(From the New York Times of August Ti)
The large supplies of cotton from the South,
which were foe some time upend in vrin, ere at lest
arriving in full mouton at this part The receipts in this
market alone, during she last sit weeks, have been over
100,000 balas(lo3,6lB), or an average of more than 17,000
bales a week. Lest week we had close upon AOOO bales
(19,404).
According to the odvioes from the seaboard and river
cities, and from the cotton-growing region of the South,
the volume flowing hitherward bids fair to increan largely
during the coming aututna months. At Now Orisons, on
the 11th inst., there were 81,588 bales on baud, with large
daily reoripts, and the stook at Mobile is also considerable,
though it is kept down by the deficiency of inland water
trainman to fetch it from the interior. This, however,
was being remedied by the onstrunin of a tieet of IVA
flat hmls to be employed expressly in this work.
It only that pal of the staple lyleg most convenient
to the ecebosrd cities which has thus for been brought brio
them. The break in the South Carolina Railroad, between
Orsapbergh and Columbia, has prevented the upload
Dolton in that state from reaching Charleston. The damage
done to the Georgia Cenral Railroad, and to the Savannah
and Galt Hamad, by Sherman, has heretofore cut off the
greater part of the c ettoa.growing region of G oorgia
from Savanath ; but we suppose thst by this time both
of than Liao@ are in ramming order. A letter from Jario
sonville in a city contemporary yesterday,
said that fa
Florida bat little of the cotton crop had bees brimebt is.
except seek as was stored near the railroad, and added thin
it was estimated them that there wore 50,000 bales in the
Sista st the close of the war. The antes of
bans has ben detained in the up.aoastry by the cause we
have already mentioned.Probablythe Soudan Stuns
which bale had the largest proportios of its stock brought to
market is Mimeseippi ; but that in the western pule of the
State is an yet almost untouched. Western Louisiana and
Southern Arkansas (as the receipts at New Orleans show)
have also forwarded stoadaatly.
Of coarse much of this cotton is the Gulf States we have
named, &Detain in the state of TOL', will not be baught to
this market, bat will be purchased an European account,
and nipped there direct.
Thera has as much action arrived at New Ye*, New
Orleans, and the other cities of the Southern seaboard,
within the past three months, as tome of the speculators
estimated to exist within the entire South, in May last.
And yet the greater part of the eriton-growing reifies has
not been reached.
Ws rejoice at the large receipts, present and proemotive,
of this imports/it staple. It has already set the spinning
mina of New Reiland into activity, and has literally given
employment to tens of thounds of men and women. It
will cheapen the prices of goods, and supply us with the
borne-made article. Its lecesaslag commercial and bred.
nem activity. It is being carried to England in the steam
ships and sailing ships that leave our port doily, and will
presently tell in our behalf, is taming the balance of trade
in our favour, in regulating exchange', and in adding to
the value of oar currency and decreasing the price of gold ;
and by these and other means will magnify the prosperity
of the nation.

A MONSTER "CAMP MEETING" IN AMERICA.

A monster onmp-meeting commenced at Sing
Sing, on the 2lat nit. " A great MID, 2201712.* says •
correspondent of a New York paper, "came up two or three
works shrift and have had a grand pimnicing time in the
woods, rojoying thermion's in good style, and steeping
as comfortably under their canvas canopy as though they
were in their private residences in the great metro-
polis. The time of camp merlin is always looked
-
for-
ward to by the followers of Wesley, great tim
'refreshing,' as it is called. 'ben the several congregations
two out cn manse and repair to the tested field. The
young especially enjoy this swine, as there are ample
opportunities offered for flirting, con is sod love-makieg
generally, which are employed togood advantage is that
inc. Many a flirtation has been carried on, matches have
been made and unmade, and young hearm have beat in
unison with those they loved, while at twilight many
a soft eye may be seen looking love to eyes which speak
again. The largest meeting of this nature is expectd
here this season, as the war has come to an end, and people
are more at liberty to bike a stroll into the country than
they have been heretofore. The boat which arrived here
this morning brought several hundreds to the ground,
moot them a number of clergymen, and each train brings
a fresh arrival. If they cautious to come in at the present
rata, by the end of the week we shall have twenty
thousand. The campiog-ground is laid out ia the form
of streets and avenues, with the storming tents facing on
a large square, while the bearding tents are situated
in the rear. In the centre of the square axe placed
seats enough to accommodate about 10,060 people. On
one side of this square is placed the preachers' dead ; it is
also used as • ppulp!,i and 4 capable of seatiag about 20
persons. From this sacred desk the orator of the day
generally holds forth, and ofttimes produces a luting eon.
victims on the minds of the careless rod indifferent. Ser-
vices are held almost every boar during the day. There is
preaching three times, while the hours intervening are
devoted to prayer meeting, which are largely attended,
especially when they ere very noisy, which is often the
case, for free vent is given to the feelings by the devotees.
"The praying band' is also on the ground. They DOW
deleted the services altogether, yesterday, under the leader-
ship of the Halstead Bros. Their shouts of ' halleluj•h
and ' amen' resounded many times through the grove, and
were audible for long distroce. In the afterooes several
onversioas wen ansoasoed to have taken place. There
was one female who jumped up in the midst of the meeting,
and shouted for about half an hour, causing all who were
- on the ground to repair to the spot to inquire what ease the
& matter. On approaching her we found she was a women
about 40, of a rather dark complexioe, and a muscular frame.
1 as tough es whit-leather. She was abrading and hallooiog
at as awful rate, and going through various gesticolatioes.
t She had to be held for a considerable length of time by two
g leee and a woman, for fear she would dash herself co tbe
• ground, for there was npparent daoger of her doing ao. On
2 inquiring the cause of her making so much noise, we were
2 informed by some bystanders, who seemed to understood
something of physiology, that she was 'billow ;' another
mid her nervous system was out of order ; but turning to a
2 pious old matron of 60, she informed us is a very quiet way
2 that the woman had jutconverted.' Not kwing
1 which to believe, we concluded that the warn having ano
little
2 ▪ outdoor exercise at her own expense.
" A great many people supporte that it is a rather hard
way of living to lie down at night with no other shelter
but a canvas covering overhead ; but it is quite different.
2 To enjoy camp-meeting as a person should, there are several
• things to be observed. It has bees conceded by those who
ninny u the habit of attending year after year, that the ally
to enjoy it Is to remain all the week, and go provided
with thick heavy clothing, so that in case a raft-storm
should come, the clothes need ore be spoiled. Towards
morning the air biomes very cold, and a sufficieecy of bed.
clothing is also wroeseary. Those who attend camp-meet-
ings g Ily become early risers for the time being.
Nearly all are up at 5 o'clock in the morning. The young
lady who lays abed till 10 o'clock in the city, is up and
aronod the ground at 6. Breakfast is taken at 7 ; then the
devotioual exercises commence, first with a prayer-meeting,
which lasts till 10.30.
The smartest preachers in the methodist denomination
are generolly selected to preach during the weak, as no dull,
linters man will' take,' and that fact the committee well
know. At 10 &m. the first sermon is preached. If the
preacher is of the ' sensation' clan be will have a large and
attentive audience ; but if he in so unfortunate as to be un-
popular, the young folks generally wend their way to the
woods to enjoy a promenade, while the old folks remain
behind for the sake of showing respect to the speaker.
Daring the delivery of the discourse, the noise of the horses
and waggons othstently arriving from all parts of the
country generally causes as interruption or turning of the
eyes in the direction of the real, each the anxiously ex-
pealing the arrival of some well.known friend.
" A great deal of excitement was ox•thrised on Saturday
afternoon by the announcement that the Bey. J. H. Inskip
was nearly choked. It seems that the reverend gentleman,
while at dinner, wee eating a peach, the pit of which was
inclined to take root in the good brother's stomach, but un-
fortunately it lodged is his throat for half an hour, and
could not be got either no or down. Huadreds gathered
around the tent, expecting every moment that he would be
choked to death. His face was at this time quite bleak
his breathing had almost ceased, and every exertion was
made to remove the pit from the throat, but, after
oxisidersbn labour it made its way downward, and to
the great joy of those who were present, the brother
was enabled to oemmunic de his thoughts once more,
and was praying and shouting yesterday sad to-day as loud
as ever boom After the pit went down, • hymn of praise
was sung, and an old lady some distaode sway cried out
at
the top of her voice, ' Blest God, I know its down, for they
are singing; Another broths' shortly afterward came up
expremed his joy to Rev. Mr. leskip, when he farad he bad
recovered, and alto continued the conversation by :tit
' Brother Inaldp, I had the pleasure of heads( you
ewe where I same from, in the land of potatoes sod sham-
rocks,' The rev. gentleman was quite delighted io seeing
oat whom he hat been instrumental is saving from ruin,
and they both altered into quite a friendly etheersatith,
which lasted 00212 time."
