Mr. J. Rey- nolds, assistant secretary of the conventian, and a delegate zrom the Coachmakers’ Union of this city, arose and delivered a brief speech relative to the question under consideration, protesting against establisbing any specific sum. He aia the association had yet to as- certain the exact amount of money that would be necessary to sustain the union, and that if the members were required to contribute six deilare per year to the general fund. it would sometimes be imposible. and always difficult, to obtain from them additional subscriptions durmg emergencies: whereas, if the dues were not 80 Fpecifically fixed, but were to be .evied in proportion to the exigencies of the organi- zation, a more generons feeling might possibly pervade the hearts of the coachmakers, and more satisfactory resnits be achieved by less stringent measures. He closed his argument by making a motion to lay the subject on the tabie, and the motion was carried. ——_6- Fing.—An alarm of fire was sounded this morning, abont half-past 12 o'clock, from box 38, caused by the partial burning of @ three- story frame house, located on the conth side of C street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth, occupied as a second-hand furnitare store and dwelling by @ eolored man. named St. Clair Burleigh. When discovered. smoke was is- suing frcm the centre of the lower floor and under the steps leading to the gecond story: and as none of the family were at homeat the time, the fire was donbtless the work of an in- cendiary. The firemen were promptly on the ground. but only the services of one steamer, (the Franklin.) were brought into use, as the fire bad gained but little headway and the abundance of water at hand made itan easy matter to get.a stream ou. But little dam age ‘w&s done the building or its contents. ———e= AVOIDANCE OF SICKNESS. —The air at this eeacon, and especially during the alternations of drenching rains and hot suns, is full of the elements of disease, to avoid which is, or should be, the study, 8s it is the interest of all. To remember then that an empty stomach greedily takes in miasm, furnishes a rule for our guidance, which 1s simple, easy of prac- tice, and of potentefficacy. Avoid going futo the open air before the morning meal is eaten; Avoid sitting or sleeping in the open air if the temperature is in the slightest degree chilly: And a safeguard is furnished against chills and fevers, and tbe usual fall diseases, more certain u all the apothecary'’s drags and physician's formulas Ms PIckrockeTs.—On the last trip ot the steamer Columbia trom Bahimore to this city, which arrived here about eight o’clock Sunday night, it seems that a deputation of the ‘light: fingered” gentry must have taken pagsage.

Two other prizes were offered, the first of which was claimed respectively by the owners of the boats Brunette and the G. W.

Sheckel's restaurant, at the foot of 7th street wharf, and after a full hearing of the case, the following decision was arrived at: Officers of the Brunette Club.—Gentiemen: By your direction we have met for the purpose of #iving a decision in the late race, which, in our minds, 1s as follows: The Aldager, 15 feet keel, passed the buoy boat at 7th street wharf at 7.23 p.m.. The G. W. Harrison, 92 feet keel, and the Branette, 15 feet keel, arrived atthe same place at94lp. m., the Harrison being a half length ahead. The Greyhound, 2% feet keel, arrived at 10.2 p. ™m., andthe Augusta, feet keel, at 11.3 p.m. After waiting untit 11 o'clock p. m., and no other boats coming in, we e to the conclu- sion that the otber five beats had given up the contest, which we believe to be the case. There- jore. the Aldager won the first prize, without any doubt, and in our minds no boats are en- titled to the other prizes, as all of them for- feited their rights by violating the rules and regulations of the Giuband Regatta.

Laurel Episcopal Methodist Camp Me ing. Camry IN SMiTH'’s Woops, near Hanover Switen, A. A. Co.. Md , Aug. 25th —Dear Star Leaving Washington at 7.45 this morning, we found o urselves before 10 o’clock on the camp ground of Laurel Circuit,in the beratiful woods of Mr. Cephas Smith, adjoining the grove of Mr Shiplyan which camps have been held for sey_ eral years past. The ground is about 1: milas trem the railroad. The train which lauded us at Hanover Switch, wasa welt filled ohe, in charge of Captain Ballin, baving taken on quite a number at Washington, most if not all of whom were bound to the camip, whoavailed themselves of the dollar und-a-quarter round trip tickets. At Beltsville, Laurel, and other plices, the number of passengers was consider- able increased. Arriving at Hanover, there was agrandexedns and general scramble te get seats fn the vehicler, mostly spring wagons drawn in some caseses by a pair of horses 0 mules, and at others by an if!-matcbed pair— mule and horse. Many person thinking that they had not the ghost of a chance to ride, started en “Shank’s mare,” for the camp- ground. In the scramble for seats, parties got mixed up alittle, and in oue or two instances, children were seperated from their parents, ard one party of nine couples (who from their actions appeared to have resolved before start- ing to cling to eacm other through thick and thin) were for atime in a disorganiz-d condition. By some good management, how- ever. they were finally marshalled on a smaii bank, and patred off again, from whence they were transferred to the wagon. Our wagon, once Jonded, the team, a mule and horse, set to work in earnest, and right well did they man- age it, not only pulling the original load, bat an addition, in crossing the branch, of several gentleman who swung tothe tail gate to keep from soiling their nicely blacked boots. The road cannot be said to be 2 very bad one, al- though there were some deep ruts in it, and our driver, after walking where the pull was toughest, mounted the mule, and jogged along atacomfortable rate. Almost before we were aware of it, we were on the outskirts of the camp. and our driver was collecting his fare— half dollar a head. By the time we arrived, there were hundreds of vehicles and horses in the woods, in which families and individ- uals bad come from all sections of Anne Arun- del, Howard and Prince George's. Passing through the vehicles we entered the camp, first going by a refreshment booth which was doing @ good business, disposing of soda water, ice cream, &c. Standing amid the plank feats put up for the accommodation of the congregation in front of the preachers stand, we counted 32 tents in the front circle; behind which were several more, increasing the num- ber toabout 40. There are several boarding tents. Mrs. Boyers, Disneys and others, cf this neighborhood, on the ground and one also of M street church of your city, presided over by Mrs. Putney, who keeps an excellent taole, for @ goodly number from that charge. Ther are several tents from Baltimore, and Mr. Jon: . MeKelden, of Washington, has a private tent. Besides the Washingtonians present yesterday there are several others stopping on the ground, including one or two representa- tives from Wesley Chapel. The spring from which the supply of water is obtained, ts with- in a few feet of the preachers tent, and is one of the very best, giving out enongh water to supply ten thousand. The camp beivg on high ground, it is naturally healthy, In consequence of the rain, the first service on the ground did not take place until Friday evening—the erection of the tents which had been commenced in the morning not having been completed until that time—when Kev. Jobn Davis, of the Maryland Conference M. P. Church, preacbed from Phillipians, 2a chap., latter clause of 12th verse «Work out your Own salvation with fear and tremblin The congregation was not at this time large, butthe sermon was an effective one. Saturday there ‘was no service in the morning at the stand, but several prayer meetings were held in the tents, and in the afternoon the Presiding Elder, Rev. Samuel Register (formerly of the Foumary Church, in Washington.) preached a fine ser- mon to & congregation much increased ta num. bers. At night Rey. Benjamin F. Ball, of Rockville, preached on the promises of the Keacemer, a fine sermon. This morning prayer meeting was held at the stand, under the di- rection of Rev. J. W. Botelor, of Washington, and a very interesting ime was had. At 11 o’clock the sound of the horn from the stand called the congregation together, which estimated to number 2,500, probably a thousand more being without tho circle. and after singing the “Mercy Seat” Rav. Alpheus Wilson. of Baltimore, son of Rev. Nor: Wileon, preached a very able sermon from Peter, ist chapier, 16th to 10th verse! After the sermon, Kev. John Poisall, of Bal- timore, made afew remarks expressing the gratification of the ministers and members that there was such a large attendance and such cheering prospects. Alter preaching,the boarding tents did a good business, and every one who bad brought a satchel or basket with their edibles sought ont some shady spot in the woods and devoted themselves to supplying the wants of the inner man. After dinner every one seemed desirous to rest, and unul three o'clock small groups could be seen in social converse. while some ot the tents being closed gave notice that a tired oceuyant was sleeping. Until afternoon preach- ing some small parties engaged in singing spiritual songs, who drew quite large crowds around their tents. At three o'clock Rey. Mr. Atkins, of the Holston Qonference, preached from the first verse of the 4th chapter of John to a very large congregation. It being cene- rally understood that the early trains for Wash- ington and Balumore would leave the switch 4n the neighborbood of 5 o'clock, shortly after 4 the wagone were loaded and numbers were on the road homeward singing bymns. The larger number of visitors did no’, however, leave pant atter the evening services com- menced. Bro. T. H.
