We were going, as a people, very far wrong in this respect. On this day, at every Court-House in Virginia, nearly every man wore a weapon in his breast. This was not right. (A voice, "It is cowardly;" other voices, "No, it is not.") He had frequent occasion to mention this subject to his classes at College, and he thought that throughout the Conference ministers should use their influence against the practice. The Bishop said that he had felt compelled to use such influence in Alabama, which, as he had said before, was Virginia revised, corrected, and beautified. (Laughter) He differed, however, with some members of the Conference, in regard to learning the use of firearms. He thought that not only men and boys, but ladies, should learn their use, so as to make them effectual for prote

In this body, on Thursday, during the examination of character, remarks were made by Bishop Paine and Dr. Lee on the importance of pastoral visits and attention to the minute interests of the Church: The supernumerary list was then called for the examination of character, and the name of J S R Clark called. Upon the examination of Mr. Clark, Rev. Mr. Langhorne said that Mr. Clark had united himself with the Knights of the Golden Circle; had lectured in behalf of that order at Farmville, and become a chaplain of the organization, carrying a weapon, and in that way injuring the dignity of a minister of the Gospel. Mr. Clark declined to answer unless evidence was produced. It appeared upon diccussion that there had been some mistake in regard to his carrying weapons. The discussion of the general subject by Messrs. Langhorne, Doggett, Rowzie, August and others, occupied much time, during which. The subject of preachers carrying arms being alluded to, Bis

Several ministers testified as to the occasional necessity for the carrying of weapons by ministers, especially on the Mexican frontier, where there were bands of men sworn to kill every American they met. Rev. Mr. Langhorne said, after what he had learned at Conference, he would, when he got home to Lynchburg, buy a revolver. (Laughter) Rev. Mr. Edwards said that the character of Mr. Clark was excellent, and the object of his going to Mexico as a Knight of the Golden Circle, would have been to carry there a pure Gospel. Rev. Dr. Smith said that any expression of this Conference on the subject, would have no reference to the approval or disapproval of the Knights of the Golden Circle. He thought the practice of carrying arms by ministers should be countenanced only on the basis suggested by Bishop Paine. We were going, as a people, very far wrong in this respect.

The subject of preachers carrying arms being alluded to, Bishop Paine said that it was a common thing for ministers to carry weapons in Texas, either open or concealed. This enabled them to protect not only themselves, but the families with whom they were staying. The sight of a rifle would frequently scare off a cowardly Mexican or Indian. He had never carried such weapons, but he should carry one whenever he deemed it necessary. Several ministers testified as to the occasional necessity for the carrying of weapons by ministers, especially on the Mexican frontier, where there were bands of men sworn to kill every American they met.
