There were extreme views on both sides of the ques tion.

Alarming Reports Atj-uc the Crops We copy the following from tho Columbus Enquirer. We have heard many reports, this season, of planters putting everytliing to the atraiu in tht L-ffort to make largo cotton crops, to tho total 01 partial neglect of corn; tint wo yesterday receiv ed reports from the country above ns that an realty startling, as well as discouraging, au ob serving and intelligent gentleman and planter, just returned from a visit to the Northern por- of Georgia, informs ns that iu that region fully thirty per cent, more cotton has boon p ant- 1 this year than last, to the loss of that amount of the corn crop; and that through the country between Atlanta and Columbus, to use hi* expressive language, com enough has not been plauted to feed the dickens! Wo have heard of planters in this vicinity who havo large fields of cotton planted, and not an aero in ce Another gentleman, siso a planter and a very intelligent man, informs us that during a trip from this city to Society Hill, Ala., and back few days sinco, he funad or heard of only two places where lie could havo his horso fed on , and that at both of these place* it was shelled corn front a sack I The country is desti tute of corn, except what has been hteiy brought from the West. And yet piautcrs aro making cotton the primary object, and corn r. crop oi e ua.1 importance! Travel ia whatever direction you may, on the railroads or the Ctmmon roads of the country, and you will see field* of cottuu along tho route stretching far back on either side, while the tii-Ma of c >rn are email au J far between. Tho chief article 1 now daily carried in wagons from the city to the country aro corn, hay and bacon. For eomo time past commercial fertilizers have been claiming a shore of each loan, bnt these ertilizers were for cotton, not for corn. The presumption is a strong one that a large portiou of the cotton crop of tdeyear ia already pledged for corn, bacon, and fenilizfrs. The gentleman first nime J above was in a des ponding mood about Georgia, and it was not her critical political relations that gave him moetooncera, but tho prevalent phrenzy for planting big crops of cuton and neglecting pro visions. Ho could seo nothing but impoverish m tho polity. In his opinion, one of tho great est blessings that coulu to showered npon this country would be a killing frost at a period ao late in the season that the fields planted in cot ton would have to be replanted with corn and other prov sion crops. This would be a violent interposition of Fnrtiience for tbe relief of in fatuated man, such as wo do not often experi ence in this generatir n. Bat it is not yet too late for sensible men to do' something for their own relief, and. that of their section, without the frost. If they sell cotton noxt winter, for 15 cents per pound, and hard to boy large'/ of com at $1.50 or $2 per bnihel, they may be made to eee how it is tlmt a May iroet could be a great blessing instead of a • al unity out of season. living, or disgusted with life, too weak or ton cowardly to fight, adversity, some times only temporary, men and women defy every principle of religion and com mon sense, and take their lives into their own hands. It is curious to read in His tory the apologies found for the crime of suicide. All that was necessary oexenae the act. was a so-called reason for it, or a fancied necessity for it. Longinus, os a prisoner, took poison, in order to free his Emperor, Trajan, from tho proposed hard condition, of his surrender. Seneca thought suicide better than helpless old age, and in the case of his young friend, Tullius Marcelinas, advised suicide rath er than a lingering, though not incurable disease. “Fear not death,” indeed, was among the advance doctrine of the Stoics. Have tho S toics come to life again in the 19th century? One would suppose so, from the recent tragedies among us, both in the crime of suicide and in the higher crimes of great wrongs to others. We are reminded of them when we'hear such preachers sits Frothingham and Beecher, though both profess to believe in God, if not in Christian revelation. They first deify a criinitial, and then pray God to ble -s their past at d present relations. Tney many those to whom Christ and the Cl r.stian religion forbid union, and set at defiance law and docent public opinion. One can pardon much to friendship, but that friendship which calls npon a public man ostentatiously to do a great wrong is indefensible. One of the s-ven sages of Greece, who made no pre- e ee to religion, I eeaifre he had no kno ledge of it, congratulated himself »ud friends that at the close of along life tho only act that saddened it was the fact that Le had allowed the love of n friend to»bscure his sense of justice. With such examples, even the heatheu Homes.” «P< It has not been appoints A special committee oi six were appoint ed to take under consideration the necess ity of publishing a Sunday school music book expressly for their own denomina tion. . A committee consisting of one delegate from each Conference was orderd to take under their supervision the finances of the Church. The quudrenial address of the College of Bishops was read by Bishop Wight- man. It was an admirable production, full of practical wisdom and earnest sug gestion. It was referred to appropriate committees. The Committee on Education were in structed to give especial attention to the subject of educating young men for the ministry. Several speeches were made, all tending to the same end, that a more thought bystem ought to bo adopted. Tue most prominent matters to come before the Conference are the “Boundry Question.” “Length of Pastoral Term,” and the election of more Bishops. Tho boundry issue involves a large pro portion of the entire churches. There will be a persistent effort to make con ference lies conform to State lines/ and there will bo a very stubborn resistance in opposition to the scheme. The extensions of the pastoral term to four ye.ira by the General Conference in 1608 has not met with that favor which its advocates believe or claimed.

No on courage ment can be offered to immigra tion, capital will not venture into the South to a degree sufficient to materially strengthen her as long os the present dom inant party sustains its power there by the bullet: and the bayonet, as it certainly does to-day, ia keeping thirty thoasuntl troops in tho Southern States to overawe the white citizens, and protect the nit in their political debauchery. No!— When the South " accepted tho situa tion, ” she simply riveted the shackles np on her own h mbs. God help her! She cannot help herself. She is tired of war and conflict, needs and seeks repose, hopes and prays for prosperity, while alas 1 the heel of the despot, after five yean of peace, is still on her neck, and his chains still fette r her proud, prostrate, but' not conquered spirit. It is a sad picture, and when it fii 1 end, or how, or where, is in the womb of the future; but we have an abiding faith that there is yet to be, tho’ long in its coming, an awful visitation of justice upon tho administration of Grant, and the corrupt mongrels aiding it. In the next conflict, should it come, the North will have to strike a blow for her self and the" South, at the same time. If tho encroachments continue, the blow cannot long be delayed.—N.-Y.

I was shown a relic of Methbdjsm to day in the shape of a rtzor nud strap, which was useu by Bishop Ashery, the first American Bishop during that year 1781, and subsequently until his death. The strap is about eight inches in length, two inches iu breadth, aud half an men iu thickueod. There is a cell within the strap wuere the raz jr is deposited. It is made oi cherry wood, rather, roughly prepared, bearing the seal of His Majea ty, the Ktue of England. The razoi blade is about five iuenes iu length, more in shape of the common case-kuife thuu the razor of the present day, mount ed with a black horn handle. It was sent by George J.
