The GreenevfIIe Heroine as the Sun
Painted Her.
Among the priced pictures that cOnsti-
tute our art gallery may now be numbered
an excellent photograph of Mrs. Ann Ward,
the redoubtable female who triumphantly
withstood the long siege of the Greeneville
Temperance crusaders. 1t was presented 10
us by Mr.. G. c. Giers, of this city, who has
supply of the photographs on hand and is
prepared to fill orders. The picture is
copyrighted by Schiller, fortune-seeking
artist OF Knoxville. We confess to having
been peculiarly gFatifed at looking
upon the grim visage of Mrs, Ward. Her
fame is secured for all coming time in the
columns of the UNION AND AMERICAN,
RorneO's graphic letters to the KnOrUitie
Press aud Herald having placed her in the
striking position before tue public mind to
which her strongly marked traits of charac-
ter entitled her. While she was defending
her elected mode of livelihood against the
alta Is of her own sex, she became a sub
iect Of study and reflection to those who
were philosophlcally inclined, and soon
acquired a reputation for extraordinary
energy and courage. During the siege
she more than once proposed to
yield to the crusaders, provided
She could get fair compensation
for that upon which alone she could rely
for the support of her large and helpless
family. Her fair foes would not accede to
her equitable proposition, however, and she
persisted in holding her castle until victory
was won.
Very appropriately, the artist has taken

Conferences Formed.
LOUISVILLE, May lin the General
Conference to-day the Committee ON Books
reported they had considered the proposi-
tiOn OF transferring the property of the
Southwestern Publishing House of 81.
Louis to the Southern Methodist Publish
ing House, and recommended the adoption
of a resolution looking to the transfer of
said property If the necessary arrangements
could be made so as not to injure the pub
fishing interest Of the Church. After con-
siderable discussion tile matter was referred
back to the committee.
The Committee on Boundaries recon-
mended the formation of a German con-
ference in Texas and Louisiana. to be
known as the German Mission Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. 1t
was moved to amend by striking out the
words, '1ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church,
and inserting in their stead ssOf Texas and
louisiana" The amendment was adont-
ed. The report was then adopted.
The committee also recommended the
formation Of new conference, including
Colorado and New Mexico, to be called
the Denver Conference. Adopted.
The committee also recommended the
formation of new conference in Montana.

Bishop Marvin was called upon TO give
the conference some information in regard
to the condition Of the Church in that
Territory. He stated that the Southern
Methodist Church had done more work in
that Territory than any other church, and
had greater prestige. Ii was 700 or 800
miles from the seat of any conference. If
they did not organize a conference he
thought they might as we'll give up the en-
terprise. They should, however, assist
them by sending among them missionaries.
He spoke Of the productiveness of the soil,
which excelled anything he had seen out
side of California If they could send
some representative Inen to the larger
towns he thought they would be well
supported. After some discussion the re-
port was adopted.

THE COTTON CONVENTION.
Will the Nashville exchange send
DeIeSafes.LNew Orleans has Her
S.- .horxf the rovemenf.


Say about the Movement.
The Directors of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange, in view of the convention
soon TO be held in Augusta, have adopted
the following resolutions, which will be OF
interest to the NASHVILLE Cotton Ex-
change:
Whereas. one of the chief objects for the
establishment and maintenance OF a Cot
ton Exchange is to acquire, preserve ana
disseminate information connected with
the cotton trade, and it is desirable in the
promotion of this object that a more en-
lightened and systematic method than al
present in vogue here or elsewhere, should
be adopted, and in the opinion OF this Elk
change any and all Improvements IN the
manner, method and character of the IN
formation obtained for the benefit OF the
cotton trade in general should be made by
and with the advice and consent OF all par
ties interested; therefore be it
Resolved, that we do cordially invite
each and every Cotton Exchange through
out the country, to send representatives 10
the city of Augusta, Ga, on the 3Oth day
of June, 1874, there to meet delegates from
this Exchange, all OF whose business il
shall be to adopt such measures and re-
commentators as to them shall seem best,
for obtaining prompt and thoroughly relia-
BILE information upon all points affecting
cotton interests, which are not now suffi-
GENTLY elucidated, and for the general i'm
provement of the present system of infor-
nation and statistics.
Resolved, thai we recommend each in
stitution to send as representatives, theiI
Superintendent, Chairman of Committee
on Statistics or Information, and member
additional, who shall be chosen for his
capacity and ability, in dealing with the
questions to arise; and that an invitation
be, and hereby is, extended to the com
mercial news departments of the telegraph
companies, to attend in the capacity Of rep
resentatiyes and members of the conven-
ton.
Although it cannot in truth be said that
the NASHVILLE Cotton Exchange" is In
need Of further improvement, like that Of
New Orleans, or capable of being made
more efficient in its working, yet we are
confident that it will be ably represented
in the convention. Nashville handles a
hundred thousand bales per annum, fully
| enough to have thoroughly tested the ex-
eellence of its Exchange" but its superior
| workings would be more extensively, if not
universally, appreciated if they were known
to other cities, as they may become BY
sending duly accredited delegates 10 the
convention. And by all means let the dele
gates be sent. Ii will benefit other cities
and thereby indirectly our own. We sug-
gest that the Superintendent, the Char
man of the Committee on Statistics, and an
additional member be sent.

ALL the streams that can effect us are on
the decline. At TeTene, opposite the
mouth of White river, the fall was five
inches day before yesterday, caused by the
falling of White and Arkansas rivers, there
being but four feet on Rob Roy bar in the
latter stream, The st, Francis is on
a stand, and taken all in all, the situation
is more favorable than for sometime past.
