How They do the Camp.Meeting Business
Ont West,

They have at Urbana, Ohio, the nation
al camp-meeting" of some one of the half
dozen Methodist churches. On Wednes-
day a contribution was being raised for
some purpose when negro gave his silver
watch. The watch was Immediately sold
at auction for 500. This started the blaze,
and the faithful began to strip off their
jewelry and personal valuables. A Mrs.
Under, of Marion, Ohio, passed up to the
altar her solitaire diamond ring, another
gave her earrings, another her bracelets,
another her Geneva watch. The gentle
men, on the whole were poorer or else
more discreet, and are only credited with
a pair of sleeve buttons and a Mexican dol
lar. The amount of these offerings was
reckoned at 81, 800 The brother who had
the affair in charge very honestly offered
to return privately anything that had been
given in excitement, and we have not yet
learned how extensive the reimburs ements
were.-PittSbuTg ChrOn. = 4-+.

Great Grant and Wilson Rally at Newport,
Cooke County.

At about O'Clock OH the morning of the
18th, the crowd began TO gather from all
parts of our county, and by II o'clock the
streets of our village were crowded by per-
sons, not only from this county, but also a
delegation was present from both Jefferson
and Sewer, all manifesting great anxiety
for the hour to arrive for speaking to COM
mence.
Chancery Court being inEassion, his
Honor, Judge Smith, very kindly adjourn
ed at ii O'Clock to meet at s on the morn
ing following. AT about l O'Clock the
crowd repaired to very pleasant grove,
where a stand had been erected for The
speakers. Hon. r. r. Butler made a very
able speech to very attentive audience
and was followed by Hon. Horace May
nard, who discussed the political situation
and compared the candidates, Grant and
Greeley, in manner that left an impress
ion with the voters that will count strong
ly in favor of Grant next November.
The crowd, both as to number and be-
havior, excelled anything that has as
sembIed in Cooke county for many years..

Eastern Division Fair.

The success of the Eastern Division Fair is O
matter in which all are interested, and from pre-
sent indications that it will be success, we have
not the smallest doubt. 1t has been put on
sound financial basis, under the management of
Chancellor o. p. Temple, assisted by an eff
cient corps of officers. The premiums offered
aggregate upwards of 5000 in currency, in
stead of silver ware, as formerly, which change
it is thought, will be appreciated by largely
increased list of articles exhibited and in the
number in attendance.
a few days since we visited the fair grounds
and found workmen engaged in whitewashing
the building and otherwise renovating it, pre-
paratory to the Fall exhibition, commencing
October 18th. The trees, of which upwards of
five hundred have been planted the past season,
are generally doing well, three-fourths of them
or more having lived and are now fourishing,
notwithstanding the summer has been very
severe on plants of all kinds.
There are several groups of trees planted on
different parts of the grounds, enclosed by a
substantial railingto prevent their being iniur-
ed by stock, which, in q few years, will afford
pleasant shade under which to pass away the
time. A group of magnolias, planted inside
the circle made by the race course, are growing
finely and WILL when little older, present a
beautiful sight. 77l
The trees were secured by the exertions of
Judge Temple without extra expense to the So
ciety, other than freights. A number of ever
green's from the Rochester nursery look fresh
and beautiful, and all are growing with one ex-
ception. -
The track will be placed in thorough order
for the races and the grass, which is splendid
PASTURE mown before the Fair takes place. The
dining hall will be used for the exhibition of ar
tices and strand for refreshments will be erect
ed on the west end of the building, thus giving
more room to show goods. A large number Of
agencies for the sale of tickets have been APP
pointed by the Secretary, Mr.. Charlton, and
with proportionate energy on their part, the
numbers sold will be far beyond the expecta-
lions of the friends of the enterprise.

Correspondence of the Chronicle -
ROGERsYILLE. August 81. I

ROGERsyILLE, August q, 1872
While we rejoice at the success of our
Republican friends in the various States.
in uniting upon strong and able standered
bearers, there Is no selection that is more
gratifying and encouraging than that fire
tried patriot, Judge r. r. Butler, as the
true Republican standered bearer for
Congress from the First Congressional
District.
The action of the true Republicans of
this good old Union and Whfg District is
applauded by the true friends of the Gev-
ernment. 1t has sent a thrill of Joy into
the hearts of every man and woman who
were true friends to our glorious Union in
the dark days of treason and rebellion.
Since the nomination of VIM. B. Carter,
by the Democratic Rebel Convention of
this District, many of the Conservatives of
this District have become cold and indif-
ferent and say if they take sides they will
go for Grant and Butler, while many of
them have came out openly in favor of
Grant and Butler. / could give you the
names of some of the best Conservative
men in Hawkins county, who are for
Grant and Butler, but it is prudent to keep
quiet at the present. Ofone thing, howev-
er, you may rest assured We intend to
carry this District for Grant and Butler by
5000 majority. att
will venture to say further, that if ex-
President Johnson runs as an independent
candidate, for the State at large against
General Cheatham, the Republican major
ity in this District will be still greater.

Destruetton OF COTTON I'm AIabama.

MONTGOMERY, Aug. Cool. M. J.
Williams, one of the proprietors of the
AdUertiSer, is dead. Aged 81.
Reliable reports from all quarters of Ala
bama, represent the destruction of cotton
by worms as more thorough than ever be-
fore. They have eaten the leaves and
forms until the fields are as bare as after
the frost.
The naked condition of the plant reveals
the fact that the material fruitage is not so
great as usual this season, and fears of al
most universal bankruptcy among the
planters are entertained. No one expects
the crop to equal last years.
