Respectfully, &C.,
A. r. DEMPSTER.

I'VE are informed by James W. Walker,
who has recently been holding meetings at
Leesburg, and who conIersed with A.. r..
Dempster and others on the subject above re-
ferred TO, that the only difference between our
article and the facts in the case, is this we
stated that a charge was made, it should have
been, a complaint was entered; and inste ad
OF the Quarterly Conference entertaining the
charge, it entertained the eOmpLqinf-which
was preferred by A. r. Demps,er, as the re-
preventative Of the LeeSburg Cburch-and
passed a resolution recommending VIM. ].
Coon to be more careful, &C., in future! In
stead OF Wings and Democrats being offend
ed, it appears they were Liberty party menn
The above matter, We understand, came
up in the usual routine of business.-EpRs. I

James w. Walker

Held his meetings here according TO appoint
ment. Although the travelling was exceed
ingly bad, the roads so muddy tina, even ma
ny of the towns people were deferred from
attending, yet his audiences were large from
the commencement TO the close. The only
house that could be procured was the Friends
Meeting House. Application was made to
the 2nd Baptist Church for the use of theirs,
but it was refused, although Subscriptions
were received by them for its erection with
the distinct understanding that it should bs
free for all anti-slavery meetings. They OBJ.
tanned the money, built the house, and then
locked its doors against all advocates OF Dis
union. Sectarians may esteem this honesty,
but if the worlds people were gnilty Of it,
we should call it by a very different name.
TIN impression which our friend Walker
made was very good, and no one who listen
ed TO him, will, we think, question his power
as a speaker, or his ability 10 accomplish a
great work. So far as we can learn, he gave
very general satisfaction; even those who DIFF
fer from him cannotwell complain of his man
ner of treating the slavery question. Henry
w. Curtis, another agent of the Western So
ciety, was present and participated in the dis
cusslons. He reasons well-his conclusions
are sound and indisputable. He promises to
be an effective laborer in the cause. The only
thing we regret about the meetings is, that
almost the entire time OF the last session was
occunied hu on individual who raraly ba. e., -
opportunity Of addressing an assembly COM
posed of 50 many respectable persons; we
ought not, perhaps, to regret even this, for
we have reason 10 believe that the grievous
i~nficlion of the speech he made, and his APP
p~earance there, produced an effect directly
the opposite Of what he designed, and strength
ened the cause of Disunion.
The WILMor PRovIso. as will be seen by
an extract from the n. Y. Tribune which
will be found in another column, has passed
The House by a vote Of lis to l05. So far,
so good. Its adoption by the Senate is hard
ly likely; for il the House, which has a much
larger majority from the North than that by
, which it passed the Wilmot Bill, could only
t give a majority of fen to declare that the ter
| ritory acquired from Mexico should be free,
can we expect the conservative and pro slave
ry Senate will so far forget the interests Of
, the South as to unite with the House in its
action against " the peculiar institution!

NV attention has been called 10 an editori-
al article in the Bugle Of January 18th, which
seems to require a passing notice. The ar
ticle referred 10 is headed, "Are the Wesley
ans Retrograding!" As do not wish to &C.
cupy space in your paper only to correct a
false impression the article referred 10 is cal
culated to make, | will merely say, that you
have been led into an error by some person.
in reference to the case of w. ]. Coon
There has never been a charge preferred
against him by A. r. Dempster, or any other
person on this circuit, and consequently the
Leesburg Conference Gas you call i) could
not have entertained a charge against him.
In reference to what is found in the article
about Wesleyan members of the Democratic
and Wing parties being offended at language
used applying to J. X. Polk and II. Clay, il
is all a mistake. We have no such charac-
tiers in the Wesleyan Church in this place,
or in any of our churches on this circuit, to
the best of my knowledge. So you perceive
that your very nice and pertinrn, remarks
: about the watches Of the members of the Con.
fereDce are out of place.

As Liberty party has been forever Boosting
of its great reverence for that Right, and its
determination ever TO stand by it, we conclu-
ded 10 test the worth Of its professions, and
accordingly mailed some Disunion petitions
10 the address Of Colonel CiIleyy which had
been circulated in Western Pa. and Central
Ohio, affirming in substance that slavery
could not exist were it not for the union be-
tween the North aud South and requesting
Congress to take measures TO recommend a
dissolution of that union. These We desired
him to present to the Senate. Did lie do it!
Did he lay them, and the question of their re-
ception on the table according TO the stand
ing rule Of that bodyl Less than this
Charles Gag Alherton would not have done,
for he left ii to the majority Of the body of
which he was a member, TO say what dispo-
sition should be made Of the odious petitions
Of the abolitionists but Col. Cilley takes it
upon himself 10 say what petitions may or
may not be presented. lie did not object to
the petitions because they were not respect
ful in language, but he dsspotically refused
to present them, and insultinsly flung them
back in the faces of the petitioners because he

MoRocco.-The announcement of the
capture of the city of Taxa by Abd-el-kader
has been fully confirmed by the advices
received from Algiers to the 9th inst. 1t
appears that Add -el-Kader, at the head OF
5000 men presented himself before the gates
of the city, which were opened TO him with
out the slightest resistance. Taxa is only
three days march from Fee, the road to
which city the Emir Immediately took 1t
was feared that the prestige of this success,
and the religious character attributed to the
Emir, would attract around him the popu-

render all resistance on the part of the
Emperor, Abderrahaman, Intellectual.

WONDERS OF GEoLoGy-More than nine
thousand different animals have been chan
ged into stone. The races or genera of
more than half of these are now extinct, not
being at present known in living state upon
the earth. From the remains Of some of
these ancient animals they must have been
larger than any living animals now known
upon the earth. The Megatherium, (great
beast, says Buckland, from a skeleton, near
ly perfect, now in the museum at Madrid,
was perfectly colossal. With head and
neck like those of the Sloth, its legs and feet
exhibit the character of an Armadillo and
the Anteater. Its fore feet were a yard in
length, and more than twelve inches wide,
terminated by gigantic claws. Its thigh
bone was nearly three times as thick as that
of the elephant, and its tail (nearest the
body) six feet in circumference. Its tusks
were admirably adapted for cutting vegeta-
BILE substances, and its general structure and
strength were intended to fit it for digging
IN the ground for roots, on which it princi-
pally fed.-Buckland's Bridgewater Trea-
Use.

FEARFUL AccIDENT.-On Saturday last
MIR. William Wetherhold, Of this place, met
with very fearful accident, which had
nearly cost his life. He left Allentown in
Rockway wagon, and in crossing the Jordon
stream, at Kline's mill, in Lowhll township
which had swollen very high from the
last heavy shower-the horse appeared
giddy, made short turn in the middle of the
stream and broke both shafts of the vehicle
the whole went down the stream. The
young man. not being able to guide the
horse, was forced to seek his own safety
He left the vehicle and swan towards the
shore, but having on heavy orercoat. was
nearly exhausted, & but for bis grasping hold
of cluster of bushes, probably would have
lost his life. The horse and wagon fioated
down the stream some thirty or forty rods,
and then, by the friendly assistance of Mr..
Kline's family, was rescued. The horse
was but slightly injured.-.4Hentown PA. }

Mrs. LAURA b. BAEBER, wife of Mr.. Thee
dore Nj. Barber, of Lancaster, w. r., aged %
years.
The citizens Of Lancaster, will long remember,
when Mrs. b. in the spring of Is45, then young
bride, fresh and beautiful as rose, came with
her husband from her mountain home in Yer
mont, to dwell amongst US. Graceful, artless,
radiant with kindness, she seemed the very in-
carnation of all that is lovely and excellent in wo-
man. Cheerful, charitable, and wholly unseliish,
she was the idol of her husband and the admira-
ton of all who knew her, without solitary ex-
ception. aM
More than year ago, her health began to de-
cline; and before spring, it was apparent that she
was sinking into the grave. She grew more fee
blee, her cough increased, and the hectic glow Of
consumption crimsoned the marble paleness Of
her cheek Her, activity. her engaging attention
to the comforts of those around her, and hel
sweet vivacity of manners, remained unchanged
She was full Of hope; and either did not antici.
pate that her disease would be fatal, or concealed
her fears, through tender regard to the happi
ness of her husband and her friends. Sprin.
came, aud the fresh flowers and the sweet mus
of birds, but she was hourly sinking to the grav
from which all Nature seemed springing into life
In May last, her husband returned with her to he
fathers house in Vermont, and was with her
still hoping for her recovery until the very da.
phere of his existence, she vanished, expired
and left him the darkness of despair.

ing accident At a muster of the artillery
company of the place, one of the gunners
was most dreadfnlly mutilated by the prema-
ture discharge of a cannon; and although of
itselffar from being farcical matter, yet
the account of the transaction as given by

perhaps, worthy of notice. 1t is this

that it was likely to go off, and | hung on
