sERENADE TO SENATOR BFI1,


PHILADELPHIA, May IA meeting was held
this evening at the Constitutional party head
quaters. Addresses by the delegates of the late
Convention. procession was formed, headed V
a band, which proceeded to the La Pierre House
TO serenade Senator Bell. Mr.. Bell was intro
dueed from the balcony. by Joseph r. Ingersoll
who eulogized the unanmty of the Convention
and the candidates presented.
Mr.. Bell was received with cheers He said it
would be contrary to human nature if he did NOT
feel deeply sensible of the honor paid him bnt
he also felt that the assemblage was mainly to an
prove of the action OF the Convention. He did
not appear to make speech upon the political
topics of the day, but to utter his thanks for the
present manifestation. He alluded 10 the cause
W hch led to the CUnvention,-it being the dis
trust OF both the democratic and Republican par
ties He trusted that the party to succeed them
would lie party of the Union aud Constitution of
the Country. The condition of the country re-
quled the people to come forth in their might
and est determination to call back the
country the true objects of the institution of 4
Republc-o government, and not exhaust its en-.
ergies lii distractions. 1t is manifest that the
public confidence in the stability of the Republic
has deteriOrated within the last twenty years.
The Convention therefore wisely banishtd from
its consideration all exciting topics that have
scattered di5trust petween the North and the South
knowing that it could lead to no public eood-
That that Convention thought fit among such
host OF worthles to select your speakers, is COM
pllment OF which / feel my very unworthiness-
He concluded by trusting that the party founded
with such auspicious harmony and good feeling
would be successful in establishing a new era
and if so, the Convention shall not have labored
IN vain. His course for the last twenty wears was
well known, and it would be needless to refer to
it. Again thanking the crowd for the honor con-
fered upon hira, Mr. Bell retired, amid hearty
cheering

THE FATAL Picnic PARTY.-A person who
was present at the terrible catastrophe which oc-
Cured at Boyken's mill, near Camden, South
Carolina, the 5th inst, the particulars of which
we have published, communicates the following
in reference to the disaster to the Charleston
Courier of May 9:
All went on well till FIVE o'clock in the af-
ternoon when Mr.. Alexander and few others
went off few hundred yards, and about sixty of
the gay, light-hearted young people stepped into
large fat and taking their violns and guitars
along, pushed off some fifty yards from the shore
The fat a snag that penetrated it's bottom.
The affrighted girls ran to one end. 1t sank, and
sixty human beings were struggling in the deep
water. A panic seized them all. Strong men
good swimmers, ladies and children, all lost their
presence of mind The shreks of those on shore
and the one loud scream of those on the fiat called
persons from every direction.
Mr.. Alexander plunged in and rescued four
ladies. Feeling body under his feet, he
pulled it up. 1t proved to be his daughter
Minnie. Eevery meaus resorted so for her
resuscitation, but it was then too late. She was
dead.
80 what time we had yesterday! Such
hurry for graves! and such hard work to obtain
cof6ns-twenty-six in all Few persons slept
on Saturday night. The cars went down for
the bodies Many ctize1s went down on
them. The pond drained. Ten bodies were
taken to the Methodist Church at o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The bodies were conveyed
thither in three long wagons. 1t heart rem
ding sight.
Fifteen young persons, from fifteen to twen-
ty years of age, drowned. There are seve-
raj funerals to take place to day. 1t is day of
Gil decreed that all business should be suspen-
ded."

Episcopal Convention-The Next Session

CHARLOTTE, May II, 1860.
Episcopal Convention-The Next Session
be held i'm Newbern.
Mr.. Editor :-Will you be good as to allow
me little space in your columns for brief ac-
count of the proceedings of the Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, i'll the Diocese of
North Carolina in session in st. Peters
Church, Charlotte.
The Convention assembled on Wednesday,
May 9, and Immediately after its organization,
Divine Service performed by the Rev. Messrs.
Croes, of the Diocese of New York, and Cheshire
of this State. The Convention Sermon was
preached by the Rev. Edwin Geer, Rector of St.
Peters Church, Washington, the blessings
provided in scripture to the Church of God. and
the Importance of membership in that Church,
The holy communion was then administered.
Discourses have since been delivered by the
Rev E. M. Forbes, the invitation contained
in the parable of the marriage supper, and the
cuses which were given for re- jecting the gracious
offers of the Gospel; by the Rev VIM Hodges,
on the laws of God, and the nature and results of
obedience to them; by the Rev. G. B. Cheshire,
on the practical heathenism, manifested by pro-
fessedy Christian people, and by the Rev. DIR.
Drane, the frequent uselessness and bad con-
sequences of good professions produced by fear.
and the superior excellence of care to God a
motive of conduct.
Bishop Atkinson read his annual address to the
| Convention on Thursday afternoon. He has per
formed large amount of labor during the past
year in all parts of the State. The condition of
the Church IN this Diocese, he represents favor
able.
No very important business has yet been trans
acted by the Convention, and it is probable that
few subjects of much interest will require consid-
Grafton at. this time. Much is gained however,
| by the intercourse with one another, which we
are all enjoying and we hope the influence of
the Convention upon the prosperity of the Church
at Charlotte will be not nconsiderable.
Much admiration is expressed for the handsome
Church edfce in which are holding meet
ings and there is universal feeling of gratitude
around us for the courtesy and hospitality mani
tested by the citizens of Charlotte of all religious
| persuasions.
Your readers will be interested in learning that
it has already been decided that the next annual
| Convention shall be held in Christ Church, New
bern on the third Wednesday in May, 1861.

EDITOR OF THE DAILY PROGRESS: :"
Dear Sir Il find a statement In your issue
of the 18th inst to the effect that the worthy Di
rectors of the A. & N. G. R. r. had or was about
making change of schedule for the Mail Trains
said Road Permit me, sir, through the col
umns of the Progress, as one of the Stockholders,
(and 1 think sir speak the sentiment of nineteen
twentieths of the Stockholders to enter my pro-
test against any change of schedule L heartily
concur with you, sir, in your remarks on the sub
ject.
1t is an old adage and one that holds good in
this case that it is we'll enough to let we'll enough
alone. think the Road has been working very
we'll and with much satisfaction AS could be
expected under the present schedule. l have not
heard one word of complaint in regard to it. If
the Road is not doing we'll as they think it
might am very that change of schedule
would be for the worse, instead of the better.
think the present Board of Directors has sufficient
ty experimental in that line to conoince any pruti
ticat business of that fact. Now sir am
ry to see a move of this kind, so detrimental to
the interest of of the Road and attended with so
much Inconvenience to all concerned, started at
this time, the Annual Meeting of the Stochold-
ers comes off at no distant day.
The prime mover movers in the proposed
change may, and doubtless have. some other end
in view than the immediate benefit accruing to
the Road by the change. 1t is hard for the inno-
cent to be confounded with the guilty, and do
hope that those members of the present Board,
through whose influence much wiring and
changing has been effected, if elected by the in
divdual and county or town stock: may be des-
lgnated pointed out, that Stockholders may
vote wisely at the ensuing election.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May Sth, 1860.

Dear PrOgrcsS The Convention of the assem-
bled wisdom of the Methodist Church are now
assembled here, this being the eighth day of the
session. Their committees have been all formed
and accepted, and now comes the 'tug of war"
The committee Oh Slavery is composed of rantng
abolitionists, you may have some idea of the
sweet resolutions that in store for the alright
ed multitude On Friday the Slavery question
has its first hearing and the excitement will pro-
badly be raised to the highest pitch, there are
Southern well Northern delegates in the
field. Their meetings of last week were pretty
quiet. and as before storm everything seems to
be in lull preparing for lreak out next Friday.
Bishops Morris and Ames have alternately filled
the chair.
The session will probably last from four to six
weeks and is in many respects one of the most I'M
portant meetings ever held in the United States.
We had quite large fire here the other night
The old Niagara Falls depot, which was used as
an Ice-house, caught on fire, or rather was set on
fire, and the roof was entirely consumed, besides
spelling several ice creams, mipt juleps, sherry
coblers, &c, in the prospective.
The weather here now is delightful the bamy
breath of Spring enlivens everything, and the
harbor is very nearly clear of the ice which is
ried with fearful rapidity down the Niagara river
and over the falls. One of the most beautiful
views in the world can be had from Fort Porter
on the city line. It shows the Niagara running
resistlessly toward its fearful leap, while in the
opposite shore the Canadian country rises clothed
in a coat of living green, thus contrasting so
strangely town and country. CAVALIER.
