Correspondence on the American War
Views Of Earl Russell.


HALIFAX. July 19.-The steamship Africa,
from Liverpool on the Sth, via Queenstown on
the 9th, has arrived.
The reported seizure of the pirate Rappahan.
mock at Southampton is false, that vessel being
safely in the dock at Liverpool.
Further correspondence between French and
British Governments on the cessation of the
American War has been published. Lord Rus
sell says the opinion ofthe British Government
is that ships belonging to the Confederate Gov
ernmen and not lawfully transferred to other
owners before the total cessation of hostlitIes,
may be claimed as public property by the
American Government if found on British
territory, and any counter-claim must be de-
cided in the ordinary course of law, by civil
tribunals. In the despatch to the British Min
lister at Washington, Earl Russell says the
enemy's commissioned ships-of-war, cannot,
from risk of capture and condemnation by any
sale or transfer to a neutral.

The Baltimore Conference in virginia.

A meeting of the preachers and members OF
the Baltimore Conference, adhering to the
platform of principles 6spted at session OF
that body at S1aunton, in March 1861, was held
at the Wesleyan Female Institute in Staunton,
on the 29th ultimo. A paper was adopted, from
which we take the following:
'sWe still have the same powers and privi-
liges as a conference that we claimed In our
session in Staunton in 1861 and the obligation
to maintain our identity and to extend our
usefulness in accordance with those principles
there avowed is as binding now as then. We
look forward with great pleasure to the next
session OF Onr conference as period when
brethren in the ministry and laity, long sepa-
rated, shall meet together TO unite their friendly
counsels for the general interests of the Memo
dism throughout our bounds.
"a cordial invitation has been forwaTued us
from the churches in Baltimore, stlll adhering
to us, TO hold the next session OF conference In
that city. We hail this invitation with great
delight, and while we abate not our high es-
teem of the church and people Of Blacksburg
whose kind invitation we accepted last March,
vet, in view of many circumstances bearing
upon tie interests of our general work, it NAV
be deemed most proper by the presiding elders
to whom the conference accorded the power
of that change to indicate Baltimore as our
next conference session; and if so, due notice
will be given. In favor of that change this
meeting would give its most earnest recon.
mendation. 1t is our purpose as preachers and
people, TO be w-abiding-submitting to the
powers that be-labOring TO promote the peace
and prosperity OF the land"

Cool Waterfall this season OF the year q
cool draught of water is luxury which we may
enioy with a little care. BY the following
method, simple and inexpensive, water may
be kept almost as cold as ice. Let the jar,
pitcher or vessel used for water be surnounted
with one or more iolds of coarse cotton, to be-
constantly wet the evaporation OF the water
will carry off the heat from the inside, and re-
duce it to a low temperature. In India and
other tropical countries, where ice cannot be
procured, this expedient is common. Let
every mechanic and labvrer have at the place
of his work two pitchers thus provided, and
with lids or covers. one to contain fresh water
for the evaporation, and he can always have
a supply of cold water in warm weather. Any
person may test this by dipping finger in
water and holding it in the air on q warm day;
after doing this three four times, he will find
his finger uncomfortably cool. This plan will
save bill for ice, besides being more healthfnl.
The Gree use Of ice water often produces de-
rangement of the internal organs, which, We
conceive, is due to a property of the water in.
dependent of its coldness.-Adiae Farmer.
