Significant Threat.

Mr.. Wickliffe, in addressing an anti-Ameri-
can meeting at New Orleans, warned his hear
ers of the foreign power amongst us Gle told
the Know-Nothings that, in yenturing upon
this undertaking to crush foreigners, they
were entering upon an undertaking the dan
gers Of which they did not understand. They
wore making an assault upon Sebastopol"
The refusal Of the foreign companies to sur.
render their arms TO the civil authorities in
Cincinnati, is specimen of the alien interest
which exists amongst us, and Mr.. Wickliffc's
speech is warning to guard against it

Brick BUnDIsds.-The Fireman's Journal says
that there appears TO be a great falling off th 9
year in the number of brick buildings erected in
San Francisco. Last year there we're at least two
hundred built, and the year before between three
and four hundred, and this year there are not over
twenty Gf so many brick buildings, going up.
Labor and materials are much lower than usual
but there appears to be perfect inactivity in all
such Investments The depreciation in rents may
possibly have some bearing upon the matter, but
the fact is evident that the city, as far as buildings
are concerned, is improving very slowly.-Sac

Messrs. Afford and Shorter, American and anti
American candidates for Congress In the Second
district Of Alabama, have finished their appoint
ments, and are now resting from their labors.
During the whole canvass Colonel ALTO. d, Z" the
war-horse Of Troup," completely kept the upper
hand Of his opponent, who, however, lay under the
disadvantage of having formerly been member Of
the Order and only left itbecause he did not sue
coed in getting the nomination.
General Zollicoffer, American candidate for Con-
gress in the Eighth district of Tennessee, viii, says
the Memphis Wing, be reelected by an increased
majority, despite all opposition; and Gentry will
also carry that district
There was great mass meeting at Elkton, Ken
lucky, on the 18th. Speeches were delivered by
General Pitcher, Hon. F. Bristow. Colonel Buckner
and others, which were listened TO with deep at
tention. All looks well in that quarter.
Says the West Tennessee Wing "We have
the most cheering accounts from the Hon. EN-.
Etheridges district. His reelection is regarded
as fixed fact, and large majority for Colonel
Gentry"
The Rockville (Md.) Journal has passed into the
hands Of j. G. Parker, by whom it will be pub
shed as an exponent Of American principles. The
name will be changed to the American Journal.
A Democratic meeting was held at Franklin,
Tennessee, to which Governor N. s. Brown was in
yited, and made one Of his best speeches. Mr..
Nicholson was to have answered him, but the rain
began to pour, and the crowd dispersed. The
arrangement was that Gov. Brown should speak
first and the two Democratic champions were then
to answer; but to that fair proposition he would
not agree.
The American Convention, in the 9Th district OF
Georgia, adjourned without making nomination.
Mr.. Stephens is thus left without opposition.
Accounts from all parts Of Alabama are OF
most cheering character. We suboin few ex-
tracts from our exchanges. The Montgomery
Mail saws: "by the accounts from Harrs's district,
we are sure that he will be beaten by Martin. A..
ford will without doubt be elected. There is no
chance of the reelection of the Hon. Benjamin
Fitzpatrick"
The accounts froE. Tennessee are extremely la
vorable Gentry viii make again OF two thou
sand on Johnson's vote in East Tennessee, and
in the Middle and Western part of the State all
goes well.
At a meeting of the American party OF St. Ian

convention, and deem the platform wise, liberal
and patriotic and worthy OF the support of all true
Americans"
The American convention of the 7th district Of
Georgia. met at Miledgevile on the 18th instant:
They chose Judge Cone, State delegate to the
Philadelphia Convention, president, and nominated
Mr.. N. s. Foster, as American candidate for Con-

FRANKFORT, MT, July "A, looo-
To-day was q gallant one for Kentuckisns Ac-
cording 10 appointment the Hon ]. J. Cittenden
addressed his fellow-citzens of Franklin and adj
joining counties upon the great question now agi-
tating the public mind. 1t would be preposterous
in me to attempt full report Of his great speech
In opening he read to his audience the platform
established at the Philadelphia Convention, and
boldly advocated every plank within it.
/ have heard many speeches, and from many
men, upon the political topics now agitating our
country, but am bound TO confess las hundreds did
to-day that the speech Of Mr.. Crittenden was the
master one of all Many persons belonging to no
party expressed themselves in favor of the Amer.
can party, and are determined to support the
American nominees in the coming contest Gen.
tlemen, could dwell on Mr.. Crittenden's speech
longer, and tell you of the eloquenee ichich fell
with such overwhelming power upon all could
then present his arguments with the same force
with which he impressed them upon his large as.
semby, and with what enthusiasm they were re.
ceived by almost the entire auditory 'twoud more
than fill volume During portion of his speech
all hearts were moved by his burning eloquence!
and many an eye was believed with the trickling
tear that stole softly down the cheek After q
speech of three hours, he closed, as he commenced
amidst the tremendous applause Of his fellow-coun'
trymen. He speaks again at the great ratification
meeting to come off on the 2sth at Versailles.
In conclusion, I say to you that our prospects
are daily Frightening Some few have gone out
from us, but have been replaced by four times
their number. Kentucky will go for the American
party by an overwhelming majority. Our daily
intelligence from all sections of the State fully JUS
tifes me in this position. For the present adieu.

FATAL STROKE by LrGHTSSG.-An eItraordi-
nary and most distressing Of death by stroke
Of lightning occurred yesterday near Lvington, on
the North river. Mr.. John Thomas, formerly of
the firm Of Thomas Franklin, Of this city, was at
work in an open field turning swaths Of hay with
fork, when thunder shower passed over, and a
streak Of lightning struck the end Of his fork shat
tered the handle, entered his side, inficting a
wound like gun-shot wound about two inches in
diameter, and passed out through the crown Of his
head, leaving aperture about one inch in diam
eter in bis skull OF course, his death instan-
taneous. The same streak Of lightning set fire TO
small stack Of hay upon which a son Of Mr..
Thomas was at work, and scorched the young
mans legs severely, but his injuries are not con-
sidered dangerous.
The wife Of Mr.. Thomas was absent from home
at the time on a visit to the family Of Professor
Sliman, in New Haven. She was Immediately
summoned by telegraph, and returned home, last
night to find her son suffering from severe inju-
ries, and her husband dead. This mournful event
has excited the most heartfelt sympathy.

of estimable character, and his death win DO sin
