Piscataquis Mission.-In 1824, this mission was established, and Rev. O. Beale appointed missionary. At the close of the second year, it was received as regular work. Pensacola and Mobile Mission.-The Rev. A. P. Cook was appointed missionary to Pensacola in 1824, where he entered upon his labors with great zeal, and extended them to Mobile, and to the destitute settlements along the Escambia river.

The following year he was reappointed, and labored with great zeal, until he fell by the prevailing epidemic. His place was supplied by the Rev. Mr. Lambeth.

The mission continued to prosper until 1828, when it was returned a regular station. Pensacola was constituted into a separate missionary station, and Rev. Messrs. Hardy, Boring, Wyrich, and Shelman, were successively appointed missionaries.

In 1832, the Pensacola and Escambia missions were divided; and the Talladega and Mobile missions were taken into the regular work; and in 1841, the Escambia and Pensacola missions were also made regular appointments.

In 1826, the following missions were established: Early mission, Florida, Tallahasse, Holmes Valley, St. Augustine's, St. John's-the former in the west, and the latter in East Florida-and Pea River mission.

The following missions were established in 1828: mission to the Welsh people, in Steuben county, New York; St. Mary's mission, in northwestern Ohio; St. Clair mission, in the state of Michigan; St. Joseph's and Defiance missions, in the same state; Providence mission, on the banks of the Mississippi, extending from Vicksburg to Lake Washington. In 1829, Fox River, Logansport, and Galena missions were established, in the state of Illinois.

In 1830, the Salt River, Gasconade, and West Prairie missions were established, in the state of Missouri.

1831. The Brownsville, Iroquois, Jonesboro, Rock Island,

Des Plaines, Fort Wayne, Grand Prairie, Chicago, and Fort Clark missions, were organized, and under the supervision of the Illinois conference; and the Carroll, Randolph, and Lee missions, in the bounds of the Georgia conference. The South Bend mission was established, in the bounds of the Indiana conference.

1832. The West Point, in the state of New York; the Maccoupin, Peoria, Fort Edwards, Henderson River, Blue River, Upper Wabash, Kalamazoo, and La Port missions, in the Illinois conference; the James' Fork mission, in the Missouri conference; Alachua, in the Georgia conference; La Fourche, Lake Bolivar, and Big Sand, in the Mississippi conference; Braddock's Field, in the Pittsburg conference; the Mattanawcook, and Hatton missions, in the Maine conference; Savannah, Pon Pon, S. Santee, N. Santee, Cooper River, Wateree, Upper Santee, Waccamaw Neck, and Catawba, in the South Carolina.

The most of the missions in this conference are among the slaves on the extensive plantations; and, in almost all the southern conferences, there are missions of this description. From the earliest period of the Church's history, in this country, the wretched condition of this down-trodden people has been deplored, and they have been supplied with the Gospel just so far as the slaveholders would allow. They have been taken into the Church, and instructed orally in the doctrines and duties of Christianity. Thousands have been converted through the instrumentality of the missionary, and multitudes have given proof, in the probity of their lives, of the power of religion in regenerating the heart, and bringing out the graces of Christianity, even under the most unpropitious circumstances.

The report of this year does not give a list of the mission stations, and, consequently, we are not able to note the establishment of new missions for the year. The number of missionaries is put down at one hundred and sixty-four, and the number of members, at the several mission stations, at eighteen thousand seven hundred.

The French mission in New York continued to prosper, and the missionary was indefatigable in his zeal to promote its objects.
