An amendment was offered, that they possess all the rights and privileges of other Conferences, pro vided they meet with the consent of the Bishops. Rev. Mr. Brown, Of the Detroit Cenforence, thought it would be more reasonable to give the Bishops a veto power at heme than it would in these foreign Conferences. Re was opposed to the amend ment. Rev.

The Committee on Itinerancy reported that they would recommend that the time of ministerial ser vice in < the same church be extended, so that the Bishop may appoint for three years instead of two, mid that characters of preachers may be examined in their presence. A minority report upon the same subject was pre sented, in which the position is taken, that while a majority of the preachers are in favor of it, and the majority of the laity are against it, therefore they recommend that it is inexpedient to make any gene ral change, but that in eases when a majority of the presiding elders think well of it, a bishop may ap- point for three years.

TICE 'UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN COMMIS SION AT THE Fnowr.—Amidst the encouraging news from our brave army in Virginia the Condition of the wounded at Fredericksburg, at City Point, and elsewhere on the road to Richmond, is exciting among our people intense apprehension. To meet, as far as possible, the demands of the suffering men at these places, the Christian Commission has been straining every energy and incurring every expense ; and h is with satisfaction that it is able to report the preparations and efforts it has been enabled to make already, while other results are in process of accom plishment. III&By reference to an advertisement in another co lumn it will be seen that fifty-eight delegates wont with the army when it started to the front. From these, of COllrs, nothing has been vet heard, as they have shared, in every respect, the fortunes of the men in the ranks—eating, sleeping, cooking, marching with them. We only that they are perfectly organized—under the leadership of the Held agcnt,Nr. John A. Cole, of Massachusetts— and that, being well supplied, their record will be a good one. Since the army moved eighty-ono have been sent forward, making, in all, one hundred and thirty-nine men. In addition to those, strong re serves in all the large cities of the Korth are in readiness—minute-men—waiting to go at a mo ment's notice. Large quantities of stores have been forwarded, every possible provision made, and whatever yet remains to be done shall be. Among those who have gone forward are several of our city clergy men—Rev. .T. Wheaton Smith, D. D., Rev. George Eringhurst, Rev. J. H. Alday, Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, Rev. A. G. McAuley, Rev. J. H. Castle, and others. Dr. Reed. of our city, has also gone. Rev. Dr. Tor rey, of Rochester ; Surgeon Parker, of Ithaca; Rev. Renick 'Johnson, of Pittsburg; John Y. Foster, of Droper's Weekly Dr. Ward, of Newark ; Chaplain Siiwtell, formerly of Havre, in Prance, have also left for the scene of action. These among many others. Encouragement meets us in every direc tion. A little town in Clearfield county—Curwens villchas furnished a first-class delegate—Rev. L. M. Gardner—and the sum of nine hundred dollars. The town contains only five hundred inhabitants. The Commission is putting forth every energy, and trusts, under the Divine blessing, to be enabled to .i , reat assistance to the wounded, and thus relieve the anxiety, of many hearts. IMPORTART DISCOVERY OF THE AMERI CAN TEA PLANT.—An important discovery has re eently been made, that the tea plant abounds in immense quantities on the lands of the Clinton Coal and Iron Company of Pennsylvania, which may be made to yield millions or dollars of revenue to that institution. It is well known that the discovery of the plant was made a number of years ago on grounds adjacent to that above spoken of. Enter prising New Yorkers at once formed an organiza tion to make the tea plant available fore market, and that city receives a large supply from the soil of Pennsylvania. It is the same as the Chinese plant in all respects. It grows in wild luxuriance in the primeval lands of the Clinton Coal and Iron Company, and the subject was brought to the notice of the directors yesterday afternoon, by Mr. Mar- Inadulie Moore, who gained the information of the existence of the plant while seeking for other know ledge. Of course the directors will take advantage of the fact, and be the means of having served up many a dish of tea. In order to impart some knowledge to the di rectors, a Mr. Cook, now of Camden, N. J. was in troduced by Mr. Moore, He had emigrated to that section of the State of Pennsylvania in 1819. He gave a brief and interesting account of the tea plant. The mountain frosts and keen air oft that region may bereave the plant of its foliage, the same as is general with vegetation, but with the soft, warm days of gushing spring, it comes up again in all its natural vigor. Tracts of country have been fired there, in order to clear the land, but, from the ! black ashes, the tender green sprang up, Placnix ! like, in still greater luxuriance. The plant is pe rennial. It may be made available, by the Ame rican Tea Company, a charter having been granted to such an organization, of which the Hon. J. W. Quigg!e is president. It has been ascertained that OD pounds of tea to the acre grows in its wild state, which, if properly, cultivated, may be made to yield so per cent., per haps a hundred per cent. more. By the introduc tion of steam machinery, the manufacture of the tea will not cost more than eleven cents per pound while the cost admitted in the published reports of the East India Tea Company is thirty-three cents per pound. < There is no doubt but that the tsentle men who have control of the article in its natural state will make it yield a handsome profit on any invest - mint that may be made. - SCHOOL FOR MAIMED SOLDIERS.—A very interesting meeting was held on Tuesday evening, at the Christian-street Hospital, for the promotion of "self-culture." A large audience of ladies and gentlemen were present, and with the -soldiers, who are inmates of the hospital, completely tilled the large dining-room. R . J. Levis, surgeon in charge, presided. Eloquent addresses were delivered by the Bight Rev. Bishop Potter, Lieutenant Colonel Le Conte, medical inspector of the department, Mr. Wm. Welsh, and others. The speakers were fre quently interrupted with applause. A school has been started at this hospital for the instruction of the maimed soldiers, and much interest is mani fested. To Rev. John Long, chaplain of the hos pital, belongs the honor of starting this laudable en terprise. By his untiring energy, he has succeeded in building a comfortable room for the men to study in, and has obtained teachers to come and instruct them.

CAPTAIN ASH.—None of the many brave Philadelphians who have fallen in the late 14;reat battles will be more sincerely or extensively mourned than Capt. Joseph P. Ash, of the sth U. S. Regular Cavalry. He had served with much dis tinction, since the beginning of the war, in all of the Virginia campaigns, and had been several times severely wounded. He was the hero of a highly niecessful and dashing cavalry raid in Virginia; several months since, and had the reputation of being one of the best cavalry officers in our array.
