In his reply to Mr. Trumbull in the Senate, last Monday, speaking of tho efforts the radicals were making to fetter the President by taking from him the power of appointment to office, Mr. Reverdy Johnson said: "Supposo the President, who is n man of firmness and nerve, should be of the opinion that it is the pur? pose of Congress to war upon him, by taking away from him the power to remove, what will he do? He will remove and not appoint. The wheels of Government will stop. If the Pre? sident is impeached for it he can de? fend himself and appeal to the poo- j pie. What is to be accomplished by carrying on an apparent war, doing | what never has been done in relation j to any of tho*predecessors of the Pre? sident? What is the condition of the country? The war is over, and the Union still practically dissolved. ; What are the signs of the times? If the instructions given by the Score- j tary of State to our Minister to Aus tria are carried out, the result will be ! war between this country and Ans tris. We may defeat the few soldiers she may send against us, but she will j fill the seas with privateers to destroy | our commerce. With the eleven States excluded from the Union, we are not in a condition to go to war; and if the report of the Committee on Reconstruction is adopted, these States will be kept out till after the next Presidential election." (JEN. JOHN C. BRECKTNRIDGE.-The J-iOuisvilie Journal thus speaks of this noble statesman and soldier, of whom every Kentuckian may well feel proud : .'Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge is still at Toronto. As all the rest of the Confederate Generals are permit? ted to go to their homes and wherever else they please, why, in the name of , equal justice and Heaven, is he keptd in banishment? What evil thing has fte done that all other Confederate j officers have not done? What officer ever carried on war in a loftier spirit of chivalry and courtesy than he, or treated prisoners of war more consi? derately and mercifully?

Burning of Columbia. LETTER OP GENERAL WADE HAMPTON TO THE HON. REVERDY JOHNSON. The following well written letter, addressed bj' General Wade Hamp? ton to the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, in relation to the burning of Columbia, South Carolina, was read hy the lat? ter in the Senate on Tuesday: WILD WOODS, Miss., April 21, I860. To the J ion. Reverify Johnson, United Statt s Semite. SIR. A few day? ago, I saw in the published proceedings of Congress that a petition from Benjamin Rawls, of Columbia, S. C., asking compen? sation for the destruction of his home by the Federal army in February, 1865, had been presented to the Senate, accompanied by a letter from Major-General Sherman. In this letter General Sherman used the fol? lowing language: "They," the citizens of Columbia, "set tire to thousands of bales of cotton rolled out into the streets, and which were burning when I entered Columbia. T myself was in the city as early u? 0 o'clock, and saw these fires, and knew that efforts had been made to extinguish them, but a high and stormy wind kept them alive. I gave no orders for the buming of your city, but, on the contrary, the reverse, and I believe the conflagra? tion resulted from the great impru? dence of cutting the cotton bales, whereby the contents were spread to the winds, so that it became an im? possibility to arrest the fire. "I saw in your Columbia newspa? pers the printed order of General Wade Hamjiton, that on the approach of the Yankee army all the cotton should be burned, and, from what I saw illy self, I have no hesitation in saying that he was the cause of the destruction of your city." This grave charge made against me by C?en. S., having been brought be? fore the Senate of the United States, I am naturally most solicitous to vindicate myself before the same tribunal. But my State has no rep? resentative in tlu*t city. Those who should be there are debarred the right of entrance. In those halls, there are nono to speak for the South- none to participate in the legislation which governs her-none to impose the taxes she is called on to pay- and none to defend her or to vindicate her sons from misrepresen? tation, injustice or slander. Under these circumstances, I appeal to you, in the confident hope that you will use every effort to see that justice is dom? in this matter. 1 deny most emphatically that any cotton was tired in Columbia by my order-I deny that her citizens set fire to thousands of bales rolled out into the streets-I deny that any cot? ton was on fire when the Federal troops entered the city. And I most respectfully ask of Congress to ap? point a committee charged with the duty of ascertaining and reporting all the facts connected with the destruc? tion of Columbia, and thus fixing upon the proper author of that enor? mous crime the infamy that he de? serves. I am willing to submit the case to any honest tribunal. Before any such, I pledge myself to provo my positive order, by direction of Gen. Beauregard, that no cotton should be fired-that not one bale was on fire when Sherman's troops took posses? sion of the city- that he positively promised protection to the city-and that, in spite of this solemn promise, his soldiers burned it to tho ground deliberately, systematically, atro? ciously. 1, therefore, most earnestly reqnest that Congress may take prompt and efficient measures to in? vestigate this matter fully. Not only is this due to themselves and to tho United States army, but to justice and to truth. Trusting that you will pardon me for troubling von. T am, Arc, WADE HAMPTON. TEBRIRLE STATE ag AFFAIRS IN WEST YTRGINLV-"BIG BUCK RERELS" Loo.-ii?, ETC.-Governor, Boreman has been asked for military assistance. The sheriff and assessor of Wayne County, petitioning him, say: "We must have from twenty-five to fifty men here in Cassville, or else we must get out of here. This is the landing place for all the lumber that comes down Tug River. Those big buck rebels come down in time of high water, sometimes by dozens, from Logan County and from Pike County, Kentucky, with their navies (revolvers) buckled around them, hur? rahing for Jeri". Davis, cursing the Government, cursing Union men, and then we have to get ont. Sir, I frequently see men come in here who were indicted for murder in Ken? tucky, defy iii g everybody. Not more than eight miles from here, as some of the home guards were on the way home from being paid oft', a company of rebels fell on them and beat and abused them severely, calling the party 'd d Abolitionists,' and swore they would not submit to our laws. A few days ago they gathered in here, and raised a riot with our Sheriff, and fell on him with clubs and weights and tried to kill him and his brother. His brother ran into my house for protection. They stoned my windows out, knocked two panels out of my door, and nearly killed my littlechild.*' The greatest slaughter-house in tho world is at Montevideo. 1,000 cattle aro killed before breakfast, and . it furnishes most of the jerked beef that is used. Methodist Episcopal Church Con? ference. The Conference met yesterday morning at the usual hour. A number of reports were presented and bud over under the rules, and other rou? tine business was disposed of. A lengthy discussion took place upon the report in roforenco to the publication of Sunday School books, catechisms, etc. Eventually, in reference to the principal point, it was resolved to loavo it to the book Agent to decide whether books should bc purchased or published by the Church. A resolution that the present stvle of the Church, "The Methodist Episcopal Church, South," should bo changed, was offered, and carried by 109 to 22. A preamble and resolutions, stating tho reasons for tho original adoption of thc epithet "South," recounting that those reasons no longer exist, and proposing that it should be changed, were then pre? sented. Thc question being first put on the ex? punging of the word "South," it was car? ried. It was then proposed to make tho namo one of nine suggested in tho subjoined order, and they were so balloted for with tho result stated, those not appearing with any votes on the second and third ballots having been dropped: 1st bal 2d bal. 3d bal.

Church... - - Episcopal Meth'st Church.52 52 ">.) Meth'st Episcopal Church. 4 Methodist Church South .9 - The vote on the third ballot being thus in favor of "Thc Methodist Church." a motion to unite in the adoption ot that name was carried by a vote of 111 to 16. A motion to adopt the name unanimously was ohjected to. The discussion of thc suhject was even more lengthy than anv of the previous ones, keeping tho Conference in session till nearly or quito 4 o'clock in the after? noon. Nothing new, however, was elicited upon the subject. Eventually, the resolutions of the report wero adopted seriati7n, as amended. The question of the adoption of the preamble, and then of tho report as a wholu, was laid over. Notice was given that a train of cars wonld be in waiting on Canal street at half-past 1 o'clock to-day, to convey minis? ters of the Church to a pic-nic, which the ladies have prepared to give them. An announcement was also made that arrangements had boen made to take a photographic picture of the members of the Conference in a body, on the pic-nic j ground. The Conference, at 4 o'clock, adjourned t<) meet again at 7 o'clock. EVENINO SESSION. Tho Conference mot at 7 p. m., pursuant to adjournment. | Tho preamble of the report acted on in . the morning was taken up, and a substi? tute for the original one was offered, strik- j ing out the relation that reasons for retain- ' mg thc word "'South" in the name ?>f the churches no longer existed. Then, an amendment to tho substitute, striking out thc reference to thc reasons for the origi? nal adoption of that term in 1845, was ? offered: and thus amended, the preamble was adopted, after considerable discus? sion. A motion being now made to adopt the i report as a whole, another very lengthy ? discussion ensued. OnG member objected to tho dropping of the word "Episcopal" I from the title, as depriving it of its most distinctive characteristic, and one which it had borne longer than that of anv other j I Church in America; the Protestant Episco . pal Church not having adopted it till five years after the Methodist Episcopal Church had; and he also urged that none of tho I memorials to thc Conference hail proposed : to expunge that word from the name. Py 1 another member it was argued that the I present mme of the Church liad originally j 1 conveyed a reference to the question of the j elation between master and servant, and ? that if the views of the Church upon that j point aro the same now as they always had j been, the word "South" ought to be re- : tamed. Tho name "Methodist Episcopal Church" alone, he objected to as being the same as that adopted by the Northern Church. One member Vehemently de norm ced tho name "Methodist Church" as "ridiculous," "contemptible." "false in \ grammar and false in fact," "superlatively and absurdly arrogant," "nut decent," etc., and he stigmatized the action of those who had supported it in a similar strain, the ; most modest of the epithets he applied to 1 it being "a concent ration of hallucination." Subsequently, he explained that he did not intend any of his remarks to apply to indi- i viduals, but that generally he meant all ! that he had said, and would in future in- ! tensify them. A motion was herc made to insert "Episcopal" beforo "Methodist" in tho , title. A member contended that ono reason at ; the back of a desire of somo for the roten- j tion of the word "South" was a political one; and thia he thought was the best rea- | son that could be given for expunging it. j A resolution was offered requesting the Board of Bishops to select ajiame for the Church, submit it to thc annual confer? ences, and, on its being adopted in them by a three-fourths vote, submit it lo the General Conference for adoption. It was declared out of order. A motion was made and carried to re? consider the vote by which the namo "Methodist Church" had been adopted. Then it was moved to substitute for it "Episcopal Methodist Church." Another motion was made to make it "Methodist Episcopal Church." Each of these motions was lost on being put. Then it was moved to adopt the report as a whole, with the name of "The Meth? odist Church," and the ayes and noos w.^ro called. The motion was carried hy eighty six to thirty-eight. This gave tho motion a vote of more than two-thirds of the members present; but the President remarked that absent mem? bers might come in this morning and vote, and that a question might arise as to whether it required two-thirds of those voting, or two-thirds of tfTe whole number of members of the Conference to carry the motion. At half-past 10 o'clock the Conference | adjourned, to meet at 9 o'clock this morn? ing. - Xeir Orleans Orescent, '?Htfi ult.
