General Conference Methodist Episco
pal Church. South.—ilutt'ip Soule hiul hoi
reached the Conference cn the 3d of May.
The Episcopal address was rend and is pub
lished in fu 1 in the Si. Louis Republican. It
suggest* that some improvement may he made
in the method of admitting preachers on trial
and into lull connection, but of course leaves
the origination and adoption of any such im
provement to the members of tho General Con
ference.
After referring to certain difficulties which
tho Bishops experience in the administration ot
the system of itinerancy especially in the mat
ter ot transferring preuchms from one aiinu il
conference to another, the address refers to age
and increasing infirmities of thut devoted sol-
dierof too Cross, the pious and veneruble
Bishop 8 iule, in the following terms : —
You aro uware that our venerable and honor
ed friend, Bishop Soule, in consequence of in
creasing intimities, is unable to perform any
efficient service ; nor can we hope to be favor
ed with his presence and valuable counsels at
many of our annual conferences. In view oi
these cireumsiunc-s, and of the great and con
stantly increu-ing extent of our Hold of lab r,
we tru-t it will uccord wilh your views of pro
priety to afford somo additional strength to our
Episcopacy.
Thu address next refers earnestly and elo
quently to the m’ssioiiary cause, which has great-
ly prospered in the Church, and the duty of in
teresting the young in missionary enterprizes i*
judtciouslly enforced. The missions to the
slave population of tno South urn described as
efficient and successful The necessity of active
measures in behalf of education is also dwelt
upon, and some more populur system is recom
mended.
The relations nf the Churrho* North and
gouth is referred to, and the rejection, by the
General Conference of the Church North, of
the Rev. Dr. Tierce in his offi'.iul chiracter,
and the repudiation of the plan of *. pm aiinu
jointly agreed upon by the Ninth and bnuth n
the general Conference of 1314, aro severely
commented upon. We do not li id any ullusiou
to the suit at law cniiunenced by the South for
the recovery of their share of the common church
n erty. Tho address is signed by Bishops
rew, Capers and Paine.
On motion the address was referred to the
various committees. Afrer sundry memorials
had been presented and disposed <d. a proposi
tion wh* made, wb.ch is Inns reported in the
official accounts of tho proceedings.
Dr. Smith announced bis intention to dis
cuss the sulject of a division of the Genera
Conference into two houses, an upper und n
lower’, and suggest 'd that to-morrow, nt te i o’
clock, the Conference should go into committee
of the whole fir the consi teration of thut sub
ject. He tli 'light that the Conference could
spare time to-morrow belter than at a sub e
quent day; and a- he intended t> give his
views on die subject, they might as w II hear
him then. He deemed it hot appropriate thHt
the G mleieuco should act upon it in Conference
capacity, nrtlmt.it should be referred to the
consideration of a small committee, mid there
fore proposed to go into committee nf the whole,
Dr Hamilton moved that the piitifi relief
appoint to-m"rrnw, ten o’clock, to hear Dr. S.
qn the subject proposi d.
Mr. McKorren. of Tennessee, was opposed
to the motion, on tne around that the metier
was too vague and indefinite—bud not been for
mally presented in writing. He was opposed to
passing a resolution to .hear any brother,', with
out knowing on what subject he was g dug to
speak.
Dr. E irly advocated the motion
Opposed it.
Mr. gtni'h replied, that hi» proposition whs
to go into committee of the who.e to-morrow-,
at 10 o’clock, to oon-ider the propriety of di
viding the Conference into two houses; und, if
deem d expedient, to devise some plan for the
accomplishment of that object. He thought
this statem-oit sufficiently definite. H- did not
wish particularly to discuss ihe object to-moi-
row. but at any time when it shoit d best, suit m 1
the "Conference. He thought there would lie
time to-morrow, but perhaps some other day
would do as well.
Dr. Humilton withdrew his motion.

Highly Important mow Spain.—The fol
lowing important item of intelligence was tel
egraphed from London to Liverpool just previ
ous to the sai ing of the Niagnru.
A d-spatch from Madrid, dated the evening
of the 23d. announces that another l’arlscri-ds,
of a most serious chatHOter, hud taken place.
The King suddenly notified to Gen. 4Nurv«ex,
and the rest of tho cabinet, his intention of
quitting Madrid, in order not to be preset.t at
tbe aecuuchnieiit nf the Queen. After exfitutai*
ing ail means of persuasion to induce him to
chauge hi* purpose, but which were of i.n avail,
a council of ministers was held, in which it
was ngreed to oppose by force the King’s de
parture. Accurdim ly, it was announced to his
Majesty that he most ho placed under arrest.
8enlries were placed nt the door of hi* apart
ment, and th * King remained a prisoner during
four hours, ufter which time bis Maj -sty con
sented, and ucc'impanied the Queen in her usua'
drive on the Brad-s in ail open carnage. Thn
Times says the despatch ends by saying the cri
sis was over for the pieser.t.
It is not stated whether this affair had
any effect on consols. Prince ALBERT re
marked on reading the ustminding intelligence,
that when his Majesty the King of S min had
become as accustomed to such family oceurren-
residence here for life, is tempted to despair of
ever being able to communicate tree y with the
people.

Invaaion of Culm !
The New-York Sun, of Saturday, contains
the startling announcement of the departure ol
the expedition against Cuba, under command
of Gen. Lopez. It professes to have received

It is further stated that 11 to the hour of the
sailing of the vessels, only a few persons except
hose engaged knew anything of tho uffuir.—
The men engaged were carefully chosen ; they
ate strong und well armed, a,,d their landing
n the shores ol Cuhu is the signal for a gener-
1 revolution throughout the island."
N ^withstanding this rumor is partly corrob
orated by the telegraphic accounts from New
Orleans, published by our cotemporaries yes-
t'dtiy morning, we are disposed to discredit
Even if it were possible for anything like n
formidable force to have been organized with
out nttructii g the not.ee of the Government,
we doubt if sane men could be induced to em
bark in such an enterprise at this s' ason ol tin
year, when it is known, too, that tho cholaia
has made its nppearatiro on the isla d, and
that the authorities there are perhaps better
than ever prepared to resist an invasion.

A New Colonization Flan.—An attempt

to be C interl'ury. At a meeting held in fur
therance of this project, says the Providence
Juurnn', ihe wlitilo system of society in the
United States was loudly condemned, a d nil
its faults were attributed to the want of early
clerical establishments. To provide against
-neb a deplorable state of t dtigs in New Zea
land, nrhurch organization is to be made in the
liegint ing, and a Bishop seat out with a salary
of £1,000.

for the land in order to mis-' the funds for the

will not go on very rapidly.

Tho South and the Protect* ce Tariff.
Thn Washington correspondent of the New
York Commeicia! Advertiser, wtitii g on the
ubjec.t of llu* tariff says :
Just ut ihe point when our own mnnufnctu-
rs und dealers become less solicitous for
Governmental interference for their protection
t seems likely tout Congress will b most dis
posed tu grunt it. A gnu change is going on
in the relative interests of iLffieivnt pnrtiOnsol
'■Ul- territory in re-pect to the tariff'. Tic
.Southern Atlantic Stutes are turning their timn-
tilucturing eapnbilites to uceount. In regard
t" tin* cotton manulbciure they have important
advantug- s over ui.y part of the North. As
itipu utmn increases und lubor becomes cheap-
:'i, tin-sc states will so greatly multiply their
e-tuhlisliments, und their production will be
come so greut in comparison with the local con
sumption, that Southern men will feel tin* nn-
essity of having the complete control of the
home market. They will therefore, within a
very lew years, lie found the most earnest ad
vocates of the protective system. They will
lie eager to Co-operate with the iron and coal
interest* of Pennsylvania. New York, Virginia
and Maryland, and the general m inufucturing
interests of the North, for the highest protec
tion which thegren valley of the centre, und
the great \\ est, now bordering the Pacific, will
Ini -late. Toe oppositnn of Calilorniu, On-
goti, Utah, Texas mid New Mexico will then
akc the place of South Carolina milificati-m
"'d possili y, though we snonld hope not, of
hut la ter and not less important treason, Nash*
dlle convention.
We thi.ik we may stiffly counsel the writer
o di-miss Ins letns. He need have no uppre.
tensions of a tariff' mania at the South. If his
will take the pains to examine the subject he
will discover thut it will be the interest of the
S uth, now that we have been driven into manu
facturing, more than ever ;o oppose th * tariff
system. He says “Southern men will feel the
necessity ot having tho complete ctinfol o j
the home market." That may lie; but he will
live us credit for sagacity enough to know that
he way to obtain control of the homo market
will not be to favor a system which would es
tablish a successful rivalry in our immediate
vicinity.
The experiments of the past few years, under
the present so called inadequate tariff', Inis
proven that we can manufacture our great sta
ple, and that even in the inf nicy, of our nta-iu-
facturing enterpriz i we cun successfully com
pete with th • manufacturers of New or Old
England. We can now do this, with less cap
ital and without a prute.tiive tariff. In u few
years we can do more—we can c > urol the home
m irket for all heavy fibrin*, and we can supply
the world wit t yarns. Wnat a ehort-dghted
policy would it be then, for us to uid in tbe
enactment of a tariff law which would bring
th ■ immense capital of the Eastern andN irtfi-
ern States in competition with ns, thus giving
our rivals, to u*e u common phrase, “ a stick
with which to break oar own beads ” In this
competition all tbe advantages are on our side,
except that of capital. The anti-tariff policy
will bring this to our aid, while an opposite
policy would array it against us. Hence tbe
South can never bo in fuvor of a high protective
taiiff.
The people of the South have had to over
come many deep seated projudieos before they
consented to become a mat ufacturit-g people,
and but for tbe relentless crustirte of the E t*t
against our institutions, it is proba'ih* that the
bum of a cotton spindle would never have been
heard within our borders. In self def-nco we
have ventured the experiment, which has been
attended wilh the m ist gratifying succes. The
'word is onwii'd! M tnnfactiiries are springing
up in every directi ai, from the mountain* to
the sculioar l, not cotton mills only, but eveiy
biatteli of M inufaeture* is being rapidly ii.tr* -
ilnced, and in a few years no State in tlie*Uninn
wili ocenpy n more independent position than
that of G airgia. While the E istern mills, and
those of the middle States are suspending or
making half time f ir rhe purpos) of entortin
from Congress a larger bonu* in the shape of
protective duties, ours are in the full tide of
sucrsslul operation, yielding dividends that g
phitnp in the face of the N u thorn itigument*,
a d which must soon convince the capitalists
of tiie country tlmt trie lime is at band when
the South must be the great C-'tton Manufuc
turing section of tho Union.
