It means the civilization of Ethiopia and the gift of a new and fruitful con- tinent to all mankind. Regarding his undertaking in this light, I came from Cairo to the Soudan Anxious to learn his situation, for in lower Egypt the elephant hunter of Ceylon and the discoverer of the Albert Nyanza, had been reported slaughtered by his own command. As Ihave written in a former letter to the HeraLp, he ts safe, having arrived at Gondokoro with 800 men, two steamers and sixty boats, containing his provisions and supplies. Of Sir Samuel I have taken great pains to inquire here where he is well known and where he has many valued friends and few enemies, He began his career as a boldhunter and traveller in Indla, where he was an officer in the Indian army and the most famous shot on the peninsula. The ring of his rife has been heard in many an elephant jungle, and he can boast as among his captured game larger and wilder animals than even the most mendacious trayelier has ever dared to claim. He was engaged for some time in Turkey and Hungary with railroad matters, I believe, after which he came to Africa and entered upon his celebrated trip up theAtbara River, where he learned Arabic and became schooled to the severities of the African climate. His second expedition revealed to the world the sister basin to the Victoria Nyanza, which he has so well described in his own volumes, Returning to Egypt, he was offered command of the present expedition, which indeed was of his own conception and organization, and for over two years he has been moving his men and supplies through the deadly malaria of the White Nile, LADY BAKER, If Sir Samuel Baker's character and perseverance were not so absolutely grand, one would be called upon to depreciate his character, when it is re- membered that through all his perplexing vicissi- | tudes that heroic woman, Lady Baker, has accom- | panied him and cheered him, No woman of modern times has been exposed to the samme dangers; has | assisted in such valuable geographical discoveries, and has behaved with such masculine courage. | Among the savagery of the Atbara she lived a tent | visit. He sent an envoy to announce his inten tion but they demurred. He accordingly sent out se ve- ral companies of soldiers, and upon approaching the Bari camp, in the valley, the troops were re- ceived with a volley of arrows, knives and all the warlike missiles of that ferocious people. The troops fired upon them, drove them Off with a small loss, seized their stores and products, destroyed their villages, burning their huts to the ground, After five weeks in the fleld, the expedition returned to Gondokoro, The oMcers tell me that the Bari will still need resolute coercion before they will enter into friendly relations, Thus THB ONLY OBSTACLE TO SIR SAMUBL'S CONTINUATION OF HIS MAROH 1s a total lack of porterage. His objective is tho Albert Nyanza, whither he goes to launch his steam- ers and borgnes, in order to form an equatorial flo- tilla, All the Englishmen and Lady Baker are in excellent health; but the Egyptians are unable to support the climate. Raouf Bey is in command of the military, and a misunderstanding is said to ex- ist between him and Baker Pacha, Sir Samuel lives on board his steamer, and is engaged in writing up the details of the expedition for publication. I have been informed that he has forwarded an account to the Geographical Society also. If everything goes well I shall have joined Sir Samuel in three months, Dr. Gage, surgeon and botanist of the expedition, died in Khartoum. after descending from Gondo- koro. Several others have come back with fever. THE NUBIAN DESERT. In another letter I will give a description of our passage across the Nubian Desert, from Korosko to Berber, a journey of no inconsiderable distance, and one which was attended by much personal suffering and inconvenlence. Fancy, if you can, a man travel- lng for almost five days under a burning African sun, perched on the back of acamel, and you can then imagine some of the hardships of a HenaLp correspondent in the wilds of Africa.

GRAND Carino, April 2, 1872. Sir Samuel Baker has broken cover at last, and his letter, dated Gondokoro, addressed to the Prince of Wales and published tn the London Times, has provoked general discussion and some scandal in Egyptian circles. The oMcials argue that if all Baker Pacha writes {s true—and they do not dis- pute his general veracity—he should not journalize the Internal affairs of the Egyptian govern- ment for English information or rush into that sanctuary of all distressed Englishmen, the London Times, @ querulous narration of his woes. Baker's English friends here assert that the letter was a private one to His Royal Highness, and not intended to see the light, but that the as- tute politicians who surround the Crown Prince saw a good opportunity to connect his royal name with the suppression of the African slave trade, and caused it to be laid before the British lieges, It seems rather cool, though, to purchase for the Prince the character of a philanthropist at the cost of nearly two millions of the Khedive’s money, SIR SAMUEL'S ACT ORITICISED. Military men here comment severely on the un- military and insubordinate act Baker Pacha has committed in assalling and criticising the acts of his superiors and the government he servesina public letter, and that, too, while deprecating the Vice of insubordination in the men of his command, Altogether itis a very pretty quarrel as it stands, and Sir Samuel's “counter blast” fully confirms out of hisown mouth the statements made in my last letter, It is well known and not improper now to state | that Sir Samuel Baker owed his appointment to the friendly intercession of the Prince of Wales during his visit to the Khedive some years ago, BAKER'S APPOINTMENT AND THE NILE EXPEDITION. The Prince suggested to the Khedive that a tho- rough knowledge of the true course of the Nile was yet a geographical problem, and that no man was better fitted to solve that than Baker. At the same time the lngering remnants of the slave trade might be crushed out by a small military expedition | having the color of official sanction. The expense of this it was alleged would be small, and might be in part repaid by the value of the ivory to be gath- ered throughout the elephant districts. The Khe- dive, ever obliging and ever enterprising, a mer- chant king, gave a willing assent, and ordered his life, exposed to the twin enemies, wild beasts and wild men, elephants and ions infuriated by the sword hunters of Abyssinia, and the Bari negroes, | who threatened them night. by night. the Upper Nile she nursed her dying husband, laid | low with fever, and by turns commanded the | men in the expedition, either by kindly persuasion or “a determined use of the | revolver. To escape the base purposes of the savages about the Nyanza, she preferred to die by | poison, and having escaped this end, she returned | to suffer from a terrible equatorial sun stroke. | Yet despite such an experience, Lady Baker has re- | turned to Africa to again visit a country of which | two wordy volumes, by Mr. and Mrs. Piethgrick, officors to grant Sir Samuel ‘all necessary aid and | assistance. He then probably thought no more about On | it until last summer, when a bill for over fourteen | hundred thousand dollars caused him to open his mild bine eyes inamazement. This vas obliging a guest with a vengeance, and it would require a good many tusks to balance BAKER'S LITTLE OUTLAY. These startling figures caused an examination into the expedition, and pending this came Baker's demand for more troops to replace the soldiers he | had lost and disabled in the swamps and morasses of the White Nile. Naturally the government hesl- tated to sacrifice more blood and money for what, and I express no opinion ; but putting both cases as I hear them before your readers, leave them and you to draw your own deductions, The itch of dis- puting has proved the scab of explorers as well a3 churches, and it is, beyond a doubt in my mind, that if the military contingent leave Baker he will push on to the Nyanzas with what force he can collect, to the lake region, where, by some new discovery or fishing out Livingstone, he may earn another Royal Geographical medal, THB TRUE ROUTE FOR 4 LIGHT SUCCORING EXPR- DITION TO EQUATORIAL AFRIOA is undoubtedly through the Soudan and up the White Nile. Water communication ts complete to Gondokoro and attended with neither danger nor ex- pense. From Gondokoro to the lakes is about thirty days easy travel. Expeditions to open up the in- terior for the benefit of commerce are another thing, and must necessarily seek the shortest direct route to the sea without regard to danger or present cost. The obstructions in the White Nile apply only to large craft; the grass has been steadily growing for years, and every trader knows exactly how long he will be working through it. HK has increased now to an extent which prolongs the voyage from Khar- toum to Gondokoro, in a light draught beat, about a month, making a seventy-day trip at the outside with average luck. We will see who first finds Liv- ingstone—the Zanzibar or the White Nile explorer ? Apd we willsee, let us hope, what Sir Samuel Baker says tg “Francis Knolly’s private secretary,” who has so kindly shot him into print, it is possible without Sir Samuel's knowledge or consent. WHAT HAS SIR SAMUEL ACCOMPLISHED ? It is as well to state that Baker Pacha agreed to accomplish all he had. to do in two years, and for that service was to receive £5,000 a year, all ex- penses, and a large pension for Lady Bakor if he died. He further received as a personal compll- ment from the Khedive the rank of Major General and Pacha of the first class, the latter ratified by the Sublime Porte. The two years are up this month, Baker has not accomplished anything, which annoys the government, and he is not dead within the two years, which nullifies the pension, But he has written a very interesting letter to the Times, THE ENTERPRISE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD in breaking a way into the heart of Central Africa to fish out Dr. Livingstone has caused a flutter among the English colony in Egypt. The home gov- ernment is freely berated for its apathy and want of sympathy for an Englishman in distress, and there is talk of asuccoring expedition to ascend immediately from Cairo to the White Nile to head off the HERALD’s expedition, but tt will come to nothing. They remember the humiliating defeat, the English press and government sustained from the Herap in the Abyssinian war news, and have no hope of defeating such an active, extravagant antagonist. The Khedive himself, a man of great enterprises and lofty views, is filled with wonder at what an American newspaper will accomplish without regard to danger or cost to satisfy the in- quiring spirit and new: readers, METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE, The Ordination of the Bishops Elect Fixed for To-Day, at Halfpast Ten A. M.—The Academy of Music Sacred Enough Therefor—The Next General Conference To Be Held in St. Louis in 1876—Miscellaneous Business. Dr. HonGson led the devotions of the Conference yoaterday, and after the journal had been read and approved petitions, resolutions, memorials, &c., were handed in by the delegates. The most impor- tant of these related to aunion of all Methodist bodies in the United States; asking for a modifica- tion of presiding elders’ districts; against multiply- ing the higher educational institutions of the Church; against changing Annual Conference boun- daries, and asking for the appointment of laymen | | as book agents. The Committee on Revisals reported a plan on | the matter of lay delegation, providing that the lay and clerical delegates deliberate together and vote as one body; but they shall vote separately on all questions requiring changes of the Discipline when such separate vote Is called for, A resolution was presented by Judge Goodrich and others looking to the diminution of the number of General Con- ference delegates. The Conference then took up the order of the day to fix the place for holding THE NEXT GENERAL CONFERENCE, which brougit the venerable Dr. Slicer to his feet in advocacy of Baltimore, where the delegates could get plenty of good strawberries and soft crabs, and good accommodation, and the Baltimore Annual Conference had, moreover, unanimously asked for it, and the Monumental City has not had a General Conference for thirty-six years. Dr. Eddy seconded this nomination. Dr. Cooper urged the eligibility of Philadelphta for holding the Gen- eral Conference, All the good reasons that had been given in favor of Baltimore applied to Phila- delphia, without the disadvantage of the bad ones. The National Centennial celebration will take place there, and the preachers, of course, would like to be present on that occasion. has madd a marshy cemetery.

He arrived near the mouth of the Lobat in March, where he was com- _ pelled to remain until November, 1870.

In order to propel a boat it is necessary to cut away the reeds with axes and drag the bark ahead with ropes. These swamps are flied with birds, beasts and reptiles, and the vegetation multiplies with discouraging rapidity. INFORMATION REGARDING THE EXPEDITION. This 13 a part All the information I have received from the ex- | pedition has been obtained from two officers and one man, Who have just come down from Gondo- | koro. They say that Baker was three months in dragging his steamer through these reeds, and that Lt took 2,000 men to get it Into the clear Nile. Many Boldiers died on the way from fever. Achmed Effendi, a captain, who called to see me by diree- .tion of the Governor-General, looked very badly, and had returned quite exhausted. A major also called, and exhibited his legs bearing marks of the Guinea worm. This plague comes from bad water taken into the system. The water of the White Nile is undrinkable, When THE EXPEDITION ARRIVED AT GONDOKORO the 1,000 men had dwindled to 800. Sir Samuel then tried to push on to the lakes, but the Bart would not do his porterage. The reader should re- member that there are neither donkeys nor camels in this country, and that all baggage is borne on the backs of the natives, The Bari is a savage | tribe, frequently outraged by the traders, and | hence, like “the poor Indian,” 1s disinelined to be- lieve the white, Baker summoned the negro chtofs of the Bari nation to his cainp and demanded por- ters. The chiefs promised to supply the men; but when they left Sir Samuel's command they were treacherous to their compact, They had promised | him cattle and supplies, buat Straightway they moved everything beyond his reach, A few miles from Gondokoro @ warlike section of this tribe was sheltered in a rocky fastness, A FIGHT WITH THE NATIVES, Baker Pacha determined to pay the savages a | princes as patent as an army with banners, i} THE GIST OF BAKER PACIA'S UNLUCKY LETTER, | which is likely mounts the o} | portation, ites in the postscript, which, after ad- | mnitting that the men refuse longer to follow him, | narrates that he has 700 mem unfit for duty, and | has, therefore, returned them to Khartoum.

So the ignorant, obstinate, anti-annexation- ists turned and fought and drove Baker Pacha back to the river, witha loss of ten stout soldiers dead and many wounded, Then the Egyptian oficers, saying that the slave trade being suppressed, as it had been by the severe measures of Raouy bey, acting under his instructions from the Gover- nor General of tho Soudan, and the ivory trade in the hands of government, they would not remain to waste away and die along with the thousands who had gone be- fore, merely to prove that Baker had discovered a bigger lako than Speke or Burton, and they were going home, So much the mechanic gives as the Egyptian yorsiou.

THE BAPTIST HOME MISSION. Tho Forticth Anniversary of the Sc- clety—A Sketch of the Results of Forty Years’ Work. The forticth anniversary of the Baptist Home Mission Society was held yesterday in the Calvary Baptist church, on Twenty-third street. Mr. J. M. 8. Williams, of Boston, President of the soclety, was In the chair, The meeting was opened shortly after nine o'clock A, M. by prayer, after which some time was taken up in appointing the usual commit- tees, on Nominations, Enrolment, &c, The annual report was then read, and from it are gathered the following statistics :— Balance of the old accouné.

There are now 425 minis- ters laboring in the vineyard. The following ex- tract from the report gives a brief sketch of the work of the society for the past forty years:— A soclety for the Baptists of America was, a felt neces- sity in the Baptist churches of 1831 and 1832. They had the tfith. They were holding it fast, but they failed in hold- ing itforth. They had no bond of union, no way of work- ing together. They were like so many well forined links, made of the very best, material, but without connection, and consequently of ttle valué for any practical pur. pose, To remedy this, if possible, a meeting was held in his city in May, 1882.’ In that meeting the largest and boat churches on the continent were represented by their most intelligent and devoted ministers and’ mem: bers. In the name of the Lord and in behalf of the churches they conferred together, prayed together, and anized the American’ Baptist Home, Mission y. They returned and reported the saine to thelr churches. They were sustained by the churches, both North and South, in what they had done, ‘The society was organized, not a8 a chureh, Nor as a sub- stitute forthe churches, but as an agency by which the churches could work fogether, and together be recog nized and protected by the civil government in their mis- sionary labor. The churches belong to Christ; the society belongs to the churches. ‘The churches have ordinances and discipling; the society has neitl The churches have a commission from Christ to preach His Gospel; the | lety, a8 such, has no commission from Christ,’ and exists only as a chosen agency of the churches.” The churches are responsible to Christ for the prompt and fnithtul preaching of the Gospel to the deat in North América; tho society is responsible to the churches as a chosen hel pi per a pioneer in this work. By it churches, Sabbath schools, mi cting houses and ministers have been multiplied by thousands, but all this has been done in the general and special interest of the churches, A number of addresses were then delivered, Among the speakers were Dr. Neale, of Boston; Dr, Dickenson, Of Richmond, Va., and the Rev. Mr. ‘Tupper, of North Carolina. A resolution Was then brought forward by the Board of Managers to change the basis of repre- sentation in the Society from each church, as before, to a certain unnamed number of delegates from the State conventions, The resolution was referred back to the Board, in order that they might confer with the other societies, 80 that they might arrive at some satisfactory arrangement. A resolution was also passed to send a committee of five to tender their Christian salutations to the Methodist General Conference in session tn Brooklyn, The following officers were then elected for the Pr dent—J. M. 8. Williams, . Vice Presidents—J. R. Doolit- tle, Chicago; Samuel A. Croser, Pennsylvania. Tréasurer—William A, Geilatly, New York. Corresponding Secretaries—Rey. Jay 8. Backus, Rey. James B. Simmons, Rev. E. E, &. Taylor, and ing Secretary, Rev. E. T. Hiscox, D.D., yn. Mussachuset The evening session was devoted to hearing a number of addresses, which were delivered by some of the most eloquent’ orators of the society. The meeting adjourned shortly after ten o’clock P. M. ORDINATION AT FATHER HEOKER’S, Yesterday morning Bishop Rosecrans, of Colum- bus, Ohio, conferred the order of sub-deaconship on four young gentlemen named A. M. Brady, Louis A. Rosecrans, Thomas V. Robinson and Walter Elliott, at Father Hecker's church, in West Fifty- ninth street. The service began at nine o'clock A. M.. and the Bishop was assisted by Fathers Hecker, Hewitt. Deshon, Hill, Searle and Young. Very few of the laity were present, The ceremony of the ordination was imposing. The principal parts were the investing of the candidates with amice, maniple and chasnble; the touching of the chalice and paten and the prostration: Three of the four newly ordained sub-deacons had been engaged in secular pursuits betore thinking of becoming priests, Mr. Rosecrans is son of General Rosecrans, and nephew of the Bishop who officiated. Mr. Robinson’ waa a Con- federate oMcer during the war, Mr, Eliott is son ol Judge Eliott, of Detroit. At the breaking out of the war he was a law student, but joined the Fifth Ohio infantry. He was captured at the battle of Port Republic, and was for some time in Libby | Prison. After being exchanged he continued in the service until his three years had expired. Mr. Elliott lost two brothers In the war, On returning to civil life he was admitted to the Bar of Detroit, where he practised successfully, but abandoned the profession in order to become a priest. Mr. Brady coed en under Father Hecker’s care from early youth, ‘To-day the order of deaconship will be conferred on the jour sub-deacons named above, and minor orders will be given to Messrs. Edmund Brady Byrne and Joseph Kent Stone. On Saturday those who are ordained deacons to-day will be ordained | priests, and will be attached to the Paulists’ | Society, under Father Hecker, by whom they have been educated fn theology. THE HOUSE OF REFUGE REVOLT. The Boys To Be Tried in the Court of General Sessions—The Brutality of the | Keepers To Be Inquired Into. ‘ The case of the House of Refuge mutineers, | twenty-six in number, came before the Special Sessions Court yesterday morning for trial. Mr. W. F. Howe, counsel for the boys, moved that the pri- soners be sent to the Court of General Sessions for trial by jury, where the evil and pernicious system | of government carried ont at the Honse of Retnge could be properly and legally investigated. | Mr. Howe said that a short time ago there was the | case of Justus Dun, charged with the murder ofa | keeper, which murder was incited by the brutality | of the keeper himself, and now there was before the Court a charge of revolt which was nothing more nor less than the result of that instinet which causes the worm to turn, There | had been, he continued, a series of brutalities in- Micted on the boys by the keepers. Catholic boys, of Catholle education and Catholic parents, were they fail to submit to the religions discipline’ which | is In every way antagonistic to their principles, they are punished in a most shameful and out- rageous manner. In 1866 he said that a boy was manner that he was removed where, four days later, he died. Mr. Howe's motion was granted. A SAD ACOIDENT, OMicer Thomas Cold, for many years attached to City Judge Bedford's Chambers, yesterday after- noon accidentally fell from one of the windows of to the hospital, preceipitated a distance of over forty feet to the | pavement of the yard beneath, sustaining injuries of the most painful and serious nature, having his right thigh fractured, right shoulder dislocated and | his forehead terribly cut. He was conveyed to the Park Hospital, in Centre street, and placed in charge of Dra. Bory and Vandewater. Judge Redford and Dr. Frederick Bedford soon after ar- rived, Dr. Lewis A.

Unveiling of Mr, Ward's Statue at Central Park Yesterday. Speeches by Mr. W. C. Bryant, Judge Daly and Colonel Stebbins—Fifteen Thousand Per- sons Present—A Worthy Tribute to the Greatest of English- Speaking Bards, Yesterday afternoon the Shakspeare monument in the Park was unveiled with imposing and appro- priate ceremonies—muste, oratory, poetry and elo- cution, all of the very best, combining to make the occasion @ worthy tribute to the greatest of English bards, The arrangements were throughout in har- mony with good taste, and all lovers of literature were delighted to find their ardent hope, that the memory of the most illustrious name in English let- ters should oe fitly honored in this metropolis of the New World, at last signally realized, Only one featare in the ceremonies could have been improved, and that was the weather, over which the committee of management, in spite of our advdnce in science and the efforts of Old Probabili- ties, had, of course, no control. And even the weather was not so very bad. The sky was over- hung with low, menacing clouds; but, though the’ spectators were several times afraid that the very next minute would bring on a smart shower, such as had taken place about noon, they were agrec- ably disappointed, and as the ceremony progressed the clouds rolled gradually away, until, just when Mr. Bryant concluded the oration of the day, the sun broke out in welcome smiles, as though ap- proving the noble statue which it had thus the honor of viewing for the first time. i The interest felt in the monument was shown by the large number of spectators. At least 15,000 people assembled in front of the statue, and though most of them could hear neither the oratory nor the music, they remained respectfully silent until the end of the ceremonies. For the convenience of invited guests a huge semi-circular gallery had been erected round the monument, with seats for about twelve hundred people, in addition to accommoda- tions for Theodore Thomas’ orchestra and a chorus of about a hundred members of the Arion So- ciety, led by Dr. Damrosch, which occupied abont one-third of the available space. The gallery was very tastefully decorated with fags and bunting, and along its inside barrier there was arranged a bank of flowers and evergreens which had a singu- larly pleasing and picturesque effect. The commit- tee were provided with a platform immediately in front of the monument and were also surrounded with evergreens. The monument itself was veiled from view by a magnificent American flag of fine silk, and near its base the following lines by Mr. W. Ross Wallace, were fastened to tt:— Old World, he is not only thine; Our New World, too, has part As opulent and as'divine Tn his stupendous mind and heart, His monument’s for ev All breasts of Nature were So Shakspeare, with Truth’s per: Ts, in the distributing hands of Time, The mirror of God's unlverse. The ceremonies were announced to begin at three o'clock, but it was half an hour later before the signal was given to the orchestra to commence the rogramine by playing Berlioz's overture to “King ear.’ And here it may as well be said that, owing to the unfortunate direction of the wind, which blew directly in the face of the orchestra, the mnaic was by no means so effective as it might have been, all the finer effects, indeed, being absolutely lost. Perhaps a brass band might have been a little more audible, but brass bands are scarcely prea ien and the improvement would not have been very marked. However, though the overture was ouly half heard, the audi- ence were in the best of humor, and cheerily ap- plauded for the sake of what had reached their ears, taking the other half for granted as of equal merit. As soon asthe overture was finished Judge Daly rose, and in the following speech formally present- ed, 43 Chairman of the Executive Committee for the Monument, the statue to the Park Commission- ers.
