There is no brother or son claiming to have the origionat recipe. It is imt up in both Pow der and Fluid form. FAIRBURN, Ga., Sept. 4, 1868. DR. 0. S. PROPHITT: Sir: My wife has been an invalid for fifteen year*. Doctors all agreed she had “Liver Dis ease.” In connection with their practice she used various and noted remedies, none of which seemed to do any good. Sometime ago I procu red a bottle of your “Liver Medicine,” of your agent here, <J. A. Harvey, which being given ac cording to directions, has affected a complete cure. Respectfully, Ac., GEO. L. THOMAS. Charlotte, N. €., Sept. 24,1868. I have used Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi cine as a tonic, and found it to be powerful and efficacious. It is excellent for functional de rangement of the Liver or constipation of the bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity of a regular course of medicine. E. J. MEYNARDIE, Pastor Tryon-str.

PROF HITT: Dear Sir: I write you this to inform you that I have been troubled a great deal with indiges tion. hut after using oue bottle of your Liver Medicine, I find great relief. I cheerfully re commend it as a good Family Medicine, and feel confident that it is good for anything for which it claims to be an antidote. Very respectfully, Dicii LOCKETE.

PROPIIITT’S Pain Kill It. This is the celebrated medicine that run Perry Davis’ Pain Killer out of the market, wherever it was sold. Davis made Prophitt change the name from Pain Killer to PAIN KILL IT. For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any kind it has no equal.

I can say that it is one of the finest Family Medicines now out, cer tain. Yours, truly, W. A. FOREHAND. Dooly County, Ga., Oct. 27, 1867 DR. O. S. PROPHITT: I have, during the last eigeteen months, used your Pam Kill It, and I consider it unequaled by anything for pam in the head, breast, back or side, and for colic nothing gives relief half so quick as your Anodyne Pain Kill.

[From the 8-oatfteru Christian Advocate, The Ccneritl Conference of Hie Colored AleMiodist Lpfscojml Church in America. We have already noticed the organi zation of this Conference, and publish ed the Report of the Committee on organization We find in the Nashville Christian Advocate, a very full report of the proceedings, which we judge, was written by Bishop MeTyeire, and we draw upon it largely because it is proper that Southern Methodists know the relation of this church to our own. Delegates, lay and clerical, were present from the following Annual Conferences: Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas. Os those who had been requested by the General Conference of the M. E. Church, South, to attend and assist on this occasion, the following were pres ent: Bishops Paine, MeTyeire, Revs. A. L. P. Green, S. Watson, and Thom as Taylor. Letters of excuse were received from Bishop Kavanaugh and Dr. Sehon. Two days were spent in revising the r iscipline, on the basis of which the Conference had been organized. It was read section by sectiopgWjefore the whole body, (different mefctbers reading as elected by the Chair,) and an opportunity given for amendments. Bt sides the name, the following are the changes made: From the sentence (Dis., page 72) which requires a register of members to be kept iu every circuit, “distinguish ing between local elders, deacons and I preachers, white persons, colored per- j sons and Indians,” the six words last j quoted are struck out. They are all colored. An animated discussion sprung up on the supernumerary relation. It was strenuously objected to as “a and idging-place from hard work.” It was described as serving those mem b rs of Conference “who stayed in the < 00l shade, and pushed others out to run up and down the long rows of du ty in the heat of the day.” Surmises were indulged (with a stroke of mer riment) at the expense of those who “would get sick when they ough’n to, and nurse a lame leg, and made cotton through the year, and then come up to Conference and vote as big as any body.” At first the motion prevailed to strike out all provision for a super numerary class; but the more conser vative element i allied next day, the vote, was 1 econsidered, and that sec tion of the Disciplii e was restored.— Miles, from Kentucky, turned the tide by a plain and strong speech. He said: “Our white brethren, by experi ence. had found that provision useful. It was an old law, and there must be a reason for it. A brother might be thrown from his horse, or be ruu down with the chills, and need a spell of rest, and then be as good as new.— Shall we fling such away ? You can’t say he is old and worn clean out; and there’s no sense in commanding lrm to do full work, for he can’t do it.— About the abuse of laziness, we must keep a sharp watch. No one can lay himself on the supernumerary list. If he is on it, the Annual Conference must put him there.” A pause was made on a question asked candidates for admissisn into full connection —“Are you resolved to devote yoursel whoily to God and His work?” What does wholly mean? in quired a venerable member from West Tennessee. “Some of us,’ he said, “have to work iu our shops and patch es four, and five, and even six days, in the week, and to preach on Sundays. Our people amt able yet, and them that’s able aim got the will to bear all our support.” The matter was can vassed freely, and all settled down on this conclusion; If a man works with his hands a part of the week, not to lay up treasure on earth but in order tube able to preach the gospel, and serve the church tne otner part, he does not break this vow. He keeps it id the spirit, if not in the letter.- Paul, making tents that he might preach to the half-Christian and stingy Corinthians, was quoted with effect Hallowed the toil if this the cause, The meanest work divine. The time of probation of a traveling preacher for deacons’ orders was made one year; that of a traveling deacon for the office of elder, two years. “We must,” said the member, “bring for ward preachers to baptize and to per form ths ceremony of marriage, for our people need these offices; but for the eldership, preachers, can wait lon ger and make more preparation.” ihe debate of the session arose on the section concerning local preachers, and upon these words of it: ‘Nor shall any one be licensed to preach without first being examiued in the Quarterly Conference on the subject of doctrines and discipline, and giving satisfactory evidence of his kuowKdge of the ordinary branches of an Eng lish education.” The Chair was inquired of as to how much education that covered. Moved to strike out ail after the word “discipline.” This hr mght out the full strength of the body pro and con. It was interesting ro see how all the main points in the old controver y were touched. “Long time in even scale the battle hung,” when another proposition was: To strike out all af ter the word “his,” and insert instead, “übili y to read the word o God.” — This cumpioiuise, not without op, osi tion, was adopted. Editors and Proprietors. Anderson—who has been a member of one of the Georgia Constitutional Conventions —warmly opposed the first motion. In his District there was a rush to become preachers. All the Lord’s people felt called. The Presid ing Elder could hardly keep them down. If they didn’t look out, the new bishops would be run over. Must put up the fence. Mai shall, of Kentucky, had learned to read while a slave; worked all day, and went to the house at night, and got the white folks and children to teach him; and couldn’t our j’oung tnen learn now, when they bad all the day before them ? Must do this in self-protection. ' Men who wouldn’t reach the standard of other colored churches would come to us and get ordination, and then slab off. He had known a case. Philips, of Mississippi, warned them againt high notions. Ho was for strik ing out all educational requirements. The Holy Ghost might talk to a man without grammar; and when the man told it to his fellow-man, with the help of th.it same- Holy Ghost, it would be mighty to prevail, grammar or no grammar. A speaker arose far back near the stove, and by his dignified appearance and graceful manner at once arrested attention. Som6 thought Elias Polk, of Nashville, had got into the Confer ence. (Elias waa the body-servant of the late President PoJk, and was voted in his day to be the politest gentleman of Washington City.) The speaker was black, and tastefully attired; his open face indicating intelligence and benevolence—the latter quality pre dominating. His voice was of South Carolina —that soft, rich brogue, pe euliar to the low country. Richard Vanderhorst proceeded to address the Conference. A pacificator, and yet not lacking in positiveness. Circum locutory in style, with a touch of the grandiose not un pleasing. By the in directions and curve-lines peculiar to the mental methods of his race. Van derhorst got to the point, and made himself understood and felt. He was moderate, but decided for progress— that kind that holds its own or goes back, nor yet for that which goes so fast to get separated from t he.mass of his people. “Brethren,” said he, “the providence of God seems to open the way .for our race onward, and shall this honorable body drop down and give way, with all the world’s eyes on us, after such a fashion as this ? I trust it will never be said—no, never.” Slowiy arose the patriarch of the body, Anderson Jackson, of Alabama —a remarkable man in many respects —silent, except on weighty occasions, grave,, erect, attentive to everything said and done. He occupied a seat apart, and wore a high-peaked, pyra midshaped woolen cap, woven in bright colors, and topped off with a flaring button-knot that a pasha might envy. Notwithstanding this groti sque feature, such is the native dignity, the sound sense, and sterling moral worth of “Uncle Anderson,” that it required only a few days abroad to give him what he enjoys beyond any man of his color at home—respect and influence. He squared himself and said: “Sir and Brutherin”:—l have sot under the various speechifyings on this occasion, until it seems really I must let you all have a piece of my mind.— Take care what you are agwine to do —take care, I tell you. It aint for us, brutherin, to measure out. a man by a book, and say who God shall call, and who he ifian’t, No, sir, never.— T-a-k-e c-a-r-e. My Father, sir, didn’t know A from B, and yet by his preach ing hundreds--}’ es, thousands—was converted. Scores of ’em in heaven nuw, white as well us black. That’s so. You sir (appealing to Bishop MeTyeire in the chair,) can testify, presiding in our Conference last mouth, that one of the best and gloriousest report that w.iS fetch up,, come from a preacher that can’t read a letter in the book Brother Joe Durr is the very man, sir. And will you, brutherin, stop the mouth of all sieb ? Will you cut off their heads ? T-a-k-e c-a-r-e. The Sperit teach a man, and he can a poor sinner how to repent, and pint out the road to heaven, don t mind es he can’t read. These is facts. Meet ’em if you can. Yes, sir, these is f*aw>t-s. The couse of an educated ministry was in a bad way by the time Jackson finished his unctuous speech, driving it borne with tremendous gesticulations But Posey, of Georgia, and Stewart, and Crouch, and Bullard, of Tennes see, and Moses, of outh Carolina, made good speeches on the other side, dextiously ouching up the pride of | race. Again, Miles, of Kentucky, made ! an end of controversy by one of his di- I rect and broad-minded addresses. He said: “The past must go for itself. "VVe have new duties, and must get ready for them. What are you going to do with all those children that aro at school? Having them taught to read, and send me to preach to them who can’t read ? Shut up your schools to keep your congregation level with the pulpit, or raise your pulpit to keep it level ith the congregation. Do one or t’other. Any man that has sense enough to preach, can learn to read, if he wants to, in six months. I was ashamed, a few Sundays ago, setting behind a preacher, who repeated a doz en times that Noah made an ai k out of maguffee wood/’ [Laughter—the speaker well-nigh losing his gravity.) It was interposed that it didn’t mat ter whether he said gopher wood or mci!p»/ofce-~the people in this country knew ns much about one as the other. **¥<.«; but ft man th t makes that blnuder can make any kind of a bktn der, and we rtsttst stop it. Let these persons be exhoiters - there is no such rule for exhort* rs; and that is this place. Say to them, when they apply for license to preach, Go back fttid learn to rend: stay a > you are till you learn to read. And this will stimulate them. Moreover, this rule, os I un derstand, don’t bear on any one who has already been licensed. It takes ef fect hereafter.” These last remarks carried relief, and the rule was adopted by a very large majority. SO. 32. T hey adopted Chapter XI., on churches and church property, with a single and significant amendment.— The Discipline says: * Let all our churches be plain and decent, and with free seats, as far as practicable.’' It was moved to amend by adding, “And they shall, on no account be used for political assemblages or purposes.” Anderson Opposed t Lis vehemently, on the ground, he said, that it was a reflection ou their own race, as though they did not know how to treat all such applications when made. It was re plied that it was best, in the beginning, to cut off all applications. Oa the fi nal veto the Georgian stood alone in the negative. Nest day i\e had got one more on his side. A reconsidera tion was granted, through cour.esy, and on the final vote there were /win the negative. “I came here/* said a member from a distance, “just to get that plank in, and now I’m satisfied.” Dr Watson’s services in publishing the Christian Index were appreciated. It is an indispensiblo auxiliary. It is believed this organ will now be self sustaining, and their strong and fast friend was requested to continue nom inally its editor, and see it through.— He, with their Assistant editor, and Book Agent, is to make satisfactory arrangements with Dr. Bedford, at Nashville, for bringing out their Dis cipline, and Hymn-book, aud Cate ehisu'.a, and atao to print the Index. Wednesday, 10 o’clock, the order of the day was taken up—the election of two bishops. Fervent song and pray er preceeded. The balloting was con ducted with admirable order. Wo give its results.

Miles is 41 years bid; born and reared in Kentucky of yellow complexion; was a freedman before the war. He was licensed to preach by A. H. Bedford, Presiding Elder Richard H Vanderhorst was born in South Carolina, and is 5C years old - a pure specimen of a black man. His religious training and that of his pa rents was under the ancient regime of Charleston Methodism. The preach ing of Dunwoody and capers, and later of Walker, Wightman, Mouzon, and Evans, was their theological school.— Asa member of the Georgi v Colored Conference, ho was appointed the pres ent year in Columbus, where ho has seen service. The two Bishops elect were conse crated to their office, according to our Ritual, by Bishops Paine and McTy eire, on Wednesday evening, in the Conference-room. VV. H. Miles was presented by E. West, and B. Bullard; R. H. Y.mderhorst, by W. P, Church hill and T. N. Stewart, the two pre senters joining respectively in the lay ing on of hands.

And we now do it. Take this chair. Your people, by their voluntary sufferage, have called you, and I welcome you to it; and I pray God to bless and sustain yon in all the duties of your office. Henceforth you are the spiritual guides and governors. ALay you lead them wisely and govern them well? Hike Abraham and Lot, we part—but in peace and for peace.

We have labor ed sot you when they were few who cared for year souls. Our missiona ries are buried on the rice, a l'd cotton, and sugar plantations, who went preaching the gospel to your fathers and to you while slaves. Following the openings of Providence, when you became free you desired an independ ent organization. You thought this would be best for the religions inter est of your race. We acquiesced and promised it, and for tht last four years have been working for tuis consum mation. We gathered you into Quar terly Conferences, Annual Coafeaences, and finally into a General conference. Lastly, we have consecrated the men chosen by you and presented to us, as Bishops, and have installed them- Have we not fulfilled our promises ? [V oicos, X Have we not done all we Xad we would do?
