And he would ask them to sitsmin the society in the work of giving. the Word yr ti id to the nation. The question isnot what do we think of the 'Word of God, but what will we do for it. One aim of the American Bible Society has been darn a the war to sustain that good. old form of worship. They had given their hooks free;} to all who would have them—to the prisoners taken by our armies, aml we have sent them South. In times past it was impOssible to give the Bible to the slaves at the South, but blessed be Gad ! they have now COMC to cm doors, and sought the ift at our own hands. They have covered it with -- tears,. and lived to cherish and honor it. In this blessed. Bible cause we know no denominations we work together, hand-M-akand, and receive contributions from all. Rev.

A erceint ecuonittee was appointed at the last 'General Conference to report some plan of General Conference action on the subject of education, and to make such suggestions as would result in the for mation of a Central Board of Education. The com mittee recommended that the subject be left to the Annual Conference, who have previously exercised control in the matter. The report-was adopted. The Committee on Ritual recommended the adop tion of the ritual as reported by the last General Conference, containing the three forms on the re ception of picker lener - S into the church, laying of corner-stones. anti church deditations.. A resolution was adopted that the book agents be requested to supply colporteurs at the lowest cash prices. The order of Monday was now - called for, which WS a sermon by the venerable Bishop Morris. The exercises were eommeneed by the singing of the bytun, commencing: • " Lord, I believe a rest remains, TO .111 'work known. . After an aopropriate prayer, the Bishop com menced b Liying that a he was admitted into the church as a penitent sinner, in August, 1813. He was licensed to preach 2d of April, 1814, by Elder David Young, and by him employed on a circuit in 3.51.5 3 admitted on trial by the Ohio Oonferenee in 1816, and into full connection and ordained preach er in 1818. and ordained elder in 1820 and bishop in 1886. Dutim , the four wears and a half that he was a licentiate he preached over a thousand sermons ; as deacon, ten years, live hundred 7 as elder, sixteen years, three thousand; as bishop twenty-eight - wean, about three thousand—in all about - Seven thousand five hundred. He travelled as a preacher, 'before he was bishop, mostly on hOrtiebaCk, sixty'. thousand miles, and as bishop, mostly by public conveyance, one hundred and forty thousand miles. During twenty-eight years: Episcopal service, he presided at two nundred Annual Conferences, or dained five thousand preacher!.:, and appointed twenty thousand preachers to their work.. - - The text which he had selected was found in the 59th chapter of the book of Isaiah, 21st verse. - The first Methodist Society was formed in England in 3.739--oae hundred and twenty-fire years ago. - The first American Methodist Society was organized in - . ILM—ninety.eight years ago. Methodism has be come a great power on both sides of the Atlantic, and it is worth while to inquire what is the secret of this whole success. propoi.ed to speak in the spirit of Methodism, shich, in the first place, he would say was a spirit of truth. Our Saviour, when praying for his dis ciples, said, "Sanctify them through thy truth." Thy word is truth. The Bible is truth. It embraces all that is essential to salvation. The doctrine of purification by faith ; the doctrine of perseverance, and the immorality of the soul and resurrection of the body. At the same time, while it is comprehen sive; it omits many things. The five points of Methodism are : Ist. All men are sinners - All are redeemed 3 ad. All men arc ; 4th. ' All men who obey the call arc chosen ; sth. Those who endure unto the end shall be saved. Before the people had, the light of Methodism the man who talked of havin- , his sins forgiven was de nounced as foolish. Thespirit of Methodism is the spirit of enterprise. We went to the highways and hedges, and warned sinners of the wrath to come. - We saw streams of living water push forth in dry and parched plates - ' and in thousands of instances they who wen not the people became the people of the Lord. And we tried to. practice in the largest scale the command. "Go ye unto all the world and preach the word of God to the people." The first three circuits the speaker .had ever travelled had from twenty-eight to forty appointments, to compass which irequired a journey of three hundred miles. We went among the people, and if one man in the Settlement would consent to open his doors to preaching, we made an appointment, and fulfilled it when we ruinin came that way_ In one way and another they generally met their engagements, In the iiexc place, the spirit of Methodism le - the Spirit of swerifice. No estimate was made in those days for their expenses. For the first twelve years of his services he, had averaged yearly only 5.1e11.65, Out of which had to be paid all his expeuSeS, In the next place tIM speaker alluded to the numerical pro gress of the Church. When he commeneed his preaching, in 1813, the ag gregate of communicant members in America was less than a quarter Of a million. Now wehave a frac tion only below one million. This is after deducting the lar , e number who left the Church upon the breaking out of the war. In reference to their churches in those days he said there Were Luta few frail buildings. Fifty years ago they Mid no Sunday-schools. He had been a travel ling preacher four years before he ever saw a Sun day-school. The first one he saw was in Zanesville, Ohio. Now we have Sunday-schools by thousands, and teachers by tens Of thousands, and scholars by hundreds of thousands. Neither had ire any tracts or religious papers pub lished as now, or any public institutions. We - had no miriitihcil" cause in those days. He continued the present r' ate of affairs of the Church to what they were in the days to which he alluded. The speaker also contended that the spirit of Atethodito is a pirit of loyalty to the civil govern ment. [Cries of "Amen," andapplause,] /754, when the Church *as first organized, there it still stands, a monument to our loyalty. - The Methodist -Church had largely responded to the call of their country for \ ohtutf,ers. As Tar as they know, they had one hundred thousand of their members in the service. This is an indication that the spirit of Methodism is a spirit of patriotism. The speaker argued that slavery had first divided their Church. and now it had divided their country. -The war for the - Union had struck slavery a fatal blow, and they were praying to Glad that it might give up tire ghost. we never saw the day that he did not teach free grace and free community. They believed that Methodism would live to accomplish its mission. Some have tallied of the world coining to an end, but, thank HIM 1 the world still mores, and a num ber of ii port events will take place. We be lieve that the - Union will be restored, that shivery will be crushed out, and last, but not least, that there will be such a - revival of the word or G-od as the world never witnessed, and thepeople shall ac /MOlTledge that the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. Upon the conclusionof the sermon, a fervent and impressive prayer was delivered by Father Boehm. Conference then adjourned with the usual reit gious exercises. A. M. E. General Conference.

Rev. Win. A. Dove said if there was any mistake it was made by the delegation from Canada, who had distinct:lY made the above statement, and who, on being asitiid over and over again, had reiterated the statement.. Rev. Thomas Stringer, and others of the delega tion, denied having made any such statement. Rev, stcpi,en Smith said there could bo no mis take by the Committee; that the delegation had been interrogated particularly on this point, and they did distinctly say several times over that Bishop Nazrey had held all their Conferences except the hist one, and had ordained and performed all the other work of his office es the bishop of the church they repre sented. He was surprised to hear this attempt to deny so notorious a fact. Rev.

Re‘"..l. P. Campbell sustained this view, arguing that this Conference had trouble enough of its OWn without assuming other men's troubles. Rev. Mishit Weaver opposed the motion, and thought the Conference did itself injustice by such action as well as the Church at large, and hoped the motion would not prevail. Rev. Stephen Smith opposed the motion as unjust amid unreasonable beyond precedent. fiev. Willis R. Revels most bitterly opposed the motion, and desired, instead or voting, to enter his protest against these irregular and unjust, pro eeedimrs. Rev.:Sohn A.

Mr. Cain proceeded to show that it was di rectly in order, but the Bishop refused to entertain his motion, and therefore could hear no remarks ni,on it. The motion to indefinitely postpone Was then adopted. Bev. Elisha Weaver desired to state his reasons for not voting, and to cuter his protest. The Eishop wished to hear no reason for his not voting, and would entertain no remarks upon his protest.

The resolution, postponed at the last meeting, ex pollinz Mr. Cregar, as principal of the Girls' Ifig,h -„citool was called up. Mr. Fitzgerald stated that he should vote against the resolution. He thought it would be unjust, to a te.mher of such long standing and good moral cha racter, to < vote now for his expulsion. If Mr. Cregar had done wrong, the Board would be justi censurin—' him, out he had not deserved an expulsion. He had long known Mr. Cregar, and found him "a .zzentleman of character and probity. 31r. Shippen said that he could not see how any member should refuse to vote for the resolution, who had read the testiniony in the case. Pit. Wel/Inger replied that he had spent sixty-four hours in reading the testimony, and could freely say that never in his life had he read 'a more illiberal and villainous report to a deliberative body. He said Mr. Shippen was opposed to the Girls' High School, and that probably accounted for his earnest ness in voting for air. Clregar's expulsion ; to which 31r.

RELIEF FOIL TE WOUNDED.—It 'will be gratifying to those who have friends in the great conflict now going on in Virginia to know that in anticipation of what was to take place, the United Mates Christian Commission had sent forward to :Brandy Station large quantities of hospital and battle-field stores, that they might be on hand when the emergency called lbr them. The Commisqon sent a wagon loaded with battle-field stores with each corps of the grand Army of the Potomac, and over fifty delegates to distribute them and minister personally to the wounded. These, wagons and de ifteates started on the march with the army, have shared its sorrows and its triumphs, and have, no doubt, by this time nearly exhausted their stores, ' and rendered good service in assisting- the wounded and dying. On Monday seventeen additional dele gates left Washington for the scene of action, and more have gone forward since. . _ . In addition to the delegates and stores with Geri, Atomic's army, the Commission ha,: also a three with Gen. Butler. Altogether there are about one hun dred delegates of the Commission on the scene of action, more than half of them having been with the army from the time it began to move. It re mains for the people who remain at home to keep the hands of these devoted men full of all manner of stores suitable for a battle-field. The Commis sion will do all in its power to as.si.--t in the care of the wounded who are being brought to Fredericks burg, and at all other points. They have the men en the E7ound,,ready to minister to the brave boys who hare sacrificed everything for our country. They look to the people for support in doing so. Money for - this great emergency should be sent at once to Joseph Patterson, treasurer of the Commis lion, at the Western Bank.

The parties mostly interested in tire brutality of the dog-pit had their Pickets and videttes oat, and it was, therefore, next to an impossibility for the police to make anything like a sucrossful descent upon the place. It was pretty gene rally known that a dog-fight waste take place early yes terday morning, and accordingly police arrangements Were made to entrap the whole party. Detachments of police from the First, Socoud,Third, and Fifth divisions, Om whole under command of Lieutenant Fuller, were deployed in varioufi way& There were no correspondents about to detail the movement, and the approach of the gallant army caused a surprise to the enemy of moral and statute law. Four columns advanced in the darkness of the morning. be tween twelve and one o'clock. The thick underbrush formed no iumediment — ilitehes, though swelled by re cent rains, were forded; everything was quiet; the crescent moon had long since gone below the horizon; abase-blotted out tho light of the stars; not a breeze stirred the spring foliage of surrounding nature. On the four divisions marched, and concentrating at the place of atturk, the signal was given. Then value tire rush. The enemy were flanked, according to the gene ral plan laid down by Chief Ruggles. In void did they try to escape, and finally they yielded as gracefully hs Possible to the strong arm of the law. The dog-tight lutd not yet commenced, nor were the pickets yet pest ed. The dogs were ratitured, and seventy-two men were brought in as prisoners. The party were bound over to answer. • [Before Mr. Altlerinatt:Beiller.] }Hotel Arrested.

The will bears [date August 30th, Wal, and is almost identical in its provisions with a will dated March 30, 1361, which was filed in the Register of Wills' office as the last will and testament of Mrs. Coots, but which wltscontested, and upon trial was, by .the verdict of -jury, set aside. - In that will the decedent houy.eathed the most of - her estate to Mrs. Passmore The Will now in contest was, soon after the verdict in the case of the will oftater date, presented by Mr. Pass more Williamson to the Register of Wills and proven, and he sets up that, the other will havingbeen set aside, this takes its place, and is to be considered as the last will, he., of the deceased. In this will Passmore Wil liamson himself takes the place of Mrs. Williamson, his wife, the great bulk of the property being willed to him. A few trilling legacies only go to the others, TH: To Reuben Coots, husband of the deceased,. fir3so; Letitia Kelly, $500; to Edward A. Crenshaw, ICM; and to an adopted child, Jane Echo, an annuity of id5U, un til her arrival at her majority. Williamson is named as guardian of this girl, and as executor - of the will. He, however,, ' renounces in a formal document, filed in the case, all his right, title, and interest in the residuary estate thus bequeathed to hint iu the will, in favor of the adopted child, Jane Echo, and in case of her death in favor of the heirs-at-law, only claiming and reserv tho right to act as guardian of the child, and as executor or trustee of the estate for her benefit. - The validity of the will is contested by the heirs-at law upon the ground that the decedent, a colored wo man of about seventy years of age, was in feeble condi tion of both mind and body, and that undue influence. wateexercised in order to procure the execution of the will. Also, that the principal legatee, Mr. William son, was both before and at the time of its execution the trustee and confidential business agent of the deceased, having the sole and entire control and management of her allahT, and that bequests M »ersons occupying such confidential relations with a testator were always to be regarded by the law with jealousy and suspicion. The trial of the case will occupy several days. Jun kin and Gilpin for the will; B. IL Brewster, Crawford, and Cadwalader Biddle against the will. - Court of (pewter Sesgiouq —Judge Thompson. James Sides and Thomas Parker, for assault and bat tery and malicious micchief, Were sentenced each to SO days' imprisonment. Daniel -McGoldrick was convicted of the robbery of George Clinton. From the eviTtence, it appeared that lie struck Clinton in the eye, blinding and felting him to the ground, and that he then took front him is few dollars, all that he lad on his Person. The sight of the prosecutor's eye is destroyed. McGoldrick: was sen tenced to two Tears' intrftisounient at hard labor, Two boys, by the name of Julia and. Michael McGrath, were arrested in the month of February on a charge of larcmy. One of them was twelve, and.the other eight years old, and were committed by. Alderman Moore to the county prison. From thence they were sent to the IlMise of Refuge. On the 80th of April they were before Judge Thompson on a writ of habeas corpus, when the mother demanded a jury trial upon the charge of lar ceny. Yesterday they were tried for the larceny of a silver cream ewer and card receiver, C rom the corner of Muth and Chestnut. Alter a lull investigation had upon the trial, they were acquitted.
