Soiitli Carolina Conference.
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,

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.

WHAT ALABAMA SOLDIERS ARE DC
rNG.-In Alabama, soldiers and officer
have quietly resumed their old prc
fessions and trades as far as possible
H. D. danton and Alpheus Bake
are at home in Barbour County, th
one farming, the other practicing lav
J. H. Cl anton and J. T. Holtzclaw ai
engaged in the practice of law in tlii
city ; W. W. Allen in agricultural pm
suits.
C. A. Battle has opened his law o:
fice in- Tuskegee. We Lave heal i
nothing of General Law, of Tuske?
gee, since the close of the war.
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). Johnson is in Perry County.
Y. M. Moody, of Gracie's brigade, is
in business in Mobile. J. M. With?
ers und Zach Deas are in thc same
city. J. F>. Gordon has settled in At?
lanta. We do not know where Gene?
ral Longstreet is, but presume he is
in Georgia. 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.
