(OLI MHiV KltlUAl, IGIMtHMI 0. P*6| From the Southern Confederacy. Adjoirwul #f Coiifrrtir.. 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.

After Captain ndDavis had explained matters General Wool a rmin-d to defein the m*n and await order* rom Washington Tfo “poor r*fu.p ( bis name on thi- register t -he hotel ‘ae “Brimi O'Hara, Puerto Rico, W. 1.” Upon ex>i ui ing bis truuk some valuable i, a per* were found, tbeeoiucnts of which it would not le proper.to publish.
