1 Vin "Tr' ! r' ri- . r'ir.tosi COLUMBIA. ? mi '? t ;\-?----?fe Sntday Stoning, November 17,1867. Methodist BpUoop?! Oh?U^fcv;< A statement is published from o careful compilation of the summa? ries of the official statistical re ta rna from the several annual conferences of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, which exhibits ? marvollous progress during tho past year. We condense some of those statistics, as they will doubtless be of interest to many of 'S oes readers. ^There are sixty-eight annual eon* ferenecs, being on increase of fonr ov.?r the previous year, This in? crease has been obtained by extend ir g the work in the South since, the c!o5? Ibo war. The new confer? ences organised are "Virginia and North Carolina, Texas, Gk Drgia and Alabama. The records show the ? number of traveling preachers to be 7,988-an inorease over last year of 412; local preachers 8,930-?a in? crease of888; members 1,144,768-an increase of 112,579. The number of churches is 11,138 -an increase during the year of 676; number of parsonages 8,570-an in? orease of 356. The total value of those church edifices and: parsonages is estimated at $41,012,479-being an inorease for the year of $6,097,517. The increase in parsonage property alone is nearly $1,000,000. The cen? tenary returns of collections from thirty-so von conferences foot up a total of $6,141,027. It is estimated that, when all the returns aro in, the amount will be over $7,000,00o! The - reports from Sunday schools show a very encouraging advance. Thero are over 1,000,000 pupils, under the supervision of about' 175,000 officers and teachers. A table is published, showing the comparative progress of the church by decades from the year 1776. We have not room for this table; bnt to show the wonderful growth of the denomination, would state that, in 1776, it had 24 traveling preachers and 4,921 members,. and that, in 1866, it had 7,576 traveling preachers and a membership footing np 1,082, 184. By the withdrawal and separation of Southern conferences in 1844, organizing the Methodist Episcopal . Church, South, tho M. E. Chnroh lost 1,345 traveling preachers and 495,288 members; and yet, so rapid was the growth and increase of the church during the decade, that, at its close, two years after the separation, there was a net gain of 654 preaohers and a lack of only 5,874 members of making up the number lost. We have no statistics of the M. E. Church, South, which, when added to the above figures, would doubtless show Methodism to be one of the most extensive of the Christian churches in thia country. We hope yet to see the two sectional branches re-united, as it evidently would be not only advantageous to the church, but would be an advance step to? wards reconciliation between the peo? ple.

The New Torie World nae some? what startled the political partie* of its section by an ?ditorial, proposing anew "path to p^soe.*' It propos?e a national conference, composed of men of moderation and character, representing all tho varions interests* The South, it says, should bo repre? sented by snob men as Wade Hamp? ton, Alexander H. Stephens, Gov. Orr, Bx-Oov. Brown, W. O, Hives, Gen. Dick Taylor, Gen. Longstreet, and others of similar moderation and standing. Without going beyond its own vieinity, it ventures to name Hamilton Fish, W. O. Bryant, Henry Ward Beecher. and Horace Greeley, as men who would meet the Southern representatives in amicable diannn. eion, with a sincero desire to reach satisfactory resolta. The measures proposed by the World are Substantially these: To require of the negroes a five years* probation, from the date of their emancipation, as we do of the more intelligent white immigrants who oome among ns from the despotisms of the Old World; and then admit the first generation on a very small property qualification; and in the second generation, when a majority of heads of families will probably have becomo property holders, make the suffrage universal. Universal amnesty is also proposed, and also the adoption of several of the pro? visions of the Confederate Constitu? tion. These suggestions, at the first blush, all appear very feasible; but we have little faith in national con? ferences of an informal and unau? thorized character. The Philadelphia Convention of last year, whoso bads and blossoms, as exhibited in the moving spectacle of Massachusetts and Sooth Carolina in loving em? brace, promised such rich fruit, proved to be utterly barren of fruit. And this was when the simple "con? stitutional amendment" was pending before the South. Now the gap has been immensely widened between the two sections, and an informal confer? ence, suoh as that proposed by the World, would be utterly powerless to accomplish anything in the desirable result aimed at. The shortest way to reconciliation and re-union is for Congress to open that old document, commonly called "the Constitution of the United States," and read the last linc or two of the fifth article thereof,'viz: "That no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrugo iu the Senate." Let Congress do this, und "govern itself accordingly," and it will prove to be the most efficient remedy for our present political de? rangement. DIVISION OP PICKENS DISTRICT. The following petition, as wo learn from the Keowee (hurter, of the 16th inst., will be circulated and signed for presentation to tho State Conven? tion: "To THE HONORABLE THE MEMBERS OF THE STATE CONVENTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA: The humble petition of the undersigned, citizens of the Dis? trict of Pickens, respectfully showeth to your honorable body, that tho District of Pickens comprises, as is well-known to your honorable body, an area extending from the Suluda to the Tugaloo River, a distance of sixty miles, nod from thc Anderson line to the North Carolina lino, u dis? tance of forty miles; und contains a population, uccording to tho lost State census, exceeding 20,000, less than 5,000 of whom are blacks; that the body of this population resides on the Tugaloo and Saluda, and'tho streams flowing rospeotively into those rivers; and that, to renell the Court House, tho mass of tho citi? zens must travel from fifteen to thirty miles, crossing for tho greater length of their way a continual succession of hills; that the village of Pickens con? tains only thirteen families, with no prospect of permanent improvement; that the country surrounding the Court Houso for muny miles being extremely brokon and barren aud in? capable of supporting a village popu? lation of a few hundred, tho town nan never prosper or afford tc thc p?oplu oi the District tho advantages of a central place of trade; that, in the opinion of your petitioners, wero the Di-triot divided by tho line sepa? rating kho two militia regiments into two Judicial District H, a flourishing town in the midst of a fertile and populous region would spring up iu each, which would give new impetus to the enterprise, and greatly pro? mote the convenience, prosperity und happiness of the people. "Therefore, your petitioners re? spectfully pray that your honorable body will consider their interest, and divide tho said District into two Ju dioial and Election Districts." . ?. j . ld - Yka pdaMMA aad A?iwt? ??IL. I?nd J EDITO?IS: I have just seen a copy of tbe Charleston Daily News, containing an extract from an edito? rial of tho Augusta Okronide and Sen timi, purporting to be the substance of remarks made by me afc a meeting of the stockholders of the Colombia I and Auguste Railroad Confpany, held in the city of Angosta, last week, together with certain editorial com? ments, thereon. Hearing, on the, morning of the meeting, it was currently reported thai the work on the road had stop 5ed, and that the decision of Judge loses was referred to us, I took occa? sion to state that tho case before Judge Moses was an application on behalf of th? South Carolina Rail? road Company for a certiorari, to or? der tho City Council of Columbia to certify the proceedings in a suit decided by the Mayor to the Circuit Court; that I did not think the subject matter of the controversy then properly before the Judge; and that the Columbia and Angnsta Rail? road Company was not a party to the snit; and. therefore, not bound by the decision. I stated that I had been informed that the Judge was a stockholder and director of the Sonth Carolina Railroad Company. I stat? ed the facts as I understood them, without drawing any inferences or de? ductions, and had no notion or inten? tion to do Judge Moses, or any other person, any wrong; and, if made sen? sible that I have, 1 will gladly correct it. I am for the first time informed of the fact, as stated by the editor of tho News, that the City Council of Columbia, is the Columbia and Au? gusta Railroad. Tho other remarks of tho editor are uncalled for and illogical. I trust that I am too well known for any ono to entertain the idea that I would offer insult to the Judiciary of South Carolina, or any member thereof. Its ability, integrity and purity of char? acter, justly entitle it to the affection and admiration of the country. WM. JOHNSTON. NOTICE TO SHIPPEBS. OPTICS G UNKK AI. SOP'T 8. O. R.

BRAINS VS. MONET.-To all whom it may concern, we commend the moral of the following anecdote, which we clip from one of our ex? changes: "A good joke is told on a young man who attended a social party a few evenings since. Tho conversa? tion turned on California and getting rich. Tom-remarked that if he was in California he would, instead of working in the mines, waylay some rich miner who had a bag full of gold, kuock out his brains, gather up the gold and skedaddle. One of the young ladies present quietly replied, that he had better gather up the brains, as he evidently stood in more need of that article than of gold. Tom subsided for the balance of the evening.

WORTH REMEMBERING.-Hall's Journal of Health says: "When a person faints away, in? stead of yelling out like a savage, or running to him to lift him up, lay him at full length on his bock on the floor, loo.se the clothing, push the crowd nway, ao as to allow the air to reach him, and let him alone.' Dash? ing water over a person in a simple fainting flt is a barbarity. The phi? losophy of a fainting fit is that the heart fails to send the proper supply of blood to the brain. If the per? son is erect, that blood has to be thrown up hill; but if lying down, it has to bo projected horizontally, which requires less power, as is ap? parent."
