CHURCH, SfZTll DAY Wilmington, Tuesday, March 15, 1661 The session, this morning, opened with the usual de votional services, conducted by Rev. J o nn Ruth, Chaplain of the Eastern Penitentiary. The Bishop this morning announced that he had transferred Rev. J. W. Brindle from the Upper lowa Conference to this i 'deference; with whi. h he had formerly been connected. The Committee on the Bible Cause, presented them report, highly approving of all efforts to cir culate the Bible broadcast throughout the land, etc , which -was adopte.d. The Rev J. W. Jackson presented the report, of the Committee on the State of the Country This report contains the foi ow-ng points: ,lle of the Conference is pledged to the Government. a. Expressed its view of the duty of the nation to prosecute the .war till the old ilag waves over ei cry foot of ItE territorial soil. 3. Declares that loyalty to Government is loy alty to the administration of that Government as duly elected under the Constitution, and that is rendering to Caesar things that belong to Ciesar, en i| re ».Pi°mpt and unqualified obedience of all under its authority is to be rendered to the ad ministration, not for .wrath,but lor conscience ease; and that resistance to. it- authcriiv* either dv spt-ech or action, is not only lebeliion and 'reason to tt e civil Government but to God. 4. That while we recognize the rightof citizens to discuss the measures and policy ef the Go vernment, we yet affirm that it is a religious duty not to speak evil of ministers and magistrates, and ibat especially in linns like these, wheu the ut most w>sdom is required in the administration of civil aflairs, the« right of even such discussion is only to be exercised with great caution, prudence and forbearance. 5. That, so far as our influence may extend, we discountenance and condemn the illy-concealed treason of those who. influenced by party spiritj>r sj mpathy with human bondage, find fault with every warlike measure, under the pretext of a discrimination between the constitution as the supreme law of the laud and tne administration Jrv.*k e sovernment as framed by the constitution. They are the s*cret toes ol ’he government, with all the venom but without the manliness of rebels in open arms. 6 That we recognize in American Slavery—so justly cba»acterized by the of our Uhtircli, as contrary to the golden rule of God, on which hang all the law and the prophets and the inalien able rights of mankind, as well as every principle of the revolution—the root and palpable : eof this most wicked rebellion; and that we rejoice that a system so contrary to the letter and spirit of our holy religion, so abhorrent to humanity and to civilization, has, by taking the sword ot resistance, to tie Government, secured t»s own destruction: and that in the eroam ipation polici of the Govern ment we recognize the hand of Him who thns overruling the councils of men, caused a “military necessity 1 * to coincide with ihe prin ciples ot everlasting righteousness in the extirpa tion of slavery,the prolific mother of wicked legi-*- lation in the State and of dissension and bickering in the Church. 7. Compliments the valor and bravery of the de fenders of the Union and Government; thauks the soldiers and sailors for their invaluable services:' sympathizes with the mourners of the lost and wounded ones, and commits their children to the care of the nation. 8. Commends the Christian Commission, the Sanitary Commission and the Freedman's Aid So ciety as worthy of the prayers and generous be nevolence of all Christians. These points wei e taken up seriatim, and were passed unanimously, and upon the adoption of the wholej including the preamble, a count vote was had, which resulted in 171 in favor and none against. Rev. Dr. Sewell, of East Baltimore Conference, and Revs. E. H. Stok&s and R. V. Lawrence, of the New Jersey Conference, were introduced. Rev. R. Coombe, on behalf of the Committee on Temperance, submitted their report, which was adopted. The Committee on Salary of Bishops reported 52,500 as their estimate to be allowed to Bishop k_cott and Bishop Simpson for the coming year Rev. J. R. Bailey was granted a location at" fits own request. The Committee on the Tract Cause presented their report. The interests of the cause are all m a healthy condition, the business of the depository larger than ever, and the salarv of the agent has been paid from the contributions of the friends of the canse, and not one cent of the money raised for tracts has been taken for that purpose. The Committee on Education made their report. It speaks highly of the prosperous condition of the old Dickinson College at Carlisle, extols the faculty, and commends the students for scholar ship and moralty. It closes w’ith the following points: b 1. Commends the cause of education as of high Consideration and value. jZ. Urges the endowment of Dickinson College 3. Pledges the Conference to promote Christian education, by preaching upon the subject Ac 4. Assesses the members of the Church ten cents per member for the cause, and provides for the publishing of the amount assessed to each ch arch This point was objected to on the ground that the people will more readily and freely give than the\ will by taxation. The resolution was finally passed and the remainder of the report was Uni upon the table for the present. The Rev. J. F. Chaplain asked the privilege of withdrawing the bill of “charges made bv him Bgamstthefiev. E.

THE ; GREAT CENTRAL FAIR, FOR THE Sanitary Commission. Philadelphia, 1307 Chestnut Street February 20,1864. • The undersigned, members of the. Executive Committee of the GREAT CENTRAL FAIR for the Sanitary Commit-sion, tog to invite the co-ope ration of ail their fellow-citizens, especially of those resident in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, in this important enterprise. It is proposed to hold the Fair in Philadelphia, in the FIRST WEEK IN JUNE NEXT, and it is con- «.ieiul,y exported that the contributions coming from a popnia ion to benevolent and patriotic as that which inhahite the Central States, and repre senting toe mosMmportant and varied branches of : industry and art, will secure a result in aid of the 1 funds of the Commission, and for the benefit of the Soldier, at least equal to that which has at tended similar undertakings in other cities. It is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym pathy for the solJier. We feel for them all as brethren, and the popular h»a>t seeks only the best mode of manifesting that sympathy in the most efficient mk! practical way. These fairs in other places have been product! ve of great results By this means Chicago hat* recently raised for this object $(50,000, Boston $150,000, and Cincinnati more th. fi S2W-,ouo. We appeal, then, with the greatest confidence to the inhabitants of the Cen tral States, especially to those who constitute the great industrial classes, to send as contribution tb£ productions Of their skill and workmanship. We appeal to them in the interest of no pirty, radical or conservative, Republican or Democratic, Administration or auti- Administration. We know only this, that to send oar national soldiers in the fitrld supplies to supplement those GovermentUn denakes to give them, but which they sometimes fail to receive, and thus to relieve them when sick and in misery, is a work ol Christian charity, and that it is a work of intelligent patriotism also, as economizing their life, health and efficiency, on which, under God, the nation depends in this its time of trouble. We therefore ask every clergyman to announce this humane undertaking to his people, and to ad vise them to do what they can to further it. We ask the press to give it the widest publicity and the most earnest encouragement. We call on every workshop, factory and mill fora specimen of the best thing it can turn out; on every artist, great and email, for one of his creations ; on all loyal women, for the exercise of their taste and indus try; on fanners, for the products of their fields and dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the mart of science, the traveler, can each send something that can at the very least be converted into a blanket that will warm, and may save from death, some one soldier whom government supplies have failed to reach. Every one who can produce any thing that has money value is invited to give a sample of his best work as an offering to the cause of national unity. Every workingman, mechanic or farmer, who can make a pair of shoes or raise a barrel of apples. Is called on to contribute some thing that can be turned into money, and again trom money into the means of economizing the health and the life of our national soldiers. Committees have been appointed id each depart ment of industry ard art. whose business it will be to solicit contributions for the Fair, each in its own special branch. T hese Committees will place themselves in communiaation with those persons who may wish to aid us. In the meantime it la recommended that local committees or associations should be formed in every portion of Pennsylva nia, Delaware and New Jersey, withaYiewoj organizing the industry of their' respective neigh boihoods, so as to secure contributions for the Fair. Committed of Ladies have also been organized to co operate with those of the gentlemen in soli citing contributions. A list of ail these Committees will be shortlj published and distributed. In the meantime those who are disposed to aid ns, or who maj.deslreanv further information on the subject, are requested to address CHARLES J.
