Woolen Manufactures.—

Our two

woolen mills are running to their full ca pacity, and doing most excellent work. Some three months since Mr. G.

Ellis,

of the Wabash Woolen Mills contracted to furnish Byrum, Kennedy & Co. .of Indianapolis, with three] hundred bolts of flannel and three hundred bolts of jeans, each bolt to contain thirty-five yards. This contract is now about completed, all done in about ninpty days and besides selling at home one-half that much more.

Change of Officers.—At

a meeting of

the Directors of the Terre Ilaute Iron and Nail Works Company, held last evening, Geo. W. Haberly, Esq., resigned the Presidency of the Company and

Nip-

pert, Esq., was elected to that office. This change wa3 made in order to give Mr. Haberly entire command of his time to attend to the sale of nails. He will, as he has for,some time past, travel in various sections of the country taking orders and extending the reputation of the works, in which he has heretofore met with such signal success

Forger Arrested.—Policeman

The Miners

Ward

Hay ward arrested yesterday a man'ofgood appoarance aged about thirty years, who is charged with forging the name of a Mr. Carlisle, at Rockville, for the sum of twenty-live dollars, some three months since. About the same time he obtained ten dollars of Mr. Rothschild, on the west side of the square, upon a forged order, but Mr. R. suspecting after he had gone out that all was not right, followed him and recovered the money. He stoutly denies being the man, but he was lodged in jail to await the coming of Mr. Carlisle.

The present condition of affairs is very unpropitious. New miners are constantly arriving, but finding that they cannot get instant employment, even though the prices are satisfactory to them, without placing themselves in direct antagonism with the miners Association, they will not remain but seek elsewhere for work.

Prof. Martlx, the Illusionist,

pears for the first time in this city, at Dowling Hall. We cannot belter speak of him than to quote the following from yesterday's Indianapolis

Sentinei:

To-night being the last exhibition that Prof. Martin will give in our city, amusement lovers 11 do well to turn out, if thev wish to' ee the best show of the kind with which Indianapolis has been blessed for many a dav. Without a doubt, the performance given by Prof. Martin is well worth the high enebminms Which it has received at the hands of the press and people wherever it lias been.

The ventriloquist exhibition and t'le performing automatons, are-good, and when we say good, w« mean all the word conveys in that sense. No one should fail to see and be convinced we are right.

To-night, among the many presents to be distributed among the audience, will be a fall set of bed room furniture—a chance for some newly married couple to be set up in housekeeping.

Pleasing Entertainment.—Owing to other engagements, and much to our regret, we were unable to attend the-parlor entertainment given at the residence of Mr. Ira Delano, on Tuesday evening, for the benefit of the Episcopal Church. The entertainment consisted of tableaux and charades, and was witnessed by an appreciative audience bf abatit- ©nelfSidred arid fifty persons. The tableau* "An evening scene in Persia," "Nicholas Nickleby teaching the Ken wigs," "Mary Queeii of Scots parting with her Friends," and two scenes from "Blue Beard" were each encored

Mr. Ensign, from the Business Committee offered report of programme for the day, which was published in yesterday, report of the'proceeding of theConvention*

On motion of Rev. L. W. Chapman of Richmond a Committee of three were appointed on Enrollment: Rev. L. W. Chapman of Richmond, T. C. Buntin of Terre Haute and Rev. II. Dickinson of Thorntown Were appointed.

On motion of Mr. Ensign, Rev. E. F. Howe was appointed Rail Road Secretary. Mr. Olcott, Secretary, read the proceedings of last evening, which were accepted.

The first topic, "What is the demand for increaied Christian effort in the State?" was opened by the llev. Edward P. Ingersoil, of Indianapolis. He said that the laymen of the State did not fully understand their relations with the church. Those who stand in the sacred desk shoiild endeavor to instruct them in their duties. Out of the abundance of the heart the mo'uth speaketh, and we must go forth with the love of Christ, which casteth out fear. Satan is stirring himself, and uses the means of Spiritualism, Catholicism, Infidelity and other errors. Catholicism is no small power, and we can learn wisdom by their energies in carrying out their ends. We should not overlook any error however small and insignificant. Intemperance is an enemy against whom our efforts should never be relaxed. The money spent in this vice is alarming, and if properly diverted into a current for good, what splendid arm for the right. Christians should be models of business propriety, and our churches should be conducted upon the strictest lines of business integrity.'Strangers should receive a cordial welcome from every church where they may visit. In the Western country the ideas of religion are far different from those in the East. We must not place dependence upon doctrinal points, hut must let our religion and Christian life stand out as examples in our everyday conversation and business. We must give men and money for the cause. Self-sacrifice must be engrafted upon the wealthy men of the church. We must dedicate all we do and all we have to the cause of our Master.

Rev. Mr. Thrush, of South Bend, cdntinued the debate upon the same topics. The fields are white for the harvest and we must go forth armed and equipped to garner for the Lord.

Rev. N. A. Hyde, of Indianapolis, who has been engaged in the work of his church in different parts of the State, and who is well versed in the wants,

THE PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY. rW tJ

The prayer meeting yesterday morning in the parlor of the Congregational at half-past eight o'clock was very fully attended and tfas presided over by Mr. Moody, of Chicago. This continued one hour when the Convention again assembled in the church audicnce room.

At half-past nine, Col. Kay introduced the permanent"President elect, Chas. F. Coffin, of Richmond who upon assuming the duties of hiB position made few pertinent rmarks, thanking the Convention for their partiality and kindness in electting him to preside, biit pledging himself to work in his Master's strength and to do all to his glory and the advancement of his interests. After prayer, led by the President, -'Nearer my God to thee" was sung, y.:- I,

and also

being made, in the State, ex

plained to the Convention where is the proper field to work and what is requisite to be accomplished. There Ls a radical dcfeci in the efforts of tho friends of the Gospel, a very low standard of piety and we must endeavor to have ourselves worked up 4o the proper point and .then incite the confessed followers of Christ to more increased devotion and energy to their duties.

Rev. Little, of Madison, who has been called by his duties to travel over most oi the State, gave his idea of the wants and eflorts throughout our borders, and his experience in starting small churches in school-houses of districts where people had no means of grace. The statistics he presented in regard to the proportion of attendants upon public worship in the State were very interesting.

Rev. W. Y. Allen, of Rockville, thought that there should be more school house preaching, arid ministers of stated charges should not be reluctant to go into sections where there were no churches, occupy the school houses and preach the Gospel.

The Rev. Speaker related his experieilce in days past in traveling or circuit. ReVi.- W. H. McCarer of Evansvilie. Agent of the American and Foreign Christian Union, said that Christians should not wait for Church aewmmodations to work, or even for school houses we should preach uader trees, *on»fche owner of streets. All around us' souls are lost for want of proper attention and in structiw,%irt? tre must be ufi*ttd •prnyinjf &nd working,:*- -:"L

EKev. Dr. Andrus of Evansville said that every christian should be awakened to his duty and as to-day at R^me the Pope com mences Ins Ecumenical council, the christian's duty i^. jto effect measures to counteract the influence of that gathering

Mr. of St. Louis, Secretary of the American Christian Commission gave spine very interesting statistics in regard to the attendance upon public worship in 'different States of the Union.

ReVi B. F. Patterson of Thorntown related his personal recollections in preaching, some personal reminiscences whjch were very interesting.

Rev. Mr. Whitehead continued in the game strain of thought. Samuel /ordon, a Friend, of Rockville, made some telling remarks upon the importance of Temperance and Godliness. Let us go out and endeavor to save the outcast and degraded from himself and from the enticemertts of bis appetite and temptations of the rum seller. We must make personal labor the great effort of our lives- S|.:- ,i.f rfUWvK-f.'

The di.-cushion.af this topic.was then closed, and "I^'»heep", wii8eung. A recess of .five minutes was then given.

The Rev. A. B. Morey of Fraaklm was appointed a Committee to report the snbsUnce of the above discussion, in the form of a j-^'ptytion and report, ajjt^e^fternoon session

A few moments were then spent in silent prayer, and the Rev. Mr. Brown, of Bloomfield,.led in open prayer The Lord is my Shepherd" was sung

Col. Ray, of Indianapolis, opened the discussion on'tHe topic "flow

?can

we se

cure a more general attendance of the people in city and country upon public worship." He said that life would locate churches where people can get at them, ne would have them cheap, plain, but cheerful and decorated just as the pooi,est attendants may feel that they are at home. He would have free seats and voluntaiy ^cpntrSSiftfbns. |&& *npt!8 plentyl Of iiuging and that -.the laymen should take their parts in the conference and experience meeting. He wanted more consecration from the laymen, and a systematic arrangement for visitation, especially upon the Sabbath day. Let religion termjnate every action of ours, "living it in our every day life let the World know of that we are Christ's let no pastor talk about denominatioit

sect

in talking or preaching to sinners but only of Christ and Him crucified The speaker proceeded in a marked and able manrler, in a style peculiar to wide-awake Meihodist

class-leader as he^a at home,

•and the interesting remarks

fairly

drew the attention of the reporters and 'secretaries, that they aould report bun, but in general terms.

We lUu Mr. Batfi

style. Rev. Mr. Skinner, of this city, devoted his five minutes in laying down plans and propositions for the division of labor in a. church, and giving his views in relation to the duties of both pastor and layman.

Rev. E. F. Howe, of this city, thought strange that such a speech as Bro. Ray's should not have trampled upon his

toes,

as he could endorse thoroughly liis Meth odist ideas in relation to work. Mr. Howe explained his views in regard to free contributions and treatment of strangers. Away with pew-doors away with pride bring in the poor give them a cordial welcome never let the stranger feel his loneliness

Rev. Mr. Chapman, of Richmond, gave some most interesting incidents iri his experience of the late great revival in hi8 city.

Rev. Mr. McCormick, of Princeton, said he lived in the country and had labored from 1846 to 1850 as a colporteur for the American Tract Society, and he bad found the great difficulty of bringing Christians to Church and, he thought, the great new way for those who professed to love Christ to have more self-consecra-tion. The apostles did not wait until the crowd came to hear tlieni preach, so we must not wait for sinners to come to us, but we must go out and labor as mission arias.

Mr. Moody had had great experience in the world, and he found the best way was to excite trust and confidence in the hearts of sinners toward Christians. Let us walk worthy and not be stumbling blocks,

The discussion was further participated in by Revs. Messrs^ May, of Lafayette Bowers, of Vincennes, and Elder A. S. Evans, of Fort Wayne.

After the discus

sion was closed, a special request was made to the venerable Father Sparks, of this city, to make a few remarks to ,lu9 brethren in the ministry. He had been a professor of religion for overa sixty years and thought he would like to give some advice to the Convention, and relate his experience in early days in this ,State. Great attention was paid to the venerable gentleman in his remarks. ..

After singing "I wifi Bm^torJeauf, the Convention took a recess for dinner.

afternoon session.

At 2 o'clck the Convention again met, Presid^pt Coffin in the Chair. Fifteen minutes were spent in devotional exercises, participated in by many of the Clergy and Laity.

Rev*vB. Fi Morey reported the following resolutions in accordance with his appointment in the mornng:

Resolved,

The demand oran increiase of

Christian effort in our State is found in the large neglect of attendance of public worship and the wide-spread prevalence of worldlings, infidelity, intemperance and consequently the lost condition of the multitude tad in the full free promise of Giod's spirit upon all christian^ effort. Seul's perishing everywhere within and without the church and the little that is done to meet them is the demand.

Resdleed,

A more general attendance

upon public worship can be secured bv securing a fuller presentation of Christ in the pulpit, and a stricter discipline and business integrity in the church, with a cordial invitation and welcome to all and rendering church buildings more attractive and acceptable and_ accessible to all classes.

Which resolutions were adopted. The topic for discussion''What can business men dofor Christ" was opened by the President

CIkh.

Co&niH OOO.tf

The discussion was then participated ii by Col. Ray, Mr. Evans of Fort Waynfe, Rev. Thrush of Sooth Bend, Mr. Moody, Mr. Taylor of England, Mr. Wooton of Richmond, Rev. Wright of Elizaville, Rev. Green of Logans port and Rev. Little of Madison, each of whom in a plain and practical manner, spoke as business men, arid mechanics, who can find time from their daily vocations to work for the Master. Personal experiences had shown them that business men and mechanics needed a practical and everyday religion. Very Interesting anecdote^ and incidents were given by the several speakers upon this topic "Oh! happy day that fixed my choice" was sung. The hour having arrived for the \tfrtdel Bible lesson byHenty Morehouse xif England, each person was provided with a copy of tbe good book, by which to folldw the lecturer. It would be Unfair to the yonng speak or for us to epito-1 mite thi? HBlendid and erudite effort It was a n^st impiresaive sight to see this modest young Englishman come forward

At shV d'okclu^6h''df ^is r^mark^ Rev. Mr. McCarerj of £varisyilie, added a few words in support .of..the .-former address and he^as followed J»y PresicisiJt Coffin in the sa^t9npr^ .'£'^f,jEu|hil«opks up to Thee" was .then eu^g.

At*B$35iiro'clock the church1. filled to overflowing. The exercises commenced by singing "Oh I bappy day that fixed my choice arid prater by "Rev. Shryock, and the vast audience also joined in the loved old tune "Coronation." Hie topic which liad b^eri tinderfdiscussion ft the close of the afternoon session waa resumed by Barnabas' C. Hobbi. The church shonld ieH her responsibility in putting all her force into the field but the Sabbath flctool is the great preparatory means by which the church may be built up and those churches that are the most alive and .practical workers we will find the heads of the family in the Sabbath school. Their example exerts great power. Both study and investigation is one of the great means of instructing and preparing the young and old for pactical work. iA great example for good is that business men shall carry their religion into their every day life, and make Christianity a real thing. 7"c

Mr.EusignofSt. Louis, said that1young Christians think that there are but twp or three things which they can do and are satisfied with alight service. If they can do nothing else they can sing

Pa*tors shoald study -their people and dBBign each individual to the branch of service which may seem best fitted their capacity. Mr. Wooton of Richmond said that workers should become acquainted arid have full symyathy with each other no jealousy or ill feeling.

JRev. Mr. Morrison of this city, had thought much of the propositions ad yanced in regard to the work. It is necessary that the work should be efficient as well as intelligent. The truth of God, and the Holy Spirit are the two great efficiencies in the acquisition of good to faithful labor. Our own hearts will be made better.

Rev. Mr. Sanders of Indianapolis want ed to speak to the young men and thought that it was very important to bring out the young men to attend the prayer meet ings both of the church and neighborhood They ar$ powers for good, and it makes workers more at home with themselves: and gives them confidence to themselves and in their work

Rev. Mr. Hyde of Indianapolis suggested that it might be better for each ohristian to set his heart upon some one

sinner

and make his special efforts to strive and make this one

soul to Christ, and he made

the calculation to show what "a vast amount of good a few young men might do,giving arithmetical progression that in seven years the entire world could be con verted. ".BluCSSAiliJ I'lifsiil

Col. Ray said the reason why we

don't

do it is we don't follow the divine inunction "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might." If we remember that text, we can do anything we set out to do,

Further remarks on the subject were made by Rev. Mr. McCarer of Evansville and Mr. Mayo of Lafayette, "There is rest for the weary" was then sung.

The remainder of the evening was devoted to the consideration of the subject of the unconverted, and was occupied by Messrs. Taylor and Morehouse, the two young English Evangelists who havs been in attendance upon the Convention.— With the mosi intense interest did the audience listen to the exposition of the text: Isaiah 53:3—"He was wounded for our transgressions"—as shown forth by both these lspeakers. "Jesus lover of my aoul" was sung, and Mr. Moody took the stand and reviewed the subject that had been expounded by the two previous speakers. It is next to impossible to portray upon paper the manner and thoughts expressed by these speakers who are engaged in the work of Evangelization. Suffice it to say that great hopes are entertained that their efforts may be crowned with eminent success in our city as they have been in other citiee where they have had the privilege of working.

After singing "Alas and did my Savior bleed," the vast congregation was dismissed by the doxology and the benediction. prog ha

What it Will Expect of Terre Haate.

Months have passed as the massive walls of the elegant structure which adorns the city of Terre Haute have de veloped the elegance and Ijeauty .of their architectural design. Not' only the city but the State may justly feel a pride in the superior advantages thus afforded for the education of those wno will be trusted with the mental, moral and social training of children who will be the men and women of the nexfrand future genera* tkms.

All .will see how desirable it is to have their children entered here: The^prioeof tuition wifl be for a session of twelve weeksi $6.00.

The Intermediate De^Lrtment will embrace the course of study between the Primary and High School corresponding to the Intermediate and Grammar Grades of city schools. This Department will have for its Principal, Kate A. Sprague, of ChicagOj who has been chosen because of her peculiar fitness for the place, bhown by her excellent success in conducting such schools in that city. These advantages and inducements may be expeicted to the children of Terre Haute and elsewhere for a thorough coarse of instruction in th$ elementary branches. Theprjce of tuition, per session of twelve weeks, is $8.00. .... -igie HgnMAT. will be conducted by an able corps ol teachers who will bring with them the best methods instruction and discipline.
