ELECTION IN BERKELEY COUNTY
The Convention election on Thursday
last. passed off without excitement. In
deed, there seemed to be the absence of
everything tending to disorder or con-
fusion. The full vote was out Ill some
of the townships, but in others there
was but little interest manifested In
Martinsbrg, the vote was the largest
ever east, owing to the fact that many
persons from the county voted at this
precinct The negro vote numbered
about 9O,many ofwhom were not known
to the Commissioners, but their parficW-
lar friends, white and black, aided them
in proving their personal id'nrity, as
we'll as citizenship. Mill Creek has
proved itself the banner township in IA

Our LeetOWn Correspondence.
August Doth, 1871

August Doth, 1871.
The Camp Meeting is the general
topic here, and | will confne my letter
to a few notes concerning the progress
of the meeting.
The expected tent holders did not all
come up to their promises to tent on the
ground, and thus the circle was not filled
up with tents. The weather has been
wet nearly all the time since the begin
ming of the meeting, yet the congrega-
tons have been large.
A slight shower on Thursday evening,
and heavy one on Friday evening,
stopped the public services on those
two evenings.
Rev. J. c. Taylor of Hedgesville,
preached the opening sermon on Fri
day morning, and Rev. J. II. Marsh
preached in the afternoon. The inter
est of the meeting commenced with the
,mon of Saturday morning, by Rev.
Z. Z. Anderson, of Berkeley Springs,
who preached an impressive and beau
tiliIl sermon.
Rev. Asbury Il. Rely, Of Cumber
land, Md, occupied the stand on Sab
bath morning, and proclaimed the truth
to about 5000 people within the circle.
His text was And Jesus said unto
him, / am the resurrection and the life.
The address was apowertul one, and
was listened. to with the deepest atten-
ton, until the rain interrupted the
speaker and broke up the audience.
This morning Rey. Jas. r.. gladden.,
ca son of Rev. Robert gladden., of bless
ed memory, preached from The secret
of the Lord is with them that fear him,
and for more than an hour tie audience
listened with earnest attention to the
plain, practical words of the speaker, as
he enforced the truths that he proclaim
ed, warning the sinner to flee from the
wrath to come.
This afternoon was devoted to chill
dren's meeting, and the exercises were
Of the most interesting character. Short,
sparkling addresses were delivered by
Revs. Holiday, Taylor, Jump, Wecch,
Marsh, Rely and Bender, and the chill
dren looked as if they would have viii
lingly listened for hours to these pleas
ant speakers. who evidently know how
to interest children.
The meeting will close on Thursday
morning. Fourteen ministers have been
present, and about 5000 people were on
the ground on the Sabbath day The
order has been generally good, notwlth-
standing several specimens Of the work
turned by the rumseller, have been eX-
hibited on the ground almost every day.
Several persons have protested to have
found Christ in the pardon OF sin, and
number are still seeking that pearl Of
great price.
We hope that the meeting may be
favored with pleasant weather during
the remainder Of the time spent i'll the
tented grove.
The grove is well adapted to camp
meeting purpose, and the Committee
are under many obligations to DR.. 5. f.
Balch for his kindness in giving them
the use Of the ground for the meeting.
Yours truly,
TENIPLAR.

MISERY IN SOUTHERN HUNGARY.-Thc
Heralds special, dated Pesth, August
%. saws: There is a fearful misery in
Southern Hungary, formerly the most
important grass producing country in
Europe. One-third of the country is
under water. The dams which were
built to prevent the overflow ofthe river
have been permitted to fall into ruins.
They gradually yielded to the pressure
of water and the swollen rivers have
now flooded the country for miles. All
wheat crops are gone, and houses, grain
cries and cattle are submerged in water.
There have been unusual storms this
season. The Peasantry of South Hun
gary rely yearly on sustenance from the
wheat and tobacco crops. The hail
storms have destroyed the garden fruits
and vineyards, besides the grain and
tobacco fields. The severity of the
Government in collecting the taxes in
creases the misery and poverty of the
people. The cattle and asses generally
have been seized to pay arrears Of taxes.
Peasants are respondent and embittered.
All the trade, agriculture and industry in
the south Of Hungary are nominal.

At the election in Kentucky last
week the Democrats, as usual. made a
clean sweep. Governor Leslie and the
entire ticket, were triumphantly elected
by larger majorlties than were ever CIV
en- for any men Of any party who ever
ran for Office in that State. Over fifty
thousand negroes voted for the first
time; but this caused wholesome reac-
ton on the part of the white Radicals,
and they focked over to the Democrats.

BY" Ir Is An ESTABLISHED FACT that
the Stieff Piano is one of the best now
made in the country, they having been
awarded no less than II Gold and silver
medals during the fall Of 1869 and 1870
throughout the country. Their new
illustrated catalogue is beautifully got
ten up. and contains the names Of over
1000 SouthernerS, (who have purchased
the Stietf Piano since the close OF the
war; of which so Nirginians, 200
North Carolinians, $50 Tennesseeans
and others throughout the South.
1t is also an established fact that the
firm of CuAs. VI. ST1EFF, does larger
Southern business than any one house
in the United States.
The Stietf Piano combines every
quality that is required to make the Pi-
ano as perfect as possible. The rich,
grand, mellow and powerful tone they
possess has not been excelled 10y anyin-
strument manufactured. Especially in
the treble does the Stieff Piano show its
superiority over others by the bell like
clearness and the singingquality oftone,
which lends to them an inestimable
charm.
Persons who are in want of strictly
first class Piano. we would advise be
fore purchasing elsewhere to examine
the Stieff Piano. or send tor their illus
trated catalogue.

SATURDAY....... SEPT. .. 1874.

rsys~ Tur CoNvENrIoN.-Enough re-
,prps from the late election, have been
~,ceved To make it certain that the
Convention has carried by several thou
sand majority. In this County the to-
tai vote was 2271, and the majority for
the Convention was 7l9. The full vote
of the County was not out by nearly one
thousand. but we hope that when the
election for delegates takes place the
people will turn out and elect suitable
men, men ofeXperlence and well pai-
apced minds, so shat our next Constltu-
ton NAV be one that can be understood.
and so plain that it can not be twisted
to suit all sorts of party legislation and
interpreted to mean anything that the
majority may desire to have done under
il. We have had sad experience, IN
this County, of what can be done under
the present Constitution, and our peo-
ple should be careful whom they elect
to the Convention, in order that similar
provisions and omissions may not he
found in the new. To our colored
friends, who unanimously opposed the
Convention, we would advise to cease
being blind followers" and depend
more upon theirOwn observation ofmen
and things about them.

RAPPAIAHNoCK COUNTY, August %
This part of Virginia is Sorely troubled.
The wheat is now all threshed, and what
was believed to be short crop at har-
vest now falls one third short Of the eX-
pectation then. The prices very low,
heavy taxes due the lst day Of Septcm-
ber being two years crowded into one
much will be unpaid on the LIST of Sep
TENDER and the heavy burden increased
with five per cent added. To add to
our troubles we are suffering from Il
long protracted drouth, pastures parched
up, branches dry, and many wells and
springs in the same situation; the neigh
borhood mills can't grind, and we have
to club together and send to the Shenan-
doah river for meal; some have been so
unfortunate as to send to RivertCn Mills,
but the proprietorS refuse to grind corn
because theirs is wheat mll.-To-day
saw two wagons that had been there
with 40 bushels of corn each to grind
return with their corn and two bushels
each of meal, and full of wrath and in
dignation. That reminds me that the
corn crop can't by any possibility, be a
half one. The graziers wear long faces;
with low price object, and dry pastures,
they will scarcely realize cost. All is
dust. dust,
Gov. Walker has directed that no
public professions. civil or military or
CARNATIONS, white or black, be allowed
to occupy the Capitol square at Rich
mond, without an order Of permission.
A late colored excursion party from
Washington attempted to violate this
order. When refused admittance their
leader was very indignant He told the
officer in charge Of the gate, the Rich
mond News says, that he would tele-
graph to Gen. Grant and have an order
in half an hour which would cause the
gates to swing back as if by magic-he
also demanded the number of the badge
worn by the officer, for the purpose of
reporting him to headquarters, DC.
Even these threats, Missed through
clenched teeth, did not move the faith
full officer, who quietly yet firmly, repli-
ed, 100000 orders from Grant would MT
open these gates-I want to see one
signed by Gilbert c. Walker" Fin
ding it impossible to move the officer,
the irate colored individual moved off
with his command, uttering curses both
loud and deep"
The weather is pleasant.
