In attestation of the approval of the whole Church of this measure, we are gratified to see in this body so large a number of Lay Dele gates, representing the intelligence, piety and strength of tho Connection.

During 1869 there were built in the United States 6,588 miles of railroad - nearly twice as many as in any previous year. Three hundred new roods are projected or under contract, which, when completed, will make 15,000 ad ditional miles. This inarch of public improve ment may be token as the fairest index of na tional prosperity. What time, what country can show anything like it ? The vitality and power that colls into existence these magic levers of commerce with a rapidity that mokes reality almost a fable, most be wonderful in deed The Cincinnati Horticultural Society held its weekly meeting last Saturday. Interesting discussions on Sulphur Cure, Colorado Potato Bug, Strawberries, Locusts, Cureulio, took plan. It is doubtless very useful in promot ing :he improvement of horticulture.

Without intending a disparaging compari son between the piety of the present day, and of our fathers in the eady days of Metho dism, we fed it right to say that we are defi cient as to several matters which were for merly regarded as aids and teats of Methodis- tic piety. We allude, especially to the neglect of ctass and prayer-meetings; of tasting and abstinence; of family and secret prayer; and the indulgence in worldly pleasures. In some, if not all of these things, we fear our people, not to say our preachers, too, fall below the pat tern set us ny tne piety of our fathers in other days. We do not mean that this declension is universal, but gladly admit that there are targe numbers who exhibit the an cient marks of Methodistic piety in an intelligent and ardent devotion to God, and in firm attachment to our doctrines and discipline. The action of the last General Conference modifying the rule ou class-meetings, so that attending them should not be a condition of Church member ship, has been construed, unfortunately, by some as abolishing them. We do not so un derstand it; aud we regard these meetings to be so promotive of the spiritual prosperity of the Church, aud so essential hi the efficient working of our economy, that wo are very re luctant to see them foil, in any measure, into disuse. While attendance upon these meet ings is not a condition of membership, yet we do not consider that pastors have been released from the appointment and oversight of leaders, classes, anti at least a quarterly visitation, and report We recommend to the General Con ference the consideration of this subject in connection with a pastor’s duty.

Below we extract from the able and inter esting address of the Bishops, which we re gret we have not space to publish in fall: ADDRESS OF THE BISHOPS. To the General Conference of tie JJ. £ Church South: Beloved Brethren: Wc would join you iu de vout thanksgiving to God that another quad rennial session of your body has occurred Representing, as you do, all parts of our wide field of tabor, conversant with their conditions and wants, and invested with authority over the whole Church, we beg respectfully to re mind you of the importance of prayerful, vigi lant, and impartial attention to the duties of your delicate aud responsible position. Wc trust that the subjects which may be brought liefure you will be discussed and decided as ii: the immediate presence of God, and with di rcct refereec to the welfare of the whole Church. BISHOP SOULE. With profound emotion we announce to you that since your lost session our venerable and beloved colleague, Joshua Soule, had deputed this life. His death occurred in Nashville, Term., March 6, 1867, in the 87th year of his life, and the 70th year of his itinerant minis- tiy. In many respects Bishop Soule was a remarkable man. At the time of his death he was, probably, the oldest traveling preacher in America, if not in the world; and was thus tho connecting link between the Methodism of Wesley and Asbury and that of the present day. Throughout his whole ministerial life he was eminently devoted to God, and em ployed exclusively in the service of the Church; often filling positions of the highest responsibility, and always honorably and use fully. His mind was clear and vigorous, his deportment dignified, and liis whole course was marked by consistency, purity and un swerving fidelity to principle. Whether viewed as a man, a Christian or a minister, or as fill ing the highest office in the Church for forty- three years, his character deserves to be held in the highest esteem, and his memory to lie perpetuated in the history of the Church. Wo devoutly thank God for such a man, and for the gilts and grace which rendered his event ful life so useful, his declining years and dos ing day so beautifully serene, so sublimely tri umphant. THE ITINERANT SYSTEM. But it is a matter of devout gratitude that poverty and persecution—even unto stripes and death, in some cases —have only tested and increased the attachment and "fidelity of our ministers and the general body of our membership, to the Church. The itinerant E rcachers, although very meogerly supported, ave, in general, been faithful to their ordina tion vows, and have persevered, os best they could, in performing their duties. By the blessing of God this has resulted in the main tenance of oar Itinerant system, and the steady and increasing prosperity of all the enterprises We invite your attention, specially, to the subject of Family Religion and the Christian training of children. Its importance cannot be over-estimated. Regular family worship, morning and night, accompanied with the consecutive reading of the Scriptures, is so morally fit, reasonable, and salutary, that to us it seems strange that tl»e keatjs of Christian families can feel guiltless in neglecting it While we rejoice in tho greatly increased in terest exhibited in behalf of Sunday-schools, we ore sure that there can be no substitute for religious training in the family. The impress, whether for good or evil, made by family-in struction and example is indelible. In the Home-circle is found a domestic and Patriar chal Church; the training-school of the king dom of Christ; the pledge and foretaste of the bliss of the kingdom above. Indulgence in worldly and fashionable di versions is another great enemy of earnest piety which is invading the Church, and threat ening to estrange our children from us. Danc ing, in particular, whatever plausible excuses may be pleaded for it, is destructive to the growth, not to sny the very existence of spirit ual religion in those who delight to indulge in It Generally, it is a species of “reveling” condemned and forbidden by the word of God; and its tendency is evil only. THE MISSIONARY WORK. We regret that we have not been able to ex tend our Foreign Missionary work, since yonr body assembled last, owing to the want of funds. Indeed, after all the efforts which have been made, we have not liquidated in full the old debt contracted during the war. There is, however, a strong probability that this very desirable result will be accomplished be fore long. Our Domestic Missions have mul tiplied, aud with increasing usefulness. Your attention is particularly invited to tho great and effectual door now open iu tho West— From the mouth of tho Kansas river to the Golden Gate, and from tho Rio Grande to Pu get’s Sound, there is a field becoming popu lous more rapidly than any iu which our fath ers labored in their day. No louder cadi has fallen on the car of the ministiy than that which comes to ns from this vast region. Other forms of religion, some of them cc rapt, are pressing their missions with aston ishing vigor. All along the line of the Union and Pacific Railroad they have secured real estate; and at many places they already have church edifices on ccmmanding sites. They lavish money iu gaining a foothold there, where, in the course of a few years, as they foresee, there will be populous and enter prising comnmnties. Much of this pop ulation will be from our own country', and in sympathy with us; yet, up to this moment, we have done nothing towards the occnpancy of the country, lour Bishops are receiving repeated and most nrgeut calls for men. But in the very nature of the case, we can send no men unless the Church at home will send money to meet the first expen ses incurred. This is all properly missionary ground at present, including Oregon and Southern Californio. In Central California, the work is for the most part self-sustaining, and, indeed, prepared to aid the common en terprises of the Church. We feel assured that money expended on this great field will yield as rich a harvest as has ever l»een gathered from such sowing. SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY. We must perpetuate an Itenerant ministry, separated to the holy office, and consecrated to the care of souls: with all of time and thought and energy devoted to their sole and appropriate work. But to enable them to do this the Church must make provision for a proper supply of their wants. While it af fords us pleasure to say that in most of our wide field of operations there lias been wit nessed a decided improvement, yet there is no doubt of the foct that in some sections there is still a great deal of negligence in raising the means of support, and of consequent priva tion and suffering among tho preachers. Do not the members of the Church Leed to be specially instructed and trained iu this class of religions obligations ? SUPPLY OF CANDIDATES FOB THE MINISTRY. Our attention has been, of late years, ar rested by the inadequate supply of young men offering themselves to the work of the minis try, either for the home or the foreign mis sionary work. May wo not assume that Christ, the Redeemer of all men, the Interces sor for all, does call men to the holy office, in numbers sufficient to the demands of His cause in the world ? The fault must be with us. How soon would an increase of piety and zeal in the Church supply the remedy for this defi ciency. What can be done to arouse our whole communion to united, fervent prayer to “ the Lord of the harvest that He will send forth la borers into His vineyard ? ” SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Wc think you may find it practicable to adopt measures that will secure a uniform scheme of instruction, with texts furnished at our owti Publishing House; together with the enlargement of the “Sunday School Visitor,” and possibly, in addition to that paper, the publication of a monthly journal adapted to teachers and the older classes of pupils. It is vexy desirable that there should be an im provement both in the character and price ol the books prepared for the use of Sunday school libraries. We recommend the appoint ment of of a suitable person to be specially en trusted with tho oversight of these vital in terests. LITERATURE OF THE CHURCH. We cannot consent to surrender to others the vast power and influence wielded by the press: no Church can safely do so. In pro portion to the potency of this influence is the solemn obligation resting on us to guard and guide the press. It must maintain a high re ligious tone—neither subsidized by wealth or powet, nor perverted by ambition to partisan and political purposes. It should aim steadily at conserving the eonnectionalisin of the Church; and be committed to trustworthy and competent men who love the whole Church too well to put in peril her unity and peace. We should hail with rapture the day that saw a first-class religions and literary newspaper in every Methodist family, and our standard works in every library. There is allow ns to add, pressing need of greater facilities for procuring our standard literature on the Pacific slope. Our Church has suffered greatly from the difficulty of ob taining even a Hymn Book and Discipline. If, in your wisdom, any relief can be afforded, a great want will be supplied. We congratulate you upon the ability and fidelity of those to whom the Journalism of the Church has been entrusted during the past four years, and especially upon the energy, ability, and success of the Agent and of tho Editor of the Publishing House. j COLORED CONFERENCES. Soon.after the last session of your body, the Bishop proceeds to *iny into effect the plan adopted for the religions benefit of our colored members. The effort met with the approval and concurrence of many of them, notwithstanding tho prejudices which .were attempted—too snccessfqBy in many instan ces—to be instilled into their minds against us. A great number of them still retain their attachment to tho Church, and ministry that had in the past bestowed so much attention and labor upon their religious instruction, and through whose instrumentality they had been'enlightened and converted. Still, it is true that many, thus disposed, have been alienated from our communion by political and ecclesiastical influences. Conformably to tho wish of tho last General Conference; we have organized and presided over five Annual Conferences, composed ex clusively of colored members; have formed forty-five districts, with circuits and stations, in all of which, with a few exceptions in which white preachers have volunteered to act os sup. plies, our colored brethren are performing the duties of presiding elders and pastors. The principal field of these operations extends through portions of Georgia, Tennessee, Ken tucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Ala bama, South Carolina add Florida, and is widening by applications fw. the organization of new Conferences. The oolored preachers have condscted themselves, both in their An nual Conferences and in the-exercise of their pastoral duties, so as to win the confidence and co-operation of those of their 'white brethren who have become best acquainted with their deportment It is onr purpose, unless other wise advised by yonr body, to call a General Conference, to be holden next winter, for the purpose of organizing them into an entirely separate Church, and thos enabling them to become their own guides and governors. DISTRICT MKET1XU8. The suggestion of District Meetings, origin ating at the last session of the Genera! Con ference, has been practically adopted, under the sanction of the Annual Conferences, with signal benefit to the cause of religion. At these meetings the lay representatives to the Annnal Conferences nave been elected; the leading minds of the Church, lay os well as clerical, have been brought together, impressed and moved with new zeal; the Bishops, as far as they eould flnd the opportunity to attend, have had a new and important field of influ ence opened to them, and the results have been of great value to all the prominent interests of the Chnrcb, spiritual as well as economical. The address was heartily approved by many leading members of the Conference and refer red to appropriate committees, OX THE STANDING CQjpjITTEUS We note tfie following members, representa tives of the South Georgia aud North Georgia Conferences; On Episoopacy: E.

From the Ohio State Joarual.] Kalamazoo, Mich., May 3, 1870. Our party left Cincinnati on an early morn ing train, disguised, in order to deceive the police, who would otherwise have foiled to comprehend that we meant business. For ob vious reasons, full names will not be given in this account M. H. was disguised as a baggage master. He remarked to your reporter, confidentially, that he bedam if he was going to lose all liis time iu this foolishness, and be would just take this opportunity to seo whether the Morn ing Commercial was promptly delivered along the whole lino, and it he foond any those biggodd agents slinking—and he closed the sentence by bringing his hand down on my shoulder with unpleasant emphasis. W. McL. was disguised in the most impene trable manner, in Forest’s costamo of Meta- mora. I learn that he belonged to one of the Miami tribes of Indians, so that this was a natural disguise. He had not been aboard more than five minntes before every ^porter ou the train had borrowed money of him. It is not proper that I should describe the entire party, many of whom would doubtless wish to remain Unknown. For myself, I have no fears, having seen service, but most of the gentlemen may feel some timidity about hav ing their names connected with this dangerous business. The preliminaries of the duel were arranged here comfortably and in security, and nothing of consequence happened except that one of the seconds, in loading the pistols of his prin cipal, accidentally shot away the first joint of his thumb, and narrowly escaped killing the chambermaid. This was to have been ex pected, however, os the gentleman had never loaded a pistol in his life, and had to ask the chambermaid what the hammer of the pistol was for. He thought the pistol could be dis charged by inserting the ramrod iu the breech when one was ready to fire. About lour o’clock in the morning the whole party left the hotel in the most secret and mys terious manner, all going ont by different ways —some through doors and some by windows— so as to mislead any person who might have accidentally seen any of the party. We found that same objectionable policeman on the alert, and he _ was promptly^ knocked down and kicked into insensibility, as the only way of getting rid of him. There was a great wrangle on the grounds about measuring off the distance. J. B. McC. was determined that he would “step it off,” but it was unanimously objected by all the sec onds of both principals that his legs were too short. The F. C. said his honorable friend had made one pretty wide straddle, from Radi cal correspondent to Democratic editor, and he thought he would do. 4 D—n it! don’t point that pistol this way in that careless manner, or I shall withdraw from the case! ” roared one of the seconds, as H-—d flourished his pistol. McL. wrs prac ticing on the cock and half-cock, so that when the time came he would be sure to make no mistake. I just expected that somebody would get hurt, and I began to feel certain it would not be one of the principals either. Finally the seconds declared that everything was ready, and the principals took their places. As a compliment to Mr. McC., who felt rather sore over the short leg business, he was al lowed to give the word, which he did os fol lows: Arreyeriddy? Won, two, three—shoot and be damned toyez." Simultaneously one pistol went off and the other one didn’t McL. struck the ground about half way between the two, and a yard or so to their right H d’s pistol did not “go off” “Who loaded that pistol V” demanded he, fiercely. T did,” said one of the seconds, falteringiy. And on investigation it turned out that he had put in the cartridge (fixed ammunition) wrong end up. “You d—d fool, Don’t you know anymore about loading a pistol than that!” roared H. The poor man protested he thought that was the right way, and wanted to know why the devil they whittled the upper end of the bullet to get a point, unless for the conveni ence of loading, in order that it might be got in easily? Nobody seemed able to answer this auestion. . McL. declared liis honor was satisfied, bat H d swore like a pirate or Horace Greeley at this, and demanded another shot—or,at least, one shot. Said he felt it in his bones that if he could only get a shot he could knock the d—d daylight out of somebody. The seconds by this time began to feel os if they were vete rans, and they unanimously decided that the gentlemen should have one more shot H—d’s seconds at first claimed that he was one shot behind, and that McL. should not fire until H. caught up; but H. settled the business by shouting: “If he will only shoot at me, so as to make it a safe thing for me, he can shoot away all day if he likes.” So the pistols were carefully loaded, and everything got right this time. Each grasped .his pistol firmly, like a watchman’s dub, aud waited for the word. The explosion of both pistols was the signal for a yell from a wounded second on each side. One of H d’s seconds had a bad flesh wound on the lower end of the spine; and one of McL.*s seconds was shot through the com missary department This ended the fight Tho F.

Aaron Alpeoria Bradley.—A day or two since this somewhat notorious colored individual ar rived in this city, and on last Sunday night it was announced in the colored churches that he would deliver an address in front of the City Hall on the following afternoon. Yesterday the “ calls ” were circulated, which invited oil opposed to the new system of slavery in Geor gia inaugurated by Bullock and Terry, to at tend the meeting to be held that evening. About half past four or five o’clock the wauhoo of the Ogechee mounted the steps of the City Hall, and commenced his address to a few hundred oolored men and women who had as sembled in front of the building. The harangue of tho “Senator from tho First District” lasted about an hoar and a half, and was based on a petition and a series of resolutions which the sneaker said he in tended to present to the United States Con gress. These stated, in substance, that a new sytern of slavery had sprang up in Georgia, nearly as bod as the old one—viz: the chain- gang system, or the hiring out of convicts to railway contractors, who starve, whip, work and shoot them to death; that General Terry had refused to break up this iniquity, and that Bullock was believed to have an interest in the operation; asking that both Bollock and Terry be removed, and General Sheridan be appointed to the command of Georgia. Iu support of this petition the wauhoo spoke denouncing Teriy, Bullock and, wliat he truth fully termed, the mongrel Legislature. He charged that the men now running the State government were not Republicans, as they claimed to be, but the betrayers of that party. He was particularly severe on the State Road, of which Bollock is President, and its man agement, stating that oolored men who wished to ride upon it, and had paid full faro, w ere not allowed to enter the decent cars, but were made to enter cattle boxes. He ridiculed Bul lock's stories about the Ku Klux, saying that they were gotten up for effect. Tho speech throughout was exceedingly bitter and severe upon the Bollock ring, characterizing the Governor as a weak, dishonest and vain who engaged in plundering the State, and who had become completely spoiled since his ele vation to power—the heighth of his ambition being to wear his breeches in his boots, ride a fine horse, and who carried his head so for back, because he had not brains enough to hold it forward. The speech was well received by liis au dience, and at ita conclusion a targe number of signatures were added to the petition. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. 1 Atlanta, Ga..

ATLv. d, GEORGIA, April 25,1870. this notice, that on WEDNESDAY, tho 22d June next, an election will bo held in this city, to fill the va cancy. AR members, as well as those who may become for the year 1870, and to access to the Fair Grounds, and the privilege of exhibiting articles for premium, without farther charge, will be entitled to vote. Mem bers who live at a distance can vote by proxy or by en dorsing their ballots to the President. The order, and mode, and place of holding the election, will be pub lished in the newspapers of the city, on the morning of the election. Persons wishing to become candidates must make it known in such time and manner as they deem proper. The President sought to obviate the expense and in convenience to members and tho necessity of holding this election at a season so important to planters, by addressing a letter to those gentlemen who were sup posed to be legal members of the Society—giving them the names of the gentlemen who wero candidates, and asking them to communicate to him by letter their choice, intending, when all tho votes were received, to open them in the presence of Mr. E. C. Rawson, the resident member of the Executive Committee, and the Assistant Secretary, and announce the result When the time had nearly arrived when these votes were to be opened and counted, a communication was received from a number of gentlemen, who, perhaps, had been members for a previous year, but who were not mem bers by the payment of the initiation fee, $2. claiming the privilege of voting, and declaring that if not per mitted to vote by paying now tho 82 fee, they would con test the election as illegal, and resist the payment of the salary of any Secretary elected without their votes being counted, as illegal. Pending the time between the determination to hold the election in the manner first proposed and the counting out of the votes, many gentlemen had called on me to know if persons who paid now and became members could vote in this elec tion. I decided, and so informed them, that it was not lawful or right for persons, after the polls were opened and the election in progress, who were heretofore sc indifferent to tho interests of the Society, as not to be come members, now, in the eleventh hour, to take ad vantage of locality and proximity to the scene, aud come in, and. by means and numbers, carry ai portant election over the heads of those few legal bers who. merely through motives of pure and unself ish interest in the cause of Agriculture, renewed their membership, and thus gave their names and means to the society. This ruling was in accordance with the individual life membership, and $2 membership for the year only in which it was made, the year expir ing with the close of the first Annual Fair thereafter. 1 am conscious of rectitude and no personal interest in this matter. Ever anxious in my administration of the business ef8bs Society, to be legal and just, and. to extend the influence of the Society, and to produce the greatest harmony, I have condtuded to yield to tin views of the gentlemen whose interest in behalf of one of the candidates induced them to mako the protest referred to, though in justioe to the motives of the gen tlemen referred to, I must express my belief that they made the threat to attack the validity of the election proposed to be held in ignorance of the rules of the Society. In adopting the course now laid down in this notice. revenue of the Society. The thanks of the Society are due, and hereby ten dered to the press of the State, far their liberality in giving publicity and circulation to the cards and no tices of the Society, and the favor is asked of the publication of this notice in all the papers of the State, it being one of the most important it has ever issued. Cards of membership will be sent to all editors and publishers who will publish this notice and send a copy of the paper containing the notice to the Secretary' Cards of membership will be furnished each member of the Executive Committee fr*un whom they may be obtained by peraon* wishing to become members by the payment of $2.
