[COMMUNICATED.] Cnmp Meeting at Boillag Springs. Dear New : Wedaeadaj a week ago, a brilliant Camp Meeting commenced at tbe above Camp Ground. On tho following Satur day your correspondent, in eompany with Judge lt. F. Graham, and a couple of friends, started for said place; and never ?stopped until our party were safely en sconced under the wigwam of our es teemed friend, Mr. Juhn'H. Livingston.-f *fely landed there, ?od assured by, a generous greeting oi our welcome, to enjoy on reel res wst a matter left to our own choice. A feeling of kiudly hospi tality radiated the face of every one of the good and noble countryfolk that tented there. And then tho Word o. ImW was preached as becomcth tho pul pit and the ministry of Christ. Camp Meetings are pleasant things, when properly conducted. They are conducive to the advancement of Chris tianity; and also to the civie enjoyment of the hundreds of young folks who go there for the purpose of enjoying them selves after the fk&hiou of the day. And theh (here are* ihn good old grand lira's aWd pas that Ifave visited ih-so Meetings for years, a-me of whose lurk* have grown white v?fh tbe fn?t of many winters.

I would give some of these old folks the benefit of know ing something of these mystic lign manu als of love, but f->r ir I niiu'ht have all the discoverers of th m "d wn on me like a thousand of bricks"?and thai I don't intend to do. But enough I say Camp Meetings are glorious thinga; glorious because of the beauty and pleasures that are to be seen there N<t must the spiritual benefits that accrue to many, by a visit, to t amp Meeting, be omitted to be mentioned here. Many there are who attend these place?, whose souls are deeply dyed in sin of the darkest hue, that are brought to a sensible conscinusoc*n ot th ir guill before Heaven. A new spirit, a ne\* life is born unto them, and they are made to lead a better life ; a life whose chief aim is to walk upright before God. But let me return to the beautiful young women, that all could rcgale their eyes upon ou the occasion to which 1 allude. All sorts and styles of beauty and loveliness were at Boiling Springs' Camp Ground. From the darling little lass, whose steps were as shy and coy as those ol the timid fawn, to the dignified and stately queen of a woman, decorated and made happy this coming together of joyous souls. And many hearts that hitherto slept defiantly in the breasts of the rougher sex, were awakened to a new song. Alas 1 for some of these 2 Many there arc who never loved before this oc casion ; and ' whiTn&^fi--^-:'Z& thought! could wish thst they had never experienced the passion at all; that Cupid hod not plunged his arrow so deeply iuto their souls. Why? Be cause Miss Cora's or Miss Minnie's heart was proof against their overtures of love. But let all such resort to the philosophic conclusion for eomfort: that a beautiful delusion is sweeter than a terrible reality. t But there was one in that beautiful array of loved women at Boiling Springs whose soft und fascinnting charms made their impression upon my heart As the constant dripping of water upon stone will lea e its impression, So did the uiagio tofiueiiee of her sWC t be.tutics full opon my -mi: folfWe I lie evanescent de WS ot t:.e .i jo-.- th.-rt tiie sun exhales, und toe) -<i? guUb/tm impression made upou .nr. h.of hecwuYi s p u t of my existence.

This . is generally the breaking up day of Camp Meetings. Prayer-meeting before break fast, and afterwards, a general ex or cat ion, ix the sequel to these happy end joyous oc casions. It is s sad sight to ait and witness this the end of suoh noble events. A basty running to and fro from all sides is the order on Monday morning. Wagous are packed with the utmost baste; buggies und carriages are crammed with pretty girls; last long farewells are looked by the love-sick maidens and swains, who never loved before J the good old grand mas and pas, ahake each other warmly by the hand, while a prayer escapes their quivering lips to meet ones again ? ere their glass of life is fully sped ;" and above all, the last, sad hour arrives for all to st rt. Thus it was at Boiling Springs. Fare well ! was whispered on all sides. And, melancholy thought ! your correspondent and his party bad to share the fate of all. We bad to leave. We whispered farewell 1 and all that remains to us of the bright and happy Boiling Springs, are its fresh and green memories; the thoughts that cannot die of tbo dear and lovely maidens that wo saw there ; happy oasis in the dull, sad garden of life's trials; sweet recollections of an gelio faces, and flute-like voicos ; and a warm gratitude for the hospitalities we received. JOANNES. ; Presentment of the Grand Jury? Fall Term, 187L mm ? Qj? i. m ?i^gj#asss?sl ? - - ? - s The Grand Jury bet? leave, most re spectfully, to report that the immediate disbursement of their expenses, while attending Court, falling upon their pri vate resources, in consequence either of inefficient legislation, or the improper execution of Jnw on the part of public Orficiiils, find it impracticable to dorotc such time to the investigation of public offairs as tbo interest of the County de mands. We have, bowevet, done the beat we could under the circumstances, and trust that the Court will bring to the att.'otioti of the proper authorities these obstacles which embarrass ??nie of us, so that the luturo Juries will havo nothing to pre vent a full and complete discharge of their duties. Our government is conducted upon s cash system so far as the collecting of tsxes are concerned, nod we see no res sou why the same carsh system shall not prevail in regard to the payment of its duos. We hate visited the Various Public Olli es. uftd sty far as otrr examination extended, we found the books und re- 1 cords in very good condition. We detfire, however, todVecf: the at entioti of the Cotirt to rt transition re cently perfected by t e New Iharrd of t'oimfy Comttiis-'iorrerS, which We regard as exlremi-tjf liijUnicidaM, L- is the pur 'J'liudeus 1 . Audrewp, Judge of Probate, .v.id she i* situated about a mite und a hall' from the ? (in11 flo?Be, and is said to contain twenty-iour acres. Wit uesses testily that .ho laud is how and wet, and in their opinion, unfit fur th . purpose for which it was purchased. 1 he Commissioners gave tor it as the 'titles ahow, eight hundred dollars, being ' ?33.33 per acre. Judge Andrews gave for the tracts from which this site was I cut ?KJ.12J for one, aud ubout $2.33 for the other. The Jury arc furthor informed that more suitable sites can be bought near the Town trout ten to twenty dollars per acre. The County Commissioners in justifi cation of their course, that thoy paid fur the laud in County Orders, and that a certain tract lying adjacent, owned by Col. A. D. Frederick cannot be bought for less than 8?U per acre. Witnesses, however, testify that Col. Frederick's tract here referred to is very valuable, and bears no comparison with the tract bought. And so far arpaying in County Ordjftr is onuoerued, the Jury are unable to perceive that the people will be re quired to piy anything less than the 1800, for when theso ordors aro present ed to tho Treasurer, we do not know of his having any authority to Cash them for anything less than their face. We racommend to the Court to take fnecessary proceedings at once to atop ithia transaction as the orders hare not yet- been cashed. The Grand Jury, in order to protect curtain evila desire to submit to the con sideration of our legislators the proprie ty of toe passage Acts to the following effeOt :\ 1st. That County Commissioners be made bonded Officers, and that all con nected With tho Office receive certain Salaries, and nothing extra. 2d. That no Couuty Officer be per mitted directly or indirectly to take part in Couuty Contracts 3d. That uo County Officer be al lowed to buy County Orders or speculate iu them ia any *ay whatsoever. Wc aio awaro that at the last Session of the Legislature this matter was reme died so far as Couuty Commissioners wero concerned; but wc think it best that the Act be extended to include all Couuty Officers. 4th. That tho Approvers of Public Bonds, be appointed among citizcus who are not office holders. It is the opiuioo of the Grand Jury that the appropriation for School Pur poses in this County has not been judi ciously expended up to this time. Teach ers have been palmed off upon the col ored people especially, who aro totally ?incompetent, and they have thus been deprived of the instruction which they so much need. Wc believe tb.it the education of the youug is our countries' only hope, and ou this account we de sire its advautages expended freely to all clashes, aud that nothing be permitted to check its progress. 'Wo arc glad to ?State that the Board of Examiners have adopted measures, which we think will secure oot of their money we regard as cruel in the extreme, and wholly inexcusable. Wc now come to matters of a differ ent character which have recently agi tated the public mind, and of which as Jurors, we feel it our province to take cognizance. It is said that a party of disguised men recently passed through our community, and posted notices in different parts, warning certain classes to desist from what they regaided an evil curocr. Who these individuals arc we are unable to ascertain. It is true that they committed no outrages, and molest ed uo oue, but wc regard this as no pal liation of their offence. If their aim wus, as thoy indicate, to correct tho abuses of the government the plan they pursue is inexcusable. There is no safety to a country and no guaran tee against civil commotion, if men are permitted to take law into their own bunds. No matter how corrupt and oppressive a government may be, as a Christian people we cannot ignore the Scriptural doctrine "to be subject to the powers that be." ^ Bot while we most unhesitatingly con demn these acts of lawlessness aud dis order, ne would respectfully invite those iu power, who feel an interest in the public wellare, care folly to survey the field, and remove ull possible Gairso of unlawful proceeding!!* by proper leyislu There are many evils uetfor which we are now groaning which could be easily Corrected, if our legislators were not carried away by a false id<a of freed m. It is indeed lamentable hat is so glar ing and so intolerable front the fact that it bears heaviest Open1 the hottest laborer, the buue and sinew of liic couutry*, that we cannot fail to bring it to the notice of the court. It is the illicit traffic in cotton. We do not censure the man who sells the goods as much us thoto who buy, from the fact that the former are mostly igno rant, aud the latter generally i.ave had better advantages, and ju - expected to do better. We desire to infringe upon the liberties of no mail, however humble he may he, All wo wish is that the grand objec of government, which is the happiness of the govei'Ued, should be j curried out. To this end we desire to make ajothcr recommendation to our legislators, which we trust they will consider caretully. It is to urge the adoption of an Act by tho next Legislature requiring each Store keeper to keep a Register, which shall he open at all tunes to public inspection. Said Register simply recording the uamc of cvory person selling produce of any kind, the quantity and kind of produce sold, and the dato of sale. And further that if it be proven that any Storekeep er baa neglected to .Register any name, he should be fined e certain penal sum. Such an enactment we look upon aa mild, yet stringent, and while it may curtail the freedom of the dishonest, it can have no such tendency with the up right. ^ Another ev^^n our County which we must bring to the attention of our legis lators is the tardiness in which the just debtB of tho goverumcut are paid. This wo regard as vor^injurious and inexcu sable. Thcro being no other matters suggest ed to our attention, we desire to say in conclusion, that although most of the business wc have beau engaged in during the two terms of Court has boon of a distateful nature, wc have waded through it all, impelled alone by a sense of duty, and all the favors we ask of the public, is that if wo have erred, our errors should be attributed where wo think they properly belong, to the head ai.d not the heart. Finally we think it proper to say that our rote upon this Presentment has been unanimous. S. R. MELLICH A MT, Foreman. SHAKES. Everybody in and around Norway Flat was acquainted with Shaken. Shakes was every one's favorite, and every one's laughing-stock. What his real name was, no one' on the Flit, ex cepting the Postmaster, knew or seemed at all anxious to ascertain. In outward appearance, be was a specimen of debus d humanity. Debauchery wrs indeli bly stamped upon every feature. It was deemed a rare sight to see him with a clca3 face. Streaks of gjrsy forced tin i , v".?j? ? 11 sas that clung to his long matted locks nod untriiumcd beard. A coarse blue wool en overshirt, with tattered sleeves, cov ered his back, from whence many doubted whether it had baen removed since tho day ho first put it on, m Orif fin's store, twclvo months at^o*. His duck pants had completely lost their original whiteness, and wore tucked into a well worn, much patched pair of gum-boots The veritable felt bat. Worn by him iu '52, still maintained its usual position on the side of his head. The only change it had apparently uudergor.e since thcu was that a piece of and rubber coat now sonstituted the crown. Shake's history, outside of the prc cincts of Norway Flat, was wrapped in complete mystery. Even tho timo of his arrival iu the camp was unknown. Brown, the propriety of the "Occiden tal" Norway Flat's principal hotel, drinking and dancing-saloon?and also oue of the pioneers of the place, asserted, "Shakes pumrued around hero when I fust 'rived, :u '52." It was generally be lieved that he bailed from the temper ance State was no the coutral able reput] * 'whiskey k sown bii| Flat "out t lve?C cons^ tmu ma ly ntrccmnl A loholyj side.

It was seldom shut a coin passed from Iris hands to t^o harkeepcr's drawer ; but drink he must have, and somehow or other he always ntomaged to obtain it. The manner in which it was obtained was but a peenndury consideration to bin?. Nothing was too humiliating or too- degrading for him to do for it. Wlwsn beguHig failed, strategy wos im mediately resorted- tc, and in rbis be was invariably successful. Ho would enter the saloon, go up to the bar with thumb und forefinger inserted in bis pocket, and address the bar keeper thus : "I say, ba--keeper, hurry up; give u\6 a 'brandy ftraight.' " The bar-keeper would first* Cast a glance at the position of the Hund, and would UDcooccrocdly drink. ' Here's luck," and retire from the counted with out paying. "Ho, Shakes!" "Eh?" "Gome and see me." "No, thankee; don't feel like it now ; jest had un." And the bar-kecper learned thst he was duped once mere, but dared not at tempt to punish his deceiver. The in dignation of the entire camp would mo-it assuredly fall upon the individual v>? o dared to abuse Shakes. lie was Nor way Flat's "privileged character." "Likes his whiskey, I know; but he's a harmless, good-natured old devil for all that," was tho 6entim?-Dt universally expressed by tho members of that little mining community. Inebriate as he was, Shakes was not indolent. He was always, in sunshine or rain, engaged in chapping cord-wood, or in riving shakes-?long shingles; from which latter occupation he received his nickname. The pun roso on Shakes entering the woods; it set upon him making a "bee-line" for tho "Pony Sa loou." Fire-wood wos worth $G a cord, and shakes 810 a thousand, in those days, on Norway Plat Shakes always chopped fruni two to three cords per day. Three doilars a cord ho paid -'Billy the boatmau," for hauling it, which, of course, considerably diminished his earnings; still, there was a good margin left. How it came to pass that he should always bo poor, could never be satisfactorily explaiued. His condition of being, what ho termed "flat broke," was pateut to all, and was considered of the mysteries of his peculiar life no one cared to solve, aud accepted unques tioned. Norway Fat, since the time of its dis covery in '52, had contiuued to be a prosperous mining camp. The fabulous yield of mauy of its claims had been re ported iu the columns of the leading P^ap^pern frfffia civiiixWd fOJij^ Nttm erous opportunities had been offered Shakes to become the possessor of ground of a promisiug character, subsequently proving rich. Mining, however, pos sessed no sttrsetiocs for him. There existed no nfliuity between his nature and the excitement of the avcrago gold turner's life*. Ho never owned a foot of mining ground, "snd didn't intend to," he was accustomed to say ; "I go fur the sure thing.H Even when the Wake-up Jake Company struck a two-ouncce-to tbe-pan prospect, Shakes declined stak ing off the adjoining ground, then re cant, and upon which ho was at the time chopping wood. Tho same piece of ground afterwarn proved tSo richest spot nu the whole Fist, nearly 1,200 ounces being obtained from it as the proceeds of one day's washing. This lack of enterprise?this disinclination to ven ture?was supposed to be the morbid offspring of his dissipated career. Tho only things for which he appeared to have any care wcro his axe, cross-cut saw, and frower. Thoso constituted his entire htock in trade, and for them he omething bordering upon af aa viewed ss one of Norway res. It had been settled long minds of its inhabitants that on hi decay in the little ceme knell overlookirrg the Flat, f his removing was never for utviiatueu by anyone i-u that j minunity. Shakes and Nor rd grown up with ouc ancth y Flat was Shakes'* home, sod a home elsewhere, he ccn heard to speak of it. er of '59 had set in. It was middle of November. The covered with several inches he tinkling of sleigh-bells was heard in the distance, and the little town ou the Mat was instantly thrown into a commotion. It was all ocea.? ion od by the arrival of "Barnard's Monthly Express.' The arrival of the express was an important event in the otherwise monotonous routiue of cvery-day life at the Norway Flat; for bo it remembered that the era of wagon roads sud railways had not then been iiiauguatcd-, and com munication between that mountain re treat and civilisation was at best infre quent and uncertain. Among the anx ious faces awaiting tho opening of the little wicket of the Post-Ofucc and the distribution of letters appeared that of Shakos. Shortly afterward he was ob served intently perusing a letter. "Dam'd'fl don't mako tracts fur hum," lie suddculy exclaimed, and aa suddenly bade farewell to Norway Flat and it;; : uvrouudiurt*. That evening Shakes wee missed from hit usual haunts, and it soon became generally known that he had left the Flat. This was en unprecedented episode in Norway Flat's history. Noth ing had ever occurred before to disturb its nlform equanimity, excepting the shooting of Bad AKefc tv R:i*iaff Kttt in a moment of frerrtied excitcraeut, pro* dooed in the heat of a discussion sat to* the merits of the parties then engaged in the Crimean War. Hie depattoW wss tho universal topic of conversatlee around every fireside and in every 00* room in the camp. The speculations' to to the cause were as varied as they #tto improbable. The thermometer at Browria that evening, indicated 15? below sero; hist no fears Were harbored in the mind of any one as to the safety of the one WOO had so tfrfccrenloniouftly left thVf ommf "homeward bound." Weeks passed on, and nothing nad been seea or heard of Shakes since Mat deparfare. Norway ft* had almost fbr' gotted him. Brown, the landlord of the "Occidental," was standing in hht doorwsy, gsting abstractedly at the disV tant winding* of the "down country" trail. It was only the previous day tint a prospective party had passed asuimj l> from the Flat, dounb for the desnrted mining csmp of Diggcra Delight, start led sbcut tea miles distant. His thoughts naturally recurred to their de partuie and prospects. Suddenly, hit quick eye detected in the distance a group of men skrwly trudging toward tho Flat, and was somewhat astonished to recognize in them the prospectors of Diggers' Delight returning, hearing with them a heavy burden. The r/tfwa spread that Shakes bad been found st Diggers' Delight. It was evident night had overtakon him there, and be had determined to spend it in one off the deserted ah?nfre*. The bad i^u$fl8e*~** ready for the match; but it unktndled. Why, no one could The verdict of all wh> heard thw , was that be had fallen a victim to severity of the weather on the of the day be left the flat, or, as1 t&?y cxprcascd it, "friz dead.'' In an rands pocket of a vest underneath his ragged over?hirt, a ] et of leitet? wan found, all of which; written m the same handwriting, and* addressed to "Jarnos Wilkcnsoo, Esq., Norway Flat." Sundry photographs were also discovered in the same pookot ?one of an aged lady, another of fj Wo man in the prime of Kfc, arid thw xtof of three beamiful girls of from tarnt* mf. teen- years of age. All the letters the same post-mark, "-, Me.' envelope Was endorsed !o pencil mark, ?Reed. (date1,) W." One of them was indorsed, "Heed. Norr. 17, >85Sr, J. W."
