ike Madison Female College,) W. R. Foote, (Pro
testor ia the same institute.
The Bishop, in calling the Conference to order,
remarked that quiet was necessary to the correct
transaction of business, and said that members
should be silent—swift to hear and slow to speak.
The Bishop introduced Rev. Mr. Arbagast to
the Conference.
Her. Mr. Parks presented the report of Emory
College, at Oxford, for 1860. The report states
that unusual prosperity has attended the College
Lie pas: rear. The numerical status was about
the usual average—one hundred aud fifteen to one
hundred and thirty in the Collegiate department,
and one hundred and seventy to one hundrd
nod ninety idetudtug the preparatory department.
Some reference is also made, in the report, to the
noliov adopted by the Faculty, of removing all
v ’tug men in whom vicious habits have become
SrU j ( 'd and clearly developed. The Faculty is of
opinion that they cannot reform-young men of this
haraeter ** by retaining them in the institution
Ibe moral c hsraoter of the other students is endan
cered N,->!w,’ l bs<andiug the adoption of the polt
t the number cf students has not diminished,
wtnie the moral pha'acter of the College has been
materially elevated, ’ “ lso suggest that preach
ers take more iuteresl in t.‘‘is College, explaining
to the people this new policy, as set forth and ar
gued in the report; aud they should also more
lull vexplain its advantages—indeed every preacher
should he made an agent for the College, for the
purpose of raising mouev to increase the endow
t'tent fund, Ac. The report is signed by the Presi
deni, J. R. Thomas.
Per. Mr. Palmer made some remarks on the
subject, and said that complaints had been made
>ht the Faculty die not travel and become ac
jaataied with the people. The Bishop used to do
110 ; hut the Bishop, as President of the Institu
h. u, had six assistants, while there are uow hut
hve Professors, and they have as much work as
■'.ey can do, aud neither have they money to tra
vel.'it they had the time. The speaker also called
‘he adention of the Conference to the fact, that
th-re were more poor young men at Emory Col
perhaps, than at any other institution ofthe
ur no false pride and distinction on account of
* , '*lth observed there. The oniv distinction ac
‘h.'Wlcdged there is on account of moral charac
r and educational superiority, lie spoke favora-
of the religious condition of the College, said
‘“a: there were never higher hopes of prosperity
at present—said the grade ofjtts education
w a<i as high as those of anv College, and con
cluded by askiug the prayers of the members for
, *uec**.
adopted by the Bowd of Trustees
us female College, were presented, de-
Car, Bg tht the institution requires the earnest
indee ’teient patronage of Ministers, especially of
laose in ils immediate neighborhood; that there
>s much patronage running into other channels
from the neighborhood, which should be properly
turned into Bits one; that Ministers should be sent
lo that sectn ‘ n W *B t a ke more interest in the
progress and prosperity of the College; and that
bo school prese uts more adrantages in the way of
location, health, educational facilities, Ac., and it
should be more highly appreciated than before.
The resolutions are signed by Aktucu 11am, Secre*
tarr of the Board of Trustees.
At the request of the Board, the Secretary of the
Conference read some extracts from the act of in
corporation of the Cassville Female College.
The report was referred to the Committee on
Education.
The Secretary read the list of preaching appoint
ments for this day.
G. B. Haygood, Esq., then made some remarks
about the Educational Repository, published at
A'lanta, Ga. The General Conference, in 185-t,
a lopted a series of resolutions, favoring the or
ganization of a society for the promotion of reli
gious literature and the educational interests cf
the Methodist Church.
Cuder these resolutions an organization of the
Educational Institute of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, was effected, at Nashville, Tenu.;
aud in 1859 its sessions were removed to Atlanta,
where, in Jan. 1859, the Educational litposiiory was
established, and the first number issued. The
Speaker then read a few extracts from the Consti
tution of the Association, setting forth its objects,
Ac., which are, principally, to elevate the teachers’
oflice; to improve the character of text books ;
making them applicable to southern institutions; to
promote the discipline of schools ; extend educa
tional advantages, Ac. Kev. Mr. J. Knowles, of
the Macon Journal ifc Messenger, was employed as
editor, but being unable to remove to Atlanta, he
resigned, and Prof. W. 11. C. Prick, of Auburn,
Ala., was appointed in his place.
The speaker then to shew the advan
tages of this organization and publication—and
said that several objectionable books had been
withdrawn from the southern market, in conse
quence of their exposure, though these means, and
mentioned Wayla.nd’s Moral Science, and Gooi;
rich’s History of the United States, as examples
of this. The latter is being revised—the portions
objectionable to this section of the country are to
be omitted in the new edition. The advantages
ofthe work to the Methodist Church were then
more fully commented upon, and the assertion
presented that, with one exception, there is no
work of the class superior to the Educational Re
pository in the country, and the co-operation and
patronage of the Methodist Church is earnestly
asked, to bring it prominently before the public,
and so establish it successfully. The speaker
spoke also in favor of supporting other periodicals
of the Methodist Church.
Dr. Means, in an impressive and eloquent argu
ment, spoke in behalf of the same subject; and par
ticularly of the importance of patronising these
works at this crisis in the affairs of the nation.
“ If,” said the speaker, “ the North aud the
South can be preserved intact under one dome of
Union, God grant it may he so ; but if a Southern
Confederacy is to be established, the Conference
must see that the interests of the MetLodist Church
shall he properly provided for and established.”
The Bishop briefly endorsed the remarks of
Messrs. Haygood and Means.
Kev. J. W. Hinton offered the following resolu
tion, which was adopted :
Reso/nel, That we have heard with pleasure the
speeches of Mr. Haygood ami Dr. Means, in behalf
ot the Elur it* >n il Repository, and do hereby com
weud that journal to the patronage of our people.
The Bishop appointed Messrs. Norris and Dickey
as agents to collect subscriptions for the Educa
tional Repository,
The application es Ilev. C. A. Crowell, for re
admission, was granted.
The regular order was resumed—the examina
tion of Elders, and the characters of the following
preachers passed :
Lewis J. Davies, YVm. T. Norman, Jamrs V.
M. Morris, Milford Hanby, John W. Glenn,
Wayman 11. I’otter, I’etkr M. Rtbcr, John W.
Tallkt, W. Brewer, Isaac N. Craven, John
11. Mashbuun, Jonx \V. Yarbrough.
Whitfield Anthony was superannuated.
The report of the committee on complaints
against Rev. W. P. Pledger was made the special
order for to-morrow morning, when the Conference
will sit with closed doors.
On the cases of Daniel J. Mr rice and Daniel
Kelsey, the Bishop appointed the following com
mittee: J. W. Talley, J. C. Simmons, and James
Jones.
During these proceedings, a motion to sit with
open doors to-day, prevailed.
Rev. A. J. Huntington, of the First Baptist
Church, of Augusta, was introduced to the Con
ference.
Rev. Mr. Houston, as representative of the
agent of the Publishing House, and editor of the
ll,nn: Circle, made a few remarks, stating that he
would receive subscriptions and take remittances
to Nashville. Alluding to the importance of pas
tronisiug the periodicals of the Church, he stated
that a gentleman in South Carolina had written
to him that the Sunday School Advocate of the
northern Church was cheaper than the Sunday
School Advocate of the southern Church, and un
less the publishers would pay the postage on the
latter, he would take the former in its stead ; aud
yet, said the speaker, the very next number of the
northern publication contained Abolition articles,
and a picture of a slave boy being offered for sale,
his mother standing by his side—the boy appa
rently about ten years of age, and the woman
about ninety. He hoped that the southern publi
cation would be patronised, instead of the former.
Allusion was also made to the other publican
tions; the speaker taking occasion to mention
very favorably some of the contributions to the
periodicals under consideration, and particularly
ofja young lady of Georgia, whose name he did
not feel at liberty to mention here ; but she might
be recognised by her nom de plume, which is
“Jesse Linn.” The greatest amount of patronage
to the Publishing House and the periodicals is fur
nished by the States of Georgia, Alabama, and
South Carolina.
The Bishop also made some remarks on thegen
eral iuterestsof the Methodist Church. Hesaid that
this Conference was totho other Conferences what
Georgia is to the other Southern States—the
“ Empire Shite of the South”—and yet the mem
bers do not appreciate it* importance as much
as they should. They should appreciate the
prestige of the Conference ami act up to It. He
liked to hear them praised, but he felt it to he I
his duty to tell them of their faults, lie advised
them to be more zealous In obtaining subscribers
for periodicals, Ac.
He also made some remarks iu behalf of the
General Conference picture; and was followed by
Rev. Mr. Lawrence, who, in the course of his re
marks, said he hoped that the Union would not
split, but, if it does, the Church South intends to
hold ou to the District of Columbia; and it is
therefore important, that the efforts to build the
National Church iu Washington city should not
be relaxed. No subscriptions were asked for ; but
by purchasing tins picture the work could be aid
ed, and a quid pro quo be obtained at the
same time. The Virginia Conference had passed
a resolution to sustain Mr. Smithson in this work,
and he hoped similar action would be taken here.
Some further remarks were made, and also upon
a motion to pay over to the Publishing House cer
tain surplus moneys collected by Rev. Mr. Clarke,
which passed.
The report of the committee on memoirs was
being read, when a motion to re-comtnit the report j
prevailed; and the usual notices being given, the j
Conference, after benediction, adjourned.

UWTYfJ observed In the Constitutionalist, of Sunday
morning, a Citation to appear at the Superior Court ot
New York to answer to a demand ot E. D. Long lor money
kid to be due him by me. I deem it proper to state that about
six months since I became endorser on a note for a friend, who
made it payable In Nw York, and the first demand which has
been mide of me for payment has been In the manner above
noticed. 1 have always met promptly all money engagements
since my reaidei.ee in this place, aud thi a person must know

THE BANK ACT.
Our readers, iu this and other States, doubtless
feel an anxiety to rend and examine the provisions
of the act recently passed by the Legislature of
Georgia, in reference to banks and the stay of exe-
I cutions. Below we print the bill:
AN ACT,
To grant relief to the banks and the people of this
State, and to repeal certain clauses of the act
entitled an act to provide against the forfeiture
of the several bank charters in this State, on ac
count of the non-specie payment for a given
time, and for other purposes, passed in the year
1857; and to suspend the pains and penalties
imposed upon the several banks and their offi
cers, in this State, for the non-payment of spe
cie, aud for other purposes.
Sec. 1. The General Assembly of the State of
Georgia do enact, that nothing in the seventh sec
tion of the before recited uct shall be so construed
as to prevent the banks of this State from sending
their notes out of said State lor the purpose of
discounting drafts, provided they shall not direct
ly or indirectly charge a greater” rate of discount
than seven per centum per annum, and exchange
not exceeding one-half of one per cent.
Sec. 2. The General Assembly do further eDact,
that so much of the tenth section of the before re
cited act of 1857 as prevents the banks of this
State from selling any kind of exchange except
sight checks, be, and the same is hereby repealed:
provided, that no bane shall sell any sight checks
at a greater interest than seven per per cent,
per annum, together with the usual or market
rate of commercial exchange between the two
points at that time, but in no case to exceed one
lialf of one per cent., if drawn on any point in
this State; any charge of a greater rate of ex
change than the fair or market rate of commercial
exchange, between the points at the time, if drawn
on points beyond the limits of this State, shall be
considered usurious, and a violation of the pro
visions of the said act of 1857: Provided, that no
bank shall ask and recieve a greater sum than one
per centum on exchatioe from any citizen of this
State, for bills, drafts, or checks drawn on any
point beyond this Stale, when the bills of said
bank or banks are presented in payment for
said exchange.
Sec. ?i. That in view of the embarrassing stale
of monetary affairs, and the probable suspension
of the banks of the adjoining States, all and every
the pains and penalties heretofore imposed upon
the several banks and their officers in said State,
t>v any previous legislation of the General Assem
bly of the same, for the failure or refusal of said
banks or their branches to redeem their liabilities
in gold and silver, when presented, according to
their several charters, be, and the same are, hereby
suspended, uutil the first of December, 1861, pro
vided that nothing in this section shall be so con
strued as to repeal the provision in the third sec
tion of the before recited act of 1857; nor shall
this act be so construed as to relieve the said
banks from the operations of the fifth section of
the before recited act of 1857, entitled an act to
provide against the forfeiture of the several bank
charters in this State, on accouut of non-specie
payment for a given time, aud for other purposes
therein mentioned.
See. 4. That in the event of suspeusion of specie
payment by any of the banks of Savannah, Augus
ta, and Atlanta, in this State, which shall be made
known by proclamation of the Governor, it shall
not be lawful for any plaintiff in Ji. fa. his agent or
attorney, to have the same levied upon the proper
ty of any inhabitant or corporation of this State,
until the first of December 1861; neither shall auy
of the property of any such inhabitant or corpora
tion be sold uuder and by virtue ot any such fi.fa.
order, or decree, nor shall anv persons be arrest
ed or imprisoned uuder and by virtue of any pro
ceeding under writs of ca na, until the first of De
number, 1861, except in cases where the plaintiff,
his agent or attorney, shall make affidavit that the
defendant is removing, or about to remove, with
out the limits of this State,or any county thereof,
or is removing or about to remove his property
beyond the limits of this State, or auy county
thereof; in such cases the defendant may stay
such levy or sale, arrest, or imprisonment, until
(he first of December, 1861, by giving good and
sufficient security in the Clerks office, or Justice’s
office, from whence said fi.fa. or ca. su. issued, as
in other cases of stay of execution, for the pav~
mentof ihe debt and costs at the expiration of said
stay, or for liis appearance to render satisfaction
under such arrest at the first term of the court
happening after said Ist Dec., 1861, as in cases
of arrest under ca. sa. by the existing laws, and in
all cases where property is now levied on; and in
the hands of the levying officer, the defendant may
replevv the same by giving bond aud security
either for the forthcoming of the property, or the
payment of the debt and costs ou the first day of
Dec., 1861, or the first regular sale day thereafter,
provided that this section shall not be so con
strued as to apply to any tax ji. fa., issued, or to
be issued, and provided further that the statutes
of limitations shall cease to run against any debt
during the suspension of said banks.
Hoc. 5. lie it further enacted, that all laws and
parts of laws militating against this act, be, and
the same are hereby repealed.

f COMMUNICATE!!, j
SHOULD THE GEORGIA CONFERENCE BE
DIVIDED 1
For several years a division of the Georgia Con
ference has been talked of by its members. Up to
the present, no step has been taken for the accom-
plishtnent of that object. We believe that if a
move was made in that direction there is a majori
ty who would favor it. Our reasons for thinking
so are many—a few may bo given.
First, That portion of Georgia which is now
within the bounds of the Florida Conference
should be occupied by ministers from our own
Conference. This should be done to satisfy the
expi-(ssed desire of the Methodist people in that
section ; being citizens of Georgia, they prefer to
belong to a Georgia Annual Conference.
To enlarge the present boundary of the Georgia
conference so as to embrace that portion of the
State now in the Florida Conference, would add to
the already unwieldiness of|our. body. The only
plan, therefore, is to divide the Conference, ami
leave the Florida Conference to take care of the
interests of the church within its own State,
while within the territory of Georgia we would
have two large and nourishing annual conferences.
Again, Our no mb dr s are annually swelled by
scores of applicants for admission into our Confer
ence. This, if it is not now the case, will soon
make it a difficult matter to elect a place that is
able to take upon it the burden of supporting an
uunual conference, during its necessarily long ses
sion.
Again, A division of the Conference would cre
ate a necessity for the opening tip of new fields of
labor, which probably never would or could be
occupied, under existing circumstances. It would
likewise afford more ample time to attend to the
great interests of the Church in the whole State,
many of which are now neglected or hastily passed
over, because of theunwillingness of the preachers
to protract a session of the Conference sufficiently
long, to give them proper consideration ; and, in
fact, it is almost impracticable, because of the ex
pense incurred by the people who so kindly enter
tain our body.
Other reasons might be given to show the ne
cessity for this division, but it is unnecessary at
this time, the object of this article being simply
to bring the matter before the members of the
Conference during its present session,
Hoping that the brethren will take into consider
ation this important matter, and discuss it with
an eye single to the glory of God, and the good of
the Church, we subscribe ourselves,
Tinian Mumbkrs of thk Georgia Confkrknck.

EVERY MERCHANT
SHOULD HAVE A
Reliable Fire and Burglar Proof
SAFE.
npHK only successful attempt to manufacture SA FES upon
I scientific, and therefore reliable principles, i* found in
Valentine & Sutler’s Alum Patent Fire and Ltirglar Proof
SAFE. Chemistry ha* been brought to afford it* awi.stance to
this Important object* and with the most absolute auccea*.
The merchant has iti this Safe a perfect guaranty rsrthe
of his records. In all the required forms ot security against tire,
depredation aud dampness. The manufacturers claim, upon
the following grounds, that this m the only depository
devised for the sale keeping of valuables, which can justly be
termed a SAFE. The Safes sold by the various makers, are
filled either on the valorising or non-conducting principle.
The Alum Patent Safe is made upon the former principle. All
•t hers are tilled with Planter of Paris, Pipe Clay, **r similar
sutotauce*, called nonconductors of heat, which quality
neither these or any others possess, except in a part ini and m
adequate degree, they arc. however, sometimes successful
in resisting a moderate fire, because the plaster is put iu when
moist, but this moisture dries out at the rate of twenty per
cent, a year, besides corroding the lining of the Safe, and m
juriwg documents by reason of the dampn s* having a tenden
cy to discharge ink from paper. Important documents have
been frequently destroyed by being in damp Safes. Many
Safes, which their owners confidently count upon as security
for their money and papers, will he round to be anything but
Safes in the time of trial, especially if they are three or four
years old.
The Alum Patent Safe is filled with natural salts, which
remain perfectly dry until heated, when they discharge so
much steam as to render it impossible far their contents to be
destroyed. During the twelve years they have been iu use,
notwithstanding hundreds of them have been subjected to the
severest ordeals, not one has failed to preserve its contents un
injured. A fast as the public become acquainted with the
principle upon which a Safe should be made, they purchase
them to the exclusion of all others. Their quality as a Bur
glar Proof Safe has been most severely tested, aiid in no in.
stance has the burglar succeeded in entering one of them. The
‘Ck is powder proof, and the key can be curried in the vest
pocket.
