All honor to their memory. Among those who distinguished themselves was Adjt. Geo. L.

Captains Cowles, McCullough, Mastick, Howards, Ensign, and Davis were marked instances of bravery and efficiency upon the field, and reflected great credit upon themselves and their commands. Capt.

some misunderstanding. The charge cost us heavily in killed and wounded. General Sherman led the attack in person, and fell severely wounded in the leg. General Neal Dow was also wounded. Colonel Clarke, of the Sixth Michigan, was killed. Colonel Cowles, of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth New-York, also, by a bayonet thrust; Lieutenant-Colonel Smith of the Zouaves, severely wounded. The Sixth Michigan and One Hundred and Twenty-eight New-York have each lost about half their effective men,the entire affair is over, and perhaps it is better that we should not. The following are those we have heard from: killed.--General Chapin, no confirmation as yet, General Nickerson, no confirmation as yet; Colonel Clarke, Sixth Michigan; Colonel Cowles, One Hundred and Twenty-eighth New-York, by a bayonet wound; Colonel Payne, Second Louisiana, white regiment; Colonel----, Thirtieth Massachusetts; Captain Hubbard, on General Weitzel's staff. wounded.--General T.

should be thoroughly prepared to go forth to their own earnestly aggressive Christian work. But to aid in organizing such a community, the presence and culture and grace of Christian women would be requisite. Most fortunate, was it, then, that, when such a movement was projected, this needed agency was not wanting. To make no mention of other gifted Christian women, who were counted worthy to engage in such a work,--though such names as those of Mrs. Shipherd, and Mahan, and Finney, and Cowles, may well claim no small share in this noble enterprise,--it was peculiarly providential that such a woman as Mrs. Dascomb was then ready, both in literary attainment, and in every most needed social quality, to give herself to the work. And it is not saying too much that she was ready also for the consecration. Without reservation she entered the service, which, with no abatement of zeal, she has pursued and honored until now. Nor is it claiming too much to say that her reward has been

members of the Church were stingy. He was, himself, the best witness of their liberality, but he did believe that many men, even within the sound of his voice, loved money more than they ought. The report and resolutions were adopted. Rev. Mr. McCauley and Rev. Mr. Lemon, of the Baltimore Conference, were introduced. The Conference then took up the order of the day, the report of the committee on the exhibit of the Richmond Christian Advocate. The committee, through Rev. Dr. Cowles, reported that, after careful consideration, they found that the Advocate is barely self-sustaining, if indeed it be not conducted at a loss. They recommend that each preacher make annual reports to the Conference of the subscription lists within the bounds of his charge. They also recommend that the expenditures be confined within the most economical limits; that the Clerk's salary be but $500; the free list abolished, and papers furnished to preachers at $1.25 per annum, with an all

on these instrumentalities depended, to a great degree, the vitality and peculiarity of the Church. He knew of no remedy, and desired, in opening, to express the wish that the Presiding Elders would speak especially upon this subject. Rev. Mr. Cowles asked if it was not the duty of Presiding Elders to lead class meetings in their Districts?. Rev. Dr. Doggett did not think it was. He thought that the duties of the different classes of the ministers of the Church were well defined, and he believed that the great ends of the Church could be best obtained by each one doing his whole duty within the limits of his work. Rev. Mr. Cowles thought that Wesley and Asbury had lead class meetings, and that it would be well for all preachers to follow their example. Rev. Dr. Doggett said that he had held class many times as pastor, but never as Presiding Elder. Rev. Mr. Bennett bore testimony of the zeal, ability, and efficiency of Dr. Doggett as Presiding Elder of his D

t North Carolina cavalry has been in a fight at last; and a brilliant little affair it was. Indeed, it is said to have been the most brilliant foray of the war; and, as one of the participants in the charge, I will endeavor to give you a report of the whole affair. On the morning of the 25th instant a large body of Federal cavalry, numbering over 100, dashed down upon our pickets, stationed along, or near, a stream known as "Difficult Run, " about eight or nine miles from our camp. Lieut. Cowles, company A, commanding the post, seeing their approach, gave our signal, but they not returning it properly, he ordered his command present to fire upon them. A few shots were fired--one of which, we have since learned, took effect, breaking the leg of a Yankee, and wounding his horse. They immediately wheeled and fled — that is, the Yankees — and made sundry extravagant reports along their route returning to their camp. As it was evident that large bodies of them had been prowlin

The stampede at Bridgeport. Mr. Cowles, who returned to Macon from Chattanooga yesterday, gives a deplorable account of the Confederate stampede at Bridgeport, by which a most important gateway to Georgia was opened to the enemy, and the possession of all our rich mineral deposits of coal, iron, and saltpetre placed in imminent danger. A guard of about 200 men had been placed by General Leadbetter on the western end of the bridges at Bridgeport. These are two in number, resting for their termini upon an island in the middle of the river, and distant about thirty miles from Chattanooga. On Tuesday last word was brought to Gen. Lead better at Chattanooga, that the enemy was advancing and had in the pickets of the guard stationed at the bridges. Accordingly, Gen. L. started for the scene of action with a special train, taking with him reinforcements to the number of 300 men. Soon after his arrival the enemy approached to the number, as was supposed, of ten to fifte
