METHODIST CHURCH SoUTH.-The
votes which have been thus far taken
IN the several annual conferences of
the Southern Methodists, indicate the
ratification, by large majority, of
the proposed change of the name of
the Church to Episcopal Methodist
Church, and the proposed introduce
tien of lay representation into the
General Conferences.
FATAL Acc1DENr.-Wc learn that a
Mr.. Emanuel, Of Marion Court
House, whilst returning home from
Charleston, on Friday last, fell from
the platform Of the rear car of the
passenger train, and had his leg so
severely crushed as to necessitate am
putation, from the effects of which
he died on Sunday night.
The EMPRESS CARLoTTA.-The case
Of this interesting lady is said, by the
Paris correspondent of the London
Times, to be somewhat improving.
Her physicians hope that meeting her
husband will sprobably restore her.
The Emperor departure from Mexico
is understood to have been fastened
by her condition.
DISTINGUISHED STRANGERS. At the
Planters Hotel, Augusta, Ga, on
Sunday, We're three young noble
men-one, Baron Machay, from Hol-
land; and Sir Charles Dalyrimple and
Sir David Wedderburn, from Eng
land. They are on tour of observa-
ton in America, and are young men
of culture and fine appearance.

D. S. CURTIS.
r. J. HINTON,
A. j. BENNETT,
W. S. MORSE,

Correspondence is invited, and may
be addressed, r. j. Hinton, Wash
ington, d. @.
The National hateuigence1' is panied
to learn, from many sources of relia-
BILE information, that the above call
looks to the establishment in Wash
lngton, en- pe1manence, of an organ
lied force, to be subject to the orders
of Congress. What they may be-,
and what disastrous calamities i'm
pend over our beloved country, Hea-
ven only knows. But the ferocious
counsels of Butler, Wade, Forney
and others may be carried out by the
''sword smoking with bloody execu-
ton" It is, indeed, a sad looking
forward for patriots from all sections
of the country. God rules over all,
however, and in Him let US trust.
There can be no doubt but that n
revolutionary movement is contem-
plated by the above call. President
johnson, we have no dorbt will be
prepared for any coup d'etat they may
intend; but these continued plots,
now growing bolder every day, bode
no good to the peace and prosperity
OF the country. Their recent victo-
ries seem to have inspired the radi-
calls with new confidence, and it need
not surprise the country, if we are
plunged into civil war, from the in
ordinate desire of the Jacobins to
rule or ruin. The salvation of the
country, under God, must depend on
the wisdom and conservatism of the
American people. If they do not
rouse in time, the United States must
present the most magnificent wreck
of q free Government the world ever
saw. The problem of self-govern-
ment will then be effectually solved,
and the trials Of Republican Govern
mcnt be quenched forever.

The Constitutional Amendment

Netv yoPE October 25-tU the u2orning iotlrn,1s
devote considerable comment on the letter of Secretary
Rrownra making an elaborate argument against the
pendfng constitutional amendment which is accebted
as exnainino the presidents views. The Times re-
marks.
In many rosnprts we apDrehend that the document
will oDerate mischeyousy and that its publication i,

dents nostfon IF it have any significance II is
eonyalpnt to declaration on bis part that nofdjth-
sandiDo the action of congress and the determination

The amendment and lis efforts to prevent its
ton, There would be valid cause of regret ir The
mere nooladra of the circumstance that tIe att,,d
and aims Of fin, prcsjdent have UNDERGONE no chance
If were bad enough to know that the irresistible eur
rent Of northern oDin0n in favor of the amendment
had neither convinced him Of its necessitv nor tqbt
him the utility of further resistance to it. But the
latter becomes grievous error when il is considered
as causeess gratuitous expression of opinion bs the
executive on grave question Of policy at a time and
in form which can only Serve to aggraVate existing
difficulties and intensity the bitterness which unaspv
characterises their discussion. 1t cannot have been
requisite to make known the views entertained by tie
president touching the amendment for these were
long ago communicated to congress- together wtg the
reasoning upon which they are based Nor has tught
occurred that could afford preext for the revival Of
an opposition which recent events have shown 20 be
boGtless. The presidents experience Of speech nak-
ing should have satisfied him Of the utlity Of liz en-
dcavors to stem the popular current and win the con
trolling elements to his side.

pro Mise The more iudcions friends of thc president
did hone that the verdict of the DeonIc as heard IN
the recent elections wonId induce him to reconsider
his decision and to recommend the amendmenr fer the
friendly consideration Of the southern States syhen
the emptiness OF these expectations became applrent
