The Methodist General Conference.

NorE on TIE SLAVERY RULE.-BuFFALo,
MAY 29.-The Conference met at the usual
hour this morning, and Il feeling prevailed
that it having been resolved that no new
Bishops should be created, and the election
of officers having taken place, the slavery
discussion would be quickly brought to close
This has proved to be the case, for soon
after the Conference met, vote on the ques,
ton was called for, and has just been taken
The new rule has failed to obtain IA two-thlrds
vote and is therefore lost. At this moment
considerable excitement prevails, and the
members of the conference are talking IN
groups. The feeling will soon subside how
ever. and regular business be resumed.
My individual impression is that although
the new rule is lost, the new chapter on
slavery, declaratory of the sentiments OF the
Conference, will prevail.
The business of the Conference will now
be rapidly brought to a close.-CoTr Of ~

Stirring News from Europe.

The news by the Quebec and Halifax
steamers, is of the most exciting character.
We have had nothing like it since the stir
ring events in Northern Italy last summer.
The Sclian instruction is in full blast, and
sweeping everything before it, Garibaldl
has not only effected landing, but is NOV
ing on, comet-like, in the flush OF triumph,
towards the city of Palermo, where the inhab-
itants are said to be waiting to receive him,
as their deliverer, with open arms. Panic
has seized upon Naples.
simultaneously with these doings, come
ominouS ports of treaty, offensive and de-
fenslve, between Austria, Naples and Rome;
forward movement of the Papal troops, un-
der General Lamoriciere, towards Piedmont,
new Misunderstanding between Eng land
and France, and last,-but not least
strong symptoms of another demonstration of
Russia upon Turkey
War all over Europe is thus once more I'M
mnent. Scarcely nine months have elapsed
since the Emperors Of France and Austria met
at Villatranca, and mplacently undertook to
settle the Italian question to suit themselves,
consulting no other interests save those OF
| the government at the Tuilleries, and the
government at Vienna. We see now how
summarily the people are unsettling these
government settlements, "and how much
truer friend of the popular cause our late
Staten Island candle maker is likely to be-
come, than Louis Napoleon. If the Emper-
or, on driving Austria out of Italy, had but
insisted upon the King of Naples making
such concessions to his people, as only hui
mainly and decentrespect for the opinions
of the civilized world would seem to de-
mand, this uprising in Sicily, in all human
probability, would never have taken place,
and the 80 pacifcaton of Europe" ostenta,
tiously proclaimed at Villafranca by the two
Sovereigns, would not have been SO abruptly
and contemptuously broken by the noun
taineers of Calabria.
Where, or how, when, this new drama
is to end, it would battle the wisest of US to
venture guess, sand while we are guessing,
it is needless to say, that American and Brit
ish sympathies are running strongl y on the
side of the Sicilian movement-New York

the manufactures there were never so busy

One of VIM. C. Preston's Speeches.

One speech of William G. Preston, beyond
and above everything else, we recollect as
having most fully taken captive our senses
and paralyzcd our reason. 1t was delivered
at the old Log Cabin in Richmond, in 1910,
during the Harrison campaign, and came
near the close of the struggle after such a
succession of brilliant and mpassioned ha-
rangues as perhaps Richmond will never
hear again, from Gov Barbour, Benjamin
Watkins Leigh, George Poindexter. Waddy
Thompson, W. G.. Rives and Hugh 5. Legare.
The cabin was filled to overlooking. The
speech lasted about two hours. 1t first,
there was the frequent and loud applause OF
excited partisans, delighted with the advocate
of their cause. Then the pIaudts were less
frequent. The spell was beginning to work.
The fascination was deepening every mo-
ment. BY and by, men held their breath To
catch every word Of the more than Pythonlc
rage At last their knees began to knock
together, there seemed some impending de-
ISOLATION in the words of the speaker as he
described the future of the country, and the
fire, as it were, visibly descended upon Mar
tin Van Buren,, who was blasted, lnclnerat-
ell by bis imperial Scprn IN the presence OF
the assembled universe Never have we wit
messed such a scene before or since. We
would not care to witness such another
We would not be SO bereft Of our faculties

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AT BALTIMORE
The citizens at Baltimore, and the railroad
companies connecting with that city, are dis
posed to afford every facility for a large at
tendance at the adjourned Convention to
meet on the 18th of June. The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company will afford the
delegates and their friends from the South
west and West the most ample and satisfac-
tory means of getting to Baltimore, at halt
prices, and at the most desirable times, by op-
perfume connections with ether roads; and,
according TO the Baltimore Patriot, every no
tel, boarding house and restaurant is pre-,
pared TO entertain visitors ''at the ordinary
everyday rates in vogue" Trains will also
be run to Washington City at nominal pri-
ces, SO that those who prefer can breakfast,
sup and sleep at the Capital. There is more
danger of too large a representation at Balti-
more than otherwse.-N Y jour. Of Conn.,

MYSTERIOUS Music ON THE GULF SHoRE.-
The mystic music sometimes heard at the
mouth ofthe Pascagoula river, on a still night,
is one Of the wonders of our coast. 1t Is
not confined, however, to the Pascagoula
river but has often been heard at other
places. At the mouth of Bayou Cog del
indie and other inlets opening into the Gulf,
along the coast ofour own country. The Curl
Gus listener, lying idly in his boat, with lift
cd oars, when every other sound IS hushed,
may sometimes hear It's strains coming APP
parently from beneath the water, like the
soft notes Of distant IEolan harps.
We had always supposed that this phe-
nomenon, whatever its orig in might be, ma
tural or supernatural, was peculiar to our
own coast. 1t appears, however, from Sir
Emerson Tenants recent work on Ceylon,
that something very like it is known at Bat
talloa, in that island, and it is attributed to
Il rather less poetical and mysterious origin
that il is peculiar species of shell fish.
They are said to be heard at night, and most
distinctly when the moon is nearest the full.
Sir Emerson also says:
Sounds somewhat similar are heard I'M
der water, ut some places on the western
coast oil India, especially IN the harDor ol
Bombay. At Caldera, in Chill, musical ca
dences are said to issue from the sea near the
landing place. they are described as rising
and falling fully four notes. resembling the
tones of harp-strings, and miugling like
those at Battiolloa, till they produce a musi-
ca accord of great sweetness and deEcacy.-
The animals from whence they proceed have
not been identified at either place, and the
mystery remains unsolyed whether those at
Battiolloa are given forth by fishes or mol
lusks. "-MyJHe HeraM.

GREAT ROBBERY IN BosroN.-On Sunday,
the store of Mr.. Josiah Gooding, No. SO
Washington street, Boston, was broken into
by burglars, and q stock of watches and jewel
ry, valued at S, 900, carried away, the thieves
leaving no clue by which they could be trac-
ed. The burglary was committed about
noon. Among the articles stolen were about
one hundred gold watches, the whole valued
at about s., 900; three diamond pins, worth
500 each from seventy-hve to one hundred
gold vest CHAINS, about the same number Of
ladies' neck chains, the latter very long
two entire trays of ladies' finger rings, one
tray Of gen,lemen's seal rings and varie-
ty of other articles 1t is surmised that
the perpetrators Of this bold and successful
robbery belong to New York. The various
railroad depots leading from Boston in all
directions, were yesterday closely watched
for suspicious persons.

agitation, restore peace to the land, preserve

the South, they have only to vote for John
Bell, and their patriotic hopes and objects
will all be accomplished. THERE'S no chance
on earth for the election Of a Democrat; and
why will you refuse to save the Uni IL, and
protect the South, when you can easily do
both, by voting for Bell and Everett? Talk

fail to rally to the support of the only ticket
that stands the ghost of a chance Of beatin 2

DEMOCRATIC TRouBLEs.-The Democratic
party seems to be in the condition OF the un-
happy man whose shoulders having been
kissed by the devil, were Immediately cursed
with two serpents, who perpetually attempt
ed to attack his brain. Every effort he
made to tear them away only lacerated his
own flesh, and his most fatal enemies were
parts of his own body.
The Democratic party is now in a precise
ly similar condition, from the conduct of two
of its own membership secessionists and
the obstinate adherents to q formal platform.
Every attempt to unite these apparent enc
mics of each other, and real destroyers Of the
last hope of conservative men in the Union,
seems to inhict deadly wounds upon the or
gnnization we wish to preserve. For each
effort serves but to wound and irritate the
iucensed members, whose fury must bring
about the destruction of the body from which
they sprung and whose substance and life
gives them all their power and vitality. 1t
is IL weary aud perplexing task to attempt
to reconcile such enmities or to cure evils SO
anomalous and unnatural.-Rich. Examiner
