Virginia Conference
--Sixth Day.--A resolution was adopted recommending the Union Seamen's Friend Society of Virginia to the favorable notice of the Churches and people of the Conference, and requesting the Bishop to re-appoint Rev. Francis J. Boggs as Chaplain for the port of Richmond and agent of the Society:
Rev. Dr. Doggett introduced the report of the publishing committee of the Richmond Christian Advocate, from which it appeared that the committee had faithfully discharged their duties, but had been compelled to borrow money from bank to meet the liabilities of the concern.
The close of the year showed that the office was still embarrassed, and that the subscription list had decreased about 560 names.
This had been attributed to the editorial management, and the laxity in that to the financial condition of the office.
It appeared that its profits during the past fiscal year were $570.15. The liabilities of the office were $8,019.30, and its assets in debts scattere

A Sepoy captive was so frightened in the India war that actually, under observation, within the space of half an hour, his hair became grey on every portion of his head; it having been, when first seen, of the glossy at black of the Bengali.

Opened for worship.
--The Seamen's Bethel was opened for divine worship, for the first time, on Sunday last, at 11 o'clock, and again at half-past 3 o'clock, the Rev. Francis J. Boggs officiating in both instances.
Collections were taken up in aid of the Bethel, with a fair result, considering the number of persons present.
We understand that the Chaplain has a heavy payment to meet this week for carpenters' work; and any help extended to him will therefore be thankfully received.
On next Sabbath, at 4 o'clock, the Bethel Sunday School will be organized, and there will be the usual services at 11 and 3½ o'clock that day.
Chaplain of the first Regiment.
--Rev. Francis J. Boggs, of this city, has been appointed to the Chaplaincy of the First Regiment Virginia Volunteers.
Commerce having been almost entirely suspended, there is little for Mr. Boggs to do at the Seamen's Bethel, while the camp and the field require the services of all Christian patriots, and our excellent fried readily responds to the call.
The appointment is a good one.

Chaplain of Seamen's Bethel.
--Rev. Francis J. Boggs, Chaplain in charge of the Seamen's Bethel, is now in service as Chaplain of the 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers.
For the time being he has doffed the habiliments of the plain citizen to assume warlike garments.
In whatever garb he may be clothed, the good of his fellow men is nearest his heart, and his walk and conversation is that of the Christian warrior, as well as gentleman.
Election of Captain.
--The Rev. Francis J. Boggs, who has heretofore held the post of Captain of the 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers, by appointment of Col. P. T. Moore, and who has, since the inauguration of the encampment at the Central Fair Grounds, been officiating with great acceptability as such, was yesterday unanimously chosen Captain of the 2d Company (H) of Richmond Grays, recently formed in this city — a post which he accepted at the earnest solicitation of its members, and whose duties he immediately proceeded to administer with the same earnest fidelity that marked his conduct in another sphere of usefulness.
Company H, No. 2, already, to a very great extent, efficiently uniformed and armed, will soon proffer their services to Governor Letcher.
The two companies of Grays comprise within their ranks enough men to form a battalion, which they will, no doubt, proceed to do after the war is ended.
The material of which they are respectively composed is of the best s
