SourHEay METHODIST CONVENTION.
This body on the liih inst. adopted, with
but one dissenting voice, the resolution in
favor of a division of the Church which had
been so long under discussion.
Ii is as follows:
ReSolred By the Delegates ofMe sereral
annual Con fcrences on the South and South

Methodist Episcopal Church, on the subject
of slavery, by remaining under the ecclesias

and lasting injury 10 the interests Of the
Church and the Country; we,therciore, here

We learn that on Sunday last, a man by
the name Of Hyde, from Fort Madison, visit

given 10 the Saints, the nature of which VIC
did not understand, his buggy and harness
were cut TO pieces and he after being grossly
abused and ipsulted. was bedaubcd with
filth. The same paper states that Mormon
Elder, named Mcbride, residing in Camp
Creek ncighborhood, had seduced his two
daughters, one of whom had left him; that
some of the ntighbors collected and gave
him thitty-nine lashes, and ordered him 10
leave the country.
A Mormon paper, Of a later date, contains
the following dreadful invocation:
'rBul hearken to wisdom. May God, who
never errs, sprinkle upon every man and
city, that bellies the Saints. as upon Pitts

towards the Athens shore into the
shallow wafer, and is now nearly out of wa

place, which is forward OF the wheels. Great
anxiety was manifested upon searching the
main cabin, which was got at for the first

much injured that nothing about her can be |

and that in order to draw the public 10 the
Circus, he adopted the same thing as the
lale Mr.. Usher did here in London, viz be-
ing drawn upon the river by geese. Upon
the occasion, some hundreds of people had
upon the suspension bridge.
when suddenly an awful crash took place,
and all were precipitated into the water. Upl

ion papers say that some two or three hun
dred notorious black-lPgs, pick pockets, and
other similar characters in that city, left some
days since for the Long Island Races. A
