phens had consented to resign, so that Mr..
Hunter, as President of the Senate, would
become President. The plan, We hope and
believe, has miscarried. At any rate, the
conspirstors may understand that if they
should succeed, they will have placed
barren sceptre in their grasp, thence to be
wrenched by an unlineal hand, no son of
theirs succeeding.
Robert E. Lee, by and with the consent
Of the army and the people will grasp the
sceptre they may wrench from the hands of
Mr.. Davis, and WELD it for the safety and
security of his country's liberty and indie
pendence. No csbal of whipped seceders
shall capitulate this country into slavery
and crouch at the footstool of Mr.. Lincoln.
The Congress has utterly failed. 1t is
incompetent and is doing much Injury. 1t
has neither capacity nor courage, and is
wanting in frmness and resolution. 1t is
unfit for revolution. The very men who
were the foremost to secede are the first to
surrender. A single head aud single arm
is now needed, and if Congress would con.
snltits patriotism it would intrust all power
with the President and Gen. Lee and go
home. The Virginia State banks can fur
nish one or TWO millions in gold, and this
will secure the supplies now needed. Let
the Legislature promptly act, and turn the
gold over TO Gen. Lee. The Congress if
detunct. The country no longer looks tc
1t for any aid in the struggle. The negroes
have been withheld until it is now nearly
too late. The currency is beyond theil

VARIOUS financial schemes are before the
rebel congress, all of which are denounced
in the Richmond papers as impracticable.
The confederate statesmen find it difficult
task to make something out of nothing.
The Enquirer calls the confederate debt a
humbug and sham, and proposes its "equa-
tion," which is new word for reputation.
1t means that % per cent of the debt ehall
be repudiated, and the remaining per
cent paid in specie, on the ground that
that is the present value of confederate
money. The confederate creditors will
find it difficult to see the force of this logic,
but they had better take two cents on a
dollar now, if they can get it, than wait
for the whole till the independence of the
oonfederacy is established. The Sentipsl
sees no help for the confederate treasury
unless it can be filled by voluntary dona.

THE M. oONFERENOE.

Report of their Committee on tho
Condition OF Church Affairs IN this
State.
To tie Ws,t Vrgiuta Conference of the N.
E. Church: Your committee on the state of
the Church and country, report
That owing to the distracted condition
OF the country there is considerable por-
ton OF the territory embraced within our
conference limits, which at this time is
lmprachcable to occupy as fields of labor
but feel assured in reporting an improve
ment IN the condition of the church, spIri-
tusliy and financially, on what it exhibited
at our last conference.
We are glad to report also, that the eff
forts put forth by the n. E. Church to
wrest this section of our country from the
tide of destruction, the demon rebellion
seemed determined to thrust upon us, are
beginning to be appreciated by the people
OF our State, and they properly regard it
as one of the strong instruments in the
hands of the Lord in securing to us our
comparative happy condition.
| The wicked and unholy rebellion (which
at first gave it's blind deVotees some hopes
of success, but to lead them to more GER
tain destruction), is fast on the wane; and
already the beams of bright and prospe-
rous future are dawning upon us, for we
now stand free people-the shs skies of
slavery are broken and fallen to theground;
and institutions requisite to the happiness
and intelligence of people are springing
up in our Ia DIST, aud out of our seeming
confusion tue Great Head of the Church is
bringing muck good. Therefore
RESOLVED, That we still have uubouuded
faith in the final success of our national
cause, and with it a more prosperous con-
ditiOn of the church militant and the spec.
dy restoration of the gospel to all our PEG
pie.
ReSoLUed That whilst we are battling
with traitorous foe attempting to over
throw and subVert our civil and religious
liberties; like ancient Israel when batting
with the hosts of Amalek, we will assist
with our might in holding up the hands Of
those in authority in our government, uu.
til the foe is vanquished.
Re30LUed, That our warmest RympathieG
are extended to our soldiers in the fieC
and their families at home, and to the
widows, orphans and friends of those whc
sacrificed their lives upon the altar of oul
: country and we feel it is the duty of al
to ameliorate as far as possible, the condi
tons of the families of our soldiers.
ResoLVed, That we deeply sympathize will
? our brave soldiers who have unfortunately
8 fallen in the hands of cruel enemy, anC
, are incarcerated in loathsome prisons with
out efficiency of food to satisfy thu
cravings of nature.
3 ReSolved, That we hail with satisfaction
3 and delight the day approaching when
under our new order of things, with tb,
blessings of kind Providence, genera

TIE debate in the United States Senate
last week upon the question of receiving
and referring the credentials of Mr.. Snow
as Senator from Arkansas was confined
chiefly to Senators Lane and Pomeroy of
Kansas, on one side, and Howard of Mich.
gao, on the other. Mr.. Howard admitted
that the present state government of Ar
kansas iS in loyal hands, but objected to
it's right to exist because the rebellion is
tillunsubdued in that State, and the ma
jority of the people are probably rebels
For these reasons he would deny the sena.
ator elect from that State the cheap cour-
tesy Of receiving and examining his Gre
dentials. This is not principle, but sheer
obstinacy. Arkansas is in precisely the
predicament that Missouri Was in for long
time after the war commenced, and nobody
has ever proposed to exclude her senators
and representatives from Congress In
fact it is clear to all unprecedented men that
the only way in which governments can be
restored in the states recovered from the
Feoels ID through the action OF their loyal
men, in accordance with the presidents
plan. No matter whether they are ma
jority or minority, they are the State,
and have right to it's political control
The faction in the Senate that has set itself
to defeat the presidents policy is erecting
needless obstacles to the restoration of the
Union. They treat the loyal men Of the
South as if they were traitors, and seem
determined to prevent any voluntary res.
toration of the Union. This is the effect
of their course, and if persisted in it will
be likely to breakup the administration
party, and throw the control of affairs into
the hands of reactionary opposition. Ii
is strange they do not fOresee this natural
consequence of their wilfulness.
