correspondence.

MIR. EDITOR We have scanned the
columns of the three last issues Of your
paper for one word about the grand
mass meeting recently held at Tnrling-
ton s camp ground, under auspices OF
the Good Templars.
We have been informed of the boat
races, trotting matches and the FAIR,
but never word for cause which has
fer its only end the elevation of human
lty. We were disappointed in not hav-
ing the pleasure of hearing Col. Carter
as was anticipated, but l do not believe
the world contains man better suited
to the occasion than the Rev. William
L. Hall who kindly consented to re
main with us during tile thee days.
though he had engagements elsewhere.
Mr. Hall s talent in imagery III lidicnc,
in sarcasm in palllos. in holding the
breathess attention of an.audence we
have never seen equallrd. In six sep
crate speeches he held the vast congre-
cations spellbound. We wish every
Eastern Shorenan could have heard
him Oh MAN. possibly they might
have gained such a high conception of
their dignity as never again to stoop to
anything degrading. Assistance was
given by Revs. Geo. Burke, Delaney
and Turner. The music VAS rendered
on a handsome organ, aided by cornet.
The finest order prevailed. John Bar
leycorn' only gave one whoop. The
meeting brought the long desired far
weather. Mr.. Halls speeches so
pleased the fances of his hearers. rs to
loosen their purse strings to the extent
of enabling us to raise SS6.24 to defiay
expenses. Mr.. Hall was SO pleased with
the people of Accomac that he has
promised to return again in October,
when every one should avail themselves
of the opportunity of life time, to hear
the grandpst orator who has eyr visl-
ted our State. The effort was great
success, and all true Good Tempars re-
turned to their homes with Il stronger
resolution to push forward the temper
ance work GOOD TENpLAR.
