Lord, D. D., one j. ~?. ?oabrook; of the laity, Messrs. W. C. Courtney and Edward 8 coring. The Ber. C. P. Gadsden then read the Bishop's address.

A brief tribute ia paid to 1 Bishops Hopkins, Scott and Hawkes, lately deceas; and the condition of the schools and church sei nary is noticed and commended to the considerate of the Convention. We make an extract from the concluding porli of the address: The whole condition of thc Church in the Diooc demands your calm and seriou??artention. Its pri tration is even greater perhaps tuan it is understo to be. Let it be considered whether nome plans m not be devised for increasing its contributions, a: supplying with the mnans of life its scattered me: bers. Lot us all. clergy and laity, ri?o up to t thorough consideration of this subject; it is t greet spiritual duty bet?re us. The Church is o noblest and purest inheritance; we must not let fall. Times of trial are tubes of grace, brethr. they prove us, and they make us; suffering lieman faith, and faith looks up and rest* on God. Wc a in a severe conflict: it ls the Church's test, and h opportunity. Let us hear tho voice of Christ bi: Belt; addressed to ono of the early Churches und like trials of faith and heart: "To him that ov< cometh will I grant to sit with me in my throi even as I also overcome, and am set down with r Father in his throne." I feel, my brethren, that I ought not to closo tl address without some remarks upon tho genei state of the church and its application to cu rs civs There seems to be an unusual re; tl' smess of t public mind, both in politics and religion. In t former there ls indicated a dissatisfaction withe isling institution?, and strong tendencies to Bern eratic developments. In the church, on the co trary, there seems to bo an Increasing disposition favor of visible constitutions, and a more orna culture of external administration and worship. ? tremes in this direction are producing extremes the opposite, and thus there aro engendered violo antagonisms unfavorable to calm thought, conserv tive influences and just conclusions. Ton understai me as referring to the subject sufficiently int cated under th?generol designation of Rituolisr I seek to avoid everything that may- produce exact b?tions of mind or undue feeling of any kind, ai shall not consider the subject in reference to any ci cum s tan ces and extreme cases. I believe that o condition in this Diocese, thank God, enables us pass by these, and be actuated by quiet, rober, an I trust, holy thought. I beg your consideration ol few just principles. The value of the Eplscop Church to us is not to be determined by considerh it as a single and separated body, with its peculi institutions, but ss lt really 1B-a pure, central ai integral branch of the Church Catholic of Jesi .Christ. As such it bas no limitation in its applic tiona, but goes out for its truth and authority to tl primal fountain of divine revelation, and ls capab of universa] expansion. I cannot now undertal the heights of the great arguments by which all th can be established in our favor; we are limited the point of Divine worship. It is well known th our devotional service is ritual-we worship in reg lari y constituted, recognized and accepted forms prayer. In some respects there may be disadvantaj in thiB, but the controlling benefits, we ?hink.shou be obvious to every reflecting mind. These are m merely incidental, as securing an understood ar holy worship, both for minister and people, ax other immediate ends that might DB mentioned-bi chief!v in securing to us a Divine worship baptized 1 the holiest truths of revelation. We may fair say that our Liturgy, taken throughout, ls not on' a prayer, but a doctrine; the distinguishable an perfect truths of redemption and eternal life ai incorporated with the whole, and wrought In wit especial beauty, and the purest proportions of fal ti Thus the glorious revelations of our salvation b; Christ mingle themselves with the heart's pures aspirations; and the great end af prayer is a traine m producing union with God. In the highest an holiest manner we aro hereby made not Christian only, but theologians, unconsciously to ouroolvc and without any formal action of the understanding Divine (ruth Interweaves Itself with the heart's sei sihilities, and light purifies feeling. I sincerely b< lleve that this is the grand truth of our public woi ship; we herein not only pray to God, but are taugli how to pray-to whom-ut whom-and by whom all the meena and proportions of access to the thron of God are observed, and the soul stands erect h her conscious sense of holy union with the Fathei of Spirits, through the redemption that ieinHis Soi Jesus Christ How the just efficacy of prayer lie i in, these truths, and itt application to us, in tb strength of faith and unobstructed purity of spirit with which we enter into this sacred worship. W mu? t have directness of mind and absorbing influ euee of feeling in this great work of the aoul'a aocea to God. Whatever clouds the vision of faith, what ever disturbs purity or heart, whatever misdirect the attention of the worshipper, impairs the effect o holy devotion. Nothing that gratifies the taste a captivates the imagination-nothing that is mere]; external or sensuous, however pleasing lt may bs can repay the soul for the loss of its direct access u the throne of God, and the sources of life ant strength, I believe that the system called Bitualien does this, and under the profound conviction of thii truth, I stand forth aa the inflexible advocate of aim plicity of worship, In tbs name of our Lord Jesu Christ, and submit to your godly Judgments the prin ciplcs I nave expressed. The Committee on Certificates of Deputies report ed the fonow lng additional deputies entitled to seats to wit: From the Church of the Holy Cross, States burg, Messrs'. B. H. Anderson, M.

Hanckel, it waa resolved that so much of the bishop's address as relates to the state of the diocese be referred to a commltteee con? sisting or two clergymen and three laymen. Thc Bishop appointed a committee consisting of Revs. J. 8. Hanckel and W. B.W.Howe and Messrs. W. C. Bee, J. B. Palmer and W. A. Pringle. The Rev. C. Hanckel, D. D., presented the follow? ing resolution : Resolved, That the portion of our Bishop's address which relates to ritualism be rot erred to a committee of two clergymen and one layman, to consider whether any, and if any. what action maybe ad? visable In refer enc-! thereto. On motion of Bev. A. T. Porter, the resolution was laid on the table by a vote of fifty-nine ayes to four? teen noes. The Rev. C. P. Gadsden then presented thc report of the Trustees of the Diocesan Seminary. The following elections were ordered, and the tellers appointed standing committee : Tellers Revs. W. H. Hanckel and John Johnson, and Means. B. Allston and John Gadsden. For Deputies to Goneral Convention-Tellers, Bevs. A. T. Porter and B. P. Johnson, and Messn>. L S. E. Bennett and W. C. Courtney. The Bishop then retired and Dr. Hanckel was call? ed to the chair, and the tellers announced that the standing committee and the deputies to the General Convention were re-olected. The trustees of the Diocesan Seminary wera re? elected with the exception of Dr. L. H. Deas, with? drawn, and W. C. Bee elected in his place. The election of the Trustees of the South resulted in the same committee, with the exception of Bev. A. T. Porter in place of Rev. W. B. W. Howe, who declined, and H. W. Bavenel in place of John E Cal? houn. The same board of missions to the colored people and freed m ' n were re-elected. The finance committee, the committee on Univer? sity of the South, and the committee ou the colored people and frtedmen presented - their reports, which were road. In the report of the trustees of the University of the South, the following interesting tacts were stated: That the lands wore as valuable as ever; that eight thousand dollars had been raised in England by Bishop Quin tard; and that Commodore M. F. Maury had been elected Vice-chancellor; also, that the wanton destruction of the buildings by the Uni? ted states troops afford a valid claim against the government In the report of the trustees of the Diocesan Semi? nary, the condition of the institution, and its ina? bility to continue its sessions without aid from the Convention was stated; also a sketch of its past career of usefulness. The trustees deplored the un? settled condition of affairs, and the poverty of the country, which kept the seminary- from extending the advantages of education. The Committee on the Colored People and Freed? men reported : The Board of Missions to the Colored People and Freedmen respectfully report that on the nth of June, 1867, they opened a school with appropriate religious exercises, in the building in Franklin? street, formerly the Marine HospitiL The school is under the charge of Mr. W. W. Tay? lor, Crom New York, who has had twelve female assistants, all natives and residents of this city, and communicants of the church. The roll numbers eight hundred children, with an average attendance of over six hundred. The teachers have discharged their trust with great faithfulness, and ?he superin? tendent, Mr, Taylor, bas shown himself quito equal to the task he undertook, and hos succeeded in producing as admirable a school as we could desire. The improvement of the children has been marked, and the hearty co-operation of the mott af thea* parents has shown us that our labora tum not besa unappreciated, and we trust, have not been in vam. The school has been opened and closed with devotional exercises and daily reli? gious instruction has been given. The different cler? ical members of the Board liavo visited thc school ?weekly, giving an hour on each Ftiday to religious training. The children hove been thoroughly taught in the church catechism, and their improvement is marked and satisfactory to (his Board. We have thus far been liberally and generously supported by tho freedmen's comin's-ion in r?ew Tort, but we have boen made anxious, lately hearing from the New York commission that their fonds ore running low, and that they would bo compelled to ceane their appropri? ation shortly. Tho parents of many of the children have pledged themselves to pay a small monthly stipend. We hope with this and such assistance as the Board in New York can give to carry on the work. We have labored in faith, believing that wc were doing a good work for the Church and the State, and have every encouragement to hope that tho seed sown in due time may yield fruit to the glory ol Qod and the good of souls. We have been unable, without money or means, to extend our operations beyond this school. We rejoice to know that earnest and effective efforts have been made in some lbw parishes for th? spiritual welfare, as well os educational ad? vancement of the freedmen. In the cities they aro enjoying many advantages, but in the country, re? moved from observation and opportunities, their mental and spiritual darkness ls lamentable indeed. While the church should not relax her efforts to christianize Africa, we are persuaded she could not more wisely or humanely expend her liberality and zeal than to endeavor to christianize these Africans in our midst, and through them, if it ls God's will, reach their race in their own country. No other business appearing, the Convention ad? journed to meet to-day at ten o'clock.
