They further state that the journal of the Baltimore Con ference, for 1.561, was not before them, the same-having been stolen bye disloyal member of that Conference. Objections-were made to the word disloyal. A motion was made that the report be amended so as to read,'' been withdrawn by the Secretary of the Con ference." Rev, -Mr. Lanalian, of the Baltimore Conference,-fa vored the amendment, because the language was more becoming a calm deliberative hotly of Christian minis ters. Rev. Col. Moody was in favor of calling things by their right names. When the spirit of disloyalty conies into a man everything good goes out of him, and If the Journal was stolen by a disloyal secretary or auybody else the hotly ought to sav so. The amendment was adopted. A question of privilege being admitted, the Rev. Mr. Lanahan, of Baltimore, rose for an explanation. Be understood the 11ev. Col. Moody to ItCCII.SO him indlicctly of being a sympathizer with the rebellion, and wanted to know If this was really the gentleman's opinion of him ? Col. Moody said lie believed that Mr. Lanahan had and did sympathize with the rebellion. That was biz private - opinion publicly expressed. Rev. Mr. Peck, of California, defolde th d e ll border, or I , , t a e u r a , t b i a n ti d . He said that icy' man who resided on had stood np as nobly es Mr. Lanahau had, was far above any such remark as had been applied to him. This remark wassionilly applauded by the Conference. Rev. Mr. Lana Tan also replied. lie had hut one re cord, and that record stood without a blot. He re pudiated every and all charges of dislovality, and had iu his pockets to-day records from the I;Var Department at Washingtoe thanking him for the services he had rendered the Government. The Rev. Colonel rose to reply, but a motion to ad journ was made and curried. The Doxology was then- sung, and the benediction pronounced by Rev. Dr. J. T.

Revels said it was just as necessary to order the ministers to come back to Methodism as to call their flecks back to these ancient landmarks. He said that to pass a resolution here to be incorporated into the iscipline, saying what kind of bonnets Methodist ladies abould wear, was equivalent to sending out committees to order blocks on which to make bonnets for ottr Metho. dist ladies. . . - He contended that in many districts it was impossible to get bonnet bl,cks to make such bonnets as would suit the taste of some of our over strenuous ministers; it was unjust to drive away from us members who, but for this, would be active and efficient in sustaining our Church and its laws. The amendinent of. Rev. C. 'Burch was then with drawn and the report of the committee was adopted. The committee then continued their report on the re vision of the discipline.

AMERICAN BAPTIST PUBLICATION SOCIETY Yesterday the fortieth anniversary of the American Baptist Publication Society was. held in the Spruce street Baptist Church. The meeting_ was called to order by the ahairman, Wm. Phelps, Esq., of New York. Prayer was' offered by Rey. Br. Webb, of Slew. Jersey * The annual report of the society was read by the Cor responding Secretary, Rev. Benjamin Griffiths. It set forth that the progress of this society has never been rapid, but always steady and sure. it has met with no reverses, but each year it gains a little deeper place in the appreciation of the. denomination. The work of the society is divided into two departments—business and benevolent. • . •' " The receipts of both departments are kept as distinct and separate as if they were under the direction of two boards. The receipts in the business department were $77, 375, which exceed the like receipts of last year $29,- 034, and the receipts of the preceding year by $35,093.22. The profits have not been large, but they have been sufficient to defray all the expenses, including the sala ry of the secretary and of all the clerks in the rooms, The receipts in the benevolent department, which em braces all the moneys contributed by churches and in dividuals, amounted to $51,100.77. Of this sum, however, $lO,OOO was from a" special do nation. So that the 'receipts in this department, from the ordinary sources, were $21,100. 77, which are $4, 954.46 more [ban were received last year, and $7,13'2.14 more than the receipts of the preceding year. The total receipts in both departments =punted to $108,473.77, which are $43,985.46 more than the total re ceipts of last year. Soon after the last anniversary, a circular'i as sent out appealing for one dollar donations, and a very generous response was made. There was not enough received to enable them to appoint fifty colporteurs, as was proposed, but a number have been commissioned, and others will be soon. During the year ending March lot, eighty-six new publications were added to the catalogue. 'Phe whole issues of the year, new and old, amount to 528,090 copies, containing 25,625,500 actual, or 29,136,375 15mo. the missionary colporteurs report the following work performed; 5,072 11 days of labor; 04,207 miles travelled; .

D. S. Phelps, D. D. , of Connecticnt. The Rev. Wheaton Smith offered and sustained the following resolution by spirited remarks: Resolved, While we do not shrink from any duty - which y devolve upon us as a denomination, in aid of the Union societies of onAime, we cannot, in fidelity to truth, consent to feed our Sabbath schools on, the meagre fare of a Union literature. Rev. L. Moss, of 'Massachusetts, addressed the socie ty, maintaining that our Sabbath-school literature should be a living representation of truth as it actually exists, and alit is found in the word of God. Vivid realities are needed,insteadadornedfiction. of ction. Rev. G. W. Anderson, of Pennsylvania, presented an essay on ! The Scriptural Instruction of the Young. '' It is our ' , duty to instruct and enlighten their minds. God must make this instruction effectual, and change their hearts. Mr. A. referred to the magnitude , of the work to be accomplished. Not less than 400,000 child ren in the United States are connected with Baptist Church members, and more than 1,000,000 of children connected with ;families connected with Baptist con gregtions. Th a e; religious instruction of these children should be considered as of vast importance. This work should be regarded and entered upon as a gracious Privilege, and not as a burden. Those engaged in it should, in their own hearts, appreciate the nature of the truths they teach. The young should be instructed that they must thoroughly submit their minds to the teachings of the Word of God. The Scriptural Instruction imparted should be com plete in all its parts. No Bible truths should be omitted. The want of thorough subjection on the part of the" teacher or parentslis a great hindrance in the way of fas tening troth on the minds of children. Worldliness on the part of parents or teachers is an other great hindrance. Parents and teachers must themselves he what they would seek to influence chil dren to become. On motion, adjourned.
