CAMP MEETING NEWS.

SHREWSBURY CAMP MEETING, Aug. %, 1859.
The attendance at the camp this morning was not
so large as on Sunday, many having returned home
There was quite number on the ~ O'Clock train
this morning. This train was DELAYED two hours
on the road on account of an accident near Free
lands, there having been collision between two
burthen trains, the engine being battered but no
one hurt During the morning there were PRAYER
and experience meetings in the various station
tents, which were very interesting. There was
also another marriage, occasioning much merri-
ment, and by many good natured fellows thought
fine idea and an economical plan, as no marriage
license is charged in Pennsylvania. The old folks
thought it had better be done at home As one of
the old sisters said, "Well, / declare | do think
ct people can't do tell they get home they better
bring their mammas and papas along, and have
some to that they are properly keered fur
There have been several on the ground and pros
poets for more; one at Hartford Avenue Tent
At lO@ o'clock there was preaching at the stand,
and at ~ O'Clock children's meeting was held
which was largely attended and much in
terest was manifested In the afternoon
it rained ard all resorted to their tents and had
preaching. Several ministers of other denomna-
tions were present and spoke in the meeting
Some OF the tents were well protected from the
rain, being of boards, and others double rooted
with an extra canopy. At 81 o'clock, P. NJ, the
o'clock train arrived, which consisted of three
passenger cars not very well filed This evening
there will De preaching in the tents. The ground
is very muddy and disagreeable. Many left this
evening for York, Pa. F. S.

From the Nashville Tenn. Banner, of dug. 1911
PRESENTATION OF GEN. JACKSON'S GOLD
SNUFF BOX.
Public notice having been given, large number
OF our citizens assembled at the City Hall yeser-
day morning to witness the interesting ceremony
OF the presentation Of the splendid gold snuff
box, left by Gen. Jackson in his will, to be inner
tied by that citizen of New York city, who should
most distinguish himself by his galantry in defence
OF his country in the first war in which this coun-
try might be engaged. As we have heretofore an
nounced, the relic has been formally awarded to
Gen. Ward 3. Burnett, who distinguished himself
as Colonel OF the First Regiment of New York vol
unteers, and it had been agreed, Gen. B. not being
able to be present. that the presentation should be
made to Gen. Pillow, as the representative of COL
jackson.
Mayor McGayock was called to the chair and H.
X. Walker and j. o. Griffith were requested to act
as secretaries.
The Mayor, upon assuming the chair, said:
Gentlemen: Y GU assembled to witness a most
interesting ceremony. In the absence of parade or
display, you come to carry out the last wishes of
Iennessees greatest son. In any other country
but the United States, such an occasion would be
attended with all the pomp and circumstance of
regal splendor, but in this land of freedom and sim
phclty, we do such things in a manner peculiar to
ourselves, and in keeping with the character OF our
institutions As a matter of history, the present
occasion IS full of interest, and brings to the mind
OF every American, and more especially every Ten
nesseean, the memory and heroic life of the one
who stands second to none save the immortal
Washington. This magnificent gold snuff-box was
presented to Gen. Jackson by the authorities of the
city of New York, as token of their high appre-
citation of his brilliant military services-and now
we return it, according to his last wishes, to a
citizen of New York, (Gen. Burnett,) to whom has
been awarded the honor of having merited the in
valuable bequest, by his services in the late war
with Mexico. In the absence of Col. Andrew.
jackson, the box will be presented by Dr. John NJ
Lawrence, and received by Gen. Gideon j. Pillow,
for Gen. Burnett, who is at this time officially en-
poyed in the territory of Kansas.
A letter was read from General Burnett, dated
Nebraska City, Aug. Sth, accounting for his una
voidabe ABSENCE by stating that he had just organ
lied party for can extensive exploration on the
plains, under orders of the Bureau of Public Lands"
DIR. Lawrence, on behalf of Col. Jackson, read a
statement from the latter expressive of the convic
ti ton under which his decision is made; and Gen.
Pillow, in receiving the testimonial, read the re-
Spouse of Gen. Burnett in which he says: "By my
self it shall be cherished in grateful remembrance,
as memento of the generosity of those comrades,
who in your judgment, have accorded it to me-
and as an incentive to be ever ready to serve our
country, should my services be required upon the
battlefield"
