ENING STAR. L INTELLIGENCE. Tae Cawp-Meerinc.—The professors of re- ligion at the Methodist Protestant camp-meet- ing, now in progress in Alexand-ia county, near this city, had a delightful day yes- terday, as many of present manifested much anxiety about theirsouls. The services fthe day at the stand, and the meeting for prayer in the different tents, were eagerly rtieipated in by many for the first time. The number of preachers present has greatly inereased. ym, we saw, in the evening, the Rey. Messrs. Sutherland, J. T. Marray, P. L. Wilson, E. Y. Reese, D. D., J. T. Ward, Thomas M. Wilson, Jesse Shreeve, E. D. Drinkhaus, Josiah Varden, Oliver Cox, and —— Westbrcox—all of whom appeared to be actively and earnestly engaged in the dis- charge of their respective and exciting duties The disturbances of Sunday last around the camp were the work of a band of desperate bane and thimble-riggers, principally from Georgetown, where they have earned the titlo of the “ Forty Thieves’’ by their many mis- demeanors. Those of Monday night were also the work of an organized band of persons, who, on that occasion, beat a poor negro mer- cilessly, and continued until a very late hour singing vulgar and blackguard songs, swear- “ing, blackguarding, aud blaspheming behind the tents, bat in the hearing of tie frightened ladies therein, yet keeping themselves as far as possible (by skulking in the bushes) with- out the reach of the respectable persons charged with maintaining order on and about the eamp-ground and protecting the ladies and children gathered there from the insults of vowdy rufians. We understand that warrants are being sought for the following named of the gang: Hezekiah Walker, two men named Burrows. Griffith Dulany, and Samuel Burch, of Caleb Burch, sr) The names of of them are known, and they will be ith through the law, doubtless, as soon dealt ¥ s as the citizens interested in the mectiag leave the ground. Inthe course of Sunday, another disgraceful disturbance took place, in which two young men from Alexandria, ramed Hewitt and Low, or Lowe, were conspicuous. We un- derstand that they, too, are to be taught, by the intervention of the law, the necessity of conducting themselves like gentlemen at such places. Tur Eprror or tux Treta —“* Why do you not get into some busin Mr. Robertson ?’* said a gentleman to thi inguished person- “ Why don’t I get into some business?” replied the gentleman in a tone of intense sur- prise, * why I’ve got plenty of business, and of a most important character.’ So it ap- pears Our friend is always busily engaged, effecting, according to his statemenis. import- ant ref-rm:—socialiy, politically, and philan- thropically; ever insisting upon jusiice, pe triousm, and the practice of morality.

Itis now August; aud we hear some complaints that thisties are abundant in certain sections of the city. a Mvsic.—Of late, the canines, al! over the city, have been amusing themselves by bark- ing and howling, to the great annoyance of our citizens. Occasionally, we heur the re- port of a pistol, probably fired at those noc- tarual disturbers of the public quict. It would require a good many explosions of that kind, however, to rid the community of the sur plusage of ‘-auimais of the dog jind.”’ But changing the subject: there was a happy re- lief to dog barking and howliag last 1ight. Between eleveu aud twelve o'eluck, the strains “Y: band enlivened several veigiborhouds ; may of our citizens were delightfully disturbed trom their slumbers by the iastru- mental melody. - Corporation Cases.—Solomon Hubbard, profanity, workhouse 30 days; Cath’ne Goldin, drank and disorderly, worahouse 60 days; Bridget Graney, profanity, five and cests: Bridget was also held to security for pear a case of assault: James Hogan, assaulting his wite, jail; Ann Hagan, the wite of James, druvk aod disorder.y, workhouse 60 days; George Juniman, selliug lijaor after 12 0'¢ at night, fined $20 aad costs; Ed ward Jackson, keepiog a dog without lice: se, fine and e: The ubove cases were di arabe of by Jast Bates, and were arrested by officers Wise. Simouds, and Stoddard, of the & districts. Dasiel Brown, dren, workhouse 60 uays—committcd by Justice Crandell. Tue Recetrra.—According to previous an- nouucement, the several boats entered for the race started this morning. As was reasonably anticipated, many persons hined the wharves and hiil-tops to watch the proceclings, while a number of persons went dowa the river in the steamer, on the trail of the racers. We shall to-morrow endeavor to furnish t.e pare ticulars of the contest. Mecaastcat Cits —At a recent election of this association, the following officers were elected : President, William Dowden; Vice President, William Eaton; Recording Seere- tary, Jacob Bontz ; Financial Secretary, Chas. W. Davis: Treasurer, William Goddard, Tax Kvyrsrs were last night, as hereto- fore, greeted with a crowded auditory, at Odd Fellows’ Hall. Their performances wero re- ceived with shouts of a plause. The only danger to be epprehendod ay attending their entertainments is a sore throat from excessive laughter! The Wells children material! added to the pleasure of the oecasion, and = received with repeated demonstrations of vor. — Tue Brormennoon or tar Ustos, a benevo- lent association, went on a pic-nic yesterday, to the White House. The company was just large enough to be comfortable on board the boat. They all spent their time pleasantly. and did not retarn until one o’clock this morn- ing. We learn that there wasa di point- ment about refreshments, but this defect was brats through the energy of the committee arran; its, who deserve much credit for their efforts to make the trip pleasant and agreeable. — ‘Tue Youne Carnouic’s Faieyp Society will, to-morrow, make their excursion to the White House. The advertisement gives the particulars as to the time of starting, tc. The net proceeds are to be appr riated to henevo- lent purposes, which shou! an inducement on the part of the public to patronize the en- terprise apart from the pleasure which the trip promises to-afford. Aw Atrraction.—This morning, about nine o'clock, after passing Seventh street, on the Avenue, we noticed a perfect rush of mer- chants, salesmen, citizens, and st: rs to the sirlewalks and gazing toward the ca: way. Upon inquiry we learned that the cause of the commotion was an incoherent speech delivered by a wild colored woman, who had been drunk sil night, and was on her way to the work- house. She was endeavoring to excite symp:- thy among those who had previously betriend- ed her. Taert.—While Me. C. W. Flint was at Ar- lington, on Monday, attending the festivities, somebody stole his horse and buggy. The rogue was discovered, aud, having been pressed abandoned the property in the vic: ity of Hoover's farm, and made good his escape. Bereuary.—The dwelling of Mrs. Leake, on Twelfth street, between L and M, was en- tered by burglars resently, and some articles of small value stolen. Waren Rervrxs.—Jane Robertson, drunk and disorderly, workhouse thirty days; John O'Dwyer, jr , vagrant, fine and security; Rob- ert Kaywood, drunk aud disorderly, fine and costs; L. Bowen, drunk, workhouse thirty d ys. * The Parliamentary Question. Wasnrxertox, D. C., Aug. 8, 1855. To the Etitor of the Star: Sim :—in the Board of Common Council on Monday evening, the previous question havin, beea demanded and seconded, and the usua: formula ‘Shall the main question be now Ve ’** having been decided affirmstively, Mr McCutchen moved that the Board adjourn Mr Clements said that the motion was not in erder. The President was about to decide in bis favor, but, on my representaiton of the case, decided that the motion was in order. Mr. Clements appealed from the decision | stated that, according to the parliamentary us:ge of ail legislative bodies, a motion t. tjourn was glwazys in order—meaning, 0 urse, whenever « member could be recog- sed by the Choir. Mr Qlements said that e rule of the Huuse of Representatives was, twhen tie main question Lad been ordered to be put, no motion whatever could be enter tained ; and that this was the invariable prac- tics of the House. The question on sustaining the decision of the President of the Board «1 | Comm n Council was lost by a tie yote—the Prestdent himself having, at his own request. been excused from yoting in favor of his own de Stud. * Tt would occupy too much of your s} ihe proceedings of that boiy on the 22d « May, i854, (as reported in the National 1. lig wile the Ne aton, it will be * the Whole With @ recommendation to ir.

JEFFERSON. Tae Panic at Portsmocrn, Va.—We deeply sympathize with our icliow-citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Gosport in their afflictions ; vat, if we are rightly informed by accounts to Monday evening, their afilictions procees from the fear of evils to come in far-greate: degree than from the past or present positive intlictions of disease, In Portemouth pro r, with a population of 10 000, after thirty days’ continuance of the fever in its vicinity, there have been but six or seven deaths proceeding from it; in Gosport. the infected district, coutai..ing a population ot 3,000, there Lave been but thirty-one or thirty-two deaths; and in Norfolk, with a pypuiation of 18,000. there bave been but twelve deaths, all traceable to Gosport, and at last advices there were remaining but two or three eases. In all there have been about fifty-one deaths out of an aggregate popula- tion of 32.000. At Gosport where the disease took root, a ee@usus Was recently taken of a row of six smal! two and-a-half-story houses, and they were found to contain 307 persons, and in the sec- ond story of one of them was a pig-sty, and a cow had recently been stalled in the basement of ancther. A knowledge of these facts is profitable only as it tends to show the influ- ence upon disease of uncleanliness, sloth. aud penury.—Nat. Intelligencer. Asorner AcciDENT From Kite Fryixne.— Anotber accident trom permitting children te ily kites trom the tops of houses occurred yes- terdap morning iu North Bund street by whie: «boy about twelve years old, named Joun Koons broke hisarm. He bad got upona shei iu the yard of his father’s house and let his kite go, and without looking where he steppea walked cff the front of the shed, falling head- long to the ground. His reght arm was bro- ken above the elbow, and his face and head were much bruised, though the distance he tell was only wbont twelve feet.
