SPECIAL PRAYER AND HOW ANSWERED.
Correspondence OF the CommerciaLl
BRAEDYwINE SUMMIT, Sept 8.
Before coming to this camp, We heard friend
remark, in comparing the various camp meet
ings that if they desired spiritual food above all
| things else they would go to Brandywine sum-
NIT and the force OF the remark has been i'm
pressing itself more and more as the days sue
ceed each other 30 rapidly. The one great ques-
| ton being, Saw ye him whom my soul desires
to love" while on the other hand the cry goes
forth 30 that men would taste and see that the
Lord is good. Blessed is the man that trust
eth in him."
Last night we were favored with sermon
from Rev. David Shields. who preached from
the text-"Which things the angels desired to
look into"
Thi. morning has opened beautifully. and we
are nj)ying lovely day but the sun does not
shine any more gloriously upon the face of ma
ture, than the 'Bun Of righteousness" shines
upon the faces and hearts Of many Of his people.
At the eight O'Clock meeting, this morning, the
spirit again manifested itself to a degree that is
but seldom witnessed in this day Of formality
and good order.
We were struck with the desire upon the part
of 30 many to 'witness for Christ, " as many as
five persons standing upon their feet at one
time. each one burning with the desire to "tell
what the Lord had done for their souls"
This morning, we listened TO the sermon by
DIR. Matlack, upon faith his text being found in
1st Peter IL. "Precious faith" We will not
attempt to comment upon the sermon, but in
order to convey to your readers some idea of the
effort we will state that venerable Doctor of
Divinity told US that it was one of the greatest
sermons he had ever heard, and that il we would
give to the public verbatim report Of it, we
would be doing the world great service.
This afternoon we had very heart-sear ching
sermsn from Rev j. b. Merritt, from Mathew
xiii so. Let both grow together until the har-
vest, and in the time of the harvest l will say
unto the reapers gather ye together first the
tares, and bind them in bundles to hurn them
but gather the wheat into my barn."
A feature in the meeting is the presentat ion
of written requests for prayer for special OBJ
iects. which are read to the congregation prior
to the preaching, the congregation rising and
engaging in silent prayer for few moments
that the requests be granted.
Several of these petitions have been signally
answered. We will cite one instance; a request
was written from . parent, yesterday. which
stated that to-day would be the thirteenth
birthday Of his son, and desired that his son
might be enabled to date his spiritual birthday
the same as his natural. To-day the announce
ment was made from the stand that the boy was
happily converted at the children's meeting.
Ii space would permit we might reclte several
remarkable instances of answers to united pray
ers. VERDANT.

TIE MOONLIGHT EXCURSION TO MT. CUBA.-
The moonlight excursion to Mt Cuba, last eve
ming, was eminently successful in all respects.
From 1900 to 1900 persons were present in the
grove, and between 100 to 150 were left at this
depot for the want of cars in which to convey
them Other parties were also left at the sta
tions along the road. The woods was very
brilliantly Illuminated with chinese lanterns,
whose mellow light greatly heightened the ef-
tects of the joyous scene. Prof. Ellinger's
band furnished the music, and the hours were
soon chased away with flying feet. Nothing but
praise is bestowed upon the affair and the admi-
rable manner in which it was conducted. Tn c
party reached home at 12 80.

spite of the protest of Mr. Hooper, who,
in reply to his protest, was loudly in
formed that he must remember that he
was in the State of Georgia" This is
but another instance-and, fortunately,
this time a comparatively mild one-of
the practical manner in which certain
Southern States ''accept the situation"
There is one significant fact in connec-
ton with these outrages at the South.
which deserves mention and affords a
subject for serious consideration and re-
Election. Not an outrage has been heard
of in q Republican State. We are Civ
ing, in this instance, the Liberals and
Democrats the benefit of their claim in
regard to Louisiana, for the reasons that
the gross outrages and heathenish, saw
age massacres have been confessedly
committed by McEnery's adherents. We
still believe that William P. Kellogg is
the legal Governor of that State, but
submit that upon the claims of his par
tisans and the practices of his adherents
in some case by his express direction
these outrages are the Cutgrowth of
the determination to carry the State for
Greeley. With this, possible, exception,
for we opine it will never be known
show the State went" all the outrages
have occurred in anti-Republican States.
This is the manner in which these men
recognize the equality of all men be-
fore the law, and hold that it is the
duty of government in it's dealing with
the people to mete out equal and exact
justice to all, of whatever nativity, race,
color or persuasion, religious or political"
These are the men who pirate about re-
Cancellation and do not believe in ''abridg-
ing the privileges or immunities of the
citizens of the United States" They
believe, also, in impartial suffrage" and
in civil rights to the colored man. 1t is,
however, by such acts as this and those
of the Colfax Modocs that they illus
trate their kind of reconciliation, civil
rights and equal and exact justice to all
We very much fear, however, that Mr.
Smith will not obtain justice or re-
Enumeration for his wrongs. The suit
must be tried in Georgia and before a
Georgia jury. The citizens of that State,
although on the same side of the fence
with the Springfield Republican, will be
very 10th to see that any wrong has been
done. They will, rather, applaud and
uphold the conductor and railroad com
pany, and we venture to predict that a
| Jury will not be obtained in that State
that will agree upon verdict in favor
/ of Mr.. Smith. The action of the con-
/ ductor was in direct violation of the
! constitution of the United States and
/ laws of the land, but this will make nc
difference. This class of reconciled and
/ Iiberalized Georgians are law unto
themselves. We most heartily wish the
trial could take place in Vermont, where
we elect lawyers to the Legislature, and
dare, without consulting the Springfield
| Republican. to make some of them Judges
and Governors. We would give botl
Mr.. Smith and the railroad company q
fair and impartial trial, and rousing
verdict for the plaintiff if the facts ar,
as stated.
