— LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Camp Mzetincs.—The season has commenced tm whieh the members of the Methodist Church im thisgountry hold their camp meetings. The harvest is ended, and the churches and srcieties im the rural districts meet together for religious =. A grove is always selected, away from Populous cities, and companies are formed jn tne churebes of the surrounding country, and, gies themselves with tents and provisions or a week's encampment, they meet together at the appointed time. Generally, those meetings are interesting. and thousands flock to thern from all sections. It is usual for the presiding minis- ters of the Methodist denomination to engage their clergymen frem distant stations for services at the camps. Quite a number of the Methodist Protestant members have already left the city for camp meetings in various sections of Maryland We have before us a list of the camp meetings of this Church, and the ministers appointed by Rev. Mr. Roby, president of the Maryland Conference; some of which are already begun. as follows: Dorchester, Drawbridve, August 6; for this Meeting nine ministers were appointed. Caro- line, Bethel, same day; eight ministers. New Town, Quinton, Angust 19; seven ministers Union, Horm Town, Angust 27; elght ministers. Harvest Home, Howard Cire August 13; eight Ministers ‘ust 20; eleven Ministers gust 37; ters. Accomac, Aug seven ministecs The Harvest Home, on Howard Circuit, will doubtless be a very large and interesting meeting. Mauy of cur citizens have started for that local- ity, and extensive arrangements bave been made for their aecommodation. Among the ministers appointed we see the names of several who were very popular while serving at stations near this city, vig: Rev. Messrs. Josiah Varden and D. Evans Reese and Dr wentzel At the Baltimore Circuit the ministry is strong- ly represented. and among these appointed are Rev. Messrs. Eli Henkle and Geo Hs Hamilten, who have becn withdrawn from the regular ser- viee by reason of age and inficmity. Their ap- pearauce at the camp will induce the attendance of many of the venerable members of the denom- iwation, who remember them in their early min- istry a balf century since. Tue ministers yenerzily are known to ns by Teputation. and appear to be the best of the Cor- ference. We have mentioned the above because of their numerous friends and acquaintances here,~who are always glad to hear from them To those who wish to withdraw for a short time trom the heat and dust of the city, and mingle among moral and religious company, the Harvest Home and the camp on Baltimore Circuit offer favorable opportunities as the distance ix not great, the expense not worth consideration and the arrangements for comfort excellent. Tatars Yestervay —Justice McKenna was kept busy yesterday with the trial of cases under the Corporation laws: Lucinda Bailey was arrested by Officer King, for being drunk, disorderly, aud saying bad words he case was made plain, and Lucinda was ordered by the Justice to pay a fine of 85 and costs, or, in case of failure, to serve a term at (Queen's villa. Lucinda was in aclose lace; her finances were as much embarrassed ax the Corpo, Tation’s, and, being young and delicate, she could arya J endure a term at the farm. She used her best endeavors to excite sympathy, and finally succeeded in getting a superceder. This being over, she hed her father (William Bailey) arrested fer using profane and indecent language in the street. She yave het testimony inst him im the clearest manner ible, ex- iting the * fixed fact”? that her pa had talked “all sorts 0” bad,” and she had ‘nothin’ agin’ Bim” There was no alternative, and William = had to pny S2 and costs. He then wanted ‘Yer bound over to keep the peace; but the Squire: who by this time had j dee enough abont » for reasous best known to himseif, pubiless sufficient, declined to issue the it. parties had bs, ont of the door,when in came Officer Chipley, baving in custedy Lucy Hepburn, colored, who was charged by Eliza ca iter with ‘‘cussin’’ ber, and “‘coyin’ away her Jawful married husband, Bill Carpenter.” Lucy is atall, bright mulatto, and Eliza is ofa color neatly approximating that of the Guinea breed. The Squire soon inanaged to yet rid of the “cussin”’ case, by a fine of $3 and costs; bat the “coyin’ case involved a question of right. Esiza said, “Me an’ Bill ’s bin married six years; lorful married, Squire, an’ 1 my lorful stimi- kit’ Lucy didu't claima right us jaw. Her claim was in equity. Bill speat more time id money with her than with Eliza; they had ved together two years, and she had two “stim its.” but would not claim that either was “lor- ful.” Eliza might take Bill. She would drive bim away—she had done so already—and could get along without bim, easy enough. The quire—who doubted his right to decide upon the right, inasmuch as the “stiftikits’ of both parties were absent—advised the parties to take thetr own course in the settlement of the case on fair terms. Tue Vacation AND Tim ScRooLs.—The vaca- tion, in which teacher and scholar—released from the toils of the schoolroom—seek to reinvigorate their health and fit themselves for starting anew in the race, draws nigh to its close. Schoolrooms are being repaired and refitted, additional instru- ments to illustrate the sciences find purchasers, teacbers begin to advertise. and ts and guardians are thinking of the education of their sons and wards, and are looking over the educa- tional columas of the Star to see who advertises tbie for those under their charge ich witl enlarge daily until some erthe close of the belidays, is now as follows The Union Academy, Z.

Washington, August 12, 1558. peace in the Home of NIA: FE. Ricn Case.—Yesterday afternoon the case of the Corporation against John Seitz for throwing uilth on the door of the residenceof C H. Phelp-, and George Seitz for disorderly conduct, was taken up for a further hearing by Justice McKer- na, at the office of Justice Donn. The office was filled by a wondering audience, composed in pa:t of the witnesses, male and female ; some dozen police officers, who were not in their districts and appeared to have no business to attend to ; and a few county constables, acting in the capa- city of prompters, much to the annoyance of the Justice, the defendants’ counsel and the wit- nesses. During the examination of the witnesses for the prosecution the counsel received a hint a minute, from the accused and half a dozen learned bailiffs, who appeared to be greatly inter- ested in the result. This annoyance proceeded until the Justice ordered one prompter out of the office, and announced that another such interfer- ence would meet with a committal to jail. Not- Withstandiag this declaration some of the police fticers and bailiffs continued their improper duct. A discussion next ensued between the Justice and the counsel, growing out of his honor remarking that he did not want the counsel to question the witness and answer for him. The position and rights of the justice and counsel were defined and the case proceeded, and after much difficulty bronght toaclose. George Seitz was dismissed, and John Seitz ordered to pay $10 aud costs. It ix not unusual for scenes similar to this to oceur at this office; but the absent, justice may have expected that his friend, while acting for hin, wi d with decency and If so, be is mistaken; for the condnct yesterday was even worse than on any previous occasion. Such scenes induce bystanders to be- lieve that magistrates ure afraid to infilct the proper punishment upon constables who treat fon With contempt, and the community demand that jndicial authority shall exert its legat power to coerce respect. it is, perhaps, proper to state that the George Seitz mentionod above is not George Seitz, Sr., baker, New York avenue, near Tenth street ; nor is the John Seitz his son John. We mention this to prevent any injury iba done to a worthy man, Whose name is precisely the same Cesxtre Manxet.—The market, this morning, presented a cheerful appearance, and business was brisk in the various departments. The snp- ply was ample and of good quality; the aitend- ance of dealers large, and of purchasers about as usual at a Saturday market; the demand brisk wod sales rapid. The sky being overclonded fom an #arly hour the market was more comfort- abie than for a month past. The vegetable stands were uearly all occupied, and the greatest crowd wasinthem.

Eggs, per doz Tus Rivex —There is a general slack up of the ordinary business operations of the people about the river shores this morning. Noarrivals for several days of the usual coal vessels. The wharf of the Gas Company having been removed to the western end, ail their wharf business is of course transacted at that point, and acorrespond- ing falling off is observable at their old coal depot at the foot of Eleventh street. The only business that seems to thrive at the present time iw the excursion traffic. Not a day but what the Collyer, Page, Guy, or some other steamer goes floating off with a cargo of live freight from our wharves. bound for sume of the numerous pleasure grounds alony the shores of the Potomac This morning, a private party consisting of eighteen of our fellow-citizens, who are oryan- ized under the name of ‘The Felix Fishing Club,” left the wharf at the foot of Tenth street on a ten day’s pleasure trip to Cone river. The little yacht “ Felix,” commanded by Mexsrs. Diek Adams, Mike Coombs and others, was fitted up in good style, and with ample pro- Visions stowed away in her hold for an extended ise. We observed among the substantials, hey were being secured on board thix morn- ing. the long necks of certain demijobns, and as they were moved about upon the deck they emitted a pleasant gurgling sound that munt have been extremely soothing to the voyagers. Having partaken of a parting “sniffer” with th- shore friends, the party were wished bon voyage, and hoisting the sails, were off to the sound of a kettle dram solo, performed by their musical member. Let them havea good time amidst the cool shades that enclose the right waters of old Cone river. DiscRacr¥vt —We are requested to call the attention of the police to gangs of disorderly boys and young men, who Infest the public grounds on the Island. About the Smithsonian and Monument squares these yonng scoundrels lie in wait of an evening to perpetrate any act of infamy that the devil can instil tnto their de- raved minds. The other evening, abont twi- igbt, as a nomber of little girls were returning from the isiand,througb the Smithsonian grounds, they were met by this gang of juvenile scamps, aud treated mort shatuefully. They are well koows to many persens who bave, on various occasions, witnessed their outrageous acts. Let the officers be on the lock out for them A Rownery.—On the day before yesterday it was discovered that a farnished house in the First Ward, the property of Lt. Patterson, U. 3 N., which had been closed for some time, had been en tered on Wednesday night last from the back part of the premises and robbed of as many articles that coutd beconveniently carried off It behooves the police to be particularly watcbful of snch houses. ‘There are many private residences in Washing- ton closed at this time and left without due guardianship. The police should keep an es- Peetal watch over them A Dead Letter —This Morning our mail azent—a youth noted for bis originality as well as promptness—rushed into our sanctam with the exciamation “‘ ’Ere’sthe mail!” ‘Throwing the papers upon the table, he presented us an en- velope embellished a black border, and re- marked, “And 'ere’s ter fur yer, sir; but J reckon it’s a dead letter'’’ Cuvenry ro Aximats.—Much has been said and printed about cruelty to animals. Chapter after chapter has been published, and sermon after sermon preached, in this city upon this sub t—sufficient, if tly considered the time who daily commit slow murder horses, dogs, oxen, and every s of domestic animal in our streets, every day of their lives, would lead, doubtless, to aconsiderable reforma. tion in this odious practice. It ought, however, to be remembered by the sermonizers and writers upon this prolific theme, that the class they preach about never hear them preach. The guilty parties are often negroes, aud debased people whose vocation is to drive horses and oxen, and who never read newspapers nor go to chapel; therefore they must be reached, and the reforma- tion be brought about, by other and more direct means. The peg are the doctors for this moral distemper. t them be on the lookout for the unfeeling brutes who daily beat faithfal horses, ete., in the streets, and when they are caught, let the mayistrates, when they are whites, fine them heavily, id, when colored and irresponsible persons, by sending them over to Queen’s farm to hard labor. The coal wharves on the river shore present a fine field for the philanthropic policeman to labor in. If every scape-grace who maltreats the cart horse with which he is intrasted for the transportation of coai from the wharves to the city were to bleed for hix cruelty, finan- elally, in just proportion to the blows which he inflicts, the funded debt of Washington city could be brought down toa cypher in less than six months* time.
