Farnunepae, August 13, 1845. “Another Chapter of our Veracrous Chronicler of the Camp Meeting—In which Men and Things are | treated of fairly and freely, and with all Respect to “the one Thing Needful.” Early this morning there was no end to the stir and bustle in this vicinity. From some cause or other, I have not heard accounted for, Wednesday is every year the gala day at the camp meeting here and so it hns proved this season. By the railroad’ which is aboutone mile from the “holy fair,” any number of vehicles were to be seen—some alter landing passengers,but the principal number of them willing to take freight of all sorts, in furtherance of the good cause, at the rate of sixpence a head for passengers. ‘I never,” said a gentleman who had just arrived from New York—‘saw anything liker a race course.” ‘Lord, sir,” replied a reverend look ing mortal, dressed in a suit of rusty black, with short cropped hair—‘And sir, what wonder is in thate-eurely a race course ought to be like a race course; this place, sir, isdedicated for the present week to a grand race for the ‘prize of our high cal- ling,” according to the injunction of the Apostle, ‘run that you may obtain.’ Now, sir, I dont know whether youare willing to enter the list or not; at all events, I will, and with the guidance of Providence—the spur of hope—and the whip of faith, shall not be idle until iget my crown ot glory. And yet, sir, although yonder wood encloses a race ground, and although fama humble competitor for the prize—it is as far from resembling a horse race course—and I am as far from being a jockey, or an animal, as a Cal- vanist is from being a christian. Remember the old adage—‘ A man’s nota horse if he’s born in a sta- ble;’ neither is a course uecessarily a profane horse race course, Whatever remarks may be thrown out against us.” The zealous parson paused—his face became contracted—with benevolence, of course— he gave a glance of such a character at his confuted and wondering listener, as cannot be interpreted nor discerned by common, worldly eyes or language, and turned away. “They are testy chaps, these Methodist parsons,” observed the other, ‘‘as clear as rock water and as hot as hell fire: come Snobbs let’s have some earsaparilla to wash that down ;” and so off they went, leaving us to look in another direction for Some other pleasant and profitable inci- dent. As to the’suttlers and saan there are a very fairproportion in this division of the Army of e have any quantity of those soft, sweet and mellifluous beverages which cool but inebriate not. I believe there is no other generic term for them but the homely one of *rot-gut,” which, ac- cording to tradition, was first app ie <b) Souter Johnay to a compound calleda ‘Jug of the Joke.” And yet impotent, and harmless as these draughts are, except in as faras the above quoted term is ex- pressive of some leading quality possessed by them, the cornmittee have taken a solemn vow that not on- ly John Barleycorn, but all the softer drinks are to die. At last nine or ten shops, stores and standings are placed by the highway for the convenience of the traveller. fruit, confectionary, refreshments, and all the rest abound, and are bought eagerly by the crowds of visitors. As far as 1 can learn they are productive of nothing in the form of disorder or ir- regularity, and not only this, but people find ita great convenience to be able to cut their coat according to their cloth at these cheap establishments, and the conduct of the committee is nothing short of ill-na- tured and vexatious and deserving of reprehension in any one, but how much more when practised by NEW YORK, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15 spread of the kingdom, of hearts broken, and ts | made contrite, and for this reason—that as an expost facto notice, itis far easier to believe it than prove ita lie. We hope to be forgiven if the avowal smacks | of one of a wicked and perverse generation ; but we are bound to say the next time we go to a camp meeting, it will not be with the expectation of wit- nessing conversions, but we will neverthelsss not | be wanting in the hope of witnessing a rich treat, | | and some of the wildest, most fantastic, and mosg | demonstrations to which human nature is amusi or exposed. Gloria Deo. addicte Camp Meeting at Sing Sing. Sine Sino, August 12, 1845, After mailing my letter of this morning, 1 took the stage and arrived at the camp in time to hear bro- ther Joseph Law, deliver the following prayer from the preacher’s platform, in this style :— “Oh, Almighty and ever living God, we pra: thou wilt look down in mercy upon thy numerous ser- yants, here congregated in thy wot. Help us, Oh, Lord, to fly to that refuge which thou hast provided for us—may our souls be delivered from iniquity, and from that wrath with which sinners are threatened.— (Lord forgive us miserable sinners.) May all the sinners here take warning, and flee to the bosom of God, from the wrath to come. Oh, God, cloth the world with th: Divine Grace, and teach us, that our dependence should to be on Thee above—(‘Amen,” by fifty,)—and that we should look to the Lord Jesus alone for safety, who is the sinner’s only hope. May this be the greatest meet- ing ever held on this camp ground, and may it be the means of reclaiming many sinners who have strayed from thy fold. (Lord so will it, Yws, Lord, yes, so will it) We pray, O Lord, for the santification of the whole church assembled here. We pray that thou wouldst in- { spire the hearts ofour’preachers, and may this be sach a revival as was nover before witnessed. (Amen) Oh Goi, come down and baptize us while we pray—(1o Lord.— | ‘Amen—amen)—and save us through Jesus Christ, our Lord—Amen—Do Lord—Amen—Glory.” ‘The meeting ere broke up, and hearing some noise in the northeast corner of the ¢amnp ground, I proceeded there, and found exercises going on ina tent occupied by the Poughkeepsie Young Men’s ‘Tent Association. One of the sisters was evident ly undergoing the working of the spirit, which they hiave prayed so much for, and now that they have it, they are not at all sparing of showing its et- fect upon them. Kneeling on some some straw, with her tace buried inher hands, and her elbows resting on her hips, she gaye it to the brethren and sisters in this style :— Ob, Lord Goda, we were purchased-a by the red blood ofour Saviour-a. We would humbly prostrate ourselves-a in dust and ashes before Thee-a; we thank thee, Oh, Lord-a, that when we have been far from thee-a, thou hast brought us near-a. (Hallelulah! Glory, Glory!— Here she appeared very much affected, and cried and sob- bed audibly;) Oh, Lord, breathe upon us the spirit of prayera. (Glory to God forall his mercies. Hallelulsh:) Make us one spirit and one heart-a. Oh, Lordy God-a, let our united supplications ascend to thee-1, and may they be meet intny eyes-a. We praise thee, Holy Fa- iher-o; Holy Father-a, we praise thee that we have a hope of redemption-a. Oh, Lord, shine down upenus-a, from thy court of glory-a; let the opening heavens shine with bliss-a, (Glory to God! Oh, glory, glory! .Amei Oh, Lord God, baptise us afresh-a; exorcise or faith-a, and fill our hearts with the Holy-Ghosta. Oh, God, we wanta old fashioned Holy Ghost reli (She here became very much ‘excited, throwing her head up and down and then broke out afresh) Oh, ord Goda, fill this tent with thy sanctifying pow er-a; give us the words delivered to the Saints-a— (Glory ! glory, oh glory {God bless us, and sundry other ilar exclamations by several of the brethren, who ap- eared to have caught the contdgion, and were sooming: Ney anxious that the sister should finish, so that they could lave achance.) But Lord-a we are not all agreed-a (no, no, good Lord) and we beseech thee-ato unite us in one spirit-a. (Oh Lord, do unite us.) Let us plunge into the beams of thy redeeming love-a, and let us walk in thy light-a. (Glory ! Glory! Halllelulah ! Glory! Oh Glory!) Here the cister appeared to be overcome, and she sat down on the straw, and the remainder of them got up and sung this hymn. Behold ! behold! the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross; Forus he shed his precious blood, On the cross, on the cross; Oh, hear his all-important cry, “Eli lama Sabacthani.” Draw near and see your Savior die, On the cross, on the cross. Behold! his arms extended wide, On the cross, on the cross, Behold! his bleeding hands and side, on the cross. its rays of light, ‘The heavens are closed in shades of night, While Jesus doth with devils fight, On the cross, on the cros: Come, sinner, seé him dup, On the cross, on the cross, persons who profess the live-long day, except in their intervals of mischief, to be in immediate com- pane with the King of Kings. God forgive them. On one side of the camp ground is a spacious, level tract of pasture, of several acres. Around this there were not less than ten or twelve hundred car- riages of various kinds. Perhaps there was no fea- ture observable there to-day more striking than this, He drinks for you the bitter cu On the cross, on the cross. Ke., &e., ke. While the brethren and sisters were singing, they were so much ex that they appeared to have lost all command over themselves; they would stamp their feet, clap their hands, and make the most grotesque gesticulations, poinung to the skies, &e. &e. The hymn wes hardly finished, when up jumped and it gave it the appearance of a common fair or market rather than an assembly for an exclusively religious purpose. Several thousand spectators were seen roaming about here and there through the rows of tents, even during services, which show thata uArES RECON of the men did not go toy to be converted. Nevertheless, an immensefassemblage collected in front of the preacher’s stand, which was garnished by, as near as we could count, a score of reverend workmen, each ready and mulling to divine rightly the word in his turn. The female sex was far in the majority, and as far as the fact is worth any thing we put it to their credit, deducting, how- ever, atrifie on account of their being two to one in the aggregate of those who were on the ground—as well non-worshippers as worshippers. During the afternoon sermon, in the middle of the discourse, as the speaker was descanting most earnestly on the terrors of damnation, acry of the most piercing and horrible tones] smote our ears. The preacher stop- ped, stared and listened. Louder and louder grew the ‘diabolical yells—for nothing less 1) can style them. People ‘arose and gazed in wild abstrac- tion, to the broken and apparently sty y eX- clamations—it appeared as though some maletactor was undergoing at the whipping post the excrucia- ting torments of the cat-o’-nine-tails—or rather, like the ferocious tuming of the newly imported denizen of the lake that bnrneth forever, as de- scribed by the author of ‘Dia'ogues of Devils.” At Jast the cry subsided. The discourse was resumed with one or two remarks, which gave us to know that it was one of those gracious demonstrations of religion, alias workings of the spirit, prized here among the stumps and brushwood, as more valua- ble than gold, and sweeter than honey andjthe honey- comb. One of the most curious specimens of the seek- ing multitude, was that of a man who was earnest, constant, and we may say officious, in his declara- tion of intentions relative to his pursuit of salva- tion. Te was a broad shouldered, solidly built sai- lor, middle aged, and deeply tanned, and beside the deep brown, he wore a tinge of drollery on his visage that Reve a broad hint that he was up to a bit of fun. On the way down, he first emerged from obscurity in the railroad car, which he prome- naded trom one end to the other, with the coat over his arm, and the free and easy gait of the tar ondeck. ‘I say, messmates,” mat tas “money is no trouble to me ; there’s enough in the locker, and like Will Watch, d’ye see, This night, if I've luck, furls the sails 6f my trading, elt dock Tei erve a friend, too, beside, Look ye, I’m going to be converted, and damme, awa’ von’tgo unless Ido. I don’t want for money —what’s the world toa man if his wife’s a widow; I’m going to the camp to be saved, for I’m blow’d if Tbe a castaway as long as there’s a plank in the craft of mercy to hold on.” Thus he went on ina sten- torian voice, becoming at times so vociferous that many ot the. passengers thought his eccentricity hard- ly redeemed the annoyance he gave. We saw him for the second time in acarriage entertaining some ifdozen of countrymen, between the railroad and the encampment. Again we had the edification of observing him in grave consultation with six or se- ven Methodist parsons just before preaching, and it was clear from the seriousness with which they chat- ted, that he had made a decidedly favorable unpres- sion as to his sincerity in professing to be a candi- date for a share of the divine unction. Through the whole service our friend, with the red shirt, was a remarkable personage in the group; no mean was Jonder in his “amens,” nor more fervent in‘ glo- nies”—the fact was,the rollicking sailor was glorious all through, from beginning to end, and took a deci- d “rise” out of the credulous multitude, clerical andlay. But what is worthy of note and beyond our com- prehension, if all the stories we hear of the feats of godliness annually performed at these meetings are fot so many fibs, is the fact that not.a rebrobate od yet pert eathered ante the vcnamain single convert been made yet in Farmingdale wood. What is the reason? Why is it, that persons going with the laudable intention of having the testimony of their senses, to one of these vital changes, is never so fortunate as to be gratified. Are the sub- jects sworn to secresy until it pleases some ranking visionary, @ tweivemonth after the event,to an- nounce from the pulpit that such things really had been at such a time and at such a place? There is ome advantage in this mode of promulgating the a brother, and with lis eyes shut and his fists elenched, he let us have a prayer as tollows:— Almighty and Ever Living God, we again approach thee to ask thy blessing. Oh, God, preserve and bicss all our brothers and sisters here assembled. Great God, look in merey down upon us. (Hallelulah, Glory O Glory God, Glory God of Mercy, &c.) Oh, Lord God, appear precious to sinners, and those who are not already convicted ; do thou through thy mercy convict them, and save them from eternaldamnation. (Oh, Lord God do, we beseech thee. Glory—yes do,do Lord.) Be with us Lord for the remainder of this meeting, and pre- reternal salvation. Let e the openin; ii ms of light. (Rather poetical.) if ur hearts against thy will, de : and when we do worship C! grace and in humility; and_oh Lord, take full Bie each brother and sister it be with possession of our hearts. here present, and fiil their souls with glory, and reserve them for that eternal life which 1s in‘store for them. (Glory to God, with clapping of hands.) Let them not be aes professors, but genuine Christiaus. (Amen, ainen ‘ This brother continued some time longer inthis manner, and when he concluded, one of the sisters, with her knees on the straw, in a state of excite- ment amounting to phrenzy, and shaking in every part, with her arms extended, and sobbing aloud, commenced praying in the following strain :— _ Oh, L help our ministers to preach thy gospel in ita purity id prepare us for the duties before us; and © with us, and prepare us to work on thy work ; minds constantly free, and open to divine im pressions. _ It was now Pathe towards six o’clock, and the fumes of some salted codfish, which was being cook- ed im a neighboring tent, admonished the breth and sisters, that the corporeal body required n ment to sustain it on this trying occasion. They then sung a psalm with this chorus, and then ad- journed to their suppers :— “Oh Canyon, (Canaan) oh, Canyon, it'is my home, For I am‘bound for the land of Canyon.” $ August 13, 1845. I was awakened this morning at 5 o'clock by the blowing of thateternal tin horn. At first I thought to disregard itand have another snooze, but the blower, faithtul to his trust, kept it up untill was sa- tisfied there was no avoiding it. Weclaimite * Devil take that horn,” at which one of the brethern looked daggers at me, 1 got up, dressed myself and went through my ablutions, wishing horn blower and all in —— orjany place but where they were. After asub- stantial breakfast by the brethern and sisters, the ex- ercises commenced in good earnest ; to judge from external evidences, the Poughkeepsie Young Men’s Tent Association is without exception the most pious and zealous assemblage that it was ever iny good fortune to see, and next to it, the Green street As- sociation of New York. After taking a walk around the encampment and surveying the beauties of the surroundiig scenery, I stepped into the first mention: ed tent, and instead of findmg the young men and women fatigued and exhausted as one would suppose they would naturally be, there were about 50 of them engaged in prayer and singing with wonderful en- ergy. During the singing atk hymn, I observed a colored man evidently under the workings of the spirit, and | was right, for as soon as it was over he motioned the company to kneel, and then gave vent to the overflowing of his heart in this manner and in these words, as nearly as 1 could note them—Egad “Faith (does) work wonders.” O Lord we know dat dou make no distinction inde color ob dy servants, and dat dou wili listen to de prayer of de poor higger as ll as de white man. We tank dee dat here, at all events, colored folks can join their white bredern in giving praise to God gic Yes, on dis camp ground, allcan worship thee in heart! ‘This is the North.

Oh Lord, | am so full of religion dat 1 don’t know when to stop ; other broders must wait for der chance, for I can't stop.” Not intending to show partiality to any one tent, | took leave of the nigger and gave a glance at the Green street tent, which was jammed full of the faithful, but I acknowledge my inability to do jus- tice to the scene within. As it is, some may think that I atm burlesquing the Methodists, but [ assure them that the picture is far from being highly color- ed. There were about eightyin and around the tent, some kneeling on the straw, others hugeing brethren and sisters, and a young man standing in the middle exhorting. He wenton to say that he knew of several Roman Catholics who were con- verted since last Camp-meeting. Oh, Lord, let the fire of conversion keep burning, letitrun this meeting, this deestrict, this county, and all the adjacent coun- ties~-let it reach the great city ot New York. (Here one of the brothers in green specs who is attached to the Methodist Book Concern, in Mutbery street, showed a great deal of excitement, rolling his eyes towards Heaven, slapping his hands and crying out ina stentorian voice, “Glory! Glory to God! To God I say be the glory! Hillelula? Parsue them Lord. Make the pillars ot the Catholic Church tremble !” Here I left the Green street tent and went over to the one occupied by the Germans, and although what they said and sung was all Dutch to me I could see by their manner that they were as far in the spi- vit of the thing as any of their American brethren. We muster about 3000 on the ground now. Wepnespay, P. M. The encampment now numbers over 7000, and the cry is, still they come, while the scene increases in interest. The road to the camp is one continuous string of vehicles, filled with old women and lovely girls of the Methodist persuasion, on their way to get filled with the Holy Spirit. Sing Sing is ina state of turmoil, and the staid old fashioned citi- zens thereof ure nearly frightened out of their pro- priety. On the nin» acres of ground around the en- campment, were not less than one thousand vehi- cles this atternoon, varying in size and quality, from the wheelbarrow to the post chaise and tour horses ; in fact, everything on wheels was in demand, and eagerly sought after. When I arrived there, exer- cises Were going on’in the Sullivan street tent—a psulm was’being sung, giving praise to the Almighty, interspersed with the most fearful exclamations, such as “Come, give it the Lord, give him praise.” One young man got up to give his experience in re- ligion, and the way in which God thought proper to convert him. He said that his lungs were cracked with the amount of labor he had done, but he did not care for that, ashe would get a new pair in heaven. The doxology was then sung by about twenty, and “that horn” was blown again for after- noon service in public. They were commenced by Dr. Bangs reading a hymn from the 233d page of the hymn book, commencing— “Glory be to God on high, God, whose glory fills the sky,” &c. &e. Followed by a prayer, as follows :— Oh Lord God Almighty, let thy power be displayed in this camp in an unprecedented manner for the conver- sion of sinners. Oh letthem, in thy light, see life and sin no longer against the Lord. Let thy arrows be sharp to strike into their hearts. We thank thee most grate- x so much of thy presence as ncampment. Display thy pow- inners nigh unto thee. In your “ask and you shall receive— ed untojyou”—(here one ut there was no damage Stretch eut thy hand and pardon us—(“Do Lord, do,” amid great noise andfconfusion)—May we behold tlre Lamb of God—(Great noise and cries of ‘O Lord God, Hallelulah—Have mercy on us, Jesus, have mercy upon us, Holy Ghost have mercy upon us, &c. &e.”) Bless our dear bretlren, the preachers here mbled, who at- tend this encampment as God’s mouth-piece ! fire their hearts with in thy Holy cause, let thy words reach arp as a two-edged sword—(O Lord, Almighty, amen, amen.) We wait forjan answer Lord; Grent God that they may meet their breth- ren, here assembled, in that Heaven which thou hast promised to those who believe in thee—(Oh Lord God; Amen, amen, amen.) May the seed which thy servan’ are now sowing be watered with thy divine grace, and bring forth fruit{a thousand fold, and finally crown us all with glory, amen, ‘The Doctor then gave out ahymn from the 228th page :— fully and in all humility has been realized on ‘this of the benches broke kow: don Give joy, The Lord is King, Your Lord and King adore, &c. After the singing of this hymn, Dr. Bangs arose and spoke as follows :— | My Dear Brethren and Sisters, all here assembled, it has been a subject of discussion with me and my fellow laborers, whether we should continue to hold camp meetings at Sing Sing any more or not, or have them in another place. For my own part, 1 must say that 1 have always been partial to Sing Sing. God Almighty has generally manifested his presence here ver} much; we have always had very large numbers attend- ing our meetings here ; it is, in my opinion a most de- lightful spot. ‘Lhere is certainly some little expense at- tending our meetings here, but none but avaricious men can find fault with “it on that account. No benevolent man can Senn be displeased because he has to pay the small sum of ten dollars for accom: modation here. We are in a little difficulty, and are under the necessity of raising $150, and that this afternoon, and we hope you will relieve us by getting that small sum. Those of our brethren who have been appointed for the purpose, will take their hats and pro- ceed to the collection, and we will see whether we are to have camp meotingsat Sing Sing another year. Now, my brethren, you need not stop to count the money, but pass the hat along. Let us see how liberal you are.— The brethren on the stand here will now sing the first hymn, first page, but you must not be so charmed with the singing us to forgetthe money.” Ps The hyma was accordingly sung with great spirit, amid the tinkling of sixpeuces and coppers. After the collection was over the doctor again rose and Te- quested the brethren who were going to New York to take the boats Columbus and Alice, as they were expressly chartered by the comittee, and not to pa- tronize the opposition boats. He was also request ed tosay that there was a rush seat rocking chair and a pocket handkerehief lost,and the inde will please leave them at the tent of the committe he then hoped that God would manifest his presen to us,and made room tor Rey, Mr. Walker, from the Sonth, another of the preachers who delivered the following sermon :— My ethren—1 never was under so much embar- rassinent in my life before; this is the first time T ever appeared betore so tatge an assembly, but I will endea- ver todo my best, and hope that it will be effectual, not that I may gain any laurels, but that others may. I will choose ait ol fashioned text, viz :—1 chapter of Paul's Kpistle to the Romans, part of the 16th verse" For not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.” [shall speak on- ly a few minutes on this subject, and then go into other matters. Shame, my brethren, isa discouraging passion of the mind, enfeeblng the active powers of the soul; it was necessary for St. Paul so to preach because the gospel paid no claim to boasted human reason—it was for Paul to the gospel itself. ‘The gospel means “good news,” and it contains “ good news;” all the hoy of man’s Immortality.

An invitation was now given to all souls who | wished to get saved, to come near the stand, where- upon some fitty or more came and knelt upon straw, | whick had been put upou the ground for the pur- | pe *,and then ensued a scene which baffles my | dpento depict. f They commenced singing and praying over those people. Meanwhile the preacherg on the stand kept inviting more. ‘Come to Jesas;” “*Oh come, breth- ren!” ** Make room there ;” old women ;” * Come—come: Come old men and ome—brothers and sisters do come and be saved !” ‘here they come.” +O Brother B., that’s glorious.” ‘ Come along, don’t be ashamed.” (Here one of the preachers in his agony dropt his handkerchiet, and it was thrown up to hin, and he commeneed again elapping nis hands and vociferating, “‘ Come along!” “Sinners, come along by the thousand ;” “* Make room there tor the sinners: Clear the track, there they come.” “Oh, Glory! glory! this is great.’ * Press your way along”’—and a thousand 0! such exclamations, There was a hymn now sung, and some of the ministers could no longer stand pent up on the plat: form, but came down with bare heads and joined in the work of glory. “Oh, this is, indeed, great—O Lord ;” “Sinners, throw yourselves upon the mer- cy of God!” “ Come along, Tsay ;” “Come now and get filled with the Holy Ghost, Jesus will spire you!” “yes, he will—no mistake The par- oxysmatter a while avated, and one of the ministers comsnenced a hymn and I lett them to enjoy them- noticed.

At8 o’clock this morning, the horn blew for ex- ercise in the tents, and, as if by magica thousand throats were inan instant serceching and bawling, Glory! Hallelulah ! Glory !—To-day, the German Tent take the palm from the Poughkeepsie Young Mens’ Association. Such ascreammgand roaring, kicking of benckee, psalm singing, praying, and ex- horting, never was heard since the scene at Babel. At one and the same time, there would be half a dozen praying, and a dozen of women screech- ing and erying, and throwing themselves into every atutude. Iwent over to the Greene street tent, and the scene'was much the same. A big fat cartman from New York was praying up to his eyes in glory, and calling upon all stragglers to come in and re- ceive the Holy Ghost. ‘* Come in, you with the white hat, do brother, come inside, and take part in our holy prayers.” Jn another tent, sister Bird got up and related her experience—how she had been stripped of all ungodiiness, and how she had in con- sequence stripped the ribbons off her hat. At 10 o’clock, the regular public services com- menced by Dr. Bangs requesting those of the breth- ren who had brought along any of their unconverted friends, to pass them to the preachers’ platform, that they might feel religion and be received into the church. He then gave out a hymn from the twenty fitth page. Atter the hymn, Dr. Bangs again got up and said that it was extremely unpleasant for him to be under the necessity of again dunning the breth- ren for money—but that yesterday only the paltry sum of $50 wascollected. ‘* You cannot expect, my brethren, that God will manifest his presence here unless you are liberal. Now brother collectors take your hats and go around to-day. We don’t want any coppers, they are too black and heavy. Bills and fifty cent pieces.’, The collectors were then asked how much they got and they replied worse than yesterday. Dr. Bangs then said that unless the people were more hberal, there would be no more preaching. He was here interrupted by Elder Pearce, who requested permission that he might try his hand at the work ane see whether he couid have better success. Whereupon he proposed that fifty of the brethren should raise the sum ot $50 and hand their names in with their dollars, commencing with himself. Only eleven answered this appeal. Here Jet it be said to the eternal disgrace of the Methodists, who come here seven thousand strong, to worship in their own way, revelling in fanaticism and bigotry, rolling and kicking on the straw and cracking their voices crying Cilory and Haltelulah, and that they could not. raise the paltry sum of $150 to cover the expenses of the camp meeting, a debt which their own preach- ersare individually liable for, and at the same time want the world to believe that while they are earry- ing on their antics, they are under the worship of the spirit of the holy and ever living God. Out upon such humbug; it is really disgusting. 4 Finding it useless to continue any longer their ap- peals to the pockets of the people, a psalm was sung, and Dr. Fish, of New Hampshire, selected the 2bih Psalm, part of the 9h verse, as a text to preach upon. ¢ ‘ He commenced by saying that he was plain man, that he had chosen a plain text, and that he would preach a plain sermon. ‘True to his word he preached an exceedingly plain sermon in an exceed- ingly plain manner, and one that had not the remo- test connection or relation to the text. There wall ppobably be the same amount of hum- bug, folly and fanaticism exhibited this afternoon as was yesterday.

A correspon- dent ofthe Rhode Islander, signing himself a New York er, gives the following account of one day’s work of the New York Yacht Sqnadrou, on the voyage from the city of New York to Newport On Thursday, the 7th instant, the squadron weighed anchor, and left the lower harbor of New Haven at 6 o'clock A. M., to rendezvous at New London. The wind was directly ahead for nearly the whole of thedistance. ‘The yachts started nearly together—the Siren being the last to start, and La Coquille having the lead. ‘The yachts all stretched across to the Long Island shore, to be out of the influence of a strong flood tide, and thence making short tacks along shore to the east of Brown’s Hills, stretching across to the New London Light, and went up the river With sheets started. They anchored as follows, viz:=— Zi The Siren, at 4h. 16}min., P.M La Coquille, « a « Cygnet, " os Spray, ‘a i Minna, i si lanthe, - “ Mist, oh. “ Gimerack, o “ Newburg, 6h. 6 You will perceive by this that the Siren, although the | Jost to leave the harbor, was the first to anchor; and that La Coquille has proved herself to possess sailing qualities rarely surpassed by vessels of her size. ‘This day's Work Will aflord to the philosophizing navi- gator a fine field of specutation. The wind was dead Juring part ofthe day there was quite a little sea running, and the boats which are acknowledged to hat performed the best comparative work, were the Sin keel-boat of 72 tons, and La Coquille of 27 tons, carrying a centre-board.

Belles and Beavr— Balls and Divines—Lawyers and Doc- tors—Hints to Visitors—Scarcity of the Herald—Campa- nologians—Scandal—Other Theatricals, §c. I arrived here from Gotham on Friday morning last, thanks to the old worn out locomotive called ‘ Bro- ther Jonathan,” for amore rickety thing I never beheld, We had to stop four times between Schenectady and thi place to have it repaired. It is a disgrace to the Compa- ny to have euch a thing upon their road. After leaving the depot, the rush for the hotel was very great. Such tugging and swearing was shameful—the lean and the fet—the divine and the pickpocket—were jostled against each other, One maa falls, the rest rush on, regardless of his fate—and ladies were nearly thrown down by those calling themselves gentlemen. Having waited my time, I put my name upon the books fora room. I was informed, upon inquiry, thet they were all engaged, but that I might have one in a small house until the next day, when I should have one in the hotel; so shouldering my valise, 1 accompanied my and was ushered into a small room, though very heat. ‘The next day 1 moves into one 10 by 12, which Iam writing this, The belles are few number are Miss P-—1 of your city. She is surrounded by a bevy of beaux. ‘Then comes Miss R—ggs, of Balti- more, who, by the way, bids fair to carry back with her the heart of a little gentleman in black, who is always at her side; he is from your city, andason ofa rich South street merchant, a Mr. H——d. ‘Then there is the Miss F. M—-, of New’ York; she, too, has her admirers. not forget Miss O'D——I, of Baltimore, and Mis y,of Boston, nor Miss D——n, of the same place, nor Hiss D-—e, of New York. There are a number of young married ladies who are qnite pretty. The beaux are hardly worth mentioning ; the same as beaux gene- rally are, very silly, very vain, and very stupid, But there is one, a Mr. b. , Who is on the filty, who is a great laugher; he goes by siggling beau. ‘The ball of Friday night was not numerously attend- ed. Among the most conspicuous present were Mr. and Mrs. O. H—, of your city, General O’D——1, wife, and daughter, of Baltimore; Miss R-—n, of Boston. Among the divines, we have had Dr, Bethune, of Philadelphia. Dr. Potts, of New York, lms also been here, but his stay was short. thought he saw the shade of Dr. Wainwright following him. Professor Maflit, as he is styled, is the greatest gun here present; he puts all others in’ the shade; his bills are stuck up in every cor- ner in every bar room, and in every bowling diley, stating that Professor Maffit will lecture here to-night, will preach there to-morrow. He lectures and preaches for the Methodist Episcopal Church of this village. The har has quite a number of her sons here; they are, Hon. Ogden Hoffman, D. Lord, Jr., David Graham, Judge Ed- wards, and at the tail end a number of young sticks, who, by their consequential airs, and by their bundle of musty ol papers tied with red tape, you would suppose that the safe keeping of the nation depende uponthem. The M. D.’s come in for a share of notice; among the number are Dr. Muter, of Philedelphi Dr. McLean, of New York, Dr. Bedford, the fashionable Doctor of the Broad- way Hotel. 1 met him at the Springs yesterday morn- ing, taking his fourth glass of the water; he seemed as if he had been ordered to drink for his patients. Among the other visitors we have had Hon. k. Granger, of Ca- nandaigua, Walter Bowne, and Gen. James Tallmadge, of New York; Professor Olmstead, of Yale College, and Mr. Edward Curtis, and on looking upon the books, I see the names of General Cooper, lady, two servants, and four horses, all from the ancient city of Albany; quite a disp! he hotel is crowded ; many have to room out—the ining room can accommodate five hundred persons, yet such is the eagerness of the proprietors to make money, that for the last three days they have crowded six hun- dred down tothe table, The jam is truly awful, the cook- ing bad, the waiters too few—great complaints are made by the ladies because they are not waited upon, which for the first two days I found to be the fact. The waiters again are very noisy, and there appears to be no head waiter. The rooms are poorly furnished. In my room, (and I hear that it is the case in others,) there isa piece of amat which cover’s only two-thirds of the room, a ine table, asmall cupboard made of pine boards four feot high and 8} feet long, a small two shilling looking glass, the upper part covered with a miserable daub of a piature of a hozse, constitutes the greater, part of the lurniture of the room. Upon the whole it is one of the worst conducted hotels that Ihave ever been in. The price for board is $2 50 per day for any time under two days, $2 per day from two to five, and twelve dollars per week for any time over that. Gentlemen visiting the Springs should not bring more than one lady ; you will find it very dificult tc get along even with one. My ad- vice to those who intend to visit here to come late in the season when the great numbers who are now here | have left, If you come on you will have tobe pi in the fifth stories of the hotels, fare, damp sheets, and the like. 1 do not write this to complain, but to give as I intend- ed when f commenced, a true statement. ‘On passing Union Hall last evening, | was attracted to the windows by a crowd and by musi I found that the large room was devoted to dancing and waltzing from music from a piano. I left the dancer hard at work at the Virginia reel as it is called. The old boy in black must have laughed to find that he had got possession of the Union Hall so soon. For the last few days the demand forthe Herald has been very great; I could not procure one to-day for love or money ; many were like myself disappointed.

He declined, his partner not | having arrived. ‘Thurlow Weed arrived yesterday afew minutes before dinner ; he left soon after, no doubt think- ing that there were too many shavers already. ‘There are but very few of the “ upper ten thousand” here; the majority of the visitors have been quite com- mon; the shop-keepers, I hear, complain very bitterly of the meanness of those visiting the Springs, beating them down to the last penny The Bostonians are the most numerous at present ; the ladies are easily distinguished from those from other cities, by appearing in the drawing-room and at dinner with their scarfs and mantillas on. nny side of e name of the bei 4 with no comforts, bad Aveusr 13, 1845, Saratoga never was gayer than at the present moment.

Never | was astonishment more fearfully depicted on a: mans | terances—never were an audience more agreeably sur- | prisod und delighted, Mrs, Mowatt is no longer the Mrs. | Mowatt who carried the town by storm—she is no longer the retiring and diffident woman whose dramatic excel- lence and innate talent were then just budding into #x- istence—but she is now,an actress ! an actress imbued | with deep feeling aud possessing a chaste and elegant | style. It certainly seems almost impossible to be- lieve this, but assuredly it is true. Of course, she still possesses some faults, There is a redundan cy of action, a too hurried manner—but this per- | baps may be styled a‘ good fault,” for it is a much easier matter to soften down an excitable, nervous, impassioned temperament, than to infuse life and animation into cold unfeeling, stolid machines made like a woman. Mrs. Mowatt, however, owes much of her present excellence | to Mr. W. H. Crisp, one of the most gentlemanly and fin- ished actors of the day. They play together at the open- ing of the Park, on Monday evening next. Unfortunate. ly for Mr. Crisp, he came to this country asa “light co- | median,” in which department he was eminently suc- | cevsful—so successtul, indeed, that the public can hardly | believe that he can play tragedy. This is mere proju- | dice, which must soon’ wear off, however, for he pos- es talents ofa very high order.

Permit me to address you a few lines from the city of Mounds, if for no other purpose than to con- vince you that :ts inhabitants are not asleep, but wide awake. Yesterday an election took place for Delegates to the Convention, which is to meet next fall for the revision of our present constiiution. We have out grown the one under which we are now governed, and the abuses to which it gives rise, par- ticularly as respects representation, operatively re- quire the substitution of another more in accordance with the spirit of the ‘There were but two tickets in this county, the native and democrat.— The former elected five, the latter but one, This result has been produced by the great apathy of the democrats, the total indifference of the whigs, (proper) and the bullying conduct of the natives — We rave abroad had an insight into their schemes. Agreat many have joined them in the belief that they are not at all connected with their brethren of the East; but they act too much like them, and are treading too closely in their footsteps to be able to deceive the people much longer. At the last April election for city officers, they obtained a voice in the Board of Aldermen, and carried nine out of twelve members of the Board of Delegates. What has been the result ? Sessions of the City Council with- out end—long speeches without pileaning and much stir, but little done. There can be no doubt in the mind of any intelligent observer that their’s is the aristocratic party. They are determined to form a party all of whose influences shall be for the rich.— tt may for a short time succeed, but it is surely des- tined to a speedy and certain destruction. My own (po is that no change will be made respecting slavery. Tknow ithas been industriously circulated that one of the objects which induced the people to vote for a convention was, that some clause might be in- serted to procure the gradual abolition of our slavery system. At the present moment it is out of the question, now that we know that there is in our midst secret agents with no other avocation than to entice slaves from their masters, and regular lines tormed between thisand Canada to aid them in their escape ; all of our good feeling, if ever we has any, have been changed. There is a feeling of resent- ment pervading every class of the community at the officious intermedling of Abolitionists in matters that concern ourselves alone, which foretells of coming storms. If one of those agents should be caught, depend upon it he would be too charitably dealt with to permit him to see a lawyer orto de- pend upon the uncertainties of the law, but he would have justice meeted out to him without fear, favor, or partiality from that eccentric old gentleman, Judge Lynch. : : Our city is rapidly improving ; more than a thou- sand buildings will be put wp during the coming year. How can this be otherwise, when more than 2,000 persons annually come to the city to make it theirhome.

Varieties, : F By the annals of the Roman Catholic “Association for the Propagation of the Faith” for last May, the re- ceipts for the preceding year were 3,540,903 francs, Séc.; those of the year ending May, 1844, were 3,562,088f. tc. ; which shows a diminution of about $4,000. There was appropriated to the missions in Europe during the year ending last May, in round numbers, 000 francs—Asia 970,000, Africa 300,000, the South and South America 1,130,000. Th States, including Texas, was 771,164f. 72c.; equal to $144,209 50, which is about $4,600 less thanin 1843-4. Mr. Doggett, of this city, has published a supple- ment to the New York Directory, containing removals on account of the late fire, in which it is stated that the | total loss has been variously estimated at from $6,000,000 | to $8,000,000. The fire commenced at about 3 o’clock | A. M., and was not subdued till 11 o’clock A. M., a poe | of eight hours. Supposing, therefore, the total loss to j have heen $6,000,000, the a 0 loss per hour was 000 ; the loss per quarter of an hour was $187,000 ; the loss per minute $3,125 ; and the average loss per se- cond was $52 03}! Bank notes, of the denomination of one dollar, would not burn more rapidly in a common fire-place than was the property consumed by this con- flagration. A gang of coiners have been arrested in Western New York, who usually counterfeited American half dollars, which bear date 1838, and are of the old stamp — ‘As the die was changed that’ year, there is no genuine half dollars of that date with the old stamp, and t fact, it is said, will constitute a guard of defence. As no ex- isting United States coin was imitated no offence was committed. The mysteries of law are great, but it seems incredible that sucha quibble would afford a loop-hole of retreat. Samuel B. Warner, jr., the Philadelphia abscond- ing note-broker, has not ‘been ariested. He has left the city with $40,000 at least, and will never, his friends suifer himself to be brought back for the sum ef $1000, the amount of the rev rd offered—imtimating that he mto be permitted to “go ahead.” The Hon.
