NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER l5 1857

in case Of the cradles sticking fast on them
through any unforeseen contretps For this purpose
four large lighters are moored in the tideway about
one hundred yards from the shore, which are fitted
up with the crabs and sheaves used by Mr.. Brunei
in the recent raising OF the viaduct over the lamar
at baltash, and in building the celebrated railway
bridge at Chepstow. Each Of these crabs worked
with windlass gives strain of sixty tons and this
force OF 240 TONS il necessary at ALL ia to be applied
amidships Two lighters will also be moored at the
stem OF the ship and two at the stern. The chains
passing from the ship to these latter will return
again on shore, az to be worked with double
purchase Small stationary engines of twenty horse
power will be used to haul in these chains, 10 as to
make the whole force available to pull the vessel
on upwards OF six hundred tons. The process OF
Knocking away the shores from under her has pro-
ceeded rather extensively, and will be entirely
completed on Saturday, when the vessel will rest
only on the two cradles fore and aft Before the last
OF these, however are removed, care will be taken
that the massive check tackle to hold back the ship
is properly hauled taut for when the vessel il left
on the cradles and the cradles on the soping ways,
the launch might take place at any moment in the
most abrupt and unexpected manner. The way in
which the supporting shores and struts have to be
removed is as peculiar Us all else connected with the
monster. 1t is nearly four years since these beams
were put to support the Sides since which the iron
shell has grown into the dimensions of q city, and
pressed its supporters firmly to the earth that it
was found almost impossible to remove them. The
difhculty has been overcome by employing hydraulic
jacks, OF sixty tons power by applying which to the
beam or strut the earth in which it rested com
pressed by Immense force till it sank some two or
three inches, when the beam was looscned and quiet
ly withdrawn.

The Boonsboro' Camp Error Corrected.

Mr.. EDITOR Your paper of August 26th,
contains an erroneous paragraph concerning a
Camp Meeting for Greensboro Circuit, and
which was held at Boonsboro; and in your issue
of Sept. Cd, is " correction" Both, the arti-
Gle and the correction are mistakes. The cir
cumstances are as follows: On the morning OF
the last day of the meeting, at an early hour.
the eolored people, according TO their usual
custom on this, and ssIne other circuits in Mary
land and Virginia, marched round the ground
three times successfully, without interruption,
singing as they passed. On their fourth and
last round, they were met by the "ex-dgnita-
nv of the County, and commanded to retreat.
They did SO quietly. This conduct caused
some dissatisfaction, as the tent.boldors gener-
oily had no objection to their servants enjoying
themselves in that way. But Rev. Mr.. Nc.
Combs was not with the procession at any
ilme, nor was he at any time assaulted. The
procession was under the superntendence OF
white men, most of whom were members of the
Board Of Managers for the Camp Meeting, and
natives OF the State of Maryland. Late in the
morning, after the service of the white people
had closed, and when they were striking their
tents, the colOred people, thinking the ground
was clear, started again, but they were met and
turned back as before, and by the same indiyid-
ual. In this last procession. there were nc
white people. But it was thought, that as the
.ex.dignitary" was not member of the Board
of Managers, it would have been prudent snt
geutlemanly tor him TO have mentioned bis OBJ
lection to some one Of the managers or preach
ers. This conviction was strengthened by the
fact that he was not even member ct th'
church. Nevertheless, this matter has beer
greatly exaggerated by correspondents of th'
press. There was no mob, but the opposition
proceeded from one man, who was alone IN hi
wsrk. How many friends he had know not
There was, of course, free expression Of opin
