DIT. EQlt0r.
The undersigned beg leave to make the fol-
kennebunk and Richmond camp meetings pub-
lished in the PRESS.
We have examined, though not till recently.
the letters of your correspondent from those
meetings, and find that they abound in blum
ders and Misrepresentation, some of which in
dictate gross carelessness; Others betray want
of information in the matter of which he was
writing, and others are without excuse These
blunders and Misrepresentation appear in
nearly every letter at the rate of from two to
six in each. Take his letter from Kennebunk.
for example. In six sentences TOUCHING the
doctrine of holiness, he misrepresents five
times, and prophesies once with all the assur-
ance of an acknowledged oracle. ill
There may be, however slight apology for
him in the fact that at the time of that writing
he had been nominally connected with our
church just two months and five DAYS. This
may be an apology for his blunders, but is hard
on his modesty.
We find his worst performances are in mat
tiers which he had an opportunity of seeing
and hearing, showing strange incapacity to
see correctly or marvellous ability to report
falsely. His description of the procession at
the parting ON the last evening at Richmond
is specimen. His representation that s'the
men" formed in one line and the women in
another by themselves, and thus ''the sisters
passed along the waiting line of men," is
false. as can be proved by hundreds who were
cording to our uniform custom the ministers
formed in line, and the entire procession of
men and women, according to their own choice,
passed the very spot where the PRESS reporter
says he was standing. This procession, not of
women alone, but of husbands and wives,
fathers and daughters, brothers aud sisters,
passed before him, and not as he represents
the women first and afterwards the men-but
at the same time constituting the same line.
Yet it seems that in that line your reporter
saw s'the sisters" only. 0N 9r
This Misrepresentation he follows up by the
statement that many of the more excited sis
| tiers throwing their arms around some fayorite
| brother neck and giving him the kiss of holy
love-" We have examined the facts of the
case and are satisfied that that statement is
false. We reach this conclusion from the ties.
timony Of those who were on the ground and
at the point where he said it occurred, and also
from the fact that the reporter himself has
since told different story, and SO materially
different as to show beyond question that his
first statement was false.

+. while the above letter is perhaps a little
more violent in tone than is quite decorous for
clerical gentlemen, we willingly publish it to
give their statement as wide publicity as that
to which they object. 1t is but fair to say that
our correspondent insists that he made an en-
tirely accurate account of the proceedings.
Wherever the truth may lie, it is quite certain
that no one supposes that the numerous and
respectable body of christians there represent
ed, would sympathize at all with any extrav-
agances like those alleged

MORMON IAIMIGRANTs.-Six hundred con-
verts arrived At New York on Monday from
Liverpool, on their way to the city of the Lat
ter Day Saints About three hundred of them
are tiae-looking, healthy people from Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, and the remainder are
natives of England, Wales and Scotland. They
have been culled from the working classes,
| Northampton and Birmingham furnishing a
large proportion. They seem to be entire fami-
| lies, and among them are a man aged 81 years
| and woman aged SO. This company has been
collected during the past six months by the ex-
ertions of the Mormon missionaries, the con-
| verts being sent from their native places to
Liverpool, where they were received and cared
for by Elders G. w. Wilkins, Dr. Parke and
Darlington and Mr. Brigham Darlington. The
two former have accompanied them to this
shore. DIR. Parke reports that during his ex-
tensive tour over the continent it was portion
of his duty to understand the various systems
of public education with the view of reorganz-
ing the educational institutions of Utah.
Sometimes the Mormon agents are victim
lied by cunning foreigners, as was illustrated
few months ago. At that time there came
among their party tall, athletic Irshman,
whose brilliant auburn hair indicated great
vigor. He had imposed so much upon the
missionaries that his passage and subsistence
to this country had been paid. He came ashore
felt his foot on terra tirnaa he gave great leap
and shouted Pm Mormon no longer Pm ON
American soil. Ha! hal Stop me now if We
canP' On previous voyage two English girls
to reach New York. The arrival of Mormons
at New York will average about three thousand
per year.
The NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.-A New
York despatch says forty organizations, alto
bo al ot Tho of
the National Board of Trade in that city in Oc-
tober. The Board will be called to order at II
A. NJ by Frederick Fraley of Philadelphia,
President of the Board, who will address the
members when the Board will be formerly or
ganized. Mr.. VIM. E. Dodge, President of the
New York Chamber of Commerce, will welcome
the delegates to the city in the name of the
commercial interests of New York. Fred Fra
ley, the present incumbent of the Presidency,
has held the Office two years. The preliminary
proceedings will be conducted at the Chamber
of Commerce. After the formal organization,
it is probable that the Board will adjourn to
the room in the City Hall and continue its ses-
sons.
A GLOUCESTER VESSEL GIVEN UP FOR
LosT.-Schooner White Eagle of Gloucester
has been given up as lost on Grand Banks with
entire crew consisting of Nelson Goodwin
master, of Argyle, N. S., who leaves widow
and seven children; Warren Goodwin and
James N Goodwin, brothers of the master,
Samuel Goodwin and Asa Goodwin, brothers,
Jedediah Goodwin, Samuel Goodwin and David
