The IWar -The astonishiiig intelligence nfa war with Mexico. has been confirmed by such proofas will admit of no doubt of the fact. We frankly confess, that we are no prophets. nor 'sons of prophets." Our brother - editors of the State, might in justice;-give us a most se vere castigatioti: for whilst we were railing - most loudly against theta, for indulging n, (as we thought,) a silly clamour about war and bloodshed, down.upon us. came the very event we least anticipated; Who would have believ -ed that the Mexicans. involved as they were in so manydiaiculties. and sunk into such ut ter disorganization, and threatened with so many dangers, from within and from without, -could-hse had the temerity to have rushed headlong into a contest with the United States, which they must have known, would prove in the end most disastrous to their country. and probably destructive of their very national ex .istence itself? Theircourse undoubtedly trans cends any national notions of the conduct of a wise and prudent people. But speculations must come to an end now. The first battle has been fought, and from eve ry appearance, hostillities have been commenc ed in earnest. Our troop shave been unfortu nate in the first fight, and something must be done to redeem it. Our goyernment ought now, to- act with energy-the sword ought to be pushed .to. the hilt. - We trust to God we shall see nosuch ridiculous child's play as this - nation is-in the habit of.perpetrating in such emergencies. -An army of fifty, or sixty, or an hundred thousand men.-under the command - of vigorous atid active officers, ought immedi ately to be raised and thrown into the very heart of Mexico, and that insolent and pusil - lanimons nation ought to receive that chastise ment she has so long and so richly deserved at , our hands. It would be much cheaper in the -end, and it would be much more becoming to the United States, for usto act like a brave and determined people, and subdue our enenmy at once. From the enthusiasm that hal mrianifested it self, wherever. the war news has been spread, it would be-ahmost as easy for us to raise one hundred and fifty thousand troops as ten thon sand. The ardor and-atidity with which our people of the South are rushing into the con test is truly aniniatind and cheering-it is be yond all praise. In New Orleatis, the call for troops was obeyed, and ilie requisite miniber . were enlisting themselves, amid ihe roar of the cannon, the beating- of drums, add Elie waving of the ensigns of-tbe nation. In Mobile the holy Sabbath was forgotton, for the service of the colmtry, and public meetings were imme* diately held, to raise-and send on forces forth' with to Point- Isabel. :Generdl Taylor - niust have a full sufaiees of troops by. this timie. r. epot f hm if eiin-mat'n iisnL utz off from his supplies babs. b'n contradicted, and is very improbtafle.. FOR THE ADVERTISITt. Messrs. &4!orrs-Not being in the ha -bit of writing~ for the entermaitnent of the public, we appear hefore yoo utider cir cumstances peculiarly delicate and em barrassing. But rauch was our itndignation, upon reading that pitiful jargen, in the last Snumber of your invaluable paper, (pre tending to be a descrimptiotrof a celebration of May,) that we are induced to g~ive thme author of that wonderful pioduction of scandal, a few hints, wvhiich (if attended ,'to) will be of adlvanitage to him in future. We are indttced to believe that "Touch mc not." is a hachelor, from the fact of his comnplaiuitng of the absenee of "somne de-~ lightful young fellows-, some gallant young mnet," from the small May party, which hejpretenided to describe; and from his extensive use of the word young in ihe foregoitng quotation, we 'are also induced to believe that ibis Blossom of vanity is on the wrong side of forty. How far our surmise is from the truth " the Blossom" can beet tell; for we reallyv do not know who is "Touch me not," nordo wve care to know, as we are led to suppose fromt the tenor of his communicatirou that he would make but a poor acq-uisintofl to' the num ber or the acquaintances of any ohe. The true-cuse, we' apprehetd,' which led to this burit of spleen on the puart of "the Brossom," was simply because there was a small May party in town, to wvhich none but little girls were invited; conse quently the Miussom was left out, and here lies the secret-Poor fellowe-l#ow an old bachelor-one who pretends to have sense-etnugh to write for the edificatiotn of the public, could have let the vinegar ized state of his feelings, so far gain the ascendency over his more acid judgment, as to lead him to make this scandalous at taci, upon the -" ancient maidens" of our o .-for an offence committed by little g~:.we cannot conceive.

In conclusion. let us advise the little girls to give another sthall -party on the first of June. Let it be a candy pulling-pindor shucking, or something of the kind. Prepare as many interesting little plays as you can, such as Sell the Thimble. Grind the Bottle, Blind man's buff, Dame Wiggins, Bounce a round, &c &c. ; and above all let " the blosson" be invited, and when he har sa tiated his little crab apple soul, in the re finement of such juvenile sport, he will then appreciate the motives whieb exclud ed him from the celebration of May.

E. CHURCH, SOUTH. Fjas- SxsstoN. Friday. May 1, 1846. This being the first day of the session, the delegates. who were in town, assem-: bled at the Union Street (colored Peo ples') Church, at 9'elock, A. M. The venerable Bishop Joshu' Soule was present, but, no account of his not having. as yet. announced his adherence to the Church South, he did not partici pate in the day's proceedings. Bishop Andrew being abs' nt, on the mo tion of the Rev. Dr. Winanst, the Rev. John Early, of the Virginia Conference, was appointed President pro. jem. At the request of the President. the Rev. Dr. Winaus read the 10Sih Psalm ; the Conference then united in singing the 461st of the M. E. Hymns, after which the Rev, gentleman addressed the Throne of Grace in a moot appropriate and elo quent praYer. The Rev. T. N. Ralston, of the Ken tucky Conference, was appointed-Secre= nary, pro. tem., and the Rev. Samuel Bryant, of the North Carolinu Conference. sassie'ant Secretary, pro. ten. The Reports from the, different Confei ences. as far as they were represented, were then handed in and read by the Sec. retary. [Sixty-four delegates present.] Dr. Winans, in view of the fact that some of the Conferences were not reire sented here, and others were only repre sented in part, moved that the Cdnferenes adjourn to morrow morning at 9o'clock. Lost. On motion of the Rev. B. N Drake of Mississippi Conference. the Conference proceed to the election of a Secretary and assistant Secretary, whereupon, the Re.y, T. N. Ralston waselected Secretary, and the Rev. T. 0. Sommersof the Alabama Conference, assistant Secretary. , Btlh gentlemen received the unanimous vote of the Conferences: The Rev. Thos. Crowder of the Vir ginia Conference nioved that the follow ing Resolution be adopted by the Confer ence : - Resolved. Thiat theEditdrs of the Iticb moud, Suthernand South Wiestern Ad yocates be .cnminittee for puilication. whose Business it shall be to supervise all reports, for. pubhlication. >f the proceed ings of this Conference, with authority to_ employ a Reporter. - . The Rev. H. G. Leigh, of the North Carolina Co ference, thought the Confer ence itself should select its own Reporter, and,. therefore mnoved to strike out the lat ter clause of the resolution. Thbese two proip~itions prodiceed a siight discnssion which was carrieil on by Mes srs. Crowder, h-. G. Leigh, L MI. Lee, and J. B- MceFarrin of the Tennessee Conference. Before, howeier, the question was taken. rThe Rev. Dr. Capers, of the South Car oina Conferettce, suggested the propriety of an adljourtnment. l-fe referred to the facts which had been mentioned by Dr. Winans, in addit ion to whicli, th~e utnex pected absence of Bishop Endlrew and the bretirretd who wete supposed to be with hint, was another atnd. of itself, a suf~cient reason for adjourning. It was loown that the Bishop had started for this pi'ace, aund that other ministers were o'n theit way, who it is supposed were detaiid in Char tieitotn on account of the l'atd'etorm. They had tnot, up to mid-day o'n yesterday, ar rived at Wil-rington, no caus~e for which could be assigned except that their delay had been occasionted biy the weatiper. Thus' thfe uiriuis of the friednds of these brethren' were -.ffietid' wi'th apiirebesiouns as to their safety, and were, co'nesertntly, but illy prepared to trantsact any impor tant business pertaining to the meeting of this body. He moved, therefore, that the Conferetnce adjourn to meet again nt the samte place to-morrow morning at 9 o' clock. Toe motion was carriedi witho'uf op'pr sition, and, after prayer by the Rev. Mr. Lene, the Coinfeuence adjourned. Safe arnva( of the Cambia.-This- Steitm Ship which struck upon the beach off Cape' Cod, upon Studay the' 3d, was got off safely and arrived at B.ustotn on Tunesday. We extract the followin items of newvs re ceived by her: Cotiont has advanced 18'd-the news per Hibernia confirming short crops~ Trhe Debate on the Irish Coercion B'ill after several long speeches wvas adjourned to Monday, the 20th. A Circular from the War Ot~ce intimates that the militia regiments wil tmost prohaply be embodied, in the course of the Spring. for the months training and 'possibly afterward for per. tnanent service The London papers annouce the death of Signtor liragonetti, long celebrated as the greatest performer on the donble bass in the worlds He was 85 years of age. He died Ott the 19th of April. Nineteen new ships, thirteenof theni 9teatgers, have been ad'ded to the navy and appear in thte new list for April. The London Times thus compliment! -Mr. Calhoun on- his great spech: - We publish in another place an ext rac from the speech delivered by Mr. Calhon on the 16th of March, in th'e Senate of thi Unitedrt es,~a awhich eets the greates credit on that eminent statesman, & does I honor to the assembly in which it was-de livered. The progress made by the Ore gon question within the last two years has convinced Mr. Calhoun himself of the. impossibility of persevering in that silent and inactive course of policy which. he' had hitherto recommended as the surest method of establishing the ultimate sover eighty of the United States in that territory. He has been driven from the ground'to the alternative of supporting a compromise., or of declaring for a forcible oceupation of the country; and while he cordially adopts the principle ofcompromise, he votes for the abrogation of the existing convention, in order to bring the discussion to a speedy termintion. . Thus far we are perfectly agreed$ ih Mr. Calhoun. We are happy to adoapt as our own every one of the pacif e sentiments and the sensible opinions he eloquently expressed : and although hic warning of the disastrous :onsequences of war is es pecially addressed to the American States, his advocacy of the cause of peace will no where be read with more sincere adnira tion than in this country. Interesting Discovery-Ot Saturday last a man engaged in digging a grave, in upper Germantown. discovered near the surface of the earth, a number of human bones. Among those whom the lanident brou-ght thither, was the venerable Peter Keyser. A child of the revolution, and present at the battle of Germantown, he was able to explain what, to the present generation, was a mystery. He statel that, at 11 years ofage, he had witnessed the interment in one grav.e of eigit of the soldiers ofthe American army who. sere. at the battle of Germantown. all killed in the tan-yard of his father. One of these martyrs of American libet ty, was Capt. Fr;mierof the Virginid line, who I was killed by a bullet which had passed through the door ofa barn before it reached him. He was. a remarkably tall man, j tall not merely in leigbt,!but in the signi- r fication which, a century since charcterised a the brave. Another victim, said the F venerable chronicler. had the upper part of his head blown off, and when placed in the grave one of his leas was contracted and drawn in. An examination of the remains confirmed the Statement of Mr. n Keyser. The bones of the patriot dead were found undecayed; and pieces of the sloth of their regimentals remained entire, end was piously preserved as relics. After the lapse of sixty-seven years, the rem embrance ot Mr. Keyser proved. in every poinit, sccurate.-Phil. North American. .Most Interesting Discovery.-The Rhenish papers iention a discovery, of very cnrious interest, that has been made I in recently demolishing an ancient church of Urbocb,which dates from the earlist e perind of the middle age. and was tottering l to its fall. Enclosed its the wall of the choir, which is four feet thick, has been found a imrble coffin,.nine feet four inches in length, and adorned with figures in re- a lief finely executed. The opening of e this coffin was a difficult task, the joints having been cvred with cement which n has acqttired the hardness of the marble ti itsclf. It had; accordingly, !o be broken E into from the foot. and revealed an object which took the .spectators by surprise-a- i boy clothed in the sacerdrtal habit, fresh as that of a man who had died but yester day. The color of the epidermis, firmness of the flesh, the hair. the nails, all were in the most perfect preservation. 'rho flesh E yields beneath the fint r-like soft wax; the I' limbs have kept their suppleness and flexibility, the teeth are entire, regular anda white a ivory, and the very eyes hut half closed by the eyelid, have preserved a e portion ortheir brightness. The dead man h wears a cossack of pale hI je-silk, iuterwov- e en with threads of pure gold, and a lInen. . gown extremely fine, and trimnred with lace. These garments worn so many 1 hunilred years, se'em quaite new. Round J the haddis, dlasped on the breast, is t wined s a rosamy of white pearls strung on thread a of gold to which is attached a small box ( in the shape of a medaliont, nrade of a s metal whose composition is unknown. This medalion cont ains, on one of its faces, j thte followin~g inscription. in chatacters which suggest the date of the eleventh cen t ury:- 'Oato ha perator Parocko Irbicchiano f sculptori excellentissimo.' T he E mperor Otho to the Curate of Urhach, a most ex-t cellent sculptor.' On the reverse is the * figure of the Good Shephterd. Being opened, the box was found to cncle a1 folded parchment conl aining letters ofrgold and .liram'arine. The atncient text is difficuh to deciphier, but records that the priest in) question, one of the greatest ar tists of his age, is the author of the wo ndrious sctulptures,' representing scripture subjact, on the principal front of the high alt ar, anod that the sculptu-red pulpit, which was the greatest ornament of the'church, is from his chisel.
