The Methodist Church North.

The disunion Of The Methodist Church,
by dividing line nearly Identical with that
which distinguished .iro suvcI,ol,ling and
on.slaveholding States, offers political
study both interesting mud Instructive
Considering it so, We have read with
attention the proceedings Of general
meeting of tho members OF that denom.
nation in The city and county Of Phila.
dclphn held on Thursday last.
The object of tins meeting was to Sc
cure All expression OF opinion in favor of
yel rescntatIon of lay members in The Con.
Eronccs. Resolutions To that effect were
adopted with but few dissenting voices,
and call was made on The members OF Tie
Methodist Church throughout The North, to
mite in Convention at Philadelphia in
March next, for the purpose OF pressing this
radCa! change OIL the General Conference
of the Church.
In Tho course Of the discussion j,
appeared that this spirit of innovation was
no sudden thing, but had been for some
zine sowing its poison in The Church. In
fact the extent TO which agitation hnd been
earried on the subject, was given by one Of
the speakers as his reason for advocating
the change. He said:
"Thc effect which misrepresentation
from tho laty has had upon The church
disturbing It's peace. is the very reason
II would assign Why wc should effect that
ehjcct. 1t is impossible 10 suppress the
agitation only by this measure. hope

a NEw CALIFORNIA WONDER. Tn:
Springfield (Mass.) Republican says
that Mr.. De Win, Of that town re-.
Gently returned from California, bring.
ing with him piece Of mans fist
On thanksgiving day il was brought oul
for exhibition TO u friend, when il ncc.
dsntally fell on the floor, and split open.
Near tho centre of The mass, was dis.
covered, firmly imbcdded in The quartz
and slightly corrodcd, cnt iron nail,
OF the size OF a six. x.pcnny nail. II was
entirely straight, and had perfect
head. The inference is that nails arc
found among The mineral products Of
California. Somebody will find an
antc.dcluvian jack knife yet, which
will conclusiveIy show that the frs, in.
habitanls Of tho globc were "rcal"
Yankees.
