They say they have pressed all over and

the Rebels are great riders and go"
for dear life. The money of Cham

This is humiliating enough. And

CHANGE OF MINISTERS Since cur last issue
change mas been made among the preachsrs
OF Easton District ofsome Importance 10 several
/ charges, and differing considerably from the
appointments snnounced at the close of the
Conference. 1t is widely known that there has
been for some time considerable diversity of
sentiment and feeling 10 relation to the contn
uance of the Rev. VIM. Bishop as pastor of th is
charge second year, as is the usual custom of
the Church, and never varied from in this sta.
ton. What gave rise to this diversity of opin.
Ion ls unnecessary to be repeated here. At
the approach of Conference, two papers were
presented to the appointing power. known as
the majority" and minority reports" setting
forth the opinions of the opposing parties in re.
gard TO his return-the former in favor, the lat.
ter against. When the appointments were read

their views of the case in preamble and series
OF resolutions, and appoint a committee to bear
the same to Bishop Morris. The meeting was
according held on Wednesday nigh. last. aud
committee appointed, who proceeded the next
day in quest of the Bishop, who was presiding
over the Newark Conference at Newton, NJ J.
After one or two interviews the Bishop yielded
to their request, and they accordingly brought
the necessary instructions to Presiding Elder
Qulgley to retain Mr.. Bishop at Smyrna, and
make the other necessary changes.
1t is expected that Mr.. Galloway will be cent
to Ches'ertown. (Keat crcuiD and Rev. J. F.
Smith. appointed there, will take the place of
Mr. Galloway, at st. MichaeI's. There was
ne objection on the part of any one to receiving
MIR. Calloway-the question was the removal
or retention of MIR. Bishop, and as the question
has been decided by the hig hest authority, it is
to be hoped that there will be an acquiescence
in that decision, and the Church move On in its
wonted course.
MIR. Bishop will preach next Sunday.

Recruiting stopped.

While the rebel authorities are resorting 10
drafting, imPressment and every other expedi-
sut to fill up their armies, the United States
G0verument is compelled to cry, "hold,
snough" We have already more troops than
are needed, and orders have been issued by the
War Department to discontinue the recruiting
sls,isns that have been established in various
parts of the country. In compliance with these
orders, the Governors are closing up the stations
10 their respective States. AMI sending off the
rsersits already enlisted to their respective re-
giments.
Such a thing as raising an army of six or
seven hundred Thousand men, wholly by volun-
ts,y enlistment, has never before been known
Ia the worlds history. 1t must astonish the
naiionH Of Europe to hear thai all this has been
dsHe within less than year, and that now the
