During the severe thunder storm on lat

German Catholic Church located in the
north part of the city, was struck BIZ light.
ming. The electricity first struck the TOP
of the steepIe and passing down separated
into different currents spliutefin. the
timbers in various directions. Services
were progressing at the time, and The
church was filed to its utmost capaeity
with worsbippers.
The crash was awful, starting people to
their feet in all parts Of the city. The
gallery directly under the steeple was
crowded with people as was the space be-
meath, and the terrific fluid poured in
amongst them. For moment the whole
congregation were parslyzed, but on COM
| ing to consciousness scene occurred that
can better be imagined than described
The density Of the smoke led to The belief
that the church was on fire. A rush was
made for the doors and windows, and had
it not been Cor the timely admonitions Of
the venerable Pastor who did not lose bis
presence of mind, the list Of killed and
i,jured might have been numbered by
hurdreds. As it was. the rush was gres,
the windows were broken and the doors
forced { g their hinges by the escaping
crowd.
When the terror and excitement bad
somewhat abpted, the killed and injured
we're looked after. They were carried ou
into the rain, which soon revived these
who bad been knocked down and stunned
The following is list of the killed: Mrs
Hartman, wife of John Hartman, aged 81
years-leaves three children, the younges
six weeks old; Mrs. Ipgler,, wife Of PhiliI
Ingler, aged Sc years; Nicholas Young
son of n. YOung,lat Street Commissioner
aged Is years; Matthias Eugel. aged l.
years; Samuel Weymer, aged Is years
About twenty persons were severely bu
not dangerously injured. Indeed tho Who'll
congregation was more or less effected.
We reached the spot soon after the oc.
currenee, and the scene was enough t
pain the stoutest heart. The Iamentatier
over the dead, the means aud cries os til,
Injured, and the anxious search by friend
tor dear ones whom they feared had falleI
victims and their EXPLANATIONS Of gratitude
and JOY on finding them safe. combined Il
render the occasion one long to be remem
bered.
The funeral of the killed took place from
tae church yesterday afternoon, and wa
attended by vast concourse of people.

good advice to our Irish fellow-citizens.-
Whatever an Irish-man has which he would
not have had if he had remained in Ireland,
or if he had migrated to the Southern States,
and worked among the poor white trash in
competition with slaves-in whatever degree
his home is more comfortable, his Children
better educated, or his future prospect brigh-
tened, he is indebted for it all to those ideas
and institutions of Northern freedom of
which Abraham Lincoln is the political re-
preventative. Let every lrishman, therefore,
read the letter of Daniel O'Connell on the
duty OF lrlshmen 10 support emancipation in
Amorica /; let him reflect on the interest old
Ireland has in the preservation of the Union,
and let him vote for Lincoln and liberty and
rcpudiate that faction of undmeocratic trait
ors which is supported by every aristocrat
and enemy of Ireland in Great Britain.

The Elections.

The election in this section of country
passed eff with more than usual quietness
on Tuesday last. The result in tho

scramble for the spoils-the indications

From the State at large the returns
are meagre, but are sufficiently full to
show that the Unionists will have re

which will be largely increased by the
vote from the army. We have gained al

From Indiana we have the gratifying
intelligence that Morton, the Union eau

Jority of 10000. We have gained two
members of Congress and have good
chance for a third. The election Of
Morton, with the soldiers debarred from
voting by the opposition of the democracy,
was barely hoped for.
From Ohio the news comes that the
Unionists are triumphant, by a rousing
majority. OF Congressman We have

Geo. William Curtis, the distinguished
author, nominated for Congress in one of the
New York districts. made the following hap
py opening to one of his recent speeches:
There is one major general in the service
of the United States who does not believe in
an immediate cessation of hostilties.-
There is one general who did not give the
rebels day to escape up the Shenandoah
Valley-a general who is never late-one
of the carly birds that catches all the worms.

in the service of the United States whose
words of heroic loyalty rang like bugle
call through the ranks of rebellion and Sc :
cession "lf any man hauls down the Ameri-
can flag shoot him on the spot!" [Cheers.
My friends, there is another major general
In the service of the United States. and he
says: "If any man hauls down the American
can flag, let us all go at once into conven-
tion, and 'exhaust all the resources of states

A Converted Mcclellan Man.

Aa officer in the 196th Regiment Pennsyl.
vania Volunteers writes from Springfield
Illinois, to a friend in this city, under date ol
October 3, 1864, as follows;
81 am going to give you piece of infor.
nation, which will make you open your eyes
to the fullest extent. /, a rank Democrat
warm friend of General Mcclellan, am 60
ing to vote for Abraham Lincoln. But one
thing has led me to make up my mind to
such course, and that is one which no one,
who has not been out here in the West, can
appreciate.
sin the East we think we have Secession
sympathizers, but here, especially in this
State (Iliinots) and Indiana, Secession feel
ing, it is nothing else, is rampant, bold, un-
blushing, and prevalent, to most alarming
degree. They openly proclaim their object
peace on any terms, and the recognition OF
the Southern Confederacy. The existence
of this feeling is what has decided me to vote
for Lincoln, not because he is the candidate
of any party, but because he is for war
consider that in voting for him l vote SIM
ply for the pros. 'cution of The war;"
The l96th Regiment has been doing
duty in Illinois for the past two months

Clellan, in the Peninsula campaign, and
is still his admirer; but learning, from per.
sonal observation, the intention and prin-
cples of those who support him, is forced to
