The Conference of the Primitive
Methodist Connection, in Session at
Albion, Dane Co., Wis, in May,
1868, Passed the Following Pream-
bles and Resolution.

WHEREAS, The Bible teaches that
"the powers that be are ordained Of God,
we are therefore justified in affirming
that civil government, whose laws do
not conflict with the laws Of God, are right
and good.
IVhereas, That through the institu-
ton of such government, many priyil-
eyes and benefits are secured to all peace
able and law abiding citizens, we ought
therefore with the greatest cheerfulness
to render to them what is their due, viz.
fear, honor, obedience, for they are God $
ministers, designed to look after the
interests Of the whole community.
Whereas, In times Of prosperity and
general tranquility, we profess our at
tachment for, and determination to sus-
tain such government, it follows, that if
a reverse should take place in the his
tory Of the nation, as in case of an in
vasion from foreign foe, or an uprising
of a wicked rebellion in any part of the
land, against the lawfully constituted
authorities thereof, it becomes the duty
of the people to sustain Internationally
those authorities in their efforts to expel
the invasion, or overturn the rebellion,
as the case may be, for, che (the civil
authorities,) bcareth not the sword in
vain: he is a revenger to execute wrath
upon him that doth evil
Whereas, There exists in certain parts
of our country, at the present time, a
most unjusti6ablc, and wicked rebellion,
which has involved us as a nation, in a
most terrible and sanguinary civil war
Therefore, Resoz0cd, That we, (the
Primitive Methodist Connections as a
branch of the Church Of Jesus Christ,
will stand by, and support our Govern
ment; and we pray that God viii bless
the President, and all our rulers; also,
our soldiers and sailors.

Three Weeks in the South.

Mr.. Richard F. Colburn, cores
pendent Of the New York World, who
was captured some time ago, with other
correspondents, at Vicksburg, has ar
rived in Washington, and published his
experience of three weeks among the
rebels. We make a brief extract.
The conclusion formed in three weeks

eracy, trip almost across It's entire ex-
tent by a circuitous rout that lea almost

1st The people are brave, determin-
ed, and in tie main united.

3d. Although they can never probab-
" have their armies again at as high a
number as now, and the material for con-
scription almost exhausted, yet as the
war has been conducted thus far, their
military resources are sufficient to keep
up the struggle for two years more.
4th. Their strength is thrown entire
ly to frontiers, and if that frontier line
were once pierced-if our generals be-
gin to do their duty, the whole fabric Of
rebellion will go topping down like a
house built of cards.
5th Union and perseverance is the
North are what the rebels most dread
Their greatest hope lies in our division.

rived from the conduct of such men as

a INTERESTINGLY FARMERs.--W We learn
that great labor saving machine is
about to be introduced to the farmers OF
this section, called Sherwood's Patent
improved Grain Binder, constructed SO
as to attach to the platform of reaper
and one man, riding on the reaper, will
bind with it as fast as the reaper cuts
the grain, before the grain leaves the
platform, thereby preventing waist OF
grain by scattering, or getting too dry,
or too wet, in delay Of binding by hand,
If such a machine is to be furnished to
the farmers, it will be great benefit,
these war times, when there is such a
scarcity of help, and grain wasted for
want Of harvesting In season,
This machine binds with No 20wire,
which runs off reel. The wire is fur
nished at low price, supposed to cost
about 80 cents per acre, which amount
will probably be saved by less Smelling
and scattering then with straw bands
The wire binds tighter than straw, max
ing better bundles to handle. At
threshing there is no inconvenience in
unbinding; it is done by placing the
hand under the band, giving a jerk,
when it untwists, Should itgo through
the machine, it does no harm.
