EAR1HouAEEs IN JAPAN AND CALIFORNIA
By the arrival of the steamship Prometheus at
New Orleans on the 18th, intelligence has been
received by way of San Francisco Of terrible
earthquake in Japan on the 1Ith of November.
by which the city of Jeddo was destroyed. 1t
IS estimated that one hundred thousand houses
were demolished, burying in their ruins Mirtg
houscnd human beings. Fire broke out at the
same time in thirty different parts of the city,
and as the consuming flames were encircling
the buildings, the earth would open and then
speedily close over them and their unfortunate
inmates who knew not whittier to fee.
a severe shock of an earthquake was also
experienced in California, on the 18th Febru-
airy. In San Francisco and other towns many
baildings were more OF less injured, some hav-
ing the walls shattered and the tops thrown of,
whilst others rocked to and fro like a cradle.
Hen, women and children were seen rushing
through the houses in their night clothes, seek
ing safety from the supposed danger The
shock was felt throughout the State, and by
vessels lying in the harbor, and the waters of
the bay at San Francisco were much agitated
No lives, it is thought, were lost. Many per-
sons, who lived in large brick buildings, after
the shock took up temporary quarters in wood
en- tenements.

"UE1oN FOR THE SAKE OF THE UNION 1.-The
call for the Union Convention, which is to as
semble at Harrisburgh on the 26th, has met
with pretty general and hearty response
throughout the State. The American, Whjg
ana Republican presses have favored it with
equal cordiality, and meetings have been call
ed In majority of the counties to select del
ogates- There is little doubt that the Conyen-
tion VIII be well attended, and it is to be hoped
will be composed of men of prudence and a.
biiity, who viii adopt such measures as will
yet reconcile difficulties and effect the con-
templated union. To accomplish this, a con-
ciuatory spirit must be exercised by every one
personal feelings and prejudices must be laid
aside-old animosities must not be permitted
TO sway the opinions Of any-ultraism must
De thrown away-concessions must be made
by all. If dissention anG distraction are al
lowed to exist in the anti-Administratio
ranks, nothing else than discontinue and de-
feat nsed be expected. On the other hand. it
is morally certain that il the different opposi-
ton elements can be combined and be made
to work harmoniously, they will ride triun
phantiy over their foes in tho ensuing cam
paign.

respectable citizen of Morris township, con-
tanning the proceedings OF a meeting of the
School Directors of that township, at which a
motion made by one Of the Board TO the
effect that the school houses should be open
for the preaching of the gospel. Our cores
pondent says the motion ''Iyas met with great
vehemence and violently opposed By three of

pose the gospel, being Roman Catholic" 4
