[8 July 1861]

Religious exercises were held at the recruiting quarters of the Anderson Zouaves, Union-square, yesterday afternoon, Rev. Mr Russell officiating. A sermon was also preached in the evening, at the same place, by Rev. Mr. Harris. The large attendance which characterized these meetings when they were first commenced, has considerably decreased since the Zouaves have been encamped at Salter's Bay, N. J., the presence of the soldiers at the tent, doubtless, having much to do in getting so many persons together. The discourses delivered yesterday were of a practical nature, and were listened to with interest by those present.
