Poland Camp.Meeting.
POLAND CAMP GROUND,
Aug. 10Th. 1873.


Aug. 29th, 1873. !
To the Editor of the Press:
The meeting at this grove commenced last
Monday evening The weather thus far has
been splendid, and the progress of the meeting
good.
There has been almost an entire absence of
all rowdyism, the order of the meeting has
been excellent and this rural retreat almost as
quiet as church.
The preaching has been of the Evangelical
order,-pointed appeals to the heart-rather
than abstruse discussions of doctrines.
By far the ablest sermon of the meeting up
to this time, was preached yesterday in the af-
ternoon by Rev. }. R. Day of Bath. Mr., Day is
quite young man, TALL erect, has fine voice,
graceful gesture and a pleasant, energetic style
of delivery.
But few ministers from abroad are present
none from out of the State. Ihave been told,
Rev. DR. Ridgaway of New York is expected to
be here, and preach next Sabbath. Mr.. Pit
blado of your city is here, and will preach Sat-
urday.
One thing is particularly observable in the
preaching thus far. The higher life doctrines
of the perfectonists, have had less to do with it
than formerly.
The Empire Grove is decidedly, one of the
very best in the State,-and there are some of
the finest cottages here, to be found upon any
camp ground. About dozen (son e of them
first class) have been added the present year.
The religious interest of the meeting is good
A large number of conversions are already re-
ported, while the doctrine of holiness has been
persistently pressed by its advocates in the So
cial meetings, with some success.
Rev DR.. Weber presides over the meeting.

Notwithstanding the correspondents of the
New York Tribune declare that the freedmen
are idle and thriftless, and in a more deplora-
BILE condition then when in slavery, there
are evidences of the general thrift and prosper
ty of that people in many parts of the South.
The fast increasing accumulations Of the
Freedmen's Savings Banks indicate thai as
race they are not altogether thriftless. Here
we do not associate thriftlessness with savings
But more direct testimony is borne by South
Carolina papers, not at all in sympathy with
the late bendsmen, Despite the opposition
they have encountered, these papers say the
negroes are assuming the status of their old
masters. To-day some of the most valuable
plantations in that state are owned by men
who were born and sold in the slave markets
of Charleston. In one comfy there are a
number of communities who now
cultivate most successfully the largest plan
tations. Some Of these have been in opera
lion several years, beginning by renting the
land they cultivate, until by careful accumula-
tions they have been able topurchase the soil.
The members Of these communities and many
others who fight the battle alone are among
the heaviest taxpayers. A few years ago
they were not worth dollar. They are sue
eesssul because they are accustomed TO work,
do not regard labor as degrading, can live
eheaply aud have no expensive tastes to graf
ify. OF course it is not expected that this
prosperous condition can be found inmay sec
toDs, but as the testimony of those not friend
ly, il is significant and indicates that the de-
spised race under favorable conditions will be
thrifty and prudent. Whether or not the
coming planter will be a negro, become
wealthy and visit the watering places with
fine equipage, as has been the custom of his
late master, is question of the future. The
suggestion may shock fashionable circles, but
the necessary change of status will be
no greater than has been wrought the past
decade in the condition of the freedmen.

Keutucky Outlaws.

Heretofore when Congress has been
considering any measure to punish the Ku-
Klux in the South, Democratic members
have insisted that there was nothing of the
kind and thai it was only device to extend
the time of Republican rule by the aid of the
army. The Democratic press has taken the
same view and, when it has been impossible to
controyert the fact OF their existence and dark
deeds, has apologized for them. Now, how
ever, there is new case. 1t is no radical
election story. There is 10 display of the
hideot DISCUSSES of the Ku Klux at campaign
meetings. 1t comes from the leading Demo
cratic paper in Kentucky which declares that
within five miles of the capital of Kentucky,
outrages are committed, not against the ne
gro solely, but those who employ him. The
outrages are many and vary from the mere ex-
pulsion of citizens to deliberate murder and
other crimes too gross to mention. In some
cases citizens have been notified TO leave the
State on penalty Of death, for employing a
negro. In others the houses Of respectable
men have been ri1ed and burned, their
wives and daughters insulted and the owners
themselves murdered. In brief, their out
RACES are as fragrant as the worst ever imput-
ed TO the most rebellious XII Klux of the JEFF
Davis order. This paper further states that
the band. although not numbering over hun
dred, overawes the authorities and courts.
Indeed, it is asserted that the local author
ties are in secret sympathy with them. AT
any rate they evade every attempt to punish
them. The gang have produced a reign Of
terror so that no one dare complain of them
as he is sure to be the next victim. The Gov
enor has offered small reward for the APP
prehension of the outlaws but in the face of
the terrorism, no one will lift hand. In
deed the Courier-JournoI implies that the
State authorities are ON the side of the out
laws because they have taken no adequate
measures to bring them to justice.
Strange as it may seem, this paper which
has so fiercely denounced the general govern
ment for its interposition in South Carolina
to aid the local authorities to suppress vio-
lence, now calls upou the Federal arm as the
only hope for relief.

SENATOR WILSON'S DISEASE. The Vice
President has given newspaper correspondent
statement of the circumstances connected
with the attack and progress of his disease
He says he was sitting at the tea-tabe, in his us
ual health, when he noticed the first symptoms
On raising a cup of tea to his lips, he felt sim
gular and numb sensation in his mouth, but at
tended with no pain. He arose and walked out
ON the lawn. the same feeling of uumbness
spreading over the right side of the face. On
returning to the house he saw in the looking.
glass that his mouth was drawn out of level.
Experiencing no other Inconvenience he wrote
that evening eighteen letters, and the next day
went into Boston and consulted his physician,
DIR. Edward Clarke, who had treated Mr.. Sum-
ner for his spinal disorder. DIR. Clarke exam
ined him and declared it case of facial paralJ-
sis. He found that a small artery on the left
lower posterior lobe of the skull had burst, and
this lesion was doubtless the attendant if not
the cause of the affection on the right side of
the face. He positively forbade any mental la
Dor, and enjoined entire rest for some months.
A simple vegetable diet was prescribed, and
medicine to allay the tendency of blood to the
head, to which Mr.. Wilson has been subject for
many years. Application of ice in a rubber
bag was also made to the spine, and this APP
plication is continued to the present time, the
ice being renewed three times daily. Under
this treatment-and he has had none other, and
none other is proposed-Mr. Wilson has been
gradually regaining the muscular action of his
face. He is abstaining wholly from study,
though he reads the newspapers and is SPEND
ing his time in moderate exercise, visiting his
friends, and in social intercourse. His chief
solicitude, however, is that he may be able to
complete his History of the Rise and Fall of
the Slave Power" For seven years this work
has absorbed all the time he has not given to
his political duties, and its completion is the
object which is nearest his heart. An authors
ambition has in his mind absorbed that of po-
litical life.
