PEACHES
Neither 1858 or 1859 were good peach years,
but much tho contrary. After the frost OF

be any peaches in Ohio; in fact nine,tenths of
tho expected crop was destroyed. Notwith-
standing this, there were localities in Ohio, in
which the orchards had a moderate amount Of

this kind of fruit, peaches were brought from
Manchester aud Rockville, adams county,
though neither SO good or SO numerous as the
year before, Some peaches were also brought
from Clcrmont couEty, and some from Warren.
The orchards Of Warren county are very ex-
tenaive, and never have entirely failed, in any

bore well, and one in particular, Of fifteen

M, e. General Conference.

This body disposed of nearly all its bust
ness on the I'd inst. but adjourned until
Monday the 4th, when, upon calling the
roll, no quorum was found to be present,
and the Conference adjourned sine die. The
next General Conference will be held in
Philadelphia, in 1864. The subject of lay
representation in the general and annual
Conferences excited great deal of discus
sion on the concluding days of the session,
but it was disposed OF by the adoption Of
the following resolutions, providing for the
taking OF the vote of all adult male men,
bers OF the church, on the propriety of such
representation. "-
RESOLVED, That the preachers in the various
charges be, and are hereby, required to lay the
subject of lay delegation before the members
of the Quarterly Conference who are in full con-
nection between the years 1860 and 1862, and
the results to be certified to the next succeed
ing Annual Conference with the number voting
for and against it: the voting to be by ballot.
RESOLVED, That the Bishop be instructed to
lay the question in the same form, before the
Annual Conference in 1862, and each Annual
Conference shall furnish the presiding Bishoy
copy of the result, and the Bishops are to re-
port the results to the next General Conference.

Mr.. Rice's Vote ON the Kansas Bill.

Senator RICE, thus far during the session,
has voted with the opponents of the admis-
sion of Z ansas into the Union under the Wy
aLdotte Constitution, which was regularly
framed and approved by very large majcr-
ity of the people of Kansas. DOUGLAS,
PUGH, LATHAM, CRlrTENDEN and other ma
tional men, advocate her admission under
this constitution, as we'll on principles of
Justice as to remove the distracting subject
forever from Congress. But one or two
votes are wanted to carry the bill. We hope
Senator RICE will change his course. In
1858, be favored the admission of Kansas
under the Lecompton bill, with half the pop
ulation the Territory now contains, and with
pro-slavery constitution VIGOROUSLY objec>
tionable to nineteen>twentieths of the people
of the proposed state. He certainly should
be able to vote for the admission of Kansas
at this time, possessing as the territory does,
the requisite population and presenting a
constitution acceptable to the whole people.

headed by E. G. BAILEY.
Addresses were made by Hon. REvERDY

Minnesota, Hon. s. S. Cox of Ohio, and
others. The meeting was very enthusiastic.
Resolutions were adopted, asserting that
the Democracy Of Massachusetts favor
DOUGLAS for the Presidency; endorsing the
Charleston platform and the non-lnter'en-
ton doctrine; declaring that the Massa-
chusetts delegation are bound by every hon.
orah,a consideration to cast their votes at
Baltimore for DOUGLAS; urging harmony to
insure victory, and after abiding to the fact
of DOUGLAS receiving majority of the votes
at Charleston, urged the ignoring of pre-
iudices and unity of action North and South,
and pointed to the past fidelity of the north-
ern Democracy as guarantee for the future.

Fighting the Battle OF the Union in
Every State of the Union.

DOUGLAS and bis friends are fighting the
battle of the Union, in every State of the
Union. In Louisiana, Alabama, South
Carolina and Mississippi, they are contend>
ing with avowed Disunionists; with men who
are bold in their advocacy of dissolution
Of the Union, as remedy for all the politi>
cal evils with which their section is threat
ened by the aggressions of the black Repub-
Leans. This is no holiday battle on the
part of the DOUGLAS men. The best talent
of the south is enlisted on one side or the
other. The contest is sundering party ties
ami disrupting old organizations. Wings,
Democrats and Americans. sinking all minor
differences, are planting themselves upon the
platform OF the Union and Non-Interven-
ton. The Secessionists will be overwhelmed
by this great popular movement, which,
recognizing DOUGLAS as its chosen leader,
will crush out the spirit of disunion in every
State of the south.
While the DOUGLAS men of the South are
contending for the Union, in the North the
Democratic party, upon the platform of Non
Intervention, and with DOUGLAS as its leader,
is engaged in battling Black Republicanism.
This contest also involves the fate of the
Union. Garry out L1NcoLN's "irrepressible
conflict" theory, and the last chapter of our
national history may soon be written. In
the North, the political battle in which the
Democracy is engaged, is equally arduous
with that waged by their brethren in the
South. The Secessionists and Black Re-
publicans, appeal alike to sectional preju>
dices, and rely for success upon engendering
contempt and hatred in one section of the
Union, for our fellow citizens in another.
Give US DOUGLAS as candidate for the
Presidency, and we will carry on this battle
for the Union, in every State of the Union,
to glorious consummation. With him as
our leader, next November will witness the
overwhelming defeat of the Northern and
Southern Disunionists. All true men will
follow the banner of our gallant leader,
which bears upon its folds the same motto
North and South-in Louisiana and Massa-
chussetts-THE UNION AND NoN-INTERvEN-
TON.

The Proposed Sioux Treaty =. The
Milk I'm Mr.. George L. Becker's

A treaty was negotiated some time since,
with the annuity Sioux, by which their
large reservation on the Minnesota river
was coded to the government, with the ex>
ception of nine miles on each side of the
river, which was set apart for the use of the
Indians. Under this treaty, each male over
twenty one years of age, and every head of
a family, was to receive for his or her exclu-
sive benefit, for the period of five years,
eighty acres of this reservation; and at the
termination of the five years, any other ar
rangement was to be made, which would be
mutually satisfactory to the government and
the Indians. We believe this treaty was
nude at Washington in the winter of 1853
'59, and at that time was deemed by the
Indians and the government, in every re-
spect, proper and expedient.
Since then, however, strong efforts have
been brought to bear upon the Indians to in
duce them to seek modification of the treaty,
by the negotiation of certain supplemental
provisions. 1t was represented to them,
that at the expiration Of the five years, they
would be at the mercy of the government;
that their reservation would be again taken
from them, and they would be transferred to
the bleak and barren plains of the far West.
We have reason to believe that officers of
the Indian Department in this State, were
accessory to this scheme, if they did not
actually participate in it. The enormity of
their offence consists in the fact that it is
their duty to impress the Indians with the
honesty and fair dealing of the government;
but instead of doing this, they-the officers
of the government--predicted on the part of
the United States deception and dishonesty
in negotiating with the Indians.
Under these influences, supplemental
treaty was patched up, and we understand
is now pending in Washington. Whether
it has been agreed to by the Indians, or not,
we are in doubt. By some, it is contended
that its enforcement by the government will
lead to hostilities between the Indians and
the whites, and this is very general opin-
ION avith those not pec,tniarly interested in its
ratification. The friends of the treaty assert
it is "just the thing" and it goes to Wash
ington with the reputed assent of the In
dams. By the provisions of this supple"
mental arrangement, the reservation on the
Minnesota is reduced to nine miles on one
side of the river, and the Indians receive
title in perpetuity to it, thus avoiding the
danger of being "moved on" by the govern.
ment, at the termination of the FIVE years.
But in addition, according to the treaty,
the government assumes and agrees to pay,
certain debts due by the Indians to the
traders, amounting to $l03, 900, distributed
as follows: s.s.
