to by Captain Roder in due terms whereupon

and perseverance, all fell to, charging the enc
mics before them, scattering them before the
continuous fire of their arms and teeth, until,
in fact. they could say, as did Cesar, 81 came,
saw, conquered"
About TIVE I've o'clock, the company reformed,
and, after three cheers for their host and for
the Union, returned to their armory.

SECESSION IN THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL

SECESSION IN THE METHODIST EPIsCoPAL
CHuRCH.-The present sessions Of the Balu
more and the East Baltimore Annual Confer.
euces of the Methodist Episcopal Church, now
assembled respectively at Staunton. Virginia,
and Chambersburg, Pennsy lvania, are the most
important ever held. The great question to be
decided is the approval or sapproval Of the
new chapter added to the Discipline of the
Church by the last General Conference, making
non.saveholding q test Of membership. The
feeling in the Church is very high on he sub
ject, and it is expected that the controversy
will result in the division Of the Church, the
membership opposed to the new rule prelerring
a separation rather than to submit to its pro
vison.-BaItimore Exchange.

Prospectus of the National Republican.

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party Of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily press of the
National Metropolis, We have embarked in the
enterprise OF supplying the citizens Of the District
of Columbia with daily publication, under the
title of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN"
In lis political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles OF the Repub-
lichn party, and endeavor to disabuse the public
mind OF groundless plejndices which have been
sngendered against it, by the false accusations
Of its enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration Of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect TO
yield it a cordial, but not II servile support. In
the great issue that is likely 10 be made with his
administration, by the encmies OF the Republican
party, the people of Washington an the District
OF Columbia have more at stake than the peopl.
| OF any other portion Of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lncoln's adninstra-
ton will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity of the Federal Union, against the machin-
atiUns of those who would rend IL under. No
one can doubt upon which side OF this issue the
people of Washington will lie found, when they
come to realize that it Is fairly forced upon them.
We feel confident, therefore, that In yielding to
the administration Of Mr. Lincoln cordial sup
port we shall have the sympathy Of an immense
majority of the people OF this District and vcin
ity.
1t is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican II mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium Of general and local
news, 1t shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions Of local policy, and advo-
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity OF tho city, and to the advance.
ment OF the moral aud material welfare of its
inhabitants.
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper vii. immediately make
its appearance, and will then speak for itself.
1t will be published every morning, and de-
livered to city subscribers at six cents per week.
Mail subscribers, $3.50 year, payable in ad.
vance.
The publication Office Is at the corner of Ind-
ana avenue and Second street.
