.... .. Idaho City, May 10Th, 1865.
Last night brilliant light shone in upon
my face as l slept. l awoke, and on going
to the window, / beheld a sight which
pray God / may never again witness. The
city was in flames. All efforts to save it
availed but little, and at least three-fourths
of the main town now lies in ashes. .. .
The distress of the people is very great
Many are utterly ruined, and all have lost
heavily. Our house is OH a hill, opposite
the town, and across the creek so that our
loss is trifing The fire was the
work of incendiaries and the object plum
der. Everything was stolen and carried
off that the villains could get hold of, and
an immenseamountof of property destroyed.
The officers are in pursuit of these iiends
in human form. ......E a..-. ..s....
/ do not think many will suffer for bread,
but if the waters should rise rapidly we
might have famine, as we are entirely
dependent on foreign markets. Flour has
sold nj $50 i'm gold per hundred, but is now
down to $50. .a. ........

good skill and abounded in expressions
Of oontriiion and eonfession--ayering
that during the past Eve years be had
led 4 sober and godly life; believed that
God had pardonsd all bis sins, and he
humbly begged for q restoration Of his
ministerial credentials. After much
animated discussion, il was referred to
committee Of nine.
After the storm passed there was q
IuIl for N few minutes, and the Confer

The anniversary of the Missionary
Society was Announced, 30 be addressed
by DIR. Darbin and DR. Monroe
DR.. Wiley made lucid statement con-
corning the Ladies RepOsitory and the
Book Concern.
Erwin House also gave an account OF
the conducting Of the Western Christian
Adcocate
The roll Of Conference was called for
members Of the Preachers Aid Society,
etc
Succeeding this, Mr.. Hester presented
the report concerning the location of the
new Female College.
Mr.. McIntire presented minority re-
port on the same subject. Both reports
we're received and made the order Of the
day for o'clock.
A paper was introduced providing for
an annual meeting IF ministers from
the four Conferences in Indiana, asd
| such laymen as choose 10 meet with
them. IL eontemplates an organisation
by which the mind Of the whole church
in the State may find utterance on all
great moral, social, and intellectual
questions This, IL 10 thought by some,
Is movement in the right direction, anc
one that may be attended with mos
important and beneficial results A
body Of people, one hundred thousand
strong, has great responsibilities, anC
may have great weight in shaping th'
moral issues of the times.
The report on the state Of the coun
try was also presented.
The fifth resolution was excepted to
1t is as follows:
@Resofred, That while we recognize
that Andrew johnson is President O
the United States, we will, in ever,
laudable way sustain the government
aud also the administration, SO far as
meets the demands Of freedom and JUS
tice, and pray that the ends Of justic
may be met, and the whole country ma
be sustained by her laws administers
to the honor and glory OF God"
Mr.. Sims thought there were too ma
ny ifa and ands in this resolution.
Mr.. Walker was for sustaining th
government. Mr.. W. C. Smith though
there waa no difference between the gov
ernment and the administration, an
be was unwilling to say he would sus
tain Andrew johnson in everything Mi
Julian declared he would not tie himsel
to any administration.
The report was recon mitted with II
structions to report resolution une
quivocaIly sustaining the governmen
