the General Conference of the Meth.

"There ale number Of very able
men present; men of great ability as
teachers, and powerful in debate
and there are some who are giants in
physical nature. For example there
are four members of the conference
whose aggregate length is 26 feet
namely, the Rev. Mr.. Young. of Mis-
souri,, who stands full 6 feet s inches
in his slippers; the Rev. Mr.. Kelly.
Of South Carolina, who stands full 6

of Texas, 6 feet 6 inches, plus; and
the Rev. DR.. Mitchell, of Alabama, 6
feet 4 inches and a half. Three Of
these reverend gentlemen are as fine
ly proportioned men as you would
meet in days walk about town; nor
are they men of ordinary intellectual
endowments. All of them stand
high as men of intelligence and fine
preaching abilities"

steamer Arctic; also to Commander
John Rodgers to take command Of
the steamer Water Witch, also at

be prepared for service.
The President is determined to
put a stop to these outrages at once;
and it a collision should result, the

British Government, which gave the
offensive orders, and the English
Minister here, who doubtless knew
the instructions which had been CIV

THE EXCHANGE BANK.

The investigation now going 90 IN
Nashville, in which this institution,
the holders GIFTS notes and the peo-
pie in the State generally are inter
Iested, has not yet been completed.
William aud Joseph Spence we're
actively engaged in their banking
house during three days Of last week,
using their means on hand in paying
off their liabilities. A work of this
kind requires rigid adherance to
order. As their depositors have no
claim Cd the State nor on the bonds
of the State, they are paid before
note holders. Many Of them have
received all that was due them,and We
understand that it is the purpose Of
these gentlemen to exhaust all the
means in their possession, to the hast
dollar if necessary, in discharging
their liabilities. We learn they
paid out last week upwards Of fifty
thousand dollars, ard intend to con-
tinue to pay until the last dollar is
gone.
The order of settlement adopted
by the officers Of this bank may not
meet with universal appreciation.
No plan short of immediate redemp-
ton Of all the notes, aud the pay
msnt Of all the debts OF the bank,
would exactly suit every body. 1t
is the opinion Of men however, IN
whose judgment We have great
confidence, that the course pursued
by the Me ssrs. Spence at present is
the only correct one for them to
pursue under existing eircumstan-
ces. What these gentlemen are now
doing to relieve their securities, and
to pay their debts. and the investiga-
lion at Nashville, may cause bright
er day to dawn on the note holders
of this bank.-AWfreesJor0 Nea0s.

the question of slavery, in a cer-
tain manner, which was unfair, de-
ceptive and dealing in dupliciiy.
That submission was thus: "You
may vote for the constitution with
out slavery; but you have to vote
for the constitution at any rate,
which has slavery in it in either
case" Now, hos is 1t here? We

British Agsressions.

Nearly every mail brings US new
tidings of British outrages upon A
mcricaa vessels and the American
flag. 1t seems to be her settled de-
termination to have "row." An
other, another, and acother American
vessel has been fired into or boarded,
until the list runs up to twenty-five
in number. No where on the Gulf
oln our vessels pass in peace and So.
curity without first submitting to
the domineering insolence of pulled
up British officers. There seems to
Lave been left us but one of two al
ternatives- fight or submit in shame
full submissireness to continuation
of these outrages, Diplomacy may
pull and haul the matter about and
settle it amicably; but there is
point of aggression when reached, it
should require no diplomacy to re-
sent; and these recent outrages have
driven us TO this point.
The New Orleans Bee expresses a
good sentiment when it says:
FGGHr AND NEGOTIATE AFTERWARDS.
There seems to be but one decent,
honorable and courageous mode oil
settling this matter, Fight first, and
negotiate afterwards. We are told
that part of the Home Squadron
has been dispatched to the Gulf Of
Mexico, with instructions to protect
our vessels from British insolence.-
This is not enough, and certainly not
specific. The proper mode of pro-
ceeding-and one which would forth.
with bring the question to a direct
and distinct issue would be to In
struct our Navy to capture or sink
the very first British cruiser thai
fires into or boards an American yes
sci. In the meantime, the Secretary
Of State and English Plenipotentia
ry may indulge in as many explanato
ny notes as they find convenient and
agreeable. The only diplomacy worth
using on the occasion is practical
one, and easily understood.

A Sickening Experiment.

In late case of manumission in
Virginia, question was addressed to
Mr.. Giddings, Of Ohio, for informa'
ton as to the best disposition to be
made of the victims of manumission.
Mr.. Giddings recommended a certain
county. The editor of the journal
Of that county, the Celina Standard,
thereopon remarks:
We can inform Mr.. Giddiugs that
no more negroes are wanted in this
county. We have already enough Of
them and to spare, and any attempt to
introduce another batch of worn out
and decrepid slaves among US would
be resisted with force. Why did not

A dispatch from St Louis to the
Louisville papers, says the Leayen-
worth Constitution Was adopted by the
Kansas abolitionists on the 18th inst,
the vote being 5000 for, and 1900
against. The pro,slayery men did
not vote. This is the last constitu-
ton which the abolitionists got up
and submitted to vote Of the peo-
pte without law. As it was adopted
by the abolition portion of the m, by
a less vote than was cast for the Le-
compton constitution, we presume
the anti-Lecomptonites throughout
the country will accept it as their
party shibbpleth. Why should they
not?

THE EXCHANGE BANK.

The Nashville papers have cetain-
ed several publications in reference
to the disappearance Of Sl23, 000I
of State Bouds, alleged to have
been deposited by the Exchange
Bank Of Tennessee at Marlreesboro.
The Free Basking law required a.
deposit of State Bonds before bank
notes to similar amount, less 20
per cent, were issued by the Comp
troller to the bank. The bonds were
TO be deposited, afterwards. With the
State Bank, as u sort of double secu-
rity. Well, the Messrs. Spence
went to bankiDg-deposited State
Bonds, got notes signed by the
Comptroller certifying to the fact,
&c. The public, relying upon the
State Bonds as a guaranty, with 20
per cent more than the notes in cir
cnlatiOn, took The bank notes in good
faith. Now the bonds are missing
they are not with the Comptroller
they are not with The State Bank,
and the bank notes are iD circulation!
The Comptroller, The President Of
the State Bank, and VIM. Spence Of
the Exchange Bank, have all made
explanations, aud leave the matter in
a fog. But the bonds are gone
E$l23, 000--and the notes of the bank
are in circulation. Where are the
Bonds? The State is responsible to
the people for the redemption OF the
notes, and the Comptroller is respon.
sible to the State for the missing
Bonds. If Spence did not deposit
how did be get his bank notes, to pul
in circulation There has bee

COMPLYING WITH AN ANCIENT STAT
UTE.-It is pot universally known
that a law has existed in the State
Of Tennessee since the year 1887,
which prohibits banks aud bankers
from paying out the notes of any
banking institution not located in
this State. Attorney General Sale
has signilied his intention to enforce
this statute, which has long been re-
garled as dead letter upon the
books. Yielding to the provisions
of the act, Mr.. j. B. Kirtlaud, the
we'll known banker of Memphis,
gives notice that be will receive no
more deposits, but will confne him
self to other business than that Of
banking. General Sale deserves the
thanks Of the community for enGorc-
ing this wholesome statute. If some
movement cannot be made to appre-
ciate the value of Tennessee notes,
something should be done to decry
foreign bills, for it is rather mortify.
ing to the State pride of a Tennes-
'seean that, while the notes Of foreign
banks are at par, the holders often
nessee currency are forced to submit
to ruinous discount.
