THE Day OF FASTING AND PRAYER IN CAMP
BEAREGARD.- The following relation is from
the pen of youthful member of the Pal
met'o Guard, in Camp Beauregard, South
Carolina:
This day, appointed by President Davis
as day of fasting and prayer was strictly
observed in our camp.
1890 P MI have just had the gratifi-
cation of hearing one of the best addresses,
suitable to an occasion like the present,
that l have ever listened to, and / doubt
very much whether any congregation were
more favored than we to-day. Our Chap
lain being absent the services We're con-
Quoted by the Rev. John NJ. Carlisle, Of
the Seventh South Carolina Regiment, who
is here awaiting the arrival of his regiment.
His address was very impressive, and, l
believe, touched the heart of every one
who heard it. The attendance was large.
l have never seen an assembly pay more
attention, and when he requested those
present to join::him in prayer, nearly every
man knelt l came away with the con-
viction that we would receive what we
asked for, and trust may not be mistaken.
but that God will give us His blessing.
Our minister called cur attention to the
fact that at the very hour, from the Poto-
mac to the Rio Grande, thousands and
tens OF thousands, and among them our
friends at home, were similarly engaged.

A MASSACHUSETTS WOMAN STRIPED AND
FLoGGED.-On slave plantations women are
regarded, as chattels when bought and
Sold as animals when flogged The aus
tere indecencies which paganism observed
in its better days are there set aside. A
chapter in Mr.. Olmsteaus last book on
the South, shows how he was accidentally
witness of scene, one of the COZ slant ne
cessties of plantations, but seldom en-
countercd by traveliers-a woman stripped
and fogged We are never surprised at
hearing of any crualty or barbarism to-
ward the slave woman, nor need we now
be astonished at similar violence offered
to the free white women hy Southern
mobs, inspired by the Montgomery leaders.
We consider it, therefore, no subject for
special worder or Indignation, to learn, as
we do, through the Syracuse Journal on
the authority of DR.. Mcqueen, that he was
forced to quit San Antonia Texas, for his
loyalty to the Union. The day before he
came away, he saw woman from Boston,
Mass, stripped naked in the public streets,
tarred and feathered, and rode on rail
around the public square with a secession
flag on each side. a crowd conducted the
orgies. The same week Sanborn, of Aaver-
hill, Mas, and Francis Kidder, of Law.

CELEBRATION IN RRUcr

There was very spirited celebration of
the Fourth at McKernan's Grove, in the
town of Bruce. Our informant states that
there were in the vicinity of 5000 people
on the ground. The neighboring towns
had united and got up free dinner, which
Was prepared up in a style of neatness and
abundance never excelled in this region.
There was not only enough of the best for
all, but regiment or two could have
been fed on tho overplus. CHRISTIAN
WAGGoSER, Esq, was President of the day.
JAMES SPENCER, Esq, read the Declaration,
and ARTHUR LOCKWOOD, Esq, of Ottawa,
delivered the Grafton. Ar excellent band
of music twas on the ground; and a de-
cided military air was given to the affair
by the presence of two cavalry companies,
and company of infantry, who delighted
the crowd by the efficiency of their drill
After dinner there were toasts, music, a
formal speech by Mr.. Morr, Of Pontiac,
and other " small and witty sayings and
doings The day was pleasant-the grove
delightful, and everything passed off the
most agreeable manner

New Bank statement.

In the Chicago Times of Wednesday up.
peared the official statement Of the Audi
tor, showing the condition of the stock
secured banks of this State, on Mon
day, the LIST inst The last quarterly state
ment, published April I'd, showed a circu-
lation of Illinois currency reaching sll,-
lO7, 6OO secured by a deposit of State bonds
amounting to sl2,s35, ACT 47-lOO. On the
LIST of December, 1860 the circulation OF
the banks amounted to So, 0,694. On
the oath of May, 1861, this circulation was
reduced to slU, l26, 297. by the report now
published it appears that this circulation,
en- the lst inst, had been further reduced
to the limit of 81, 1874 ,3S5, making the total
amount of circulation retired, from Decem'
Der LIST up to the lst inst, s5,O25, 800.
The reduction has been accomplished
by Withdrawing bonds. SO that the relative
value Of the circulation of the different
banks has been little affected by it.

Congress-.

Congress met on Thursday, persuant to
the proclamation of the President, in e1-
traordinary session As this is new Con-
gress, there will, of course be new speak
err, clerk, and all other officers to elect.
We learn on enquiring at the telegraph,
that up to noon yesterday. no speaker had
been elected. AS the house is largely re-
publican, however, it is not probable that
there will be much of a struggle about the
speakership. Indeed, the choice seems to
lie between Grow and Frank Blair, one or
the other of whom will doubtless be elect
ed on the second or third ballot The re.
pitllcars, it appears, dec ded not to hold a
caucus about the speaker or other officers.
In the present Congress, en- account of
the secessionists, there will be but forty six
members left in the Senate, including both
johnson and Nicholson from Tennessee,
and both the Missouri members. The
number of members OF the House Of Repre-.
sentatiyes is reduced from two hundred
and thirty-seven to one hundred and
eighty. OF these one hundred and three
are Republicans, with one district in Penn
sylvania and two i'll California to hear from
The message was probably read yester-
day, and as no copies were sent out in ad-
vance, it will be sent by telegraph to prin-
cipal points 1t is said not to be lengthy,
but fully up to the requirements of the

The steamer st. Nicholas, plying between
Baltimore and Fort Monroe, was seized on
Saturday by the secessionists. The bust
ness was accomplished in this way. About
30 went aboard in the disguise of mechan-
les. Among them was Captain Hollins,
late OF. the United States ship Susquehanna,
disguised as woman. at given signal,
they seized the officers and crew, putting
them in irons and taking possession of the
vessel After the seizure they went on a
piratical cruise, capturing three vessels up
the Rapphannock river, laden with ice,
coal and coffee, which they took to Fred
ericksburg.
