Niagara FALLS, July 2Sth.
The people are here in their strength,
and there are thousands in Buffalo as yet
without means OF conveyance 10 get here.
Still the null itude pours in from all Sec
tions of the Union, and mighty as was the
gathering yesterday il will be much great
err to-day.
Yesterday the Convention was address,
ed by the Hon. Thomas Ewing, Gov.
Hunt of New York, the Hon. Mr.. Davis
of Maryland, Horace Greeley, Col. Schou-
Ter, editor Of the Boston Atlas. and others.
The speeches were eloquent, and the
greatest enthusiasm prev.iied. During
the day thousands visited Lundy's Lane,
and looked upon the fields upon which
American vaiOr immorialized American
arms.
The camp fires were lighted last eve
ming. and an immense concourse was ad-
dressed with great power by Gov. Jones,
Of Tennessee. and Hon. John A. King Of
New York. The scene presented on
and about the camp ground was one OF
surprising grandeur. The country for
miles round is full Of live, shouting
Wings. The greatest enthusiasm pre-
walls. and all are inspired by the glorious
reunion Of the Wings.

MEssRs. EDIroRs: "The country's
risin." Ever since my arrival here there
has been an incoming of gallant Wings,
like the rush of n mighty army. They
scome as the winds come when forests
are bending, from the savannahs Of
the South, the prairies Of the west, and
the marts of the east, to marshal in one
phalanx, under the lead of the hero who
has never been followed but 10 victory.
Among the delegations, which have
proceeded through here to Niagara, no
ticed numbers from Tennessee. Louisia-
