METHODIST AND SLAVERY. The Method
list General Conference at indianapolis, has
settled the question of the "Discipline Of
the Church, in the matter of slavery
The report which gave rise to the discussion
contained resolution condemning the buy
ing, selling and holding Of slaves The
discipline" as it stands, forbids ''buying
and selling human beings" 1t was urged,
in opposition to the proceeding, that slave
Try is civil institution alone, not created
by the church, and not to be destroyed by the
church. To pass this required a two-thirds
vote, and the vote being yeas 121, nays 95,
the proposition to amend was decided in the
negative. On the 3Oth, an effort was made
to press through the second resolution of the
slavery report, rendering all shareholders
liable to the Discipline for the sin Of slave
ry; but it was finally laid on the table by a
Iyote of 123 to 90

A STEAMBOAT FOR THE BALTIMORE TRADE

A STEAMBOAT FOR THE BALTIMORE TRADE.
Some of our farmers and other citizens have
it in contemplation to purchase Steamboat
to run from different points on the Potomac
river to Baltimore city, for the conveyance
of freight and passengers. The experience
of many of our agricultural friends in fail
ing to get their wheat to market last fall,
when prices were high, for the want of faci-
lities, has taught them the necessity of a.
dopting steam communication. The increas-
ing productions of the county, the distance
from market, and other considerations, make
it apparent also that such facilities are in
We understand that Steam
boat, the owners of which have no further
use for her, can be purchased at moderate
price, and it is said she is a staunch boat
and every way suitable for the trade. That
such an enterprise, conducted with proper
energy, would be profitable, we have not
the slightest doubt.
In order to forward this movement, we
have been requested to say that meeting
Of persons friendly to the object will be held
in Port Tobacco on Tuesday neat, the 18th,
to take the matter into consideration. The
citizens generally are invited to attend.

ENGLAND AND CENTRAL AMERICA
Important Correction. -The statement re-
ceived from Quebec on the arrival of the
Cunard steamer Indian, with regard to Mr..
Marcys having suggested combination of
the English and American governments for
the protection of their respective citizens in
Nicaragua, turns out to have been mis-
take Of the telegraph. The full report of
Lord Clarendon's speech in the House of
Lords, shows that the idea originated with
his lordship and not with Mr.. Marcy
Sun.

ciously visited during the past week, in this

The Mormons are experiencing hard times
at Salt Lake. Food is so scarce that beggary
from door to door is as common as in our
Atlantic cities. Brigham Young denounces
the practice as likely to be an imposture,
though he says where any of the saints have
gone fire days without food they ought to
make their wants known. Rather task

try where food is so scarce.

The first Methodist class-meeting in this
country was formed in the city of New York,
by Philip Embury, in 1766. The first an

in 1878, when the body consisted of 10
preachers and about 100 members. The
first formal organization Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, as an ecclesiastical body
took place December Goth, 1888, in Balti-

conference and the Rev. Francis Asbury

GENERAL WALKER.-The New Orleans
Picay,.me speaks in the following terms of
the character of Gen. Walker:
This city was the residence of Gen. Wal
ker for several years before he emigrated to
California from an intimate acquain-
lance with him we are able to say that his
record here, too, was without spot Or blem-
ish. Nothing can be said, with the shadow
Of truth, against his pursuits or manner of
life. He had no vices or irregularity of
habits. His tastes were all refined, his oc-
cupations intellectual. He was temperate,
studious, meditative; of high intellectual
culture and varied accomplishments; good
classical scholar-he had studied medicine
and law, and cultivated belles-lettres and
was remarkable proficient in music, of
which he was very fond. Slow and delibe-
rate in speech from his custom of bordering
we'll over the manner and matter Of what he
should say, he was terse and forcible ra
ther than an elegant speaker; but with the
pen he was powerful, writing with great IA
cility and vigor. He was early embued
with the most radical opinions, and held to
them with unfinching tenacity and utter
forgetfulness of any considerations Of self
interest One of his prominent character
istics is an utter absence of selfshness, I'M
less the ambition to be distinguished in a
cause which he may have espoused, because
he believes it honest, be classed as selfish.
Of the faint of anything sordid he is utterly
free of even suspicion. With these qua
titles and qualifications, he is of the stuff of
which the regenerators Of nations are made
the men of indomitable will and austere
virtues, who control great events, and whom
men are willing to follow trustingly.

years. On Tuesday last, we conversed with
gentleman from one of the lower districts
Of the county, and we were assured that, in
his section, there were, at least, a thousand
bushels of seed wheat that would not yield
as much as was seeded The corn and oat

CRops IN PRINCE GEoRGE's.- The Wheat
crop, in this neighborhood, which some
weeks since gave promise of an abundant
yield, is now, we are sorry to say, in an al
most ruined condition. The fly has made
its appearance, and the fields present a
gloomy prospect.
We are in the midst of severe drought,
one almost unparalleled for this season.
The Tobacco plants in the early beds are
becoming overgrown, and are fast failing !;
and under no circumstances can the usual
crop be planted Unless we have rain in a
few days, the crops must be extremely short.
All kinds of vegetation was suffering for
rain. We learn that the frost of last Fri
day night made sad havoc on the market
farms in Spalding's district, in this county.
The beans and tomato plants were severely
bitten, and in many cases totally destroyed.
