LETTER FROM CAMDEN.

LECTURES, Social GATHERINGS, SLEIGH
RIDES, SCHOOLS, &c.
10 tie Editor Of the Journal
This has been the liveliest winter Cam
den has known for some years. The past
week has been one of unusual activity. A
large ride came up from Thomaston Mon
day, and another on Tuesday from the
same place, and at the same time one
from Belfast. The sleighing is excellent
We have had great privileges in the
way of lectures this winter. DR.. Haven
of Boston, "Nasbv,r Professor Thwing
of Portland, Gen. Hall and others have
been here, and Murray and Allen are ex-
pected.
The Episcopal society are having very
pleasant social gatherings-last Tuesday
we attended one at the Rev. Mr.. Atwell's.
Besides his duties as a pastor, Mr.. Atwell
has charge of a fiourishing Classical
Boarding and Day School. The second
term began last week. In the spring he
proposes to have built large and spa
cious dormitory, the lower story of which
will be divided off into recitation rooms.
Mr.. Atwell intends to make this school a
home for boys, where they may be trained,
both morally and intellectually. No To-
cality in the State is better addapted for a
school than Camden. In natural scenery
none surpasses it. In the geology of its
mountains and the natural history of its
shores the student finds ample subject
matter.
Carleton, Norwood & Co. have laid the
foundation for new lime kiln. Theil
business in this village has increased dur
ing the past year. They propose building
three vessels next season
The Bay View House has been sold to
Messrs. j. & B. c. Adams and Z. III. De-
merth of this place. Every effort will be
made on their part, to sustain its merited
reputation. Mr.. Demerth has been CLERK
of the Bay View for number of years.

A RELIABLE, TONIC.

OF all medicines that give strength and robustness
to body and mind, DODD'S NERVlNE bears the
palm. Its sale is large and its popularity long es-
tablshed. Probably more families keep it on hand
for every day use as stimulant and corrective
than all other medicines now before the public. 1t
is pleasant to take as any wine. jan25 4w

How A PRESIDENT is ELECTED.-
Not all of our readers, perhaps, un-
dcrstand tho modo by which tho
President of tho United States is
elected, as wo not unfrcGucntly hear
inquiries on the subject. Briefly
stated, tho plan is as follows:
Each State is entitled tc as many
electors for President and Vice -Presi.
dent as it has Senators and Reprcsen-
tatives in Congress.
In each State the electors are cho.
sen by a plurality vote. That is, il
there are three sets of, electors voted
for, those having tho highest number
of votes are chosen.
But a candidate for President, in
order to be successful, must have a
majority Of all the electors.
If there bo three candidates for
President, and none Of them receive
y majority of the Electoral College,
there is no choice, and the election
then goes to the House Of Rcprcsen-
tatlVeS.
The House must confine their
choice to the three highest candidates
voted for by the electors: The Rep-
resentatives vote by States, and each
State has but one vote, SO that the
power of Delaware is rs great as New
York. A candidate, to be successful,
must receive a majority of all the
States, or nineteen States. If the
delegation is divided, tho vote of the
State cannot be cast, and therefore is
lost.

For GOVERNOR, GEN. NJ G. BUTLER,
We do not think it possible for any
man, with the good of South Carolina
at heart, to entertain for u moment,
the lea of supporting either Of the
candidates for Governor now offered
by the two wings of the Republican
party. Therefore, seeing no prospect
for reform in that party, we will 60
outside of the Republican ranks, and
support for Governor, that gallant
soldier and truc-hcarted Carclinian,
Gen. NJ. c. Butler. If elected, he will
serve with true fidelity to his oath OF
Office, and discharge the duties there
by imposed upon him fairly and i'm
partially to every man, without regard
to race or color. If he is defeated,
we will have the satisfaction OF know
ing that we cast our vote for an hon
est man and gentleman, and not for
a proNigate scalawag plunderer and
-taker.- Edgcfeld Ad-
vertiser.

The Third ngrcssional District
Convention met yesterday, in the
office of tho Adjutunt and Inspector

Elliott, tho present incumbent, was
put in nomination, Hon. William b.

mously renominated. A committee
Of three was appointed whe conduct
ed Mr.. Elliott before tho Convention.

A New CANCER CURE.-The follow
ing letter was received at this office.
Without answering for its correctness;
wc print it for what it is worth. We
have no knowledge Of the author:
I wish to tell how I cured my can
Ger without pain OF money. Eight
years ago q cancer came on my nose,
it grew slow for several years; the
last two it grew very fast, it became
frightful; it began to eat out my left
eye. l had paid hundreds of dollars,
and tried doctors from far and near,
without finding relief: Finally, I
began to drink wild tea, putting the
tea grounds on my cancer every night
as q poutice. In six weeks my can
Ger was cured. I am 62 years old. l
gave this remedy to several thai: had
cancers I know of two that have
been cured. I believe wild tea grows
