Camp Meeting. On last Sunday quite an ormy of citizens went to attend the Camp Meeting at Mooresville. Everybody and his wife was there, and some of the young 'uns had quite a "good time" of it, especially coming home through the rain. No liquor of any kind was sold near the meeting, except Cronk's beer, and that is not liquor, but a , "pleasant and harmless beverage," and everything was conducted with perfect order and decorum. A Camp Meeting was held near Augusta this week, commencing on Tuesday and ending to-day, as we are informed. , There will not be so many attend this as if it were held over Sunday, as we are a working community, and always attend to business before pleasure.

Bigamy. Samuel H. A. Lukens, whose marriage we published on the 21st ult., we understand had another wife living at the time of his marriage, and has since left the wife he married here. A short time after his marriage ,he received a letter from his former wife, who was living in Ohio, requesting him to return. This letter fell into hands that made the matter known, and he immediately left. After he had left some weeks he wrote to the wife he married here that if she would rejoin him where he was, they could live together ; which offer she properly rejected. Pie is liable to be sued for bigamy, should he ever be caught.

" They've gone where the good Horses go to." It is a lamentable and melancholy fact, that " there is a place designed by the kind horsejockey's to which all fine, good and handsome horses go to," and " to that bourne from which no horses return," have been taken the fine pair of duns, owned by our neighbor across the way. All the fine horses seen in our streets are " but pilgrims from their birth place to" Cincinnati, where they are taken to market. Sorry we are to say this, but it is a fact, and we do most humbly petition and pray that the honorable, the Common Council, will levy n " protective tariff" on the exportation Osgood horses, to prevent their being taken off; if the same be not in violation of the treaty with Texico. We will report the action of the Council at their next meeting.

Connection of the Railroads. A joint committe, consisting of committees from Terre Haute, Madison, Bellefontaine, and Peru railroad companies, met in this city on the 15th inst., and united in recommeding to their respective companies, for confirmation, the construction of a union double track, of heavy T rail, connecting the several depots with each other. This is, in fact, making each line a continuation of every other ; as to the transit of through freight and passengers. It is expected that a joint Passenger depot will be established at some convenient point on this union line, so that all the lines will have a common depot. This is certainly a good idea, and will be a great convenience, both to the roads and the travel, ers. - " The man with the white hat" is in town; we saw him yesterday, and saw the amazed glances the innocent juveniles cast on him as he passed. For the benefit of the Ladies we will say, that he is not "the man that stares in the ladies' faces."

Police Items. The Mayor has been absent this week, and consequently no records appear on his docket. We find the following cases before Squire Sullivan. ' Will iam Stuck, for assault and battery on the body of Elisba Hoover, and enforcing his remaks with certain knockdown arguments, was fined a small sum, with costs. John and Mary Taylor, for threatening personal violence on Mrs. Wilson, were bound over to keep the peace. , ....... John Howard, was tried for altering and defacing a promissory note, but in the absence of either the proof of the fact, or any intention on his part to do so, he was acquitted.

Those Robbers are still lurking round the city ; we hear of them in different quarters, and would again advise all to prepare themselves and give them a warm reception should they appear on their premises. It would be well for those that are out at night to arm themselves, for we learn that two persons were stopped and told to deliver their money on Wednesday night last. An attempt at highway robbery, and nothing else. This is a pretty state of things, truly. Measures should be taken at once to ferret out and rid the city of these prowling desperadoes. Off for California. T. G. Palmer, son of N. B. Palmer, and Charles Carroll, arrived in New York just in time to start to California by the steamer of the 27 th, the same steamer that Mr. George M'Dougal left in. There are a number now making preparations to leave this fall, by way of the isthmus. When they get all their preparations made, we will give a list of them, and such other facts as may be interesting. Down, down, down. Last week we mentioned that the walls of the new Drake House were going up, up, up, but before our paper was distributed, the south end of the three story building in the rear came down, down, down, with a crash like an earthquake, scattering beau roes, beds, bedsteads, and books in every direction. Fortunately no person was injured. The rubbish has been cleared away again, and they are now hurrying up the walls as fast as ever.

More Circus bills are up at the Hotels. The circus will be here next month, and show in String-town.

We would call attention to the advertisements in another column, both of the St. Mary's Seminary , and the English, Classical, and Commercial Academy. Gone a Ducking.' This is what they say of a fellow in Arkansas who goes to sit up' with a young woman.
