The Camillus.--We have received a letter from Elder Curtis E. Bolton, dated latitude 25 degrees, longitude 51 degrees, May 4th. Elder Bolton says that the company were all healthy and well, that they were becalmed at the time of his writing us, but that they had a remarkable run, not a hard wind, not a wave, having sailed smoothly along at from 7 to 12 knots an hour. He says that God had remarkably blessed the company, and that the captain had been very kind to the sick, having fed them from his own table. There had been on board, one death, of a child three weeks old; one birth, Sister Mc'Knight, of a daughter; and two marriages [p.395]
