The Camp-Meeting.

By Editor

THE editor sends a dispatch from the camp-ground, stating that business detains him so that he will not be present before the paper goes to press.

We had hoped to give our readers more reports of business meetings, and a partial camp-meeting report; but this is impossible.

The reports will appear in full next week.

We can say, however, that the meeting was the largest ever held in California.

A census was taken after the meeting had been in session five days, which showed that over 600 were encamped on the ground.

Others were still expected to arrive.

This was much better than was expected, considering the lateness of the season.

All were cheerful and of good courage, notwithstanding the rain, which was at times very heavy.

We think the reports will show that the meeting has been the best as well as the largest ever held in the State.
