TIE CAMDEN CAMP.-From accounts,
the Camp to commence next week, at Camden,
Del, will be a large gathering. We under
stand that many persons wilgo from here, the
Phia., vii. and Bal. r. r. Company having
given notice that excursion tickets, for 81 80
the round trip will be issued. The place,
preparations, &C., are thus spoken Of by the
Wilmington Commonwealth.
g There are about fifteen acres Of land mot
sufficiently to accommodate the enormous
multitude which conycncs at different times.
No prcttier spot could be found. The trees
are generally massive oaks with large branches
which give ample shade. At the base Of the
hill is Il fine branch or stream which affords
sufficient water for the numerous animals as
we'll as for other purposes. There are four
springs Of water which cannot be cXccllcd,
and which have produced copious supply
We are informed that there will be six large
tents from the several churches of Phlada.,
three from W ilmngton, ono from st. Georges;
two from Smyrna; one from Dover,
two from Camden, and one from Mag.
nolia. Thorc are LOG private tents
The management devovcs upon Rev. Mr..
Fannery, presiding preacher, assisted by
Rev. d. Cook, and Rev. Mr.. Edwards. A
different arrangement has been effected this
year by having the bread and feed tents under
the charge of the managerS--no huclStering
of any kind will be allowed and no boarding
tents will be permitted unless they represent
some of the various churches. A very i'm
portant dcsideratum is the sprinkling Of the
ground every norningto avoid the annoyance
Of dust.
