Wyche: Rssolvei, That it is advisable that a Convention of the Methodi t Ep'scopal Church, South, should be held at as early a day as practicable. Resolved, That the said Convention shou’d be com posed of delegates chosen by the Ministry and Laity. Resolved, That the said Convention sh' uld be organ ized int > two Houses; one House to be composed of Alini-ters, the other of Laymen; to be chosen in such form and manner, as may be ordained by the General Conference. Resolved, That all matters pertaining to the spiritual depart m -nt of the Church should origi ate with the Ministerial Ilou-e, and all matters pertaining to the temporal department should originate with the Lay House; and nothing s icti'd enter into the Organic Haw of the Cl lurch without the sanction of a majority in each House. Resolved, That the delegates of the North Carolina Conference to t e next General Conference of our Church, be and they are hereby instructed to present these re-oJutions to that body, and urge the adoption of such m"ft ures as shall pi omptiy carry into effect all the provisions of the foregoing resolutions. V\ hen these resolutions were called up a very interesting debate ensued, in which Messrs. Clobs, N. F. Reid, R. S. Moran, Dr. Craven and Dr. D >ub, took part. The resolutions were finally withdrawn by the mover by permission of the Confer ence, with a view of giving way to another series of resolutions which it was iritim ited would he subsequently introduced, but which not being submitted to the Confer-* ence cannot therefore be reported. Dr. Deems goes to New York to publish “The Watchman” The Conference ap proved hlft purpose, recommended the pa per and passed resolutions regretting the departure of Pi. Deems from the S ate, and bearing stiong testimony to his Christian and ministerial character and to his qualifi cations as an editor.

Next session of the Conference to beheld in Fayetteville. The Columbus District Appointments. We owe an apology to the Pie-siding El der of the Columbus District for seeming neglect. IDs appointments came in good time, and went into the hands of the com positors, but were mislaid in the office. The Christian Index —J. J. Toon, of At lanta, has purchased the Christian Index ahd the South Western Baptist and will issue from Atlanta, this week, the new series of the Index, to do the work of the two papers in Georgia and Alabama. The Rev. H. H. Tucker, D D., a gentleman of high repute, as a scholar, writer and divine, takes the editorial control o r the paper. It is put at $5 00 per annum, and promises to be a val uable denominational family paper. ■-- . ■ Dr. Sehon, we learn, returning to Georgia, reached Cincinnati, where he was violently attacked with inflammatory rheumatism, and though better, was confined to his bed at last accounts The Methodist , speaking of Dr. Sehon’s visit to the North, says: “This gentleman, tru’y devoted to the Church, South, and yet evidently maintain ing the old love, conceived in former days for his brethren and companions in ea ly toil and joy and sufT ring, comes among us again, and finds not so much sympathy of the kind he seeks as he desires ; but stiil we trust, he sees that it does not come from lack of love to him personally, but from an increasing conviction in the Church here abouts that the far better way for hims' If and all who love Methodism, is to come at once to the old hotmstead, saying nothing of the psst, but simply forsaking H He makes fiiends for himself personally; for liis cause, we think, he is not likely to ef fect much.” . .. , .... ■ ♦ * •- ► ■ - ■ The Southern Baptist General Conven tion has beea invited by the Bethel Asso ciation cf Kentucky, to hold its next an nual meeting in Russellville, in that State. RECENT PUBLICATIONS. Diary op Kitty Trevylyan — A .Story of the Timesoi VVuitefi.-lu and the Wes'eys. By the Author of “The Sctionherg-Cotta Family ”E c For sale by JW. Burke & Cos. Price, $2 00. We want every body to read this charm ing book. There is a fascination about it, that is rare in the books of the present day. The style is good—the discrimination of characters is just—and the religious in struction of the best. There is a simplicity and truthfulness about the narrative that make all the characters real. The sketch es of somßofthe old worthies are admir able; and the influence of the labors of the Wesleys and Whitefield and their co-workers turoughout society, even among those who did not come in direct contact with them, is most beautifully exhibited. The book is one that will do good. It ought to take a high place among the youth of the Sabbath School, and deserves a place in the family library. Capt Russell’s Watchword or I’ll Try.— F.»r sale oy J. W. B irke & Cos. Price, $1 50. This is a most excellent story, by an au thor who has won a good name by books for youth. The book shews what persever ance will do in overcoming the little ob stacles, lying in a boy’s path, constantly tempting him to idleness, and dishearten ing him in every eff>rfc to make a man of himself. Bitter Sweet,— A Poem. By J. G. Hol land, Author of Titcomb Letters, E*c For sale by J. W. Burke & Cos. Pr.ce $2 00. This is j.n unpretending title for a poem that must rank with the best of the.age— a story, a drama indeed, which charms the imagination while it instructs the heart.— The copy we read from.is cf the twentieth thousand—a fact that shows how the pub lic have appreciated the work. Enoch Arden ,bv Alfred Tennyson, D. C L For sale by J. W. Burke & Cos., at prices varying from 50 cents for pamphlet edi tion, to $3 00 in “Blue and Gold.” Can your little prattler talk in verse ? If so, set her to telling the simplest little sto ry ill her own sweet way to “the baby”— telling it in verse, and you may have some idea of the sweet simplicity of Enoch Ar den. Aid yet it is not a childish story, though it be the perfection of simplicity. It teaches a grand lesson of endurance—ot self denial, perhaps even beyond man’s ca pability. ’ The Parables, Read in the Light of the Present Day. By Thomas Guthrie, D. D., Author of “Gospel in Ezekiel.” Etc. For sale by J. W. Burke & Cos. Price, $2 25 An excellent book for general readers, containing many pious sentiments and striking practical thoughts, expressed very happily. A pleasant book to read. PROM THE BOOK AGENT. Book Depository at New Orleans,—Our Publishing House,—The Christian Advocate. Mr Editor :—Will you please announce to your readers that there is a good supply Pf the Books of our catalogue at New Orleans ? Orders sent to Rev. R. J. Harp, or Rev. J. C. Keener, D. D., will receive prompt attention. Brethren in the more Southern Conferences and West of the Mississippi had better, for the pres ent, get their supplies from New Orleans. We have possession of the Publishing House, and will do-our utmost to meet the demands of the Church, but it is proper for me to say, that we are greatly crippled in our operations, and that it will require time and means to put us again ih good working condition. We have on hand many vf> .table books, which we desire to sell and circulate ; and, as in former years, we look for the hearty co-op eration of the preachers. We will, in a few days, give a more extended notice of the works we have on hand. We hope to resume the publication of tht Christian A create next week. I sent you a notice a few days since, which I hope you re ceived and hdve published. Truly, J. B. McFerrin, Agent. Nashville, Deo. 26, 1865. SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. ITEMS PROM NORTH ALABAMA. Churches in Huntsville—Northern Methodism in Tennessee—Emigration fr m the North—Revivals— CJasi meetings—Captain Frauk Gurley. Mr. Editor :—There are two Methodist con gregations in Huntsville, but no Methodist house of worship. The old Methodist Church was burned while occupied by the Federal sol diers—and the flooring, doors, windows, pulpit, althr and pews of the West Huntsville church entirely destroyed. The Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopal and Cumberland Presbyterian church es, were not seriously damaged, if at all de faced. The first charge has secured the old Episcopal church in which to worship; and the West Huntsville charge worships in the Baptist church, as the Baptist brethren have no stated services in the city now. The Missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church from the Cin cinnati Conference, advertises his services for the Court House on Sabbath mornings. I have met the Rev. Mr. Lakin, who rep resents the interests of that church, several times. He seems to be quite an affable, pleas ant gentleman in his spirit and manner, —de- clares that it is not their intention to interfere with our church members or interests, but that they anticipate that a large tide of emigration from the Northern States will soon pour into the South, —that the people are flush of funds —plethoric with the currency of the country— and that Northern men will seek homes in the South and invest their capital in farms, and in trade for the South—that there is a large church extension fund being raised to send Missionaries to the South, secure preaching places, and be ready to receive their emigrant members and organize them into churches. They intend also, to look after the spiritual in terests of the freedmen, superintend their churches, etc., and to receive only “loyal” mem bers into their church from among the whites ; says he does not use the word loyal in an of fensive sense, but simply means, I suppose, such as prefer the M. E. Church to our church. There are also preachers from Northern Conferences in Nashville, Murfreesboro’, Mc- Minnville, Shelby ville, Pulaski and Tullahoma, Tennessee, I believe. He informs me that it is their intention to form a Conference in the territory of our Tennessee Conference, as soon as practicable—that the places already sup plied with preachers are intended as the centres for the future restricts of Presiding Elders. He gave me no hints in reference to the circumfer ences of their future Circuits, Stations, Mis sions, etc. I saw a genteel looking old gentleman, wear ing spectacles, in my congregation the other night. At the close of service I spoke to him, and he informed me that he was the President of the “Wesleyan Female College,” at Cincin nati, Ohio. I did not hear the object of visit to our city,—whether he was looking for a female college for the sable daughters of Afri can descent, or whether he had in view some other object of less importance. The tide of emigration from the Northern States into North Alabama, setsin very slowly, and in Middle Tennessee it is smaller still—de cidedly a neap-tide. Perhaps we do not offer the incentives they desire. A letter from the stationed preacher of Shelby ville, Tenn., in forms me their Missionary had not secured a preaching place. An application to the elders of an unoccupied church for the use of their house, met with a refusal, and a reason assign ed was, that they did not regard their town as missionary ground. They thought the preach ers could find more appropriate fields of labor nearer home, and that it would only serve to engender strife, if they preached there. Shel byville was the strongest Union town iq Mid dle Tennessee before and during the war. If the Missionaries fail there, Burely they will feel like shaking the dust from their feet and turn ing to the Gentiles—perhaps to Georgia. We have been blessed with a very gracious revival in the West Huntsville charge—thirty joined the church. Others will doubtless join soon, and other churches, as usual, will share the fruits of the revival. The attendance at claßs-meetings ev.ery Sab bath, now, is quite large, nearly equal to the number of members belonging to the charge. Prayer-meetings have been well attended all the while. The Sabbath-school is in a most, prosperous condition. Two-thirds of the num ber of conversions during the meeting, were members of the Sab’bath-school. Frank Gurley—the sheriff elect, of this coun ty, is still in irons, closely guarded, under sen tence of death, but Respited until his friends can represent his case in Washington. He was a commissioned officer in the Confederate army— captured and tried for killing Gen. McCook, of the Federal army. Before the decision of the Court-Martial was returned approved from Washington, he had been exchanged. After the close of the war, he returned home and was recently elected sheriff of the county, by a large majority. Soon, an order came for his arrest, and it was announced that he had been under sentence of death for ene year or longer. I never saw a community so shocked and filled with horror in my life, as whsn it was announced he was to be speedily executed. All who know him, speak of him as a high-toned, honorable man. Nothing could sadden all humane hearts here more than his execution. I made appli cation to the Post Commandant here, to see him in the capacity of minister. Two other minis ters did the same, but Col. Johnson refused us the privilege. During the war, I attended men under sentence of death from both armies, and never before was denied access to a prisoner condemned to death. The congregations here were quite small on thanksgiving day. Many do not feel thankful for the state of affairs here. I feel profoundly grateful to God that I am alive, and that my field of labor is not in Missouri. S. M. Cherry. Huntsville, Ala., Dee. *lth, 1865. MARRIED, On the 12th of Dec., by the Rev. Thomas G.
