To speak in generttl terms,—the ministers were fine look ing, well dressed, dignified, and their deportment was well in keeping with their sacred calling. Bishop Ward is a man of unusually fine abilities, and as a presiding officer, certainly comes fully up to our idea of the accomplish ed parliamentarian—earnest, quick, courteous and firm.” ¥ v V “ One of the leading and most prom inent ministers of the conference drop ped in to bid us good-bye, on his wav to the A it O train, yesterday, and just hail time to say that the colored men had no quarrel with Southwest ern Georgia; that Albany had demon strated a spirit of friendship and good fellowship; that she had liberally, no bly and christl'idy entertained the conference, and that the conference were informed that tho white citizens had contributed over four hundred dollars to their comiort while iu the city—a circumstance unprecedented since the war. If these preachers preach the truth, as they saw it and must have felt it whilst in Albany, they will create a revolution in Georgia, for their Bishop struck the key-note on Sunday, and none but fools or knaves—black or white, will disregard the solemn les son the old man so eloquently and so powerfully impressed. As the “ Key-Note” above alluded to, was the very appropriate sermon of the Bishop delivered on Sunday of tho Conference, from Paul’s epistle to the Romans, 1st chap., 16th verse—“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth”— we re-produce from the News, the closing remarks of the Rev. speaker: “ The power of the go-pel is evi denced by iis fruits, destroying the and hiuj .he not Been cnugUt^V tho'Bind ftgVd hejd 'Btf, tfmifa KiVe jtifiipcid Ii6jadlqng into'tho gfave.

You have been told that this land was not the place for the colored man ; that the white man and the colored man could'not live in peace and that you would have to leave the country. Yuu have been told that nu must leave the graves of your fathers and loved ones behind you and seek other shores, for that the white men were hostile to your.interests and that they were your enemies. But the falsity of such teaching is seen by our gathering this morning. Here is your Bishop—a black Bishop, preach ing to you in a white man’s pulpit. The white people are friendly to you ; the country needs the black man, and if you live and exemplify in your lives the power of thc gospel of Chris’, you will bo recognized as the children of the same God, nnd members of that family" of which Christ is the elder brother. As God led Israel hy a way they knew not, so He is leading you, nnd' lie will lead you into the right way. A better day is dawning for the colored mail, as well ns for the white man, and to you He says as He said to Israel “ stand still ami see the salva tion of God!” The colored people look tothe white men of the South for protection and instruction. They were horn and reared together; some nursed at the same breast. Notwithstanding all that has been said and done, the two races are get- intervene. In regard to thc prospects of its passage, there is a good deal of diversity of opin ion ; but the best judgnieut is, that it will be defeated. A large delegation-of representatives of thc Western Union Telegraph Company are in the city working against its passage. There are those who say it is n mere stock jobbing operation. This hill con tains a feature characteristic of Ben Butler. It says that tele grams ' sjpll not l»e divulged by any agent or officer of a telegraphic company except for thc purpose of justice, hy order of a court of competent jurisdiction or commit tee of Congress.’ This is carry ing out the policy of seizing pri vate dispatches initiated at the time of thc celebrated impeach ment trial. The hill is understood to he favored by the Administra tion, and dovetails with their poli cy of building up ail absolute government.—Cincinnati Enqui rer. ting nearer to each other in spite of Postal Card Donning.—To duu a debtor on a postal card, has just been decided by the Su preme Court of Ohio as unlawful. The court held that anything so written as to injure the credit or reputation of any one, is a crime. The decision Wan made in & case of a matt who dunned a debtor for fkt old account on a postal card, arid in that manner, made the matter public to the detriment of j themselves. Not as politicians, hut as Christian brethren. Parties, platforms, measures and nations themselves may perish, but the Gospel of which Paul was not ashamed, shall live forever. Why? because it is the power of God to all who believe. This Gospel; this sweet Message of Love is the “Oil of Joy" to the broken hearted. When its spirit shall per meate the hearts of our Rulers and Statesmen, rest shall come to our war- stricken South. This same bright land, where the beautiful magnolia nnd the cotton boll sway .to the semi-tropic breeze, shall become thc garden of the continent. This same generous people will evangelize and educate its black pop ulation. The Christian men of the country, not the professional politicians, will do this mighty work. Then brother Itinerants, preach and live His gospel. Lift up the banner in city, town, hamlet and forest. Sound the trumpet of spiritual and inor.il freedom; for ho whom the truth makes free, is free indeed. We, as a race, may be the possessors of every civil and political right, yet if we. live intemperate, indolent* licen tious or atheistic, we are under the do minion of the worst kind of oppression —the bondage of sin Let all classes of men labor to pro mote a fraternal feeling between both races, and the hour will soon come when'peace and rest shall prevail throughout all the broad South. The nations shall yet behold the A Hint to Young Men. In 1855, a young gentleman re gistered his name in thc largest hotel in thc city of Louisville, Ky. lie had a pretty good wardrobe, such as young men usually have, including a gold watch and chain. He was in search of occupation. At the expiration of tivo weeks, he took an inventory of his per sonal effects ; ' Out of work and no money.’ He luid a brief inter view with the ''proprietor of thc hotel. His trunk was left as se curity for his hill; ho hypotheca ted his watch for the loan of ten dollars, and having kissed the tip end of his coral fingers to :i kind and sympathetic landlord, he * went diving for the bottom.’- He found ' bottom’ on Water Street, whore a steamer was being dis charged of cotton hy Dutchmen, negroes and yankees. Having purchased a heavy pair of boots, a bine shirt and overalls, he com menced rolling and pulling cotton ill the rate of five cents a hale.— In three weeks, he was promoted to the position of 'marker,’ with a salary of forty-five dollars per month, and at the expiration of nine mouths, he had a right to grow mellow over a salary of one hundred and twenty-five dollars per month.

In an action for danrigos to the plaintiff's land caused by the defendant’s mill-dam, as well as in other actions of trespass, if it appear that * other and contingent circumstances, preponderate large ly in causing thc injurious effects, such, damages arc too remote to be the basis ot a recovery.’ 3.

A few days ago, says thc Louis ville Courier-Journal, while u fu neral procession was coming up Ninth street, on thc way to Cave Hill Cemetery, a hog, apparently about one year of age, ran from the corner of Ninth and Jefferson, and followed after thc hearse.— The corpse was that of a man who died on Eighteenth street. But this fact has no connection with thc singular .action of the swine. After proceeding for some dis tance between the hearse and first carriage, only uttering now nnd then a friendly grunt, some per sons attending thc carriages tried to drive thc brute away; but in stead of running out of the way, he only stuck closer to the wheels of thc hearse, and thus he followed on to the grave. Here, he skir mished out to one side and stood John Z. Cooper, vs. Intcndantnnd Wardens of Athens Case, from Clarke. Tuiite, J. 1.
