third ride Cd the rail brought him to rea-
son, and hs put out the Tag.

LOCAL PREACHERS CoNvENTIoN.-The
eighth annual meeting of the National Associ.
alton OF Local Preachers of the Methodist
Episcopal Church throughout the United States
Will be held in Asbury church, Wilmington
commencing on Saturday, Oct. 7th, and closing
on the following Monday. These preachers
are persons from among the laity licensed bv
the Annual Conferences of the Church to min.
lister to congregations in the absence of regu-
larly-appointed clergymen. They number in
the United States about 5000 preachers and
exhorters, and are represented in this Annual
Convention by from one hundred and fiftv to
Two hundred delegates. Rev. Jas. Riddle. of
" wilmington, is, we believe, the presiding Off
Ger These men are at the head, generally, of
the local offices of the Churches, are earnest
Christians, remarkable for their zeal, and
preach without pecuniary reward. MANY of
them are men of talent and influence. The oh.
lect OF the Association is to unite more closely
Ihe Local Preachers of all sections of the Uni.
'ed States, in order to promote thereby Chris.
ian fellowship, concert of action, &c.
Smyrna times., 1865-09-20

IMPRISONED learn that several negroes
in the neighborhood of Milton, Sussex CO., re-
Gently discharged from the army, have been
arrested and put in limbo by the constables
for having firearms in their possession, contra
ry to the laws of the State, 1t will be remem-
bered that an order was issued by the War
Department last Spring, allowing all soldiers
to retain their muskets or rifles by paying a
small sum out of their salary. Many soldiers
gladly availed themselves of the privilege, hav-
ing become attached to their ''unerring pieces,
These discharged negro soldiers held their guns
under this order of the Government, and exhi-
blted receipts to that effect to the State officers,
The officers, under authority of the State law
prohibiting negroes from owning or possessing
firearms, confscated the guns and arrested the
owners, regardless of their title papers. We
do not known whether the officers acted from
their own promptings or from the suggestions
OF others; whether they acted from duty OF
prejudice, That the negroes have clear right
to the guns, according to the statcment) as
any other soldier is evident; that the officers
could arrest them under the laws of the State
is also evident. 1t is conflict of authority in
which the benefit should be waived in favor of the
discharged soldier, Notwithstanding he is black.
The owners of the guns may have represented
some white men in the army.
