states that the scene thtre presented is
beyond conception. Without. the W alIs
have the appearance, at distance, Of

number OF b'ick pouItices spattered in

effect OF the shot. Within, the entire fort

met the eye at every luin, while the shot
and shell which had been rsined upon
the strong bold lay in great quantities
upon sll portions Of the pa,ade ground.
The appearance of both Major Ander,

the terrible nature of The ordeal from

Of sleep Tor many hours, fatigued With
their lsbors AT The guns, and prosiraled
by their battle with al element which

eommencsment Of Camp Meetings In

OF the origin of camp meetings, the
New York Evangelist says: "T6s FIRST
camp meeting held in America was in
Kentucky. Two preachers--oue Pres,
oy,erlan, and The other a Methodist--me
'n a village, on the Sabbsih, where there
Was bul one clutch. The Prs.byterian
oficiated in The forenoon. and the Metho.
dis, in the afternoon. The interest on
the subject WAS so great tba, they con.
sinu.d the meslines for day OF two At
The house. The attention soon became
so isrge that they adjourned to the woods.
and continued the meeting for week.
Ard this Is The ofigic Of the modern
Camp meeting.
