SNe Srna, August 16, 1872, This venerable camp ground is to-day almost -@eserted of the three or four thousand persons who were here yesterday, shouting and praying and singing and enjoying themselves in more or less of n apostolic fashion, #hero is not to-day half a hundred besides thdse who have the charge of the grounds, and who must necessarily stay over for a day or two. Before Saturday night the place will be utterly deserted'amd be given over to the katy- -did, the squirrels and the rats, and perhaps other vermin; and before the hosts of Zion pitch their tents there again the camp ground is to be con- verted from a scene of barrenness to one of beauty. The grounds are too small to dispose of in lots for cottage purposes (being, only ten acres), but they are not too small to make the encampment much more comfortable for visitors than it now ig. And under the pressure of ‘competition which threatens to strip this patri- archal camp of all ita giory new life is'to be infused ~into it. Lodging houses are to be erected, after the style of Sea Cliff Grove, and dining halls on the same plan are talked of, though they will hardly be put up before the next annual encampment. THE LODGING TENTS are anworthy of the fame and reputation of ‘the Sing Sing Camp Meeting Association. There is eoarcely one of them waterproof, and during a sea. fon like that just closed, when we have had three or four rain storms of such flerceness as to cut gullies through the hard and well-beaten ground and of éight or tem hours’ continuance; it, becomes a matter of some importance to have a dry place to sleep-and to eat in.

But we are promised improvements in these and in other respects, if not by next August eertainly by the year following.

The Doctor pressed the IMMEDIATE ACCEPTANCE OF SALVATION upon him; but, like thousands of others, the Colonel was not ready.

Rev. Mr. Lawrence preached in the evening on the abiding priesthood of Ohrist, because of which He is able to save to the utter. most them that come unto God by Him; and he earnestly invited ¢he people to believe and be saved. Between the sermons prayer mectings were held at the preachers’ stand, at which in the afternoon ten conversions were reported, besides others in oe several tents.

He led off with a statement that he had no doubt that Sunday’s iove-feast meeting was as near the true conception of Ae apostolic meeting on the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Ghost was oured out upon the people, as anything could be. le cautioned them, however, against undue excite- ment and eccentricities of manner. His advice was unheeded by CAMP-MEETING OHARACTER | known as “Uncle John Simpson,” who made a Pct of eae from his seat to the preachers’ after exhausting himself then dnished stand, an his circus operation back again to his seat. Dr. Ferris very properly and promptly rebuked such @ nonsensical exhibition, which would most certainly be attributed to religion rather tnan to tomfoolery, to which it belongs. ‘The man is about sixty years of age, and this specimen of ‘sical acting he credits to the account of sanctification. If the doctrine had no better 8) ens to offer than this it might go begging a long time before sentient beings would seck it and make fools of themselves. A colored aunty, also well stricken in years, amused herself and tho young Beople by practising the same antics. But er Zeal Was tempered with discretion and she did not try athletic feats during the public services. Another colored auntie, as black as the smokestack of a rebel TS got the “glory” in her soul so mightily that while retaining her seat she would throw her body into all sorts of contorted shapes and give a shout of “glory” or “hallelujah,” so as to give the vast econgrces ion gome indication of the cause of her antics, These, however, were the excep- tions and not the rule.

That intermission was to allow the camper to “march around Jerusalem,” as they Prityte it, which means that, e minis. ters leading, all the People make the circuit of circle between the it row of tents and the preachers’ stand and then fall to shaking hands with each other. It was originally designed to mean a great deal, but it is now a meaningless formality which tickles the fancy of the young and to which the old foiks cling because of its associa- tions and its antiquity. The “covenant hymn’’ was sung and several others, closing with the doxology. PRAISE-MEETING POETRY.

On ’Change to-day four was heavy and the steady. The cotton market was quiet, with a firm undertone, In the Wall street markets the chief incidents of the day were a SPASM IN MONEY consequent upon @ manipulation of the market in connection with the speculation in the Stock Ex- change and a rally in gold to 11534, with moderate firmness toward the close at 115%. The demand for money and the dealings therein were of the usual stereotyped character until after two o'clock, when some excited parties, who were either rashly hasty or concerned in a “laundry” operation, bid the rate up from 244 @ 8 per cent until some borrowers, who were afraid they would not get their balances atall, paid as high as six per cent rather than take the chances of waiting, as was natural in so sudden an alteration of the rate. A REACTION set in almost immediately, and toward the hour of three o'clock the rate went off to 23 per cent again, but closed, without any definite quotation, be- so short-lived and accounts being so promptly made up that there was in reality no tangible market at the usual hour for the closing of the banks. The incident served to divide attention with the rain storm as @ topic of discussion, and THE EXPLANATION was generally conceded to lie in the machinations of the gold pool, who are credited with being “short” of stocks to an extent which renders them occasionally desperate in their efforts to sway thé market. From the Gold Room came a story that the Montreal banks had ordered home a lot of goid now loaned out in this city, the domestic inquiry for fonds being suddenly acceler- ated by the initiation of the policy of CONTRACTION fostered by recent legislation of the Dominion Par- Uament. Be this as it may, and we shall learn more about it in aday or two by the workings of the gold market, it failed to alarm the money market, the cash which Montreal could withdraw from us being a mere trife as compared with the millions on deposit here from every quarter of the United. States. A better reason could have been manufac- tured out of the circular of the COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY, which was given at length in our Washington tele- grams this morning, and caused no little uneast- ness among some of the banking officials of the city, who, in working on a slight reserve, have fre- quently had to depend upon the device of counting as specte checks for gold drawn upon other banks, The telegram, through a want of perspicuity, re- sulting from the doubtless incorrect posi- tion of @ punctuation mark, makes it only Probable that these checks cgnnot _ ve counted as specie in the usual statements made up as required by law, and the official copy ig awaited in order to determine the point. Mean- time it is most probable that Mr. Knox means to require the banks to omit this counting of CHECKS AS SPECIE and limit the composition of the specie item to coin, bars and Treasury gold notes; a modification | of the manner and matter of the bank statements | to which no person can reasonably object, and which might be extended to the informal weekly averages reported by the banks of our local Clearing House | is doing is on that basis, FOREIGN*EXCMANGE UNSETTLED. The foreign exchanges were unsettled, and on the whole weak and lower. The early dealings were at a decline of 3g per cont on previous rates, cession in view of a greater plenty of | bankers’ bills made against some recent large ship- ments of United States sixes of 1881. The offerings | being absorbed on the basis of 108% and 10934, the nominal figures to which the leading houses low ered their rates, and the weekly return of . THE IMPORTS OF DRY GOODS reaching the very heavy amount of $6,000,000 (in- | warehoused), the drawers suddenly changed their views of the market and restored quotations | tothe opening rates. The Custom House return shows the amount of goods entered at the port during the past week to have been $5,422,036, and the amount marketed $6,000,850, These several facts readily explain the facility with which the pool effected an ADVANCE IN GOLD FROM 115 TO 115%, their operations being helped by a slight reaction in the 62's, which came an eighth lower as com- Pared with yesterday, although this influence was more moral than real, a8 other issues were firm, | bat with less influence, owing to the leadership | assumed by the '62’s in the lists of quotations by the | cable. The clique Were astonished more than any- | body else by the lucky turn of events, and quietly congratulated each other over the sudden reinforce- ment thus given their side of the gold speculation, | the “bull! element of which was gradually losing | sympathy and partisans in view of the low rates of foreign exchange. Just at this juncture, too, came areport, and it is as true as such things usually are in the street, that DANIEL DREW had bought three miliions from 115 apward, basing his operation on an carly knowledge of the Custom week, At least, a broker frequenting his office and heretofore credited with being his business man bought gold'to that extent, and the whole amount | co¢¢on Dull and Weak; Receipts at the is set down to Mr. Drew, although it just as likely wel in connection with Messrs, LIVELIER DOINGS IN THE STREET | Suan soa “soua” at ace bong veronica a8 harmonious in their views of the market.
