Lansing Burrows, of Kentucky, as secretary, with Eev. O. F. Gregory, of South Carolina, assistant secretary. The first afternoon was occupied in hearing the reports of the secretaries of onr two great boards—the Home Mission Board and the Foreign Mission Board.

Atlanta, Ga., May 8, 1882- To the County School Commissioners and Members of the County Boards of Educa tion—Qamsea: I propose to hold three Teachars’ilnatitutes in Georgia the ap proaching summer. Teachers’ institutes are temporary schools for instructing teachers who are themselves actually en gaged in the work of instruction. Many of our teachers ere poorly qualified for their work—so muih so that in many cases the public do not receive an equivalent for the money expended. The host of the teaohere can be improved. In onr institutes we expect to devote the time mainly to the following subjects, via: spelling, reading, penmanship, English grammar, greograpby and arithmetic. One teaohor will be pnt iu charge of the first three branches, and one in charge of each of the others. There will thus’ be four teachers legtllar’y employed at each institute. The most experienced teachers on aooonnt of pensions. litmus Bisson wsa in Cuthbert last week and had good audiences. Tbs fruit crop in Whitfield oesmty this season will be rimply immense. Rows Courier says emphatically, that there is no small-pox in that city. O* Thursday last CoL James M. Ball, of Atlanta, was stricken with paralysis. Mss. J. K. Parse*, a moet estimable Know Brown’s fidelity to principle, it may be* stated that be lately, in the United States Senate, avowed himself a close comma- I nion Baptist, and hoped that no political action would bo taken that would -hinder I or embarrass the mission work in China. A report on certain ohangee in the by laws of the constitution, was brought in by Mr. Kerfoot,of Baltimore,some very valua ble and useful ones,calculated to add to the efficiency of onr two great boards. The difficulty hitherto has been to reach the masses of our people, and we think we are beginning to effect that by new methods. Somehow, there has been a dissatisfaction for several years with onr methods as being insufficient to reach and arouse the laity and obtain from them oon- tribu tions commensurate with the numbers and ability of oat denomination. And aa one grand/step towards a change which it is hoped will result beneficially, a commit tee hu recommended the removal of our Homo or Domestio Mission Board to At lanta, Ga., and the matter will be diaoussed on Saturday morning—to morrow. It is also suggested that: the Home Board elect u many diatrlM secretaries as they deem noeeeia- ry.

There has been already a good deal of newspaper talk in regard to moving this board, bnt what it will oome to I cannot pretend to forecast. The discussion, how ever, will prove interesting, and, in my opinion, wul result in seating the board more strongly in the affections of the Southern Baptists, for to annnl, cancel or destroy that board will be the prelude to j the destruction or dissolution of the South ern Baptist Convention. During the morning a telegraphio dis patch wu received from our missionary at Shanghai, China, referring to the 46th isealh, but after a short time revived and wu apparently uninjured.

A long discussion ensued, testing through yesterday and to-day, and the con ference adjourned till to-morrow, when the discussion will be renewed. The proba bilities are that the motion to strike out will not prevail, and that we will have six j new bishops. (Jf oourse everybody is on tip-toe now to hear itho they will be. One brother who favored a smaller number than six, said he doubted whether there were six men who wonld make good bishops. In reply Bev. Dr. Hinton said he had no doubt there were plenty of good men who would grace the bishop's chair. He said he believed that wherever there wu an Elijah to address the convention in reference to the various educational institutions at the. South, for the benefit of tbe oolored race, owned and conducted by the Baptist Home Mission Society, of New York. He made a splendid address and spoke in glowing terms of the efficiency and usefulness of those schools or seminaries at Bieh- moud, Nashville, Columbia.
