THE ATTACK ON MIL I'LLTKS.

that on last Friday Coi. C. K. I!.

Wati s < siine into town Tor t he purpose
of obtaining the release of ('ol. ('ash,
and also with the rfivowed intention
of attacking .Mr. IVguos, the editor
of the local papei. the 'Carolina
Sun.-'
In si subsequent letter, however, to
t be "News and Courier," ('ol. Walts
denies thai nny of flic piirties came
from bone- for the purpose of si row .
However thai may be, it seems Hint
the row came. While Mr. IVgues
was quietly walking home to dinner
from his ollice, ('apt. ('ash, who wsis
in the street, drew his pistol upon
him, and if it had not bei n for t he
interference of genl lernen, who thrust
Mr. I*egues in sin open doorway. so
lions consequences may have beeii
ekpeeled.

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

Public otlicials, and good citizens
have the responsibility for the peace

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.

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.

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. .

as a candidate for ibe ahove ollice. it is

We further urge our claim in Iii- bchall on
the ground, that the inciiinbenl of that
