APPEAL FROM THE EPISCOPAL
BISHOP OF SOUTH CARoLINA.-
following appeal from Bishop Davis
for aid to rebuild the Episcopal
Church in Camden, will recommend
itself to the readers of this journal,
who belong to that communion:
CHARLESTON, December 16, 1867.
To MY BRETHREN AND FRIENDS:
Grace Church, Camden, was burnt
in June last, and we now have no
church to worship in. We had hoped
to rebuild this year; but, from the
calamities of the past season, the con-
gregation is unable to commence the
work without some assistance. I
know your inability to help us with
money, but may I appeal to you for
contributions in materials, bricks,
lumber. lime, nails, states, sashes,
blinds, any amount of either of these
will be thankfully received. I have
no means Of communicating with
you save through the secular press,
which was kindly permitted me to
make this appeal. Communicate
with me in Camden. Yours, in the
faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
THOS. F. DAVIS,
Bishop of the Diocese of S. G..

BUSINESS DECAY IN MEMPHIS. The
Memphis Bulletin laments over the
decay and stagnation of business
everywhere apparent in that place.
It says:
"But few years ago there was not
city from Cairo to New Orleans,
and from the mountains of East Ten
nessee to the Western prairies, that
displayed the hustle and vigor and
indomitable impulse toward advance
ment that Memphis did. Now look
at the contrast. Even Little Rock is
setting US an example. Have we the
spirit to initiate it?''

Soath Oaroiina Conferencs.

I've published. yesterday morning,
the Lat of appointments of the Con-
ference We give below few items
of the closing proceedings of the
body: ~
The Committee on the Religious
Interests OF the Colored People sub
mitted their report:
i. That we will continue to serve
as heretofore the colored people who
have remained under our care, or
who may return to their former
church relations.
2. That, when they so desire, and
the number justify it. we will serve
them separately, in place or time.
3. That, in accordance with the
regulations OF the last General Con-
ference, we will license suitable CO.
lored persons to preach and serve
colored churches, by appointing
preachers, white or cc!c--cd, Sc mag
be judged proper by the appointing
power.
4. That we are ready to render
them any service, even in their new
church relations, which may be de-
sired, and which, may consist with
other claims upon us.
A communication was received
from Committee of the African M.
E. Church in Morganton, requesting
the Conference to supply them with
n pastor the ensuing year. They
were called in, and the Bishop, on
habo1f of Capfaropoa oeerra1 tJ,op,
that an effort would be made to COM
ply with their request. One of the
Committee was recognized by Rev.
j. W. Kelly, as q man whom he had
met in California, digging gold for
his master, and extending his hand
in touching allusion to the scenes of
that distant field, aud the hopes of
the future, made one of the most
impressive speeches of his life.
The Committee on Education sub
mitted their report, which was read
and discussed at some length, and
finally passed without amendment.
Wofford College, under the Presi-
dency of Rev. DR.. Shipp, ought not
to be embarrassed for want of endow-
ment. Spartanburg Female College,
under the Presidency of Rev. A. NJ.
Cummings, d. D., most accom-
plished gentleman and teacher, is on
rising ground. Columbia Female
College is yet used for hotel, and
much os the furniture, scattered
during the raid, has not been reco-
vered. Carolina Female College, j.
E. Blankenship, A. NJ, President, is
reported prosperous at An
sonville, N. G. Davenport Female
College, Lsnoir, N. c., passes into
the hands of Rev. S. Lander, A. NJ,
whose reputation as teacher is not
surpassed by that of any man in this
country. Mecklenburg Female Col
lege, Charlotte, N. c., under the
Presidency of Rev. A. G.. Stacy, a.
NJ, has given signs of the most hope
full promise. which that gentleman
Justly merits. Orangeburg Female
Collegiate Institute, under the Presi-
dency of Rev. w. G.. Connor, A. M,
also bids fair for success, even in
these times of destitution. Rev. II.
M. Mood is in charge of the Charles
ton Collegiate Institute, and realizing
q good measure of success. Cokes-
bury School for boys is rising from
embarrassment, and challenges q
liberal patronage. It is under the
charge of James T. Leslie, A. NJ.

MORE VALUABLE DISCOVERIES
The country near Aiken, s. c., has
been long known as suitable place
to restore the health of those that
were diseased, and the dry, bracing
climate has made it peculiarly popu-
lar among many classes of invalids.
The vicinity is very hilly and pic
turesque, and the water power in the
neighborhood admirably suited to
the erection of manufacturing estab-
lishments, the streams being of o
never-failing character and are at all
seasons free from ice. It has beer
known for some time that stone,
valuable for milling purposes and
equal to the French "Burr stoEe,"
was in the region arc und, and that
porcelain clay of the finest descrip-
ton was to be had in unlimited
amounts, but we are pleased to say
that these are not the ouly natural
products of great value to be found
there, as we learn that a gentleman,
formerly engaged in business in this
city, has been the fortunate Disco
verer of an unlimited deposit of
''ochre," said to be Of the most valu-
able kind known to commerce, for
