His division marched Girect from Wittsburg te the White river, only sending in @ train forsupplies to Helena. Gen.

Se mour. very temperately and respecttully laid ba- tore 1t—has postponed, but hax not abandoned, the draft. At any moment which it may decm most tuvorable for the purpose, it may make a new attempt to enforce it; and as certainly as it does so it will goad the working clusses of this and the neighboring cities to resistance. And if a new insurrection ould be the restlt there is every ind thac it will not be so purposeless or so les less as the lust, and that men will spring to the tro who wil! organize the popular anger to political ends, and, making bloody examples of the house-burners and thieves who may at- tempt to turn the public commotions to the purposes of plunder, will do what they can to invest social riot with the dignity of political revolution.” > ENLISTING REBEL PLisONERS.—A statement Was mide a few days since to the effect that four or five hundred of the revel prisoners at Fort Delaware had taken the oath of allegi- ance, and were mustered into Col. Tevis’ cay- alry regiment. The Baltimore American learns that immediately on the fact becoming known to the Secretary of War he annulled the whole proceeding, and directed that the new recruits should be scattered among various regiments. lt was apprehended that so large a hody of teu, hitherto inimical to the U.S. Govern- ment, would prove dangerous it permitted to be in one regiment, in more than one respect; and if they were captured by the rebels there would be a certainty of their not being treated as prisoners of war, but executed as deserters, RF Joe Davis, brother of Jeff, is one of the poor rich inen in Mississippi, who is drawing Gably vations trom the Governiacnt, e i ‘ | which the congregation engaged in « | ] | thes | how j after wh j Thousands of conversions had taken PHE WEEKLY 8?'AR. tek iade © exceilent Family aud News Journa img om greeter yariéty of interesting reading than can be found im any other, Is publihed on Friday morning, PF EMS— Cosh invariably in advance.

Md5 Aug: } Atter I closed my letter on Tuesday Rev. S.

Atnignt Rev.

Rev, W at eleven o'clock trom M: 13th and ith ty powerful sermon was preached by B. P. Bro of Weasley Chapel—subject, » Lo:’s Warning.” Rev. G. W. Hobbs preached at right, and the services were concinded with About twenty penitents at the altar, among whom were several conversions. This morning, at 4 o'clock, the third experi_ ence inveting was beld, and continued for an and a half, and was yery interesting; a prayer meeting was heid, when umber presented themselves at the many conversions were reported. k Rev. E. P.

For an hour or more the attention of a large congregation was riveted, and with the exception of the sound of the speaker's voice, the ntmost silence prevailed. The tment of the Lord’s Supper was then administered to a large number of be- lievers, Rev. J.N.B. Morgan, Presiding } der of Laltimore District, the senior min on the ground, conducting the conse: services. At 4 o'clock this afternoon, Rey. H. M. Har- mon, of Baltimore, preached a powerful ser- mon from Daniel, 2d chapter and 40th vers and held the closest attention of the congrega. tion for above an hour. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Last night Rey. J. J. Largent preached from Ist John, 3d chapter and 2d verse, after which Rev. H. McNemar exhorted in a powerful manner, and on an in« vVitation being given, above fifty mourners ap- » some of which were Edwardes preached chew, 7th At lH o’cloe cer, ; proached the altar, the rails being torn down to make zoom for them. The meeting was kept up until twelve o'clock, many of the mourners being converted, when they all repaired to one of the large tents, where the exercises wera varied until five o’clook. The Presiding Kider, Mr. Phelps, tien proposed that they march around the circle, and led by him, nearly all on the ground marched around three times, singing diflerent hymns on the way. The ex- ercises in the tent were continued until after daybreak, and many eiher conyersions were reported. After the whites had marched around the cirele, the colored people came down from their tents and singing some of their wildest hymns, went round the circle, attracting alarge crowd and making a great noise, but the Presidi: Elder stopped them in the midst of their noisy march. The tents were all struck during the morn- ing, and by nine o'clock the grounds were deserted; the Washingtonians leaving and ar- riving in the city about noon, all highly pleased with their “one week's life in the woods.” There were several peculiar things about this meeting; one of which was the daily assemblage at the stand for family prayer insiead of at the different tents. Politics were discarded, and petenecse. see UeSIAE toe ee Carded, and Good order prevailed from first to last; indeed. some persons who have attended over fitty camps say that seldom has there been a more orderly camp held. It is said also that the sentiments of many persens underwent a great change; many who came as lnkewarm Union- ists or sympathizers going away strong friends of the Government. Whether this change was owing to any peculiar conviction we Kkaow not, but probably as the spiritual man was renewed more wisdom was given to the carnal man. Better than all, however, is the success of the mveeung spiritually—about fifty conversions being reported and the membership much strengthened. All who visited the camp are loud in praise of the hospitelity of the people, and but tew who attended it will miss another camp in that section, if possible for them to attend it. The people on that circuit have already signified their intention to hold another meeting there next year. L ARMING SLAVES IN THE SouUTH.—The Wash- ington correspondent of a Philadelphia paper writes: I hear through trustworthy sources that the Sonth has, as yet, taken no measures for the equipment and drilling of the slaves for active service in the field, though should it be finally driven to this necessity, their services will undoubtedly be brought into requisition. Alto- gether, it is computed that the South has at its command from eight hundred thousand to one Million able-bodied slaves, which it could place in the field as scon as armed, but it is not calculated to draw but say one fifth of this number, the remainder being requisite for their accustomed services on the plantations. When the measure is fairly forced upon the South, we shall probably witness a levy of about 200,000 of her slaves, which will leave not far from 7,000 able-bodied hands (not including the females) to carry on the agricultural pursuits necessary for the maintenance of both the white and black population. 2 A French work, recently published, muintains that in every 10,500 years the waters of the sea pass from one pole to the other, sub- merging and overwhelming in their passage the earth and all its inhabitants. According to the author of this theory the last of these deln- ges occurred 4,500 vears ago, and the next one is due ip 6,000 years. 7 \t vou take a dollar in gold to Richmond they will give you in return sixteen of the paper dollars of the Confederate Government, and twelve of them for one of Uncle Sam’s greenbacke. The Southern Treasury is poorer than that of Hayti, for there the paper doliar is worth eight cents in hard currency, which is two cents better then that of the rebels.
