A Liberal SUM.--The Ladies of the diff
| ferent religious societies at Augusta, held
Ievees on Thursday and Friday evenings
of last week, realizing the pleasant it'll,
sum of $1,000. The proceeds to go to the
sick and wounded soldiers.
The New Engl nd Annual Methodist
Conference, the business of which closed on
Tuesday, initiated q new policy which it is
thought will be to the advantage of that
religious order. The change relates to the
old itinerant system. which made the stay
of the clergyman with the same society very
briei. and consequently interfered with his
usefulness emong his flock. In some instan-
ces the name of the society was changed by
the conference, so az to aocomodate the
wishes of the parish to the rule Of the church
The Conference was held at Newburyport.--

Mr.. J. G. Cover Not knowing what
the war might develop we have haG our
house enclosed for some lime past with
heavy earthworks, and have felt quite well
secured again all invaders. But alas |!
who can foretell the fortunes Of war; On
Teusday evening last, we were assailed by
an invading host from the Congregational
Church and Congregations, accompanied
by numerous allies, who, finding weak
point in our works scaled them, completely
surprising us. We me. the invaders as
h5st we could under the circumstances.
After warm contest of several hours, the
assailarts retired, leaving rs in possession
Of about sixty dollars in gr, enbacks, green
tea, green apples, and other valuable stores.
We must do the invaders the honor to say
that, considering the fact Of their Captains
absence they did well, nobly. But bis
lieutenant is brave and courageous obi
Ger, and well deserves promotion. May
the captain be preserved from all harm till
he shall return to his command His lieu
tenant will consider that promotion enough.
May the great Commander in Chief ever
have the undivided affections of Captain.

them all ut last to stations where each shall
