We published week before last letter. mum.

Lynchburg, to deliver speech here upon the
subject of the State debt. From the letter found
below 1t will be seen that Maj. Daniel has beer
compelled to decline, against his own wishes
end we feel no doubt that we represent the
sentiment Of a majority of our citizens, where
we express our regret at his inability to comply
with the invitation sent him. However wild
he may be on the subject of the finances of the
general government, he is "solid'' ON the State
debt question, and 1t is on this point that the
people of this county wanted to hear him. His
letter is as follows:
LYNoHBURG, VA. Sept. 9th, 1873.
Gentlemen 1T was my earnest hope and de.
you honored me to address the people of Au-
gusta and StauntOno on the State debt question
that might be able to accept it. And have
possible, make the opportunity.
The continued illness Of my grandfather, Mr..
Warwick, has prevented, and still prevents my
am constrained with regret to send my de-
clination, With my grateful sense of your COM
pl1mentary request
Could we make up our minds gentlemen,
with one accord, to settle instead OF seeking to
urasettle the State debt, all would soon be well.
Hoping that this spirit may soon animate all Of
us, and again regretting my inability at pre-
sent to offer my mite to this end,
am, with great respect, most truly yours,

ady are taken down, and the question is
asked by those yet on their feet. "Who
will be the next to fall?" But three
short weeks ago our city was active with
business OF all classes our people were
happy andprosperous, and the entire bu-
slness community. was in a cheerful tenn
per over the prospect of heavy and lu-
crative fall trade. Now our streets are
deserted, our stores and residences emp
ty, and out of population of more than
81, 600 barely 5000 remain, and of these
nearly 500 are in the grave, and perhaps
double that number lie suffering with
rasklng pains and burning fevers. But
three weeks have passed since the fever
broke out among us, and from six to
eight weeks must yet elapse before relief
can be extended and the fever checked
by the appearance of frost. The scenes
about the aid centres remind one of the
days OF war. Particularly does the
waiting crowd of et-holding people
about the COmmissary Department
awaken in the writer's memory thed.ays
following the capture Of the city of 'Sa-
vannah, when the people of starved
town, many the members of families
of the first social position, went daily to
take their place in long line and draw
the rations which the generous people
of the cities of the North had sent in
great sloop loads to the:suffering South
ern port. Here the crowd is made up
of negroes, who sit on the curbing, sit
on the pavement of the street beyond
the railing of the C0mmissary Depot,
and, clutching their baskets and the or
ders from ward committees, watch in
tently the large door and listen long in
vain to hear their own names prononnc-
ed by the black crier, mounted on the
box upon the windows ledge. The
crowd is four or five hundred in number
during the Iivelong day.

CAMP-MEETINas Of the Methodist
Journals are making war upon the present
mode Of conducting camp-meetings. It is al
legged that these are converted into excursion
parties, and that by encouraging Sunday trains,
with promiscuous travel, they utterly destroy
the religious consistency Of the old gatherings
that were instituted when the groves became
the only churches for pioneers or immense con-
courses Of people. Certainly camp-meetings in
the vicinity of large cities inevitably partake
Of the characteristics Of fairs and pcnics rather
than Of assembllages Of serious people whoprae
tically believe what Mr.. James Paxton has re.
gently theoretically written-that religion is
to many the only compensation for the ueces.
