To tke Editor of the U nion-Rerald : We request a place in your columns that we may deny, in most solemn oi-m, the false and infamous charge of muer-brought out against us by the men who confess under oath that they did the bloody deed. The mnen who have instigated those wretched crimi mais to accuse us of having conspired -with them in the cold-blooded assassi nation, of Dr. Shell, in 1868, have their own blood dyed red with the blood of the innocent, whom they -slew. for their political opinions. Dr. Shell had never inflicted any injury upon,us or upon any of our kindred. We had no motive to seek hiA life. Those who know us best will admit, unless blinded by political hate, that there has never been any thing in our conduct to justify the conclusion that we were capable of plotting the assassination of a fellow man. Hunted and persecuted as we were for years in Laurens county, ~olely because of our political opinions, 'and well knowing who were the leaders in1' that persecution, if we had been -capable 'of seeking our revenge along the path- of the assassin, those leaders Swould not be living to-day to instigate this most malignant and groundless charge .against us, which rests alone upon the statement of the avowed principals in the deed of blood. We shrink from no judicial investi gation, and stand prepared to meet nur accusers face to face in the courts. O0sEPH1 CREWS, J. ADAM CREWs.

The most exciting and interesting news now before the public is that which bears reference to Joseph Crews, who, it is now well known, is chargeda with the authorship of the murder of Dr. Shell in 1868. The Union-Herald is authority for saying that on Wed nesday last lhe was in the city and did not look as if badly scared. It may be taken for granted then that he was scared a little. This was after his passage through Newberry, and on that occasion the assertion of the Union-Berald is corroborated by sev eral persons, who state that he did not seem much scared, although he seemasd a little worried, and was quite reticent util be reached the telegraph office, where he dispatched to Speights, of the News, as follows: - NEWBERRY, June 15, 1875. A. M1. SPEIGHTS :-You make a big fuss, but you can neither scare nor hang worth a d--. I JOSEPH CREWS. ( And here the matter rests, that is, I there are no further developments, nor any arrest. Speights, however, is tena cious and hangs on to the idea that I Crews must be hanged, which every honest man will agree to if he be t guilty-and there are many here as well as in Laurens who have believed, 1 from the time the murder was comn mitted to the present, that it was one of his jobs. The charge is a serious one, and seems well sustained. and the matter should be sifted thoroughly, so that if be really and truly guilty a just punishment should follow. The day of revelation has dawned, and many a hidden crime will be brought. to light. Why no arrest has been made is a mystery. Since the above was put in type, the Columbia papers make the an nouncement that Adam Crews, the son, who it is alleged acted as leader. of the murderous gang, in carrying out the villainy of the father, was arrested on a warrant by Capt. H. C. Alley, on Saturday afternoon last, and lodged in jil. An effort, we learn, was made to have himu released on 'a writ of habeas corpus. It is stated that lhe did not try to evade the arrest.

As promised in last issue we now ;ive a brief account of our recent -isit to the prosperous town of Green rood, as well as a few points in regard o the late interesting Conference of he M. E. Church, embraced in the ,okesbury District of which the Rev. danning Brown is the Presiding El ,er. It was not our good fortune to ie there at the beginiiiiig-Wednes ay-and not until Friday, in compa y with Uncle Mark Boyd, (the pa riarch of New Chapel.) did we put n an appearance, consequently very auch was lost, spiritually and tempo ally. But the last of the feast was erhaps better than the first, and the ime spent then was of the pleasantest haracter. It has never fallen to our At to attend a better District Meeting r to sojourn with a kinder or [ore hospitable people. We are pleas d to say too that Newberry town and ounty was largely represented, and hat whatever we may say of meeting r people will be corroborated by each ad every one of those who were in ttendance, and it may not be amiss a this connection to give the names f the delegation, clergy and laity, ron this section, which are as follows: tevs. R. P. Franks, Thos. G. Her ert, M. M. Boyd and L. T. Beatty, rith Messrs. Jacob Sligh, T. V. Wick r, T. S. Moorman, T. F. Harmon, V. W. Summer, L. C. Longshore, V. W. Waldrop, Pettus Boyd, G. P. Xromer and lady, and Miss Hattie 3oulware, and our humble self. A retty fair representation out -of the otal number of forty-five ministers nd laymen. Thus it will be seen hat Newberry has an ambition to keep n the front rank in religious as well s other interests, and she is not proud ither, at least not now, whatever may ave been the feeling before the Dis rict Meeting which took plaoe here n 1870, at which time it will be re aembered Bishop Wightman pretty harply rebuked a young brother for aying that he was proud. Said the 3ishop, pride comes of the devil. inee then, Newberry Station and Jircuit have discarded the word ride, pomp and other coiilcomitants .rc of the past. This brings us to say that the 3ishop was present on this occasion, nd won all hearts by his exceeding tinliness and affable manners,,.and he two sermons preached by him, the ine on Friday morning and the other in Sunday, were delivered with his sual impressiveness and eloquence. Ee also addressed the Sabbath School :hildren of all denominations in the 3aptist Church in the afternoon of sabbath, in which he was followed by ur townsman, T. S. Moorman, Esq. )n each occasion there was a perfect am, and had the church edifices been wice as large they would have been illed. The largest and densest crowd vas packed away in the morning at he Methodist Church. Not a mnite f space but was occupied by the sit ing, (the fortunate ones,) standing, Eneeling, sprawling audience. It was ~sight' A Bishop has wonderful >owers of attraction. Before getting ~way from this point we would say hat the half-past eight o'clock ser rice-Love Feast-was one of the est we have ever experienced, it was rery largely attended besides. As the regular business of Confer me was of a varied and comprehen ive character, consisting of reports of :harges, Church and Sabbath School, mnd discussions on education and other terests of the Church, a notice is mpossible in a brief article such as his, therefore we pass it all over and nly allude to the interesting fact that 1 .500 were subscribed to Wofford 1olege Endow ment Fund, and that a esolution was adopted asking the An nal Conference to give Coiresbury chool a portion of the Conference Educational Collection. Both of these were important results. The next District Meeting will be held at Bethel Cap Ground, in Laurens County. The following were elected delegates :o the annual meeting of the South arolina Conference which takes place it Orangeburg, on the 16th December 2ext: T. S. Moorman, R1ev. M. M. Boyd, Thos. F. Harmon, J. T. Parks. Now a word or two for Greenwood md people. A first impression on anding from the cars in the hottest art of the day is not flattering '.o the :own-this .was our thought. The ma was scorching, shade trees not yet lanted, stores distant one or two hun Ired yards, and scarcely any of the iely inhabitants to be seen. Confer ne was in session, committee en aged, and Friday stragglers not look d for. Were met by Capt. Parks, who hinted hotel, cool ablution and linner. We took hint, proceeded to otel in the Captain's buggy, abluted md dined, and felt ninety-five and a half per cent better. A noticeable ~eature about the business centre is hat the stores are all three or four ~et from the ground and are reached >y steps, the object of this elevation wec did not learn, but suppose they wvere built at out the time the song 'Suh a getting up stairs," occupied mubli antion. Did not see many Lestcr, M. Taylor, and A. M1. Aiken, the latter a eneral guano agent; there is a large carriage factory besides, managed by J. W. Rowland. We had nearly forgotten to mention the fact that Mrs. Richter is the presiding deity of a first class miflinery estab lishment. In addition there are black smitli, wheelwright, cobblers and paint eis shops, and a newspaper, the New Era, which, though mentioned last, is nut the least. Mr. Blake is the editor of the Era, and we are glad to say that the people of Greenwood appreciate his efforts by a lib6ral sup port, notwithstanding the fact that there are three other papcrs in the Countv--the Abbeville 3ledium,Press & hinner and the Presbyterian. The people are heavily taxed by the Press, but they stand the pressure. Mr. Blake is the only lawyer-this fact may account for the religious tone of the people. There are three schools -one feuale, under the charge of Miss Devore, an accomplished lady. Mr. Thos. Duckett, formerly of New berry. one of the best educators of the time, has a male school with a pretty fair number of pupils. He is much esteemed by the people. The other is a mixed school, boys and girls, un der the efficient charge of Mr. Samuel Boozer. There aie several doctors, Dr. Naxwell the most popular and sueTcessful. le is an agreeable and accomplished genitleian and stands high in his profession. At his pleas ant home we had the double satisfaction of meeting with an auiable lady in the person of the Doctor's wife, and Miss Lizzie, the charming daughter of a good Edgefield friend, Mr. J hn Hollincgsworth. But w6 are getting on too fast. Leaving the business portion of Greenjwood behind,and advancing into the interior, we found that a large pro portion of the dwellingys are built in handsome modern style. with consid erable display at ornamentation. The effect is very pleasing. Most of the dwellings, too, are rendered very at tractive by handsomely laid off gar dens, in which the most beautiful flowers are displayed. The water is the purest and coolest we have ever found outside of a mountain country. It is no wonder to our mind that with so many natural and arti ficial advantages the people of Green wood are refined, clever and hospitable. We would like to mention the namies of many who helped to make the meetifig pleasant and our brief sojourn agreeable, but we will only add in ad dition to those already named, Mr. Duckett and family, Mr. Anderson, the genial railroad agent, and his clever lady, and Gen. Jas. Gilliam, the latter almost a centennarian, for he is in his 85th year, and as active and enter taining as many men of only half his years. The General, though not so wealthy as before the war, is in easy, comfortable circumstances. HIe can read large print without glasses, and cei -write a plain, business hand as rapidly as a school boy. We were pleased to see him at church twice on Sabbath, morning and night, and to hear his voice joining in the songs of praise with sonorous effect. He is certainly a well preserved man and bids fair for many years yet. We had almost forgotten to mention that Greenwood is the home of the Rev. Thos. Pope, formerly of Newberry, who is beloved by his large congrega tion-dined with him Saturday agree ably-has four interesting children the style of all ministers. We fear you are wearied, reader, but the account could hardly have bcen given in a smaller compass, and we will close by saying that Greenwood is pronounced by the New berry delegration as one of the first places, and that to her kind and hos pitable people much of the success of the District Meeting is due. One incident and we are done. On Saturday night in the Methodist Church we noticed that which moved us to a great internal depth. Our friend, Capt.--- with acharmning lady comipinion, about whose future Madame Rumor is very busy, had a front seat together, there was just room com fortably for two who could appreciate the situation, but not quite enough if there had been no reciprocity of feel ing. The Captain is a gallant man, and a quick observer; he saw in front a window with closed blinds; he would give the people near more air; leav ing his seat with a handkerchief upon it to show that it was occupied, lie proceeded to the window, opened it and returned with downcast eyes, for he could have found the place blind fold, but alas, wvhen lie stopped and looked up his seat was occupied by a lady and gentlemen who had just dropped in without intention of in truding. lie was for a moment at a loss, but finally retired. How much we sympathized with him. We have not room now to write, but we did feel powerfully moved to tell the other young man and woman that they had done a big damage and must be care ful in the future. This is all, reader. Go. McD). Miller, the last Colonel of Orr's Regiment, issues invitation to the members of the regiment to The headquarters of the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, which, ever since the organization of the order in 1868 have been in Wash ington, will probably be removed to Louisville, Ky., in a short time. At the last annual session of the National Grange, in Charleston, S. C., in Feb ruary last, the Executive Committee r was charged with the selection of a c new point for headquarters, to be d located in one of the five Western States named, and the change was to be made within six months from the 1st of March last. The committee, it is understood, have, after due investi gation, selected Louisville as the most eligible location. although it was ex- i pected that St. Louis would be chosen. i Kentucky stand No. 5 as regards the number of Granges, having 1,559. Indiana leads the list with 2,027 Granges. Missouri has 2,026, Iowa 2,004, Illinois 1,584, and Kentucky 3 1,559. The total number of Granges - in the United States is 23,500, with i an estimate aggregate membership of i 1,500,000. The official history of the s order, just published by the Secretary, shows that the total receipts from 1868 to 1871, inclusive, were less than $5,000, while the receipts last year $216,381. The order at present has $69,000 invested in Government bonds and $19,000 in cash on deposit at the financial agency in New York. The "Sun," published at Blackville, S. C., by Messrs. C. H. Hall & Co., is a spicy, well gotten up sheet. We acknowledge receipt of second number, and wish it success. FoR THE HERALD. Camp Meetings. Camp Meetings had their origin in 1799, in Kentucky. Presbyterians and Methodists were united in those meetings in their com mencement. At one meeting in Kentucky, it was estimated that twenty thousand were in attendance, and several hundred were con- 1 verted to God. Those meetings (for the most part) were soon left to be carried on mainly by the Methodist Church, many of whom have ever regarded them as a means of grace, which should not be given up. There is a philosophical reason for their continuation. 1 All establishments have their great occasions for the purpose of exerting an influence upon the masses. Colleges have their Commence ments. Political associations have theirgreat occasions; and the Church of God under the Jewish dispensation had her feasts which called the children of Israel to Jerusalem to] spend' several days together. The feast of] Tabernacles, was an occasion when they dwelt emphatically in tents. The church in this day must have extra occasions-of these let the camp meeting be conspicuous. The philosophy of camp meetings is equally ob vious when we consider the advantage of protracted devotion to God in the use of public means, rhe ordinary services of the church are interrupted by frequent intermis sions. The mind jaded and perplexed with worldly interests, hardly gets fixed on the subject before it must be diverted. Th is sug gests the reason why the Jewish feasts were exitended to such lengths. Infinite w-isdlom saw that it was necessary to extend those feasts in order that minds dead to religions interests, might be held in contact with bet ter spirits; listen to the law and be drilled by protracted effort. Camp meetings like those feasts, abstract us from care and conflict about temporal things'for a time, and place u.s for days together in contact with the means of grace, which invariably results in good to a greater or less extent. For camp meetinas will bring together many christian spirits; those possessed of divine or religions. influence, and such as are well -informed in the science of salvation. They delight to talk of the knowledge and love of God; to sing praises to God and tell of His goodness. Thus an influence is exerted upon the sloth ful professor and the impenitent, which.often results in the improvement of the one and the conversion of the other. Camp meetings are remarkably adapted to the conversion of sinners. That sinners are convinced of sin, and the necessity of be coming pious, under ordinary training, is true; but then they are hindered often by circumstances. One hindrance is their rela tion to unconverted persons. They are con nected in business (or otherwise) with per sons wh osa influence is against religion. To change their course under the circumstances would expose them to persecution. Here is a difficulty, which taken in connection with the frequent apathy of the church, is quite sufficient in their judgment to deter them from duty. At the camp meeting these impediments we in part removed; while under the con stant infinence of the word of life they are brought to yield, although'they had resis ted all ordinary means previously employed for their salvation. Hundreds and thousands now in Heaven received their first religious impressions, and were converted to God at camp meetings. These, such as are now living, are not all found in the Methodist Church-but many of them are found connected with the differ ent branches of the Church of Christ in the land. Many of our own Ministers, and some in other religious persuasions, were brought to Christ at camp meeting. We know there are objections raised against camp meetings, and there are objections raised against many other things. Says one objecter, they are occasions of evil. We know that many wicked people attend them, and sometimes behave badly! But before we condemn camp geetings on that account we should remember that these persons were wicked before the meeting w.as appointed, and would have been profane anywhere else; they float together on any and every occasion, whether it be a religious occasion or not. The only difference the camp meeting makes with them is, it changes the scene of their crimes, and in some respects the nature of them. But camp meetings are not responsible for their conduct, and will not be implicated by i t. It is no new thing for the enemies of God to disturb his pe~ople. In Job's day it was so--"Satan came also among them!" But God's people were'not blamed on that ac count, nor did they see cause to abandon their meetings. Will politicians abandon mass meetings because people do wickedly in many instanees on such occasions? Shall there be no courts? Shall we have no sale-days because ikople at such places commit sin? Shall the ballot-box be given up because some men use improper means to secure their election? No, says every thinking mind. Then why condemn camp meetings because some go there to display their ignorance and folly! If the abue of camp meengns be a valid argument. FOR THE HERALD. MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., June 16th, 1875. EDITOn HERALD:-A stroll on the 'cach here now is not without interest ) one who is alive to nature, and the iteresting forms of animal and vege Ln k able life he encounters.

In some of the r Lsiatic islands the spine is used by the c avages for pointing their arrows.

All eyes were strained in the direc ion of Sullivan's Island Point, near which the starting judge, Mr. E. 0. Rall, .had anchored his boat, the "Old Buck." The terminal judge, Dr. J. Y.

At 3.37 o'clock a gun from the starting oat announced that the three White aall .boats were in motion. On they same, the crew of each boat bending to ;heir oars in fine style.

When all worked so well and so 2arly even in the friendly emulation, iscrimination is not so very pleasant, ut as cheer upon cheer died away upon1 :he waters, the Doctor announced the result, followed by a neat speech, in yhich the participants were highly omplimented upon the proficiency ex aibited by them, and the pleasure thus rfforded the spectators.
