North Carolina Conference.
This Ecclesiastical body adjourned on
Thursday evening last, after a laborious ses- S
sion of nine days. During their stay in cur "
City, Preaching in some, or indeed most Of I
the Pulpits, was regularly dispensed, and p
some good fruits have been realized in the !
conviction and conversion of sinners. The
MilASWf e all gone to their respective j
fields OF labor for the ensuing year, imbued. a
as we trust and believe. with the spirit of
desire to be useful to the Church and to the
world. The work, privations, and sacrifices
of a Methodist Itinerant Minister, are indeed
severe and trying. and he should receive the
sympathy and aid of all good citizens in his
labor of love and benevolent christian effort.

delivered a Funeral Discourse on the occa-
sion of the demise of Rev. DIR. IIezekiah G.
Leigh, who was called to his rest during the
last Conference year. DR.. [, was one of the
Oldest Ministers of the Conference, and the
strong hold he had upon the affections of his
Ministerial brethren, was evinced by the tears
and signs that believed their eyes and heaved
Their bosoms as the last sad tribute Of res

venerable co-laborer in the gospel.
The Conference passed Resolutions for

doIph Macon College, near which he resided.
In noticing the Missionary receipts for the
year 1852, last week, we made a woful mis-
take in giving the amount contributed in the
bounds Of the M. E. Church, South. In
stead of S85, 200, as was stated, it should
have been S165, 0OOi Quite a difference. and
worth correcting too, as it placed the South
ern Church in quite an unfavorable light.
The following Ministers were elected Del
egates to the General Conference, which meets
at Columbus, Georgia, on the LIST of May
next, viz: Revs. DIR. c. F. Deems, r. | Car
son, D. B. Nicholson, DR.. Carter, VIM. Bar
