••Maimed arid mutilated in a glorious

He went without a word.

JtLPORT OP COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION
AND CHURCH LITERATURE.
Whereas we regard the education ol
the young as a matter of great impor
tance, and the education of ehildreu of
Methodist parents as absolutely, neces

relative position among our sister
churches, and our continued efficien

bv this Convention
” Resolved, Ist, That we earnestly rec
ommend to the pastors in charge of our
churches to make it a part of their pas
toral duty to urge upon the membership
of their respective churches the great
importance of giving, in all eases, to
their children a gootl substantial, prac
tical English education, and that
wherein it is practicable to encourage
parents to give their sons ar.d daugh
ters a finished and liberal education.
Resolved 2nd, That we recommend
to the several churches to inquire at
their monthly meethings, as often as it
may be necessarv, whether or not all
the children of suitable age of our
church members are attending school,
and to encourage and keep alive, by
anv available means, a lively and
healthy interest on this subject.
Resolved 3d, That we recommend to
the ministers and official members ol
our church that they feel charged with
tlie duty of giving personal attention
to securing competent teachers and
sustaining good schools and academies
in their respective cities, towns, villa

important to us, as a church, in all
cases, other things being equal, to dis
criminate in favor of Methodist teach
ers, and Methodist schools aud col
leges.
Resolved sth, That, as citizens and
Christians, we fee! it to be our duty to
encourage the education of the chil

honest capable teachers, who will not
poison their minds against their former
masters.

religious publications.

REPORT or THE COMMIT! EF. ON SABBATH
SCHOOLS.
The Sabbath School interest cannot
receive too large a share of the consid
eration of the church. Every Christian
must feel the obligation to give to the
youthful mind that spiritual food which
it is capable of receiving, and to sow in
the youthful heart those seeds of pie
ty, which, under Divine quickening,
may grow and become fruitful in all
after years. Enlightened Christianity
discards the theory that the young
heart and mind should be left as a
wild, unsown uncultivated field, as to re
ligious truths, but recognizes the duty,
and believes in the promise connected
with the command to “train up the
child.”
The Sabbath School may be made
the nursery of the church. Statistics
show how large a proportion of youth
ful converts ate Sabbath School scholars,
and the steady growth of any body of
Christians in the community is oiten
traceable to the steady stream of recruits
from the Sabbath School ranks.
Indeed ; no argument is needed at
this point, and your committee are hap
py to report that throughout this dis
trict they know no opposers of the
Sabbath School Institution among the
Methodist.
Upon a general survey of the field,
your committee discover that the Sab
bath School interest labors under many
difficulties. The general want of Sab
bath School books and papers is a se
rious hinderance to success. Very lew
schools are supplied sufficiently to meet
even the necessities of the scholars, and
indeed, the larger number are in almost
entire destitution. It must not be for
gotten that the hour spent in the
Sabbath School room should be made
a pleasant one to the child, and that
the element of attractiveness should
receive the uue share of attention from
every friend of the institution. The
contrast is striking between the lifeless,
dead routine of a formal Sabbatli
School, without books, lecture, singing,
or rewards, and the attractive exercises
of that school which is conducted with
spirit. To make such a school, appli
ances are requisite; and to obtain these
requisites money must be spent. We
do earnestly recommend to our Sabbatli
Schools to provide themselves, without
delay, with the necessary literature
from the publishing bouse at Nashville,
or J. W. Burke &. Cos., Macon.
Your Committee think that, among
other things, they are justified in offer
ing the following recommendations :
That the travelling ministry continue
to preach to the people on this subject,
and lecture the ehildreu. That in each
circuit, wherein it is * all practicable,
that the preacher in charge appoint
some local preacher, or lay member as
circuit agent fir Sabbath Schools, who
shall, as often as expedient, visit the
different sections of his charge to de
liver public discourses, and take up
collections among the people to furnish
the Sabbath Schools of his circuit with
the necessary outfit. We urge upon
the parents and friends of Sabbath
Schools their duty to visit their own
Schools often, and thus manifest their
interest. We advise the appointment
of deeply pious persons, as far as
practicable, to the offices ol Superin
tendents and teachers, and urge such to
remember the spiritual welfare of the
little ones committed to their training.
We hope to see “Christianity in ear
nest,” illustrated also by that Zealand
heavenly charity which goes into the
by-ways after the children of the poor,
and brings them clothed and fed into
the Sabbath School, and when every
neighborhood in this District shall
respond to the call of the discipline to
gather the children together for instruc
tion each Sabbath, where even twenty
can be assembled.
Your Committee, in endeavoring to
study brevity, must exclude much
which they would otherwise be glad to
say on this interesting subject commit
ted to them, and in concluding their
report desire to expjess their gratifica
tion at the appoinment of brother J.
O. A. Clarke, as Sabbath School Agent
of the North Georgia Conference; and
their trust that he will be able to awak
en a most lively interest among us for
the spiritual well-being of the little
children.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON “SUPPORT OF
THE MINISTRY.
The Committee to whom was refer
red ••the support of the Ministry,” have
had the same under consideration, and
beg leave to present the following:
Competent provision for the tempo
ral wants of the ministry, is in the
highest sense, binding, as a religious
duty, upon all the membership of oiu
church. The itinerant preaching an 1
pastoral system is peculiar to Metho
dism, and there is no nobler specimen
of rel iff ions conservation than that of a
Methodist Ministry—giving up per
sonal business, and offering himself to
he srnt wherever, in the superior
judgment of the Bishop, he may be
most useful; and as his whole time and
energies are devoted to propagating the
Gospel of the Son of God, it is emi
nently proper that he should live by
this gospel. Coming, as he does, in
answer to the demands upon the annual
conferences, the church accepts his
liberal support as a contract, and every
qicuibn shculd, individually, nil Ins
responsibility—to perform his part ol
this contract.
And your Commiitee feeling that
this is one of the great wants of the
church, in sad neglect, and diminish
ing her influence for good, respectlully
recommend —
Ist, That each Quarterly Conference
appoint some efficient man to deliver
a lecture to each of the churches of the
charge at the close of the service, or in
the social meeting, urging the impor
tance, and necessity of supporting the
ministers.
2d, That the Stewards always have
a meeting by the time the preacher
reaches his work, after the annual Con
ference to provide for him at once—ar
range lor his home and iftmediate
wants —not waiting for the first Quar
terly Meeting.
3d. After the Stewards have made
their allowance, apportionments and
assessments for the support of the
preacher in charge, and the Presiding
Elder, we recommend that the Steward
at each church, by subscription or as
sessment,arrange fortlie whole amount
to be raised by his church, and at the
first church meeting afterwards, read
out the names and amounts to be paid
by the members and friends, and pro
cure their acceptance of the same. This
will explain to each society what is
proposed to be (iu;;s for the support of
the Ministry, and how it is proposed to
do it. Then we would urge upon the
Stewards the necessity of commencing
at once the collection of something
from each one, not leaving it all to he
collected during the last Quarter, while
the preacher and his family may be
sufferimg for the necessaries of life.
4th. That the Stewards, during the
year, report the amounts that have
been paid in, with the names of those
who pay, and the manner in which the
money was appropriated, to the church
meeting, and have the same recorded
upon the church book. All of which
is most respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON COURSE OF
STUDY FOR LOCAL PREACHERS.
The Committee appointed to sug
gest a course of study for local preach
ers, a .'id applicants for license to preach
respectfuUysuggest the following:
Ist. That till applicants for license to
preach, aie expected and required to
be regular students of the Bible, espe
cially as to doctrines and teachings—
that they familiarize themselves with
the doctrines and usages of the church,
as laid down in the Discipline and
that they give satisfactory evideirce of
their knowledge of the ordinal y branch
es of an English education, as laid
down and required in the Discipline.
2d. That the course of study for the
licentiates be the continuation of the
ordinary branches of an English edu
cation—such as English Granuner,
Geography, History, Rhetoric, and
Logic; also, Wesley’s sermons with
reference to Clark’s and Benton's com
mentaries.
3d. That after ordination to Dea
con’s orders, they be required to study

History, Ancient Geography ; anti also
to read Watson’s Theological Insti
tutes.

RESOLUTION ON THE DIVISION OF CIR
CUITS.
Resolved, That we should seek to
preach to the greatest number, and
that the religious wants of thickly set
tled neighborhoods, where there are
no churches, should no longer be sac
rificed by consuming the time of our
preachers in vain efforts to keep alive
churches long since gone into decay,
and that to make practicable the ex
tension of our borders, it is our true
policy to consolidate small contiguous
shurches, anu to divide large circuits.
RESOLUTION ON LIFE INSURANCE.
Be it by this Convention
Resolved lsf, That we call the spec
ial attention of the married preachers
in the travelling connection, to take
into consideration the propriety of
having their lives insured, for the
benefit of their wives and children.
Resolved 2nd, That we ask our re
spective churches, if they think proper,
to procure the services of gentlemen,
acquainted with the matter, to explain
to the membership the various plans
of life insurance, and to direct their
minds to this subject, in connection
with the subject of insuring the lives
of travelling preachers.
Resolved 3 d, That we, by conversa
ion—by discussing the matter in our
monthly meetings, and by all other
available means, educate our churehes.
to the practicability, and to the dutv
of paying the premiums upon life poli
cies taken by our preachers.
Resolved 4th , That we request the
editor of our church paper to discuss
this matter, and to invite discussion
upon it with a view to determine wheth
er or not, at an early day, it be practi
cable to adopt a system ot life insur
ance among our travelling preachers.

Release of Jefferson Davis. —The
dispatches of Tuesday last brought the
gratifying intelligence that Mr. Davis
had given bail for one hundred thou
sand dollars for his appearance at the
November term of the court, and was
at liberty again. These tidings will be
bailed with joy by the Iriends of hu
manity throughout the United States,
and particularly so by the people of the
Southern States, who feel that they are
under the same ban ol condemnation
with him.
The very first man who signed the
bond for his release was Horace Greely,
the great originator of the Republican
party, which shows very conclusively
that, though the South recognises in
Mr. Greely a great political enemy, lie
is not entirely dead to a sense of sym
pathy and humanity towards the un
fortunate sufferer, however unrighte
ous he may think the cause which
brought on these sufferings. It shows
the magnanimity of his heart towards
his fallen foe. We see in this an omen
of good, we think—a change for the
better. This is one great step towards
reconcilliation, and shows a returning
leeling ol forgiveness and regard on the
part of, at least, a portion of the North
ern people towards their unfortunate
erring Southern brethren, of whom Mr
Davis was chief. Such acts of human
ity will soon allay passion and preju
dice engendered by the war between
the North and South, and restore and
strengthen the bonds of union and
friendship which once marked our in
tercourse as a great and happy nation.
JB@“Among the most favorable indi
cations apparent that the South accepts
the position, is found in the fact that it
is not only the Union men who favor

Mr. Davis Takes bis Departure
from Fortress Monroe.
Fortress Monroe, May, 11. —There
was a large crowd at the steamboat
landing this morning to witness the de
parture of Mr. Davis, who left Fortress
Monroe,after two years’ imprisonment.
The leave taking was touchingly im
pressive. Mr. Davis walked. On one
side was Gen. Burton and Dr. Cooper,
and on the other was Robert Quid, and
a brotherof Mr. Davis, from Vicksburg,
who accompanied Mr. Davis. Sever
al friends followed. The countenance
of Mr. Davis was cheerful, and he was
received by many friends with great
cordiality, on the boat. He was dress
ed in a plain dark suit, felt hat, and
cane. His face is pale, thin, anti he
seems very feeble. His hair is quite

Arrival of Mr, Davis in Rich
mond.
Richmond, May, 11.—The sleamer
John Sylvester, with Mr. Davis on
toard, arrived here at 5$ P. M. I>oi.g
before tier arrival the military arrange
ments had been made by Gen. Scho
field. A detachment ol infantry from
the 29th regiment was present, and
sentinels were posted at intervals, en
closing about 100 yards square of the
wharf. Outside of this space a large
crowd of negroes and a Jew whiles
were gathered. The brows oJ the sur
rounding hills were pretty thickly
c owded with spectators. Major Vance
of Gen. Schofield’s staff", who was in
command, had a detachment of can
noniers of the sth artillery, numbering
about 50, mounted as a guard for the
carriages. As the steamer hove in
sight, with the national flag flying, the
most intense anxiety was exhibited by
the crowd to get closer, but there was
no demonstration, no cheering or his
sing when the steamer was made fast.
Hon. Jas. Lyon went on board, and a
after a feeling meeting with Mr. Davis
brought Mrs. D. ashore, and conduct
ed her to the carriage, followed by the
two servants who attended her. In a
few moments Mr. Davis came over the
gang plank, accompanied by Gen. Bur
ton and Dr. (Jboper. He looked very
much changed from what the citizens
of Richmond remember him, looking
much older, and rather haggard and
feeble. A full gray beard contributed
much to the change. He wore a heavy
black overcoat, and came ashore with
a very firm step. The party immedi
ately got into carriages, and surround
ed by the mounted guard, drove rapidly
by a side street up toward the Spotts
wood Hotel, thus disappointing the
large crowd which had gathered on
Main street, near the whaif, to see Mr.
Davis on the trip up.
Mr. Davis was quite cheerful, and
had no guard, but walked freely about
the boat, conversing with the passen
gers, who were all anxious to speak to
him* He said little about his impris
onment, but spoke inteimsof warmest
affection of Ex-President Pierce, who
visited him on Thursday last. He said
there was no man living for whom he
entertained a higher regard. At Bran
don, on the trip up, a number ofladies
had gathered to speak to him. who shed
tears on seeing him. They had near
ly all been acquaintances of his family
during the war.
A lady named Mrs. Dayis, of Rich
mond, who got on the boat at Norfolk,
died in the ladies’ cabin, shortly before
reaching Richmond.
Two bridal parlies came up on the
same boat.
There is a large and curious, but
orderly crowd around Spottswood Ho
tel, waiting to get a glimpse nl
prisoner. He will remain in Gen.
Burton’s charge until produced in court
on Monday. The citizens generally,
in deference to the wishes of the au
thorities, staid away from the dock,
though many of them were stationed in
the doors ami windows on Main street,
to see Mr. Davis as he passed up, after
the procession entered that street. He
occupies the same suit of rooms at the
Spottswood that he did in 1861. It is
the opinion expressed by oiie of Mr.
Davis’ counsel that if bail is refused
him, the Executive will intervene to
prevent his further confinement until
his trial comes off. Many of Mr.
Davis’ friends will visit him to-night
and to-morrow.
Mr. Davis at the .Spottswood
Hotel in Richittioiul.
Richmond, May 11.— The crowd
around the Spottswood Hotel dispersed
after vainly waiting to see Mr. Davis.
He has a private parlor, and takes his
meals in his own room. This evening
he received the visits of nearly one
hundred ofour most prominent citizens,
among them the pastor of St. Paul’s
Church, where he first received the
news of the breaking of Lee’s lines.
There is no restriction on his move
ments, and he has the liberty of the
house. In view of the recent riot, the
lith U. S. Infantry is about to encamp
permanently at the city spring park,
within the city.
Some citizens here laid before Gen
eral Schofield a complaint about the
language used at the colored meeting
Friday night, as likely to produce
further disturbances, and the matter is
being investigated.
A large number of permits have been
granted to be present at the session of
the U. S. Court Monday, many of them
to colored people.
Important Irom Richmond—
Release of Ex-PreSldeut Davis
on bail.
Richmond. May 13.—The United
States Court was packed this morning.
A military guard was stationed around
it, and a strong police force inside.
There were about twenty ladies among
the spectators, and fifty negroes. At
11 o’clock Mr. Davis was brought in
and took a seat next to the prisoner’s
box, with General Burton and the
Marshal. A servant accompanied him.
Mr. Davis, sitting by an open window,
remarked : “Itis a little cold isn’t it ?”
and he was then removed to v seat near
his counsel in front. Gen. Burton’s
return of the writ was received, mid
the Judge complimented General Bur
ton in obeying the laws, and relievo!
him of the custody of Mr. Davis. The
Marshal immediately served on him a
bench warrant to answer the Norfolk
indictment.
Mr. O'Connor spoke ol Mr. Davis’
long imprisonment and feeble health,
and asked that he be hailed. There
being no oppsition upon the part ol the
prosecution, bail was fixed at one
hundred thousand dollars. The Judge
announced his readiness to accept the
bail, staling at the same time that the
responsibility of the delay in bringing
Mr. Davis’ case into court, rested upon
the government, and not upon the Dis
trict Attorney. He, also, s;rid halfthe
bail should be given by persons resid
ing in the State of Virginia.
The sureties then came forward,
Horace Greefy being among the first,
followed by Mr. Schell, of New York,
Mr- Jacksman, of Philadelphia, and
others. A number of gentlemen resid
ing in Virginia offered their names as
bail.
Mr. Davis was congratulated by
several friends, but there was no de
monstration or noise of any kind.—
After giving bail to appear ?t the No
vember term of the court, he was taken
in a coach to the Spoils wood Hotel.
More About Mr. Davis.
Richmond, May 13.—1 t was decided
to-day by those having Jefferson Davis
in their immediate charge that lie
should be conveyed to the court room
as privately as possible. In the hack
with him were General Burton, I)r.
Cooper, and Maj. McElralli, and in
the other hack were Captain Millard,
who was a Union officer during the
war, and is now the one of the courte
ous proprietors of the Spotlsyb ania
Hotel, and Dr. McGill, and the Rev.
Dr. Minnegerode.
On the return to the Spottswood
Hotel, Rev. Dr. Minnegerode, in the
company of Mr. Davis and his family,
and a few personal friends, offered up
prayer in thankfulness for the release
of liis friend, his restoration to the
bosom oT his friends and family, and
for bis future protection. A large
number of visitors were afterwards re
ceived by him.
The following telegram was received
hy Judire Underwood in the court room
to-dav a short lime before he admitted
Mr. Davis to bail :
Washington, May 13.— Judge. Uu
derwood: Beware ol Greely ! Re
member Libby Prison, Anders»nville,
and Bell Isle. Fifty millions are look

Your Friends.”
Mr. Davis, on his release, telegraph
ed his brother, J. C. Davis, in M issis
sippi, the fact, and informed him that
he would write from New York. Mr.
Davis and wife visited the grave of
their son this evening at Holly wood
Cemetery.
Further from Richmond.
Richmond, May 13.—As Mr. Davis
came out of the court house and entered
