Special Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR.
WASHINGTON GROVE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD,
August 10. !
The camp meeting at this place commenced this
morning. and everything is hustle and confusion
The wagons are busy conveying the household
effects and goods OF the tenterS to the camp, and
every one seems busy. The first day at camp for
those tenttng is not calculated to be one of ease
and quiet, and IS very apt to ruffle those OF the
sn0othest temperament. This thing is not right
and that thing can't be found, which in the hurry
of packing may be was left behind. These light
Affections, however, are fleetlng, ana by night
everything Will be in place, and those VINO have
labored hari during the day Will take their rest in
listening to the eloquent discourse that is to be
delivered by Bishop Andrews.
