unanimously resolved to remain in
connexion with the Methodist
Episcopal Church to resist, as it
has uniformly done from the first.
the introduction Of Slavery among
its members; to hold no conncx-
ion with any ecclesiastical body
that shall make non-slaveholding
a condition of membership in the
church, and to stand by the disci-
pline as it is. The Conference

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.-The
London Globe says: In conse-
quence of the present unsettled
state of our relations with the u.
States, orders have been transmit
ted to the Royal Arsenal Of Wool
Wich to be in readiness to furnish
a powerful armament, consisting
Of various pieces of ordinances
OF different calibres, gun carriages,
ammunition, &C., for the various
ships of war and steam vessels at
present stationed on the coast and
rivers of Canada, and the lakes
that form the boundaries between
that colony and the United States.
More than 300 pieces Of ordnance,
with the necessary ammunitions,
will have to be got ready for this
purpose.
The report of the Imprisonment
of the American Consul at Ma
tamoras by order Of the Mexican
Government, is said to be untrue.
The captain of a vessel, arrived
at New Orleans from Matamoras,
states that he saw Mr.. Schatzell,
the Consul, on the evening of the
10th ult., at which time he signed
the clearance of his vessel.
1t is rumored in Boston, that the
Captain of the Hibernia has orders
to hold himself in readiness to sail
at an hours notice; and that in
consequence none of the officers
can obtain leave Of absence from
the ship.
The Philadelphia Sentinel says
it is a" standing law Of Providence
that the poor should salways be
ainong,us."' A country editor says
he has found the rule reverse in
his la case,-having been always
among the poor.

with one hundred dollar worth of
furniture, one years provision, be-
sides sundry stock, goods and

the 7tharticle Of the Constitution,
intend to exempt every homestead
not exceeding two thousand dollars
in value, from forced sale for debts,
contracted after the 10th day of

Galveston Ne,Us.
rv
LATER FROM 'GALvEsToN.-By the
arrival last evening of the steam
ship Alabama, Capt. Windle, we
have Galveston dates up to the
24th ultimo.
The news is Of no Importance.
All was quiet on the frontiers, and
the Legislature was principally
occupied in matters of mere local
interest. The following Resolu-
tion had been offered in the House.
Be it Resolved, That our Sena-
tors in Congress be, and they are
hereby instructed, to vote for the
resolution introduced into the
House of Representatives, giving
notice to Great Britain Of the ces-
sation of the joint occupancy of
the Oregon territory.

INCREASE OF MILITARY FoRcE IN
CANADA.-It cannot and ought not
to escape notice that the military
forces in Canada have been aug
rncntcd since the arrival Of Lord
Cathcart in Canada. The folio
wing information is deduccd from
private letters. No doubt the u.
States Government is or ought to
be aware of all that is doing on
the frontiers. The black troops
disbanded in 1871, 1000 strong,
have been reorganized and are
now again on pay. 1000 infantry
have been raised at Toronto. and
are now fully organized. The Off
GERS are composed of veterans, late
half pay officers Of the line. One
battery of artillery completed.
One troop Of cavalry under Major
General Jones, 900 strong. All
the militia on the northeast from
tier has been assembled, drafted
and placed under half-pay officers ;
amount of this force not known.
The first battalion of a regiment,
1900 strong, has arrived from the
West Indies since lst. March. All
troops enumerated are exclusive
of the six regular regiments of
the line occupying the garrisons of
East and West Canada. The
militia Of both Canadas have been
carefully enrolled, and all names
not available stricken out and all
legal exempts. The number held
liable to actual duty is 1877 500.
All the forts in Canada are in the
very best repair, and arrangements
are. being made that will insure an
ample concentration of force for
their defence in twelve days no.
tice.

THE AlLANTHUS

Is remarkably graceful and elegant shade
tree, possessing the principal qualities
beauty, rapid growth, adoption to almost
every climate and soil, and freedom from
insects. This tree, as has been asc err
tanned by careful enquiry, was imported
into the United States about the year 1885,
by Mr.. Hamilton; it was afterwards in
troduced into Rhode Island from South
America, where it has spread. Within u
or Is years it has begun to excite atten.
ton, and is now the favorite tree in New
York, and other places where it is known.
The scarcity of seed has tended to prevent
its more extensive propagation; bat aow
that they can be procured IN considerable
quantities, it is important that they should
be scattered widely through the country,
and that those who appreciate the value
of fine trees, and the embellishments OF
grounds should be informed on the sub.
! ject.
The Aianthus is a native of the East
Indies, probably of Japan; and its name
is said to mean in the language of that
Island, the Tree of Heaven. The timber
is good for fuel and for other purposes. In
France it is esteemed for cabinet-work
In rapidity of growth when young, it ex
ceeds almost all other trees. In appear
ance ii bears degree of resemblance to
the palm: so that ii sometimes gives semi
tropical aspect to landscape.
