Not intending to show partiality TO any one tent,
took leave OF the niger and gave glance at the
| Green street tent, which was jammed full OF the
faithful, but acknowledge my inability TO do JUS
tlce 10 the scene within. AS it Is, may think
that am burlesqulng the Atethodlsts, but assure
them that the picture Is far from being highly color
cd There about eighty IN and around the
tent some kneeling on the straw, others hugglng
brethren and sisters, and young man standing IN
the middle exhorting. lie went on to say that he
knew of several Roman Catholics who were
verted since last Camp-meeting. Oh, Lord, let the
fire OF conversion keep burning letltrun this meetng

one OF the brothers III green specs who s attached
the Methodist Book Concern, in Mulberry street,
showed great deal of excitement rolling his eyes
towards Heaven, sapping his hands and crying out
in stentorian voice, Glory! Glory TO God To
God say be the glory Hilleulah! Pursue them
Lord Make the pillars OF the Catholic Church

Here 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 could
see by their manner that they far IN the srl-
lit of the thing any of their American brethren.
We muster about cocoon the ground now.
WEDNESDAY, p. M.
The encampment now numbers over 1000, and the
cry Is s,i! they come, while the scene increases in
interest. The road to the camp is continuous
string Of vehicles, filled with old women and lovely
girls of the Methodist persuasion, their way to
get filled with the Holy Spirit. Sing Sing is in a
state of turmoil, and the stad old fashioned citi-
thereof are nearly frightened out Of their pro-
priety. On the nine acres of ground around the en-
canpment were not less than one thousand vehi
cles this afternoon, varying size and quality, from
the wheebarrow TO the post chaise and four horses
in fact, everything wheels was in demand, and
eagerly sought after. When arrived there, exer-
cises were going on' in the Sullivan street tent-a
psalm wasbelng sung, giving praise to the Almighty,
lnterspersed with the most fearful excamations,
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 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, as he would get new pair IN
twenty, and shat horn was blown again for after
noon service In public. They were commenced by
DIR. Bangs reading hymn from the 233d page of the
hymn book, commencing
"Glory be to God on high
God, whose glory fills tdc sky &C. &c.
| Followed by prayer, as follows -
Oh Lord God Almighty let thy power be displayed in
this camp in manner for the

strike into their hearts. We thank most CRATE
fully and in all humility for much of thy presence
has been realized this cncampment Display thy pow
er, Lord, and bring sinners nigh unto thee In your
knock and the door shall be opened untoy you"-here
of the benches broke kown but there was damage

Haileulah-liave mercy us Jesus, have mercy upon
us, Holy Ghost have mercy upon US, &cD Bless
dear bretl,ren the preachers here assembled who at
tend this encampment as Gods mouthpiece fire their
with zeal in thy Holy cause, let thy words reach
, their hearts sharp as two.edged sword-(o Lord,
Lord Grant God that they may meet their broth
rem, here assembled in that Heaven which thou hast
Amen, amen amen.) May the seed which thy servants
arc now sowing be watcred with thy divine grace, and
bring forth futa thousand lod and finally crown us all
with glory, amen
The Doctor then gave out hymn from the 22sth
page:-
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 subject of discussion and my fellow
laborers, whether we should continue to hold camp
meetings at Sing sing any more not have them in
ovaXs been pas to SING Sing God ia
has generally manifested his presence here very
much we have always had very large numbers attend
lug meetings here 1t is, in my opinion most de-
lighul spot There certainly some little expense at
tending meetings here but none but avaricious
G,,l txp;th that NOho
/, man can certainly be dispeased because he has
to pay the small sum Of ten dollars for accom-.
under the necessity Of raising $780, and that this
afternoon, and 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 will whether
my brethren you need not stop count the money but
pass the hat along. Let MS see how liberal you are
hymn, first page but you must not be charmed with
, the singing as TO forget the money"
. The hymn accordingly sung with great SPIRIT
amid the tinlllng OF slxpences and coppcrs. After
the collection over the doctor again rose and re-
quested the brethren who were going to New \ ork
to take the boats Columbus and Alice, as they were
expressly chartered by the comlttee, and not TO pa
tronlze the opposition boats. lie was also request
ed to say that there was rush seat rocking char
, and pocket handkerchief lost, and the finders
will please leave them at the tent of the committees
he then hoped that God would manifest his presence
to us, and made room tor Rev. MIR. Walker, from
the South, another of the preachers who delivered
. the following sermon-
My dear bretbren-l never under much embar
rassmcnt IN my life before this is the first time ever
appeared before 80 large assembly, but will endca
yer TO do my best, and hope that IL will be cfccual not
that may gain any laurcls, but that others may will
choose old fashioned text viz - chapter of faus
Epstle TO the Romans, pant Of the 10th verse For am
not ashamed Of the Gospel of Christi shall speak
ly few minutes this subject and thcn go into other
matters. Shame my brethren, is dscousging passion
OF the mind eneeblng the active pcwcrs of the soul
twas necessary for ST Paul to preach because the
gospel paid claim to boasted human reason-i! was
for Paul to preach the gospel itself The gospel means
good news, and contains good news; all the hopes
OF mans immortality. No where is such Llcssed doc.

breaches glory to God on high, and earth peace and
good will q Ii has been GOOD
