GLOUCESTER va.
August 20th, 1859.
The Methodists have recently hald camp
meeting in Matthews county, which proved
very satisfactory TO the ministers and tent
holders A similar meeting was concluded on
Yesterday at Salem, in this county, success
full in its results, but not equal TO the one In
Matthews, though the perpetrators Wef-
larger. A camp meeting was held last ear
at the same place, (Saem) at which there
were more than hundred converts lhis
year the number was less than Il hundred.
Your correspondent, in giving an account
Of tie wbirlwind here, some weeks ago, did
not describe II rs being so violent as IT really
was The ground was torn up, IN some
places, to u depth OF two feet. a pair OF IRON
wedges, which happened to be in one OF the
houses blown away, were carried at least
hundred Yards new ox-cart was taken up,
and fell in about Il hundred and fifty yards,
except one wheel, which was found two or
three hundred yards further, literally broken
to pieces, as nothing was left together, except
the knaye and three spokes.
The crops of wheat, in this county and
Matthew's have all been threshed. The yield
will certainly not be more than half the ave-
rage crop. The corn crop does not promise TO
be much, if any, better; under any clrcum-
stances, it cannot be anything Ikea fair crop.
