War Department Expenses—Report of
Secretary Scliolield.
Washington, December 15.—In compli
ance with a resolution of the House of Repre
sentatives, the Secretary of War transmitted
to that body yesterday a report of the auiouut
of money disbursed by the War Department
for military service for the period between
June 30, 1865, and June 30, 1868. The com
munication states that the amount disbursed
by the pay' department for military service,
including pay proper, commutation and all
other disbursements, but excluding bounties
and arrears dne prior to June 30, 1865,
was. Sill,007,990 67

penditures froin July 1st, 1865, to June 30th,
1868, a- period of three years, were about’
$295,000,000, of which, it is believed, as near
as can be ascertained, without long and tedi
ous investigation,, nearly $100,000,000 were
on account of liabilities incurred during the
rebellion, leaving $195,000 ; 000 as the outlay
for current expenses during the time named,
being an average of $65,000,000 per annum.

Editors Morning Xeuss:
Since my last nothing of interest has trans
pired at the Capitol. . The Supreme Court,
having disposed of the Gleason case, has ad
journed until the next regular term. Glea
son, however, hot content with the action of
the Court, as it refused to grant the motion
for a writ of error, has gone to Washington,
for the purpose, it is Baid, of getting his case
in some way transferred to the Supreme Court
of the United States. Whether he will suc
ceed in so arranging the case as to effect a
supercedeasof the judgment of the Court of
this State, of coarse is not known; bat it is
thought by his friends that he will, and then,
unless the Reedites succeed in having the
case advanced, upon the docket, it will be
some time before a hearing can be had,
Gleason in the meantime assuming the-duties
of his office. Should he fail in this, the
“‘ring” intend to so arrange it that their fac
tion shall still have control of the State gov
ernment.

"A communication from the Washington
Street Church; Columbia, South Carolina,
was received, and its agents commended to
the sympathy and aid of Georgia Methodists.
The following members of the class of pro
bationers of the first year were called and
continued on trial: C. W. Smith, W. C. Bass,
W. M. Hayes and Stephen D. Clements. Wes
ley E. Hanson was discontinued at his own
request
Benson E. L. Timmons, Wm. N. O’Conley
and Wm. F. Robinson, were admitted to full,
connection in the Conference, after a very
pertinent address from the Bishop, upon the
duties of an itinerant preacher—laying spe
cial emphasis upon the necessity of adhering
• closely to the law of the Church, as laid
down in the discipline. The two first were
elected to Deacon’s orders, and Mr. Robinson
was elected to Elder’s orders. William W.
Stewart was also elected to the same relation.
The remainder of the morning session was
consumed in the call of Elders, and the pas
sage of character. H.
Albany, December 18, 1868.
Bishop Andrew was in the Conference room
this moring, and addressed the body briefly.
He 1b looking quite aged, and is too infirm,
he says, to do arduous work, but his heart
prompts him to do whatever he may in that
field where he has spent the best years of his
J. R. Sanssey and A C. Flewellen, lay del
egates, and several preachers who had not
not yet-been present, appeared and took then-
seats.
James Fentress was Admitted on trial in
the Conference.
The morning was mostly consumed in
routine business—principally the call of el
ders, and inquiry into the work for the past
year.
The venerable Dr. Pierce, who has been in
the itineracy sixty-three years, and is to thi3
time a laborious minister—preaching for
more and laboring more zealously than many
young men—this morning made a most ef
fective and affecting address, which deeply
touched the hearts of a large auditory. He
will be continued os Sunday School Agent,
which gives him large liberty of traveling
and preaching, wherever the calls for his
services, which are very general, may lead
him.
The Rev. James Dunwoody, who had been
some years on the roll of superannuated
preachers, who has been fifty-two years in
the ministry, came up to the Conference for
“ work.” He claims not to be “ wom-out,”
and: made an earnest appeal to his brethren
to be received into the ranks of “workers.”
When he said, “What say you, brethren;
will you give the old man work?” there was
a general response that he should have it.
At the close of the examination of charac
ter, it appearing that, in a Conference com- ■
posed of about 115 members, there was no
imputation on the moral character of any one
of them, and no charges of any nature that
required the attention of the supervisory,
body,-Bishop Pierce made ft few touching re
marks, in which he stated that, while it had
been a subject of thanksgiving on the first
day of the session that doda-ImiS uieu aunng*
the year, so now there was still more ground
for magnifying the grace of God, which had
enabled so many men of- all ages, under a
great variety, of circumstances, mingling with
all. classes and exposed to a great variety of
temptations, to maintain an nnblemished
Christian character. It was a theme for pro-
fonnd gratitude, and the Bishop's remarks
were deeply affecting, and his expressions of
gratefnl recognition of the goodness and
grace of God were feelingly responded to by
the brethren.

When the Legislature convenes in
January, a President pro tem. of the Senate
will be chosen, who will be in the interest of
the “ring,” and committed to 'its designs.
After having the impeachment of Reed, this
President pro tem., according to the Consti
tution, is to act as Governor until the office
be filled. Now the Legislature has already
provided for the filling of nearly all vacan
cies except that of Governor; special legis
lation is necessary on this subject, and nnless
an election is provided for, the President pro
tem. of the Senate will fill out the nnexpired
term. The Legislature being controlled by
the Gleasonites, no sensible man wilt pretend
to say that it will pass any act providing for
a new election. They dare not do it, for it
would be the. funeral knell of Radicalism in
Florida, and no one knows this better than
they.
So we see that with the impeachment of
Reed, whether Gleason submits to the judg
ment of the Court or not, the “ring” have
control of the government. This is A view of
the case which many of. our people have not
taken. They argue that we should use our ut-“
most endeavors to get rid o£ both Reed and
Gleason, and then we could succeed in elect
ing an honest man to the office ; but they for
get that Section 14, Article V., of the Consti
tution, says: “If during a vacancy of - the
office of Governor the Lieutenant Governor
shall be'impeached, displaced, resign, die, or
become incapable of performing the duties
of his office, or be absent from the State, the
President pro tempore of the Senate shall act as
Governor until the office be Jilted or the disability
cease.” Now how is the office to be filled but
by a new election, and unless the Legislature
provides by special enactment for such elec
tion, none can be held, and the President jrro
tem. of the Senate is compelled of necessity
to hold the office for the remainder of the
term. We think, Messrs. Editors, and be
lieve that yon entertain similar views, that if
one or the other of two evils is foroed upon a
people, it is but the part of wisdom to choose
the lesser. Though we have very little con
fidence in Mr. Reed, jwe have less* in Gleason
and his faction, and os w£ are compelled, un
der the circumstances, to have either one of
Gleason’s friends or Reed’s in the Gubernato
rial chair, we decidedly prefer the latter. We
can only accomplish this by preventing the
impeachment of Reed next month. It is
barely possible that the Conservatives may
have eleven out of the twenty-four Senators
in the Senate, bnt with this number
the operations of the revolutionists can be
checked if the Conservatives are fully alive
to the true interests of their constituents.—
Let not our people flatter themselves with the
hope that by aiding in the impeachment of
Reed, the Government can be wrested from
Radical clutches. The impeachers have laid
a weak scheme, and are not to be thus easily
foiled. They have, provided for every emer
gency, and unless Reed oan be retained in
his office, we are a maimed community. In

An EabthqUake Victim -- Singular Escapes
and Death.—Oh the 10th of'November, died,
in Valparaiso, Mrs. Davidson, one of the suf
ferers by the terrible earthquake of the 13th
of August. She was a widow, and was living
at Arica with her son when this catastrophe
occurred, he finding her after the first heavy
shock partially buried under the rains of
their house. With some assistance she got
out, but so badly bruised that she conld not
sit up. While they sought further help she
was carried away by the sea, which began to
invade the town a few minutes before six.
She, however, had managed to get her arms
through a broken door, and that kept her
afloat. She was washed on to a small island
hard by, but the waters left her there only
fifteen minutes. A boat was dispatched to
her rescue by the Peruvian corvette America;
it was half full of water by the time it picked
her up, and she had been in the sea eight
and three-quarter hours. The turbulent state
of the waters baffled all efforts to return to
the ship; so the men put their boat out to sea
to wait till daylight, and reached the shore
about 6 o’clock on the following morning.
For three days she lay exposed to the scorch
ing rays of the sun and the cold night dews
without any other shelter than that afforded
by a common blanket that her son was able
to get After an unavailing effort to get to
Valparaiso by the mail steamer she reached
there by the Esmeralda on the 27th Septem
ber. Every care was taken of. the unfortu
nate lady, bat the shock and attendant suffer
ing had been too severe for her to bear, and
she died as above stated.

Albany, December 19, 1868.
Last night the anniversary of the Confer
ence Snnday School Society was held, Rev.
A. M. Wynn presiding. It was a very inter
esting meeting. After reports of the work of
the year, by the Treasurer, Secretary, and Dr.
Pierce, the Agent, addresses were made by
Dr, O. L. Smith and Bishops Andrew and
Pierce. There Appears to bo a very general'
revival of interest in the Sunday School
cause, and it id a ground of hope for the
future that the church is awakened to the care
of the rising generation. A collection of
nearly $300 was taken for the cause by the
donation of tone dollar for: annual -ihemberB
and ten dollars for life members.
James Fentress and Carotin Hines were re
ceived on trial—making now eleven preachers
received during the session. John M. Potter
was discontinued at his own request George
S. Johnson was re-admitted and elected to
elder’s orders. ! John M. Potter was reoeived
into full connection. James W. Traywiek,
who last year became a Radical, and joined
the Northern Afethodista, sent a penitent let
ter to the Conference asking to be reinstated
and placed in: the local ranks, which was
done. James A. Wiggins, of Florida, who
some years airnje voluntarily retired from the
ministry was rfestored, at the request of the
official body, where he now resides.
The statistical Secretary reported the num
ber of church members, viz: 20,860, ah in
crease of 1,234; local preachers, 201; bap
tisms, 1,951; number of Snnday schools, 256;
officers and teaahers, 1,815; scholars, 10,363;
an increaseof 1,360. Seventeen new chnrches
have been built.'
Gen. Colquitt, read an address which had
been voluntarily agreed upon by the- lay
delegates to the stewards and members of the
church, on the support of the ministry. It

our interests. No one more sincerely desires
the overthrow of Radicalism in Florida, and
no one will do more to accomplish this object
than.we; .yet we prefer a half of a loaf to no
bread at all, .and under t’his persuasion argue
that it is better to -have a Governor who has
exhibited some degree of honesty in the waj’
of discountenancing and exposing immense
frauds than one who not only countenances
but participates in the most flagrant outrages
upon the people It cannot be denied that
Reed has at least some claims to honesty of
purpose and intention; but who will dare as

As the Christmas holidays approach, the
negroes flock into town by the hundreds, and
obstruct the streets and sidewalks to such an
extent that pedestrians find great difficulty in
moring about. There is now considerable
activity among the freedmen for perfecting
arrangements for next year’s farming. The
planters are endeavoring to form contracts
with them,' but there is a manifest disposition
on their part to hqld off. _ The difficulty is in
failure to agree upon terms. The negroes are
very much averse to contracting for a part of
the crop. The experience of the last two
years has set them against this, and they now
generally demand monthly wages. This, of
course, requires a considerable amount of
capital in advance of the crop, and. farmers
will experience much trouble in effecting the
necessary arrangements. The money is not
in the country, and the negroes in most cases
will be compelled to close for a share in the
crop.
