Tho Cunip Meeting at Sandy Springs.
The camp meeting at this place parsed off
last week without an unusual degree of excitement.
A large number of persons were
present, and much interest was manifested
in tho ptjeachingof tho Word. Here thounh.
as at othor plnees, some vote to be found who
paid very little attontion to (he ministrations
from the stand, or the divine inliiienecs of tlic
Sabbath dr. jv; gor .'ally speaking, however,
the vast eoneouhic was well heliavei!.
Ui'v, Coi.in McaoiiisoN prcneliod the "eleven
o'clock sermon" on the Sabbath. but we
thought it fell short of what we had been accustomed
to hear at the same plario ruul hour.
In the afternoon, Kcv. Mr, Hi mvaix, by nature
eloquent aud pleasant, hold forth to an
undiminished audience for over an hour, with
considerable effect. His striking resemblance
to one, highly honored by this Congressional
district, was a subject of remark by many.
Tbo time-honored custom of ' taking up
collections" was duly observed as usual, and
the result, we are informed, speaks well for
?itn ?i,? ?
These annual gatherings of our M^iliodist
friends are c-horiphed by them most highly.
At Sandy Springs, for very many years, those
and other Christians havo ooinmumtd ho advantageously
and happily to^othoi', that it in
looked on now alir.ostus xacrcd ground ! For
those out of tho pale of the church, its irftonr?
rence is looked to with anything but an idle
interest-. True, evil Is sometimes intermixed
with tho good that is accomplished : hut nvo
not Satan's minions o very where to bo found,
dragging even the nngol.s down from on high ?
It will always be a pleasure to us to "pitch
our tent on this camp ground, for a few days,"
ho long ns 11 is nope up, nun the great gathering
to be scon hero yearly is proof; "aMong
as holy writ," (tint there are many others of
our way of thinking.
The meeting at Centre, in this district, is I
in progress, and the one at Pickensville com- ;
ineneea next week.

opposing sentiments ! Iveitt, in reality,
has committed most palpable political sui
cMo, ami has loft the field to Orr. The antiadministratiun
doctrine^ of tho former hayo
deotroyed tho confidence with which tho dem
ccratie party has favored him. A united party
is needed in tho House, to defeat the
strong opposition which the enemy will raise
there, ami lveitt is certainly not tho man aI
round whom every element of Densooracy will

higfi. On Friday tho wtorm rnged with mm- ' ,
bated fury. About II a. oil Friday, it I
was fir?t kliOwn to tho ptuxengeiH that the j
vessel had sprung a leak, and vr.as making
water vory last. Tho water gained on ux eo !
rapidly that the fires in the engine room wore
hoou extinguished. A line of men wpnt to f
work trailing from tho ongiuo toojii, and ro- ?
duced t!ic wutor hi tho hold, po that we were ,
nblo to get up jtCuin again ; but it was only j ,
fir a few minutes, the water again gained on J
ur?the, fuoH were again extinguished?nipl i 1
the engines* of the ill-filled steamer Pt.ipprd, 1 '
mid forever. Tho bailing was continued in j i
ill 1 parts of tho whip, and kept up until uhe | '
lii.ally went down. j ,
During Friday night the wntcr gained grad- I

worked to tho best of our nliilitv. iiiKiiirod In- I '

The fatal Saturday oauic at last, hut brought i
nothing hut incieased fury of tho wind ami |
t?oa : still tvo worked on. and about "Z o'olnek. |
p. \i. theatorm lulled a little, and the cloud* (
broke away. Ilopo was renewed, and all (
worked like giants. At 4 ;\ M., wo'spied a
sail and fin d gun#. Our tlag was at halfmast.
Oiir signals wero responded to, and *
tho brig Marine, of Huston, iHir^ down upon
us. Wo then comddoredHafotv oortain. The

into wliirlt the women and children were

of her, except at a distance which grow grea- ,
tor every moment.
At .seven o'clock wo saw uo possibility of
keeping hor much longer, although if wo
could do so until morning, all wouiU be.
saved. In a short time, a heavy sea for
tlu? lirst timo broke over her upper deck,
and hope faded away. Life preservers
Wore .supplied to all, and we sent up tworockets.
A tremendous sea now swept over
UB, and the steamer wont down in a moment.
I think some 400 or 450 persons
wero launched upon the ocean at the mcivy '
of it* waves. The storm nt this time had
entirely subsided. Wo all kept near to- '
go.thor, and floated as the waves took u;i.?
There was very little said except words of
ohqfermg or encourfcgoinonfi. ICijoh one
tried to cheer up his commie, and in this
way courage was kept up for two or throe,
hour#, and 1 think that in that spreo of
timo no one Vras drowned but those who
could not swim. We wore baoomiup gradually
exhausted, however, and one bv one
passed into eternity. Tho hope that boats
would be sent us from the two vessels spoken
of soon tied, and our trust wan alone
in l'rovidenoo. I saw my comrades fast
sinking; and at 1 o'clock a. in.,"on Sunday,
was nearly alono upon tho ocean, souVo
200 miles from laud. About an hour from
this time 1 saw a vossel, and judged her to
bo about, :a milo distant. Taking fresh
courago 1 struck out for tho vessel and
reached it when noarly exhausted, and was
drawn on board by ropos. It proved to bo
a Norwegian barque from Hulixe, Hon.,
hound for Kalmouth{ Krtff. I found on
board her three of my comrades; ami :it
9} o'elook Sunday morning wo had forty*
nine noble fellow* on board, and those are
all that. I know of being saved. Tllq barque,
sailed about the scene of tho disinter until
it was thought that all tho survivrtrs wow,
r6aeufed, and then set sail. We found the I
barque short of provisions, and.crew living
on.gruel. We had some tea and ooflfeo to
refresh'ourselves, and at noon on Sunday
spoke the American barque Saxony, who ,
took on hoard live.
Tho Norwegian bnrijue then set sail for 1
Charleston, (this is the Kloise reported at- <
rived at .Savannah?ICd. Standard,) with 1
the balance' of the passengers whose nam op i
