f! soUrHERS METHODIST CONFERENCE.-The CORES
pondeut Of the Petersburg (va) Democrat, wri.
ting from Nashville on tho 17th inst, says:
The General Conference is still occupied with the
discussion of the alabama Resolutions The
point nov under debate is, whether the constitu.
tionai majority of tbree-fcurths of all the mets.
bers of the several annual Conferences has really
been obtained, in recommendation Of the proposed
change. More than tbree-fourshs Of the aupusi
Conferences, before which the alabama Ress,u.
tions' were officially presented for coDcurrenes,
have been reported to this Conferences; but 1t is
alleged that the Pacific, Kansas aud Irdian Mia
SION Conferences have not acted on theu and
therefore the constitutional majority is not re-
ported to the General Conference In reply to this
it Is argued that the Pacific Conference is in favor
OF the proposed change, ss declared by Bishop Ka
vanaush, who last visited California and that tlr
surplus OF 50 votes the three-four N zpf a e
votes reported, is more than equal to all tn
In the Kansas aud Indian Mission Confrrer s. To-
gether, supposiGs all we're cast against the resc,-
ti0bs. This is the point now iR debate How il
will be decided, remains yet TO be determined -
The alabama Resolutions,' as stated ia nv last
letter, propose to strike from the discipline Of The
church the general rule that relates the subject
OF slavery. There are not more than eight or ten
persons in the General Conference, suppose from
all that has been developed, who are opposed to
striking out the rule + ON the disclpine; bat the
ground taken by the opposition is, that tho Gene
raj Conference has not the constitutional authority
to act in the premises. Ii 10 therefore proposed to
originate an action by the Conference to aeeoiu.
Piish the change, by recommending the striking
out OF the rule In question by two-thirds vote OF
this Conference and then senGing it round to ths
annual Conferences for concurrence OF three
fourtas of all the MEMBERS provided for in the
the constitutional recommendation has glready
been obtained aud reported, are unwilling to yi.ld
their ground, and hence the debate in pro
gress.
The Committee on Boundaries have reported In
favor of transferring the Danville District now in
the North Carolina Conference, to the Virginia Con-
ference, but the subject has not Jet up for &C
ion. 1t is expected that there will be spirited

that motion will be made to amend the report by
proposing that the North Carolina Conference
boundaries shall be State lines; this will be NOV.
ed, most probably, with the design of getting the
| Murfreesborough District, most of which lies In
| North Carolina, but which at present beiopgs to
the Virginia Conference, transferred to the North
Carolina Conference. The Committee on Beunda-
| ries have not recommended any such transfer, for
| the reason that, with the exception sf few ind-
vidusis. there was petition asking for such
transfer ON the part OF the people.
| TEE "srYx" TO Bs CArruRsD,-The greatest e1-
citemeut prevails in Havana, consequent upon the
late landing of British Marines on tho Island. A
letter says:
| San American captain, who 10 about to leave
| Havana for tbs Chinese seas to bring cargo OF
immigrants to Cuba, was fitting up his vessel in
such a manner to be able TO resist the attack OF
any weasel that may assal him at sea- either going
or returning: and he has declared his ntaptio to
| fight for il, if the Styx attempts to board and
| search him. Some of the rich people of Havana SO
highly approve of this determination that they
have offered this captain $4,000 if he succeed
in bringing the pugnacious styx into barbor as =
conquered gunboat. The results of these belicose
Indications remain to be seen; but doGbt the
prompt and decsiye measures of the American
government will prevent the anguinary intentions
