Your fair correspondent, Mollie,' gave
very fattering account of the camp-meetins
held near Owensville, but she seemed to la
Dor under mistake in reference to it, which
/ think ought to be corrected. She repre-
scented it as union camp-meeting, where
as it wac conducted entirely by the Rev. A.
Turner, of the Methodist Church. But,
while it was thus under the direction of the
Methodist Church, there was, as there al
ways should be, perfect union of feeling
and effort Indeed, it is characteristic of
this part of the State that when one demon
inatiOn takes the lead in any religious en-
terprise, other denominations are ready to
cooperate, which, think, is true Christian
union, and more praiseworthy than any 9TH
er kind Of union. OBSERVER.
