The Conference met at tho usual hour
VOM ter day. .
The decision of the Virginia annual Con?
ference, expelling Mr. David P. Doggett
for improper conduct, an appeal from
which bad oeen under consideration with
closed doors for two days, was sustained.
A number of reports were presented and
appropriately referred, laid over under tho
rales, or adopted. Among tho last was
onefrom the Committee on Correspondence
with other churches, one resolution in
which was as follows:
Resolved, That the Mothodist Episco?
pal Church, Souih, stands tliis day, as she
nas always stood, veadv and willing to con?
sider with Christian candor any unequivo?
cal and scriptural overtures for svnipathy
and fellowship which may be tendered ber
by any body of Christians in their general
representative capacity.
One of these laid over was a proposition
to re-estabbsh the publishing house at
Nashville, Tenn.
The report from the Committee on Mis?
sions, which had already excited so much
feeling and BO much debate, waa called up.
The discussion upon it was very diffuse,
but nothing new waa introduced into it,
and'eventually the report was adopted as
ii whole, as it had been some days previous?
ly in detail, the vote being ninety-live iii ,
favor, to sixteen against.
One member of the convention apologized
for having unintentionally wounded the
feelings of another in the course of debate.
A resolution for the appointment of a
standing committee of twelve to try charges
of immorality, aud hear appeals' at each
annual conference, waa introduced, ?nd
laid over under thc rides.
A resolution for the appointment of a
committee of one from each conference to
hear appeals taken on the trial of traveling
preachers was introduced, and referred to
the Committee on Ile visais.
A preamble and series of resolutions
were introduced, protesting against the in?
terference of the civil or other power with
the church. The doctrine that self-pre?
servation ia the lirst law of nature was ob?
jected to, as opposed to the letter aud
spirit of the Christian religion, which in?
culcates rather suffering and, if need be,
dying for its sake. They were referred to i
the Committee on R?visais.
A resolution was adopted that alter to?
day no memorials, petitions or resolutions
relating to changes of discipline should be
received by the Conference.
Thc Conference adjourned at nearly 2 .

BUTLER'S BUMPS.-A New York
phrenologist has been examining
Gen. Butler's heal, and has furnish?
ed the public, in the shapo of a chart
of character addressed to that dis
' tingnished officer, with the results of
the inspection of his bumps. The
document is a funny one throughout,
but the following extract is especially
entertaining:
You are sure to make what you ?
touch pay. You are au excellent
judge of the value of property. Are
almost skeptical in the matters of re?
ligion. Are more radical than con?
servative, and if ever inclined to be
conservative, are so from policy.
Can anybody question that phre
nogoly is a science after this?

"THE BARBARISM" NOT "OF j
SLAVERY."-An old man, residing in !
Johnson County, Illinois, was re?
cently murdered and buried by two
of his children, aged, respectively, !
thirteen and fifteen years. Suspicion j
having been excited, and the ch il- ;
dren questioned, they confessed the
murder, and alleged as its canse that
their father was old, sickly, aud a
great trouble to them.
What a pity this had not occurred
in some Southern State, so that our I
radical cotemporary might have got
off another sensation article on the
demoralizing influences of slavery
and the shocking barbarism of South?
ern society!-New York News.

pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Natchez, and said to be j
one of the ablest and most eloquent ,

HAVANA, April 15, 1866.
j To th? Editor of the New York New?.
! SIR: I have just returned from
i Mexico, after a sojourn of three
j months in that country. Having re
! oeived from Virginia Heverallettersof
i inquiry in regard to the prospects for
! emigrants to Mexico, and having
learned that many persons in tbat as
well as the other Southern States de?
nte to emigrate, I will state, through
your corn mn s, the result of my own
t observation and the information re
j ceived from others on whose judg
ment I could rely. I must stab?, in
' the first place, that my personal ob
; serration of the country was confined
t. what I suw in passing und repuss
ing over the stage route from Vera
Cruz to the eily of Mexico, the greater
part of my time having been spent in
the latter city. Tho lands in the Cor?
dova district and about Onzava,
through w hich the stage route passes,
are unquestionably rich, and intelli?
gent gentlemen, who had seen other
parts of the country, informed me
that there were other districts in
which the lands were very rich, and
j capable of being made very produc
! tive by the proper use of capital anti
I labor. But colonists will have man}
I difficulties to encounter in all of them.
I There has been no systematic etfort
; to survey or ascertain the locality ol
the public landa until that recently
j made under the superintendence o:
Gen. Magruder, Chief of the Laue
? Office. All the lauds at Cordov.
which have been surveyed as publit
lauds have been already parcelled out
i and have supplied but a small mun
! ber of colonists. Land titles in Mexi
I co are in a very unsettled condition
i and but few men know the bonnda
i ries of their own lands. So unin
1 formed is the Government itself ii
j regard to the land-, to which it ha
? claims, that, in making a contrac
! with oeu. Hardeinan, of Texus, fo
i the survey of the public lands ii
j Durango, the whole risk and expens
i of discovering those lands have beei
i thrown on bim, and he is to receiv
I compensation only in the event c
i his being able to lind and survey th
j lauds, the Government not eve
i undertaking to furnish bim prot?t
I tiou against guerillas and robbei
i while ne is engaged in fulfilling hi
contract. The lands offered by pr
i vate individuals in alternate sectiot
I to colonists, so far as I am informet
j are in remote districts, where til
I Liberals, or Dissidents, as they ai
j called, have control, and the Gown
ment can afford no protection. Tl
very highly-colored accounts of tl
country and its resources which ha\
j been published, and the expectatioi
of a large influx of emigrants whic
I have been excited, have caused pr<
I prietors having lands for sale to ii
I crease enormously the prices asia
I for them, and many persons xvi
I have recently arrived in the count]
! have been nuable to procure lam
j either from the Government or fro
I private individuals. The legitima
! consequence of all this has been th
! many are returning in a great state
j dissatisfaction ; while others, who r
j lied on the delusive, promises of a
I from the Government, lind thei
selves not only without the means
obtaining lands, but of returning
their former homes, lt is exceeding
difficult for those who have succeed
j in getting lauds to procure labor
put them in a state of cultivation,
the native population cannot bo ]
lied on for that purpose. -All idea
j procuring assistance from the (1
I vernment must be abandoned
those who desire to emigrate to t
country.
I have no doubt that Mexico h
' resources which, under a stable G
vernment, and with capital and lal:
sufficient, are susceptible of a vc
considerable development; but thc
who go there expecting to find t
beautiful and fruitful land which
described in some of tho publish
accounts, will be doomed to as sac
disappointment as that experienc
by tho old Spanish conquerors

On the railroad which is being ct

guage can get permission to pract

is nt) opening whatever for any

As ttl the stability of the Cove
ment, 1 will state that I have no
formation except what may be
fained by any sojourner in the coun
who cannot speak the langua
Though i remained in the natin
capital for nearly three months, 1
not see, even casually, so far u
know, the Emperor, Empress or i
Minister of the Government, nor
I seek to see them. I think, h
ever, I am warranted in saying t
any one who desires to rhake Mes
his permanent home, must do
without reference to the duration
the present Government. Infor
tion as to the length of time wi
that Government is to bc maintai
in the country is not to bc obtai
iu Mexico.
1 have not advised any of my ]
sonni friends to emigrate to the cc
try, and my knowledge is not snf
ent to justify me in now giving
positive advice either way ; but tho
my determination to remain in e
is unchanged, 1 feel a deep inte
in the welfare of all my country]
of the Southern States, and*
I knowledge which. I obtained from my
own observation, ns weil as from the
information of others, is sufficient
not only to authorize me, but, in my
estimation, to make it my duty to
advise all those who aro desirous of
seeking new homes not to give up
their present ones and emigrate to
Mexico until they shall have examined
the country in person, or ascertained
through some friend, on whoso judg?
ment and experience they can rely,
that their situations will be bettered.
Above all, let no man who has a wife
and children carry them to Mexico
until he has secured a certain home
and a fair prospect of support fur
them. By observing this caution
mnch disappointment and suffering
will be avoided.
I send this communication to your
paper for publication, as I have no
doubt that in that way it will sooner
reach the mass of the readers for
whom it i* intended.
Respectfully,

WEST VIRGINIA.-The New York
Herald notices the "cautious manner"
in which the President refers to West
Virginia in his proclamation. He
says nothing about the State of West?
ern Virginia, but speaks of it as "that j
part of the State of Virginia lying j
West of the AUeghany Mountains," {
as "certain specified Counties in the ,
State of Virginia," and as "the forty
eight Counties of Virginia designated !
as Western Virginia."
The Herold opines that this phrase?
ology means something more than
appears on the surface, and that per- .
haps the President doubts the consti- I
tutionality of the Act creating the
"State" of West Virginia.
The Constitution declares that: ?
"New States may be admitted by
the Congress into this Union; but no
new State shall be formed or erected
within the jurisdiction of any other
State, nor any State l>e formed by !
the junction of two or more States or !
I parts of States, without the consent j
I of the Legislatures of the States con- j
1 cerned, as well as of thc Congress."
? There is only one alternative in
this matter. Either the secession of
Virginia was a fail accompli, or else |
the creation of the so-called State of \
West Virginia was unconstitutional. !
It was created "within the jurisdic- |
j tion" of Virginia, aud the consent of .
' her Legislature was never asked or
j obtained. If Virginia was out of the ;
Union at the time, West Virginia j
may have been regarded as territory
acquired by conquest, and the or
ganization of a new State therein
would be as valid as -that of New :
Mexico or California. But if Vir- j
ginia was never out of the Union- as
Mr. Johnson holds, and as the radi
j cals dare not stultify their record du
I ring the war by denying-then the
j Act \v;is clearly unconstitutional.
j TUE CHOPS IN OHIO.-A subscriber j
J writes UR as follows from Morriston, |
' Highland County, Ohio:
"In regard to the wheat and fruit
crop, the wheat is almost ruined with ;
the severe winter. Some of the
farmers are going to plow up their
fields and put them in corn and oats.
The peaches arc all killed, but cher
I ries and apples arc hardly injured." !
I The Dayton (Ohio) Journal says:
We are informed that the wheat I
between this city and Union, Kan- !
dolph Township, has proved an al
most entire failure. Many farmers i
are plowing up their wheat and sow
ing flax-seed instead; and others are
breaking up their wheat fields, in- j
tending to sow oats or plant corn in j
them. North of Unios? the wheat !
looks better, and will turn out
pretty well. The greatest injury to |
the wheat has been done within the
past three or four weeks, the weather
having been very unpropitious. We
have pretty nearly the same account ;
of the crop from other sections of
the Miami Valley. It is not likely
that the crop has entirely failed, but
it will not, we feel sure, make more
than half a crop, and will be depen?
dent upon other sections for our full
allowance.
J General Butler, one day last week,
made a speech bfeoro tho House of
Kepresentatives of tho Pennsylvania

said:
"We had conquered tho South -
conquered them of all their rights,

He bad impoverished himself and
shed the blood of a brother aud son
in defence<>f the great principles for
which they had fought, and he for
ono would ne%-er yield, unless some
of tho leaders in the rebellion were i

Davis and Gen. Lee should be hung.

j Thf Method I ?t thurcli Noriii-If?
Tuc Kr lat?an Character.
There is no political ot religious or?
ganization upon this continent which
did so much to provoke the revolution
on the part of the South, or which
manifested so relentless and brutal a
spirit during the war, as the Metho?
dist Church North. Vor years the
ministers and its ?-on fe renee? waged a
vindictive war against the institutions
of the South, until they forced thc
Methodists of that section to separate
from those who were NO vilely perse?
cuting them. Not satisfied with agi?
tating and determining the question
of the sinfulness of slavery within the
pale of their own church, they were
determined to make it a political
dogma as well as au article of faith.
The church became, in very truth, a
church militant, anti went forth, like
Mahomet, offering to all who resisted
it either the new discipline or the
sword. Tt called a political problem
a case of conscience, and spoke of
the slaughter of human beings as
God's work. Were this great politi?
co-religious organization content now
to busy itself about the things which
it professes to regard as alon.? worth
attending to in this world, tho peace
of the country would be very con?
siderably promoted. But ii i-, very
evident to us that thc Methodist
Church North is going to discover
that Providence has prepared another
mission for it, and desires it to regu?
late the qualification of voters for
the people of the Southern Slates.
This is very clearly foreshadowed in
the speech delivered in New York, on
Monday, by Chief Justice (.'base, at a
meeting held to celebrate the centen?
nial anniversary of the foundation of
Methodism in America. .) udgeChase
spoke at considera! ile length and in
glowing terms of the labors which the
Methodist Church had accomplished,
and especially of the very active part
it took in sustaining the war.
He then referred to its future, and
assumed that it was still to continue
to exert itself as a political organiza?
tion. Ile enunciated, for the hun?
dredth time, that new and remarka?
ble truth, that it is impossible tu
'"look upon the face of any human
being and not feel that he is our
brother man." He might also have
said the same of the human foot.
After commending Congress for pas?
ing the civil rights bill. Mr. Chase
added: "A step further remains upon
the steps; for it is a long work this
raising a whole people; but one of
these steps, as 1 count it, is that they
to whom you have given freedom
must be permitted to defend it bv
I the ballot." The applause which
greeted this and similar announce?
ments was too hearty and general to
, leave us in doubt as to the opinion
. and feelings of those who attended
j this so-called religious festival. The
. Chief Justice then earnestly expressed
1 his belief that the Methodist Church
1 is divinely commissioned to inculcate
, his political views. He said: "Who
j can tell what this nation is to become
i if it is only faithful to itself ? Who
can measure the work that this church
; has to perform in making this nation
true to itself and true to its God":
i I verily believe that but for this
church nothing of that which WT
have thus far realized could have
j been accomplished. 1 verily believi
? that God in His province raised ii]
! this church. 1 do not say that lb
did not give appropriate spheres oj
action to other churches; but I il?
verily believ?* that God raised up thi?
(the Methodist | church for th?! pur
poses of aiding in leading this natioi
to these gmnd results."
Here we have the Cl lief Justice ol
! the Supreme Court urging men t<
agitate for the purposo of breaking
down State laws, with which thej
have no right to meddle, ami calling
j on a religious denomination to preach
up a new political doctrine. And,
with a mock solemnity, he delibe?
rately assured tim fools who applaud?
ed hint that 11 o verily believed God
' had raised up the Methodist Church
; as un instrument through which to
I make voters out of black men, and
that the nation could only be "true
to itself and true to its God" by ex?
tending the electivo franchise. No
j intelligent man will suppose that wc
j mean to condemn all Methodists and
j Methodist congregations in tho North.
I We know that there were many indi
I viduals and clergymen who refused tc
j foment discord or to meddle, as
j churchmen, w ith political affairs.
'< But it is an indisputable fact that the
. great body of the Methodist Church
I North, in the name of Christianity,
j and as a religious organization, euer
1 getically promoted and prosecuted
, our civil war. When the destinies of
j the country are so greatly influenced
j by such men and such churches, and
.when wo remember what they have
? done in the past, how is it possible to
j regard the future without apprehen?
