HE APPALLING OCCURRENCE AT DANvILLE
PENN.-The Lewisburgh Chronicle, of Wednes-
day, gives the particulars the injury the Meth
odist Church at Danville, by lightning, on Sunday
last:
The congregation were kneeling in prayer, just
before the sacrament to be administered
There were previous indications of a storm, ex-
cept slight sprinkle of rain, and a cloud which
seemed to be gathering in northerly direction.
he steeple was first struck and much shattered.
After reaching the main building, the electric fluid
divided into two separate currents-one passing
throagh the ceiling and along the chain by which
one OF the lamps was suspended (both of which
latter were demolished,) directly down into the
midst of the crowded congregation, tearing up the
foor and pews considerably, and instantly killing
Mrs Pencil, and inf citing alarming injuries upon
her sister, Miss Vastine. and eight or nine others
mostly females, besides stunning and otherwise
affecting many other persons.
The ladies' dresses were much torn as well as
set on fire, and in in stances ripped complete
ly open to the flesh by the force of the terrific bolt
Mrs. Pencils person bore external marks of
injury, but most OF the others were scorched and
discolored to greater or less extent. The other
current passed out through the brick wall by the
front door, tearing off the facngs and prostra ting
young man named Jones, who was Just at that mo-
ment in the act of entering. The lightning struck
his right shoulder, tore his right boot fragments,
and blstered mis- flesh from shoulder to heel so
badly that the skin peeled off when his clothes
were removed.
Our informant gentleman of this place, who
was IN the chapel at the time says it was the most
appalling scene OF CONSERVATION and distress he
ever witnessed.
= The chapel is new building and the entire ele.
walton of the steeple dome, is about eighty feet
and had no lightning rod, though we understand
one had been contracted for, and expected to
be put up IN the course OF the summer.

Washington, May 2, 1s51-A dispatch to the
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
Government is daily receiving intelligence of
movements in different parts of the South, which
It is supposed are connected with the uba inva-
sion plot, although nothing definite is known. The
Collector OF Savannah ac;ed upon his own respon.
siolity, that's without being particularly instructed
oy the Department in chartering the steamboat in
pursuit OF supposed cargo of Patriots. The
laney revenue cutter was ordered to Savannah
some days ago. If party of invasionists were to
succeed In getting off, and chose to resist the over
hauling OF any of our vessels, it is extremely
doubtful whether the authorities of the United
States would feel justified in using force. 1t is
therefore, deemed of the greatest importance that
their embarkation should be prevented.
Orders have been dispatched by the War De-
partment to the officers the frontier, urging
them to exercise increased vigilance and activity
In the suppression OF Indian outrages, in compli-
ance with the stipulation OF our treaty with Mexico
he opinion of the Attorney General has been
given, contrmatory CT the right OF the President to
transfer, as he may deem proper, any appropra-
ions Tor specific purpose to a general object of
the same nature. 1t is, therefore, probable that as
much OF the appropriations for the Quartermaster's
and Paymasters Departments can be directed to
the support OF troops on the Mexican frontier will
be transferred for that duty; and it is hoped that
by the extraordinary exertions of gallant Off
GERS, our treaty stpulations will be honorably car
RED out, notwithstanding the criminal neglect of
Congress.
nj. Bots LIE Compile, the French Minister took
leave of the President to-day. 1t will be remem-
bered he has been recalled.
1t is not true, has been stated, that the Census
Office has completed its work-the vacancies
caused by removals of clerks to be filled
The Susquehanna, Capt Aulick, will leave Nor
folk for the East Indies about the 18th instant.
Samuel King, Surveyor general of California,
will leave for that State on Monday.
There was Cabinet meeting to-day for the pur-
pose of considering the plans for the enlargement
of the capitol.

The AMERICAN FLAG UPON THE Runs OF
MISUNDERSTANDING the passengers who recently
left New York in the steamer Baltic, for Liverpool,
was Lucius c. Duncan, Esq. of New Orleans, and
a graduate of Yale olege. He has now started
on tour through the Eastern world, and intends
not to stop until he shall have made his way to the
ruins OF Thebes and the Pyramids. Mr.. Duncan
carries with him a miniature flag of the United
States, made of costly materials, and also flag
STALL which was recently cut by President Fill
more, at Mount Vernon, within fifty feet of the
grave OF Washington. The staff was presented
by Gen. Scott to Mr. Duncan, who has had it
neatly arranged in sections after the manner of the
hsherman's rod, and placed in a convenient port
able case, ready for the purposes which it is des-
tined In the service of the Stars and Strpes. Mr..
duncan means to plant this staff, bearing upon il
the costly and beautiful flag alluded to above upon
the walls of Nineveh.

Convention Of Southern Rights Associa-
lions in Charleston, 8. G.

tons IN Cn8rlo8tOms 81 c.
The Charleston Courier, of the 9Th, has the first
days proceedings at length. These will be con-
led, in full detail, in very few papers out of the
State of South Carolina. One or two Northern
journals have sent reporters to Charleston to take
full notes and make extended comments on the
state of feeling displayed on the occasion. This
will seem to give more Importance to the proceed.
ings than they really have claim to, but may do
very well as a newspaper speculation. We do not
deny the great importance of this Convention to
those unfortunately involved in its issues but out
side of South Carolina, or anywhere in the Uni.
ted States,n the issues of the Conven ton will ava
ken no great sensation.
Chairmen and secretaries were appointed, and
the delegates enrolled their names, each under the
Association from which he hailed. There were
represented 40 Associations, numbering in the ag-
gregate 431 members President and secretaries
of the Convention were appointed. The rules that
prevailed in the Convention Of 1882, with the ex-
ception of the Cd and 9th, were adopted for gov
eminent of this Convention. A committee was
appointed to lead the President to the chair, which
duty having been performed, the President ad-
dressed the Convention He referred to the griev-
ances imposed on the South. He said that he was
and is Union man. Ten years ago there was no
man SO bold as to calculate even the value of the
Union, and had any one attempted to do So he
would have felt appalled, at the work of his own
hands. He considered, however, that under exist
ing crcum stances, Southern institutions could not
exist twenty years. He said that should be
taken in removing the ills we suffer- that we fly
not to others that know not of. The address
was free from incendiarism, and altogether dig
nifed.
A prayer by reverend gentleman closed the pro-
ceedngs of the day. 1t was agreed that the meet
ings of the Convention be opened with prayer, and
that the services of those of the various denomina-
tons be invited.
As the meeting was about to close, delegation
from Georgia arrived in the Hall, and committee
was appointed to receive them and assign seats to
them.

RAILROAD FESTIVAL IN ALABAMA-The rail
road has been completed from Montgomery to West

vicinity gave barbecue on the Sd instant, in cele,
bration of the event More than five thousand
persons are said to have been present, fifteen hun

An extra train of cars took the stockholders and a
