The Baltimore Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, in session on Tuesday, adopt
ed report by a vote of 48 against 10, resolving,
That we owe and pledge exclusive allegiance
to the government of the United States, in war
and in peace, aud to its constitutional admins
tratiOn in every department thereof, and that we
therefore affectlonately exhort our people, who
by position, kindred or interest may have been
tempted to sympathze with those who seek the
overthrow of this government, not to esteem 10y
atty thereto as optional, matter Of taste, sym
pathy or preference, but one Of Divine injunc-
tion and involving the religious duty of prayer
aud effort for the restoration Of our national uni
ty, peace and prosperity, or in the language of
the disciples, 'to use all audable means to en-
join obedience to the powers that be-"
That.w will not receive into the Confefe ence,
or elect to ministerial orders, either from the To-
cal or itinerant, any maR of known disloyaty.
That in view of the great change in the Provi-
dence Of God which is taking place in the public
mind in the direction Of emancipation 10 the State
of Maryland and lsewhere, we believe the time
is not far distant when the Baltimore Conference
will no longer be embarrassed in maintaining
the we'll known principles of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church on the subject.

Stealing Rebel Sugar.

Henry B. fFlescher, hospital steward
of the Seth Indiana volunteers, who re-
mained behind at Chicamauga.to look
afterour wounded, and was captured,
but was afterwards exchanged, furnishes
the Lafayette Journal with the following
incident of prison life in Richmond that
We remember TO have seen no where
else, The prison in which he was con-
fined castle PembertonJ is FIVE stories
highs and 1900 men were confined on
each floor The prison was filthy and
! full of vermin But we will let the
steward tell his own story:
The front partsofthe lower story ofthe
prison was an open porch, while the
back part was used as a store house by
some spectators, and the contents Of
these rooms soon became matter of
speculation with the prisoners.
One nigh t, after a dueamount of re-
eonnoite ring and some light skirmish-
ing with the "soup-train, they COM
menced cutting through the floor, and
after diligent work for three nights,
keeping their work covered with blan-
ket in the day time, they succeeded in
making hole large enough to 'drap" a
man through, and soon had the satisfac-
ton of hearing him report "salt !"
He also discovered that the room
was divided by brick wall,
making it necessary for them to cnt
through i, in order to End what the 9th
,er room eontained>aThis only cost them
two or three hours work, and to their
great satisfaction they found fifteen
! hogsheads of sugar stored in i'll The
work of stealing sugar went for three
nights without any of the guard finding
out what was going on, but on the fourth
night while they were busily engaged
passing up the sugar in their blou ses,
socks, and some in their trowsers, one
of the guards came to the window and
whispered, " Go easy, 'Yanks, the officer
of the guard might hear you; l don't
care how much you steal; it belongs
to some id spectators. The
guard then turned round and passed
the cry-"four o. clock; beat No. g; all's
we'll then turning to the window he
finished the sentence by adding, Sugar
going like hi; give me some sug gar
PYanksn Ina short time the entire guard
wanted sugar, and made so much noise
that it attracted the attention of the Of
fcer, who soon blockaded the sugar traf-
4 fie. The next morning the owners of
the sugar made search through the
prison, but did not succeed in regaining
any of their lost property. aszs
The Richmond Enquirer of that morn
ing gave them cut, by saying that the
yankees confined in Castle Pemberton,
following the natural bent of their -geni-
us, had cut hole through into the store
rooms and stolen therefrom thirty thou
sand and nine hundred dollars worth of
7 sugar.
