While Mr. IVgues was quietly walking home to dinner from his ollice, ('apt.

If the correspondent af the "News ? a ml'Courier" is correct in his state ment as to tin inaction ami indif ference of the nlllcials and citizens I during the dillictilty, and while it was hrewing, il is a rcllcction upon the good iunue of Cheraw. Public otlicials, and good citizens have the responsibility for the peace ami good order of the community resting upon their shoulders, and their duty in this respect cannot lie evaded. rin: southern bin;. About ten years ago, we took out a policy in the Insurance Company of the above name lor about $3,000, as well as we can recollect without refer ring to papers. After making some two or three annual payments of about $80 each, not feeling altogether satisfied, we quietly dropped out, and took a paid up policy for $2-10. Suddenly aber this, the crash came, and the startling intelligence spread over I he count ry Hint t he great Southern Life Insurance Company bad failed. Soon after, the comfort ing assurance came, through circu lars from Geb. Gordon and Gov. Col quitt to each policy holder, that their interests would be zealously looked after. Time rolled on and nothing encouraging could be gathered from the long and omiuious silence. Wednesday wo received a postal from Memphis, the headquarters of the Company, staling that the As signees have declared a final divi dend, and that our amount is only $1.2n, and concluding in the consol ing language, that "as il is less than the smallest fee charged by us in any ease, we have retained the same as compensation for our services." Wc publish the above, because we suppose that similar cards have bei n received by many other unfortuuates in our County, to'wboin wc desire to extend our heartfelt congratulations on the successful settlement of their little fees. Wc would now suggest that it may lie appropriate for Gov. Colquilt, be fore he becomes loo much engrossed in the contest for the Gubernatorial (hair of Georgia, to deliver the funeral discourse of this defunct company, and that Gen. Gordon at tend at the same time, before fulling too deep into his retirement, ami ex plain to the unsophisticated the mys terious process by whic h an Insu rance < 'oinpany can fail. A "STKAHiHTOUT" PIC-NIC. W I M.OW S WA Ml'. S. ( '.. .Inly 1Mb 1380. luH'oy f'hiicii,: As ii appears to be customary lor your correspondents to band in ac counts of their pic nics and merry makings, I wili a^k a corner in your esteemed paper to give your many readers a short sketch id' our recent ly inaugurated club by the name of I he "St raightout" Democratic Club of I bis Township, to which an in vita tiou was extended to all. and, to give increased interest to the occasion, a number of legal and literary gentle Mien of your village were invited to be present and address the assem blage Preparation had been made by the erection of a speaker's stand 20 feet j in length, beautifully decorated w ith | (lowers, and an arch over the centre, I giving it a line appearance, and alto get her, representing the exquisite taste of live of the finest of the fair sex, assisted by an equal number of young men. On the day appointed, at an early hour, (ho people began to come from far and near, and by 1 2 o'clock 2"i<> were present, and, bad ii not been for :::i interesting protracted mooting which was ihen going on at Bethel P.aptisl Church, the attendance, would, in all probability, have great |y exceeded I his number. Alas for our hopes! the eloquent speakers, from w hom we bad expect e l so much on this occasion, were looked forvain :in the hours rolled by; and. ns far as 1 know, only one , has olferod uu\ excuse whatever for j this neglect. 1 lad we been ii party of Rads, beul on the destruction of our Slate atid countV', wi could uol have i met u iih ?<n liter contempt at Iho ' b : . t; of tluise whii tjiigiit to be fore-1 most in lending n helping hand to us in organizing for the coming eon lliet with the common eucrny. Hut, we arc not entirely without native talent in our section, and nf ter waiting for the greater lights, un til it became apparent that we should have tu depend upon our own re sources, Mr. W. ('. Mitchel, in iT few well chosen word.-;, introduced Mr. Wilkos Snwyer, who delivered a very appropriate and interesting ad dress, notwithstanding t hat he begun by saying that he was a plow man. and not a speaker. .Mr. Joseph Hobinson was then called upon, luil declined to speak, saying that ho w.-i.-, a worker only, and that he was sati^ lied it was the intention of the peo ple of this county to make a < lerk of him next November. Loud calls were then made lor W. C. Mitchel, who came forward and said that he was not a speaker butn mover, and he thereupon moved thaj the baskets he brought to the front, which motion found a second, and it was not long before the centre.table was Idled wi;h stores of edibles, a ltd under the direction of the competent table committee, soon presented, uu del" its load of iced cakes. Ac. more the appearance of a wedding feast than of an ordinary pic nie dinner. After all had eaten and drank (iced lemonade not tangle fool ). ami the many baskets id' fragments had been removed, the livery music of violin, organ and accordion soon put the young people in mind for dancing, and a large plank llo?>r was quickly laid, ami the many youths and maid ens w ere soon h ipping till! light fan tastic to the tune of "we won't go home till morning.'' The day passed off with no other disappointment than that of the. ah scucc of the speakers above men tioned, and old and young felt, on departing for their home.-, thai this had Leen a day of real enjoyment. We have not suffered for want of rain in this part of tin County, and crops look line with those w ho are sun burned, but fair skinned ones have plenty of Gen. Green with them. W A 1(11. THAT POST MASTER. OnANomu jco,*-!^. C-., **- ? duly tilth, l SSO. EtHtoi' Orungchtiry Thwx : My attention has been called ton reply from the "Korshaw Gazette," to my article which appeared in your paper last week relating the incidents occurring on the trip of a 15. !'?. par ty toCamdeu in which I referred to the Post master at that place. In reply to the "Gazette" i would request that my article and the 'mail regulations', published in the "Ca ssette" over the signature of K. II. Hrooks I'. M. be read, and then ask whether or not I had any cause for complaint. I state further that the postmaster was not distributing mail at (he time, but had tin1 olllcc open and was at the "hoi." when asked for i he card. The "Cassette," after attempting to show that the postmaster was open ing mail at the time, and therefore could not attend to my wants, says; "We presume t his correspondent w as either ignorant of this fact, or else thought that he deserved more con sideration at the hands of our post master than any citizen ofCamdon." This correspondent was ignorant of such a fact, and expects ever to Le. if the Camden postmaster and the "Ga zette arc to properly inform him. 1 do not expect any more consideration, than any one else, bit I have a right to expect as much, even from the "national republican" post master tit Camden. Iho fact that be was rec ommended for appointment by "near lv every business man in Camden," (including I i der the editor of the "Gazette,") lo the contrary not with standing. My statement as ma le w as correct and it is useless to reite rate. What is the matter friend Heard? Have you not "slept oil" the elfecls of your < 'incinnat i ' rip? Is "our posl master" a-- much con corned as you appear to be? Don! wail any more, and donl join your self loo closely to this idol, I mean "our postmaster," for you may have to let him go. . Scorer.
