SECOND DAX, THI'KSDAY, NOVEMBER 2. CHAKLOTTE, N. G.-Thc session was opened with a prayer meeting, con? ducted by W. H." Flemming. The minutes of yesterday were read and corrected. j Several ministers previously absent appeared in their seats. J. W. Wightman was appointed to fill a vacancy in the Joint Board of Finance. : QUESTION G. TFTto are thc Deacons \ /',). one Year ?-was taken up. Geo. H. Wells was called, and his charac? ter passed. He is to be examined on the studies ol' the third year. W. W. Graham was approved, and was locat? ed at his own request. The examination of the character of Elders was commenced, and J. W. Abernethy, F. Auld, A. P. Avant, M. L. Banks, and Charles Betts, were approved. The hour for the Special Order having arrived, the proposed Pastoral Address was read by Dr. A. M. Shipp, unanimously adopted, aud was order? ed to be published. W. Martin presented a communica? tion, setting forth the condition of the Church in Columbia. It appears that the Washington street Church, the Sunday School lioom, and the Station and District Parsonages were ' all consumed in the late disastrous conflagration, and that most of the members of the Church lost nearly all they possessed. On motion of Dr. Smith, the cor? dial sympathies of tho Conference were tendered to the brethren in Columbia, and the ministers pledged themselves to use prompt and ener? getic efforts to contribute and collect funds for the erection of a temporary place of worship in that stricken city. The document was referred to the Committee on Church Extension. The following Elders were called stud approved : W. S. Black, P. G. Bowman, W. Bowman, R. J. Boyd, S. H. Browne, Manning' Brown, D. D. Byars, J. B. Campbell, W. T. Capers,' W. Carson, A. J. Cuuthen, J. M. Carlisle, J. D. Carpenter, A. M. Chrietzburg, W. A. Clark, J. M. Cline, T. J. Clyde, J. W. Crider, J. D. W. Crook, J. E. Coburn, W. G. Conner, J, S. Conner, M. A. Connelly, J. W. Coward, G. W. M. Creigh? ton, and W. Crook. G. Bright was approved, and transferred to the Georgia Conference. Conference adjourned with tho Benediction. -Charlotte Times. A gentleman writing from North Alabama, says : "O'ir negro popula? tion is in a fix, and a pretty consider? able one atjthat, thc men, for the most part, roaming about in the exer? cise of their new found liberty, doing but little, and that little bad. They have no supplies, and how they are to live until green corn or blackberry time next year, God only knows. Thousands unquestionably will, and must, die of actual starvation. Their old masters' cribs and smoke houses are either empty or closed to them. The Lynchburg Republican say?: "For the last few days a large quanti? ty of baled cotton from Memphis, Tennessee, has been transhipped from the Virginia and Tennessee depot to the Orange and Alexandria depot in filia r?itv destined bTr rai] 'o*1 ^nnr York/'"" The New York Evening Post says: "Mr. Chase and Mr. Stanton will shine as ministers by the side of the Pitts, the Carnots, the Hamiltons of history. FLORIDA. -Tho Sen! i nd, published at ot Tallahassee, contains the message of Governor Marvin, of Florida, to the Legislature of that State, which convened on the 25th ult. We make the following synopsis: By the operations and results of the late war, slavery has ceased to exist. The Convention should therefore de? clare that all the inhabitants of the State, without distinction of color, are free, and that neither slavery nor in? voluntary servitude, except as a pun? ishment for crime, shall hereafter ex? ist. The emancipation of the negro makes it necessary to dorine in the Constitution what his civil rights and privileges shall be. The adopi ion of such measures as will guarantee pro? tection in the enjoyment of all rights I of person and property is recornmend ! ed. Protection and not political pri j vilcges is what the negro requires ii i his present condition. While opposed to any participation ; of the negroes in the affairs of Go I vernment, he strongly urges the ad missability of his testimony in the courts of justice for or against white persons, and recommends the passage of an ordinance declaring that no person shall be incompetent as a wit? ness on account of his color in any i matter civil or criminal wherever the State, or the life, liberty or rights of person or property of any colored person is concerned. The passage of an ordinance de? claring thc ordinance of secession mill and void is recommended; and an additional ordinance annuling or ratifying such other ordinances and acts passed during the war as the in? terest of the State requires. The message is ably written, and characterized by sound, practical ad? vice on the great questions which the people of the South are now called on to deliberate and adjust. SPECIE PAYMENTS.-The New York Evening Post, in an articlo on Mr. McCulloch and specie payments, re? gards the recent speeeh of the Secre? tary as a fair warning to all concerned as to the policy to be pursued by thc head of the Treasury, and thinks, de? spite the powerful influences of c strong debtor interest, who will, witt the time for paying their dues in r depreciated currency prolonged, fine in the unsettled state of the market! stimulants to their vocation, and o: the national banks, who will be obligee to contract their loans as soon as Go vernment sets the example of paying its notes, that Mr. McCulloch will en i deavor to carry out his policy. I sat-v.-. that amidst the boast of immens? resources of our nation, we fill th; country with lying promises to pay a shameful state of things which, i allowed to continue muc h longer, wil bring upon us tho contempt of tin world. The article urges thal tin contraction of the currency shouh begin now, as further extended th? hardships of a transition will be greata; augmented. The Secretary of thc Treasury has already complied with two o these conditions. He has commence? tho contraction of the currency b; the loan of fifty inillions, which, a onlyan indication of his line of policy has produced so much contraction and he will probably recommend fo legislation the subject of a gradua withdrawal of legal tenders. He ha also commenced upon a system o gold deposits, the effect of which wi! be, besides the facilitating tho pay ment of duties, to accumulate a re serve of specie in the Treasury to rc deem legal tenders. As to a repeal c the legal tender act, it is very possibl that this will follow the measure which are already inaugurated. [Baltimore Suri.

General Pettns, (now in this city,) a fine lawyer before the war, has re? turned to the ptactice at his old home in Cohaba. John T. Morgan has done the same at Selma. Charles Shelley is at Talladega, we suppose, engaged in his former business. John H. For? ney has settled in New Orleans, General Roddy, we believe, lives in Lauderdale County, and we presume is now there. S. A. M. Wood is doubtless at Florence, practicing law. G. I).

Having with good will submitted to the decrees of battle, these gentlemen vigorously set to work to rebuild their own shattered fortunes, and to add to the future honor and glory of the South.
