The best one we had was on one lainy night. We had to go to I In house under umbrellas, and got wet be ides. Eight were there, and we had the lu-st niei ting that night. On December

I'.'th we bad many at the meeting, and among those thai were there was one who is everywhere, Ud visited us, and we had a glorious revival. Eighteen were 1 .inverted and thirteen joined the Asso ciation.

The onlv time we had no meeting was cm Christmas Eve, and then we regretted we had no meeting. The cause was that many of the Churches had Christmas trees! After that we increased more and more, and had many good meetings. W also had an anniversary 011 June 4th I70 few daw after, Messrs.

Sr. Louis, June 25.—The United States Land officers of the Brownsville, Springlield and I ronton Districts in this State, now here in consultation regarding the recpnt construct ion of the homestead and graduation law by the general land office at Washington, by which it is ordered that, nil parties making entries under the graduation law since the od of March, 1807, shall be ousted, unless they make proof of settlement and cultivation, or pay the difference in price within sixty days of dat of proper public notice. There are millions of acres of land in this State which have been entered at 12 cents an acre, and parties making such entries have failed 10 comply with the law. The intention of the government is to throw all the lands so forfeited by non compliance with the law, .into market, and as much of it as is claimed by non-residents. A great drawback to the settlement and development of the State is the result. The great object of consultation is to devise the best method of carrying into •fleet the provisions of the law recently interpreted,anil give new notice to claimants of land to make proper settlement.

Senator Howard this morning from the select Committee on the. memorial of Davis Hatch, presented a report concluding as follows:

The majority have come to a conclusion which thev announce with pleasure, that although it hxs been openly asserted in the Senate that General Babcoek was guilty of misconduct, they are ?ati?fied i'he charge is unfounded, and that he conducted himself throughout with perfect jhonesty'and sincerity. They look in vain for any evidence of any insincerity on his part, or any misstatement or prevarication. His whole conduct has been marked with Irutli, honor and fidelity, and the whole evidence leaves him with

a stain, and we would be untrue to our own convictions if we did not appL to Generals Ingalls and Sackett, who accompanied him, and indeed aided in the negotiations, like commendation, and we take pleasure in expressing our conviclion-, after weighing all the facts and circumstances within our knowledge, that its negotiation and preparation the treaty is free trom any fraud or unfairness,"and that the agents employed by the respective governments have all act-, ed with becoming frankness. It is not permissible in 11s to express ip ibis public manner an opinion of the merits ol fhe treaty or of the course which the Senate should adopt iu regard to it, butas agents engaged iu- its formation have been charged with corrupt motives and improper conduct, we deem it appropiiate to sav we deem the accusation unfounded.

The committee on review ot Hatch claims say, had lie been wantonly seized and subjected to a mere mock trial and condemned wTithout a hearing and with/.I.r testimony, in shovt, had he been

treated with manifest wantonness, tyranny and cruelty, they could not hesitate io recommend a demand for satisfaction, but the facts do not show that such wa* the chavaeter of proceedings, but tli.it they were 011 the contrary in accoi dance with the laws of the republic. The committee therefore see 110 ground tor tinbranch of his claim to prove the loss of his property. He presents no other evidence than his own statement, to v.hieh he has omitted to make oath. But to admit his statement as being true, it does not follow under ordinary circumstances I hat he has. a valid claim for damages which occurred as part ol the ordinary circumstances of war, because he was an admitted enemy of the Hue/, government.

According to the testimony of e\ commercial agent Smith, Mr. Hatch had en paoed in other illicit traffic atBaibara. 'ilie Spanish vessel Robert, consigned from St. Thomas to Mr. Hatch at Batbaia was undoubtedly engaged in illicit traffic, to which Mr. Hatch connived. She w:v seized, condemned and sold by the Dominican government. '1 hat a person so iluated should make reclamation against the government he was thus offending, would seem singular.

From what is beloie us we cannot piesnino that Mr. Hatch had or has now any ground for a claim for indemnilicaion?5 That he was damaged, is a fact which it is not. necessary to deny, ll his misfortune, growing out of his own fault, and without assuming to sav that he cun establish 110 .just claim against Ihe government of Dominica, we are constrained to say we are not able to see its justice, and that at. any rale his application to Congress in this belialt is ii-emature.
