COTTON PLANTERS CONVENTION OF THE
South we observe in the Georgia and South
Carolina papers able articles in reference to the
planters convention, which it is supposed will
meet in this city on the second Monday in May
We regret to state, that owing to the misunder-
standing in reference to the time and place, no
arrangements have been made by the committee
for convention here this spring The resolu
ton at the Macon convention to adjourn to NEE
at this place in May, did not pass, although il
was so supposed generally. Hence the misun
derstanding. We believe it is the intention o.
the committee to call the convention here mex
fall, but we are not fully advised.

PLANTING PRosPEcTs.-Along the line Of the
w. g. A. r. r. farmers have made extensive pre-
parations for the new crop. We were struck
with the amount Of land that will be brought
under cultivation the present season. 1t seems to
be the determination of the planters Of Georgia,
that they will do their utmost to avert the calamity
of another short crop year Promise now is
quite fatterng for bountful harvest Wheat
was evidently little injured by the excessive
cold Of last winter but the large numbers of acres
sown will give an average aggregate product.
Oats look extremely well. Corn in many places
is well up, and cotton is being planted. Thus far
the ''season" has been fine Just rain enough to
prepare the ground for the reception Of the seed

The Methodist General Conference.

BosToS, May LIST.
The general conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, assembled in the Bromfeld
street church this morning. This body is COM
posed entirely Of cergymen, the laity having no
lot nor part in the matter. The members are
elected by the different annual conferences in the
ratio of one delegate to every twenty-one clergy
men. There are present about one hundred and
sixty members. The Bishops Waugh, Morris,
and james preside, in turn, over the deliberations.
Introductory prayer by Bishop Waugh.
Rev. Mr.. Trimble of Ohio, was elected secre-
tary, and the remainder of the day was occupied
with the appointment of committees and other
business of little general interest.
Several important matters are to come before
the conference. The question relative to fun
damenta alteration Of their ecclesiastical govern
ment, by the admission Of Iaymen to seat ir
legislative councils, will come up on petition
from the lay convention, recently held in Phila-
delphia. # will not cause much discussion, as
the general impression seems to be that the mass
Of the Methodist community do not desire the
change. Time will show. Several new bishops,
some say four or five, are to be elected and there
10 already much discussion among the dele
gates relative to the merits of the several cand-
dates.
Another very important matter, on which there
is at present much diversity Of sentiment, is, the
decision of Judge Nelson in the lawsuit brought
by the Southern division of the church, for a
share of the book concern. That decision was in
favor of the church South. The question now is,
shall the Northern church appeal from that judg-
ment to the Supreme Court at Washington ?
There is, suppose, very little reason to expect
reversal of that decison,yet it is commended that
it was based on very erroneous view of Mstho-
dst church policy.

Editor at Home.

During a months absence, we have
labored in eight or ten Of the principal
places in Connecticut, and en- route
home delivered two addresses in
Philadelphia and two in Pittsburgh.
The draft made on our physical and
Intellectual strength has been so great,
hat we feel disqua lifted, to some ex-
tent for our editorial duties this week.
In relation to our tour, and the ardu-
Gus labors endured, we will not speak
in detail. We would remark, in gem
eral: First-Great labor has yet to be
performed, before a law prohibiting
the liquor traffic will become general.
Second-The friends of this measure
must make up their minds to expend
more time and money than they have
hitherto given to this cause. Third
The end to be attained is so desirable.
that all the sacrifices required to at
tain it, should be most cheerfullv
made. Fourth-Thcre must be more
systematic and united efforts in each
State. One man, or a dozen men.
cannot do The work in any, even the
smallest of the States of this Union.
Too much reliance is placed upon this
or that public speaker, when the
masses really never turn out to hear.
Every friend of prohibitory law,
must be brought to feel that an i'm
portant part of the work devolyes on
him, and that his indjUiduaI efforts are
essential to success.

Our New Volume,

We thank our friends for what they
have done, and are still doing, in be,
half of our new volume. One No
more, and it will make its appearance
and we trust meet with the approving
niles of all. From the clubs thai
have lately been coming in, we fee
that our humble efforts to please oul
friends, are not unheeded by many Of
them, but that they manifest a will
ingness to do their part. This we are
gratiGed to see. There are some sec
tons of our State, however, from
which we have not heard. FIR ends,
the success Of our enterprise depends
upon you. The West can and must
sustain Temperance paper. Send
in your names, then, against the issu.
ing Of our next number.

Delirium Tremens.

A man named Jeremiah Norton
was sent to the hospital a few days
since, to be cured of this terrible dis
ease. On Tuesday, his friends made
application to have him brought out,
thinking he had recovered. The
same evening, however, he made a
desperate effort to murder his entire
family, consisting of wife and four
small children, by forcing salt down
their throats. Some of them were
very badly strongled thereby. The
preservation of the unfortunate fami
Iy was owing to the timely aid rem
dered them by the neighbors. The
frantic husband, under the maddening
influence of rum, required four stout
men to secure him, having become
raving maniac. He was again taken
to the hospital. go! that man would
put an enemy in his mouth to steal
away his brains"

for circulation in Ohio, and written
with reference to this locality. The
demand for it from other States is
so great, and constantly increasing,

course of ten days, any reasonable de.
mand, from any quarter, viii BE-

al hundred letters have accumulated.
The Editor desires to say, that he
will answer them as soon as possible
To fill all the appointments which he
is desired to make, would require a
lifetime. Too much reliance is placed
in our ability to serve the cause, in the
ten thousand places to which we are
invited. We urge upon our friends
the Importance of going to work them
selves, without waiting for foreign aid.
We intend, God helping US, to do our
part in the great battle against the

operations must necessarily be limited

Fatal ARRAY.

On Monday night, about 2 o'clock,
a difficulty occurred between the bar
keeper of the Jenny Lind Exchange,
Covington, KY, named Alexander
Daniel, and some men who were
drinking at the bar. In the alterca.
tion, Thomas Creighton, one of the
party, drew a pistol and fired it at
Daniel, the contents passing through
his heart, causing instant death. Thus
is this unfortunate victim ushered into
eternity without a moments warning
a monument Of the terrible retribution
which seldom fails to be visited, even
in this life, upon those who are willing
to lend themselves as instruments in
dealing out the drugs of death to their
felIow-men.

G Topper, did you know that the
component parts Of alcohol. hydrogen,
and oxygen, when combined, are sixty
times more explosive than gun-pow-
der and that these gases, when rising
from a pair of lungs saturated with
the spirits, are subject to explode when
coming in contact with fire? IT'S a
miracle you have not had your gissard
blowed out of you by this combustible
substance.

dation of his hearers. These are all
staunch Sons, and we hope we will
not have the reproach cast upon our
Order any longer, that our labors are
confined to the Division room, since
the outdoor aOork here, as every where
else, almost invariably devolves upon
the members of the Division.
