He is one of the secretaries of the Misaiuiiary Society of jthe M. E. Church. addressed the Conference on subject of Missions, His address was ani mated thrilling will not soon be forgotten, and must tell favorably on that cause in this locality. In the course of.

hid remarks he siated the remarkable fact that the Moravian denomination of Christians the list year contiibuted missionary, purposes, while their membership only nnuabers 20,000, making $15 per member for the year, are known jn; the Christian world as the leading workers in the' mission field. This was not a special effort, but a continuation of their former zeal. It was also stated that the Wesleyan Methodists of England contributed $2, per member for their entire membership, including servants and others. Their benevolent interests shared in the same measure. This is far in advance of denomination in America, of which the writer has knowledge.

METHODISM IN WISCONSIN. i It is not known to all that the Methodist ministry permeates the entire state; that the itinerant preaches the Gospel to every considerable neighborhood within its limits. More than 300 pastors are annually sent forth, and their number is constantly increasing. The local, or unstationed ministry is fctill larger, to which if we add at least 1200 class leaders," who are also pastors, we have 2,000 of the best men in the denomination whose official and clearly defined work is to see to the f-piritual interests of the people. The peculiar institution of the church, class-meetings and lovefeasts, are calculated to train their converts, to an early aud ready co-operation with these 2000, which gives them a large array of active laborers in the field.

Their certain aud permanent pastorate is an element of power. Every minister who passes the ordeal of a conference examination, is sure of a and every congregation is sure of a pastor. The time lost in the change of pastors is very inconsiderable, and both parties begin a new career with fresh hopes of new conquests for the cause they serve. It is found by experience that the Hineraat system of preaching the gospel is particularly to the North-West, and affords.on an average the largest and most certain pastorates. Combinirg several neighboi hoods in a circuit, or mission, the minister is supported without so high a tax on the people or Iho missionary treasury, and the LOCAL, MATTERS.

The remainder of the JOth and 13th Ohio were brought into action, successively, "by Gen.

Benham, and the. 6th afterwards by Capt. HartBuff, whose object' was announced to be reoon noisnce. The enemy played npon jour force terrifically with musketry, rifled can-nister and" shell, causing t-ome casualities. CoL'Lytle led severalj companies o( his Irish to charge the battery, when he brought, down by, a shot in the leg.

Smith's 13th Ohio engaged the enemy on the left, and Col. Lowe's 12th Ohio directly in front. Lowe tell dead at the head of his regiment early in. the day, in the tot-test fire, by a ball in the McMullen's howitzer battery, and Snyder's two field pieces meantime were into the best position possible under(the circumstances, and soon silenced two of the rebel guns.
