BRANDYwISE SUMMIT CAMP MEETING, !
FlidaY. Anrnst 2Olh.

Friday, August 2Olh.
This morning opened most lovely. AT 8
a. M, the bell rang for early service, and
though it was not largely attended, ii was
spiritually great meeting. All present ap-
peared TO partake of that good feeling which
the human heart can only be happy with
AT hali-pasl 10 n. M, the bell again rang for
preaching. These services were conducted
by John b. Cutiss. Text-6th chapter
of st. John, and part of the 34th verse. AL
though this was tie most beautiful morning
during The camp, the meeting was very
thinly attended; so much SO that the speak
ers were compelled 10 request the people to
come from their tents into the circle and
listen to the preaching, but as far we OBJ
served their request was moi complied with.
The singing on this occasion was, in our
opinion, not what was desired at camp
meeting. Although the leader is an A No.
singer, his selection of the tunes in this case
was failure We do not think there were
ten people upon the ground that could sing
lhem correct without notebook. Surely
there was very little attempt made, aud il is
no wonder that singing is so fast dying out
in So many of our churches, when a choir is
made to recite words that nobody can un-
derstand, to music that so few know OF, and
the people are left 10 listen to newly con-
veried opera airs, imported by foreign opera
singers, and those sweet melodies so pleas.
lug TO the Methodist car, have nearly been
driven from our churches. But we hope
the good old fashioned tunes which have
gathered thousands around the throne OF
grace in days gone $, will be left lor the
camp meeting, If not for the church, for n
long season to come.
The duties of the afternoon services were
reformed by the Rev. T. Is. Miller, ol
Philadelphia His text was from the book
OF st. Mark: "Unless a man be born ugain
he cannot enler The kingdom of Heaven. y
This text was the most masterly handled oil
any il has ever been our good fortune to heal
before. This meeting, unlike the one in the
morning, was largely attended. The vast
! audience was all attention, from ills begin.
ming 10 its close. While sitting in the cen
ire Of the circle, and while the services iu
lhe church tents were under way, the camI
fires all burning brightly, and apparently
Illuminating the whole heaven, then The
sweet singing and shouts oil this powci fu
people with their united voices, fairly shool

asserts his readiness and desire for the con

that defeat oil Valmaseda would virtually

Spain ever TO send troops enough to regain
the position which they would lose. General
Jordon is placing his men in position Tor the
fight, which was almost daily expected.
In General Quesada's command, besides a
few skirmishcs between small parties, it is
reported that there has been no engagement.

FIRE IN BALTIMORE Twelve houses.
many of them dwellings, were burned on
Wednesday before the flames could be sub
dued, and thirteen others more or less dam
aged. The machine shops OF E. II. Frazier
& Co., were also destroyed, together with
six new engines. Loss $55,0O0; insurance
light The loss on Randolph's lumber yard
which was also totally destroyed, is $50, 600
on which there is less than 81, 600 insurance.
The total loss and insurance cannot now be
definitely asceitained. 1t was the most de-
structive fire that has occurred in Baltimore

tumbles into the surf is a study for phlloso-
pher. She has On air of dignity in spite of
her blurcated garments as she walks down

gentecl excluslveness in her mien, in spite
OF her naked white feet, which mincingly

BULL FROG AvENUE.-The City Council
have determined to open the road to the
Delaware on Fifteenth street. instead OF tak-
ing those sweelly inviting and decidedly in
expensive fields of living green, so poetcal-
ly spoken of in the report oil committee on
that subject. All first every thing was to be
done for the encouragement and adva. tage
of the Edgemoor Iron Works; now, that
company, We are told, is TO make its own
road if it wants one, and fifteenth street is
10 be the glorious future paradise for the
town LOT suckers TO goat ia. Mr.. Febiger,
who possesses more practical brains, and
dozen times more common sense in a bus-
ness point of view than most oil those who
opposed his view Of The new road, plainly
told Council, that the opening of Fifteenth
street would benefit no particular interest of
value to the city, but would make capital
field for bull frog shooting, and require tor
wharfage facilities an expensive outlay OF
money. But his suggestions were disre-
garded; the fat job idea prevailed, and we
suppose the plundering oi the City Treasury
is 10 be continued ria Fifteenth street, as it
has been on other similar occasions, through
the vile and reckless Legislation OF the city
authorities.
When the road is finished, tile members OF
Council ought TO inaugurate its opening by
grand bull frog excursion Of that body over
the road, with wooden guns and pistols. 1t
would be fitting sequel to the great achieve
ment 10 see the projectors OF the Froglown

has an ungenteel and awkward look, no matter
