Ud Tuesday evening the Conference llali wea
so densely crowded before the hour of buaine*>,
that it Wes wiili difficulty the Bishop gut through
ibe “blockade” of disappointed spectators who
filled the floor* and stairways, itriving to gain a
position from which they might hear, or even
aee some of the proceeding*.
The ladle* who had gu out to witness the
oonoiuding seas ion of the Conference, end learn
who would be the “new preachers,” filled more
than half the Hail, aud seemed to be waiting
with restless anxiety for the appointments to be
read out. when the Bishop antn-urned that, on
aotne -0. h oceaaiona, the cilitebs after their cu
riosity ha*! boen gratified in hearing the ap
pointments fir their re* locality, had disturbed
the further proceeding* by leaving the hall, and
on that account, he should postpone the appoint
ments for the Atlanta District until all others
had been announced. Just here it cost some es
fort to avoid clapping of band* and stamping of
feet.
With the exception of a little pleasantry and a
little more hunenube, the transactions of the
evening were such as we should expect of a grave
and wise body us Minister*.
When the question, “Where ahull (be next
Conference be laid V* was presented, several
place* were nominated and their various claim*
presented to fbc beat advantage; hut Macon was
chosen hy a large majority.
The following resolution* were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the thunk* of this body are
hereby tenderot to the citizens of Atlanta for
their generosity in opening their doors to tb #
Conference, when it became necessary suddenly
to change the place of Its meeting; end for the
cordial and elegant hospitality dispersed since
we have boon in their midst; to the Protestant
Methodist, Christian, Baptist and Presbyterian
Churches tor the use of their houses of worship ;
to the city authorities and the Inferior Court for
the use of the ip'olotis Court Hoorn in the City
Hall for the srsalous of this body, and to the
various Railroad Companies for redocing their
fare to ihe members fending the present session
of this Conference.
Resolved, Hist tb oily paper* lie requested t<>
publish theebovc.
Before reading the appointments, the Bfeli-q.,
in a few appropriate remarks, referred to the
laborious task of harmonising the many conflict
ing interests in arranging the work for the com
* n l y c#r ‘*p'ke of the distressed condition of
the country the probability that the Ministry,ln
common with all others, would have to forego
the enjoyment of luxuries and even conveniuu
eiea, but that, with Divine assurance of brewd
and water, they who were celled to preach tb
Gospel should never murmur while their own
sou* and brother* were marching through rain
or snow all night, on abort allowance, In order
to encounter the enemies of their country und
defend the cause of liberty.
When the appointments for Wesley Chapel
and Trinity (which were waited f..r in almost
hreathlts* sllanoc) wore made, an audible ex
preasii nos satisfaction j*r vailed the whole
house.
The closing prayer of the Conference was by
the venom Me father in Israel Loviek Pierce.
Jt. was out nent, Solemn und impressive; and when
he pleaded earnestly i< Cod for our bleeding
country, our armies in the field, (he confusion u!
ur enomie*, for a speedy peace and independence,
and a glorious career for the future of our conn
try, every heart es that vast throng was touched
and breathed a patrioti response
The session has been a pleasant one, and our
citizens have greatly enjoyed the pressure of the
member* of the Conference.

In this condition they remained for a day, or

thus extricate himself from the u*pn ..u that

Last evening a Confederale fl .g of trace was
brought to hy a blank abut from the gunboat
Gen.J. K. Wool, and upon boarding, she wh*
found to have on board a few letters frotn ,o U r
poor follows who are prisoners of war, and one
gentleman with a foreign air, a consumptive
cough, xn-l a trunk full of generalities, all of
which the Confederate Lieutenant “reckoned was
all kurr.” Thin gentleman said he had very ur
gent biiHinets in Baltimore, aud would like to go
up on the Louisiana, but Captain Davis, the Pro
vost Marshal, thought the air of Fortress Monroe
might be of benefit to the invalid refugee, and
t Id him he might take rooms at the “Hygeia,”
aud then started for the headquarters of Major
General Wool for instructions. After Captain
ndDavis had explained matters General Wool a
rmin-d to defein the m*n and await order*
