Th. Sy'od embrace* congregations in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.? Oxv ng to the large extent of territory in which v the ministers and members are situated, the attendance was not large, there being only nineteen ministers and seventeen lay delegates present. The churches generally were reported as being in a prosperous condition. Two no 11/ f'linrnlioc ivoro rtr>uivpH into f'OFlriPOtlOll 6ve licentiates admitted to ordination, and two students from the. Theological Seminary at Lexingten, S. C., license<l to preach. Resolutions were passed giving permission for the tbrinalion of two new Synods, one in Mississippi and the other in Georgia, provided the congregations in said States may so determine. ; ^ Resolutions were also passed instructing the Hon ! of Diiectors of the Theological Semina rv at Lexington, South Caioliua, to take steps for the removal of the Seminary to some more eligible locality in South Caiolina, and also to apply' to the Legislature of that State to change the act of incorporation to that of a regular College, with the privilege of conferring degrees. It was determined to establish a depository in Savannah, for the sale of Southern publiea tions. at the bookstore of Messrs. John M. Cooper & Co.* A liberal appropriation was made for missions within the founds of the Synod. The next annual meeting of the Synod is to be held at Bethlehem Church, Newberry, South Carolina.?South Carolinian. > " j.. ^ m* %mj ' Wocld Rath nil be in* Slavery.?In the PoJice'Court yesterday a colored man named John Stewart wa< arraigned oil a charge of ^stealiivg a qoantitv of clothing from an elderly _? colored woman. Stewart plead guilty, and of feted in mitigation that he wus out of funds and food, and had taken this course to provide himself with the necessaries of life. He stated to the Court that a short time since he was a slave in Raleigh, North Carolina and upon being informed of the kind treatment he would receive from the Abolitionists in the North if he could become a free man.be concluded to pur chase himself, and did so at a cost of $900. He b'ft his master and came to Ohio. "Since I came here," continued Stewart, ;'I have been kicked about and abused by all classes ot white men. Can't get work from no one, and i . .1 J ' ?.t .1 . i u> borrow mono) to-gei nreaa who, iuai is oui ?>f the questson. I wish I were a slave again, i I did a great deal better there than I ever did here."' Here the detention* took his seat to await the sentence of the Court, whieh was to' be sent to the chain gang at hard labor for one month; he did nt t mind the labor, and was thankful for the prospect of getting something to eat in jail. He declared that as soon as hg got out he would go South and become a slave again.?Cincinnati Times. Washington, Nov. 17.?I have already stated that in spite of the increased expenses of the increased usefulness of the Post-Office Department, 6uch is the rigid economy with which it is being managed that with the increased revetiue from postage it is expected that in about four years from now, provided the same economical administration of the department be continued, the revenue will cover the expenditure. Since the 4th of March, 1852, but one single defalcation has occurred, (in the case of the postmaster at Troy, but the sub-treasurv act being promptly applied, the whole amount wait recovered, and no loss there. fore sustained by the department. Considering that there are about 23,000 post-Offices in the United States, the lact is certainly highly creditable, both to the administration of the Post Office Department and to the discrimination used in the appointment of postmasters.

The whole number of churches connected with the Congregational, and the O. S. and N. S. Presbyterian denominations, in the United States is 5,84)6; of these 1,149 do not exceed 25 members; 1,287 do not exceed 50; 1,527 do not exceed 100; 846 do notexceed 150; 458 do not exceed 200; 356 have 300; 159 have 400; and the number of churches whose members exceed 400 is but 98. These facts show why so many churches are unable to support ministers. Confirmation.?On Sunday last the Rt. Rev Dr.Davis; Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina, on a visit to this city, administered the holy rile of confirmation in three of the Episcopal Churches, viz: in the forenoon in St. Phijip's, to seventeenVhite and twelve colored candidates; in the afternoon at St. Michel's, to nineteen white and one colored; and in the evening at Calvary Church, to one white and five Colored persons.?

T WATTS, Secretary, j Military Elections. On Saturday the 25th inst., Adjutant Thomas J. Warren was elected Major of the Lower Battalion 22d Regiment S. C. Militia, in the place of Lt. Col. Kershaw, resigned. On the same day, W. E. Hughson was elected First, and II. II. Evans Third Lieutenants in the DeKalb Rifle Guards. R. G. Ellerbe was elected Second, and Wm. C. Clybnm Third Lieutenants in Beat Company No. 2. Jas. Holland was elected First, and Tlios. Davis Third Lieutenants in Beat Company No. 3. All be. longing to the Lower Battalion 22d Regiment Appointment for Camden. It will be seen by reference to the list of appointments in another Column that the Rev. James Stacy has been appointed to the pastoral charge of the Methodist E. Church of this place. Mr. Stacy was stationed here in the year 1836, and will, we are snre, prove hitrhlv satisfactory to the concrecration. which he is to serve in tbe ministrations of the gospel Death of a Worthy Citizen. Since our last we have followed to his final resting place our esteemed and worthy fellow citizen, Mr. Lewis W. Ballard, who for many years was our Chief Marshall, Town Recorder and Treasurer. Mr. Ballard was an excellent citizen, and in all the relations of life evinced those qualities whicl^ make the man. As a public officer, he was firm, faithful, and unflinching in the discharge of his duties?none more so. As a private citizen his character was irreproachable; and as a friend, he was warm and enduring. It remains for others to speak of his social qualities, and Hie domestic hearth is very desolate where he was best known and loved. He possessed much of that charity which was kind?and the poor of Camden will feel his death most sensibly. His funeral took -place on Wednesday afternoon at the Baptist church, and his remains were followed to their last resting place by numerous friends and relations, and the closing ceremonies at the grave were performed by the Members of "Wateree Division Sons of Temperance, of which he was a most excellent and ex eropiary memoer. South Carolina Legislature. Our Legislature assembled'at Columbia yesterday at 12 o'clock, the roll was called and the members present were qualified and took their seats. The usual duties of organization, &c.. occupied the day. In our next wc shall be able to give some of their proceedings. The Annual Meeting Of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance of South Carolina will take place on Thursday next, in Columbia. This we hope will be an interesting occasion, and every Son of Temperance who can, ought to attend. The Press Association. Why does not our President publish a notice of the meeting of this Association? If we are not mistaken, Wednesday, the 6th of December, is the day.

They are getting on fast, Postmaster General Campbell has been knocked into a cocked hat, and there is no telling what will be done next. Look out for the Engino when the whistlo blows. The Methodist Female Colleges. Alter all the promises of Columbia to give so much towards the Female College, it appears from the report of the Building Committee, only about $15,000 are in hands after paying for the land purchased, which cost, two acres, $3,300 Camden had over twenty thousand dollars which could have been made available for the College, and we could have raised the amount to $25,000. We wanted a whole College, but aomo folks-think a half loaf is better than no bread. Another Newspaper Union. 1 The Anderson Gazette and Southern Rights Advocate have joined their fortunes together, and hencoforth these two will appear undor the title of tho Anderson Clazette and Advocate. We regret to shake farewell hands with brother Rice. Wo shall miss his graceful pen, and wo aro^ sure that our regret is not singular. Wo wish him much succeBsin the prosecution of his legal profession and earnestly hope that a brilliant future awaits him. To brothers Earle and Harrison a warm welcome is again tendered. We believe the course pursued by these papers in the amalgamation of the two, is wise, prudent, and will bo profitable. Success attend all parties. Gubernatorial Nominations. As is usually the case, there ore a number of newsnnminntions for the office of Governor. Wo pro 8urootho Legislature will be able to decide tbia question. The Hon. Edward Frost lias been' suggested by-a correspondent of the Cheraw Gazette as eminently qualified to fill the gubernatorial chair of South Caroli* i na. . Counterfeit Onk Hunered Dollar Bill. ?The Charleston Standard of the20th inst.,says: A dangerous counterfeit wasjast Saturday sent to Mr. Shingler to ascertain whether it was genuine. It purported to be a One Hundred Dollar Bill on the Bank of Camden, South Carolina, aud described as follows: Vegnette bee hive; figure of the Goddess of Liberty ou 'the right; eagle on the left, with a scroll suspended from its inouth, on which are the words, "State Sovereignty?National Union;" the figures 100 are oil the upper corner, and the upper and lowdr left corners; dated 1st June, 1852 ; signed, W. G. Grant, cashier, and W. C. McWillie, president. For the information of those unacquainted with the Bank of Camden, it is proper to remark that the Bank has never issued any bills of the denomination of one hundred dollars. The bill in question is well executed, and calcu; lated to deceive the unwary. As there may be more bills afloat of a similar descjiption, tho public are cautioned to be on their guard. * South Carolina Coherence.

The attention of Conference was occupied considerably with the subject of the Female Colleges; on Friday. Andrew Wallace, Esq., was introduced to the Conference and presented a report from the Building Committee of the Columbia Female College. The Committee report that they have procured a lot, of two acres, for $3,300, in a central, eligible and beautiful location. Possession will be give.n on the first of January next. There are two acres adjoining, which may bo secured.

The Committee recommend to the Conference the appointment of a board of trustees, that they may apply to 1I10 Legislature at its approaching session for a Charter. The amount of ftinds in the hands of the Committee, after paying for the land purchased, is about $15,000. $30,000, it is thought, will be needed to erect such buildings as are desirable. They therefore ask the appointment of an agent to raise the monoy; and designate, as the roost suitable person for that work, the Rev. C. Murchison. The report was adopted and referred to the Committee on Education. The Rev. Jas. Sfncy gave information to the Conference that efforts have been made for the establishment of a Femalo College in Mariou Village. A constitution has been adopted upon the joint stock plan. It is intended to place the institution under the patronage of the Church. A charter will be asked for at the next sossion of the Legislature. There has been a subscription of stock already, to the amount of more than $20.000. On Monday Jlessrs. Tucker and Bobo, esqrs, were introduced to the Conference, and gave interesting information in relation to the progress and prospects of the Spartanburg Female College. Dr. Smith replied, and the discussion qf tho respective claims of the Spartanburg and Columbia institutions was lively and high, ly entertaining. Trustees for each institution wero appointed, composed of the clergy and laity. A Tract Society was formed, and Dr. Whitefoord Smith wns elected FiesidenL Bishop Pierce and bis wife, Bishop Capers and his wife, and Dr.- Summers and his wife, wero niado life members by the payment of ton dollars for each of them by members of the Conference and others. A resolution to sell the stock owned by the Conference in the South Carolina Rail Road Company was offered and discussdd, but lost.
