The New-York Correspondent and
Methodist Book C3nccrn.

Mr.. E'litm:-ln your paper of the
nh inst, from your Eew.York cor
respondent | find the following:
"1hc difficulty between the Mc,ho-
dist church North and South, in res
poet to the mammoth Book Concern,
in this city, has not yet been finally
disposed OF, although the principlcin-
volvcd was decided by the u. S Cir
cuii Court in favorof tho Church South
and the Church North has decided not
to appeal. The cause Of the delay is
said to be the confused state Of the
accounts of the Concern, which tho
mdt skillful book.kcepers find it dil.
ficnlt TO unravel; aud, until these nc.
counts are slraightedcd out it will be
impossible to ascertain the value of
the Concern. Tho fact is, the Book
Concern has been in tho hands Of tho
most stupid mud incompetent men that
could have been cullcd from the whole
field'of the Methodist denominations.
They may been obmlanllyblcss.

general earnest of most abundant
crops of wheat, oats, corn aud grass
The process Of harvesting has been

on many large farms will last through
the month of August, The prices OF
grain, &c. must come down consider
