S0Utherncrs abandoning VIRGINIA.

The letter published yesterday, from Young
gentleman of the University, states that in
the event of Virginia adhering to the North
our noble University, which has derived so
much of its patronage from the South, will be
abandoned by Southern students. 1t is well
known that, for several years the combined
efforts of gentlemen in Louisiana, Georgia,
South Carolina, Arkansas, &c, have been de-
voted to the establishment of grand Southern
University, richly endowed, and intended to
take rank with the great continen tai Univer-
sites. This institution will soon go into ONE
ration, and would, under any circumst ances,
prove formidable rival to the University of
Virginia. In such a crisis the present, we
shall not be surprised, in the event of Virgin
las adhesion to the North, to see it flourish
upon the ruins OF our own popular school
In fact, there is nointerest of Virginia which
will not suffer by stupid adhesion to the
Northern Confederacy. All the manufactur-
ing we now do is for 4 Southern market
The North buys nothing of the South that it
can produce itself We are entirely depend
ant upon the South for the support of our
manufacturing industry, and, at this MON ent
the only employment our Richmond artisans
receive is from the Confederate States So
too, i'll summer, our watering places are prin-
cipally supported by gentlemen from the
South Northern visitors rarely come to
Southern springs, and, but for the support
they have from Southern gentlemen they
would be comparative solitudes. We fear
that there will be great falling off hereafter
in these annual re- unions of the Southern
people, which have proved so agreeable TO Vir-
ginians, and profitable 10 various localities in
Western Virginia.

The Baltimore Animal Conference.

We have given our readers the interesting
proceedings and the important conclusions of
the baltimore Annual Conference, which has
lately terminated its session in Stauntun.
That Conference has formally severed IFS con-
nection with tho Methodist Episcopal Church
North, and taken separate and independent
position. The vote for immediate separation
was 81, aga inst ii besides SO who did not vote,
but were understood 20 be opposed. This i'm
portant ecclesiastical secession has its origin
in the action of the General Con ference, hich,
AZ its last session, interpolated an auti-slayery
clause into the Discipline. There was no diff
ference of opinion in the Conference ut Staun-
ION in regard TO the obnoxious nature of this
clause; but only to whether it was advisory
or mandatory. Nearly two-tbirds of the dell
gates present held that it was mandatory. MI
were for its immediate reputation. Ana,
after the vote had been taken. many of the
dissentients frankly gave in their adhesion to
course which is heartily sustained not only
by the Lay Convention of the same Church
lately held in Stanton, but by the public
sentiment of the whole State.
In the course of the debates one of the
speakers referred TO the conscientious hostility
TO slavery which is becoming almost uniyQr-
sal at the North, and the public sentiment in
its favor which is equally universal in the
South. The rupture of national ecclesiastical
associations Is the most significant evidence
yet given, except the late formal secession of
the outhern States, that we are two peoples
The bond of religious unity is stronger than
any of party or politics, and when that gives
way before Sectional influences no other tie
can hold us together
