The WHITES AND BLACKS oP VIRGINIA.
The folio owing resolutions adopted by an An
nual Conference of Methodist preachers, will
astonish our Massachusetts, friends:
Whereas, the white citizens Of Danyille
have shown such friendly feelings towards
the Annual Conference during its session in
contributing their means, also in having
made provision for boarding large number
of its members, and whereas, such an eXnl-
bition of Christian kindness is q true indi-
cation that they rejoice in our welfare, tenn
poral and spiritual, and whereas, such
treatment can but convince US that there is
to be found q strong feeling of sympathy
among those with whom we have lived and
expect to die be it therefore,
Resolved, That if our expression were
equal to our scnsibilities, We would in more
elegant language than we are muster OF de-
clare the sense CT our obligations that we
feel to be under towards the whites Of Dan
vile.
Resolved, That such treatment will not be
forgotten, but always, with warm hearts and
fond recollection, will be kept, especially
when pleading ut the throne Of Heavenly
Grace-praying God to bless them and
theirs at all times and under all circum
stances.
Resolved, We also pray when He who
| may be termed the Ancient of Days, shat
come in the clouds of Heaven with his holy
angels to gather his jewels, they too may be
numbered among them, and be placed in the
repository of precious things.
The above were offered by Rev. W. B.

Nor New SUBJECT OF CoXPLAIST.-A
gentleman of this city has handed to us q
copy of the Salem Register Of the 18th of
February, in which we find a Richmond
letter dated February 18th, and in that letter
the following:
"Freights are higher from Richmond to
many portions Of the State than from other
cities, while the want Of unity Of action
among the different freight lines prevent the
rapid and certain transit Of goods from here
to distant parts. II / want to send package
of perishabie goods by express from here to
Salem, have no guarantee that it viii reach
there fit for use; nor can | prepay the charges
on it. Was ever such q tom.foolery sub.
mitted to before Why, Mr.. Editor, went
barefoot for several days because l had to
wait until could 60 or send to Petersburg
for pair Of boots sent by express from your
town"
We suppose that General MAHoSa's express
c'Diigence, quotha?") has done Richmend
more harm than our citizens dream OF.
