Editors InlsllIgcncrr;
Having little leisure time this even
ing, have wandered to the old camp
meeting ground, and now seated beneath
one OF the grand old trees within the en-
closure, will try to give your readers
some idea Of what is going on, and how
things look. | had heard that extensive
preparations were being made, but could
not havG realized 1t, but for seeing. From
where sit can be seen twelve very fine
new buildings that have been erected
during the past week. Eight Of these are
very line residcnCes-Iine enough 10 live
in all the time. Many more inferior ones
have beVn erected, good enough for one
year. In another year no doubt the entire
enclosure will he surrounded with nice
two story buildings. Several families
have already taken possession Of their
houses, and why should they not? for
they arc Coscy, comfortable and neat, and
are capable Of withstanding the weather
be It ever 40 stormy. Everything points
to a good time, and II this beautiful
weather continues we will surely
have larger turnout than ever
before. The boarding tent is being re.
fitted in the best Of style, and under the
supervision OF Messrs. Osborne Il Co. the
temporal wants Of all who come will 10
we'll supplied both as regards eating and
sleeping, We notice that all things else
necessary seem Ia be on hands. A barber
shop is being fitted up, aud TruXell, Of
Wheeling, il here to take the photos Of
all who may apply. The tabernacle i.
erected In the southwest corner Of the
camp ground, and ii is so situated that 1t
will be high and dry all the time.
Rev. Ball and family have occupied
their handsome dwelling erected last year.
II Is now plastcrcd and papercd, which
gives it a very home.ike appearance.
There will I've services on the ground
tomorrow evening, but the camp meet
ing proper will not begin until Wednes'
day evening. Elder Ball tells me he has
secured the services Of Rev. DR.. R0sser,
Of Richmond, Va; DR.. Wood, Of Balti-

me this evening, am forced to the con.
clusiOn that We have fair prospect IN
the not distant future Of seeing our camp
ground have the appearance Of Il nice
little city, the public square oi which
will be the sanctuary. The scene just
now is very beautiful. The setting sun
ia tipping the tops Of those towering pop,

MIDDLEDoURSE, ". Va, August :.
Editors ln,egenccr
The destruction caused by the late
Hoods in Middle Island, Point Pleasant,
Indian and MCElrOy creeks and their
tributaries, in this county, has been in the
memory Of our oldest residents here, I'M.
precedented.
Middle Island creek at this place last
Monday I'd inst.) was 4 feet s inches
higher than in 1852, and the loss oi saw
mills, houses, lumber, logs, fences and
crops along the valley Of this creek and
indeed most Of the other creeks and runs
has been very severe. Most Of the grl't
mills In the county have been greatly
damaged and all the mills on the SnnchO
swept away entirely.
Several rats lone large one broke up
in the race at the jug Handle Mill site
near here. Probably sou are aware that
the creek at that place after making u
bend Of some five or six miles, something
in the shape Of jng.hnndlc comes back
to within 100 feet leaving u narrow neck
Oi land which was cut through many
years ngo aud used NJ q mill race, but the
floods have kept carrying away the miIl4
there and washing the race wider anil
wider until now about half the volume d
water in the creek at that point passes
through the race. and in consequence adds
greatly to the danger Of running lumber
and boats out Of the creek.
Although the farmers along these
creeks have been injured very materially
in the loss Of crops, fences &c, yet !
think they will, a. a general thing, be
more than compensated another year by
the increased fertility Of their bottom
lands from the rich deposits ol soil left
by the hoods.
The rain since the last Hood hns washed
the gfnss in the bottoms 40 that il begins
to look bright again, and much hay will
be saved that farmers booked upon just
after the food M being entirely lost.
Farmers along the creeks who have
timber on their farms bordering the
creeks have more rails in many casca
caught In the timber than they lpst, and
In addition many saw.logl and much
lumber and wood that will 60 far toward
the e6penIc Of rebuilding their fences.
But these are exceptional cases, aud not
the rule, and one man just above here
has lost about n mile and half Of fcnc.
ing, and has to rebuild 1t almost entirely
out Of new material.
Several dwelling houses on Point Pleas.
ant and Elk Fork creeks were carried
away by the food also the bridges on
the B. 4 S. turnpike across Point Pleas.
ant and Indian creeks we're swept away.
The county levy for the present year
in this county Ia 80 cents on each 500
value Of real and personal property. II
wa 80 cents last year. Tho increase ia
caused by the erection Of q new Jail, the
estimaled cost Of firc.prooi vaults for tho

Courts, and m increase in the estimated

The statement is made that CnnIsToPHER
Co1un1Bus has recently been declared holy
by the supreme Pontifcal authority, and that
the canonization was mnde at the instance Of
the Order of the Jesuits, and mainly on the
ground that he discovered America It is
curious on several accounts that this should
have been done at the present time. In the
first place, it is moro doubtful now than it
ever YVES before whether CHRISTOPHER Co.
1uMBus was the real discoverer Of America,
and if his sanctifcation rests on that ground
his claim to the distinction is fral and IN
certain. In the next place, it is worthy Of
remark that the Pope finds it necessary to
20 back several centuries to find material
for canonization- It is true thnt the faults
Of men grow small and their virtues large i'll
perspective, but the houors conferred on o
character that has almost become tabled would
indicate conspicuous rarity Of sanity vir-
tues among the recently deceased The dis
tinction is worth more than it used to be before
the time Of COLUMBUS, when every country
had the privilege Of nominating its own
saints, and when the lists grew to such d.
nensions that it was found necessary to limit
the selection to the supreme authority Of the
Church. It may be that, in exercising this
exceptional favor in behalf Of COLUMBUS, the
Pope intended to show peculiar grace to the
Catholics of America, q disposition he had
already manifested by comforting the 6erTxtta
on Cardinal McC1osKEY. At any rate, it is
but fair to accept it as an evidence Of good

A practical incident, illustrative Of the im~
portance which the Ohio and Pennsylvania
elections have in relation to the business at
the country, occurred within day or two IN
this city, and is probably but one of many
that have come under the observation OF
businessmen. An Eastern capitalist who
has $16,0O invested in Chicago mortgage,
falling due in November, wrote asking the
borrower to renew it. He added, however,
that if it was not the intention to renew it,
he hoped the mortgagor would give him i'll
mediate notice Of his intention to pay 1t
when due, in order that he might make his
arrangements for investing it on the spot.
The capitalist gave as reason for this IN
usual anxiety that, if the Democrats carried
Ohio and Pennsylvania for rag money, his
$4,000 would not have anything like its
present value in sixty days after such
event. This is practical instance Of the
de,noralizing effect which the dishonest agi-
tation of dilnting the currency is having
upon the business Of the country. 1t is but
one of many nnd various indications that the
inminence Of the dluting and cheapening
of our paper money is destroying confidence
and unsetting al1 business relations.

back to 100 cents on the dollar would ruin
the men Of small means and the wages class,
because it would add $25o,ooo,0oo Of value
to the currency they have on deposit and Que
to them for wages while to reduce the value
Of the greenbacks to so cents on the dollar'
would be a blessing to the same class, though
it would blot out $500, 100000 of the money
value Of the money due them, and which 1s
all they have to live on. We submit to those
interested how far the argument Is reason
able and true.
This talk about the erich creditor class "
aud "poor debtor class is unmitigated bosh.
The only debtors who are, IS class, to be
benefited by cheap money are those who
have invested in heary specu1ations, and
have to pay their debts or go into bankruptcy,
and the holders Of questionable railroad
bonds and speculative stocks, some of which
are now offering in the market at conts on
the dollar, upon which they can no longer
borrow, and which they bought at speculative
prices. These people want legal tenders SO
reduced that people will be willing to ez-
change them even for Ton Scorr's bonds, and
JAZZ CooKE's railroad stocks, and B. F. ALIENS
checks The real creditors of the country
are the 1aborers and producers, to whom the
world is of necessity always IN debt.
