THE TEMPERANCE LECTURE.-Gen. j. Is.
Kershaw delivered the lecture on the occa-
sion of the fourth public meeting of Wa
teree Division, No 9, S. of 7. Owing to
the inclemency of the weather, the audience
was not so large as it would otherwise, in all
probability have been, but the Division was
out in full numbers, and several ladies, be-
sides considerable number of other persons
were present. G.. w. P, A. NJ. Kennedy,
occupied the rostrum with Gen. Kershaw
and directed the ceremonies. The Rev. A.
X. Durham opened the services by prayer.
After an ode by the choir the G. W. p. in
troduced, in few words, the lecturer, who
held the most of his audience closely for
half hour. After the lecture another ode
was sung and the G. p. proceeded to deliv-
er short but very earnest address, calling
upon those who stand alooffrom the movement
to join in it, and give helping hand against
the terrible curse of intemperance. The
Rev. Robert Thomson then pronounced the
benediction, after which the ceremonies con-
eluded. 1t is hoped that great good will be
done by the public speeches. They stir up
the community on the subject and keep ii
prominently before them. In few weeks,
it is hoped to have another public lecture by
one of the most celebrated Temperance Lee
turers now in the world. We will recur to
this at a subsequent time

FREsHET IN WATEREE RIvER-On Sat
urday last, after the heavy rains, the river
began to rise rapidly, and all transit was
suspended from Saturday until Monday,
when persons came over by Peav's ferry
The lower ferry, however, was impossible
until Tuesday. The freshet comes at a time
when perhaps it will do less damage than
at any other. Some Of the planters will lose
a few bales Of cotton.

DETENTION OF THE TRAIN.-The up
passenger train did not arrive in Camden on
Monday night until after II o'clock, which
rather brings it to Tuesday morning. The
cause of the detention was the run off of a
freight train on the main line, which pre-
vented them from reaching Columbia at all
on Monday.
This was pretty severe oh the railroad
men, but they seem to stand it remarkably
well.
