MOUNDSVILLE CAMP MEETING

MouNDsvrLLE, August so.
Editors lutellSeuccr:
The rains last night have made the
grounds very pleasant, and looking in
almost any direction groups OF people
may be seen engaged in singing or conver-
satlOn. The seats in the enclosure were
80 damp that it was thought best to hold
the early morning services in the Taber-
nacle.
At 10! o'clock Rev. Reilly addresaed
very large and attentive audience in the
enclosure. The speaker chose for his
text the Lamentations OF Jeremiah II,
10. ,."AIl that pass by clap their hands at
thee; they hiss and wag their head at the
daughter OF Jerusalem saying, is this the
city that men call the perfection Of
beauty, the joy OF the whole earth ?" The
theme was our National reproach or le.
galiZed drunkenness. The speaker then
showed the analogy between the land
oil Gods chosen people and our own land
and then showed the extravaganza of le.
gAlized crime when practiced by gov.
eminent like ours. Foreign despots may
we'll wag their heads, &c, when they see
our dissipation. Legalized drunkenness
Il our national ain to-day. Assail this
sin and judges, jurors and legislators will
ny to its support.
In other respects our legislators would
do anything to ennobIe our people and
sustain our national glory, but in sup.
porting this they take the food from the
hungry, the clothing from the naked, and
deSpoil the energy and virtue Of her
noble sons. Consumption destroys slow.
" but surely; famine may cast ils mildew
upon the crops Of the husbandman, and
pe,ilIenee may be proclaimed by the cry
~ .he street, Bring out your dead" but
incompetence comprehends all these. II
Inites me certainty Of consumption with
the swiiIness Of famine and pestilence.
The liquor dealer dispenses il lawfully
indeed, but with what certainty he can
anticipate his work. " ~
How about liberty? Itdoes no, depoto
licentiousness, The law should give lib.
erly, but that Is not liberty which does
not protect the rights Of all.
The speaker then In very eloouen,
and touching manner described the
slavery and degradation OF the drunkard
making legislation responsible.
The iron and the copper and other ma.
terial used in distilling the poison are the
6eniiicent gifts OF the Father above, and
by being so used are distorted into a curse,
Llbertinism and intemperance are in
alliance, go hand in hand. We
would like to give this discourse more
July, but as We cannot do it and enter
INTO the spirit OF the speaker and enjoy
SHtrnly eloquent appeals to those that
have to do with the traffic OF spirituous
nqg0Fs, We hope you will pardon our
%'h'hness. Would that our Legislators
could have heard description given Of
Me Monster Of Bachaualisp and A dec.

In your issue for to-day you publish
in your BelIaire correspondence several
little filings at Gen. G. W. Hoge, and al
the Board ofSchool Examiners, Of which
he is a member. The complaint is that
the examination, held Wednesday, was
not fairly conducted, and, especially, that
the examination Of the applicant for the
position OF teacher OF German was severer
than need be. Whatever little force the
item may have will be lost when the iacl
