Bislop McCoskrey has withdrawn ins leuer or resignation, aim win io tried by the House of Bishops upon charges preferred by the Diocese of Michigan. He has addressed a letter to the Presiding Bishop, in:which he reiterates his emphatic denial of the scandaloqs allegations, and asks for a trial in accordance with the canons. VVhen he has been vindicated he will resign on account of increasing phy sical infirmities (he was born in 1804,) and will go to Europe. . When the two assassins attempted to murder the Emperor of Germany, on the 1 1th inst., tiring Beveral shots at him, the brave old Kaiser did not blench for a moment, but withstood the firo with great coolness.

Granted with pleasure. It is beautiful to see how the mem bers of the Conference, Bishops and all, seem to love this old man. He has been a hero in the history of Southern Methodism.

' : - ; The delegation present ' ia V about 250,; though there are perhaps 100 more prominent ministers and lay men of Baptist churches in attend ance. . . ' . iDariBg the organization some very affecting speeches were made by several veterans in the ministry: Dr. J B. J eter, of Virginia ; Mr. Kimbrp, of Tennessee ; Mr. Plaster, of Ten nessee, and others. These good old nien brought up the scenes of former services Of the Convention, especially one held in Nashville in 1851 twenty -siven years ago. Thev spoke with great pathos and power, of the fathers, Drs. Fuller, Howell, Manly, oindexter, Wm. T. Broaddus, Daw son and many others, who have gone home to glory, and urged the younger ministers of the body' to emulate the virtues which had so eminently dis tinguished them. . . i I Dr. H. A. Tupper read the report of Foreign Missions. The receipts of this cause have been $40,000 1 du ring the year present liabilities of the Board about $4,500, The Chi nese and African Missions were re ported in a prosperous condition. The Italian Mission has ten stations ahd twelve evangelists. - Thirty-two persons have been baptized during te year, and a chapel has at last been purchased in Rome, at a cost of $f6,000. . , , J The Seminary was removed from Greenville, S. C, to Louisville, Ky., last summer, and the first year of its hjstory iu its - new location is most gratifying to its friends. Last term it! had ninety students, more by twenty-two than it ever had before, and more than any other Baptist Theolo gical school has in this country. The number. of students from the Atlantic States has not fallen off, as was feared, by! its removal to Kentucky, and the actual cost of living in Louisville is fpttnd to be less than at Greenville. The Seminary provides furnished dor mitories for the students, and has aisled with board and half the expense of text books fifty-two young minis ters, at an expense of nearly four thousand dollars. - : The report of the Home Mission Board was no less encouraging. Dr. Mcintosh is doing a great work in the destitute sections of our own land. I iVisitors were welcomed, and Dr. Lasher, of Ohio, and Dr. Fulton and Smith Shelton, Esq., of New York, responded, and were received as mes sengers from the North.

Addressing himself to the negroes present on Wednesday in the court room, being called; to pass sentence .on a negro criminal, he told them that 4hey must quit stealing that there was one thousand of them, in the penitentiary for! this crime, to feed aid clothe whom it cost $125,000 a year; the 'costs altogether, 'including jail fees, court costs, &c, reaching fully $500,- U00 per annum; that if they didn't do bet ter the whipping post would! be re-established thought it likely that wonld be done anyhow and, finally, .if they didnt stop, stealing the white people, after having ex hausted all peaceable means for redress, would rise up and. exterminate the negro race.".

', ' Several of our citizens, are complaining that their hedges of evergreens which adorn their front yards are being utterly destroyed by a'species of bog which has gotten among themv. The trunks and branches in most instances are ; literally --covered' jwith J' a whitish, mealy substance, andthe shrub bery thus attacked gradually wilts and dies. These destructive insects have gotten among the shrubbery" in three different ' lots on Princess, between Fifth and Sixth streets, those of Dr. Cobb and MessrsV C. H. Bis. singer and A: Deumelandt, and in that of the, .former their ravages have been very extensive, threatening the complete destruc tion of the plants. ; As the infliction may become general, it would be well for those who are versed in suck matters to institute 'an investigation and find out some way of getting rid of these pests.- They are very accurately described in the following from a work known as Bute? a 'American Flower Garden Direcfprynoi Ja the absence of other remedies it would be well to give a trial to the one therein set forth. It says: "Cocuthasperidua, or mealy bug, has ap peared in the hot houses' about Philadel phia within these : few years, and, if not instantly destroyed, increases ' rapidly, it is of a white dusty color; when broken, of a brownish - red, generally covered with down, under which it deposits its eggs; and they, in a few months,' come forth "in great numbers. The cocus generally is of a dor mant nature, but in warm weather they may be seen rapidly moving up the. stems of jlhe plants. Fumigating has no observ able effect ou these insects; therefore," as soon as they appear recourse must ' be bad to other means. - The liquid ' made from the following receipt is death to any of the cocus tribe: Take two pounds of strong soap, one pound of-flour-of -sulphur, one pound of leaf tobacco, one and a half ounce of nux vomica,, with a tablespoon of turpentine, which boil in four gallons of river water to three, then set aside to cool. When boiling, stir it well with a stick, con tinuing to do so until it is reduced as above. In this liquor immerse the whole plant, drawing it to and fro gently, that the liquor may penetrate everywhere. . . This done, lay the plant on its side, until it begins to dry, then syringo well with clean water, and put it in itsrespUvelation.JV'here a collection of plants is free from any insects of the kind, every plant that is introduced ought to be minutely scrutinized; that the unclean may be kept from the clean.
