Early this morning carriages, wagons, and vehicles of all descriptions began to arrive, and by the time preaching commenced there were felly 800 vehicles out- side the arena of the teats. These brought about 3,000 people, who, immediately after arriving, began promenading around the circle.

After @ great struggle the amount of 2250 was sub- scribed—S100 of this being coutribated by the residents of Montgomery county. This was increased to about $300 by a basket col- | lection. After the collection the Rev. Lr. Tarean preached from Exodus 4,15. This, without an exception, was the best sermon ever preached on these grounds. It is the talk of the camp and praised by all. | CREATURE COMFORTS. Immediately after the close of the sermon the vast multitude separated, satisfied with spiritual food, but craving for the something to satisfy the inner man. The different din- ing saloons were soon filled, and an hour afterwards the tables looked as if the grass- | hoppers from Kansas had made a raid here. | EVENING SERVICES. At 3 p.m. the Rey.

Woodward, A. v, J. (combs, T. Eddy. D. Faw er, Harry Baker and others. Much interest was mani- fested by the large crowd of young peopie who gathered to hear them, both at the morning and afternoon services. In the morning meeting Chariey Nye made one of the best addresses to the unconverted ever heard here, and there can be no doubt but good will result from it, for conviction could be seen on the countenances of those who listened to him. AN OFPOSITION MEETING. Immediately after dinuer a man by the neme of Dolan, who, with two followers, came from Washington last evening, siarted a meeting on the oad lo the depot,and began Du af misled by false prophets or preachers, whose mouths were muzzied, and who, because of being paid for preaching, were afraid to pro- claim the truth, and that their attire and jewelry made them appear rather as garm- nlers than clergymen.

A FIGHT. A disgraceful fight took place on the border of the me round, near the “Horse Pen.” As on last Sabbath, a large quantity of bad whisky had been drank by theconir ymen , and upen both occasions the drinking, as usual, culminated in a fight. The particulars of this Sunday row, as near as could be ascertained, are as follows: A young man Whose name could not be learned, accused another by the name of Chas. Thompson, of stealing his jug of whisky, and made numer- ous attempis duting the day to provoke a quarrel, but was unsuccessful until about 3 o’clock, wheu he applied an insulting epithet to Thompson, who, stung tomadness, turned and struck his accuser, when a deputy sher- iY, with much more zeal than judgment, ran in, ard seizing kim, literally tore his coat from his body; but not before the sheriff was pretty well in the dust. The man, of course, resisted, then the crowd rushed in, and four or five men tried to handeuft the assailant. which they succeeded in doing after a severe struggle. IN AND OUT. He was then taken to the depot and con- fined in the telegraph office, a iarge crowd following, who gathered about the depot aud declared that he should not be taken to Rockville jail, offering to give any amount of bail for bis release.
