After the expidsion the ruins pon the 30th of August, 1565, at the ome meeting of the Methodist Emscopai Church, in Shipley’s woods, Anne Arundel county, ‘Maryland. More than forty witnesses have been exam- ined at this office, including prominent minis- ters of the Methodist Episcopal Onarch, many of the tent-holdere, many of the colored people themselves, as well as strangers accidentally present By the evidence it appears that for a tong se- Ties of years the Methodist Episcopal Church has been in the banitot holding camp meetings onthe ground named above, at which it was the upiversal m for the colored peopie to Attend; that on tuis occasion they—i. ¢. the col- ored people—were nt &s usual, and had ther a ground assigned to them by the proper cers appointed for the purpose of selecting the camping ground for both whites and colored; that the camp meeting was more than usually quiet and orderly until the Iast Night of the meeting: thatthe meeting on the night of the 30th of August was one of more Aban usual solemnity and imprese:venese, And thatthe mot was instigated by a namber of white men making an attack upon the ¢ol- ored people while in the act of prayer. evi- dently with the view of involving the whites ebgaged in the camp meeting in a riot. This jact is shown from the white rioters always Tetreaing within the circle of the white peo- pie’s tents when Tepulsed by the negroes, as also by threats against the white ministers, it is shown conclusively by the evidence that the negroes acted only in self-defence, and left the ground entirely when advised to do so by ihe white preachers, thus leaving their tenis and goods to be destroyed and burnt by the white rioters. From a careful reading of the whole testi. mony, itis impossible to resist the conclusion that the riet was premeditated, apd that the object of the riot was—ist, an attack upon the colored people; and 2d, 2 deliberate attempt to break up the camp-meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Church on account of the alleged i-slavery sentiments of its ministers and members. 1 am, General, very respectfully, your obe- dient servant, E. M. Garcory, Brevet Major Gen. Vols., Ass’t Com’r. The testimony of a large number of witnesses is appended to General (+regory’s report, fully sustaining the conclusions arrived at by him. Amonzst them, Key. N. J. B. Morgan, Pre- siding Elder of Washington District, (M. E. Churehb,) testified and concluded as follows :— From all | bave seen and heard, I am satisfied that that the whites were the ; that the disturbance had been deliberately planned to break up obr meeting: that Southern sym- pathivers and rebels were the instigators and the actors in the row; and that it was directed Sgainst us because of the loyalty of our Church to the General Goyernment. and bored ftrigusly for, some time, ais Ie most desperate efforts br the firemen, Pas dwellings vdjoining w conenmed.

The express train which left Meadeville,Pa., Wednesday morning at halt- past seven o'clock. ran off the track two miles from Union,’ Pa. and was precipitated down an embankment some forty feet. All on board were more or less injared—some ten of them seriously. The conductor, Mr. White,and the engineer and fireman were Burt very. badly. » cause of the accident is said to have been a rail out of piss, Had the train been running fast there is noteliing what would bive been the result, but the engineer had slackened up for the pur- pose of oiling the engine.
