WII.MIMiTON, March 18,;--The second ses-
Mon of „ Wilmington Conference Of, die. M. E.
;Church commenced at Port Deposit on Wed
nesday. No business of public importance has
yet been transacted. Bishop Janes presides,
over its deliberations.
St. Patrick's day was not much observed
here. In the evening, hOwever, Bishop Becker
delivered a lecture on the "(Ecumenical Conn
cil,” in St. Mary's Church. He alluded to the.
Infallibility Dogma," and said the Pope was
only infallible while engaged in teaching the
whole Church, from winch it is to be inferred
that his sympathies are not entirely with the
extreme ultramontane party..
The German Theatrical Company, recently
burned out in Philadelphia, are to give a per
formance here to-morrow evening.
The Diamond State Iron Company, recently
compelled to stop work on account of an acci
dent to their principal engine, have resumed
operations.
Since the opening of the new railroad, there
has been considerable talk about widening
Water street, through which the tracks of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail
road run. The double track of the last named
company seems inadequate to accommodate
the rapidly increasing traffic of the new road,
and both companies are anxious for better ac
commodations.
Both, the companies running steamboats be- •
tween this city and Philadelphia are ,making
preparations for an active summer campaign,
and cheap fares are likely to be in vogue on
.the'river for another year. The opposition line
manifests a surprising amount of pluck and
determination, for it is generally understood
that they have as yet made nothing by the
operation.
Tlie .new line of steam propellers just es
.tablished between here and New York is
already doing a large amount of business, and
its proprietors hope soon to change it from a
tri-weekly to a daily line.
The'Board of Trade has been discussing a
project for a grand exlfibition of Wilmington's
manufactures, from steamships to matches, but
were brought to a sudden stop by the :inquiry,
" Where will you lodge the people who come
to it ?° This has revived the hotel excitement,
and as so many of our prominent. merchants
have refused to build a hotel in which liquor
will be sold, an effort is now making to secure
subscriptions to build one from which liquor
_will be excluded.
CITY BULLETIN.
—The power-loom bosses, beamers and
twisters held a meeting last evening at Front
and Master streets, to resist a proposed reduc
tion of 12-1, per cent. on their wages.
—The iron steam collier Achilles, con—
structed at Chester, is now completed and
ready for service. She is one thousand tons
burden. She is intended 'for carrying coal.
• —The journeymen house carpenters held a
meeting last evening at Dater Hall, and adopted
a resolution .declaring " that under existing
circumstances we deem it within the bounds of
propriety and expect the wages to be at least
$3 per day for good hands the ensuing season."
—George W. Pennington was arraigned be
fore Alderman Kerr, yesterday afternoon, at
the Central Station, on the charge of stealing
$1 '5O from John Breigel, who boards in the
same house with him, at No. 1924 North
Tenth street. The missing cash was found
on his person, and he admitted his guilt.
He was held in five hundred dollars bail to an
swer at court. .
—Four lade, whose ages range between thir
teen and fourteen years, were arrested yester
day for stealing goods from show-cases on
South. Fourth street. There was no direct
testimony against them, but when before Al
derman Kerr they accused each other of per
petrating numerous thefts, showing them capa
ble of doing much mischief. The Alderman
held them to bail.
—Faustian Gabrylwitz was arrested yester
day by Recorder Givin's detective police, on
a warrant issued by the Recorder, in response
to a requisition of Governor Geary from the
Governor of Delaware. He was charged with
obtaining money by false pretences; the alle
gation is that he sold paintings representing
them as pictures painted by Hamilton. He
was delivered into the hands of the Sheriff of
New Castle, Delaware.
—Patrick Burke was charged at the• Central
Station, yesterday, with being one of the per
sons who recently assaulted Sergeant Lynch,
beating and wounding him severely. Com
plainant testified that on the night of the 13th
of February, himself, Lieutenant Gercke, and a
man named Lovett, went to Alaska street to
watch a suspected party, and while there were
,attached by a crowd, and himself beaten and
stabbed, his injuries being such as to confine
him a couple of weeks at the Hospital. The
accused, he said, was one of the attacking party,
and repreSented himself to be a constable. He
,was held in $l,OOO bail.
CAMDEN GOSSIP.
—Notwithstanding the great hue and cry set
up by the Democracy against the right of the
colored man to Tote, the Camden Democrat
establishment finds it necessary to employ the
strength of one to run its new printing press.
lie furnishes the power.
—Camden is now pretty well filled with
vagrants, some of whom are impudent and
bold. One individual was arrested last night
and locked up. Thls'morning the Mayor dis
charged him on condition that he would leave
the city at once;•or he would be recommitted
under the vagrant act. lie left.
—Revs. Messrs. Whitecar, Chalker and
Dickman will preach their farewell sermons to
their respective Camden congregations to
morrow. They have remained three years,
the longest period the rules of the Methodist
Church permit.
—Mayor Cox, this morning, admitted Amon
Fowler to bail ; the children of Mrs. Cox,whom
it is alleged he bad given psisoned candy to,
having
. sufficiently recovered to warrant the •
Mayor in doing so. The matter is to be thor
oughly investigated. Large quantities of brass
filings and shavings were found in the molasses
candy; by analyzing it, yesterday. It is thought
that, had the children eaten all that was given
them, they would have died.
—For a few days past a man has been in
the Camden Station-house in an advanced con
dition of viarria-d-potu. Ills case is one of
commiseration ' and the picture he presents is
one of the most frightful character: s ' He is a
a whole temperance lecture within himself,and
its teachings ought to be an impressive warn
ing to all.
The Proposed Pairfition of Tonal's.
Texas, in area merely, is the largest State in.
the Union. It covers 237,504 square miles, or
152,002,500 acres, which makes it nearly three
times as large as all the New England; States
combined. This vast area is sparsely popu-.
hated. The decennial census of 1800 showed
a representative population of 529,972, enti
tling the Stare to four members . of Congress.
The increase in population from 1850 to 1860
was nearly 153 per cent. Undoubtedly the
census of this year will show a far greater per
centage of increase, because Texas suffered less
than any other State from ,the rebellion ; large
numbers of negroes were sentt-ere h for safety,
from other Southern States, and most of these
negroes have staid there; and since the close
of the war the immigration, espeeially of
,"swedes and Germans, Las been. very great,
THE 'DAI.I.;ICikAt'N.INt-: BULLETIN -PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 19,1870.
_ ,
Mr, Howard, of Michigan, intretliteed
bill into the Senate • which, proposes e partoQo
of Texas into three natural divisions ; the
region east of the San Jacinto river, which con
tained, in 1860, %280,000 inhabitants; .teecinti,
the region between the Stin Jacinto and Colo
rado rivers,which contained, in the last census,
230,000 inhabitants; a third, the country west
of the Colorado,which contained,. in the last
census, about 15,000 inhabitants. The bill
proposes to call the central part, between the
San Jacinto and the Colorado, the State of
Tex" while the extern portion is to be, for
the present, the Territory of Jefferson; and the
country west of the Colorado is to be the Ter- ,
ritory of Matagorda.
The Heidelberg Ton.
'Correspondence of the San Francisco Bulletin.]
The famous tun of Heidelberg is in a vaulted
'cellar of the castle. I was misled by the name,
and supposed it was.a sort of vat, but it is a
regular hogshead, containing 49,000 gallons.
The staves are each massive sticks of timber.
The hoops are immense bands of oak, six
inches thick, and a foot across. It is sup
ported by a huge frame-work of oak. There
is:a staircase leading up the side to a gallery on
the summit, along which people used to pass
with the wine, which was poured in at the
top.. How the huge thing was ever built, put
up and banded, I can not conceive... The tra
dition is that it was built by a prince, who re
ceived a part of his taxes in wine, and paid his
servants and officers part of their wages in
wine, and.that a complaint grew up . that 'the
wine }said was tinegnal in onality, this
buge nin was devised, inte Which all the wine
received was poured.as it came in, and from
which all the. wine paid out or ; used was
drawn,., of a uniform qUality.
But, as I stood below thp Great Tun . and
looked up twenty feet to the top, it began to
grow upon me. Forty-nine thousand gallons!
I said to myself.. That is one thousand hogs
heads (I am tolerably apt at mental arithme
tic), or fifteen hundred barrels. Forty-nine
thousand gallons ! Why, at a gallon a day,and
I did not think I would master 'more than that,
it would take at least one hundred and thirty
years to drink that hogshead dry. I did not
feel that I could stop to do it. In fact, I hall
other engagements. elsewhere. But a ray of
hope struck me.. I said to the little girl who
accompanied me as a guide: "That is a
quantity of witie. Do you think the tun is
quite full ?" -. Why, Lord bless your High-and-
Well-born-Worship," said she (I had justgiven
her a double handful of kreutzers), "why,
Lord bless your High-and-Well-born-Worship,
the tun has only been filled three times, and
loot time Was-morel . 11n n 1 - nantlrpt]_;t:
ago. There's not a drop-of wine in it!"

THE PHEINIERVATION T AW. TEM BIBLE.
BY AI,NNIIN NEVIN, D. D.
Read and revere the Sacred page ; a page
Which not the whole creation could produce;
Which not the conflagration shall destroy_
In Nature's ruins not one, letter lost."
With what wonder should we gaze upon a
fortress that had withstood the assaults of suc
ceeding generations for thousandi of years !
And with what strange interest should we look
.at a marl who, during a life of many centuries,
had.ofteii been cast irito the sea without being
drowned; dragged with strychnine without
'being•polsoned, and riddled with bullets with
out being numbered with the slain!
Thus has it been with the Word of God
during all its history. It was not to be ex
pected that a volume' which imposes self-re
straint upon the wilful, humility upon the
-arrogant, mercy upon the. cruel—which would
bend the knees of the self-righteous philoso
phers before the cross of a crucified Redeemer,
and which, would quell all the tumultous de
sires which attach us to this world, that it may
plant the sublime Lopes and aspirations of
eternity in their room—would command the
willing deference of an unconverted world.
Nor has the result failed to sustain the antece
dent probability. The Bible has had, all along
its course, to struggle against opposition, visible
and latent, artful and violent. It has bad to
contend with the prevalence of error, the
tyranny of passion, and the cruelty of persecu
tion. Numerous foes have risen up
against it,—Pagans, who have aimed to
destroy it ; Papists, who have striven
'to • monopolize' it; and ungodly
men, who have hated it fur its purity
and penalties. Jehoiakim eut to pieces the
Divine Roll, and threw it into the fire. About
one hundred and seventy years before Christ,
Antiochus caused all the copies of the Jewish
Scriptures to be burnt. Three hundred and
three years after, Diocletian, by an edict, or
dered all the Scriptures to be committed to the
flames; and Eusebius, the historian, tells us that
be saw large heaps of them burning •in the
market-place. To the labored arguments of
Celsus and Porphyry against the Word of the
Lord, we need only refer, as well as to the bit
ter opposition which, in modern times, it has
had to encounter in the philosophy of Hobbes,
the skeptic doubts of Bayle, the polished sar
casm of Bolingbroke, the subtlety of Hume,
the learning of Gibbon, the mockery of Vol
taire, the vulgarity of Paine, the empty cavil
ling of Strauss, and the shallow sophistry of
Benin.
But from all these assaults the Bible has been
preserved. Though cast into the tire, it has
risen triumphantly from its ashes; though
crushed, yet, like the diamond, every part of
which, when broken, exhibits the beauty and
perfection of the whole, it has proved its inde s
structibility ; and, though sunk in the waters,
it has cone upagairsistudded and shining with
the costliest pearls. It has survived the shock
of all its enemies, and withstood the ravages
•of time. Like the ark of Noah, upborne and
protected by .the invisible band of the Al
,mighty, it has safely ridden over the rolling
• billows of human history, and, as the fabled
pillars of Seth, which are said to have bid defi
ance to the deluge, it has stood unmoved in the
midst of that, flood which sweeps away men,
with their labors, into oblivion. Many a vol
ume that once bid fair for immortality is
now utterly forgotten. Of the unnumbered
thousands that have been written since the
dawn of literature, how few, even of those that
once filled the trump of fame and were ranked
among the chief productions of human genius,
have escaped the ravages of the ages and the
forgetfulness of man ! Though the shelves of
mighty libraries groan with the learne.l labors
of the past; yet of the vast majority of the works
therein deposited it may be said that, "like
the bodies of Egyptian kings in their pyramids,
they retain only a grim semblance of,
amidst neglect, 'darkness and decay." Oh,
what wreck and ruin, meet the eye as it
glances at the past ! Thrones have crumbled,
empires have, fallen, , and philosophers
and their systems have vanished away.
The very monuments of man's power have
been converted into the mockery of his weak
ness. Ms eternal cities moulder in their ruins;
• the serpent hisses in the cabinet where he
planned his empire, and echo is startled by the
foot which breaks the silence that has reigned
forages in his hall of feast and song. Yet,
notwithstanding; all this desolation, the stream
which first bubbled up at the foot of the Eter
nal Throne has continued to roll on with silent
majesty and might, bearing down each op
, posing barrier, and declaring to perishing mid
titudes on its brink that, while " all flesh is as
grass, at d all the glory of man as the flower of
grass which failed' away, the Word of the Lord
endureth forever."
Nor is this all. Not only has the Bible not
been destroyed; but, it has not even been
diluted by the lapo of centuries. Commenced
in the Arabian desels ages before Homer sane,
and finishedlifteen 'hundred years afterwards ;
on an island in the ..Egean Sea, it has come
down to us from that remote antiquity un
scathed and entire. It has aot been ruined by
the sapping of its foundations, orsby_thesincor
poration of any new element, with it, which has
marred its integrity, or vitiated its purity.
With it, like God its author, there has been no
variableness or shadow of a change. The world
has antlered its boasted classics to be blurred,
but the Church can rejoice over the fair page
of her precious books, assured that the far de
scent of these venerable treasures has_ neither
altered their character, nor changed their iden
tity. These divine oracles have come down to
us in such unimpaired fullness and accuracy,
that we are placed as advantageously towards
them as the generation which gazed upon that
book of the law' to which Muses had been
; adding chronicles and statutes for forty years;
`Or those; crowds which hung on the lies of
Jesus,' is De recited a parable on the shore • of
the Galilean lake; or those churches which re
ceived fioni Paul or Peter one of their epistles
'of warning or exposition.
And thus shall it continue to be. Divine
Truth, which, at first, when like a little spark,
it glimmered in the neon of night,many waters
Could not quench, nor floods extinguish, and
which every blast of violence has' only served
to fan to a larger flame—that Truth shall
never, never expire, but' shine brighter and
brighter unto the perfect day. All its past his
tory shows that it . possesses a principle of
vitality—a victorious power of its own, on
which nutty be grounded the most confident
eXpeetation of its final and universal triumph.
The Old Book, the Bunk of our Redeemer's
gifeand our fathers' faith, will never halt in hi
ascending glory until "its line is gone
out .through , all ,the earth, and its
Words to the end of the world." Already is it
taking to itself new tongues, spreading open its
page in almost every land—printed in Chinese
camps ; pondered in the Red man's wigwam;
sought after in Bewares; a school-book in
Feejers eagerly bought in Constantinople; loved
in the Woofs of Eaflir-land; while the voices of
the dead from 'Assyria to Egypt have beenlifted
up to. bear it witness. What earthly or infernal
might, then, can arrest its progress or hinder
its predicted triumph ?
There Is; as an able 'writer says, coming upon
the Church a current of doubt, deeper far and
'darker than ever swelled against her before—a
current strong in learning, crested with genius,
strenuous. yet c a l m in progress. It seems the
,lust • grand trial of the truth of our faith.

has openly been blown and no charge publicly
sounded. There are the old desperadoespf
Ipfidelity,lhe last followers of Paine and Vol
taire Ithere is thestolid, Scanty and sleepy trogp
of the followers of Owen ; there follow the Com
munists of Prance—a fierce, disorderly crew.
The commentators of Germany come, too,
,with pick-axes in their hands, crying, 117.0 it,
raze it to the foundations !" There you see
the garde-mobile, the vicious and vain youth
of Europe and America. On the outskirts Of
the fight hangs, cloudy and uncertain, a small
, but select band, whose wavering surge is
surmounted by 'the, dark and lofty crests of
Carlyle and Emerson. "Their .swords' are a
thousand "—their purposes are various. In
flail, however, all agree, that Christianity and
the Bible ought to go down before advancing
civilization. Never, indeed, have the one-.
mica .of the Bible been more numerous
and determined. To the old open , warfare
they have added weapons, or attack far more
'subtile and, dangerous—weapons , skilfully
adapted to the refinement and' intelligence of
the age, lustrous with a great show of learning
and science, and not seldom pointed with the
semblance of reverence for the Bible—and
with these they 'are striking with fierce blows
the records of our faith, and striving to uproot
that tree whose leaves are for the healing of the
nations. But even from all this artful and
systematized opposition the friends of Revela
tion have nothing to fear. The book at which
kings, emperors, generals, philosophers, states
men and legislators have all aimed in vain,
shall still have its enemies in derision. It has
flourished,' while its adversaries have been
blasted one after another, and never did it bid
so fair as at present to be the Book of the
whole family of 'Mankind. The identical
press, indeed, which was employed by Voltaire
and the French Institute to disseminate their
attacks upon the Bible, has since been used to
print the very volume they wickedly and vainly
sought to destroy.
I might here ask, who, that looks beneath
the surface, does riot see in the intense and
unremitting hostility to the Bible, and in its
success in overcoming it, a vindication of Its
heavenly orik,dn? It is, as has been well re
marked, utterly impossible to assign this hos
tility to any other cause than the disclosures
which it makes respecting the extreme deadli
ness of sin ' and of the ineffable purity and jus
tice of the Divine nature. Let it then be even
supposed that the unaided genius of man could'
have produced such a volume as the Bible, dis
playing,asit confessedly does, in the judgment
even of its enemies, such sublimity of 'thought,
such knowledge of heart, and such amazing
depth of wisdom—is it likely that writers of so
extraordinary capacity would have given
characteristics to their work which render it an
object of such deep and widespread aversion?—
that they would have been so weak as to repre
fent God and human nature in characters un
palatable to the natural man ; and, most of all,
on the supposition that they were impostors,
unpalatable to themselves? Such a mixture
of weakness and wisdom we must at once see
to be incongruous and impossible.
But, passing by this point, —how plain is it
that the fact of the Bible's preservation .in the
midst of all this hostility.—of its standing unto
this day, amid the wreck of all that is human,
substantially entire in every part, is an argu
ment for its divinity which no sophistry of in
fidelity can explain or overthrow ! The resist
ance of ages is its crowning legitimation. It
is felt and feared by all the rulers of the dark
ness of' this 'world. It is the visible battle-field
of invisible forces, showing in the radiant
faces of the martyrs who have died for it, and
the unearthly struggles of those who have
sought to banish it. from the earth, what mys
terious Interests are suspended on its safety or
destruction.. Surely, a volume exhibiting
sigys of having beet at one time
trampled on by rage. at another moth-eaten
by neglect; here scorched by the fires of bigotry ;
there stained with the venom of infidelity ; in
every page sprinkled with the blood of its
martyred defenders, and yet substantially en
tire in every part, liaS herein much to prove
that it has always been in the keeping of Orn
nipotenoc—in the hollow of His band.
" Th is kanp froin oft the everlanting Throne.
Mercy took down, and in the night of time
Stood, casting on the dark her gracious bow,
And evert where beseeching men with team
And earnest sighs, to hear, believe, and live."
