A Witheriug RebuEe.

In our Judgment, the most whitening
rebuke that we have read Of for long
time was that Of Senator Lamar to Mr..
Hour, Of Massachusetts. 1t was on the
discussion of the pension bill, when the
learned Senator from New England saw
fit to unbottle his wrath and pour out
his embittered eloquence upon the de-
capltated head of the late Southern
Confederacy. Words were at his tongues
end, and those words were as full Of
wrath as they could be-vcry much like
the jackass when he was trampling upon
the body Of the lion, and as that lion
was dead, where was the danger? Mr..
lamar listened patiently to the gentle-
man, allowed him uniuterruptedly to
finish, and then came that superb reply,
which would Of itself have made him
forever prominent in the debates of this
country, if nothing else had done 80.
He spoke logically, clearly and conn.cs>
edly in reply to Mr.. Hoar, bringing
into supreme contempt the merciess
attack that he had made upon Mr..
Davis. Holding up in burning words
bis uusenerous onslaught, he puts the
finishing touch to his eloquent and
grand speoch in these words-frss for
effect sake, he turns across the aisle and
in a whisper just audible, asks "Who
was 1t that was chained to the rock ?"
Senator Thurman answers, "Pometheus.'
Ooh. yes, Prometheus it was; but his
body WAS preyed upon by the eagle, and
now it is the vulture that buries his
beuk in the vitals Of Mr.. Davis!
This was grand, Mr.. Lamar, and
just.

The Railroad to RidgeWaY

We are much gratiGed at the reccp'
toe of our article upon this vital sub.
icct to Camden. It needs only stirring
VIII foIIow, Us there is
no step backward in this matter. Ifany
man has the welfare Of Camden at heart
and doubts, let him read the great ~a!k-
ing match that took place in New York
a week ago, and then sit down aud
calmly reflect. Let him look squarely
in the face the established fact that
Rowell travelled in six days as much as
cars on the the Camd;n branch of the
S. @. R. R. do in the same time.
Let him, too, remember that Rowell
was on foot, and that this grsat modern
thoroughfare is propelled by steam, and
he will at once come to the conclusion
that the Ridgeway road is inpera,ively
demanded for the good of our whole
section, or that it will be best for US to
send for the aforesaid Rowell TO do our
mail service.
We are net speaking lightly, for We
regard the one as sine qua non, and
the other as the least of a very few
evils

EVERY mail brings us news Of shoot
ing scrapcs in some place or other, but
10 very few cases do We hear Of any one
being punished for it-not more than
one in twenty murderers being hung.
Nearly all Of this killing is due to the
great number Of concealed weapons
carried by young men, who use them
upon the slightest prevocation. The
Vicksburg affair is one Of the latest
before US. It occurred between Capt.
! W. F. Fitzgerald on oDe side, and W:
IL. Andrews and w. L. Green on the
other. Andrews and Green we're killed
almost instantly, and Fitzgerald dan
ge;ously wounded. The difficulty origl-
mated about the Hibernian meeting on
Monday night, at which Andrews was
elected president. Fitzgerald claimed
to be still president Of the Ilibernlan
society; and denounced the election OF
Andrews as farce. Green objected to
Fitzgerald's remarks, and threatened to
draw Il weapon, but Fitzgerald drew hls
first and shot Green through the heart.
Andrews then shot Fitzgerald, who in
turn SHOT Andrews, the ball piercing
Andrews skull at the top of the FORE
head. Another horror is reported from
Tennessee where young fellow de-
liberately shoots man because he re-
fused him the hand of his daughter.

Shadows Before ?"
IF tkcy do, we are upon the very
threshold of stirring events. 1t cannot
be denied. Look for a moment at Mr..
Hoar's speech in the Senate on the 9th
of February. Read carefully the threat
cnincs and bloodshed that he paints.
Then read again the testimony of Mr..
Chas. II. Noise before the Teller Com
mi,tee upon Southern love for the ma
tioual flag. See how graphically he
pictures it. 60 on a little further anc
read the fulminations Of the learned
Adjutsnt and Inspector-C encral convrn'
ing high old court martial for the trial
of all delinqucnts. in December next.
Hold your breath for moment and see
in connection with this the wonderful
change and improvement in arms, then
ask youself the question, are not stirring
events ahead ?
IF there are not, then Campbell was
on bender when he gave vent to these
beautiful words, or viee versa in regard
to the other actors in this splendid

Southern Convention Of Northern
Settlers

A convention Of Northern men has
been called to meet in Charlotte on the
4th of July next. recommend this very
highlh, for the expression of opinion
that CONES from that assembly will not
be that of wire pullers and disappointed
politicians, but from the real settlers in
the South who have come among US for
mutual good, and who have added to
our material welfare. A month or two
ago there was such meeting, but nn-
fortunately it was not largely attended,
owing, We think. to great extent to
the reason that tho point is not central,
but too far north.
However, we were truly gratifed at
the expressions that came from them and
we feel assured that good will result
We do earnestly trust that the attend
ance will be large, and that the gentle
men who compose that convention will
oandidly, freely and fearlessly give ex'
preston to their feelings We also hope
that Maj. Adams and Capt. McClar. Of
our own county, will attend. They are
gentlemen who have the entire respect
Of the people Of their adopted homes
and ne are not afraid Of what they have
TO say about US. Do 60, and let truth
cone, though the heavens fall.
