THREATENED MoB-On Thursday after
noon last, at the Camden Camp, the managers
gave permission to Bishop Wayman (col.) to
occupy the stand and preach to the negroes in
the rear of the encampment, (as is usual The
announcement that "ngger was goin to
preach was soon noised abroad and by the time
the hour had arrived latter the regular after
noon services) some seventy-fve or hundred
persons, all opposed to "nigger equality )"
Methodist preachers and Horace Greelv, were
on hand" ready for the row and drunk for
the occasion. The attempt was not made how
ever, the fear of Federal bayonets," which
could have soon been in attendance been tba
strongest argument against them. But for
the soldiers, it is almost certain that RELIGIONS
meeting would have been broken up by drunk
en- copperhead mob As it was, with the px-
ceptlon of slight effort at disturbance bv raj.
Ting the boards, the meeting passed off oniatl,,
he Governor of the State was consulted in
the matter, and advised his friends to deSist IN
the ground that "yOu might not succeed and
II you do you'll have negro soldiers ouartorod
on you In less than week; let them alone and
see how lar they will 60" So the attpmn, |
was given up from expediency. AT night tbe !
house where the bishop stayed was stoned bu, /
a military guard soon put stop to that.
IL is very evident that the managers had -
perfect rl@ht to grant this privilege; they vio-
lated no law, nor did the negro in acceptinp #
nose who thought it wrong were not OBLIGED
TO near the sermon nor could they have been
injured by 1t if they had. At all events mob
law was not in order -
