Operations in the river are being vigorously

ed in her richest verdure, after the recent
refreshing showers, makes it morta lively
than ever. The sun arose in full efiulgcnce
this morning, and is pouring his genial rays
upon weeping flowers, and they are smiling

their dropping heads and opening their
petals to load the passing breeze with CRATE
full incense of sweetest fragrance. "God
made the Country"-and as highly exalt-
ed as he is above man, so far do the works OF
nature surpass those Of art. Ii you have
never visited Charlottesville and its sur
roundings, you have in reservation great
treat. Thomas Jefferson, who had Travelled
much in his own and foreign lands, and who
was great admirer of nature, said that the
scenery around the University, only lacked
one thing to make it perfect, and that was
lake. Bloomfield is situated five miles from
the University, on one of the many high and
rolling hills that adorn this section, com
handing an extended view OF the Blue
mountains on the west, and OF higher
craggy range on the east, upon one OF which
Monticello is situated. 1t is now in most

cian-frank, manly, and ingenious, both i'll

true delineation of his character, is he not
the very man for the present excited times?
The South must maintain, and bravely de-

should be no temporising, and in Mr.. Wise,

lie is quite remarkable man--no time

of refined manners, and very felctious in
social converse, with lottnesss of SOUL
which towers above, all little tricks, and
contrivances. Let then, his friends, and adj
mirers, stand firmly by him in the Balti

to believe that he will get the nomination

LETTER FROM SAYERs.-Ib tie Editor Of

when it becomes my duty to thank the great
British public for the patronage they have
bestowed upon me. 1t is not for me to pass
any remark on my late struggle, when the
New World was pittcd against the Old, but
one thing | can say III honesty, that | did
my best for the land of my birth and dearest
affections. | had opposed to me one worthy
of me, and whose activity, iapidity and pluck
it was no small task to encounter. Sprung
from our own race, the Americans inherit our
best qualities, and as our conflicts with them
have in the progress Of time ended in peace,
So may every bitterness cngcndcred by the
late struggle for the Championship pass away
forever, Upon my own part, and that OF my
children, humbly offer to you my most
grateful thanks. and | trust, to whatever pc
rod Providence will extend my life, that no
act OF mine, either in private or public life,
will be unworthy OF one who hrs received the

in some spirited and patriotic remarks, and
he introduced to the large audience the ora
tors of the occasion, Hon. Mr.. Maynard, OF

for Wit, happy illustration, and cosent arsu-
mcnt, we have scarcely ever heard Il more

Methodist General Conference.

BurrALo. May 20.-SirteenM D0y.-The
majority Of the committee on slavery cN-
plunged from their report those paragraphs
which reflected on the minority Of the same
committee, and so restored peace and har-
mony.
Bishop Baker read the reply of the bishops
to the question whether more bishops were
required? They declare that they think they
can, if they have health, perform the entire
Episcopal work for the next four years. but
that still they believe that one, or perhaps
two more bishops mi ght be chosen with ad-
vantage.
Mr.. Morgan. of the Michigan conference,
was introduced and exhibited the watch OF
Bishop Ashurv, one hundred years Old, with
the following history: Bishop Asbury dur
ing the revolutionary war was protected lnr
some time in the house of Col. Dorsey, OF
Maryland. and on leaving, exchanged watch
es with him. Col. Dorsey gave the watch to
Daniel ASbury. who afterwards removed to
the State of New York, and the first ScS-
sion of the General Conference was held in
his corn house. Mr.. Asbury proposed to
send it to the General Conference, and, at the
request of his son, directed Mr.. Morgan to
present it to Bishop Morris, us the senior
bishop of the church, to be left by him to his
successor AS senior, 50 as to make it always
the property of the senior bishop.
Bishop Morris said this was the first watch
ever presented to him, (laughtcr) but he
would rather have it than the best railroad
repeater; (holdng it to his ear discover
that its voice is feeble, like my own. It's
ain-spring understand, is broken. lie
expressed his thanks for the relic. When
he departed he would leave it to the next
senior bishop--and that would lie very soon.
The committee on itineracy recommended
the striking out OF the discipline all that re-
fers to the relations Of supernumerary
preachers, except As it is recognized i'll the
restrictive rules. This was adopted.
The committee also report ayai'la the ex-
tension Of time, but propose a change in the
discipline, permitting the bishops to appoint
a man for the third year ut the request OF
the annual conference. This lies over under
the rules.
