An Ohio Bai!le-FIag In the Hands OF
Bishop.

The recent session of the Pittsburg
Annual Conference Of the Methodist
Protestant Church, says the New York
Tribune, was characterized by an Incl.
dent of patriotic and thrilling interest
Bishop SIMPSON followed the introduc-
tory exercises with speech, an hour
and half long, without manuscript, in
which he held his vast audience Of cul-
tivated Christian gentlemen, spell
bound, under his discussion of the four
questions Shall orr Government be
destroyed and swept from the Earth
Can we be divided into two or more
Governments? Shall we have a new
form of Government Is not the Ma
ton to rise out of its present. troubles
better, iirmer, and more powerful p
During tie whole of the address of this
wonderful orator, the assembly, in deep
silence, hung upon his lips, save when
applause was struck out OF them as with
blows of magnetism. But a scene en-
sued, in the delivery of his peroration,
that will make this Conference memor-
able to every one who attended it An
eye witness says:
"Laying his hands on the torn and
ball-riddled colors of the 73d Ohio. no
spoke of the battle fields where they
had been baptized in blood, and de-
scribed their beauty as some small patch
of azure, filled with stars, that an angel
had snatched from the heavenly canopy
to set the stripes in blood With this
description began scene that Demos
themes might have envied. All over
the vast assembly handerchiefs and
hats were waved, and before the speaker
sat down, the whole throng arose, as by
a magic. influence, and screamed, and
shouted, and saluted, and stamped, and
clapped, and wept, and laughed in wild
excitement Colonel Moody sprang to
the top of a bench and called for the
Star Spangled Banner, which was sung,
or rather shouted, until the audience
dispersed. as it had to disperse."

How MOsby was Wounded.

The Washington Republican Of yes

"On Thursday, September 18th, a
portion of the Thirteenth New y ork
cavalry started from their quarters at
Falls Church on n scout with three
days rations After scouting for six
days, living on the enemys country,
they heard Of Mosbys Whereabouts.
The commanding officer of the Thir-
teenth caused q number of his men TO
disguise themselves as guerrillas.
This party came up with Mosby, who
was entirely taken in by the ruse, near

becoming weakened by the loss OF
blood, he concealed himself and party
in one of his numerous lurking places
until out of danger, and then WAS
placed in an ambulance and sent on TO
Richmond.
These facts, elected from an officer
participating in the engagement, are
corrobOrated by residents in the neigh
borhOod Of the skirmish. This is the
second time that Mosby has been
wounded by the Thirteenth il ia sup
posed that his present wound, If not
mortal will incapacitate him from ever

Il IS now asserted in q Louisville des.

TO General Sherman, and that the
denial of this statement By Eastern
correspondents. has no foundation in
truth. What the nature of these pro-
positions is remains TO be seen. As We
showed the otherday by citations from
their language, Governor Brown and
Linton Stephens, OF Georgia, have
favored propositions of peace upon the
basis Of free yOte of the people of the
States concerned; and it isVery evident

The Politics Of the NerhOdlsts.

The Pittsburgh Annual Conference
has just uttered the feelings and poll
tics of the entire body of Methodist
Protestants in the United States, in
five patriotic resolutions, unanimously
passed. Here they are, bugle-toned and
CHEEKY:
ReS0ired, That this Conference does
hereby declars its Loyalty to the Gov
ernment Of the United States, and its
approval of the Administration Of
Abraham Lincoln in his efforts to over
throw the Rebellion and maintain the
cause of the Union.
RcS0ytea, That whatever may have
been the design OF the Shareholders of
the South in bringing on this great
Rebellion, in our judgment, God is per.
mitting this war in order TO purify this
nation from her sins-especially the
great sin of Slavery, which we hold to
have been the main cause of the Re
bellion.
ReSolged, That the Emancipation Pro-
clamation is hereby indorsed 10y this
Conference, and 1t Is our prayer that
the President, by judicious manage
ment, the power of his armies, and the
help of the Almighty, may be able to
carry it into practical effect in all the
Rebel States.
ResoEred, That party politics, in our
judgment, should never be allowed to
interfere with our allegiance to the
Government of our country, and we
hereby advise oil our people to be faith
full to the Administration in all its
efforts to maintain the Union, constant
ly praying for the Government and the
success of our armies.
ReSohed, That we desire peace
growing out of the salvation of our
Government, based upon the principles
of immutable righteousness, in order
that the Christian religion may take a
frmer hold than heretofore on the
