Cokesbury Conference School. ^he Committee appointed by tho last - Conference visit this Institution were partly in attendance at the annual exercises, and presenUjbc following as their Report : For y certain reasons, only one day had been set , apart for Examination ; Wednesday, June 1 20th. This time, though it may be regard- ' od short, was nevertheless sufficiently long to render the duty of the Committee a very 1 pleasant privilege. Tho proceedings from beginning to end were of a character in the highest degree creditable to both Instructors and Students, and entirely satisfactory to all who were present on the occasion. The classes in Mathematics, in charge of the Rector, Rev. G. II. Round, gave unmistakeable evidence of honorablu profiin flit* iliftiimnf Ki-oiw.Ii.ip /.C ?U?4 ?

Tho manner in which each student's part was assigned him effectually precluded the possibility of partiality, and placed him on such f round that no one was left to presume that e was not equall}' well prepared on every other part, and on the whole. The Committee were pleased with the great particularity required by the Instructor of each student in demonstrations. Each successive stepof the whole process was stated with clearness, and as if with a most thorough nn4?t*cfon^inA" nf ? 11 1??-- ?1 hmuviwmmiuiv/? ?II\5 j/utn IIIVUIVV'U. I The clasties in Latin and (j reek, undcH the instruction of Professor Wigbtman, likewiso acquitted themselves in a style worthy of all commendation. This part of exercises was conducted upon the same strict principles of impartiality. The translations wore regarded ready, correct and elegant: indeed it was gratifying to see the promptness and clearness with which each btudent, whether large or small, performed his part, on whatever page of the book ho might find it. The Primary Department, under the tu" tiou of Mr. A. B. Turpin was also allowed an occasional half hour to give ?'.videnco of their progress in letters. And . may not be extravagant to say, that the exercises with these classes were as decidedly entertaining and encouraging as any other part! of the proceedings. The industry, skill, and ability, with which Mr. Turpin lias discharged his duties were proclaimed by his pupils in their examination, and admired by those who saw and heard them. On the evening of the day of examination, the young gentlemen delivered original speeches. We will not make distinctions, if any could be made. They were all performed well, in good taste, and in good 6tyle. It may not be out of place to say that 6omo of the speeches showed evidently a great familiarity, a better discrimination, and a far more accurate taste with and in the subjects treated thau is usually seen on occasions of that sort. This is mentioned a8 an evidence of the attention which has been given, both by Teachers, add Scholars, to polite Literature. The exercises wore closed the next day /rni J- --\ _?Ai * ? - ? ixnurbuay^ wun an aaaress trora Kev. A. | I. Lester, on Laudable Ambition, before | the Literary Society, and & largo concourse of citizens, who had enlivened the occasion with their presence. The address was all that those who know the speaker best could have expected or desired. It was in very fine taste. The style was chaste and classical, but at the same time pungent and to the point; the whole subject was treated with an ability and perspicuity for which the speaker is distinguished in his studied discourses. The address was not only delivered elegantly and gracefully, but so as to impress the whole performance with the happiest effect. The Examination Speeches, and Address, with all the exercises from beginning to end were honorable to all concerned.

Another Dinner to Col. Orr. Tue citizens of Spartanburg have tendered a public dinner to their Representative, Col. Orr, to be given at Spartanburg G. H., ou the 25th of the present month. It will doubtless be an interesting occasion. No man in South Carolina, sinco Mr. Calhoun, lias ever received 60 many flattering evidences of public confidence and regard, and no man could bear his honors with more unaffected humility than Col. Orr does. a tl Ai i<uiu a nuiua jLua^a^inc. This is oue of the few Noithern periodicals we take pleasure in commending. It is a magazine of a vast monthly variety of useful and entertaining instruction; and we have' yet to see a single line in it of doubtful moral tendency. It is an instructor for all, and especially the young, that cannot be excelled.?T. S. Arthur & Co., Philadelphia, are the publishers, and the price iB two dollars per annum. Bad Bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Westfield, our neighbors and friends, are mourning the loss of their only child, Charlie, an interesting little boy of three summers, lie diod, after a few hours of agonizing pain, on Tuesday morning last. How sorrowful toils friends the HonfVi nf a little child ! yet how consoling tlio truth that no purer spirit can ever enter the gate of tho celestial Paradise, or recline upon the bosom of Him whose lamp of love guides the little angel thither ! The nearer the grave to the cradle, the fewer tears of regret should there be shed upon it; yet how natural it i6 to mourn when childhood, all that ia pure of humanity, is borne to its silent shade. Anniversary Meeting of the Bible Society. This and the Anderson dinner each occurring on the same day last week (Wednesday), and our desire towards the latter1 being a little the strongest, we were therefore not present at the former. We have heard from various ones who vrere present that the meeting was an interesting one; that Rev. J. C. Williams preaehcd a good sermon, and our young friend W. M. Hadden, Esq., delivered an excellent address. Also that the friends of the good cause were encouraged by the promising annus ot the Society to renewed zeal in their "labor of love." Rev. H. H. Durant was elected to prcacli the next anniversary sermon, and Dr. J. J. YVardlaw to deliver the addres9. This meagre allusion would have been made in our last week's issue, but for the hope that a full report would bo offered us by some one who was in attendance. Advertising Summary. Mr. J. A. Allen, desiring that "old things should pass away," and "all things become new," in his particular line and locality, offers, for promoting that end, to disP>se of an excellent stock of goods at reduced rates. He means what he says, aud will do what be promises. The change in the running schedule of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad is a matter which should be noticed by those who bave not alr^^done so. Also a notice is ajiven in reference to the transportation of letter*, by cotfdilojtors on the Read, out of the mail. Dyspeptics might do well to qonault Dr. W. W. Bliss, of New York.

We are occasionally in receipt of cotn: plaints from subscribers, in various quarters, in regard to the irregularity of the mails. Some say tliey receive tho Press semimonthly, some ?}::;!r,orly, and some never ai all. These complaints are certainly very ! annovim? to us. fur Knn.lv w<> ii..? Press to ho read regularly?especially by those who pay for it; but we hold 110 remedial power. All we eau do is done'when we print our paper and put it in our po^toHirc here; and we have no doubt our postmaster discharges his part. "We know he is too much of a gentleman and friend to detain a single copy intentionally. The mail agents, too, 0:1 tho Greenville Road, wo know to be mcu entirely trustworthy, and could not therefore charge either of them with wilful or negligent dereliction of duty. Accidental oversights will sometimes inevitably occur. To all those, then, who have, or may hereafter, fail to receive the Press at the nroner time, we have nnlv fn snv fiiof ;? ;= as much our regret as theirs; but we have no recourse unless the source of the failure can be discovered. If that were don?3:?if we could point our finger at any official and say "Thou art the man"?then we should at least read him a lecture upon the respect to be paid to the discharge of sworn official duties. The man who undertakes the fulfilment of any trust, whether he receives a copper or not for his time, and wilfully fails to discharge it, is a poor apology for a man, to say the least.

We invite special attention to the Philadelphia case of negro-sOealing, which we give from the Evening Bulletin. 4 A Southern gentleman going abroad on a foreign mission, cannot pass through a Northern city without being deprived of liia do-1 mestios, and against their will. And this in the city where a great National Convention has just been held, and professions of respect made for the rights of the South ? IIow long will the South be cajoled ? The Slave Case.?The slave case reported in the Bulletin of yesterday, has assumed a more serious phase than we had anticipated. The Hon. John 11. Wheeler, of North Carolina, United States Minster to Nicaragua, is the owner of the slaves who were freed, on Wednesday afternoon, at Walnut street wharf. It seems that Mr. Wheeler and his servants had taken dinner at Blood guuu? nuiei on thai day, and had then gone on board the Washington, for the purpose of proceeding to New York. While at the hotel, the fact of the party being slaves became known. Mr. Wheeler alleges that the slaves did not desire to leave hiin, and tfiat they were stolen away in opposition to his and their will. Yesterday application.was made to Judge Kane, in the United States District Court, for a writ of habeas corpus, to be directed to Mr. Passmore Williamson. The writ was granted, and made returnable at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, Mr. Vandyke appeared for Mr. Wheeler, and Edward Hope for respondent. Mr Hopper stated that he bad appeared at the request of the respondent's father, as a mark of respect to the summons of the Court; that Passmore Williamson had left for Harrisburg, on private business. Mr. Vandyke replied, that lie who bad the wrongful possessson of a person, should be present to answer the writ of the Court; but if the party were not present, ho would ask for an alias habeas corpus, returnable at such time as the Court , inigljt .finest. His Honor then fixed this mojraftjg,-ut 10 o'clock, for the returp of the.writ. The writ commands Mr. Williamson to bring in the bodies of Jane, Dan and lsaiah. the servants of Mr. Wheeler, to await and abide the decree of the Court. Yesterday afternoon, Deputy United States Marshals Jenkins and Crossin arrested five colored men, on the charge of riot and committing an assault and hatterry on Mr. Wheeler, at the time of the rescue of the j slaves. Their names are William Custis, James Martin, J. S. Ballard, Isaiah Moore aud James S. Braddock. The prisoners were taken before Alderma^Freeman, and commuted in default of ball for a further bearing at 11 o'clock this morning. This morning at 10 o'clock, the return of the writ of alias habeas corpus was made by presence of the body to whom the writ was directed. Mr. Vandyke . appeared on the part of the United States, and Messrs. Gilpin, Hopper, Pierce and Barney on the part of the respondent. j*. The respondent, Passmore Williattison, Esq., made a return tp the Court to the effect that the bodies of Jane, Daniel and Isaiah, mentioned in the writ.to him fiirected,'were n6t now, and "had not be^n ^fcany ( time, in the custody, power or >] the then respondent. the case as folfowi; ^Tha Eton.

They told liiin that they wished to stay with their master, when the respondent and fifteen or twenty colored persons took them forcibly from the custody of their : master. The two boys cried to go back to | Mr. Wheeler, but the respondent here, one ' Passinore Williamson, forced them away. The companions and associates of Mr. I Williamson seized Mr. Wheeler by the | throat as lie was trying to prevent this out-1 rage on his property, and said that if he I, made any resistance they would cut his throat. Mr. Vandyke said that if lie proved these simple facts, he proved the return false. Tito point raised by the opposite counsel, he said, was that the court would not go behind the return, but he iisked that the , court now go into the question of the committal of the outrage, and prove by evidence the return to be false. Correspondence of the Carolinian. Ghkexwood Jnlv 20 1 s.'s , J --WW. I Mr. Editor : It having been announced j that the extra meeting of the S. C. i Medical Association would he held at this place, on Wednesday, 18th inst., I suddenly found myself whirling away on the Greenville Railroad yesterday morning. At 1 j>. in. we arrived here, and found nearly all the physicians of the village, besides a number of citizens with horses and vehicles prepared, one would suppose, for all the doctors in the State. Much alacrity and emulation was manifested by the hospitable people, to obtain each one a greater number of guests than the others, and great was the disappointment of those who had to return to their families and cat their own lambs and pijjs unassisted. The Association was convened by Dr. Horlbeck, the President, at 4 p. m., in the commodious Chapel of Mr. Donnelly's Academy, which was nearly filled with both professional and unprofessional persons. The number of members was double that of those at the extra meeting in Columbia last year, and this should certainly be taken as an evidence of progress. After a brief opening address by the -President?the distinguished physician, farmer, and man of science?Dr. j. P. 13arratt took the floor, land eneh.'iinpil tho f.-kr an hour, on the subject of tho important objects and advantages that must result from re-unions of medical men like that now assembled. An excellent Essay on I Dysentery, by Dr. Saltey, of Orangeburg, ' was then read, which gave rise to some discussion on that disease. Dr. Horlbeck read an instructive paper on Keloid Tumors. Dr. James Telot mentioned a case occurring in his practice. Dr. liaily read an in- \ trresting and amusing paper on "Medical Faith." After several new members had joined, the Association adjourned to the ho- ' tel of the well known caterer. Dr. Calhoun, where, at 0 p. m., we sat down to an elegant entertainment. All I will say about, i that important matter is, that it was icell done, and you may be assured that doctors 1 never fail to appreciate such doses. I At 9 a. in. yesterday, there was an or| conization of tho Abbeville District Medic- < al Society, on the adjournment of which many onslaughts were made upon strangers, and attempts to carry us, vi et armis. in I different directions to dine had to be op- . posed. The Charleston and Columbia del legations had promised themselves away ever since their arrival, yet notwithstanding that, five of us were seized nolens volcns, t and carried off triumphantly to Captain B.'s, where we found ourselves seated in ; busy discussion of beef, ham, mutton, chicken, duck, and other fixens too numerous and good to mention. It was very hard to stop < at a moderate point, although we knew well that we had to cat another dinner. Fortu- j nately, however, the first was 12.1-2 o'clock, and after rushing off in almost frantic de- . spair, we found that a lucky accident had delayed No. 2 until 4 o'clock, by which \ time we felt not quite so unprepared to be- ^ gin again. Dr. C. "did the thing upJ)rown," ] like all the rest. < From hence we rode to Dr. Barratt's, < whose delightful residence is about seven 1 miles from Greenwood. We visited his rich museum, with its rare and wonderful curiosities, from the size of a stuffed aliga- ' tor and a shark, each about twelve feet long. aown to tne minutest "anatomic" of insect g creation, all of tliem beautifully prepared t and preserved. After spending the -night t under the hospitable roof of this accom- 1 plished gentleman, and an early rise this ' morning, we bid adieu with many regrets t that our stay in Abbeville could not be pro- / longed.
