A dircaa eioa ot tbeqaestioi ia ynrcoI aaitji, jatat tbis lime, I trust will meet witb approraL There are many reasons why tbe Confer ence should be divided. Some ot tbes reaaona I propaae to recite. 1st. Tbe Conference aa it novr sunds is too large. It corersover too mocb terriiory stretching cs It does, from tbe Atlantic Ocean to tba Bloe Uidge A di;ance ap proximating fife baodred miles and extending trom Virginia to South Caroliua. Equally divided ecb Conference woold : barr over one bnndtfd members, witb about thir ty-flre tboosaud commanicants. Tbla wonld bejnore tbao an aver- in every raaenlial respect. Lrge bodies are nnwieldly and burdenromo to tbmselvea and to the eop!e. Tbe expense of travel from ore. extreme of oar Confer eoce to tbe other ia a beary tax to oar preachers. Scarcely a Con ference is ht'.d bat that some ot tbe brethren arts greatly ' embar rassed witb a beary oatlay iaouired ri moving bis family from tbe ex Irene west to tb extreme eat( and rlc4 rcria. And tbeu tbe risk el besttb, and even life by these abruptcbaoges is another serious objection to oar present boande rir. Ily aa equitable division of tbe Conference (these , didsaltirs weald be relieved. Tbe Eastern Conference would reach west far enough to alternate- tba preacbets as necessity tnht ctll for, and , no rik wonld be lucarred In thecbaD' gf In addition to th foreguing it is mi ad milled fact that only a few places io tbe State can en ter rain. the Conference wilb its pres ent site without great tsx upoa the peop!t.L Divide and many ol tbo smail tn wiiji coald uteri fin tbe Confeteuce wiiboat aujr mufcasona ble oatlay, while cu the other band, should tbe "Conference re main aa it i, these places must of oeceaaitj be deprivrd of tbe pleas ures and blrttings wbicb an an naal conference fford. 2nd. Another reason for divis ion is found in tbe fact that tbe entire work could be better aubserT ed. 4 A, am all farm . can be better and more easily caitlraud.' tbsn a large one. Ita - development ta usually more rapid nsd tbe results are more satisfactory. Many a man aa reaped an unaatUfaotory harvest for tbe aim pie reason that he un dertook to , cultivate teo mueh could not do bis work well so witb the work of , the church, la tbe ereut of a division of tbe Confer ence xrany fields now unoccupied woald soon be developed into e(f sustaining circnits, anl tboosanda of souls unssved would bs rvacbtnl by Methodic preaching and gath ered into our communiou. Uuitbe question may be asked, what about tbe Ilolston and, Cbowan people. To this my reply is, if tbe wish to join us we will bid tbem a bearty welcome. I am utterly opposed, howrver, to tbe trsnafer of any ter ritory to our Conletecce witb a view of forming two Conference in this State, without tbe expressed with ot tbe church within its bound a To ee more explicit, it that portion wf North Carolina, iu the bounds cf tbe Ilclaton Confer ence, and tb 4 e:::oJ f North Car oliaa in tbe bounds ot tbe Virginia Conference, desire to come to us we will gladly receive tbem. If tbey do 001 wish to come we do not want tbem sgaiust tbeir will. Tbe logic of tbis (.ofition is that we want a division of tbe Confer eoce and we do not iropojw to make tbe division contingent upon tbe ceding ot territory to us from other Conference. Upoa tbis point I think I am understood. 3rd. Another .potent reaaou tor a diviaion baa ita origien La tbo fact that it will tend to harmonize dis cord an b elements in our midst. The failure of our delegation to tbe lat General Conference1, to carry oot tbe instructions of tbe Conference looking to the. ca'.abluhtaent of a Western Conference, caused great dissatisfaction among tbe friends of ihe measure, i To tbem no satia- faciory reason baa. beta Assigned for a failure to carry out tbe io struct ion of tbe memorial from oar Co a fere ace Kotbinff s&crt of a tiivl.iuo a fair division at tbe approaching General Conference wii harmonize tbe discordant ele ments. It may be well to have a large Conference, stretching over vast territory, when all the interests of tb church iu its bounds are met, and unity prevails, but it these elements are Jacking it .will bts suoru of Us glory and power for great' good. It may be well .to bae beautifal church buildings to bare choral musio sounding mag nitkientiy through their Airy aisles to have large audiences to have ability and etcquence In tbe pulpit; but above frescoed walla, elegant architecture, exoualte musio .and nafuit oratory, ita the eementinj? niicinlea ot ualtr, rjatual aid a.tU bearty. brotherhood iu tbe church. WJiat healthy blood Is to the'vigor of tbe human fystem, la me gen nine spirit. of broiberbood to the oroatttiritv of tbe cbureb. So of a Confeieitoe. The law' of mutual help is grounded upon mutual de-lT-adance. Notbinz is saade self- detndent. One thing is depend nne uoon another, and connected with something else. God baa pnt into existence a dependent universe. We must be bound together D atrougtiee.or wecauuot harmonize Families, ooimonities, common- wealths and uationa stand together upon, these principles.' There Is hirrt in the air not a fish sporting in ita liquid element-rnot a beast roaming in me toieai, bit that Is dependent upon some- tbinir outside of itself for ita ex -it!- .r,rriJ iog tree, holding s am, i a a e m n a n A over tbe iaotiog.beast every spear of era&n everyibitot .moss on tne rock, is detw,udent upou tbe soil of I ;be arth, tbe light of tbe son and thf rains of heaven. What then is tra of tbe vegetable and animal kingdom Is equally true io the moral kingdom.. Tbe analogy holds rood in tbe msttee tow under dis cussion. Taking this view of the question knowing full well that there are discordent, elements growing out of a failure to divide the Conlcr- ence at the last Quadrennial session of the General Conference, I sub mit that the surest ! way to unify and quicken the progress of Meth odism in our midst is to havr an eouitable division of the Confer- A ence. .... But where shall we fix the di viding line. With the lights' now before us, I am clear in my mind that the line . should run between Greensboro and Trinity College so as to place Trinity in the West ern Conference and Greensboro in the . Eastern Conference. To throw both institutions in one Confeience would not dive' sati faction. Care should be taken to deal fairly with all sections and to subserve the.bcst.interests...o.fl the church. TT . - -AWV- - w-. .-) CliAihtU D0Mkt.

Hi 4aplnrr in 104. t - - 1 Knew I riom'Ur. Oavi' lxk,J TV ft ount of lb, fleeing PreBi Im i'k catriure is bent tcld in btf own wittds, as follows: . A Nilly story bad got ub;. ad that it was a treasurer traib, and auri sacra famet bad probably iostigat ed tbea marauders, as it snbse qaentiy stimulated General J. FJ. Wilson to send out a large force to cwpture the same train. For the prottctionxif my family I trardtap with tbem twoor three daja, when, believing that tbey bad passed out ot tbe region of marauders, I de termined to leave their encamp ment at nightfall, to execute un original purpose. My horde and those of ray (arty proper wera saddled- preparatory to a -start, when one my staff, wbo bad ridden into the neighbor iug village, re turned and told me that be bad heard that a maraudiug ptrty in tended to attack tbe camp "that uigbt. This decided me to wail long enongh to see whether there was any truth in the rumor, which I supposed would be ascertained in a lew noura. Aiv norse remained saddled and my pistola in tbe boLn ers. and I lay down, fully drrsed, to rest. Nothing occurred torouse me until just before dawn, when my coachman, a free colored man, wbo faithfully clung to our for tunes . came and told me there was firing over the branch, just behind our encampment. . I stepped ont of my trLIea tent and saw some horsemen whom 1 immediately rec ognized aa cavalry, deploring around the encampment. I turned back Ana told toy w ifo these were i us w avwvv -w-mmtw-. w - regolar troopers. She implored me to leave her at once, I herniated from unwillingness to do to, and lost a few precious momenta before )ieldiogto her importuuify. My borpe and arms were near tbe road on which I expected to leave, and dowa"wbica tus cavAlry approach ed; it was therefore Unpracticableto reach tbem. X was compelled to tart in tbe opposite direction. As it aras quite darls iu tbe tent, I picked up what wasanpposed to be my raglan,'! a waterproof, light over coat, witboot aicevff; it was euosc I qaentiy loand'.tobe' my wife's, so very like my own as to bo mistaken for it; aar-I ! staited, my wil thoogbfully threw over ray head and shoulders Mabawl. I had gone perhaps fifteen or twenty yards when a trooper gsiiojeu op ami ordered me to t bait and surrender. to which I gave a defiant answer, and dropping tiieebawl nd rag Ian from mv shoulders, advance! to ward him. lie leveled bis carbine ai me. bat I expected if be fired be would mia me, ud mr iuteutin was in Ibat event to lat my baud undt-r bis foot, tumble bioi oif on the other aide, apring into bis and die and attempt to escaie. My wifi. wbo had been watching, when she saw tbt soldier aim the carbine at me. ran forward and threw ber Arms around me. .Success depend ed on Instantaneous action, aud, recognizing that the opportunity had been lost, I turned back, and, tbe morning being damp and chilly passed on to A fire beyond tbe tent. Oor pursuers ; bad - taken aiiiereni roads, and approached our camp from onnoeite direction: tbey en- countered each other and coin- r w menrcd firngi both supposing they bad met our armed escort,and some caeualitiea resulted trom tui-ir con flict with an I imaginary body of Confederate troopti.
