Mornian Wife Defending Poliganiy.
Mrs. Melinda MurJuu l'ratt, cue of liio seven
wifo of a dietingnialied member of the Utah Legis
laluro, has addressed to her sister, Mrs. Lydia
Kimball, of Nashua, N. H., a letter in which she
defends polygamy, and sustains her course of life.
The letter is written with ability, a voin of pioua
devotion pervading it. It is very long, but wo
make the following extract, to show tho strength
of the delusion under which these people are
laboring :
Now dear friends, muchasl long to seo you,and
dear as you are to me, I can never cotno to these
terms. 1 feel as though the Gospel had intro
dueed mo into the right family, into the right line
age, and into good company And bosides all
these considerations, should 1 ever become bo be
clouded with unbelief of the scriptures and heaven
ly institutions as to agree with my kindred in New
Hampshire in theory, still tny practical circum
stances aro different, and would, I soar, continue
to separate us by a wide and almost impassable
gulf.
For instance, I ltavo (as you see, in all good
conscience, founded on tho word of God,) formed
family aud kindred ties, which arc inexpressibly
dear to me, and which 1 cun nover bring my feel
ings to consent to dissolve.
I have a good and virtuous husband, whom 1
lovo. Weliave four little children which ure mu
tually and inexpressibly dear to us. And besides
this, my husband has seven othor living wives,
and onu who has departed to a better world. Ho
has in all upwards of twenty-five children. All
thebo mothers un i children are endeared to mo by
kindred ties—by mutual affection—by acquaint
ance and association; and the mothers in particu- j
lar by mutual aud long continued exercises of toil
patience, long suffering, aud s sterly kindness.—
We all have our imperfections in this life, but I 1
know that theso are good aud worthy women, nud 1
that my husband is a good and worthy man ; one 1
who keeps tho commaudments of Jesus Christ, 1
and presides in his family like an Abraham. He 1
seeks to provide for them with all dilligonce ; he 1
loves them all and socks to comfort them and '
make them happy. He teaches them the com- 1
mundments of Jesus Christ, and gathers them
about him in tho family circle to call upon his God, I
both morning ami evening. 1
He and his family buvo tho confidence, esteem, 1
good will, and fellowship of this entire Territory. 1
and of a wide circle of acquaintances in|Europe and 1
America. 1
Ho is a practical teacher of morals and religion ; -
a promoter of general education ; and at present :
occupies an houorable seat in tho Legislative ‘
Council of this Territory. 1
Now, us to visiting my kindrod in Now Hamp- t
shire, I would bo ploased to do so wore it tho will
of God. But first, tho laws of that State must be t
so modified by enlightened legislation, aud tho 1
customs and consciences of its inhabitants, and of f
my kiudrod, so alterod.thßt my husband can ae
company me with all his wives and children, and <
be aa much rospectod and honored in his family t
organization, t nd in his holy cubing, as he is at
homo, or in the seme manner »3 the patriarch (
Jacob, would have boon respected had he, with his
wives and children, paid a visit to his kindred, t
As my h 1 sband is yet in his youth, as well s
ns myself, I fondly hope we shall livo to Bee that <
day.
For already tho star of Jacob is in the ascendan- <
cy ; the House of Israelis about to be restored;
while “Mystery Babylon,’’ with all her institu
tions awaits her owu overthrow. '
Till this is the case in New Hampshire my I
kindred will be under the necessity of coming t
hereto see us, or, on the other hand we will bo 1
mutually coinpollod to forego tho pleasure of each |
others company.
Now, deur sistor, I must close. I wish all my
kindred aud old acquaintances to'soe this letter, or
a copy thereof; and that they will consider it as if 1
written to themselves. I love them dearly and 1
greatly desire and pray for their salvation, and '
that wo may nil meet with Abraham, lsaao, and 1
Jacob, in tho kingdom of God.
Hear sister, do not let your prejudices and tradi- l
tions keop you from bolieving tbe Bible ; nor the l
pride, shamo, or love of the world keep you from t
your seat in tho kingdom of heaven, among t
the royal family of polygamists. Write often aud
freely.
With sentiments of the deepest affection and i
kindred feelings, I romain dear sister your aff'ec- 1
tiouato sister, Belinda Mardsn I’batt. 1
Mrs. Lydia Kimball, Nashao, N.H.
P. 8. My kind love to your husband, and all in
quiring friends.
A Sobne fboji Real Lak—WOman’s Lovb.—W t
saw last evening an apt illustration of tho affection
of woman. A poor iuobristo wretch in tho after
noon had been token to the calaboose. His con- 1
duct on tho stroet, and uftor he was placed in tho '
cell, was of such a violent churaotor that it became I
necossary to handcuff him. Tho demon of rum
had possession of his soul, aud he gave vent to his
ravings in curses so profane as to shock the senses
of his fellow prisoners, one of whom, in the same
oell, at his owu solicitation, was placed in a sepa
rate apartment. A woman appeared at the grating,
and in her hands she had a rude tray, upon which
was plaeod some slices of bread, fresh from the
hearth-stone, ami other little delicacies for hor
erring husband. Bhe stood at the bur gazing in
tensely into the thiek gloom where her manacled
companion wildly raved. Her voice was low and
aoft, aud as sho called his name ita utterance was
as plaintive os the melody of a foud and crushed
epirit. ,
Tho tours stroamod from her eyes, and there, m
that dark prison house, the abode of the most
wretched and depraved, the tones of her voioo
found their way into that wicked man’s heart, and
he knelt in sorrow and in silence before his young
and injured wifo, while hia heart found relief in
tccre such oniy as man can weep. Though the iron
still bound hia wriste, he placed his bauds with
their i.eavy insignia of degradation, confidingly
aud affectionately upon tho brow of his fair com
panion and exclaimed, “Kaly, I will be a better
man.” There upon u rude scat ahe had spread
tho humble meal which she had prepared with hor
own hands, and after ho had finished, she rose to
depart, bidding him bo calm aud resigned far her
cake, with the assnrauce that she would bring a
friend to go on bis bond and that she would re
turn and take him home. Aud she left him, a
strong man, with hia head drooping upon his
breast, a very coward humiliated beloro the wean
and lender boing, whose presei.ee and affection
had stilled tho passions ot his soul. Truo to the
instincts of her love and promise, she did return
with ono who went on his bond for bis appearance
next morning, and with his band clasped in that
of his loving wife, she led him away a penitent
and wo trust, better man. There were those who
laughed, as that pale, meek woman bore off her
erring husband, but she heeded them not, and her
self-sacrificing heart knew or cared for no
thing in its holy and heaven born instincts, but to
'preservo and protect bim whom she loved with alt
the devotion of a wife and woman.— St. Louie
jubluein.
Mbs. I’abtington at J illuin's Convert.—“ Would
you like the lorgnette,” said the young and pleas
ant looking gcntluman who was sitting behind Mrs.
Partington at Jnllien’s oonoert last eveniDgj hold
ing up his opera glass. “I guess thoy hav nt got
to ihai yet.” said she, running her fitig-r down
the programme in her lap, and looking at tt intently
through her specs, “ and I could’nt say whether I
should like it or not; but will you bavo the reluc
tance to lend mo that observatory of yours, sir I”
“Certatuly, ma’am,” said her young friond, smi
ling, “ that was what I proposed when I mention
ed the lorgnette.” She received the article gra
ciously, and 1 tvcled it in a direction that took the
whole southern row of gas lights in its scope. “ 1
can’t sec anything but the lights,said she; “eve
rything soems like an optional delusion, and for
tiie matter ot seeing, a pair o’ bolar specta is jest
as good.” “ Let me direct it for you, persisted
her young friend. “ Now I see,” continued she,
“ and can hear a great deal better to have the play
era brought nearer. But his ostriches don't seem
to mind him at all, for all the motions he is making
to 'em to stop, and his threatening ’em with that
stick." Little did the great Jullien think whose
eyes, strengthened by spectacles and lorgnette,
were upon him, and the orchestra kept right on,
as if nooody more than common were present.

Details by the Franklin.
The C. 8. Mail Steamship Franklin, CapL J. A.
| Wotton, arrived yesterday afternoon bringing four
days later intelligence, having left Havre the 9th
and Southampton on the 10th inst. She brings
and abont 800 tons French and
Swiss goods. From lot. 45 to 47, lon. 44t0 49, met
large quantities of iceborgs, and was detained by
them eighteen boars. Among the pasaeugers are
Mr. Do Cneto, Minister from the Court of Spain to
the United States, and Mr. Winslow, Bpeeial Bear
er of Despatches from the American Minister at
Spain to the United States.
The nears brought by this steamer is of an inter
esting character.
Fuller details of the bombardment of Odessa had
been received. Tbe Russian version studiously
omits ail the unfavorable features such as the
blowing up of the magazines and the capture of
the ships. Tho Russian Commander states the af
fair on the part of the Rußeians as a brilliant feit
of arms, and adds, that decorations had been be
stowed upon the several officers who distinguish
ed themselves in the action. The Russians ac
knowledge four killed and sixty-four wounded—
but credible letters from some of the iuhabitante,
state that three hundred were killed, threo hun
dred seriously and three hundred slightly wonnd
ed. No official accounts hod yet been published
by the British Government, as the despatches from
Admiral Dundas had not been received but were
hourly expected.
Tho Russiau account is as follows:
Odessa, April 28, (Christ has risen.)
Onthe9lh(2lst) instant an Ang!o-F touch squad
ron, composed of Bix three-deckers, thirteen two
deckers, and nine steamers, carrying altogether
1,900 guns, anchored at the distance oi three
versts from Odessa.
About 4 M. Admirals Dundas and Hameiin
sent me a flag of truoe, with a lettor demanding me
to deliver up with the least possible delay, tbe
Eussian, English,) and French vessels in the
pratique aDd quarantine ports. I gave no answer
to this proeumptuous demand, as they might rea
sonai ly have expected.
On the 19th or April, about 8 A. M., nine steam
ers of the enemy, one carrying 54 guns, and eight
caraying for the most part 82, having passed be
yond the reach of the firal or right hand ohttery,
attacked in turn, the five others, sending at the
same time, shells into the town, and then the
whole stationed themselves in front of tho sixth
battery, that on the left placed on the point of tho
mole of tbe pratique port.
Our batteries on tho bank mount 48 guns, as
follows: t
Tbe Ist carrying 6 mortars, calibre 95, and
2 howitzers, “ 43
2 “4 guns, “ 24
8 « 16 “ “ 24
4 “ 8 “ “ 43
5 “6 howitzers, “ 24
6 “ 4 “ “24
The enemy taking alvantago of the heavy cali
bre of his guns, aad particularly of his puixhans,
of 68 and 96, kept for the most part out oi range.
For this reason the 4th and sth batterios, being
distant, took little part in the contest, although
they wore within range of the enemy’s guns; but
the sixth, or left battery, placed on the extremity
of the pratigne port, fought at first with four guns,
and afterwards with two—ono of its guns being
dismounted, and the enemy being out of the range
of tho other.
This battery, commanded by Rnsigu Stchego
lcw, of the reserve buttery of tho 14th brigade of
artillery, maintained a contest of six hours against
the enemy’s steamers, which towards the con
clusion of tho battle were seven in number ; in
addition to theso, they had a screw steamer
of the line, carrying 84 gnus. The battery at
length ceased firing, and Ensign Stcbegolew only
drew off his men when the vessels which were in
the pratujue port behind the batteries, as well us
the fortifications, caught fire. Tbe coolness and
self-deuial ot Ensign Stchegolew spread itself
amongst his artillerymen, and at tho end ot the
battle three of tbe enemy’s steamers were obliged
to bo taken in tow.
In virtue of the powers which have devolved
upon me, I have honored those who particularly
distinguished themselves in the above mentioned
buttle with the order of “Military Knights.”
When the battle was finished, 1 reported to his
Highness the Field Marshal the bridiant exploit of
Ensign Stchegolew.
The hostile steamers, being built of iron and
drawing very little water, were enabled, in spite
of opposition, to round the moloand approach the
bunk—ono ot them going toward tho suburb of
i’orocipe, accompanied by boats, from which they
throw Congreve rockets, which burned the vessels
in tho pratique port and the houses in the suburb.
They then attemptod to effect a lauding, but wore
repulsed by tho grapo shot of four guns from bat
tery No. —, garrisoued by the 14th brigade of
ortillory, and covered by six companies of the re
serve buttallion of Tomsk, and Colyivansk (chas
seur regiments) placed in ambußh. Driven back
to their vessels, and exposed to a canouade duriug
their retreat, they suffered a sensible loss, whilst
wo had only a sow men killed and wonndod, and
two gun eurriazos destroyed.
Daring this time the enemy’s lino-of-battle ships
loft their line and drew near the country honso of
Gen. Luders to fire broadsides into it. They were
received, however, by the fire of the batteries 1,2,
8, md alter exchanging a few shots retreated to
their line. The mancuvr# they executed several
tiinos. The battle lasted about twelve hours.—
About T o’clock in the evening the line of-battle
ship and tha stermers left our left Bide, regained
their pesition, at the same time that the vessel
which was opposite batteries 2 and 8 withdrew to
the line.
The relation of tho brilliant manner in which
tho officers and troops conducted themselves is the
best proof which I can give them of my lively
gratitude.
May we always, then, aided by divine grace,
continue to serve God, our Emperor, and our coun
try as oonsoientiously as we have to-day.

Oaten Sack n.
It appears that the hostilities against Russia are
to be carried out on a much larger and grander
scale by the allied powers, aud the Paris Mouiteur
of the 6th iust. annouuoos that the French and
British Governments have agreed on the adoption
of all the measures of precaution which the present
war may render neoesßary. With this objeot the
Emperor has decided on the formation of two
camps. Tbe first of 100,000 men will bo estab
lished between Montrenil and St. Omer, and the
second of 50,000 near Marseilles. The English
Government on ita eido, says the Moniteur, are
preparing troops and a fleet capable of transporting,
in ease of necessity, the forces necessary in the
Baltio or Black Seas. The Times hints that both
Rovel aud Helsingfors are to be occupied, and the
Gulf of Finland completely closed till an attack on
Croustadl oan bo organized. In the Black Sea a
descent upon the Crimea and the capture of Se -
bastopol will bo effected, and the Crimea held by
the allied armies. There is scarcely a doubt that
tills is a correct programme of the intended opera
tions. Tho formation of tho northern camp is
supposed to be also a demonstration against Prus
sla. , ...
Tho morning Herald has a telegraphic dospatcb
from Stockholm, announcing that the British
steamer Leopard arrived ot Stockholm on the sth
of May, and signalled that the enomy’s ships were
coming ont of Helsingfors. Admiral Napier in
stantly made signal to the fleet,—“Make ready
forsia immediately.” The French fleet had reach
ed Wingoe Sound and was hastening to effect a
Junction with the British naval forces.
A telegraphic despateli from Constantinople, of
tho *7th April, states that the Frenoh ambassador,
having insisted that the united Greek Catholics
should be permitted to remain in Turkey, a seri
ous misunderstanding arose and General Barra
guay d’Hilliers prepared to leave Constantinople,
when the Porte yielded. The Sultan was serious
ly indisposod.
It was rumored tho Russians intended to evacu
ato the whole of Bulgaria.
It was again stated that the Russian fleet had
come out of Sobastopol.
A small squadron of .ships-of-war was being
prepared by the British for operations on the
White Sea, aud for an attack upon Archangel.—
The wags say the Kmperor will be have it in blaok
and white.
The correspondent of the London Times gives
tho following extraota from Constantinople tatters,
dated April 25:
A great concentration Es troops continues at
Shumla; otherwise there ll nothing very impor
tant to communicate, beyond the following details
with respect to the corpe d'armee now at Shumla.
You may oonsider them, however, as perfectly cor
rect. That corps amounts to *O,OOO men—viz :48
battalions of infantry, 2, hattalions of riflemen, 40
squadrons of cavalry, 8,000 irregulars (infantry,)
and 5,000 oavalry. Theae latter have committed
torrible disorders lately, and Omar Pasha has been
obliged to arrest more than 400 of them.
No serious operations are thought of until the
arrival of the Frenoh troops, and we only watch
the movements of the Russian army. The Rub
sisns aie fortifying themselves in the Dobrudscha;
they are at Koatendie and Kara-sn. There was
very recently a slight enooiinter near thia last
place, in which the Turks had the advantage. The
artillery of the army of Shumla amounts to 2»1
pieces.
We have uow from 8,000 to 10,OX) English
troops, aud morn aro arriving every day. They are
in barracks at Scutari, (the fpagnifioent buildings
of Haider Pasbe.
It is said that the troops concentrated here are
intended for a landing at Sebastopol.
I believe I can assure you that the Russians had
projected marching directly on Constantinople,
paying no attention to the fortified positions of
the Turks, and passing the Balkans close to the
sea, and at a place in which they naariy disappear.
It appears that the mud of the Dobrudacha has re
tarded the concentration of the Russians, that the
troope expected from the other eide ot the Danube
came up very slowly, and that, in fact, we appear
ed at Gallipoli much sooner than Prince Oortecha
koff expected,
Tha Turks act very prudently, and defend
themselves behind their positions without risking
anything serious. I therefore think that we shall
not lose anything by our rather slow arrival, as the
Kussiaue move still more slowly, while they appear
to be in a hurry, and have no General sufficiently
clever to take advantage of mistakes. The Rus
sians were exactly a month ago 180 leagues distant
from Constantinople, and they are at this moment
in the same place.
Whilst the allies are preparing to meet the Cm
in the North, King Otho does his best to create a
diversion in favor of the Russians by fomenting
the insurrection in Greeoe. On this subject the
Moniteur says :
“The Cabinet of Athens, while promoting the
insurrection in Epirus, has endeavored to lead the
populations of the kingdom to imagine that the
German Powers fully approve of its conduct.—
While these false assertions were being made un
der the guarantee of the Greek Cabinet, the minis
ters of Austria, Prussia and Bavaria, ae the gov
ernment of the Emperor had been formally assur
ed from their Courts, received orders to blame
energetically the policy of Greece, and to support
in the firmest manner the oonnselsand represen
tations of the Western Powers.”
The Greek Chambers have been dissolved.
In consequence of the wounds received in the
various combats near Bilistria, there had arrived
in Bucharest, up to the 241 h of April, two oolonels
four majors, 4?0 privates and non-commissioned
officers, and about 80 officers, all of whom were
placed in the already overcrowded hospitals of thst
city. A military transport, 2,000 strong, will
shortly leave Bucharest, where it has been collect
ing from the various stations.
In addition to the men required for the convoy,
it consists only of crippled and maimed soldiers,
most of whom have lost a hand or a leg. Two
similar transports, each 1000 strong, had already
gone from here back to Russia, having left as soon
as the milder weather enabled them to march.
The insecurity of the highways and roads in Bul
garia is getting worse and worse.
The instructionssent to Musaa Pasha, and which
he has received, are to the effect that he must de
fend the fortress to the last man and the last gasp.
Orders have arrived at Yarns te send on the Rus
sian prises to Constantinople, but to set the crews
at liberty so soon as they shall have engaged to
take no part in the war against Turkey.
It appears the Turks are likely to attempt a pas
sage of the Aluta in the northern parts of little
WsUschia, so as to obtain tha advantageous po
sitions at tha Argis which may serve sa the basis
of an operation against Buohareat. Tha Russian
positions at the Aluta an aa yet esduaively en
trusted to the care of the Coasaeks.

A letter from to a Greek firm, dated
April 26, says i “People are hurrying back to town
to re-open their houses, .warehouses, shops, and

The Poet-Ampt Garotte#! Frankfort, lias a let

The greater part of tbejpter batteries wore con
siderably damaged, and thh<» *t tbe north angle
of the fort were dismantled. The Russians, who
fought with great aaepty,^ “en killed, and

We find the following in the Malta Mail of the
28th ult, under tbe hesd of “Cool Assnrance.”
One of the coolest things, diplomatically speak
ing, that has come within our knowledge for a
many a long day, was played off by Mr. Tagliafer
ro, the Ensssian Consul here, just before Easter
day. To commemorate the death of our Saviour,
the foreign Consuls of the Roman Catholic persua
sion arc accustomed to hoist their flag at liaif-mast
on the Thursday proceeding, and on Good Friday.
On this day the custom was observed, as usual,
when to tho astohishment of a number of specta
tors, the Consul of the powor gainst whom a de
claration of war has been issued by the govern
ment under whose protection he lives, had the
cool assurance to display tho Russian Eagle! The
act was, however, immediately ebserved, and the
Consul ordered not only to lover the offensive
bunting, but also ordered to remove the arms of
his protector from the oonßolate.
GitKAT Bkitain. —ln the House of Lords, Tues
day, May 9, Lord Campbell moved tho second
reading of tho Unanthorized Negotiations bill,
which proposed to extend the criminal law, and to
snject persons guilty of the praetioes Bet forth in
tho bill to the penalties of a msdemeanor. The
inoasure, he said, was based on the acknowledged
principle of the law of nations, that official inter- (
oourse between States could onlj bo carried by the
governments of those States, or by ministers and \
agents duly authorized to conflict such negotia
tions.
In England the departure from this principle
had been considered as a breacn of the royal pre
rogative. In America its violation was punished
much in tho way proposed by the present bill, ex
cept that the penalties were tiure severe. In the
United States, in the year 1791, a oertain doctor .
had been detected in intrigue, with the French
government on matters of state affecting the oom
mon interest of the two countries, and the aot in
question had passed tbe legislature with the sane- 1
tion of Jefferson and Adams.
Similar attempts at international interference i
had at various tiinos been m de in England and
had escaped punishment, ,nd very recontly a
deputation of undoubted loya'ty had proceeded to
Russia to confer with the Emperor Nicholas on
mattors of gra c importance It was to restrain
such unauthorized interferon:; that ho, as head of
the common law of the country, brought forward
this measure, which he ho|>ed their lordships
would allow to be read a second time.
Lord Lyndhurst, in a speech of considerable
length, pointed out tbe various objections to the
bill, and thoughtthe recent journey of tho deputa
tion from tho Society of Friends to St. Potersburgh,
who had gained nothing bat ridicule for their
pains, ought not to bo treated in bo serious away.
After some further discussion tho bill was read
a second time, and ordered to be relerred to a Se
lect Committoe.
Their lordships then adjourned.
Iu the House of Commons, Mr. Adderly moved
an addross to Her Majesty, praying that she will t
be plessod to reconsider the order in council for e
the promulgation of a proclanution abandoning all ,
sovereignty over the Orange river territory and ,
its inhabitants, in South Afrioi. t
The suddou death of Mr. Adams, a partner in ,
the House of Messrs. Baring Brothers, has been f
announced, and has given rise to a general feeling t
of regret iu commercial circles, by whom tho loss (
will be severely felt. t
In the House of Commons on the Bth, the Chan- ,
oellor of the Exchequer broeght forward the fl- ,
nancial measures. The fresh sum which Mr. t
Gladstone lias to -raise for the purposes of the i
war was stated to be £4,850,000, and it was pro- t
posed to provido the money by continuing the
double luoortia iax to .li* end or tha war, by aug- |
menting the duty on spirits Is. por gallon in Scot- (
land, and 8d per gallon in Ireland, by putting off (
the fall upon the duty on sugar which would
otherwise come into operation on the sth of July, .
and by increaaing the malt dpty from 2s. 9d. to 4s. ’
per quarter. t
Fbano*.— Tho Times correspondent of the Bth ,
sayß i It is stated on good authority here that Rus- t
siu recently notified to Prussia that she had deter- ,
mined to address an ultimatum to Austria, calling t
npon hor to explain hor conduct, and summoning ,
her, rather peremptorily, to declare herself either |
for or against, but, at all events, to declare herself. ]
The Prussian Minister replied, that the Emperor .
of Russia need not give Mu self the trouble of ad
dressing an ultimatum to Austria, as he (the Prus
sian) well know, and coaid tell beforehand, the
nature of the answer that would be given. Nearly I
at tbe same time Austria informed Prussia that she
also was about to address an ultimatum to Knssia, ,
calling npon her to account for her Intrigues, and ,
hor revolutionary attempts in the States of neigh
boring sovereigns, and in particulai Montenogro, ,
whore she (Austria) was determined to put down
by force tliu revolt. She also reprjaches Russia
with herconductintheevacuailon. When ulUmati ,
of suoh a kind are passing to sttfl (ro, we may (
soon expect soicethir g more seridtth ,
The establishment of the camp Si-frween Montre- ,
nil and St Omer is thought to be Quite as mnch ,
directed towards Prussia as towaSds the Baltic, or
the Gulf of Finland, and, in case Prussia showed ,
symptoms of foul play, it is not improbable that ,
this army, joined by a formidable Belgium contin
gent, would find its way to the banks of the
Rhino.
It is whispered that the Emperor reserves to
himself the oommand of this fine army, and that
he will establish his camp to Pont-de Brie, where
his uncle had once his head-quarters. He will
have his guards with I n. Tho corps of 50,009
men at Marseilles will, it i’said.bo commqnde:'

Gataox.—A letter frem i'hena of the 2d. in
the Moniteur says:
The Chambers have just been dissolved. The
insurrection has been beaten on every point. In
Epirus, tbe.Tarks have carried the camp of Peta,
and in Thessaly, tho town of Donoco has beer,
freed from blockade with great loss to the Greeks;
everywhere the volunteers are repulsed from the
frontier. It is said that tbe expedition to Mace
donia has likewise failed. However that may be,
the Greek government is organizing a new attempt,
with tbe aid of a monthly snbsidy of a million of
franos, which, it is positively stated, it receives
from Russia.
A lotter from Athens, 21th, informs us that an
Austrian corvette of war had just anchored in the
Piraas. It is stated that she had on hoard several
superior officers of the Imperial army, who had
been sent on a mission. A report was current that
tbe Austrian agents declared themselves every day
more aud more against the Greek insurrection,
which they loudly blamed.
Tha following Irom Greece, 23th nil., is pub
lished in tbe Nouvelliste of Marseilles -
“In the evening of the 25th, a Turkish steamer
arrived in thoPir»us from Constantinople, with a
note addressed by the Sublime porto to the Greek
government, in which it is announced, that if
within five days the Greek government did not
give a satisfactory reply to the demand; made by
the Ottoman Minister befers he left Athens,
Turkey would be compelled to declare war against
Greece. The Freuoh aud English Ministers are
said to have announced their intention to quit
Greece in the event of a rupture with. Turkey. 1 '
Poland. —A letter front poseo dated the 2d, in
the BotrtenKalli of Hamburg, says : “Betters from
Kalisch Inform us that the RuseUp government
has abandoned the idea of placing e strong body
of troops iq Poland, i nid that the troops, widen
occupied Auguslowo, have been sent to the Baltic
provinces. This proves that the Russians count
on the continued neutrality of Prussia. The for
eign journals admitted into Russia and Poland are
so blackened by the authorities that it is impossi
ble to read a single relating to tbe war.”
Tns Bahio. —Two travellers had arrived at Hnll,
in England, on tbe 4th of May. One of them left
Crocstradt and the other St. Petersburgh only
thirteen days previous to that date. The traveller
from Cronetradt reporta, that the Emperor is very
busy filling the itarbor with enormous masses of
iron covered with sharp spikes.
The Danish government has issued a regulation
in regard to the treatment of the V6saels of war
carrying munitions of war and provisions passing
through the Sound and the Belts, to the effect that
they shall be allowed to pass free of all kinds of
duty.
In regard to trading vessels carrying such
freight, they shall be Ua<le to all tbe duties, ex
cept when specially excepted at the request of their
respective gonernmente.
The Emperor was at Croastodt, personally su
perintending matters there, and examining the
fortifications. Upon his inquiry of the Admiral as
to the safety of the vessels in the harbor, he was
said to have answered, they would be surely des
troyed if kept there, and the host plan v;u to go
out. At St. Petersburgh the greatest consternation
prevailed. The people wore in the meet alarming
expectation of Kapler’s arrival. It was supposed
at St. Petersburgh that Iveburg would be the first
place attacked by the English.
The Gazette da Commerce de Gothenbourg of
Bth May, announces thst the French squadron bed
arrived at Bingoa in the CaUegat.
Latxst.—The original columns of the Paris jour
nals are nearly destitute of interest. The only
article at all worth noticing ia one of the Debats,
on the tendency of a state of war to augment the
prioes of provisions and manufactured products.
This question is discussed for the purpose of again
recommending a reduction of tha Customs’ tariff
on raw material as tbe means of ch< eking a rise,
which is very oppressive upon the great mass of
the population.
The following telegraphic despatches have been
reoeived :
“VanwA, Bth.—The navigation of the Danube
is open as far as Widdin.”
Bcchabxst, sth.—A proclamation of the Rus
sians announoes that Great Wallachia will not be
evacuated, and that Lesser Wallachia will be re
occupied later. The Greeks have been beaten at
Arts.*
Constantin of li, April 30.—Lord Raglan has just
arrived. Fitteen thousand men of the English
army are arlesdy here. Tbe artillery and cavalry
are expected, and will complete the whole ot the
English division. An equal number of soldiers
from the French army are likewise proceeding to
Constantinople. The fleets were on the 25th off
Sebastopol. Divisions from them were detached
to Canape and Redout-Kale. Twelve Buieian
trading vessels have been captured before Sebas
topol by three steamers of the combined fleets. A
French steamer with a Turkish division have sent
to the bottom near Salonica, three vsaeek laden
with Greek volunteers. The Journal aoOonalaii
-1 tinople announces that the difference whioh hsd
' k* tween General Baraguay d’Hiliiera and
1 we Divan, relative to permissions of residence, lius
been smoothed down.
Hairamto. 19.—A1l the fleets have left Eifsnaben
Hostilities ure emminent. The two English line of
battle ships Cumberland and Prince Regent have
rejoned the fleet.
Tbe following ia a copy of a telcwraphio despatch
put on board the Franklin as »ne was leaving
Cowes, by J. R. Croskey, U. S. Consul atßoutc
tonpton, who received it from Messrs. Richardson
Bros., of Liverpool:
10:80 A. M.—Following ia telegraphic answer
from Cork:—Only to day saw Capt , of Bai.l
- April 21, tat. 45 80, long. 82 64, 2 miles dis
tant observed a steamer, liuri ai d funnel black,
inside drab, paddle-boxes yellow, foremast, tore
ana topsail yard, nothing on mainmast, gn at
beam, strong list to port; no people; no smoke ;
heading North, altered towards Baldanr, steered
.® r# J saw biscuits and boxes; whoa observed,
a nark was alongside, whioh steered Southwards,
it no other steamer is missing we think this is tho
City of Glasgow—it was a likely place, making
from tbe ioe of the Axares: the masts and spars
likely used for firewood, ana the bark steering lor
the Azores. As the steamer boing then 60 days
out would be short of provisions, the spot is only
about 400 miles from the Azores and due South
was the course. We are telegraphing for further
information. On consideration, we think all cr
nearly all are s .ved.
[We aannot oonceivo what justification tho own
ers of the City ol Glasgow bavo tor speaking with
an much certainty of the satety oi that vessel,
when it is remembered that the missing steamer
** a propeller, while that seen as above had paddle

THE FROZEN HEART—by rainueiCA.
Cold as the stream between the glaciers run,
nor warned by wanton breeze, nor dancing sun,
80, long my heart its icy silence kept;
1 dreamed it dead—but ah, it only slept;
Beneath thine eye and smile its wave arose,
Burst their co'd rime threw off their dead repose;
Startled at first, I bade its tumults cease—
Nor dared to break my calm, insensible peace;
And long 1 turned away and heaped it o’er
With piles ofPrudence, and a thousand more
Vast blocks of countless weight, which cruel Art
Has quarried out to ernshthe Human Heart.
But, as tke subtle miner in an h ur
Bursts some stern cliff with swift explos've power,
80, at thy voice, the bidden influence woke
And every barrier to fragments broke! I
w [The Pioneer,
Stransb and StaXTijn. Phenomenon.—Satur
day evening about 15 or 20 minutes aftersundown, j
a meteor first visible within a short distance ot the
lenilh fell to n peint in the heavens to the west '
ward about throe hour* above tho horizon. It was
the siae and apparent brilliancy of a large rocket.
At that point luminous gparka and light passed
from it, which left in its wake as it passed about
the distance the sun » ould measure in half an .
hour, when a final explosion took pluce, fiery par
ticles passing otfin different directions, and the
main body ot light disappeared. The luminous
appearance, or trail from whoro tho first partial
explosion took place, romaiued aa did also a ,
brilliant light at the point of its final d sappear
anee. ,
The display at this time was that of two highly ,
lustrous olouds, the one about two hours and the
other about two hourß and a half. They were
connected together by a fainter luminous streak,
hat was in form like a chain of lightning, and
waved to and fro with a gentle undulating motion '
The two more brilliant portions changed to indis
tinct foi ms, and finally, as they faded, tho upper
resolved into the shape of a figure of three and as :
terwards of an inverted orescont. The lower took
almost any form the imagination suggested, once
that of an inverted figure 5, then cf the head and
shoulders of a horse, then, us many asserted, of a
bear. At the end ot half or three quarters of an 1
hour tho whole pageant finally disappeared.—
Madison ( Wis.) Democrat.
Ladies Bathing.—Tho Journal of Health gives
the following on this subject:
“Astley Coopor was tho moat eminent surgeon 1
of his time, and he lived to a good old age, and
although! he woro silk stockings in the depth of an
English winter, he seldom took oold, which ex
emption he attributed mainly to his morning bath, 1
which ho describes as follows :
“ ‘lmmediately on rising from bed, and having
all previously ready, take off your night-dress, -
then take up from your oarthonpan of two gallons
of water a towel, quite wet, but dropping ; begin
at your head, rubbing hair and face, and neck and
ears well, then wrap yourself behind and before,
from neck to chest, your arms, and every portion
of your body. Bemand your towel into the pan,
charge it atresh with water, and repeat nnoe all I
have mentioned, excepting the head, unless that
be in a heated state, when you may do so, and
with advantage. Tnree minutes will now bavo
elapsed. Throw your towel into tho pan, aod then
proceed with two coarse long '.ewcia,' to scrub
your head, and face, sad body, front and rear,
when four min utes wifi have you in a glow; th n
wash and hard rub your feet, brußli your hair, and
complete your toilette ; and trust me that this will
give new rest to your existence. A mile of walk
ing may be added with advantage.’
“ Women, and those who are delicate, and who
are easily chilled, may modify Sir Ashley’s mode
by adopting that which is described in the follow
ing language of a lady to a lady:
“‘ A Lady’s Batm.—You only wart a basin of
wator, a towel, a rag, and five miuqtest time.
Whon yon get up in the me ruing pin a petticoat
very loosely at the waist, draw your arms out of
the sleeves if your chemise, and let it drop to your
waist. Take your rag, well wetted, and alap your
head and Bhoulders, rub your arms and chest, and
throw handfuls of water round youryearsand back
of the neofc. Than throw your towel across your
hack and “ saw” it dry. Bub fast until you are
quite dry. Put on yonr chemise Bleeves, draw on
a night gown, to keep from obilling, while you
tack your skirts under one arm, until you wash
and dry one limb; drop that aside and do the other
likewise, and be sure that the small 01 the back
and sides get their fqil sharo of rubbing. This
done, sit dip one foot in the basin, rub and
dry it, put on your stocking and shoe, and then
wash tho other.”
The following is a good hit at the silly character
of some oi the telegraph despatches which may
be found in the papers:
From Boston.—Yesterday was Sunday.
From Philadelphia,—jt didn’t rain yesterday.
From Charleston.—At noon to day tho ciook
on St. Michael's struck twelve.
From Savannah.—There was a fire last night in
the Pulaski House; all the wood in the fire plaoe
was burned to ashes.
From Halifax.—Napoleon is the Emoeror of
France. Isabel the Queen of Spain has got a baby
—Victoria hasn’t. Cotton has come up into the
factories to be mads into doth. Breadstuff!* have
gone into the peoples stomachs. Ireland is sepa
rated from England by the Irish sea. Just before
the steamer sailed, an important telegraphic de
spatch was reoeived from London saying that the
Queen had taken a cup of eoifee for breakfast. The
Sultan of Turkey wears a seimeter instead of a
sword.
From Washington.—The President wasswaken
ed this morning in a fright, before daylight by the
screeching of a Turkey in Secretary Guthrie’s
yard. The turkey was blind, and had mistaken
the time of day—hearing Mr. Guthrie go to bed,
he thought it was the servant getting up, and
therefore crowed.
Col. Benton was heard to say last night in his
characteristic manner: “ I want my sapper—l want
my sapper, sir. He who sayß I don’t lies, he tells
a iie, sir.” Sapper was immediately prepared,
and the man who said the Colonel did not wan*
any Bupper ran away.
From Albany.—Gov. Seymour was heard to say,
this morning, that in case the Maine Law passed
the Legislature that he wonid either sign it or
veto it; that if he vetoed it, he would cot sign it,
and if he signed it he would not veto it.
Escape ox Augustus B. Prior.—We learn from
onr Sheriff, that Prior, wno was sentenged to be
hung on the 28th of July text, tsoaped from the
Columbia Jail on Monday night laat. Mr. Jones
had gone down on Monday for the purpose of
bringing the prisoner back to the Edgefield Jail.
Upon applying for him on Tuesday morning, he
was informed that the prisoner had broken Jail
and fled. It seems that Prior and two others were
in the eeoond story, and in the same room. By
some means (not known) they managed to prize
aside one of the ban of the prison window suffi
ciently to afford a passage for their bodies. With
the asistance of blankets, tbsy lowered themselves
to the ground, and left for parts unknown.
The two who fled with Prior, were Cooper and
Wood, one imprisoned for penary and the other
under a peaoe wunxiL—£igeJUld Advertiser.
The Atlantic Submarine Telegraph.—On Tues
day evening last, the associates of the New York,
Newfonndlsnd and London Electric Telegraph

earnest interest in the advancement of tbs great

Wft ? , ta ,i nn P f r “ m the table, and recommitted.
***o suggestion of the chairman of the com
mittee on the expenses of the delegates that oom
mittco was discharged.
Mr. Fergußon offered a resolution proposing
the publication of a corrected oopv of the
bound minutes of the several oonferenoos, whioh
was read.
Dr. Drake offerod an amendment to the effoet
that such proposed corrections, should not offeot
the statistics in said minutes. The amendment
was lost. Some discussion followed, in whioh
Messrs. Campboll, Ferguson, Blue, Crouoh and
Lee, participated, after whioh the resolution was
adopted.
Dr. W. Smith moved that the report of the com
mittee on Rovißals, be taken up and recommitted
to the committee.
Dr. Early moved that the report of the commit
tee on Episcopacy,, be taken up for action. The
Dr. Wadsworth, the preamble was adopted ; the
resolution appendod, having been adopted pre
viously.
On motion of Mr. Garrett, the report of tho
committee on Episoopaoy, was taken up and
read.
Mr. Walker moved its adoption, when Bishop
Paine asked for an explanation to what the con
ference understood to be the meaning ot certain
parts of the report.
Drs. Early and Henkle, explained the meaning
of the oommittee.
Bishop Paine thought there waa a laok of ex
plicitness in the language of the report.
Mr. Parks agreed with Dr. Early and Uenklo,
as to tho meaning of the oommittee.
Bishop Paine remarked that though he had no
riyht to participate in tho debate of oouference,
yet ho hoped ho would be indulged, as ho had in
common with the Bishops, an interest in the mat
ter, and that interest was not adverse to the interest
of the whole. He thought the language defeotive
and liable to wrong interpretation.
Dr. W. A. Smith thought that if the report wore
carried out agreeably to ita language, serious re
suits might follow. He, thoreforo, objected to the
propositions of the report.
Pending the discussion, it was moved that the
report be recommitted, whioh motion prevailed,
and tile report was recommitted.
The hour for commencing religious oxercises
proDnratory to the eloction of Bishops, having ar
rived, Bishop Paine led tho devotions by reading
a portion of scripture, singing and prayor ; after
wards Dr. Drako engaged in prayer.

W. A. Smith, Chairman.
Mr.McMahon, chairman of the comnitte on
l Missions, presented a report whioh had been recom
■ mitted for amendment, which was read, and on mo
tion, the consideration of it was postponed until
Monday next, st 16 o’clock.
Mr. McManon also offered a farther report,
- which was read and laid on the table, nnder the
• rule;
i A Iso a report in reference to the education of
• Chineae youth in this country, and in reference to
i the German Missions; also in favor of establishing
t a Kansas Mission Conference, whioh was laid on
the table.
Dr. Hamilton, chairman of the ooinmitteee on
Eevisals, returned the report which had been re
> committed at their request on yesterday, which
) was laid od the table.
Dr. Doggett, chairman of the special committee
- on the ‘‘American and Foreign Christian Union,”
i asked that tho report which had previously been
i laid on the table, be taken up for aotion. Ike re
> port waa read by the Secretery. * .
i o n motion, the resolutions were taken up sena
, tim. The first being read, Mr. McTyeire
i it. He donbted the propriety of giving oar broaa
i sanction in the way proposed by the report, vv
I bad aa much as we oonld do, and h“
plane for doing it as any other people. He hoj-ea

the Union would moot with suocosa; aympethiai
them, help them to any extent, whiah, as Individ
, nals, we might be disposod, bat continao to dc
our work in our own way.
Dr. Drake agreed with the laet speaker.
1 Mr. Rosser waa in favor ofthe resolution as it
■ stood. Sympathy, he thought, would do little il
we went no turther. Ho was not afraid of the
final results aa to the operation of the Union, but
favored every plan which oontemplated a proper
ohristian opposition to Romanism, therefore, he
was in favor of aiding the union.
Dr. Whitefoord Smith was opposed to the reso
lution aa well as to the tenor ofthe whole pßper.
He referred to the difficulties, whioh in his judg
ment, would always oppose themselves to opera
tions of this character. He believed that it was by
kindness, and by truth, kindly presented, on
whioh we should rely for sucoess in meeting any
and all forms of error.
Dr. Winans was in favor of tho report. He
thought it high time that the whole rrotostant
community should array themaelve dtfmtitMy
against the influence of Romanism. We ought to
be awake and on our guard. The ooniltot between
Protestants and Romanists was hastening on; and
we ought to be prepared to meet it, and not wait
until it was upon us.
Mr. Burton was also in favor of the prinoiples of
the report; but whother it were wise at present to
commit oursolves to what may bocome an entang
ling alliance, waß another question. That we ought
to oppose all error, in all its forms, was dear to
his mind. He thought Romanism a great, aud, in
this oountry, a growing evil, in reforenoo to which
this conference ought to do something, Bud do it
quickly. On some subjects he thought we wore
too orodulous and confiding, and we ought to sot
promptly and vigorously.
Mr. Kelly moved that the whole report be laid on
the table.
This motion was lost.
Mr. Wiley moved that the report be re-oommlt
ted for amendment.
Dr. Doggett, chairman of tho ooinmittee, oould
see no good whioh would likely to result from a
re-oommitment. He thought Mr. MoTyeire had
exhibited no ordinary sagacity when he selected
tor hia opposition a poiutwithout which the whole
He^ understood him^the^refore,
with other Protestant churches in proper efforts to
convert Romanists. No one church had aaapar
ate aud distinot plan for this work, and ho thooght
a united plan waa proper and well timed. He must
join issue with Dr. Smith. The antagonistioal
character of Romanists towards Protestants mad#
it really necessary, that we, as Proteetanta, take
decided aud firm grounds. He had some acquain
tance with the agents of the Unios, and anew
nothing of them or their sytem of operations whioh
he oould regard as objootionablo. In reference to
tho foreign operations of tho Union, tho design, he
believed, was to outer what openings might be of
fered to scatter the Seripturcs aud spread the
truth without any referonco to any existing forms
ol civil governments. Ho bolievod we might unite
with others against s common foe, without com
promising oar own denominational preference*.
Dr. Green thought *o should gain nothing by
re-oommitment; the roport was all of s piece. He
oould not vote cither for the motion or the report.
He oould not deolaro war against any professed
Christian denomination in the oountry; and oonld
not engraft, upon our church any outside institu
tion.
Dr. Whitefoord Smith offered s substitute for
the whole report.
Dr. Hamilton thought it a remarkable thing that
the M. K. Church alone, Puteyiem only exoopted,
seems to stand aloof from tho great evaogicsl
movements of tho time. He roferred to tho v«y
unnecessary alarm expressed on this floor as to on -
tangling allianoos. He wus acquainted with the
modus uptrandi of the movemonta of the A. t F.
Union; they were operating kindly and oautious
ly. He was opposod to this sort of “masterly in
activity’’ whicn prevailed in reference to the gen
eral ouuse of Proteslanism. Methodism is too
much confined to its oircuita and bonten tracks,
restricting its aggressive character. He was in fa
vor of 00-operatiou with the Union.
Mr. Koenar differed with Dr. Doggett, as to tho
existence of any fundamental principle in tho
matter. There was none as he believed. The
question was not whether efforts should bo made
to do good to all, but what particular way should
it be done. Let others do good in their way, wo in
ours. Thia was one of tho features of Protestant
ism. Ho thought all their offortß it coalescing
tended to enfcoblo our efforts.
Dr. Drako could not lourn that any church, as
such, had endorsed this union, a:d would liko to
know more of them, and thoir plans, before on
tangliug oarselvos with such alliances.
Dr. Early thought wo were ready for action on
the question. Ho could not vote for the report, or
form euoh allianoos, in the capacity in whioh we
wore now acting. Thought wo could do more,
and do hotter in our own way.
Mr. Whipple w shed to oonoberato the sentl
monte of Dr. Marly. Ho had witnessed the results
of our plane in Texas—they had been Baaoessinl,
and would, as he thonvht, do bolter if loft alone.
Mr. Pitta wished to say, in answer to enqulrioe.
what we are doing on snbjeota of this kina. He
thought we were doing mnch—more perhaps than
any other sect. We had better proeeed on our old
plana.
The vote being taken, the substitute waa then
adopt®'.
Bishop Paine prosented a communication ad
dressed to the Bishops and members of the Con
ference, from the widow of the late Bishop Besoom,
whioh wsb read, and referred to the following
Committee: Dr. Boring, Dr. Wadsworth, and Mr.
Walker.
Dr. Hamilton offered a resolution instructing
the committee on revisals, in reference to u change
in the discipline; whioh was referod to the Com
mittee on Rovisals.
After the usual notices, Conference adjourned.
Nikitmnth Dat, Fbidat, Mat, 82.
Conference met pursuant to adjournment,
Bishop Paine in tho chair, divino service by Mr.
Marvin.
The journals of Saturday, woro read and ap
proved. Bishop Soule then took the chair.
Col. Cummings, of Philadelphia, was introduced
to the Conforonoe by Bishop Soule, aud invited to
a seat within the bar.
The chair ealied for reporta from Committees.
Dr. Hamilton, Chairman of tho Committee on
Reveals, offered a report, and on motion of Dr.
Boyle, the Chairman was allowed to withdraw it!
Dr. W. A. Smith presented the report of the
Commissioners in the churoh suit; which was
read, and on motion referred to s select
oommittee.
Conference thou took up the roport Os the Com
mittee on Missions, which had been mudo tho
ordi-r of tho day.
The report w*» read by tho Secretary, and
it was moved the Conference proceed to fill the
blank as to where the Society should fc* lo
cated.
Dr. Boring opposed the motion, on the ground
that the Society had already been located at the
city of Louisville, Kentucky, and no ohange
oould be made in tho Constitution ofthe Sooioty,
without the concurrence of the Board of Malta
gore.
Dra. Stevenson and Parsons, slated that tha
Board of Managers had given to a committee of
this Conference plenary powers in reference to any
thmnfi in the oonstltutiou whioh might be docinod
necessary.
Dr. Boring did not think the explanation satis
factory.
Dr. Stevenson farther stated that a quorum of
the Hoard of Manogora were on this floor, and
wonld oouonr in all necessary alterations in the
constitution.
Dr. Sehon presented a paper showing tbs action
of the Board of Manugera on thiß subject.
Dr. Boring oontinued, and stutod that ths sub
ject had been before the committee some three
weeks, and this was the first time ho had hoard
other of the paper handed by Dr. Sehon, or that
there was a quorum of the Board of Managers
present at this Conference. He did not believe
the Board oonld delegate their powers in refar -
enoo to a ohange in the constitution, or that a law
ful meeting ot that Board, could bo bold in the
city of Columbus, Ga. Ho believed there was
only one alternative in the case, which was to
adopt a substitute for tho report, and the old con
stitution of the Missionary Society; and refer it
to tbe Board of Managera at Louisville, for con
currence.
Mr. Pitts thought tho views of the eposkor vory
strange. Ho saw no difficulty in tho way, and bo
lieved the Conference competent to ohange the
oonstitntion.
Mr. MeMahon stated that Dr. Boring had not
been present at the deliberations and conncils of
the Committee, in whioh ease he thought the Dr.
would have at this time entertained different
opinions. The oommittee had acted advisedly,
and he thought there was no difficulty iu the
way.
Mr. B.ue agreed with Dr. Boring in roferenoe
to the authority of the Board, and thought it
dangerous to give to s Board of Managers
so much power as was oontemplated by the re
port.
It was then moved by Mr. Hughes to All the
blank with Nashville as the place.
Mr. McMahon nominated Louisville.
Mr, Harrison remarked that the Society was
chartered Dy tbe Legislature of Kentucky, which
cbsrter reoognized the Constitution of the Society,
and the mode by which that oonstitntion was to
be amended. lie thooght that ultimately the So
ciety should be located where the Book Concern
was; bnt there were difficulties in the way of
removing the Sooioty now. He believed tbe pro
posed change of place would forfeit its charter.
Dr. Green regarded the Missionary Sooiety as
the oresturs of the General Conference, and could
be amended or altered by the conference a', any
time; besides the presort Board had concurred in
the proposed ohangee. He thought tho Society
ought not to be removed during tbe present fiscal
year.
Mr. Barton had difficulties and with his present
views could not vote to ohange the piece of the
Sooiety.
Dr. Stevenson thought the Society aud Book
Concern should get together, and no difficulty
would arise from a removal of the Society, provi
ded it were prospectively done, sod time given
for tbe winding up of the business of tbe present
Board.
Mr. MoTyeire offered as a substitute, that the
society be located at New Orieana. There they
could procure a charter easily and readily. He
objected to the centralizing policy whioh seemed
tone likely to prevail. In Tennessee they had
already proposed three official papers, a publish
ing bouse and two depositories. The central con
ferences had the power to do these things, but was
it kind or just I In ail the country west of the
Mississippi River, there were no churoh advan
tages, no Bishop, no official paper as yet, no book
concern,or ecaroe anything else. Why not then
at least give the Missionary Society to some other
place I Ho reterred to the extent of the miseions
in tbe country bordering on New Orlesne, and
showed that the larger portion of sll the colored
missions and nearly all the German missiona of tbe
church, were in States bordering on Louisiana.—
Our Missionary operations would soon extend into
Mexico and Booth Amorica; which in his judg
ment, was a strong argument in favor of New Or
leans. We wanted a financial oentro for business
of this kind, and such was New Orlesne. At that
place most of our foreign Missionaries embarked,
and hereafter it would be more eo. It was *
the most favorable point for Missionary ann

Nashville. Tbe ohnroh Booth had done nothing
for Nashville; it proposed to put a publishing:

let it go there or any where else, where the in

motion. He believod that thsro wag a mieeppra*

waa against the motion to recon

ops must take plaoe in August, an improper and
unsafe time for visiting New Orleans. For this
and various other reasons, he was opposed to e re
consideration of the vote.
Dr. Hamilton did not suppose it really neoess*.
ry that the meeting alluded to, should take place in
the month es August.
Mr. Welker moved to ley the motion to recon

Oftho oommittee on Bevisals,
The ruport proposed to leave tho amount paid to
travelling piesohers to be estimated entirely by
the Btowsrds ol the several circuits and stations,
aud reoommouded that the discipline be changed
aeoordingly.
The report was road, and Mr. Balaton moved
that it bo considered item by item. Dr. Hamilton,
obairman, of the committee ottered some explana
tions.
Dr. Winans moved that the report be recom
mitted with instructions tabling in a report mak
ing the discipline, aa it ia, the basis of all Inanetal
action in the promises. •
Dr. Drake favored tha motion to recommit.
Dr. Boring was opposed to such rsooromitmeat,
thought the subjoot had hotter be met and disena
ed uow on its merita. Us had serious objections
to the law aa it now stood, and thought it ought to
bo changed. It was, as it stood, disreputable to
tha oburob. The people did more for the support
of tbs ministry then wss generally eappoesd: Ist
them then have oredit for all they did or might
hereafter do. He advocated the plan of the re
port, beoauss it placed the responsibility where it
ought to be, upon the people. Let them say bow
muoh they would give, ana then have credit for all
thoy did give.
Dr. Winans regarded this aa one of tha moe‘, im
portant aueatlone which had or could come before
this conference. He understood the discipline very
differently from Dr. Boring. Ha did not believe
we had ever legislated on out salaries, exoept to
say, that beyond a certain limit «e would not re
ooive any thing, if the people had baen Jaeeived,
it bad boon done by injudicious speaking, not by
the law. If the amounts really contributed to
Er sellers on grounds separate from quarterage,
ad not boeu made pnbho, there ware raaaon*
good and substantial why it waa so. Neither ths
Stewards nor proaohera oould do so modestly:
hence it was not done. The present report would
lead to an unequal and unjust distinction among
proaohera ; aud he hoped this conference wonld
not put its sanation upon such measures. It would
embarrass the ehnroh, the proacbors, and especial
ly the Bishops. Popular man would be put into
the market, aud the foundations of our itineranoy
sapped; but before it fell there would be jeslousiee,
enmities end etrife. He did not object to iuoroae
ing the limits ss to’the amount of quarterage, but
opposed the plauof the report, aud begged it might
not be adopted.
Dr. L. Pierce would not say much on the sub
joot. He hitl always respected the opinior* of Dr.
W., but could not agroe with him m his views.
He believed wbat Dr. Boring had suld was literal
ly true. It had long been a maxim with Method
ists, to let well enough alone, but he thought there
was nothing well enough, bo long aa itoonld be
improved. He did not fear that there would ba
any bidding for preachers beyond what already
hod been, nor would it be injurious. Us believed
the true policy wss that r. commended in the ro
port. He had been more pained by the operations
of ths law as It ia. To adopt the report, would not
legalise the plan proposed, further than It had
done alroady. He hoped, therefore, it would
prevail.
Mr. Parks thought there wore two aides to this
question; we should legislate for the weak, the
strong could take care or themaelvea. He thought
the plan proposed would work adversely to the
interests of a large, perhaps the larger proportion
of the preachers; and he hoped no arrangemeifc
would be made to orowd out this class of men.
The motion of Dr. Winans, together with the
report were laid on tho table by motion of Dr.
Deems, in order to hear a report irom the minority
of the oommittee. This report proposed increasing
the allowance of preachers by the addition of §0
per ceut. On the motion to adopt this, Mr. Thorn
ton advocated the minority report; he wss
opposed to that of the majority, for reasons already
assigned by former speakers, and others of aimi/er
character—was in fsvor of the opposite, because »
retained the old system, whioh Tied worked well,
and ho thought would continue to work w«u. lhe
1 neo.ile had iked for this inoresaevf the preachers*
; SeSSff“““ ■"
ty, in rout to suggssl ons or
Dr vjiflts which had not baen tonohed. He
differently from Mr. l’srks in refsrsnee to
the operations of the pun proposed. He thought
the present plan oporated against the support of
tho preachers ss the penurious would, and did,
•eek cover under tho discipline for withholding a
liberal support. The matter ought to go to the
stewards, and he hoped it would.
Mr. Laghorne thought it strange that the pre
visions already made in the discipline sot the sup
port of proaohera had been overlooked. Thera
the stewards were allowed to make wbat estimate
they pleased for the support of the preachers*
family. He opposed the plan of the majority, and
approved that of the minority. On the first, many
of the preachers would be starved out. He op
tioned the plan for the same reasons named by Dr.
Winans. It would embarrass the churoh and
episcopaey especially. He opposed the plan be
cause it would also destroy the operatiooa of mu;
oonferenoes whioh worked admirably.
Mr. Evans thought ths substitute of the minori
ty objectionable, beoauae it proposed legislating a
salary. He waa in &vor of the principles of the
majority report, for the reasons others had as
signed. He believed we wooid be lafli. Bidding
for praaohers, he thought, might be dona indar
the present as wall as tha proposed phut. Ha
oould see how there oould be tew in the ministry
under the one as well aa tbs other. He went for
tha report of tha majority or the dledpline as It hi.
