I , Methodist Episcopal Church. ' From an able and interesting letter written by Rev. Dr. Duanur, and published in the National Magazine, we glean the folic wing important facts relative to the organization and unparalleled growth of Methodism in the United States. The . accom panying table will be found exceedingly interesting to Christians of every denomination, and valuable for reference. The Methodist Episcopal Church was not organ ized in this country until 1784, at which time there were about 13,000 members and 100 preachers.— The Missionary Society of the Church was formed about 'thirty years agoi,and the 'contributions of the membership to this cause average about twenty-one cents each. The whole number of communicant members in the Church, now reach I,2oo,ooo—and estimating three hearers to one communicant in each congrega tion, there are 4,800,000 people composing the 'congregations and families of the Methodist Epis copal. Church in the U. States—being . about one sixth of the entire population of the States and Ter ritories. The Dr: concludes his letter as follows About two months ,since I said, in a public mis sionary discourse, that the Methodist communion, taken as a whole body, was the wealthiest Church in this country. This declaration was received with great surprise, general incredulity, and come little censure. A. few weeks afterward, an abstract of the returns of the census of the United States, ta ken by the General GoveKnment in 1850, was pub lished, in which my opinion was fully sustained.— It was ordered that the value of the property of each church should be returned in the census: the value of the property of the several churches may be fairly taken as an index of wealth of their xe spective populations. This being the rule of esti mate, we find the census returns make the Metho dist Church the wealthiest in the land. I will give the whole table, and ask attention to the fourth col umn) headed," Total value of church property:" Deensli.tualu ;030,878, 296 050 795,177 181,926 625,219 108.6115 282,923 158'632 BaP iT l ' i CEir rt, Epicepti, trite, Friend., derma., Fleditemel letettb.

The general opinion his been that the Methodist Church is not rich, nay even' is poor, because but few remarkably rich 'persons are found in her communion. But we do not note the Vast nuifiber of her members, viz: twelve hundred thousand, and the vast numbers besides' that com pi:6e her congregations. The wealth of the whole body distributed among so many hundreds of thods ands does not attract attention. in any one church, or city, or town, as is the case oftentimes in other churches. The great wealth of individuals' in some other churches, and their munificent donation', to: gether with the grandeur of their church edifices, attract public attention. In the Methodist Church this is rarely, if (tier the case. Our people, con sidered individually as persons or churches, are not wealthy ; but being sober and industrious, most of them have sulnitance, and many of them are rich, and the aggregate wealth of so large a body is very great. This explains how we are, contrary to com mon opinion, the wealthiest Church in the country, as shown by the census of the 'United States. - I am aware that there wit be some incredulity still on this Subject, particularly in- the Eastein States. Perhapsthis may be partly removed by the following fact: our Church in the West and South is vety far richer iii proportion than in the East.— Our people were In the West from the beginning, and grew up with the country, and increased in wealth with the wealth of the country. The great est part of the wealth of the Methodist Church is in the West and South. She will shortly come to understand this matter, and act accordingly. The conclusion of the whole matter is this : the Church can never fulfil, as she ought, her great mission, until the contributions of her people shall be as general as the distribution of her wealth among them. Now the great mass of our people do not contribute to any of the general or extraor dinary objects among us, except the penny or shil lnqg they throw into the public collection on the occasion. The well being of the Church, the bet ter and more steady support of her ministry, and of all her great enterprizes, call upon'her pastors and leading members to use their best and perse vering endeavors to train our people to a regular and tinteinatic support of all our Church enterpri ;es, according to the ability of each one. This is the secret of the great success of our Wesleyan brethren in England in their financial affairs; and will explain how the Roman Catholic Church in this country creates such splendid church edifices,' schools, and colleges. Every man, woman, and child contributes systematically; according to the ability of each. They do not receive large sums of money from Europe, as is supposed by many ; the money is contributed by themselves hero in our midst. Let the Methodists talc.; note and learn.—. Thousands of them read your pages i I present these thoughts for their reflection Yours, &c., SMITH O'Bants.—A letter. from this illustrious exile, to the Dublin Nation, calls to mind his sad and unmerited fate. He speaks like a man; his sentiments are still noble, patriotic, sublime. The vile treatment of his unworthy toe has not in the least tainted his noble mind. Alluding to the re mark of Lord Eglinton, that "none of the persons in whose behalf my interference is solicited, have expressed contrition for flair crimes, or manifested any sense of gratitude or loyalty to the gracious Sovereign whom they have so grievously offended, and to whose clemency some of them are indebted for their lives," he says: "If it be a crime to have loved the land of my fathers with a fanatic affection, then I am a crimi nal. if it be a crime to have devoted to the wel fare of that land a life of unremitting toil, then I am a criminal. It it be a crime to have foregone for its sake every object of personal . ambition, and., what I prize still more, the endearments of domes tic associations in the happiest of homes, then I am a criminal. If it be a crime to have encounter ed for its sake every sort of obloquy and danger, then I am a criminal. If it be a crime to have stooped for its sake to solicitations from the British Parham. nt galling alike .to personal and national pride, then I am a criminal. If it be a crime, when I found peaceful remonstrance unavailing, to have incited my countrymen to appeal to that final ar bitrament which even England can honor in Hun garian failure and in American success, then I am a criminal. If it be a crime to have desired to win the freedom and independence of my country with the least possible amount of bloodshed, and with total abstinence from revolutionary excesses, then lam a criminal. Were I in the presence of my Maker, I could not acknowledge as a crime this de votion to Ireland. How, then, can I express con trition for, it to that government which has been, both directly and indirectly, both in times far re mote and in the days of its recent calamity, the agent to which it owes its oppression and desola tion." tt The oldest son of Queen Victoria begins to exhibit military talent, and has received an appoint ment as General or Major.

The Great Rallroad-Accident: NEWSPAPER ec6itryrs OF THE CALAMITY We copy from the Chicago Tribune of the 26th inst., the following details of the recent heart-rend ing calamity, heretofore announced by telegraiE: Tussosi Mossirro, 2: o'clock, A. M. The express train which left this city at nine o'clock last night, on the Southern Michigan Road. came in collision at the crossing, abaut eight miles out, with an emigrant and freight train coming in to Chicago on the Michigan Central Railroad.. The locomotive of the express train struck the sixth car, filled with passengers, and in a:moment the locomotive tender, baggage car and one second .class car of the expiess train, together with three emigrant cars of the Michigan. Central train, were a heap of ruins. On the northerly side of the Central,track one first class passenger cur was thrown upon its side, and groans and cries assailed the ears of those who hastened from the rest of the first class cars which retained their position. Those in the car were aided to escape the contusion, and from the danger of suf focation, and it was found that none were danger ously injured, though several received severe bruises. The scene which presented itself upon the other side of the Central track cannot be fully described, and time will not efface the memory of that terri ble and heart-rending spectacle from the mind of the unwilling beholder. We saw a heap of ruins, from beneath which shrieked out upon the midnight air, cries for help mingled in strange discord with the'deeper toned groans of 'the dying. One by one those who were able, crawled out from the rubbish, while the unin jured were fully employed in rendering assistance to those unable to extricate themselves. . . Each moment the scence became, if possible, more heart-rending. Here sat a poor woman with a broken limb, and her little daughter stood by her side, weeping for assistance. There lay a young German, dead,lis sister by his side, wringing h'r band, and crying" mein bruder, mein bruder!"— Here a child crying "0, my father ;^ there a wo man wailing for the loss of her infant. A woman dead, her mangled features but partially conce_led by a cloak, and at her side only a faithful dog. Three children, from three to ten years of age, were taken from the water, and placed side by side. At the head of one sat the bereaved father. The one came to claim the other two. An infant was picked out of the ruins unharmed but no mother could be found for it. Those most dangerously injured were conveyed into the unharmed cars, and rendered as comforta ble as possible. With some the struggle between life and death seemed uncertain. 345,810 7,91302 4,090.730 11,281,910, 252,2561 1,709,9571 985 850. 371,800 a 887, 9850 In this place was exhibited the.-kindness of wo• man's nature, and the sympathy of many a true heart found expression in timely action. It was the general opinion that from 12 . to 15 bodies lay beneath the ruins, though it was impos• sible to ascertain with any accurracy. Four bodies had been taken out. From 50 to 60 were serious ly injured, and some of these cannot recover. The emigrants on the Central road suffered the most. The cause of this collision, rarely if ever equal led in its fatal and terrible results, is beyond con jecture. The night was bright as nearly a hill moon and the clearest atmosphere could make it. The two roads cross each other at nearly right angles and run for a long distance on a straight line. It seems as it it were impossible for both engineers not to have seen each other's trains for the distance of at least half a mile, if not a mile, before reach ing the crossing. But comment as yet on the cause is out of the question. Let an outraged communi ty, let the survivors of the killed, let the maimed for life, hold all those in any way connected with this who lesale destruction of human life to the strictest accountability. The news of the collision, which occurred about ten o'clock, was brought to the city by the locomo tive of the emigrant train. Messengers were dis patched to the city from the depot, and Drs. Palm er and Clark, and one of the editors of the Tribune were soon under way. At the central Railraod de pot a locomotive and passenger car were in waiting for Them, and by 12 o'clock they had reached the fatal scene. The physicians, with admirable self-possession, proceeded immediately to do all in their power for the groaning sufferers. In the course of two hours they had ministered more or less of relief, to all.— At half-past two the first class passengers from Chi cago were transferred to the Central passenger car and brought up to the city. Up to that time no lo comotive had come from the city to bear away the wounded and dying who had been crushed in the cars of that road, and yet four hours and a half had. elapsed since the collision! and yet these poor crea tures, in all the agonies of broken limbs and smash 'ed bodies, could not be conveyed to any house or bed except on that road. It must be borne in mind that each of the tracks which concentrate at this crossing are flanked with water on both sides, so that the getting from one place to another, is at all points difficult, and at some impossible. The tuin of the cars was, in itself, a ' terrible sight. Piled up in the water lay an immense heap of wheels, iron railings, spunsters, doors, &c. On one side lay the crushed locomotive still emitting steam as late as 2 o'clock. Perched on the top of all, at the height of twelve feet above the water's edge was the baggage car of the Express train with one-half perfectly sound, not even the end glass broken. The other end had burst-open and a por tion of the trunks had rolled down the heap into the water below. Beneath one edge of the car appeared the bald head and one hand of an old...man. The leg of one and the body of another 'were also visible beneath the car. To the east of the ruins burned a bright fire kin dled from the splinters, whose light flickered across the quiet forms of three children, and now brightly upon the passengers who gatehred around it. An other fire was also burning west of the express train. J. P. DURBIN No one in the first-class passenger cars was se riouely injured. The engineer, fireman, and con doctor escaped as usual. SOM ETMIPa FOR AIPTI %RAMA!" s.—A correspon dent at Clearfield, Pa., whose statement is worthy of all credence, says the Germ aniown Telegraph gives us the following account of the existence of a singular mound in that county —singu.ar from its undoubted antiquity, and of the unknown people by whom it wes erected: "There is a singular mound existing on the farm of Grier Bell, Esq., in the county of Clearfield, about 14 miles from this town, and near the head waters of little Clearfield creek. The farm is situated on elevated ground, and this mound forms the summit of the highest part of the farm. Standing on the mound the eye takes in at one view the whole-sur rounding country, like looking from a high moun tain. This mound is in a square form, and about one acre in extent. Mr. Bell says, that when he first saw it, there was plainly visible two inclined Planes or gateways leading to the summit; and al though the; grounu has been cultivated for thirty years, and consequently the plow has. leveled the embankment considerably, yet they still can be traced, The soil on the mound is a black, loose loam, but Mr. Bell says that he recollects when ashes were plainly visible; charcoal is yet found, and evidences of cement or unbiirnt brick exist. "Now, who erected this? and what was the ob ject of this immense pile of coal ashes? For it must be remembered that on the highest point of the mound, and all over it, the largest and oldest trees found in our native forests, were standing and flourishing ia all their native grandeur when first ' discovered by the white men of our day. Some of the stumps are yet remaining whose growths show a life of 300 years, which would carry us back to a day anterior to the explorations of De Soto, or others of the French Jesuit Fathels."

Enalaum—ln the House of Commons on the 14th, Sir Hugh de Lacey asked Ministers, whether, in the negotiations with the United States on Cen tral America, the rights and interests of British subjects in Honduras, and those of Britain's allay, the King of Mosquito, had been properly protected Lord John Hassell replied, that the negotiations had not terminated, and consequently any state ment at the present time would be premature. The Glasgow Steamsaip Company has contract. ed for the building of a consort to run to N. York in connection with the iron steamship Glasgow. The London police searched Kossuth's house in London, on the morning of the 14th, and found large stores of arms and ammunition. It is stated that recent arrests in Prussia have taken place, in consequence of information furnish ed by the London police, who placed spies upon the refugees now in London. In the House of Commons, on Friday, Sir J. Walmesley asked the Government if these state ments concerning Kossuth were true, and if Great Britain has given assurance to foreign pnwers, that refugees here should be placed under surveilance. Lord Palmerston replied, that a warrant had been issued to search a house at Rotheshive, not occu pied by Kossuth, in which were a large quantity of rockets, shells and gunpowder; but no assurances had been given to foreign powers, excepting that refugees would not be allowed to abuse the hospi tality of England. Mr. Duncombe said these munitions were found in a rocket factory, and Were for sale. Mr. Bright asked Lord Palmerston if Kossuth had really any connection with the munitions of war that were discovered. . . . . Lord Palmerston replied that he did not know, and would cast no imputations upon Kossuth. The matter would be the subject of future inquiry. Lord Stuart charged the Government with get ting up a false charge against Kossuth, after which the subject was dropped. Mrs. Stowe, on landing in Liverpool, was met by a large crowd, and proceeded to the house of Mr. Edward Cropper, where she met a select party.

It is the intention of the subscribers totpublish on the first day . Of each month, beginning with the month of May next, sim ultaneously in the cities of Washington and New, York, a periodical, to be entitled the " DEMOCRATIC MONTHLY REVIEW." Each number will contain at least 96 pages, and be printed on fine paper in a very superior style. It will also be embellished with a finely engraved portrait of a distinguished living man, embracing statesmen, soldiers, artists,. and authors. The political character of this Re view will be, as its title indicates, democratic, and one of its main objects to elucidate the true prin ciples of the democratic party. It will examine in a spirit of fairness and candor, all the leading -measures o• the present administration, and accord to them a cheerful support. Should we, howeber, unfortunately differ in opinion on any point from the President, we shall not hesitate to express our own sentiments, and the reasons that constrain us to do so—submitting to the demodracy of the country the decision between us. This Review will also aim to furnish the readers with a graphic and comprehensive notice of the new works published, which may seem to be enti tled to it, and also a record of all scientific discov eries and improvements. . The present condition of the nations of Europe, and the attitude in which some of them stand to- wards certain portions of this continent, have in vested our foreign relations with the utmost impor tance. Never was this government placed in a sit ution of Store critical difficulty than at the present moment. The most inflexible firmness, far Seeing wisdom, and adroit skill will be required to avoid complicating our interests and affairs with those of Europe. We confidently trust the administration will be equal to the task. We shall watch un sleeping eye the progress of affairs in Mexico and the West Indies. Here alone is our vulnerable part. This Review will abstain from all personality, and seek to harmOnize and unite the democratic party, both in feeling and principle. It will be the exponent of the party, 4. not of a clique faction or in dividual. The editor will speak for himself, indepen dently & fearlessly, under a thorough sense of the re sponsibility he assumes. The undersigned have se lected an editor, after careful consultation with their prominent democratic friends, and have chosen one whose ability and, experience will secure for him universal confidence and , respect. From this article . thepublic can form a correct estimate of the merit of this publication. Several of. the most distinguished writers in the country have engaged to become regular contributors to our pages. We ask neither confidence nor palronage if they be not deserved. Our first number will contain a general outline of the course we design to pursue in future. The editorial department is under the control of OVID F. JOHNSON, Eq.
