ADUEFR9 OF THE BIPnOP,
Dear Bret i ten: Wo hull with leelinrs cf devout
prulitude the .'Jiening ot another session oi the
Ceueriu Couleruuco oi the Methodist Episcopal
Church bouth. Circumntunces ronn 'otod with t.'ie
Into unhappy war havo prcventod ug from an onrlior
meeting; and now that wo are permitted bj
Divine J'rovidenco to a-semble, the important inter
ests that will engace our atw utiou demand tnat
with all sobriety and pray rlu.uess we uddrosi our
selves to their consideration.
We have to review lho operations of tho Church
for eight years, embracing a period during which
Important and startling events have crowded on
each other in rapid succession. When the last
Oeneral (lonleronce closed we anticipated an earlier
rt union in tmscity; but tho woll-knowu condition
ol things at tho time appointed in regular order lor
our meeting precluded our convening here, And
ever since, until wii Inn the last lew months, it has
been deemed impracticable to call the Conference
together.
When It was definitely decided that tho Con
ference could not meet at the prop r time, and plaoo,
there being no law in the discipline aphorizing the
bishops to convene the Genoral Conference aud tho
state ol' tbo country also being such as to render it
doubtlul whether anv c.nmiflorulco number ol the
preachers could bo collocted togetbor lor the purposo
ol holding such a session II called, the bishops, tool
ing the importance ot wise counsel in the emergency,
published a card, inviting a meeting of tho bishops,
Book Committee, ana others, to consult together on
divers important subjects cuuuocted with the imme
diate interests ol the Church.
Huch a meeting was held; first at Atlanta, Ua ;
afterwards at Macon, (in.; and then at Montgomery,
Ala. In August test the liistiops alouo met lor con
sultation at Columbus, ot, These vanoui mjeKuirs
were seasons oi interests and pioUt to those who at
tended litem, aud the results ot our deliberations, as
exhibited in the re-oiutious wlucli we published,
tended greatly, as we have reason to believo, to pro
mote the peace and prosperity ot tho Church.
In order that the character of those meetings may
he cleurly appieciated, wo would remind voti tnat
when they were called it was distinctly stated that
a I the acts of such meetings would be simply advi
sory. We disclaimed all authority to take any
action fiatshouid be biudlntr on tae Church, only
as it mti?bt te approved as wise and eodl . We
rave such advice as we judged best for tne Church
in her straitened circumstances. II' the annual Con
lereneoi approved it, then they acteJ in acoordanoo
with their own convictions; it not, then thoy im-
Sly took their own cjurse in all matters that canto
fore them without reference to our advice It Is
lor the General Conference to docido whottior we
transcended our authority in convening such advi
sory counci s.
Early during the war the Bishops had to confine
their episcopal visitations to he lemtory east ol the
Mississippi river. This we deeply rogrottod, but in
our c rcuinstances it was nnavoidab e. The oonso.
auenoo was that the Conferences west of the Miss a-
sippi wero deprived ol episcopal supervision during
nearly the whole period of the war. We would not.
however, tail to mention, in this conueotion, that
Bishop Kavanatfh, residing as he did within tne
Federal line, was able to visit the Missouri. St.
Louis, and the two Kentucky Conlerences, and was
also able to extend bis visitations to the California
work. The rest ot tne Bishops woro able to extend
their labors to various parts of the work within tho
uonieuerate lines.
Notwithstanding the fact that our Episcopal su
pervision ol the work has been necessarily partial.
we are i; ratified to believe that the preachors have
been faithful generally to the interest of tho Church
ol uod. Willi bnt very lew exceptions, tho Annual
Conferences have been regu arly bold. The 1're-
siuing Elder and l reaction nave niled their bp
pointments as of old; and, with hnmble gratitude to
God. we mention the lact that during the trying
years through which we have pa-sea graolou revi
valsol re igion among our people have attested how
the Divine presence has been with us.
We do not attempt in this brief addreBS to enter
into a detailed account ot the general state oi the
woik, Thank God that we have so safely passed
ihrouch a most painful aud nory ordeal; that the
Church t as preserved undor Ji is blessing he'inte
gi itv : that she has in no wise become comnlicaied
with political affairs; but keeping in view hor own
nip-n mission, has been sausned to perioral tier login
mate duties.
It is proper to state to yon that we found It, in our
Judgment, needful to the interest ot the wore to de
part in some respeots irom tne strict letter oi the
law ol the church in our Episcopal administration.
Extraordinary exigencies required us to take this
responsibility. In the journal! of the annual con
ferences which will come belore you, the particular
instances in which we have judged it best to assume
this grave responsibility will appear. In all such
instances we wish it understood that we do not re
gard such departure from the law as establishing
precedents lor luture guidance, but only illustrating
how extraordinary exigencies may make it necessary
to transcend tne provieions of even the most whole
some human regulations, f rom mis experience,
however, the General Conference may find sugges
tious that are valuab e to guide it in providing as far
as practicable lor contingencies in the future.
It would have been gratilying to us if we had been
able to tear tho expense ol more extensive travel
through the work; but in the impoverished state of
the Church, aud especially in the absence ot any
provision lor more man a pare support oi ine
ttisnops, tins was impossible, iuis laot, wo nope,
will be suggestive to vour body.
In August last we doomed it prudent to issue a
"1'uBtoial Address to the I'reaohers and Members of
the Church." reminding them of their duty asOhris
Han citizens, and giving suoh advica as see mod to
us appropriate to the peculiar circumstances of the
times, as mat aaaresa nas been extensively pub
lished, we deem its formal transmission to you with
this communication unnecessary, and will only ask
your attention to such parts of it as we may tiud it
proper to recapitulate on particular points at this
tune.
I he publishing interests of tbo Church suffered
preatly In consequence of the war. The book con
cern will require your careful consideration, aud
some important changes in your plan of operations
may be needed tor its luture etucienoy. ut this,
however, you will be better prepared to judge when
you have beard the report of the agent. With pleas
ure we have welcomed the revival of our Church
papers, and while we recard them as in a high de
gree creditable to the Church, we would respectfully
submit whether it would not do best to unite conter-
euces in the publication of a fewer number in ordor
that they may be better supporlod and still further
improved.

has beon well nigh .ruined. The Culua mission still
lives, and needs youriosloring earo. Although the
financial condition of the country at present forbids
the expectation ot large collections, yet we may
make prospective arrangements lor doing a groat
work in that extensive neiu.
1 he interest of the colored population should en
gage our serious atton' ion. lioretotore the oolored
people within our bounds have deserved and received
a large share ot our labors. We nave expended our
means aud strength, literally aud patlentlv.lor many
years tor their salvation and improvement, and if in
any wise our conduct has not been appreciated by
some on earth, nevertheless, our witness Is on high
and our reward is in heaven.
It is rrsutul to our own feelings to know that if
the colored people do not remain under our pastoral
care, ibelr departure reflects no discredit upon our

vinced that your body takes the deepest mieitMt in
tins subject, and wli give It your speolal attention,
we deem it only nedlul to speak ol it in this gen
eral and supeetitive lorm; and especial y as tho
Bisnoia in tneir pa-torai auuress last auku-i
brought the subject proiniu ut,y to tho notice of
our peopio.
Jn rcspec to the separate and d'stlnct organlat
t on of ourChttroli, no rca ons h ive appeared to alt T
car views, as expressed in August last. X proposal
ot na'ernal relations has come to us from others.
neitlior do we regoid ourselves as in anywise respon
sible lor hosti ity evinced towards us While tho
attempt to take lorcible possession ot our property,
and to disintegrate our Church, declare the mind
that wonid destroy us, let it be ours to show tne
mind that was in Christ.
In our conscious integrity wo should calmly swait
the inevitable hour when, in tno providence of God
an cuiiKiiioned public opinion win vindicate our
cluitns as a chutcu ol God and a true t pe of Method

before the world. Ti e great future is boforo u , and
tbo great Head ol the Church smi os upon us. Our
llui-iity to od will most pert' ctly reply to the voice
ot delnmat on.
In this connection it Is with p'easnre that we reter
totliet.net that many Christians In tho .North, end
especially in the Jort'' west, sincerely sympa'hlze
win us, and this sympathy, we have reasou to be
lieve, is dui'v assuming a more tangible auu impres

gtiie. A very lew of the whites havo goue irom us.
1 his was. Perhaps, to have beon exoected. Our re
gret is rather lor them than lor ourselves. Hut
w hile we speak oi small detections, wo may retor
also to most gratifying accessions. Too Baltimore
Aunnal Conlerenco Is now represented by a dele
gation In this body. In February last uisnop Early
Ii rmallv rceolved into our ecc:esiaHtical connection
this Conference, consistma oi one hundred and four
ministers, and a membership oi tweivo thousand.
Ills a gratolul duty to, welcome theo bre brm
among os, andtooommend them to the confidence
aud aflectiou of our people. This is a largo accession
to our members and territory. It Is also a testimony
in our Uvor that Is nobly borne by men whose
lormer position and long doliliorutlou upon the
fubtoct. as well as their known intelligence, will en
title it to special rtspect. in our ncarc wo v eicotne
tin m, and cordially extend to them the right hand
ol leiiowsuip.
As a fact of Interest to us and of promlno to our
future influence, we may state that in the city of
Bait more there have been organized soverut n inrisn
uif churches upon an independent basis, composed
of Methodists, whose warm sympathies are wild us,
and whose liberal kindness ha. already contributed
largely to aid us in our time oi need, laying us
under obligations bv tueir love ana good works.
Our educational uiteiest have been itroatiy dam
aged bv the w ar. and nearly all of our malo inatitu
tions have been closed . I'rovidentia ly many ol our
Uma:e institutions havo been kept in operation, and
arn still dispensing tne blessings of sanctilled educa
tion to the daughters ot our laud. Everything in
our power enou d be done to revive, as spoedilv as
possible, the ma e institutions undor the patronage
of our Church.
In this connection we specially bring to your
attention the Importance ot an instrution for tne
proper training ot young preachers, in at we should
make some proper arrangements lor tne more
ihoiongh training ot our young men before ihey
are received into the Conferences and sent torth to
minister in the Church of Christ, appears to us to
be so obvious as to need no argament to prove it
It behooves as to take this matter into serious and
immediate consideration, and secure to the Churcn
the invaluable advantages the provision we suggost
only can supply.
The instruction of the children undor our care
and tho interest of our Sabbath School system can-
riot be too highly appreciated by vou Your body
will, we hope, show your love for these little onos of
Christ and iambs ot nis noes oy toe practical vi ne
oi your aotion in theii behalf. We think it unneces
sary to enlarge on a point of snob obvious and vital
concern to the ctturcu. Eec us rememDor tnat it is
only by taking care oi the children that we can take
care ol the future prosperity of the Church.
Il we aro to Judge Irom the tone of the religious
press, and the action of many ot our conferences,
treat concern Is lelt in respect to certain changes in
our economy. It is obviously unbecoming in us, as
ItishoDs, to occupy any other than an impartial rela
tion to those matters. But we take the occasion to
urge upon you the importance of giving these sub
jects your sober and prayerful consideration.
From our extensive observation of the state and
wants of the Church, we honitate not to say that
some improvement ol our economy may be wisely
undertaken at this time. Well tor us if we oan hao-
pily avoid extremes and do neither too little nor too
much. Let us remember that, whilo innovations are
not necessarily improvements, wisdom may demand
in the department of ecclesiastical expediency new
applications and developments oi luuuamencat prin
mules. '
The efficiency of Methodism finds its first condition
in the prevalence ot oeep spiritual llie: and aera
tions -in our eoonomv are valuable as they coincide
with this condition, calamitous wben they ignore it.
On only one of the points suggested do we regard it
becoming our post ion to speuk directly, and that is
in rispect to the increase ot the number of Bl-hopB.
For (such an increase as will give the Cburou
more efficient eoisoooacy. we think those Is ur
rent necessity, i be iuflimtties of age press heavily
upon some of us and diminith ovr ability to answer
the nemanus ol the work tur goneraiopieoopai visit
ation.
The great and increasing extent ol onr territory
should be considered. We should bv all mians have
a bishop, for obvious reasons, residing on the I'aoitlo
coast. And while we do not recommend a Bishop
lor every State er Conference, we are nwv persuaded
that tbo number ot Bishops should be so increased
as to enable them to be Pastors of the people as well
as Chairmen ol Conferences and Pastors of the
preachers. IT we would carry out the invaluable
p an of our itinerant genoral superintendensy, we
must have an addition of a nuuibor ol vigorous.
active, and pious men to our present College of
BiBnops,
And now. dear brethren, is conclnsion, allow as

junng many others, destroying netrly a whole block

two hundred thousand dot ars, is, beyoud dou'it, tho
result oi tho explosion of nitro-glyoonno, or blasting
oil.
Acoording to Information taken here (in Now
York) the auperinc noent of a .Now York mining
company, whose ofllce was in the building Mo. 2tl
Fiiio street, where also tho office of the Mew York
Mltro-ulyxorine or Blasting Oil Company is situated,
bad sent, some weens ago, to San Jtraiiolsoo, by the
1'acifJo Mail Company, sevoral boxes of nitro-glyco-rine,
weighing about two hun Ired pounds, imported
from the taciory ol Mr. Allied JMobel, ot Hamburg,
Germany.
In was intended to sell this oil to the mining com
panies in Nevada, Idatio, and Colorado, the imuienso
exploding power of the ue v che nicai compound ot
tering groat advantages, not only iu the saving ot
labor of drill holes, but also in freight, because oue
pound ol this blastnw oil does the same des r active
work ai twelve to lil'teen pounds of common blasting
gunpowder.
1 he Herald was the first paper which called the
public attention to this wonderful and dangerous in
vention, on occasion ol the Wyoming liotet (Green
wich street) explosion, which took p ace on the 6th
ol November. 1866. The writer ot tho Htnild article,
giving a chemical analysis ot the compound, ex
posed the great dangers which could, ander "certain
ciicunistances, result from tbe transport and storage
oi tats really 'oeinoniao oil ' " lie pointed out tne
dangers of shipping this "explosive" by the Euro
pean steamers or emigrant vessels, showing that ono
pound, exploding by some unforeseen accident, on
board ol a two thousand ton vessel, would tear tho
vessel to pieces, and tnat if a cargo of fifty or one
hundred ponnds should explode on board, the
greatest ship, with ail ner freight, and hundreds of
living beings would disappear Irom tne surface oi
the ocean, not leaving a wreck to testily to tho de
struction, or a human soul to tell the sal story
lhe blood stirs II we think that the two hundred
pounds sent by the l'acttlo moil steainor had ex
ploded during the sea voyage, tearing to piocea aud
Duivlng in the wavos the seven or eight hundred
passengers on board. And could not the aocident
whioh look place at tbe freight ofllce of Wolls &
Fargo's Company, in San Francisco, without any
apparent cause, have happened quite as well on
board ot tbe steamer whioh carried the mysterious
aud dangerous freight?
Tbe inventor and patentee of the demoniao com
pound, Mr. Alfred Nobel, a Swedish engineer, an
swered our article on the Wyoming Hotel acoident,
in a very good humored letter, stating tbat, accord
ing to numerous experiments he and hundreds of
miners and engineers bad made, bis oil was without
danger ot leif-itnition. and would even not take tire
it in eontact witb a burning match, requiring for
Ignition a special igniter, also tbe invention of the
patentee. But he seemed to ignoro that a
new chemical compouud may bs subject to
quite unioreseen cr.emicai innuencos, under
ahich it mav change its character coin
petelvj influenses ot which scionoe oan
not think or dream of, and which only long years of
experiments can bring to ugnc. it may be decom
posed by a constant contact with the tin cases or
the glass bottles in wutoo it is transported, or by tho
intense beat in a slip's hulk in tropical olimaret; it
may be affected by other chemicals, or clioiiiinil va
pois of goods stored In tbe neighborhood. Even tbe
manufacture of this kind of chemical comnounds is
subject to aocidents and circumstance! quite beyoud
tne control ol the manufacturer.
in the small city of Boctinm, In one of the coal
districts nt Westphalia, Germany, a storekeeoev kept
lor sale to the miners some stock of Nobel's nitro
glycerine One morning a g lner came to bay two
pounas, ana brougut w itn mm a tin can, to carry it,
the glass bottles in which it was sold be na incon
venient lor him. The olerk opened the bottles, and
poured tbe oil into the tin oan; but, lo, in the same
moment it exploded, tearing to pieces the poor
clerk, killing the minor, and destroying the store
The Prussian Government appointed a Commission
to investigate tbe matter, aud it was found tbat the
tin can bad contained turpentine oil, and that tur
pentine oil in oontaot witb nitro-glycerine possibly
would occasion a sadden explosion. Singularly
enough, the accident happened on the same day that
the Wyoming Hotel aocident took place in this city.
Near Glatz, in the Prussian province ot Silesia, a
laborer who was occupied in blasting away some
roots on tne railroad track, came very early in the
morning (January 6, 1866) to bis work. He was to
pour oil in his drill-hole, bat found It bard frozen
over night the oil having the peculiar quality of

Tho oil was in a gutta-percha tlask, and little being

lump it exploded, killing Instantly the poor man.
whose limbs were scattered In fragments, aud found
two mi.es distant troin tbe p ace where tne acoident
happened.
These and many other similar accident whioh
might be atnled, prove tbat Nobel's oil Is really not
quite so innooent as the inventor alleges, but, on tho
contrary, very aangoroas to meooie witn.
We call, tberelore. the attention of tbo competent
authorities to these facts, and hope the law will in
terfere to regulate the transport and storage ol tills
power! ui destructive compound. It would be tbe
surest to adopt simply the Prussian law, rerula'ing
tbe transportation of nitro-glvoenne oil on puolto
roads, because this law is the work ot somo of the
best soientiho authorities of Europe, tbe committee
having been composed of three professors of che
mistry, three directors of insurance companies, and
three ireight superiutemlents of railroads.
Onr busy legislators at Washington, who passed
snmn davs ago a law regulating the transportation
and storage of petroloum, will probably take the
matter in hand without delay ; the more so as it is

the sum of $ l'J9 in United States Currency, the
property of small pox patients In the Military
Hospital at that point, and which he (the sur

securely sealed, was burned by General Spinner,
who, to-day, on his own responsibility, for
warded the same amount in new greenbacks to

Masonic.
The Supreme Council of Freemasons of the
Southern Jurisdiction met again yestertlay at
the Templars' Asylum. Among the visiting Inspector-General.1
were Brothers Head, of New
Hampshire, and Paige of Massachusetts. A long
report of Brother Rockwell, of Georgia, was
read, on the conflicting claims of the two
bodies at the North, each claiming to be the
Supreme Council of that jurisdiction. It was
shrfvvu that under the Constitution of 178C
neither body numbered among its original
number a majority of those previously recog
nized by the Northern Jurisdiction as members
of its Supreme Council, and that consequently
neither one is legitimate.
A reunion of the legitimate thirty-thirds In
each council is recommended as the only way
to heal this difficulty. A magnificent banquet
was given at tbe Metropolitan Hotel, by Martin
Collins, of St. Louis, to all of the thirty-third
degree in the city It was a splendid affair, and
before its close there was a display of Masonic
frieadsblp by brethren from almost every State
in the Union, some of whom were not very long
age opposed to each other in arms.
Ffiect of the Peaeo Proclamation,
Several different and erroneous version of the

"Augusta, Ga., April 16, 1866. Major-denoral

To this the following answer was sent to-day
by direction of the President:
"War Dxparthkht, Washisotok City, April 17,
186d. The President's proclamation does not remove
martial law, or operate in any way upon the Freed

obtained through the medium of civil au hority.
