Proceedings of the Methodist Annual Conference. [reported for the Richmond Dispatch.] Saturday Morning, Nov. 23. Conference met at 9 o'clock. Bishop Andrew in the Chair. Rev. R. O. Burton conducted religious exercises. Comparatively few ministers were present when I entered the room at 9 ½ o'clock. Bishop Andrew announced the receipt of a telegram from Rev. Dr. Sehen, dated at Bristol, announcing his speedy arrival, and requesting that the Missionary anniversary might be postponed until Monday evening.--That order was made. The Bishop announced as the first business the examination of preachers who had traveled two years as deacons, and who are eligible to Elder, orders. The modus operandi of this examination is, the Bishop calls the name of the party, when the Presiding Elder under whose direction he traveled the preceding year, speaks to the question of deportment and talent as a preacher, and general efficiency; and the chairman of a committee charged with

preachers. Enoch G. Jameson, formerly of the Baltimore Conference, made application for admission into this Conference. The application was not passed upon, but laid over until another day. When Dr. Doggett's name was called, he made a few remarks explanatory of the effects of the war upon the churches within the bounds of the Richmond District, alluding to the partial paralysis of various Church enterprises, and to the actual blotting out of one appointment — that at the town of Hampton — and closing with a personal allusion, asking to be remitted from the position of Presiding Elder and assigned to other work. When Rev. James A. Duncan's name was called, before retiring he gave a brief account of his action as acting editor of the Richmond Christian Advocate, of the difficulties of procuring paper, and the prospective plans for its future publication. Dr. Doggett gave very warm commendations to the several preachers stationed in Richmond, viz: W. W. Bennett, Jam

For lack of this, we are getting now and then young men for whom we can find no work who are entirely unfitted for any place in our bestowal. Dr. Wm. A. Smith introduced to the Bishop and Conference Dr. Jonnings, a Presiding Elder of the Alabama Conference, now a chaplain in the Confederate army and attached to the third Alabama regiment. A. C. Bledsoe, Westey C. Vaden, John W. Tucker, and George N. Guy were admitted on trial in the traveling connection. These young men were called up by the Bishop and examined publicly before the Conference. This examination was, in a large measure, devoted to an inquiry into the personal experience of these persons, their familiarity with the rules of the Church and their purpose to devote themselves wholly and unreservedly unto the work of the ministry. The questions were interspersed continually with counsels and exhortations pertinent.

Cowles preached an appropriate sermon from the words, "Knowing the terrors of the Lord, we persuade men," and afterwards Bishop Andrew, aided by sundry Elders, ordained the following persons as Elders: S. S. Lambeth, J. S. Porter, Jno. H. Payne, W. G. Hammond, Thos. H. Early, Jno. J. Lafferty, Ro. N. Sledd, Ro. W. Watts, Aaron Boone, Jas. W. Blincoe, Corlin Jordan, Nelson Chamberlin, Arthur C.

Bennett, all of whom gave great satisfaction to the several audiences addressed by them. Bishop Andrew was to have preached at Granby street Church at night, but found himself physically incapable of the effort, and the pulpit was o

That, upon the concurrent testimony of sundry preachers, was all right. On the motion of Dr. Lee, a committee of three was appointed to prepare resolutions expressive of the sympathy of the Conference with the Methodists in the Valley of Virginia connected with the Baltimore Annual Conference. Committee--Messrs. Lee, Granberry, and Davis. Rev. Nelson Head was subsequently added by special motion. Dr. Lee called attention to certain debts of the Richmond Depository, and requested that those indebted to the concern would on Monday pay him all or part of their indebtedness, to enable him to pay at least the interest upon the outstanding indebtedness of the concern.
