An Exploring Party.---WOnderf
Discoveries.

A party of gentleman returned on Wednesday
night from an exploring expedition into a sec
ton of country almost unknown, about fifty
miles above Benicia. They had been induced
to make the trip from the wonderful accounts
brought by few hunters who had visited that
portion of the State. The party consisted of
FIVE, including an old hunter who was acquainted
with the country. They reached point within
ten miles of the spot they desired TO explore
without any difficulty, and then commenced TO
force their way over mountains and hills through
dense growth Of chaparral. When they arri-
we'd within short distance of mountain tow
ards which they had been making all day, they
heard tremendous roaring and kissing, which
en- examination, they found 10 proceed from
steam issuing from number of apertures in
the mountains sides, and sounding Ike great
number of steamboats, '.blowing off, They
were astonished at the geological formation of
the country. In one spot was spring bubbling
up, the water of which so hot to scald
the hand; while not far of, another discharged
an ice-eold stream. Mineral springs of all kinds
abounded- sulphur, alum, carbonated and chaly-
beate. A piece of wood placed in one was soon
seasoned and fast becoming petrihed. They
found also a number of Ignite. Minerals of
many kinds were picked up in the vicinity; the
whole country covered with sulphur, and
they could see the process of the formation of
limestone going on in the mountain before their
eyes. mountain of salt was not far of.
They describe the whole country abounding
In game of all sorts-bear, deer, elk, hares,
ducks, quails and in fact every species of wild
| animal. The very grass was worn way by the
tread of their feet
They returned highly delighted with their
trip, and convinced that half the wonders OF
California have not yet been developed.-.Sd''

4 number of japanese promenaded Long
Wharf on Sunday, followed by crowd anxious
TO satisfy their curiosity, about nation so much
talked of and so little known. They were part
of the seventeen who were discovered in a junk,
bound to one of their northern ports, and picked
up by Capt. Jennings of the bark Auckland,
many hundred miles out to sea, whittier they
had been driven by violent storm. The Empire
of Japan, owing TO the jealous policy of the
Government, has been up TO this time sealed
book to civilized nations, exciting their curiosity
by vague reports of its immense population, and
the singular character and habits of its people.
Cinnamon We have long had in our midst, but
these we believe are the first visiters from the
closely guarded shores of Japan. The party
we saw consisted of twelve, from the boy Of
thirteen TO the old man bent with age. They
are somewhat similar to the Chinese in appear
ance, although, there are features peculiar 10
themselves which at once distinguish them from
their neighbors of the Celestial Empire They
are as a nation very low in stature-none OF the

of the yellowish olive hue characteristic Of the
Mongohan race. Their straight, black hair,
was drawn tightly up from the base of the head,
and tied in a knot on the crown Some of them
had their fronts shaved closely like the tonsure
of priest-the crowns of the rest were shaven,
forming round bald space on the top. This
was, with one exception, covered over with the
long hair that was brought up from below-the
badness occasionally peeping through the COW

The Appalling Occurrence at
DanyfIIe.

The Lewisburg Chronicle of Wednesday gives
the particulars Of the injury to the Methodist
Church at Danville, by lightning, on Saturday
last
The Congregation were kneeling in prayer,
just before the sacrament to be administered
There were no previous indications of a storm,
except slight sprinkle of rain, and cloud
which seemed to be gathering In northerly
direction. The steeple was first struck, and
much shattered. After reaching the main build
ing, the electric fluid divided into two separate
currents-one passing through the ceiling and
along the chain by which one of the lamps was
suspended, (both of which latter were deInol-
ished directly down into the midst Of the
crowded congregation, tearing up the floor and
pews considerably, and instantly killing Mrs
Pencil, and inficting alarming injuries upon her
sister, Miss Vastino, and eight or nine others,
mostly females, besides stunning and otherwise
partially affecting many other persons. The
ladies' dresses were much torn, as well as set on
fire, and in some instances ripped completely
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 facings and
prostrating young man named Jones, who was
lust at that moment in the act Of entering. The
lightning struck his right shoulder, tore his
right boot to fragments, and blistered his flesh
from shoulder to heel so badly that the skin
peeled off when his clothes were removed
.sOur 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
1.-The chapel is new building, and the entire
elevation Of the stceple, dome, is about
eighty feet and had no lightning rod, though we
understand one had been contracted for, and
was expected to be put up in the course of the
summer
1--WE learn by gentleman from Danviile last
evening, that the injured persons were ali In a
| hopeful way for recovery"

a Fortunate Kiss.

The following little story by Miss Bremen is
furnished 10 Sartaia's Aggazfne. For its truth
and reality she says she viii be responsible =
In the University of Upsala, in Sweden, lived
young student lonely youth, with great
love for studies, but without means for pursuing
them. He was poor, and without connections.
Still he studied, living in great poverty, but
keeping a cheerful heart, and trying not TO look
at the future, which looked so grimly at him
His good humor and good qualities made him
beloved by his young comrades. Once he
standing with some of them in the great squares
of Upsala, prating away an hour of leisure,
when the attention of the young men became
arrested by very young and elegant lady, who,
at the side of elderly one, walked slowly
over the place 1t was the daughter of the
Governor of Upland, living in the city, and the
lady with her was her governess. She was
generally known for her beauty and for her
goodness and gentleness of character, and was
looked upon with great admiration by the stu
dents. As the young men now stood silently
gazing at her, as she passed on like a graceful
vision, one of them exclaimed:
well, II would be worth something to have
a kiss from such mouth -
1.-The poor young student, the hero of our
story, who was looking intently on that pure
and angelic face, exclaimed, as if by inspiration,
"Wel, think 1 could have it"
What" cried his friends in chorus, are
you crazy? Do you know her ?'' etc.
Not at all, y he answered ssbut l think she
would kiss me, just now, if asked her.
'tWhat, in this place, before all our eyes?''
.'In this place, before your eyes,
..Freely?''
s'Freely.''
"Wen, if she will give you a kiss in that
manner, viii give you thousand doIlarsl'
exclaimed one of the party.
aAnd I!'' "And Il" cried three or four
others, for it so happened that several rich
young men were in the group, and bets ran
high on so improbable an event, and the chal-
lenge was made and received in less time than
we take to relate it
Our hero-(my authority tells not whether
he was handsome or plain; have my peculiar
reasons for believing that he was rather plain,
but singularly good-looking at the same timel-
our hero Immediately walked off to meet the
young lady. He bowed to her, and said, My
lady, (rnin roIeen,) my fortune is in your hand. .
She looked at him in astonishment, but arrested
hcr steps. He proceeded TO state his name ard

up and down, thus keeping watch the whole
night But no robber again appeared.
On the morrow, the lady continued the jour
ney with her companion. The weather had
cleared up, and only the puddles in the lanes,
and the drops of rain glistehing On the branches,
reminded them Of the cloudssof the previous
day After they had ridden about an hour,
they suddenly heard the discharge Of a rife
close to them in the woods. Haburak stepped
forth from the bushes, and bid the coachman
halt
The horses stopped; the Prince drew forth his
pistols But Haburak, without needing his
door and said
I'VE yesterday sacrificed our comfort that
the rest Of this lady should not be disturbed.
Now 1 will see whether it was worth the trou-
ble"
With these words, he lifted the veil which
hung down from the lady's bonnet, and looked
for an instant into her face. The lady blushed,
and the robber said
s.She is really very pretty"
He turned round, plucked wild rose from a
bush close at hand, and offered it TO the lady,
with these words
Accept this rose kindly as a keepsake from
the poor robber Haburak; and if you sometime
hear that he has been hanged, pray an Ave
Maria for his SOUL
The lady took the rose, and the robber van
ished-
Two years later, the newspapers related that
the robber Haburak had been caught: that he
had been tried at the assizes in lorna, convic-
ted of desertion and highway robbery, and
hanged

Word to Little Girls.

Who is lovely? 1t is the little girl who drops
sweet words, kind remarks, and pleasant smiles,
as she passes along; who has kind word of
sympathy for every girl or boy she meets in
trouble, and a kind hand to help her compan-
ions out of difficulty; who never scolds, never
contends, never teases her mother, nor seeks in
any way to diminish, but always TO increase
her happiness. Would il not please you 10 pick
up string of pearls, drops of gold, diamonds,
or precious stones, as you pass along the street?
But these are the precious stones which can
never be lost Take the hand of the friendless-
Smile on the sad and detected. Sympathize
with those in trouble. Strive everywhere to
difuse around you sunshine and JOY. If you
do this, you will be sure 10 be beloved.

condition, his aspiration, and related simply and
truly what had just passed between him and his
companions. The young lady listened atten-
lively, and when he ceased to speak, she said,
hlushing, but with great sweetness: ssIf by so
little a thing so much good can be effected, ii
would be foolish IN me to refuse your request"
and she kissed the young man publicly in the
open square.
Next day the young student was sent for by
the Governor. He wanted to see the man who
had dared TO ask kiss of his daughter in that
way, and whom she had consented to kiss so.-
He received him with severe and scrutinizing
brow, but after an hours conversation, was SO
pleased with him that he offered him to dine at
his table during his studies in Upsala.
Our young FRIEND now pursued his studies in
a manner which soon made him regarded as the
most promising scholar at the Univerity. Three
years were not passed after the day of the first
kiss, when the young man was allowed TO give
second one to the daughter of the Governor, as
to his intended bride.
He became. later, one of the greatest scholars
in Sweden, as much respected for his learning
forever among the works of science; and from
his happy union sprung a family well known in
Sweden in the present day, and whose wealth
of fortune and high position in society are re-
garded as small things, compared with its wealth
Of goodness and love.

An American Grace Darling.

a young, intelligent and interesting woman,
residing within sixty miles Of New York, has,
with the assistance of an aged and infrm father,
saved tWenty-one lives within the last fifteen
years Kate Moore is the daughter of Captain
Moore, who keeps the lighthouse on Fairweath-
er Island, situated midway between the Har-
bours of Black Rock and Bridgeport, (Ct) The
island contains five acres of land, and is about
half a mile from the shore. Many disasters, it
is known, have occurred TO vessels driven round
Montauk Point in a storm, and sometimes in
the Sound to homeward bound, and this lady's
ear is accurate, 1t is said, she distinguish
the shrieks of the drowning mariner, and direct
her barque IN the darkest night. She can trim
a boat, and manage as well as any man, and
seems TO make up in tact what she lacks in
strength, and never refuses TO turn out in the
darkest night to the relief of the sufferers.
Our informant adds that she is highly accom-
plished and literary lady, and perfectly fernin-
inc in her manners, and that, although she oc-
casionally visits New York and other places in
that vicinity, and has large and most respect
able acquaintance, many of whom know of these
facts, they have never come 10 the knowledge of
( the public before. The late lameuted Major
Noah, who was remarkable for collecting the
most interesting facts, by some means became
acquainted with them. We also understand
| that Captain Moore and his worthy helpmate
have resided upon the island over twenty years,
and brought up family of five children, upon
a salary of three hundred dollars a year, all of
whom have an excellent education, and that
they entertain great many persons who visit
the island, with true old-fashioned hospitality.

EBEIsBURG. MAY IS. 1851.

The President, on taking the chair, camly
and temperately reviewed the position Of affairs.
He considered that Southern institutions, under
existing circumstances, could not last twenty
years. He alluded foreibly to the disregard Of
blood and treasure expended by the Scusa iri
fhe acquisition Of territory, and her subsequent
exclusion from these territories; and said that
when dangers threatening our existence, thus
reach our doors, il was time TO arm against
them. 1t was futile to hope that the Constitn-
ton, based upon such legislation, could survive.
Concession could yield nothing to its support.
The deliberations Of the Convention, he said,
should be confined 70 the when, where, and how
resistance should be made, though he confessed
it should not be resorted to rashly. He, how
ever, would not discuss that question, as he did
not desire 10 bias the minds Of the members.
He loved the Union; he did not believe there
was amateur disunionist among them. He
advocated union amongst ourselves. If an enc
my forming in our rear, said he, let US
await their approach-if on our van, let US
march up to them. Il has been said that whom
God and Nature Joined together, should not be
put asunder; but the reverse may also be ap-
plied-Those whom God and Nature has put
asunder, let no man join together.
He then argued at length on the want Of
affinity between the two sections of the country,
and advised earnest and temperate deliberation.
The Convention then adjourned for the day
The votes tomorrow viii settle the question of
