The Con- < mpt in the Presbyterian church i Abbeville C. H.. on Wednesday, at 11 , clock, in the forenoon. Eight minis- ] ;rs w^re present, comprising all in the 1 >unty, save one, who was detafned at 1 ome by pastoral duties; thirty-two rul- j ig elders and deicons; and two private lembers, who, by resolution, pas3ed be- ' ?re they arrived, were enrolled as full lembers, Nine churches were repreinted, five were not. The following is ic list of churches represented : A'boe- ; ille, Hopewell, Lebanon, Little Moun- ! tin, Providence Bocks, Rocky River, ' fpper Long Cane; Willington. After opening with a prayer-meeting , '''1 1 *" Krtrt *Via PnnfiiP. UIUI1 U1U jjouu iu luc ucui i, yuc vwmvince was organized by the unanimous lection of the following officers: T. C. ' errin, Chairman ; W. A. Giles, Clerk; J L McD. Miller, Assistant Clerk. A committee was appointed to draught " 11 order of business, after'which, at ] alf-past two o'clock, recess was-taken , 11 7 p. in. EVENING SESSION. The Committee reported, recoramendig the following: 1st. The roll of.] hurches be called in reverse alphabetial order, for the purpose of acquiring iformation respecting the condition of lie churches, spiritual and temporal; liat the following topics be particularly J dverted to?membership, deaconshlp, ' ldership, ministry. By resolution, permission was given ; r) any member to address the meeting, ; t any time during the evening, upon ' uch noints as the information from the hurches might suggest. This brought ut several good, brief, pointed addresss. The Conference adjourned at a few ninutes past eleven, to meet in the norning at half past uine o'clock, for he purpose of taking up the second orler of business recommended by the Committee: To observe a season of conerence on the subject of Ministerial Consecration and Ministerial Support.. TIIURSDAY MORNING SESSION. The opening religious exercises havng beep attended to, a motion to recouider the order for the njoruing, and ake up the subject of Domestic Misions within the bounds of our Presbyery, was offered, warmly opposed, and roted down. This Conference on the jartof the ministers' was very interestng and edifying, not only to brotherninisteis, but to the elders aud deacons, fust here, I recall to mind, some renarks made in the Confereuce by a ruing elder the evening previous, nearly n these words: "We, come into thfe A*orld naked ; this is a/good thing, for t teaches us; that what we make "here? >ur money, our lands, our houses, are aot our own, but simply trust funds, for which Qod will call us tc render at last i strict account. When our Churchmembers admit this, then the Church j will enter unon a wider field of useful (less, and many of her present embarrassments will be removed." * These words are good and true. I trust they will be remembered and acted npon by those who heard them. I recall, too, the remarks of.a deacon: "Thejfunction of our office is similar in some respects to that of the fireman?we are, tot supply wood and water?money to the preachers; so that I think, candidly, whenever the wood and water are withheld, the engine should stop?whenever the pastor's salary is not promptly paid, he ought to cease preaching, the uoors of his church should be shut, and his pulpit become silent, until his arreages are paid him. This, I think, would have the effect of keeping pur churches up to their duty in the matter of pastor's salary." These remarks are too good to be lost. Let them roll on, until all of our deacons shall take this view of their office, and many a poverty-stricken pastor and his family will be made to rejoice, and then will be heard no more these sad complaints of half-paid salaries. Another remark, in substance, nnmn fron non + Ivr frnm hfith fldflrs and deacons. "Ourpastor is a good man, the people have every confidence in his piety, they enjoy his preaching, are benefitted by it, they love him very much, both as a man and as a minister of the gospel, but wc arc sadly behind in our salary" I have been trying ever since to rcconcilc these two ideas?to combine into one these two ideas?a people loving their pastor, and yet behindhand, year after year, with his salary. I have hitherto failed. The two ideas seem to liavc no natural affinity, they seem rather to have a mutual antipathy, they jeem to be incompatibles. _ The Conference adjourned sine die, on Thursday, about half-past one o'clock, 3. m., after a unanimous passage of the 'ollowihg RESOLUTIONS. That a committee of five be appointed o devise a plan for managing the finalises of the Church, and that this commitee report to the Executive Committee >f Domestic Missions. (The Committee selected by the Conerence under this resohitiou is as folows: ltulingElders, T. C. Perrin, Thos. rhomson; Minister, Ilev. J. O. Linday; Deacons, \V. C. Wardlaw, \V. K. 3 lake.) That the ministers be requested to .'rnnnh rnnro r.HIPflfnillV. nOilltedlV. ai)d liainly on the {-Scripture doctrine of givug. That we rccommend to each church n this county to appoint deacons, us nay he needed, to atleud to the tempoal affairs ?f the Church. Tliat the deacons of each church, with he elders, he recommended to make an ssessrnent upon all the members of heir respective churches; in such tfsessments taking into consideration the iicans and circumstances "of each hurcli-raember, and thereby fixing and pportioning the assessment. That we recommend to the deacons of ach church, upon the refusal or negectof any chureh-mfember to pay his ssessrnent made as above, to report such efus-.il or neglect to the church session, irho are recommended to take such steps herein ae may be deemed proper. That we recommend to the several i hurcherfwlio may adopt in practice thei oregoing resolutions, to report the result! o the Presbytery. That we recommend to the several j ongregations to aaopc, 11 hoi wimijiui >ractice, the plan of collections from all tenons, and of all ages, every day when j eligious services shall be hold in their; hurches; and that special collections be aken up for their respective objects, on he days appointed by the general asscm>lv? ^foreclosing, I desire, for the infornation of such of our church11 embers as may not be already informed, 0 add a few remarks connected with the ast clause of the last resolution. The vstematic Benevolence Scheme of the Assembly, and the days appointed for! pecial collections in their behalf, are the1 Rowing: The first Sabbath in Novem-I U?r for Education (of candidate for the' tiinistry;) tha first Sabbath in .Tauuary! or Sustentation; the first Sabbath in! Jarch for Publication ; the first Sabbath j n April for Evangelists; the liret fcaoiflth in May for Foreign Missions; the Irst Sabbath in July for Invalid Fund, for invalid, and superanuated ministers, ind widows, and orphans of deceased' ninistors.) The Relief Fund has noj pecial time appointed for collections. I I his latter .? cherne is intended to afford churches,' during the life of their pastor, an opportunity to provide for his family ifter nis decease". The provisions of the scheme are are as follows; Each church * by paying into this fund $30 per annum tvill entitle the pastor's family at his leath to $1,200, by paying$60per annum they will draw $2,400, or by paying $100 , pearly they will obtain $3,000. As the Conference met under the call ' jf the Executive Committee of Domestic Missiohs, and as this Committee i?. so far a9 our Presbytery Is concerned, *iaen uneu wun me ousieniauon uoramiM*? if the General Assembly, located at Columbia, and as the collection for this 3ause is appointed to betaken up on the first Sabbath in January, or as soon thereafter as practicable, I deem it not inappropriate,, before closing, to add a , few words respecting the SustentatJou. Scheme, and the relation of its Committee to our Committee- of Domestic Missions. The idea of this scheme, (of tv-hich, the Committee and its work is an ittempt at the execution,) is to bring all >f our churches into the closest relation, so as to realize, and.give practical effi;iency to, the oneness of the body of Christ, to afford an opportunity for the ifmnni nnH tho wmIt th(? rir>h And the mot, to contribute to one-common fund ^bich shall be"used for the benefit of?ll ivho need it, so that those who have little should indeed have no lack. In order to ;he perfection of this Scheme in its practical outworkings, three things must Combine, lnt*,All the churches, (as well :liose who. have abundance of. wealth, as chose who are in the depths of poverty, is well those who number their number by hundreds, as those who are scattered ind peeled, and number only half a dozsn,) must contribute regularly, punctually, and liberally according to their means; 2d. Each church must do honestly for itself all that it can do; 3d. The Central Committee must have accurate information respecting the wants of every church requiring aid. Given these tVirao nnnHltinns nnrl fh? la ft magniflcentauccess. Withhold partially or wholly either of these conditions, and the work is materially crippled. A moment's reflection will show, that whetli cr these conditions are to be supplied or . not, will depend entirely upon toe Presbytery and the Presbytery's Committees of Domestic Missions. It is the duty of these Presbyterial Committer to see to it. that, 1st. Every church contribute to the Central Committee; 2d. Evefy church does what it can for itself; ana 3d. All necessary and accurate informar tion be famished the Central Committee. Thus it will be seen, that the Central Committee is principally, simply tho agent of the whole Church, (hence properly appointed by the General Assembly,) to receive and disburse the funds contributed by the Church as a whole, for the relief of its w^nte a whole, upon information received from the -whole Church. Thus (farther) it will be seen, that each Presbytery should entertain, and cultivate, as deep and abiding interest in the Central Committee, fls any other Presbytery, and should support as heartily the Central Committee as its own Executive Committee of Domestic Missions. For it follows, farther fr<?0i the foregoing, th^t the Committee of Domestic Missions has no iieed of any other ' treasury than thaa the central treasury ; that every dollar contributed to the central treasury of the Committee of Domes tic. Miasions ; that, (if needed,) the Presbyfcrfal Committee can draw from th& Central Committee,. every dollar contributed by the churches of our Presbytery in January: that if all of ottr church-es will do their whole duty in January for the Central Committee, and each feelilo MinrnH wnnlH Hn Its whnlA'Hntv fn? iteelf, the Presbyterial Committee would have no cause whatever, to call upon gur churches for a single contribution ty' its own treasury?one collection a year world serve all the purposes of both Committees?the Central Committee would be able to furnish all the funds needed by the Presbyterial. Committeo to supplement whatever was lacking on tho part of our feeble churches. This is something more than theory?it has been Eut to the test of practice, and experience as demonstrated its truths in other Presbyteries. The Committee of Sustcntation. thus constituted, seeks to fulfill its mission, by, 1st. Carrying on the aggressive work of the Church?planting new churches in -destitute and frontier sections?evan(jclizing; 2d. Aiding feeble churches in theireftbrta to support the gospel within the bounds of their own congregation? Sustaining; 3d. Aiding feeble churches^' ornnt nra' nln^r>s r>f wnrshin. or ronair S old ones- evangelizing or sustaining according to circumstances. To the Executive Committee of Sustentation is likewise intrusted, the Invalid Fund, the Relief Funa, and the Evangelists' Fund, but the funds are kept separate and distinct from each other, and from the Sustentaticn Fund. This branch of the subject, however, as not pertinent to my scope, I will here dismiss. - As to the Conference It was unquestionably a good thing; it has done good lai eaay, and will yet do more. It was good to be there, good to the private members, to the deacons, to the ruling elders, to the ministers. The Committee of Domestic Missions should thank God aud take courage. Another Conference should be called in due time to gather up and con serve the fruits of the first one. "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

Why Jefferson Died Poor.?It is related of Jeffen|Dn that he might have been a rich and not a poor man, as he was, \iut for tho multitude of admiring visitors who thronged Monticello from year's end to year's end, and literaily ate him out of house and homo. As many as fifty strangers sometimes swarmed in upon him in a single afternoon. They came on horse- * back and in carriages, and dozens of them stayed all night, and many of them stayed for days and even weeks. No other man of whom we have any ~ ~ *? n A H AM OA AT'AWUnn VTIQl IUCU1U W?3 ctci ou UIVIIUII mm visitors for so long a period. They came from all lands and belonged to almost; every rank in lifo. It was not possible to turn them away. Jefferson had to stand the punishment, and hestood it bravely, and with at least outward serenity of spirit, although his inward struggles were terrible. Ho finally sold bis library, perhaps the best then in America, and the choicest possession he had on earth. Ho also sold some of his lancl. A few friends, and even the Legislatures of a few States, , tried to help him. But these efforts were of no avail. His affairs grow jvorso and worse. Ho finally petitioned the Legislature of Virginia for permission to dispose oi His estates dv lottery; but before tho act was passed bo died, and bis estate was sold at auction by his creditors, and his heirs wcra turned from their ancestral door forever." ? There is no joy so great as that which springs from a kind act or pleasant deed. Follow the wise fow rather than tho vulgar many.
