NOTES FROM THE CAMP.MEETING.

CAMP GRoUNDs, Sunday, July %, 1877.
EblToR STAR: The attendance here
to-day is estimated at 5000. There were
two extra trains from New Orleans,
carrying twelve or fifteen cars each,
though most of the passengers went on
to Biloxi. Boats are constantly running
from here to Biloxi and Ocean Springs,
A friend OF ours wishing to obtain q
conveyance from Biloxi to this place, a
distance of two miles-and a splendid
road-was asked f3 for a seat in a cab.
Truly cheap (?) ride; the boats were
only asking so cents for the round trip
Fare on Ocean Springs boats was also
cheap, and masters extremely polite.
The "Centennial, the beautiful yacht
chosen by Commodore Nelson for his
pleasure trip along the coast, was the
most conspicuous ia tho fleet, her flag
red. white and red-h oating gracefully
from the topmGs'. A great many per-
sous have been converted already, and
sm told thBt the pumber of conver-
sions exceeds that Of last year. Last
evening fofty-oue persons went up and
embraced Methodism, and tonight the
same number are expected to follow
their example.
BILOXI.
This beautiful village, go we'll known
to pleasure parties, was crowded to-day,
aud although having six large and ele-
gantly furnished hotels, restaurants,
etc, they were unable to accommodate
all of their visitors. Biloxi can boast
of having beautiful base ball green,
and can place upon it some of the best
players that ever handled bat on our
coast. The r. T.. Lee base ball club is
too well known TO your readers who are
admirers OF the game for Us to give
them praise. One Of the leading clubs
of New OrleeDs-the "Columbias -
crossed bats with them to-day, and de-
feated the Biloxi boys by a score OF
5 to 4. This is, so far, the best game of
the season. After camp-meeting is over
you will hear OF some very tight games,
for ch club seems to have an idea that
the belt for the championship OF the
coast is for them.
We are told that the picnic at Oak
Grove was success, and the convey
ance that was in waiting for you drove
away very much to our disappointment.

The Logging Company.

In this paper will be found letter from
Washington to the Chicago Times, in re-
lation to Thad Pound aud the saw mills OF
Wisconsin. against the Logging Company
and the saw mills down the river. That's
the gist of the controversy. The Logging
Company want to raft logs down the river
to supply saw mills all the way down from
Wisconsin pineries to St. Louis, while the
Wisconsin mill owners want to saw all the
lumber up there and float it down and sell
it, thus breaking down the mills along the
river and throwing thousands of people
out of work along the river towns and
greatly injuring the general business of al
those towns. The article from the Time
was evidently inspired by the interes
represented by Thad Pound.
Mr.. Weyerhauser, of this city, presiden
Of the Logging Company, with othe1
members of the company,is in Washington
looking after the matter.
