THE GEORGIA ANNUAL CONFERENCE con-
vened in this place on Wednesday Of last week,
and adjourned on Tuesday night following.
We have not been informed of the nature of
the business transacted in Conference, but pre-
sumo that it was such as usually comes up for
action before this highly respectable ecclesias-
tica body.
We witnessed some portion of the public ex-
ercises of the occasion. The ordination SER
mon, preached in the new Methodist church
on Sabbath, by the venerable Bishop Capers,
was, we thought, very superior production
his theme was the duties of the Christian minis
try. At the conclusion of the Bishops SER
mon, some Is or 20 ministers were ordained
Elders.
During the afternoon of the same day, after
a most eloquent and beautiful sermon by DIR.
Cross, Of the Tennessee Conference, some
twenty candidates for Deacon's orders were
ordained by the Bishop. The ordination cere.
monies we thought beautiful, solemn and i'm.
pressive. Not the least interesting portion of
the days services was the funeral discourse de-
livered by the venerable DR.. Pierce, in com.
memoraiion of the lives and characters of three

8 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O-The Oracle of Con
cord has spoken, and the policy Of Gen. Pierce,
in regard to the Cabinet and other high appoint
ments, is made so plain that all the different
cGoues in the party may understand it, and so
liberal that all will commend it. The editor who
nut forth this article is considered as the conf
Dental organ of Gen. Pierce. The sentiments,
too, are such as Gen. Pierce has been supposed
to entertain. 1t is therefore, to be believed, IN
the absence of other information on the subject,
that Gen. Pierce will act with entire independ-
ence of all 'cques, and, at the same time, pro-
scribe none, nor refuse his confidence to any of
them.
The Senate have admitted MI. Dixon to his
seat by vote of 81 to l6. Butitisunderstood
that the Governor Of Kentucky may decide that
there is vacancy occasioned by the death OF
Mr.. Clay, and may re-appoint Mr.. Merrweather
to ELL it. In that case, Mr.. Melrweather will
come here to contest the right Of Mr. Dixon to
the seat, and the matter will take the usual
course.
An attempt was made in the House to pro-
vide for the appointment of a Committee on
Claims, who are to receive all the private bills
reported by Committees, together with the evil
dence sustaining them, and prepare accordingly,
at each session, a bill making appropriations for
private claims-.the same to he considered and
acted upon, item by item, in the same manner
with any other appropriation bill. This PROPOSE.
ton did not succeed but it would be an i'm
provement upon the present mode It treating
private claims 1t has been generally conceded
for thirty years, by those who have given most
attention to the subject, that special tribunal
for the adjudication of claims in the Government
ought to be established, and bill establishing
Board of Commissioners has been twice passed
by the Senate, and failed in the House. Mean
while, private claims will have little chance of
attention at this session, or indeed at any subse-
quent session.
A very important project was brought forward
in the House to-day, by Mr.. Ewing, of Kentucky.
1t was resolution referring to the Committee
on the judiciary, an inquiry into the expediency
of providing in the proper manner for a change
of the Constitution in regard to the election Of
President so as to submit the choice of electors
to the voters of each representative district-the
two electors representing the Senators, to be still
chosen by the voters at large.
Plans of this sort have been heretofore brought
forward by Mr. McDuffie, Mr.. Benton, and, l
believe, Others. The object and effect Of the
proposed change, would be to bring the election
nearer to the people, and to owe come or lessen
the tendency to Capitalization, and to accumula-
ton of power in few larger States which exists
under the present system.
The Committee WILL at least, it is hoped, give
us their views on the subject.

GREENvrLLE, Dec. l6.-Our young friend,
the Rev. L. NJ. Cohen, Of the Baptist Church.
who. the reader will recollect, was graduated
at the Furman University at this place last sum-
mer, has had the good fortune to receive lega-
cy of $4,000 from remote female relative
in England. 1t is known by the friends of Mr..
Cohen that he is by birth Jew, and that for
reasons satisfactory.to to himself, he has seen fit
to embrace the Christian faith, and become a
preacher of the gospel, after the persuasion of
the Baptisis. We learn that the.grand maiden
aunt, from whom MIR. Cohen receives his lega.
cy, few days previous to her death also EN-.
braced the Christian religion. Mountai''eer.

time past engaged in Washington city, in
the construction of q machine bearing the
above title, with which he expects to be able

being constructed is to carry forty passen-
gers; and Mr.. Porter intima,es, that if the
weather continues fair, he will be able to
give public exhibition in the course of a
few weeks. From the skill and ability of
Mr.. Porter, it is expected .ha. the expert
