establishment From Special EoporUr. 1PMCOPAL CONFERENCE HOI7TH. I FT DAY. Norfolk, November 26, moTcd that the chalrCommittee of Examlm?" of lbV.Eloew committee to serve taftSESSS the eiMuing four C. Granberry, from the Committce on Missions, reported a series of reports.

combining articlos for ft const it utToo for "The Board of Domestic Missions of the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. This constitution is in the usual form of Mich societies, and alter haying been read by sections, was. with some slight amendments, aflopted. The committee also recommended that for the present year the appropriations for its support shall bo made by tho bishop and presiding elders. They also nominated officers for the Board, who were elected, viz.

President, Rev. John E. Edwards Vice-President, R. M. Smith; Treasurer, Paul; Secretary, Ret.

John C. Granberry. Clerical Revs. G. W.

Langborne, E. M. Peterson, Joseph A. Proctor, W. W.

Bennett, and James A. Duncan. Lay A. S. Lee, Dr.

W. W. Parker, and Charles Talbott, of Richmond, and D. B. Dugger, of Petersburg.

Rev. G. wTNollcy, from the Committee on tiie Superanuated Ministers' Fund, reported that the most of this fund in the stock of the Richmond Fire Association, and was all lost by the disastrous fire of the 3d of April, 1865. The report was committee on the trial of J. P.

Brock reported that they found bim not euilty on the charges and spec lflcat ions, and offered a resolution to the effect that while be was not found guilty of the charges, the possession of the horse was under circumstances which involved imprudence on his part, and were calculated to lay him liable to a misrepresentation of bis motives." The report was adopted. Rev. G. W. Langhorne rose to a personal explanation in regard to the report of bis speech in the Day Book, lie ished to make some corrections in regard to language which he is represented to have made.

In that paper he had been made to say things that had been spoken by other Dr. Smith arose to speak in favor of the reporters. He did not allude to this particular case, but it was surprising to him that the reports were as good as they were, being made by persons who were altogether unacquainted with the Methodist technology, and in addition to the confusion necessarily attendant upon a meeting of the Conlerence, when so much other had to be transacted. He said also that the reports were, he was sure, better than any that be could make. There being no other business before the Conference, the Bishop called up the the "change of name," that being the subject on which the Conference adjourned, and remarked that he hoped the question would be put to the vote at once, as.

he had no doubt that every one had made Up his mind, and for himself he hoped that the discussion would not be renewed. Hev. Robert O. Burton hoped that it would not be taken up for a few moments, as it was necessary for one of the committees to retire for a short time, and asked that they be allowed to do so. Permission was granted.

Bishop Doggett took advantage of the interval to call attention to the fact that Dr. Hoge had sent him a large number copies of the Richmond Eclectic which he highly commended. Mr. Poisal, agent of the Episcopal Methodist, of Baltimore, was introduced, and made a few remarks introducing his paper, saying that the paper was published iq the interests of Southern Methodism, and had been reduced to ministers one-half, making the subscription price to them two dollars. Rev.

William H. Christian moved that each preacher be required to report to each annual Conference a statistical account of the amount of labor which he had performed in his circuit in all the work relating to the ministry during the year. This resolution gave rise to some discussion. participated in by Revs. E.

M.Peterson, G. W. Langhorne, W. W. Bennett, James J.

Lambkin, S. T. Moorman, L. Rosser, Paul Whitehead, and John E. Edwitrds.

Bishop Pierce remarked that in the form of examining ministers in the Conference it amounted to very little, and the plan proposed was better adapted to the end songbt after than the present verbal and ambiguous reports. The ministers had grace and power enough in them, but it wanted stimulation and the rigid account of this plan would make him more vigilant and greatly Increase his usefulness. Rev. P. Whitehead offered a substitute embodying very much the same principle, which, on count, declared lost, and the original resolution was then withdrawn.

Rev. T. A. Ware offered the following resolution, which was ftdopted Jicsolvtd, That a committee bo Appointed for the purpose of considering the propriety of so amending the rules of order as to provide fbr the following That the presiding elders be henceforward constituted a nominating committee, who shall nominate members for all the standing committees and other important committees that may be desired In the transaction of the business of the Confer. all such committees be constituted of at least one member from each district.

t. That, except for special reasons, no member of the Conference shall be appolnted on more than one committee at a time. The following committee was appointed in conformity with the resolution Revs. t. A.

Ware, H. X. Lindsay, and J. D. Sack well.

Rev. N. Head, from the publishing committee of the Christian Advocate, made a report, and moved that the whole subject be referred to the publishing committee ol the Conference. Adopted. Dr.

William A. Smith, from the Committee on Education, submitted a report recommending to public patronage Randolph Macon College, Danville Female College, (N. Female College, Petersburg Female College, and Southern Female College, and offered reeomttous recommending all Of them most the patronage of the Conference perjty towwSVjnieattila. They earn. He did not think that the location fu good as some other place, but still a great desl night be done there, and It might be made as flourishing as at any former period of its history; but to do that required the hearty support of the Methodist community.

The way for us to make our children Methodists is to send them to Methodist schools and colleges. The location was one of the most healthy In the State and young men and parents should not consider the fsct that It Is not on a railroad as an obstacle to their support of It. The Virginia Military Institute and Washington College are not on a railroad, but still Lex. ington is filling up with young men from almost every State In the Union. The Board of Trustees are almost unanimously opposed to its removal and in that case the Legislature would not so amend the charter as to allow its removal.

We were asked to remove the college, and no place was offered for its location. Where shall we go To move would involve of buildings and grounds; and the erection of others elsewhere would sink the entiro fund of the institution. This college has to-day more friends in the South and Southwest than any college in the whole country. It is the child of this Conference, and will it now fold its arms and let it fall to the ground Four hundred millions of dollars have been lost in this State by the mere scratch of a pen and we are too poor to move it now. Let us give it the necessary support now, and when it gets in a flourishing condition you can move it.

lie did not like to have to stand before this Conference and plead for his mother, but he felt it to be his duty to do it. If it were properly placed before the South and Southwest, we should get a plenty of studonts. Maryland, too, will send her sons. Let this Conference put her shoulder to the wheel, and the work will bo done. Dr.

William Carter made a few remarks in opposition to the report and resolution, and was answered by Dr. Smith, who elaborated to some extent the ideas which he had advanced in his first speech. Bishop Doggett desired to say that he was present at the meeting of the Board of Trustees in which this subject was discussed, and was in favor of its removal, acting upon the conviction that the time had come for its removal, and he had seen no occasion since that day to change his opinion. He had wished to have seen it thrown in the great current of population. The majority of votes was against us, and as he remarked at the time, though overcome we were not subjugated, and his hostility -to the location was dropped.

For the sake of unanimity and concord, ho was willing to make the experiment of continuing it in its present position. After so melancholy an ebb he should rejoice to see the tide How into its walls again. His motive for removal was in his permanent solicitude in behalf of literature; and now, as it will not be removed, this Conference should rally to its support, and make the best of it. Bishop Early was the first rector of the college. He was in favor of removal.

Boys, when not under the restraint, and away from the influeftce of ladies' society, are not so easily governed as when these wholesome restraints are upon them. He was in favor of removal, but he would never agree to speud so much money in brick and mortar anywhere else as had been spent at Randolph Macon. Remove it to Richmond, or Petersburg, or Lynchburg, or even Norfolk, and he promised in one day to raise the necessary amount and get immediately from fifty to seventy scholars in perpetuity. But he earnestly recommended it as it was to the hearty support of Methodists. Rev.

James A. Duncan rose to correct any misapprehensions which had gone abroad about certain newspaper articles which had been mentioned in tins connection. No one had ever said that Conference ordered the removal. As the Conference editor, through the Advocate he had advocated the Conference resolution. As a graduate of the college he wished it all possible success.

No one shall surpass me in expressions of gladness if it shall succeed, notwithstanding its location, and I will do all in my power for its real and best interests." Mr. Poisal, of the Episcopal Methodist said that in all their relations the Methodists of Maryland were with the Southern Methodists. Nine-tenths of them prefer southern schools and colleges. Our youth will not go North to be educated, but will come South if you have good institutions of learning in your land, and as Randolph Macon College has a' glorious record in the past, why should we not support it. The resolution was adopted.

Rev. James E. Edwards said: "Mr. Bishop, I rise to a question of privilege. In the Norfolk Virginian of 22d instant I am represented as saying that two mcu who had been trusted and had received money and other things from the Church had gone away without taking the proper course in such I did say that Thomas H.

Hayncs and Andrew J. Cofiman had withdrawn from the Couference without any formality, after receiving appointments in good faith at the hands of the Bishop of our last Conference. I spoke of it as a violation of contract, of ordination vows, and as open to exception. I further stated if persons were permitted to come in and go out in this loose and irregular way, it laid us open to gross impositions; that I ministers might receive moneys, add hold property, and go out.from us to our damage, as well as in violation of plighted faith with the Conference. This latter remark was general, and not in application to Mr.

Cofiman and Mr. Haynes." The Rev. Mr. Sanders, of the Alabama Conference, was introduced by the Bishop and invited to a seat. Rev.

Mr. Sehon, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, said that as there was nothing just now before the Conference he would like to speak a word or two in behalf of the mission cause. He had come not only in the interests of the foreign missions, but had come to help the whole subject. Stop not with domestic reliefstrike bard the blow for the salvation of the world, as well for foreign missions as for those at home. A few years since we were prosperous and prospering but the results of the late sad war have left us in a languishing condition, and deeply in debt.

The Methodist Episcopal Church South at the beginning of the war held a higher position in this work than any other Chnrch in the world. We had 300 ministers in the South, and in the rice and cotton fields of the South the banner of the Redeemer was floating over more than 250,000 of the sons of Ham, who were communicants in our denomination. In Indian missions there were more than 6,000 Methodists, with thirty native preachers, and 640 youths under education. The grounds of the Indian Con. ference had been one wide battle-field, and through the terrible events of the war snfifering had ensued such as had been seen nowhere else, but now that peace has returned, they are calling to us for help; and shall we do nothing for their relief The direst Wow ever given to any people on the face of4he earth was when emancipation, with one stroke of the pen, was given to the negroes of the Sonth.

In the new-born glory of freedom they Mattered and went off alter the strange Gods, but, like sheep returning to their fold, they are now coming back to us. Til true that this field has been to some extent lost to us, but whenever we meet a colored man there is work fdr us to do. The China Mission had all during thfr war been self-supporting, but now they needed We are now under a dsrk cloud; a hoary debt upon wr At the befinnfof of the war tb. bolder Statu from under oar Is. tf uenoe, ami the OmAmm of the mora Statu could not meet the do.

Mr. Bishop, we will have to get the money somehow, and from somewhere we want to support all the missions.

It is a great work, and my heart rejoices in the bright anticipations of the future. I hope that every one will come here to-night prepared to meet the demands upon him. After benediction the Conference adjourned to meet to-morrow at 9 A. M. Methodist Board of Missions.

Norfolk, November 26. This Board met in Granby.street church to.night, and was called to order by the president, Rev. Paul Whitehead, and was opened with religious exercises conducted by the Rev. Dr. Sargent, who gave out that grand old missionary hymn From Greenland's icy mountains," The Rev.

J. C. Granberry, Secretary of the Board, then read thtf annual report, of which we give the following statistics Richmond. Rev. S.

T. Moorman reported 16 names had been stricken from the roll, 5 of whom had died 22 had joined the church during the last year, and they now numbered 123 members. Petersburg. Rev. J.

A. Jefferson reported 102 conversions, 79 of whom had joined tho church. The Sunday schools number 205 scholars. Porter's Mountain, Botetourt Rev. Cyrus Doggett reported 72 members, and a Sabbath school numbering from 30 to 40 scholars.

Rev. E. N. S. Blogg reported a good work done in his mission among the German population within the bounds ol the Virginia Conference.

Among the colored people, Rev. Thomas Diggs, on the Amelia circuit, reported a membership of twenty -three, and an average attendance of 400. Rev. M. Linney, in Orange county, reported that Ue had met with such opposition on the part of the people that he could do but little.

Many of them were Baptists, and some of them preachers, and recently the northerners had given him much trouble. Rev. Thomas A. Pearce, in Appomattox county, reported that there were 800 under his instruction, and a largely increasing interest among them. Thirty had joined the church during tho year.

The opposition which had at first given him much trouble was fast giving way, and he hoped it would soon entirely die out. Mr. D'Arcy Paul, treasurer, reported there had been collected during the year $3,102, of which 91,021 goes to the foreign missions, and $1,081 to the home missions. Among the amounts reported are From Centenary, from Trinity church, from Broad-street, 8113. Marketstreet, Petersburg, gave $326.16, and Granby-street, Norfolk, $413.

Bishop Doggett was then called on, and made one of the most able addresses which we have ever heard. This eloquent divine is too well known to need commendation from me, but his address to-night was one worthy of his high reputation. I have full notes of his most excellent discourse, but they are too long for insertion in your already crowded columns. Rev. John Poisal, agent of the Episcopal Methodist, made a very eloquent address, pressing with great earnestness the vast importance of this work, and closing with an eloquent and feeling tribute to Virginia, his native home.

Sehon, being called one of his "usual happy speeches, interspersed with wit, anecdote, and eloquent paragraphs; but as he went over very much the same ground as the speech reported in the Conference proceedings this morning, I do not send it. At its conclusion, collections were taken up in the usual way, first by making life members, (among whom were Bishop Doggett, Mr. Poisul, Dr. Smith, and others,) and then by passing around the hat. The meeting thcD, on motion, adjourned.

The Conference will probably adjourn on Wednesday evening. H. "Wise Two liberal gentlemen of Richmond, whose modesty equals their princely generosity, have offered to defray the expenses of the Agricultural Convention out of their private purses. The names of these gentlemen are unknown to the public but it is clear that they are as wise as they are liberal. The importance of the reorganization of the Agricultural Society is fully appreciated in Richmond.

In the first place, it must stimulate the production of wheat and tobacco, for upon these staples the business of Richmond depends and, in the second place, the annual expenditure of money in the capital by members of the Agricultural Society and visitors to the fairs has always been large, and will continue to be of great importance to Richmond trade. Hence, whilo admiring the generous temper of the donors in this case, we can still say that theirs is a wise liberality without detractiug from the munificence of their offer. "We have alluded to this not only to award praise to those who deserve it, but for the further purpose of holding up a good example to our own business men. Liberality in a commercial town is but another name for enterprise it is bread thrown upon the waters, which, after many days, will return again just ps certainly as the wheat cast upon the Nile came back in abundant harvests to those who 'seemed really to be literally throwing it away.
