Editors of the Baltimore Exchange:
Those of the preachers who are not expecting
change this year endure the iatgues of the session
very patiently, with good food and shelter, and
quite content to continue and enjoy the relations
of the occasion; while those who are anticipating
new appointment are beginning to exhibit signs of
uneasiness. 1t is sufficient to make man feel ner-
vous in view of such change, when his material
support the social comforts of his family his pros
poets of usefulness and happiness are so largely in
volved in the decision of one man. Not only the
hearts of men, but the hearts of gentle, refined
women good and loyal to tie cause OF Methodist
itnerancy, are beating with intense solicitude to
know what is to be their destiny, their home for
the next twelve months.
A very animated discussion is now pending in
reference to the seat Of the next annual Conference
Carlisle, Chambersburg, Exeter Street, Baltimore;
Danville, East Baltimore and Lewisburg, Pa,
are in nomination. Mr.. kepler also nominated
Williamsport, and said the people here much
gratted that they would most cordially welcome
the Conference again. Objection made to the
mul-the reply was that it good mud
could be found anywhere. The claims of the diff
ferent stations urged with great enthusiasm and
spirit. The fight is fierce but good humored. The
witicisms of Messrs. Anderson, Slicer and others
of laughter in the thronged assemblage.
Mr.. Il. Mitchell has urged the request of Lewisburg
successfully and it is selected by an almost unani-
nous vote disposition felt to go to Carlisle,
but as the citizens of isburg applied last year
it was deemed they had the first right, and, no
doubt, they will be highly grated that their beau
tiful town has been selected.
A feeling of gloom has suddenly spread over the
community in consequence of the death of Rev.
Jacob McEnnally, one of the most aged members of
this body. He came to the seat of Conference and
seemed to be in his usual health feeble at best, and
died suddenly yesterday. His remains were re-
moved this morning to Muncy, his residence for
some years past, for nterment. The church has
lost a man whose quiet and unobtrusive labors and
pety have done much to cherish and promote vital
religion wherever he has lived and labored.
The resolutions from the Cincinnati Conference
proposing so to alter the discipline as to make non
8lareholding test of membership in the NJ +.
Church, were unanimously concmred in. The
loyalty of some of the ministers in the East Baltimore
Conference, who had labored exclusively in the
Penns yvania work, has been questioned in some
quarters to the Platform of the old Baltimore Con-
ference upon this vexed question. and it will be
gratifying to all the true friends of unity and order
in the church to know that among them there is
not the least disafection difference of opinion
The Preachers Aid meeting came off last evening
with decided success. Appropriate addresses were
delivered by j. w. Randolph and j. NJ. Lester,
Esqrs., and by Rev. Mr.. Bartine, Of Harrisburg.
A Preachers love-feast was held this morning at
G o'clock. The occasion regarded as OF
great spiritual profit
The resolutions of the Oregon Conference gave
rise to-day to spirited and protracted debate, and
were voted down. Yours, &C.,
TAcrUs
