New Albany, June 6, 18GG. .Dear Journal: . . . - . . , -John1 G.lSaxe has sung to us ' most delightfully of the pleasure of " riding on a rail " 4 Passing through the ridges, Rattling over bridges," . but we havejyet to read the poem deBcriptiveJJof the satisfaction one experiences in taking a trip up our beautiful river at this season of the year. On the river there is none of the dust that blinds and chokes the traveler on the cars. However warm may be the weather, the motion of the boat so invites the breeze that comfort remains an abiding guest. There is plenty of room to nove about. We' can .sit up, or lie down, as we prefer." If we are languid or tired we can recruit our energies witft a luxirJous nap. Sociability is always the rule on a steamer. p It h rather r the exception on the cars."

If, again, we prefer "to retire within ourselves," and " hold converse sweet" with the ' past ' or '' journey into the dream land of the future, how delightful to take a position on the guards vof . a good steamer, at that witching hour when twi light closes the eye of day.

A trip up the Umo is iamihar to most of the J ourn al's readers. Were it not so, a more poetic brain than ours would be required to potray the beautiful scenery that greets the beholder at every bend of the river.' The hills, rocks and varigated foilage that fringe the banks of the Ohio display ing a wealth of emerald greeu. of every shade and hue and romantic nooks and coves,are well calculated to entrap lovers into entangling alliancesj while they charm and soothe those in whom years have dampened the fires of youth. - ' '-.- ! . - Our , trip was pleasant, because we had a most agreeable and sociable company.

The first session of the Convention was held in the Second Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evening. It developed a smaller number of delegates in attendance than was pleasant to contemplate. ; Since then, however the number has been continually on the increase.

part of the day ; yesterday. A The absence of nearly every" member of the Executive Committee appointed at the last .session, .was; .unfortunate, and caused some little confusion and delay. ; The" new Business Committee, however, was on time with a report for the morning exercises, as soon as the devotional exercises were over. The following was the report aub mitted by the Committee, through its chairman, John F. Glover: Mr. President: The Committee on Business submit the following report: The Convention shall meet at 8 o'clock A. M. Thirty minutes to be pent in prayer. The business proper shall commence at 9 o'clock and close at 12 M." The Convention shall meet again at 2 P. M. and close at 5. The evening session shall commence at 8 p. m. "Each session shall be opened with devotional exercises. . ; . , The order of business shall be as follows: 1st. Reading of the minutes of the previous session. ; ,2d. Reading of correspondence. j ' 3d. Reports of committees. ; , The discussion of the following questions shall be had r-' - I. What is the' true relation of the Sabbath School to the Church? t . 2.. How may . we best secure the hearty : co-operation of: the entire Church membership?' j 3. How 6hall we make the common teaching in our Sunday Schools more efficient?. , , ' j 4. How may we better secure the attendance of both teachers and scholars upon public worship? .' !J., In the discussions or the questions no person shall be permitted to speak more than once! on each question, until all the members, who desire it, shall1 have spoken:' and that each speaker .be confined to ten minutes.--The. Committee was too liberal " in its allowance ,of time in. the discussion of questions, and the result only tended to confirm them in that opin ion,,' ! The people of the United States are emphatically a talking people. Theyw love to talk, , We ' apprehend that much of the interest in our great political and religious gatherings grows out of this-leve to talk.;? In the discussion of the questions yesterday, the widest latitude was taken, and but little effort made to confine the speakers to the questions under consideration. The committee whose duty it i8 to collect these speeches and sift out the ideas from the words, and. express them in the form .of resolutions, have a work of no ordinary magnitude be fore them. That committee is designed to represent Churches of all the denominations, and consists of the fol lowing gentlemen: Daniel Bice j New School Presbyte rian, Lafayette ; J. Thrush, Methodist Episcopal, Lafayette; G.F. Pentecost, Baptist, Evansville; J. D. Carmichael, Old School Presbyterian, Indianapolis ; Dr. Blair, Reformed Presbyterian, Princeton ; J. sc. Henry, Christian, New jAlbany;7B.iF. WUiUnited Brethren, Indianapolis; B. F. Reed, Society of Friend Richmond; J. F. Freidger, Luthern, New Albany; B. C.f Phelp's;Cnmb,erland 'Presbyterian, Newburg;;".-1;1'.:;.;'.;:;!1 "r'l"1.) But while; we " apeak? asJ above of some ;of ; the: speeches, many, of them were exactly to the point, and :ebn"tained valuable euegestioasifor SabW"(i i: - ' '-''-v ' - '- Dain ncnooi omcers ana teacners. Experiences in-the management of schools and In teaching were given,! which contained "many'valuable hint? for young, laborers, and profitable suggestions for . those , who have not en-: joyed ! good facilities , for keeping up , with the improvements which are tak ing place in the Sabbath Schools all over the country. The- first thing ' that- came ; up for consideration in the afternoon was the selecting of a place : for holding the 'next.. Convention.; Considerable interest was felt , in this-Richmond, Lafayette) Logansport and Bloomington being competitors;;:;'-' The claims 'of each town and city were presented in their most favorable light, and three votes taken, jresulting .in the almost unanimousehoice of Lafayette. A Mass Meeting of the Sabbath School children of New Albany was agreed upon for this (Thursday) afternoon, at 3 o'clock, at the First Presbyterian Church. . . . As we have remarked before, the greater part of ithe time of.'the Convention is consumed in the discussion of the various questions submitted by the Committee on Business, the result of which will, we presume, be embodied in a report by the Committee on . Resolutions.' Considerable feeling was displayed in discussing some of these questions, and great interest was manifested by the entire audience in , .remarks.! that 'were made;. ; ' ' ' - -- ,i - The"' evening session was set apart for the reading of correspondence, the hearing of reports from the Sabbath Schools, and miscellaneous remarks.

The church was 'crowded, and more animation ""was "displayed by alTpresent than we have witnessed at any of the other sessions. As usual, the finances were reported behindhand, and Mr. Glover, of our city, took the trouble to bring the matter up. It was found that three hundred and fifty dollars were wanted to make the Convention square with the world ; and, after a little talk, and leading off with a liberal donation himself, he succeeded in raising from three hundred and seventy-five to four hundred dollars. The delegates, no doubt, feel under obligations to him for his promptness and efficiency in this work. Intersperced with the speeches and business of the Convention, the committee on music favored the Convention with songs, in which the entire congregation generally participated. At some other time your correspondent will give his impressions of New Albany and its future. Time will not allow this until after the close of the Convention. :';., F.

of one ojMwo of. theClergy, and several Lay Delegates. The Committee on credentials theu reported, approving of all the certificates of Delegates laid before them, and adding Dr. T. Runcie, of Trinity Church, Vanderburgh County, to the number of Lay Delegates. ; It being then in order, the Chairman made a few remarks on the unavoidable absence of the Senior Bishop, Right Rev. George Upfold, D.D.HL.L.D., after which he read a brief address of Bishop Upfold to the Convention. It was expressive of his deep regret in being withheld, by the Providence of God, from his wonted place among the clergy of the diocese when for sixteen years he presided over their deliberations.' He assured the Convention of the great Interest he took in its present actions, and as sured it of his earnest prayer that God's Holy Spirit would direct its counsels for the welfare of the Church and the greater glory of God. The Assistant Bishop then' proceeded to read his own address. After an affectionate reference to his old connection with some of the members of the ; Convention, as a brother tak ing : part 'in their deliberations,; he alluded to his personal position as a father over them in. the Lord, He then gave the practical results of his work and observation ;iu the diocese. It was a clear and masterly exhibi tion of the wants of the diocese, what can and; should be done. On the con elusion of the address, Gep. Love, of Indianapolis, offered a resolution as suring Bishop Upfold of the! sincere regrets of the ' Convention for :the cause oi his absence, and its prayers for his recovery. ! Adopted. " Rev.'
