WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1870.
Governor Baker.
The very large audience which assembled at the Wigwam last night to hear the Governor of the State, was a flattering compliment to his popuiari the desire of the people to hear cial condition of the State diMUMed by one in whom they have confldenee and one who knows all about .t, and w.U tell only the truth. The Governor's expose of our financial condition was very complete, and showed a good record for the Republican administration of the domestic affairs of the State. In substance, his speech was the same as that we published a few days ago, and hence it is unnecessary for us to again lay it before our readers* His audience gave him marked attention, and what he said must have had a telling effect on his hearers. No man has made a more able speech in this city this campaign. He talked about what concerned the people most, and what most they desired to to hear. He spoke near two hours and held the attention of hi.=s vast audience during all that time.
Minister Washburne.
We regret to see some portions of the Republican press of this country intimating that the American Minister went too far in the manner with which he conveyed to the Republic of France its recognition by this country. They seem to be fearful that some offense may probably be given to some of the other Europeau Governments by the way he did it.
Mr. Washburne was warm in his congratulations of the young Republic into the sisterhood of nations, and expressed himself freely and enthusiastically in favor of Republics against Monarchies. He spoke with a true American heart true Republican feeling, and honest and sincere convictions. He spoke like a man who has lived for years in his Western prairie home—as he felt. He did not disguise his sympathy and his tongue gave utterance to the throbbing of his heart. We admire him for it. Any other course would have misrepresented the earnest feeling of the jfcople whom he represented. It would have been a lasting blotch on the fair fame and national courage of the Republican citizens of this country, for the American Minister at Paris to have extended the congratulations of this people to the young French Republic, in a kind of milk and water, wishy-washy way. That would have been the proper course for a Minister who was representing a nation of cowards, but as the representative of a people who stand independent of all the rest of the world in their defiant advocacy of a republican form of government in preference to all others, such a course would have been base misrepresentation.
We hope it is not true that Mr. Fish and President Grant think our Minister has "gone too far" in this matter. Their quick action in recognizing the Republic of France, met the universal approbation of earnest, men everywhere. Their disapprobation of the course pursued by Mr. Washburne, would detract much from the popularity of their own action. Upon this question, the Cincinnati Enquirer expresses our views, better than we can, in the following: "We have not been among the personal or political admirers of Mr. Washburne but we are free to confess that his conduct in the prompt recognition of the French Republic has been, both as to its matter and its manner, highly creditable, not only to himself but to the Great Republic in whose name and in whose behalf he speaks and acts. He has shown himself a true American and a true friend of free institutions in extending the right hand of fellowship to the struggling people of France. So far from believing, as the newspapers tells us Mr. Fish and Mr. Grant believe, that he has "gone too far," we are confident that he might have gone much farther without impairing "the dignity of his office," which is the accusation made against him by the State department flunkies. Ho might not only have expressed sympathy for the French, but hostility for their enemies. ..While despotic Prussia is making war against Republican France there can be iiio sincere neutrality on the part of the
United States and whatever|the Government at Washington may do through fear or favor, the great heart of the American people throbs responsive to every effort on the part of France to beat back the marauding myrmidons who are making a a causeless and agressive war upon her. What we need no^w is another Washburne at Berlin to ask, on behalf of the American Republic, that the Avar shall cease, now that its further prosecution can have no part of the justification set up for its inauguration. Let the President and his Cabinet, instead of considering the removal of our worthy Minister to France, think if it would not be wise to ^transfer hi in temporarily to Berlin." a.
.: Nilsson.
'iu"Our readers will recollect the brilliant
fdescription
given of Miss Nilsson, by our
"European correspondent, who heard her fjiu London. It was then predicted that the celebrated songstress would have an enthusiastic reception when she came .to New York. She has arrived in the
Metropolitan City, and flunkeyism has gone crazy in the following manner, as ^described by the telegraph
The first appearance of Nilsson, the renowned cantatrice, before an American audionce to-night proved an event of most extraordinary interest. Long before the hour fixed for the concert Fourteenth street, in the neigborhood of Steinway Hall, was lined with people eager to get a glimpse of the great vocalist. Every seat in the Hall was occupied, and hundreds had to content themselves with standing room,
The concert oponed with Rosini Messe Sololone, a trio admirably rendered by ^Miss Annie Louise Cary, a contralto with a rich but not remarkable strong voice gSignor Brignoli, who sang in a style that brought back memories of his best davs and Signor Vingar, an excellent baritone .-"V." ""who to-night made his first appearance in
America. Henry Veaux Temps, the celebrated -violinist, received a moat enthusiastic reception:
The entrance of Nilsson was the [signal for d' storm of applause. The stags in a few minutes became literally strewn with bouquets. As the songstress bowed ber ?£?.•* acknowledgment of the enthusiastie cheers, the applause was again and again renewed.
The first song Bright and Fair
end
Handels—"Angclo Ever As the rich liquid tones
of her voice arose the audience was elec trifled into the most wrapt attention At the
of each verse there was applause
Lhi^h waa of the most enthusiastic charge? When she had finished the air the scene baffled description. Numberless bouauets
were
thrown upon the stas..
She acknowledged gracefully siastic tributes. As she moved fiom the stage cries of "bravo, bravo, mingled with deafening applause, followed
ll®r-
Never, probably, did songstress recen 4 more unmistakably hearty reception. No sooner had
the
liquid tones other voice
fallen upon the ear, than it became evident that even the great an expectant and somewhat critical audience had been realized.
Mile. Nilsson's great European
repu^"
tion was at once stamped with the approbation of an audience comprising the elite of New York society, and its leading lights in the musical world.
Mdlle. Nilsson's next son* was the grand scene from Ambrose Thomas' Hamlet, where she had an opportunity of evincing her powers as an actress as well as a vocalist. Rarely has a fairer or more appropriate Ophelia been seen. Here, too, the audience had an opportunity of hearing that matchless range of voice which gave Nilsson pre-eminenco on the European stage.
The quartette from Martha, sung by Nilsson, Miss Gary, JBrignoli and Verger, was enthusiastically encored. The charming air "All Forsetu," from la Travita, was the last for M'lle Nilsson on the programme. At its conclusion the audience rose en mass, and sent up cheer alter cheer. As Nilsson was leaving the stage the enthusiasm was unbounded. In response, she returned and sung a Swedish air. At the termination ot the concert the crowd followed Nilsson to the_ Clarendon Hotel, cheering her enthusiastically.
Are there as many fools anywhere else in the world, as in -New York? Hardly we should think. It is said that a Frenchman once bathed the most beautiful woman in Paris in champagne, and then drank the delicious liquid from one of her slippers. To men of sense this
looked
like foolishness. But not much
more so than the silly ovation to thiscaiitatrice by New Yorkers. We suppose she sings well, and wouW much like to hear her in our new Opera House, but we cannot believe a Terre Haute audience would go mad if she should come here. If the admittance was reasonable the house would be full if unreasonable, empty. As there are so many things out in this western world to get enthusiastic about, and much above us to worship, we are impressed with the idea this people would not boil over, or fall down and worship this young girl with a good voice, even should she honor herself by visiting this city.

Memoir of Elder Samuel K. Sparks, Founder of tiie flit. Zion Baptist G.turch. [Written by a Member of the
Church.]
In respect for our beloved brother, Eider Sparks, and at the request of many members of the Church over which he has so long presided, we will endeavor to give a brief history of his life, from the period when he first commenced preaching to the present time, coupled with such facts and incidents as may seem to possess interest notonly to members of his church but to the public.
Elder Sparks was born on the '10th day of August, 1780, at Ivirkendall's Station or Fort, in the State of Kentucky, about eight miles southeast of Louisville, at a time when the settlers were compelled to live in forts to protect themselves from the Indians. Elder Sparks recollects that while they werclivipgin the station of seeing two ladies- brought into the fort who had been caught and scalped by the Indians. One of them was dead "he other, Mrs. Chenoweth, was yet alive, and, finally got well. While living the fort, Elder Sparks recollects the first impressions he had about religion or his soul's salvation. Wlifeu about fiv§ years old his step-mother sent him to the Spring for a bucket of water. Staying longer than was thought proper, when he returned his mother scolded him, telling him that he was a bad boy, and that when bad boys died they were taken to a place called hell, and thence thrown into a fire and burned forever there would be no chance to get out of that awful place of torment and if he continued to be a bad boy, he would be sure to go there! Whenever he done anything wrong, he would think of that awful place of torment. In a few years after that, the Indians all left the country, and there being no particular danger, his father moved about fifteen miles from the fort, between the waters of Floyd's, Fork and Plum Creek and in 1S01, his father bought a drove of horses and started to the State of Carolina, taking him along to help to take care of the horses.
From Carolina they went to the State of Maryland, remaining there some time. So, while away there, far from home and lonesome, he would often think of that awful place of torment! But his stepmother had said to him there was another place of happiness, and that good boys and those who were obedient would be taken there, where they would live forever in that happy place. So, one day, while away there, feeling so very lonesome, he strolled away down along the banks of the Shopland river, near the mouth, and there, while alone, he knelt down and prayed to God to have mercy on his soul and while there he felt that load of guilt removed from his soul. He then felt so happy that he wanted to tell everybody how happy he felt. There was a vessel coming up the river or bay, and he felt like going on board the vessel and telling the people how happy he was. In a short time after that his father sent him home alone and a short time after he returned home, he went to meeting at a small church a few miles from his father's residence, called Back and Cane Run and after preaching they opened the doors for the reception of members and he went up and presented himself for membership. After telling his experience and hope in Christ, he was received, and was led down into the water, and in the likeness of the Saviour, was baptized into full fellowship in the church. He was then about fifteen years old. In a short time after that, the church was moved to another site, and changed the name to that of King's Church, in the county of Bullett, Kentucky. Elder Sparks still remained arvery active working member in the church, when at about the age of twenty he was married to a young lady of eighteen years old, living a short distance from his father's, by the name of Carr. At the time of their marriage she was not a member of any church. About four years after they were married, shejlbecame a member of the church, and with her companion, still remaius a faithful member. Elder and Sister Sparks have been married about sixty-eight years, enjoying a happy life together. Rut they are now becoming feeble and worn out—the Elder being eighty-four years of age and his companion eighty-two.
After living several years as a zealous working christian in the church of which he first became a member, the Church became acquainted with his gifts and zeal to work in his Master's cause, and finally granted him liberty to preach within the bounds of the Church. In a few years after he was granted liberty to exercise his gift in the way of exhortation and preaching, he moved his membership to the Church called Plum Creek on the waters of Plum Creek, Spencer county, Kentucky. After remaining there a few years, zealously working in his Master cause, he was called to ordination by the Plum Creek Church. Elders
George Waller, William Stout, John Holland, Francis Davis and W illium Burnett were the ministersassfsting in theordinadon. Three years after his ordination he moved from Kentucky to Indiana, and located in the then town of Terre Haute, bringing church letters with iim. After getting quietly located in iiis new home, Elder Sparks began lookiug around for a Baptist Church in which to deposit his letters but, upon examinarion, he found there was no Baptist church located in Terre Haute at the time. This was in the year 1835 or 1836. Upon further examination, how ever, he found a few Baptist members, so he commenced consulting with them about the propriety of organizing a church, and they agreed to the organization, when, in the years 1836, the first Baptist Church in Terre Haute was constituted, numbering about nine members, who signed the constitution, and Elder Sparks was chosen pastor of the church, continuing to preach to them for five years in succession. In a short time after this, through Elder Sparks' solicitation, an arm of the church was extended to the vicinity where Mt. Zion Church is now located, seven miles south of Terre Haute—that being a settlement principally composed of his old Kentucky friends and relations—he commenced "preaching there, and, after a short time, he found that there was but about three Baptist members in the vicinity. But notwithstanding this, he continued to have regular meetings, when, after zealously working for a few years, he succeeded in inducing quite a number to become members of the church so, in the year 1841, the church called Mt. Zion, was constituted by thir-ty-nine members signing the constitution. The principal part of them had been baptized and became members there.
Elder Sparks was chosen to preach for the church of Mt. Zion for about twentynine years.
Feeling a deep interest in tne cause of Christ and to carry on the good work he had begun, when, whilst holding a meeting of several days, duration, he proposed on the Sabbath to some of the good brethren that if they would join with him, they would canvass the neighborhood audgo from house to house and hold prayer meetings. Accordingly, on Monday morning, him and a friend of the good brother started, and when they came to a house where they were invited in, they would sing and pray and then pass on to the next house, and thus proceeded in the same way, passing from house to house, when others joined them, until there was quite a congregation gathered up. They thus continued from day to day for about o«e week. While this meeting was in progress there was quite a number added to the church. But at times, the church would grow cold nevertheless, through the ardent labors of Elder Sparks the good work would again and again revive, and so continues up to the present day, until by the assistance of God's grace, he has built up quite a large church. Since Elder Sparks commenced his labors in the vicinity of Mount Zion Church there have been led into the water and baptized into the fellowship of the church about 260 to which adding the number of 80, joining by letterand relation, and the total number is 340 from which deduct deceased members, those dismissed by letter and excluded, and the number now standing connected with the church is about 160. But a few of the old members forming the first organization of the church are now living.
The congregation has a good church house, ueatly finished, well furnished and in good order generally.
In a short time after Mt. Zion church
was
constituted, while Elder Sparks was Pastor of the first church in Terre Haute, he got an arm extended to the vicinity of Salem Church, and in a short time they constituted a church of twelve members and, on or about the same time, a church was also established, through the efforts of Elder Sparks, at a place called New Providence, across the Wabash river composed of about twelve or fourteen members and, in the year 1852, the Elder assisted in establishing a church on Otter Creek, called Otter Creek
Church, composed of about twenty members to whom he preached for about five years. He also assisted in getting up and constituting the Second Baptist Church in Terre Haute, numbering sixteen members, and served as a preacher to the same for ten years.
Since Elder Sparks located in Terre Haute, in 1836, he has been the principal means of getting up and organizing six Baptist churches, preaching to all of them and watching over them as a faithful shepherd. The principal portion of those churches have prospered and grown largely in numbers. In truth, it may be said that Brother
Sparks has acted as the
regular pastor to at least eight Baptist churches at Terre Haute and in the vicinity thereof.
Eleven persons have been converted under his preaching and been ordained as ministers of the gospel. He also assisted in the ordination of eight ministers and ten deacons, and has preached one hundred and ninety-eight funerals.
Not having a correct record of all the converts he had baptized, it is impossible to give exactly a correct history of his labors in some particulars. To the best of his recollection, he thinks that the whole number he has baptized since he was ordained and set apa~t to the work of propagating the Gospel ministry, is about 1,200 converts.
Elder and .Sister Sparks hold their membership with Mt. Zion church, and hope to remain there the few remaining days they may be permitted to live on earth.
Elder Sparks lias lived a member of the Baptist church about seventy years, fifty years of that time having labored in the work of the Gospel ministry but he has now beoome feeble and much stricken in years, which compels him to retire from his labor and give place to others who are younger and abler to work in the cause of Christ. His work being nearly finished on earth, he is now awaiting his master's call to summon him home, there to sit at God's right hand with the angelic throng—with those much-loved saints who have gone before, where, around the throne on high, they will join in songs,of praises to God and the Lamb for ever and ever. AMEN.
Heroism.
The following act of heroism is reported as having occurred at Versailles, on the 1st of August:
The artillery corps, which has barracks in that city, had just started for the frontier: but a small number of men and a few officers remained behind to guard the park of artillery, which was supplied with a formidable quantity of bombs, shells, &c. In the morning of that day, while the officers were assembled to gether, a sentinel announced to them that one of the caissons, placed in the midst of a mass of explosive materials, had caught fire. Without hesitation or saying a word, but with common accord the officers jumped' up, ran across the park, went up to the caisson, displaced it, and, harnessing themselves to it, they dragged it rapidly outside of the barracks, and going toward a horse-pond about live hundred yards distant, they threw it into the ater and extinguised the fire, amid the hurrahs of the city. With less prompt action one-half Versailles might have been destroyed. This feat recallsan anecdote relating to the late Marshal St. Arnaud. Varna was ou fire, and the French soldiers alarmed at the extent of the conflagration, began to talk about leaving the city. When he learned the cause of the excitement among the troops the Marshal summoned his staff and took up his position on the powder magazine itself. He caused coverings of wool, well soaked in water, to be spread over it, and upon these they slept as well as the most peaceful citizens could in their beds.
Nobody, after that, said a word *bou changing their encampment. It is noi known the cause of the fii'e at Versailles, but from that moment a most vigilant watch has been kept, day ana night, over the park of artillery and its surroundings.

This country is being crossed with numerous Railroads from every direction to Sioux City, Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to this city within one year. One is already in operation connecting us with Chicago and the U. P. Railroad and two more will be completed before us with Dubuque and Mcree more will be completed year, connecting us direct with St Paul, Minn., Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus Nebraska, on the U. P. Railroad. The Missour River gives us the Mountain Trade. Ti us it wil be seen that no section of country offers such unprecedented advantages for business, speculation and making a fortune, for the country being populated, and towns and cities are beinj built, and fortunes made almost beyond belief. Every man who takes a homestead now will have a railroad market at his own door, And any enterprising young man with a small capital can establish himself in a permanent paying business, if he selects the light location and right branch of trade. Eighteen years residenc* in the western country, and a large portion
of
the time employed as a Mercantile Agent in tlii» country, has made me familiar with all tin branches of business and the best locations in this country.
