Indiana Conference Proceedings.
THIRD DAY.

OA1.
Rev. E. S. Kemp opened the confer
ence in the usual manner.
The Journal was read and approved.
The Stewards and Lay Delegates are
to be committee on necessitious cases.
The report from the New York Book
concern was read showing its net re-
sources to be $423, 600 The periodicals
have large increase of circulation
Rev. DIR. Harris. the Missionary Sec
rotary for the West, was introduced
The Conference proceeded to ask
"Who are the DeaconsY' Miles Woods
was located. -A
Bishop Ames decided to locate all
Ministers who enter the army in any
other capacity than that of chaplain.
Rev. K. Hargrave was introduced and
made speech offering his Book of Ser
mons to the Brotherhood on liberal terms.
Aaron Wood and others insisted on the
general circulation of the Book for its
merit
Revs. A. J. Clark, E. Hams, Y. B.
Merridith, L. L. Walker, and S. NJ Mat
tiers were elected to Deacon's orders, and
after very feeling and eloquent address
by the Bishop, they were examined pre-
paratory to ordination
Candidates for Elders orders were ex-
amined and elected.
1t is understood that there viii be a
great deal of consolidation of Districts
and Circuits. The Bishop informed us
that there will be six Districts this year
instead of as last Vincennes District
and Bloomington District will be divided
out to other Districts. Hence we will
have only six Presiding Elders.
There is fixed determination on the
part of the Conference to keep the way
open for hearty reception back into
the former places of all those noble men
who have gone into the army in defense
of their country.
Rev. ]. H. Noble offered resolution
which was adopted, that the various pastor
be more regular and punctual in their
4 various efforts to bring up. the benevo-
lent collections in due season, and not
suffer all of them to crowd the last of the
year.
Mr.. c. Smith defended the resolution
with an able speech.
The vote on Lay Representation was
taken, resulting as follows: Whole mum
Der of votes cast rs. For Lay Represen
tation, 10; against Lay Representation
| SO, thus settling that vexed question, and
settling it for some time to come;
and we hope that restless invaders of oul
rights and laws shall cease to annoy the
Church hereafter. Conference adjourned
by time.
Rev. R. L. Cushma preached last nigh
to large audience, and preached very
fine sermon. 1t had good effect

The Lesson OF THE Wharf.-The war
has proved two things: That we have the
hest soldiers and the poorest generals;
have developed the grandest military ge-
MUS of any people on the face of the
earth
IF we win in this struggle, no over
shadowing military reputation viii be
left to rule the nation hereafter. There
will be no jackson or Wellington re-
naming to embody its spirit or WELD its
power in civil affairs. What volunteer
generals might do we cannot guess, as
they are allowed no chance to show
their ability, and will not be. Our
West Point generals are failures, where
they are not worse-India'aapotis Jour
nal.

FUDGE!--" Civis," writing for the
Journal, has been prying into the private
affairs of Hon. John Law by examining
the books at the Recorders Office, ac-
cuses the Judge of making his property
over to his wife to prevent the govern
ment from confscating it, because
well, he dont exactly know, but wants
somebody to tell him. Does CIvis think
the property of democrats should be con-
fiscated ?-EcdnsUiil Gazette
"Civis has not been prying into the
private affairs Of Hon. John Law. On
the contrary the Hon. John Law made
the matter public by placing it on the
Records of the county, and it was CON-
mon talk, weeks before Civis attention
was called to it.
Civis thinks that whether the property Of
democrats should be con6scated or not,
depends more upon circumstances than
otherwise. He thinks if democrat il
loyal to the country his property ought
not to be confscated, but if he is dis
loyal his property ought to be con6scated
In other words he thinks traitor should
be treated as traitor, whatever may b.
his pretensions to Democracy. For in
stance, he thinks the property of JEFF
Davis, ond Of any Of has representative
an Congress, ought to be confscated
Whether the Hon. Judge Laws propert,
ought to be confscated or not, the Hon
Judge knows better than CIvIs.

a Committee for that purpose, we hereby
tender you the thanks of the officers and
men cf the Second Regiment of the First
Brigade Indiana Legion, recently trans
ported on your boat, from this place to
Greensboro, Kentucky, and back, for
your kindness and courtesy in doing ev-
erything possible for our comfort and

make all necessary sacrifices and devote
themselves so entirely to the comfort of
those placed for the time under their
care With our best wishes for your

REBEL MovEMENTs.--The train on the
Louisville and Frankfort Railroad re-
turned from Beard Station this morn
ing, a distance of eighteen miles from
the city. Conductor Jones informs us
that he was told that body of four or
six thousand rebel troops encamped last
night on a stream known as Bull-skin,
ten miles south of Boards.
A reliable gentleman who arrived
from Shelbyville at IL clock last night,
brings intelligence that four or FIVE thou
sand of Kirby Smiths men arrived at
Shelbyville yesterday. The subsequent
movements of these two bodies of troops
are not known to us.
We were reliably informed last even
ing that the force under General Bragg,
in the VICINITY of Bardstown, were pre-
pairing yesterday to move to Springfield,
Washington county, a point southeast
from Bardstown.
The reports that large rebel force
had been massed in the vicinity of Shell
byville or Simpsonville, were no doubt
erroneous, as they had not been confirm
ed at late hour last night
1t is said that rebel pickets to the num-
Der of four or five hundred made their
appearance yesterday in the vicinity of
Middletown, twelve miles from Louis
vile, on the Frankfort turnpike, but they
fed at the appearance of like force of
Federal troops.
Brandenburg is still occupied by a
small rebel force, and Union families in
that vicinity are terribly oppressed.

The speeches made by this individual
in the country places in the Third Dis
trict are infamous in the extreme The
Middletown Journal says that in a speech
at Post Town, he declared that the Pres
ident was a disunionist, said the sun,
moon and stars would turn to gore be-
fore the North could conquer the South. "
and spoke of the army of the Union as
carrying the black flag" The Journal
says:
He exhibited a FIVE dollar gold piece,
and said that when Democrats were in
power that was the currency; but now,
(holdng up some continental bills)
this is the kind, and five hundred of
them will not buy loaf of bread, and,
that in one year man who has a pocket
full of green backs" will not be as rich
as the man who has twenty-five cents in
his pocket to-day.
"He told his friends that Gen. Pope
was Republican, and that he came to
Washington boasting that he saw moth
ing but the hacks of the rebels in his
Southwestern Department.; that as Gen.
Mcclellan was a Democrat the Ad-
ministration took division after division
from him. +"
The truth as to Gen. Pope's politics is
that he is Democrat, and voted for
Douglas. 1t will be observed that Val
landigham, not content with opposition
to the Administration, is laboring to dep
preciate the credit of the Government
The question before the people of the
Third District is, whe Their they will vote
to continue this fragrant scoundrel and
traitor in Congress. His opponent, Gen.
Schenck, is a gentleman and heroic
soldier, patriot and statesman.
