WASHINGTON, Tuesday, May -, 1856.
The mails by the America did not bring the ex-
pected reply to the demand for Mr.. Champions re-
eall nor do they give any assurance when it would
be communicated. There is a rare possibility that
II may have been sent to Mr. Champion, though at
the last interview between Lord Clarendon and
Mr. Buchanan on the subject, the former promised
20 submit it to our Legation, even if officially sent
through Mr.. Champion. The Atlantc's correspon-
dence was received this morning, but has not been
, thoroughly sifted.
The answer to the SeDates call for information
10 regard to Central American matters not hereto
fore communicated, will probably be ready to-mor-
row. The Clerks in the State Department were
engaged till late last night in preparing extracts
from correspondence and other documents The
public has already received the gist of this intcli-
gence. Mr.. Wheelers dispatches will figure most

Our Military Commission to the Crimea have
made lengthy and detailed official report to Sec
Rotary Davis of their interview with and treatment
by Mr.. yailland, the French War Minister, which
has been formally submitted to the Secretary OF
State, and probably has formed the basis Of CON-
munication with Mr.. Mason, the object being to
elicit that explanation which it was supposed Mr.
Mason would have required after first presentation
Of the facts.
The majority of the Supreme Court, in ordering
the case involving the constitutOnality of the Mis-
souri, Compromise to 60 over till next term for re-
argument, have not surprised those who observed
ito progress and the notifications Of views occa-
stoned by public opinion. The minority were pre-
pared to meet the issue directly, and this postpone
ment is little else than convenient evasion.

of the converts to Spiritualsm'-almo all of
them were infdols, and some of them, like Garri-
son'-of most degraded class
1t would be difficult to name paper in which
the use of such language would not occasion
PRISE and still more SO to find another (where it
would be admitted) in which it would be thought
worth noticing.
But the Independent publishes in its list of con-
tributors your name, with others of eminent posi-
tion and character, and thereby attaches to its i'm
putations an authority and influence not to be dis
regarded; for it cannot be supposed that honora-
BILE persons would allow their names to give weight
and sanction, however indirectly, to personal at
tack believing it to be unj Just.
The name of Mr. Garrison is identified with the
cause of truth and humanity, and there is no fear
that either can be permanently injured by open or
covert malignity. Yet it is desirable to know the
spirit and position of every prominent actor in the
great strife before us; and although am not in
cluded in the honorable list Of Mr.. Garrison's
partic icular Friends and do not any moro than your
self, agree with his theological sentiments and
views Of anti-slavery action, yet am shocked that
his eminently pure character should suffer re-
proach from q source connected with your name,
and wish to be able to show that you do not justify
it. / therefore respectfully ask whether the
above language of the INDEPENDENTS approved by
you.
Respectfully, and truly yours,

HOW MANY METHODIsTs ARE SLAVE.
HOLDERS

DR.. Durbin, in an article in the Christian Adro-
cate, says:
ga few months ago, I asked ono of the oldest
and most respectable members oS the church at
Baltimore, whether many of our people held slaves
there =? And to my surprise. he did not know OF
one. But he added, he supposed there were such,
but they were very few In Western Virginia
Conference, asked the brethren who had the best
opportunity Of knowing, what portion of our
people in their Conference we're Shareholders, and
they replied, not five if indeed two, in hundred.
In Kentucky, the case is equally favorable to free
dom. enquired Of a brother occupying the best
place for observation, whether there were many
Shareholders in our Church, in the Missouri Con
ference, and he replied, from inquiry, suppose
there may be thirty, certainly not fifty"
If the above testimony is reliable, as from the
competency of the parties to testify, who gave DR..
ID. the information, it is likely to be- then there are
probably not more than from three to four thousand
Shareholders in the NJ. L. Church, out of member
ship of 100000. Yet, out of Difference to this
handful of men who choose to hold property in
their fellow creatures, the church is threatened
with disruption if she dares to so modify her disci-
pine as to make it conform to her present views of
gospel morality! In other words, the church is
required to suit her legislation to the demands of a
numerically insignificant and interested minority.
She will do no such thing.--Zion's Herald
Jan. II.
To the numerous enquiries we have received on
the point noted above the answer has been invari-
able. We do not know and will not guess. The
above is the first intimation from a Methodist
Episcopal Church paper we have seen, indicating
the number. 1t is commended to our readers as q
singular comment on the declaration so often reck-
lessly persisted in by Methodist preachers in the
rural districts that there are no Shareholders in the
NJ. E. Church!
OF Dr. Durbin's remark about the Missouri Con-
ference we have this comment and contradiction to
make. During the discussion at the General Con-
ference of 1852 on the proposition to make
Arkansas Conference HOutz, of Miss, spake
of their progress since 1855 an example in point
He admitted that they had Shareholders in their
societies, and were admitting them continually
"who are such by force Of circumstances"
To avoid mistaking the language employed, the
official reporter called Mr. Houtz to the table. The
following dialogue then ensued between the parties
named.
Reporter. "Did you say that you receive slave
holders into the church in Missouri f
IIouts. eve do admit slaveholders-th n
fact"
Reporter "Then you have among you state
of things just such as the Garrisonians have been
charg ing on the Church."

"Reporter. "Well, you must look out thon Mr..
Matlack here will be for exposing your dongs,"

THE PERUVIAN SLAVE TRADE.

1t is with great pleasure we learn that DR.. Par
ker, u S. Commissioner to China, has issued gov
ernment proclamation against the traffic in Coolies
of which we spoke in the Olire Branch few weeks
ago. 1t now appears that the unchristian and in
human business is prohibited by the Chinese au-
thoriize.
The damning proof that citizens Of the United
States are actually engaging in this slave trade to
Peru is established by this proclamation of cur
Commissioner. lie calls upon all Americans to
desist from the traffic and warns all who engage in
it tina. they will at once forfeit the protection of
our Government by so doing, and render them.
selves liable to heavy penalties.
We earnestly hope this matter will not be al
lowed to drop until justice is done to all parties.
If it is true that this outrage is now being COM
mittcd, the fact should be known, and the guilty
parties punished. If it be indeed fact, that
chants of New England, and even of Boston, are
furnishing ships, men and money to carry on this
trade in human beings between China and Peru,
we earnestly hope that no honorable means will
be left untried to ferrt the offenders and bring
them to speedy and condign punishment.
We find in the Boston Transcript some addition
al facts touching this infamous affair." which we
submit to our readers:
CAvITI, (eight miles from Manila,)
December 5th, 1866.
The ship - left Hong Kong for Calao with
four hundred and fifty China pa, sengers, and
quently the mate became master, and took the ship
here, in order to bury the captain On arrival at
Manila, the mate attempted to pass the body. Of
the captain the side into a boat, but was pre-
vented bv the Cinnamon at the time, who from
superstition, or for some other undiscovered cause,
rushed aft, when the mate called for his men for
assistance shot number and finally drove them
all below decks. putting on the matches and chain
on top to keep them down, where they were con-
fined twelve hours, and on taking OFF the matches.
l2S only were living out of 450 who left Hong
Kong five days previous. Two hundred and eighty
two men were sufocated or smothered by the cruel.
ty Of this Dutch mate, and forty more were miss
ing from the number The bodies are now lying
quarter of mile from the ship, in one large pit
dug on narrow point of land running into the
bay. There they are, all huddled together, after
dying such death The remaining l2S rushed
to the vcntilators; the others, not reaching fresh
air enough for life, fought their utmost for what
we but poorly appreciate, and expired. The poor
survivors present sod spectacle, there not being
one without some complaint While fighting for
the ventilators the cruel sailors scalded many be-
fore they got them below, thus leaving terrible
scars on their persons.
The whole ships company are in prison, and
will probably have long time of it, Thus the
matter stands
We have been informed that the above ship was
