Philadelphia Convention.

Spirit of the First Day. The Bain Dampens the Enthusiasm. DIXIE APPLAUDED WILDLY. Indiana Delegations Fraternal. The Burial of Democracy. Philadelphia, August 11. The scenes upon the assembling of the delegates and spectators at the wigwam presented the usual characteristics of a big thing of that sort. The building was found far from complete, and as the weather was anything but promising, and the roof leaking, the comfort of the throng was imperilled, though their ardor was by no means dampened. The first noticeable feature of the day was the commotion caused by the entrance of the Massachusetts and South Carolina delegations, arm-in-arm, which circumstance, on being known, called forth outbursts of huzsas almost deafening in volume. The proceedings to-day lasted not longer than an hour. Just as the adjournment took place a heavy rainstorm came up, and the scene at the exit doors was anything but romantic. There was no adequate provision of street cars to accommodate the crowd bound homeward, and every sort of vehicle was in great demand. The roof of the Wigwam would not shed or hold water, and many received severe drenchings. It was nearly three hours before all could get away. VALLANDIGHAM OUT. The absence of Vallandigham was a great relief to the late Union men. He announced his determination to withdraw about 10 o'clock, after having been labored with during the whole night by all who were supposed to have any influence over him. Wood and Dean were bought off. It has not yet transpired what caused Val's decision. DIXIE. At the most apportune juncture the band played Dixie, at which all hands seemed to go wild. AN ENTHUSIASTIC INDIVIDUAL. General Custer, of Union cavalry fame, rendered himself very conspicuous by being the first one to jump upon a bench, swing his hat and cheer. " The Star Spangled Banner," which followed, was comparatively faintly cheered. " The Battle Cry of Freedom" was half played through before a cheer greeted it. While there was this strong pressure from inside the Convention against Vallandigham, there was a pressure from outside equally strong in his favor. He was waited upon, yesterday and day before, by large numbers of influential Democrats, not delegates, requesting him to stand firm in the assertion of his right to a seat. It seemed, last night, as if the admission of Vallandigham was the only possible source of discord for to-day, and the leaders of the Convention exerted themselves to procure an amicable settlement of the question. Before agreeing to withdraw, Vallandigham demanded and received his ticket of admission as a delegate, and he seems to regard this fact quite a triumph. It is understood that, in consideration of his withdrawal, he is to be honored with a call for one of the speeches which are to be made in the city before the adjournment of the Convention. GREAT JOY REIGNETH. There is a perfect jubilee among the Johnsonites over the absence of storms in the Convention to-day. Having hoilCrht. off t.hA nto.f fnnnnr heads, and fettered the rebels with their own music and a set of compromise flags, it seems to be believed that the preparatory offerings have been made to these powers of darkness, and that fortune will now smile upon the movement. INDIANA DELEGATES. The Indiana loyal delegation occupy rooms in the Continental, fronting on Chestnut Street, and the disloyal delegation occupy quarters in the GirardHouse, immediately opposite. Fortunately the street is very narrow, and it was rich to see Ben. Davis of Shelby, a life long Democrat, in a political feast with Colonel Rose. It was also good to see Hendricks and Colonel Meredith come in arm in arm to the Inner O'Cablo marriage ceremony, and joining the soreheads to the idols. George Francis Train publishes the following manifesto this morning: " Parlor No. 5, Aug. 14, 1866. "To the Executive Committee: "My proxy is in your hands. I wanted harmony we have got it. Some time since I proposed to withdraw if one or two others would. They kept their promise ; I keep mine. "Permit me to add a suggestion, luesday, organize ; Wednesday, pass resolutions; Thursday, adjourn; Friday, and every day till the fall elections, all the delegates should make speeches for the National Union paly, thereby burying forever the two offensive words Democrat and Republican. Sincerely, Geo. Francis Train." American Citizenship. The Copperhead party leaders in Indiana contend that because the first clause of

the proposed amendment to the Constitution declares H persons born m the United States to be citizens, it couferb the right f suffrage upon the colored people. In proof of this they cite Webster's definition of the word "citizen?' This question was ably handled by Lieut. Gov. Baker of Indiana, in a speech delivered at Wheatland, in that State, on Saturday, which we print in another place. It is a settler. Cm. Gazette. Special to the Cincinnati Times. PROM PHILADELPHIA.

BY THE PACIFIC CABLE. The Singular Harmony which Reigns TRIES TO BORROW OF MASSACHUSETTS. FLORIDA GOES ARM IN ARM WITH MAINE TO TAKE A DRINK. EVERYBODY ARM-IN-ARM, &C..&0. MR. VALLANDIGHAM " SICK." Philadelphia, Aug. 15. Nothing can exceed the harmony that prevails here between the delegates from the Northern States. To show how little acrimony exists, I yesterday saw a Mississippi delegate ask the loan of a dollar from a delegate from Massachusetts. He didn't get it, of course, as no Massachusetts man was ever known to lend a dollar; and the Mississipnian would doubtless have repudiated the debt if he had got it; but the circumstance shows bow perfectly Massachusetts and Mississippi are in harmony. A little circumstance occurred in the Wigwam this forenoon which created the wildest enthusiasm. A Florida delegate invited a Maine delegate to go out and take a drink with him. Word was at once sent to the President of the Convention, who suspended proceedings while the Florida man and the Maine man marched, arm-in-arm, down the aisle and across the way to a saloon, the band meanwhile playing a curious medley entitled " Rally Round the Bonny Blue Flag, as we go marching along." A rule has been established requiring the delegates to go arm-in-arm as much as possible. They do it when they go into Convention and when they go out. They march to their meals in that way, also to their drinks, and sleep together, locked in each other's arms. This arm-in-arm business is very convenient late at night, when it is necessary to help each other home. A South Carolinian was seen last night at a late hour with his arm fondly wound around a lamp-post, asking the lamp-post whether he was " del'gate from Pennsyl (hie) c-onsin or Michi (hie) Jersey." The Pacific cable, by which I send this, is working admirably. In fact, everything is pacific here. Even Pacific Railroad stock is looking up. I shall send you further dispatches as fast as possible, there being a heavy demand on the cable. Poor Vallandigham was to have been serenaded last evening at the Gerard House by his friends, but Clement was taken sick early in the evening, with a violent attack of dysentery, accompanied with choleraic symptoms, so the serenade was postponed. His letter of withdrawal is addressed to the Convention, and as soon as it is read in that body, will be telegraphed to you. It is a cutting and bitter document, and it is believed will cause ill-feeling if not modified. Val. is sore over this last act of coersion, now that the people are satisfied that thereis to be no bolt or burst up. The excitement about the Convention is assuaging, and matters are proceeding in the regular way. There are to be no long speeches, and it is thought the Wigwam wi'l wag out about Thursday evening. The leaders held a caucus last night and determined to prood rapidly with business to-day, and adjourn this eveuing, if possible. This will be a God send to the delegates from Sauedunk and Poverty Island, Arkansas, who are being bled most unmercifully by our hotel folks. It is remarkable to note what a change there is in the sentiment of the gatherers relative to our peculiar Northern institutions. They now see a great deal to admire in our sturdy mechanics and our advancement in the arts and sciences, to which they were entirely blind before. George Francis Train, Colorado Jewett and the immortal J. N. Free, arc still wandering around, trying to get some one to take notice of them ; but no one will do more than to listen to their twaddle. After the adjournment, the great Wigwam Convention will march in a body to Independence Hall, and after partaking of bread and butter, the meeting will slowly disperse homeward, and seek offioe and help make Seward our next President. NEW ORLEANS. Rebel Hopes Terrorism Systematic Outlawry of Negroes. Through the kindness of Governor Morton we are permitted to publish

the following letter, received by bim from an influential citizen of New Orleans, descriptive of the condition of affairs in that Sodom of rebellious proclivities. The writer was formerly a citizen of Indiana: New Orleans, La., Aug. 5, 1866. Many of the Union men here have received written notices to leave this country or their lives would be taken. You will remember I wrote you some time since, that Union men had no security of their lives but in the presence of the military outside of this and other cities I mean in the country, there is far more danger in the expression of loyalty, than in the denser population, where there is more combination and squads of soldiers. Every day, more or less, the negroes are killed in this city. At the rate things are moving they will be exterminated. Union men come to me daily and ask: "What will Indiana do this Fall? " The only hope here is in the loyal North and West. The people must sustain the Congress, or loyal people at the South, in many districrs, will be under the necessity of leaving for loyal protection. I am, sir, gratefully Your obedient servant. To His Excellency, Oliver P. Morton, Governor of Indiana. CARPETS.

THE EVANSVILLE JOUMAL

FOR THE CAMPAIGN OF 1866. Daily, Tri-Weekly & Weekly MAKE UP YOUR CLUBS! The next campaign will be one of the most important which the people of Indiana have ever fought against proscription, and error, and wrong. Now, if ever, must the fruits of the terrible war which we have suffered, be secured beyond a peradventure. The grave responsibilities growing out of the situation are felt and appreciated by all the people.

It is to the Journal as a leading paper, working in the interests of the principles of the Union party for the fetate. that we would call attention. The conduct of the paper, politically, is too Hell known to need any publication of its manner or the principles which have governed it. It will continue as before, without ehange. In addition to the careful attention to the Political Department of the paper, special effort will be made each department being placed in competent nancta to make the Journal a complete compendium of news, a pleasant fire-side companion, a faithful market guide, and in short a complete summary of events in the political, social, religious, literary, scientific and commercial world.
