NISNOP WELLES NOTIFIND, The Conforenco Committes who nominated Dr. Wolles mailed an ofticial lotter Lo liim to-day, informing him of his unanimous clection, and Baying that, coming as it did, it waa rogardod as a special indication of Divine Providence, nnd warrantod the canviction that his nccoptauce of the opiscopate would not only restore tho unity of tho diocese, but bo attended with grent pros- pority. A roply is not oxpeoted for uevaral days —until after ho shall bave consulted with Bishop Whipplo ; but it may como soonor, and that it will bo aflirmativo no one questions, g TIE IBHOP-ELEST, Tho subjoined sketch of Bixhop Welles was written by & clorgyman who s woll acquainted with bim, and who has worked by his side in the Mlinnesota Dioceso ¢ The Rov. E. R. Wellos, D, D., the new Bishop- olect of tho Diocoso of Wisconsin, is o native of Waterlao, N. Y., aud & gradunte of Hobart Col- logo, Gouovs, N. Y. Ho studied theology, in part at loast, with the Rov. Dr. Wildon, now of Cornell Univorsity. Nearly or all of his oclarical worl hns boon dono in his presont parieh of Red Wing, Minn, He came to Red Wing whon thora was ohly o small number of sottlow, and thoso almost wholly nnder tho iniluence of tho Moth- odists. By Ius untiring energy, Lowover, and by his groat personal magnotism, ho speedily drow to his church some mon of great influonce’; €0 that, from (ho vory first, tho progress of his church 'waa stondily upward, It ia now, probe ably, all things considered, tho strongost and most iuflucutial parish of the Lpiscopal Church in the State. In appearauce, be is tall, and of excellent proportious. In the vestmenta of the office, or out of thermn, ho will look every inch a Bichop. In olharactor ho is warm-hearted, readi- ly accossible, a man of the peoplo aud no aristo- crat; kivd and sympathetio, popular even smong thoue who differ from him, and probably never had an encmy. As a preasher, he usuaily ‘proachios from mavuscript, and, though he may not be what fs tormed iu this sensationn! age & reat proacher, hois cortainly worthy of o place [ the catalogue of pzood preachers. The choico 18 probably tho mostfortunate that could have boon made. Ho is all that could be noeded, to pacify this lately disturbed diocose, Hoe is not capable of afilliating himaelf with any party. In church-worship, ho probably bolongs to what is known s thie Ioburt or De Lancoy stamp, 'This does not mean, howover, that ho is a man who would bo howrified by u surpliced choir, or n choral sorvice. Ho hason tha con- trary o strong proferonco for ornate worship. Ho 18 & man of great missionary instinct, with n slrong organizing faculty, and romarknble for executive aud adminsirative powor. Hu seldom ‘makes apeeckics in Couneil, but is much trustod in all matters requiring judgment, nnd bhos beon sout a8 & dologuta to the General Convention for several vears, In tho work of the now catbedral ho will Le portectly at home; and undor his superintendonce thers will be sure to grow up around it & system of schools, hospit- aln, and homes. There are some obstacles to be overcomo oro ho can accopt tho olection, Tho first will bo his woll-known modesuy; the sec- oud, his reluctanco to loave his attached people ; aud lastly his wife bas boen, and_probably will be, au invalid, aud would probably be loth to leavehor_homo for a probably unhoealthy resi- denco in Milwnuliee, 1t is hoped, however, that, in view of tho ununimity of his election, ko may find means to overcome all theso objections, e THE COUNOIL, AIORNING BESSIOY, The Council resumed its sitting at 9 o'clock this morning, Dr. Bradt in the chair, The in- toreat in the Convention having died when the elcetion for Dishop was over, there wero vory forw persons present other than dolegates, and tho number of tho latter was dimimuslied, many Laviug gono howo last night and by the carly worning waing, Ar.
