The camp meeting in Fairfax is well attended
there being over one hundred tents ON the
ground. A large number of ministers are pres
emit and among them some of the ablest in the
Baltimore Conference. Yesterday morning the
Rev. W. Is. Edwards, of the Wesley chapel
station, preached most eloquent and impress
siye sermon. His text was Ephesians, LIST chap
ter and 18th verse: g In whom We also trusted,
after that We heard the word of truth--the Cos
pei Of your salvation; in whom, also, after that
ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy spirit
of promise" The discourse produced a power
full effect upon the entire congregation. The
Rev. Mr.. Gorsuch, from your city, preached at
three o'clock, p. m. The best order prevails,
and all present appear to be harmoniously uni
ted in carrying out the purpose for which they
have met. more beautiful spot could not be
found for camp meeting; superabundance
Of shade, and plenty of excellent water
The M. E. Church, South, will hold one at the
Union meeting house, Fairfax county, to COM
mence on Friday, I'D Of August.
Retrocession is less talked of now than it
was some weeks ago, owing, probably, to the
absence of many Of our citizens at the different
watering places and camp-meetings.
There is now lying at one of our canal
wharfs beautiful canal packet boat, called
the Delaware, owned, 1 understand, by Admiral
Reside and intended to run between George
town and Harper's Ferry 1t was built in Phila-
delphia
Owing to some cause unknown here there
has been no arrival by canal from beyond Will
Transport since the break near that place.
There are several improvements going on in
our town at this time. Many houses, both
stores and dwellings, which have for some time
presented rather a rusty appearance, are being
renovated, and brushed up both inside and out.
] understand, this morning, that there is
good prospect of the Union Hotel being taken
by gentleman who is well qualified in every
particular to make it very desirable stopping
place for persons visiting the District.
