The Conference assembled at ' the ap H pointed hour yesterday morning, A despatch hom Nashville was laid be-. torn tho Conferencer announcing that Bi? zi ?bop Soule was v?ry ill anA-not "l?k?ly to' survive. A-resolution to refer the question of " changing tho. name ot the church to the anuna! conference was presented, aud for this a substitute was" offered, Twovidiug : that a convention shall bo called. A lengthy discussion ensued, in which the latter pro? position was generally repudiated, without any desire to adopt thc other being mani? fested. Both* tho original resolution and the substitute were laid upon the table. r The firsj; report of the Committee on Missions, which proposes.to alter tkepre-. sent organization of the church, particu? larly by creating two boards, one to ma? nage thc foreign affairs of thc church and tho other those at home, was called np. A lengthy discussion ensued upon thc various articles of the report. Tho points which elioited the warmest arguments were tho propositions in roferenco to tho collections for home and foreign purpose? Oh the one hand, it was urged that Ondes I he present method of collecting only once a year, not nearly so much monoy wouhl be collected as by making woekpy ail(j monthly collections of small Binns while tho latter would bo much more canvonient and much more agreeable to the members of the church-, ami that the collections made for home aud foreign purposes re? spectively ought to be kept sopar ato, and disposed of according to the intent of thc contributors. On the other band, it was contended that it was vory doubtful if so much money Would bo collected in small and often repealed contributions as by thc present method, while they woidd certainly be much more irksome to the members. A number of reports aiid resolutions were iutroducecd and referred to appro? priate committees, or laid over under the rule.

Of which, during the past week, in eluded in the above, receipts at tho port? 41,000 bales; exports to Great Britain, 45, OOO bales; exports to France, 13 OOO balee exports to other foreign ports, 2,000 bales total exports, 60,000 bales. Correction from Charleston and Savannah, where th statements have recently been made up have added, in the last "two weeks, aboil 20,000 bales to tho exports to Great Bri tain, not, however, included in the wcekl tables. A new feature in the trade is til increase in direct shipments from Florid and Texas, which so far, this season, hav exceeded those from marleston aud Ha vannah to Liverpool.

The varying estimates which are" put.ou the number of laborers in th? LSo?th devoted toogricsttur?, and OH the amount of cotton to be produced by these laborera th? coming season, prove undeniably either the elements Of Southern labor ave profoundly disorganized in condition and uncer? tain as to results, or that data on tlie subject are wholly insufficient to form a" basis of correct g?nerai conclusions. Some respectable ' authorities have differed to the extent ot 1,500,600 bales in estimating. the number of laborers. Os the one band, 3,000,000 bales are confidently assumed as the cotton crop of the season; on the other -hand, it is asserted, with not less, confidence, that 1,500,000 is a figure Iii at will amply cover aH the cotton that can be made the present year .by the available labor in thc South. It is useless, as some are disposed to do, to try to adjnst these discrepancies on the basis of splitting the difference; for where the differ? ence is so wide, and consequently where ascertained facts are so few, the correct figure is about as likely to be outside as between .the varying estimates. This large variance, which fluctu? ates with the shifting phases of the labor problem., and .the irregular statements of hypothetical data, is to be regreted. It indicates a margin in. the cotton market for correspond? ing uncertainty and fluctuation, which, if they foster the spirit of speculation, and favor an unwhole? some species of commercial gambling, are iii an equal ratio calculated to discourage the solid enterprise which always looks to something more than precarious and coujectnrable results. Fortunately, the agricultural situa? tion iu the cotton States is begin? ning, if we mistake not, to present a more definite and satisfactory aspect. The time for sowing the cotton seed is now at hand, and the quantity of land previously prepared for the seed by ploughing and otherwise can now be ascertained; as also the number of hands regularly employed in cotton cultivatiou. lu t .is connection, we are glad to have it in our power to point to the result of recent observa? tions iu the cotton regions of the South by a planter of experience and intelligence, Gen. Albert Rust, for? merly of Arkansas, now .residing in the Parish of Ouachita, La. Oen. Rust, as we are informed, concludes from , what he saw in an extended tour recently made through the Southern States, that the area of cot? ton cultivation the present year is not less than one-half of what, it was before the war; This conclusion is sustained by the tenor of intelligence couveyed by the country papers in this and other States concerning the progress of agriculture in various localities. The limitation of cotton cultivation to the half of what is was formerly is fixed only by a positive lack of labor for extending it further. We must infer from this that not less than on. -half of the former number of agiicnl. .ral laborers in the South bas been extin? guished in five years, or has been withdrawn from agriculture. The ex? tinction and the withdrawal have been, perhaps, about equal. If so, 1,000,00(1 blacks must have perished from the commencement of the war to this time, and 1,000,000 must have been diverted from agriculture; whereupon, 2,000,000 would remain from which to draw able-bodied lield hands for makiug cotton. Suppose these to be one-fourth of that num? ber, 500,000 effective laborers would constitute the whole cotton tilling force of the South. Under the new system of labor, no one has ventured to claim over four bales to the hand. As to the present disposition of freedmen to live up to their contracts by reasonable good faith and per? sistency, information from the inte? rior of this State, and from some o'her States, is of a highly gratifying nature. We publish elsewhere some testimony of this character, contained in the letter of an intelligent corres? pondent at Monroe, La., and in the editorial remarks of two newspapers, one at Monroe, La., speaking of the j crop prospects in the Ouachita district, and the other at Natchitochcs, re? porting the situation in the sann: re gard in one of the line planting re? gions bordering ou Ked River. lt is to be noted that the particular testimony referred to comes from points comparatively sequestered, and where the freedmen or their em? ployers are least likely to be disturbed by political agitations and passions. This fact may be cited, along with many others, to sustain th?' argument of President Johnson that one of the strongest guarantees of tho personal rights, and the welfare of black la? borers in the South, is tho urgent need which exists lhere for their la I bor. Mutual interest would soon ad? just the relations of thc Southern whites and blacks on terms of such I advantage to the latter as to satisfy the most ardent negrophilist, il* he were bonest. in his professed friend? ship.-New Orleans vee. TEXAS CONVENTION.

There are varions ihdioatioriB in the political heavens of the coming "earthquake" to which Thad. Ste? vens referred when President John? son got after him. . .The redaction of the radical ma? jority from 11,000 to. COO, indicates the coming storm, when the, people are called upon to vote for Repre? sentatives to Congress, next fall. In St. Louis, the strongest castle of radicalism in the country, the friends of Andrew Johnson have not only overcome 3,300 radical majority, in twelve months, hut they have ac? tually carried their ticket hy a ma? jority of over 3,000 votes, a loss to the radical party of about 6,500. This shows one of ?the most colossal revul? sions in public opinion which has oc? curred anywhere for years past. At the municipal ? election in St. ; Joseph, last Friday, the voto for ?mayor was, Pinger, 548; Beattie,. 576; Penniok, 394. Beattie and Pennick were both Johnson men, so that not only a Johnson man was elected, but tho Johnson vote, combined, gave a majority of 422 over the radical anti Johnson vote. Mr. A. W. Cooper, conservative, was, last week, elected mayor of Glas? gow, Missouri. "With one exception, the entire conservative ticket was elected. At the late Leavenworth, Kansas, election, Thoma, Carney, Johnson Republican candidate for mayor, re? ceived 2,506 votes, and Benj. F. Aiken, anti-Johnson, 906, leaving Mr. Carney a majority of 1,600. The balance of the Johnson ticket was elected by majorities ranging from 989 to 1,743. At a recent election in Springfield, Illinois," the vote showed a Republi? can loss of 400 since the last election, with conservative majorities ranging from 150 to 200. Jackson township, Indiana, has just given a conservative majority of twenty-eight. In the last Presidential election, it gave fifty-eight majority for Lincoln. The friends^of Andrew Johnson, in Marion, Ohio, have just elected a mayor-thc first time in twelve years' There has been a groat re-action in Clermont County. Batavia, which gave them eighty majority iu Octo? ber, is now about even, with part of both tickets elected. Stouelick town ship, which was Republican last fall, is now Democratic by twenty-five ma? jority. These are specimens of the whole country. At a recent election at Pottsville, Schuylkill County. Pennsylvania, the friends of Johnson carried the recent election for justices, by an average majority of sixty votes. Heretofore, the Republicans have carried their ticket by from 500 to TOO majority. Pennsylvania is claimed by some of the Johnson mon by 50,000, but we don't believe it. But these straws show the way the wind is blowing, and justify the President's convic? tion that the people will sustain his policy. On the coming elections, the Bos? ton Commercial says : "The great contest for Congress? men, in the autumn, will be one of momentous importance. If a plan of reconciliation is not adopted by the next Congress, we must look for years of strife and contention, which will prove disastrous to the best, in? terests of the whole country. The South is not in that helpless and sub? jugated position many suppose. Af ter one or two harvests, they will be a richer and stronger people than they were before the rebellion; ami if they desire it, much better to con tend for independence than they ever were before."-Mem)>his Bulletin. COLLEUEON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. - A wealthy Christian gentleman, of this city, who is well known as among the foremost in every good enter prise, Christopher R. Robert, "Esq., the fouuder of Robert.

Hon. T. W. Ferry, nienaber of Con? gress from the Fourth District of Michigan, presented to the Secretary df the Treasury a letter from the | President of the City National Bank of Grand Rapid?, Michigan, dated April 5, I860, and addressed to Mr. Ferry, asking that the law ho so amended as to allow the reduction of the amount of securities required from the National Banks, designated as depositories of the publie moneys of the United States, for" deposits of such piiblic moneys with them, to-the amount of $25,000. In reply thereto, the Secretary says : ' 'The matter of determining the amount of such securities is confided hy law to thc discretion of the Secre? tary of the Treasury. The minimum now established by regulation is 850,000. While the late rebellion was in progress, and the operations of tho Treasury Department extended into almost every hamlet of the coun? try, thc services of such financial agent?? as tho National Banks vere very Valuable und necessary to thc successful conduct of said operations. But with thc close of the rebellion, j tho Treasury Department, like most i of tim other branches of the Execu? tive, finds a reduction of the number | of such agents necessary for the pro per conduct <>f thc public business as ] it now exists. The difficulty of pro pcrly conducting this business, with nearly 100 depositories, at, oven the present minimum amount of 950,000 securities, is daily evinced You may judge of the increased difficulty of superintending and preserving au effective custody of the public funds, were such minimum amount reduced to 825,000. For the ab??vu reasons, it hus become a necessary part of the policy of this department to decrease, as fur as practicable, the number of its depositories, and to increase, rather than to diminish, thc amounts of their securities. Tho safety of tin public moneys, in my judgment, reu dors this course necessary, and 1. therefore, cannot justify the desired reduction. " THE LICENSE TAX-AGAIN:. In as sessin tli*? tax upon the licenses of merchants wlu> have been in husiness for less than a year, the commissioner is inquired by the law to i: ascertain the amouut ?d' sales, by adopting thc sales for such part of the year us a basis for the entire year." That is, if a merchant sells $2,000 worth of goods in the month of April, and commenced business on the first of that month, he has to pay a tax on sab s as if he had been in business for a year, and sold $24,000 worth. And so for any less time, if it be only five days. Richmond Dispatch. . ?- - -- - We have fallen onjpestilential days.
