Or in the case of a preacher having joined another cburch, and expressing a desire the return, can do eo withont any recommendation from « quarterly conference Another question, relating to the rightef & party accured of crime to oppose, the taking of depositions, he answered affirmatively; for, said he, if the party accused bad the right to object to the taking of depositions, many & criminal might escape condemnation. The Rev. Mr. Whitsey, of the Northwest (Wiscontin), Conference, was in'rodneed to the bedy, and invited toa seat within the bar of the house. On moticn ofthe Rev. N. J. B. Morgan, the Conference proceeded to fix npoa the pl for the next session of the body, when M insburg, Baltimore City Station, and Alexan- dria were putin nominati@h. Baltimere City Station was selected, with butone dissenting vote. The first question, ‘Who are admitted on trial?” was taken up. when Josepn B. Stitt, of Foundry Station, ashington, and Owen F. Waters, of Biadensburg circuit, were recom = mended by their respective (Juarteriy Confer ences. Rev. J. Collins remarked that he knew noth- ing of Brother Waters, but he had heard that Bladensburg was avery disloyal circnit. and he wanted to know if it was probaple that a disloyal cireuit would recommend a loyal man. He was himself a loyal man, and would alwaysoppose those who are not loyal, The Rev. E. P. Phelps and the Rev. Wm. Prettyman testifled tothe loyalty of Mr. Wa- ters, When both recommendations were ap- proved. “The Rev. Mr. Lanahan moved thatthe Rey. Joseph R. Wheeler be reco:nized as & member of this body; which wasadopted. Mr. W. bad been in Virginia, and had not attended the sessions of the Conference for several years. A resolution was adopted requesting the Bishop not to appoint the same time for the meetings of the Baltimore and East Baltimore Annual Conferences. The report of the Committee on the Tract uause was read, which contained resoludons of adherence to the cause so productive of good, and requesting that collectiens be taken up for its aid. The report was adopted. Rey. L. F. Morgan, of the Committee on Ne~ cessitous Cazes, present & report, with resolu- tionsjappropriating $700 for the relief of preach- ers, and $300 tor the edncation of preachers’ children The report was accepted and the resolutions adopted. The report of the Committee 6n Temperance was read, in which it is deplored that the Church is not sufficiently aroused tothe im- portance of itscause and expressed the fear that professors of religion are not sufficiently carefulin training up theirchildren in this regard. An accompanying resolution deter- mined to preach sermons and use every effort to promote the cause of temperance. The re- port was adopted. Rey. T. Sewell presented a communication from the Wilmington Female Uollege; which ‘was referred to the Committee on Seminaries. Rev. Dr. Nadal made & report in the case of Rev. J. N. Davis against Rev. John Lananan, that the charges are not sustained by the eyi- "dence The report was adopted. i The body then took a recess until 11 o'clock, the hour appointed for the preaching of the nual missionary sermon. wat 11 o’clock Rev. Dr. Nadal, who had been appointed to preach the annual missionary ser- mon, ascended the pulpit and began by singing the hymar “Jesusshallreign where’er the ean.” After the preliminary service, Dr. N. took for the foundation cf his discourse a part of the ninth verse of the 1/th chapter of Isaiah, “For the earth shall be full of the Knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” The subjects of the discourse were sin and redemption, the first as caused by the disobe- dience of the first Adam, and the second by the mercy of the second Adam, our Lord. The plan of the redemption was noted in the covenant ‘with Abraham, when it was said that “in thy seed shaliall the nations of the earth be blessed,’” and the triumph over sin there prophest . He wtuted thet thue far three fanrt! poeple ef the world are heathens, and nearly one-half are savages. while only one-tenth of those who are nominally Christians are free from igno- ranee, prejudice, and passion. There is an innate sense ef right and wrong in every man, whether civilized or heathen, and it is not the intention of God to permit that sense to remain. forever dethroned. Under the government of God the reign of right will prevail, and in His own time He will develop thetriumph. The world is better now than ever before, and to establish that assertion called attention to Rome and Greecein the Augustan age, when the truth of God was changed into alie. The speaker then proceeded toshow thatthe French Revolution, the long war of the Netherlands, and the late Italian war were evidences of the world’s improvement; and the war now raging in this country may show an improvement of the world. The Union might have been sayed without the shedding of adrop of blood, bat the nation said, Hew can we permit this, and sin against our brother? It wammione to estab. lish the equality ef man, and it is waged to thatend. This discourse was nearly an hour long, and attracted much attentica. After singing the doxo!igy, and the benedic- tion, Conference Was called to order by the Bishop. On raotion of the Rey. John Lanahan, the thanks of the body were tended to Dr. Nadal for his able discourse, and he was requested to furnish a copy for publication. Conterence adjourned U_S.

The Rebel Steamer ‘‘Stonewall’’ Closely Watched—Effect ef the Failure he New York, March 6.—The steamer Balti- more, from Liverpool, on the 22d ultimo, has arrived. It is reported that the Federal steamers Ni- Bg: and Sacramento are cruising off Ferrol, as watching the rebel steamer ‘“Stone- wall. The Cuba’s news confirmirg the failure of the peace negotiation caused aslight depression in American securities ard improvement in cork, butthe improvement was afterwards ost. In the House of Lords, during an important debate on the detence of Canada, Lord Lyre- den called attention to the matter, and pointed to the hostile feelings of the Americans, aad urged thatimmediate measures be taken for the defence of the provinces. Earls De Fray, and Ripon, admitted the im- portance of the subject, but regretted that any doubt should be expressed of the conciliatory intention of the American Government. He exp/ained that the measure proposed by the Government would ask @ vote of £50,000 for the Quebec defences, while the Canadians would undertake the defences of Montreal! and westward. Earl Derby thought the position of the Gov- ernment was humiliating when the question of peace or war depended on an excitable populace, with strong prejudices against Eng- jJand. He strongly censured the Government for having £0 long delayed the defences, and ridiculed the smallness of the amount asked. Earl Granville thought Earl Derby's views were exaggerated, but as long as Canada took a fair share of the expense, he thought Eng- land was bound to assist. karl Malmesbary and Ellenborough complained of the email €um asked. Earl Russell regretted the discussion, and stated that the Government declined to make a movement while the Canadians declined to take measures themselves; but as they now show a different position, the: Government comes forward to assist. The Daily News charges Earls Lyreden and Derby with haying raised a most mis- chieyous defme. The Times questions the policy of the de- fences. The latest news by the Peruvian caused an improvement in American seomrities. Five-twenties have closed at53a54. Consols, 96 yaKsy, FROM THE SOUTH. The Exchange of Prisoners going on—Ex- citement Over the Hanging of Beal—An Entire Rebel Brigade Captured. ple et Arrival of Mr. Pryor. {From the Richmond Dispatch, March 4.} Everything remains quiet on the Richmond and Petersburg lines. Some artillery firing without result, took place in the neighborhood of Hatcher’s Run, on Thursday evening On this side of the river nota gun has been fired The rain and mod keep the hostile armies closely witbin their respective camps. We bave no officjal intelligence from the seat of war in the South, and for two days not evena rumor. The Hon. Roger A. Pryor, who has just re- turned from a Northern prison, was in the city yesterday, and is looking well. Exchange of Prisoners. From the Richmond Sentinel, March 4.} ‘three thousand exchanged prisoners arrived in Richmond yesterday. The Federal boats have returned for another load. The Federal authorities seem to be carrying on the exchange in earnest. Artillery Firing en the Appomattox. {From ee a coemnge Examiner, Mareh 4.) Foutonday af cama frin, on the lines around Richmond, but it is hardiy to be presumed that they were signals of any important action. The present season is said to be the wettest on record, and military ope- rations must wait for fair weather. Our artil- lery north of the Appomattox occasionally practises a the enemy. During the shelling Jast Thureday, seven Yankees were killed and ‘weunded by the fire rrom Cummin’s battery. The Execution of Beal. From.the Richmond Examiner, March 4, he murder by hanging of Captain John Y. Beal under the signature and by the authority of Lincoln, is exciting deep indignation in this community, where the deceased had many friends. The people have been disappointed so so often in the retaliatory threats of the Presi- dent, that they have resolved hereafter to take the matter into their own hands, Threats ‘were made yesterday loeking tothe hanging summarily upon the lamp post of any Yan- kee officers now on parole and who might be found at large,and onthe information being conveyed to them, they kept very close within the security of the Libby. The good name and fame of Captain Beal. thank God, isnot in the keeping of the Northern Yankees. Here, where he was known, and in the county of Jefferson, which is bereit of one of her most heroic sens, his name will be revered as a martyr, who showed to his enemies in a foreign land how a gallant and intrepid Southern soldier conld die for Bis country. Reported Capture of General Haygood's Brigade, of Hoke’s Division. (From Raleigh (N.U.) State Journal, March 2.} As the train left Wilmington, our Whitworth battery planted at the head of the market, was tiring upon the enemy, who had appeared upon the causeway on the western side of Cape Fear river. Their main advance was then checked at Alligator creek; some some few ee ener pushed forwarg, but were driven off. Itis believed that Haygood’s brigade, with the exception of the,7ih)battalion, has been cap- tured. Some accidental cases may have es- caped. They probably have. They were on the west side of the Cape Fear. The other troops on thatside escaped. Speculations as to the Ability of Checking - Sherman. the court in this case, adverse to the petition. The Richmond Whig of Saturday, ith inst, Horace B. Tobbets vs. The United States. Says: cd Judge Loring delivered the opinion of the Sherman's Movements. @The Raleigh Conservative, in noticing the assignment of General Johnston to the com- mand of the forces confronting Sherman, says that his well known ability and skill in wield- ing an army gives us all assurance that what- ever means may be at his disposal will be wielded in such a way as will best promete the interests of the country. Whether that means is adequate to puta stop to Sherman’s move- ments and overwhelm him while in the inte- rior, time only can determine. His course seems to us to be one that is quite novel in the history of warfare.
