Northwest Indiana Confer
encc.

This body. which assembled in this city
on Wednesday,. the 59th ultimo. closed its
labors on Monday evening last, after ses-
sion Oi' five davs. The number OF minis
tiers in attendance was about 40. Bishop
.imeS presided. The preachers during
their s0jOurn with Us, were Hospitality en-
tertained by our citizens. Every evening
of the sitting was occupied with apprOpri-
ate exercises in the Church-sermons and
anniversaries. On last Sabbath morning.
Bishop Ames delivered a discourse, which
was what all expected to hear from one Of
the solidest minds in the country--clear
and powerful. At night the pulpit was
filled by the Rev. Mr.. Eddy. the accom-
plished editor of the Northwestern Chris
tian Advocate. AT the same time. all the
churches in the city opened their doors and
received and enjoyed the ministratiOns of
their Methodist bretheren: thus furnishing
pleasing example of Christian fellowship
and unity.
The usual business of the Conference
was transacted. The appointments" will
be seen III auothcr column.
The present status and future prospects
of the Southern missions formed an inter
estIng topic of consideration and discussion
and the body was not afraid to adopt the
following report ION the state of the coun-
try to which we invite the attention of all
considerate minds, as sound in doctrine
and patriotic in spirit:
The Committee on the state of the
country, would respectfully present the
following for your consideration and adop-
! ton:
/. We would reverently and humbly ac-
knowledge our gratitude to Almighty God,
q
and benefits, temporal and spiritual, given
us in the past, and would dcvoatly hope
for continuance or His preserving care
and holy benedIctions.
2. We would recognize the fact of His
reign over the Nations, and His suprema-
cy among the people, as the only ground
ofhope for our country; and to lin we
will prayerfully look for delivorance from
the schemes of wicked and ungodly men,
seeking the subversion ofOur Government
and the destruction of the liberties of the
people.
! 6. That we look to the Congress OF the
United States, the law-making power, as
the chief instrTmentality in the hands of a
kind Providence, for the preservation and
conservation of the unity of our Republic;
and to its measures we give our most hear
ty approval and support.
f. While we are compelled to express a
regret that, as we believe, the policy of the
President tends to embolden the enemies
of the Government, and thereby endangel
and place in jeopardy the lives of the loya
men of the South, and has already, as we
believe, caused the death of many true
brave and Christian Union men, yet we vii
continue to pray that he may be guided
by Divine wisdom, and supported by Di

Il do not fail TO observe the movements

being made to organize q party in tire coun-
try consisting almost exclusively OF those
actually engaged in the late rebellion, and
their allies who sought by other modes to

Addresses Of sseyS. Brakeman
and Gee.

The brave old Methodist Church. that in
the late war wrought so grandiy for the
Union. is not asking to be mustered out OF
service until the fruits of victory are made
secure. On Saturday afternoon and night
the Revs Mr. Brakeman and Mr. Gee talk
ed to our people. Both gentlemen, we be-
lieve. are well known to our citizens. MIR.
B. entered the army in 1861 as chap
lain of a regiment. and has passed much
of his time in the South. 1t il bat Justice
to say that neither of the gentlemen at
tempted anv discussion of the political Is
sues of the dav. but confined themselves to
simple statements of fae's and personal eX-
perienccs. We wish that all our citizens,
and especially our adversaries. could have
listened to the plain, touching narrative of
Mr.. B., of what he saw, heard and suf-
fered We wish time and space served US
to put on record some of the striking Incl
dents related by the speaker. Mr.. b
testifics that at the conclusion of the struG-
|. ole. the South was submissive even to abb
iectness, and that the clergy who had been
foremost in the rebellion were most hum
bic. But the apostacy of the President.
and the withdrawal of the troops, lifted
the hopes of the vanquished and the spirit
of treason. always unchanged, speedily
swelled into insolence and violence. MIR.
b declares that there is no more liber-
ty ofspeech in the South to-day than du-
ring the war; As touching the education
of the freedmen, they first stoutly insisted
that the ''nigger' had no capacity to learn.
! Finding this position untenable and absurd,
they then announced that they would man
age both the moral and intellectual training
OF the blacks Mr.. B thinks the edu-
cational prospects of the colored people
are by no means flattering-many teachers
are being assassinated and the school-hou-
scS burnt with fire. He gave an interesting
accounts of the New Orleans tragedy, hay
ing visited that city soon after its occur
renee, and having conversed with the Rev
Mr.. Jackson, the Methodist minister, who
after surrendering himself, was shot (and
mortally wounded, as we remember while
descending the steps of the Mechanics In
stitute with the flag in his hand.
Mr.. Gee spoke to a crowded courthouse
in the evening. As his field of labor en-
braces middle Tennessee, he has enjoyed
peculiar facilities for studying the antece-
dents of Andrew Johnson, and forming 8
just estimate of his real character. His an
imadversions on that worthy were decided.
ly trenchant and happy. Mr.. Gee salo
they had reason to believe that a massacre
of the Unionists of Nashville had beer
planned by the connivance of Moses" bu
the scheme was foied by the iron nerve o
Brownlow, and the determined pluck and
Formidable numbers of the patriots. Mr.
