the rev to the old world. He then stated
why the advantages of cheap transit
on the Mississippi river could not
be fully realized by explaining
the distractions at its mouth, the made
ouscy of water on the bar, etc., and cited
the fact that during the March and april
lust passed, nearly fifty vessels were Obliged
to anchor off the month of the river ana
wait from two to three weeks for the totaiiy
inadequate government dredging roat 20
cut channel through the bar before they
coul reacl the deep water of the river.
Let this obstruction be removed, and tle
Mississippi river will give to the oceans q
tonnage equal to that OF the Whole Woriu
besides. Less than bali the amount CT
money, worse than wasted, ABOUT lhe
amount required to subsidize single Pa
cifc railroad, would give to the MISSISSIPPI
river depth of water sufficient to allow
vessels constructed for the purpose to ssll
from Liverpool to st. Louis. If this were
accomplished wheat could be transported
from the Mississippi Valley to Liverpool at
s cents per bushel cheaper than from The
Baltic, and is cents cheaper than from the
Black Sea. Mr.. Stanard was very atten-

The Plight of New Orleans.
Gen. Bussey, one of the committee from
New Orleans, made some remarks, III
which be briefly sketched the condition or
the South, its inability to do much for it
self, and states that the people OF that Sec
ton of the country expect Congress would
aid them by furnishing means of transpor-
tstion by which commence might be re-
vived and prosperity enhanced. He said
the storebouses of New Orleans are full OF
produce which could not reach the market
because vessels could not cross the bar and
reach the harbor. There was tobacco
enough alone now in New Orleans to load
twenty of the largest vessels, but they could
not come and take it away. Then, on be-
half of the city of New Orleans, ne invited
the members of the Convention to extend
their excursion from Galveston to New Or
leans, accept the hospitalities Of that city,
and visit the Belize, which was accepted
unanimously.
IA. II. Willie, member of Congress at
large from Texas, also formally invited the
Convention to visit Galveston to enjoy the
hospitalities of that city, which also was ac'
cepted aud warmly acknowledged.

Wednesday the 7th was a dull, leaden
day, 8 drizzling rain falling the tirst hall OF

tendance Of visitors vas quite large, and at
night the number Of parsons present Wss
even large.
Dining Thursday and Friday many ad-
ditional articles were placed on exhiDitIon,

nounced much larger than that OF any pre-

Monday a large collection of rare and
valuable plants and flowers were placed ID

PLEASURE AND RELIGION.

Some pous and practical Methodists OF
Eastern Delaware have hit on happy IDEA
Of mixing pleasure, profit and religion. IL
being the custom of the church to hold su-
nual camp meetings, it has occurred 10
many that it would be desirable to hold
them near the sea shore where the pleas
ures of sea bathing could be enjoyed at the
same time, without the restraints OF fash
ion. Accordingly a number OF leaolhg
Methodists a few months since forme d
what they call "Csmp Meeting AssOcla-
tion," and purchased tract Of Ian COL
tanning about $50 acres on which
thew have laid out a town. 1t lies just out
side of Cape Henloppn, on Delaware Ba ,
and is said to be beautifully situated and
easy of access. Here it is proposed to
found a regular Methodist watering place.
Each wear camp meeting will
be held in the grove that frlDges
the upper edge of the shore; Dut OF
course, it will cover bus q very small
porti IN of what is known as the "WaterlnS
season." Although the incorporated eoCy
is called a "Camp Meeting Assoc alton,
the two weeks devoted to religious servl-
ces will be an incident in the summer
existence of the protected village, and
not the whole of it, as the name might
| imply. Carrying out the fundamental
| idea that there should be no extrava-
gsnce connected with the enterprise, the
price Of lots was fixed at $50. ABOUT nve
| hundred lots were sold on this basis, tile
purchasers (some two hundred and nifty ~
number) becoming stockholders, and eacn
one havingsan equal vote in the manage
ment of the corporation. Inc properly
cost $4,000, and $25, 600 was forthwith re.
allied from the sale of lots. The place Il
called Rehoboth, aud bids fair to become 2
very attractive resort for religious peo

In making his will in April, 1865, the
Emperor Napoleon the Third then at the
height of his pride and power, very plainly
recorded the leading ideas that governed
him, not even emitting his superstitioDs.
He said, sit is necessary to consider that
from heaven above those you have loved
regard and protect you" This is the es-
sence of the doctrine Of the Spirituslists.
He adds, "it is the soul of my illustrious
uncle that has always inspired and sus-
tanned IAe." "With regard to my son, let
him keep as talisman the seal wore at
tachei to my watch, and which comes
from NY mother. Let him carefully pre-
serve everything that came to me through
the Emperor, my uncle, and let him be coDs
vinced that my heart and my soul remain
with him." Isn't that about the style OF
will that Andrew jackson Davis would
write?

No Chance of Rescue.
HALIFAX, N. S., May 1S.-An explosion
took place to-day in the Drummond colliery
in Picton County. Dunn, the manager, his
Assistant, Mayer, and party of other man
are in the pit. The slope is on fire and
there is no means of egress from the main.
Great anxiety is felt for the safety of the
men. No further particulars as yet.
LATER.-Forty wcrkmen we're in the
pit when the explosion took place at one
O'Clock. The greatest excitement prevailed
here. The people saw one of those heart
rending scenes which is described by an eye
witness as going beyond all conception, the
recollection of which will never fade from
memory. Mothers, wives, children and
friends crowded around the burning pit,
their heartrending cries being heard from a
long distance. Every effort is being made
to relieve the men, so far without success,
and it is feared they have all persisted. AT
this time @ p. n.y. the fire is still raging.
Assistance has come from Pictou and New
glasgow where excitement prevails and
strenuous exertion is made to subdue the
confagration. This city is greatly excited
over the news of the calamity.
