RocY Mount IrEMs.-Tho great
annual athcring Of tho colorod
people at Camp Welfare has tran.
spircd. The plat upon which thore
meetings are held was purchased
several years ago from Mr.. G. II.
McAIastor. They havo ercctod
quite q comfortable arbor, which
will scat about three thousand per-
sons, and about one hundred cabins
suitable for brief occupancy.
The sermons on Saturday were
scattering shots but tho Sabbath
services to some extent atoned for
Saturdays short couings. Rev.
King, p. g., and Dublin Walker of
Chester each preached q sermon,
which was quite creditable TO them,
all things considered. The tont>
holders arc kind and hospitable 80
the few whites that visit them.
No sermon that we heard was in
tcrlardcd with politics: We think
politics was in tho background, if
thoro at all; Order was well main
tanned by an efficient and polite
police. Rules for the government
of the encampment were made daily.
The colored people are very emo
tional, and if the contortions Of tho
body arc tho work of tho spirit, it
is truly remarkable. We should
guess, however, from a talk by Rev.
MIR. King, that tho evil spirit was
there too. While the morals iii thp
immediate vicinity Of tho stand
were uneNccptionablo, some persons
on tho outskirts of the encanpment
wero engaged in selling whislSey,
playing cards and practising other
vices. We SHOULD think about four
Thousand persons were there on the
Sabbath, from four OF five different
counties. If the expenses arc only
ono dollar each, it will require one
hundred bales Of cotton to foot the
bill. GuNrER.
