Monday night. 1t represented that there
were some rich scenes: The Clipper, speak
ing Of them, says:
In some of the wards, not more than a
dozen persons were IN attendance. OF course
the bloody eighth was out in all her glory
We visited their meeting room, on Green

heard enough to last us lifetime. fall the
plans which we heard discussed at this delec-
table meeting, last night. are carried into exc
cution lively time will be experienced in

We learn that Stephen A. Douglas was
declared the choice of the Democracy of the
Third and Fourth Congressional Districts, for
President Of the United States"
The Sun says that in the 18th ward there
was row, and the election broken up,
without the votes being counted.
At the convention, held Thursday night
another general row took place. two presidents
were elected and each claimed the right to
preside. A motion to adjourn till Friday
morning was declared passed, but a'portio ion Of
the delegates remained and elected Delegates
to Charleston. So they go.

UThe organ of President Buchanan, the
Washington Constitution, says: =" the election
of Mr.. Pennington was defeat of the Black
Republcans-a signal defeat-and one which
they feel most poignantly." The Douglas
locofocos Of Cecil, who curse the Presidents
organ and the President himself, dcnounce
MIR. Davis. for contributing to this defeat of
Republcanism, because they are Republicans
themselves under another name, and are
ready if their pet is defeated at Charleston, to
vote for the next best Republican in the North

DISCOVERY OF An IMMENSE SALT LAKE.
WITH GUANo lsLANDs.-By late advices from
Havana, we learn tIiat upon the authority OF
Mr.. Scim +. Woodwolth, and varions
natives and Indians, who have long beer res

speak autbolitativ,ly upon the subject. tie

the existence Of an immense salt lake il tic

the world has been ignorant. Mr. Wood
worth, furnishes interesting details touching
ITS salt and euano productions, with deScrlp
i"ns OF the surrounding country, animals in
habtins it, &c.
lie says the lake is bout one hundred mill $
in length, and twenty-five in width. The
entrance Is between two sandy points, a thou
sand yards distant from each shore, and from
where the lake commences presents vast and
beautiful view OF its waters, abundant in STA

Other sources cf wealth than those contain
ed In the waters of the lake ale to be found
on the five islands situated at its eastern eX-
trenlfy. Two OF these are covered with i'm
mense deposits of guano the Others though
having less in quantity, being smaller in size
are al 50 lhickly covered. The largest Of these
Islands is three miles long and one mile wide.
and it is estimated that there are over 200 900
tons of enano upon it. Captain Scammon
who had lately left for San Francisco in the
steamer Senator, carried with him samples of
The gnano taken from this island, which is
pronounced to be Of the hest quality. A Mex
lean guano company had been formed, which
promises to bring this article into market as
soon as It's working arrangements are perfect
ed, and vessels are already on their way to
these islands TO load on behalf of this COM
pany. The whaling vessels which ha re lately
arrived at the lake had completed. thcil car
goes by taking guano in addition 10 the fish
previously laden by them, each one having
purchased the right from the agent of the
company.
There are still other riches described, one
of which consists Of immense deposits of salt,
extending along the circumference of the lake,
and produced by the effect of the evaporation
during the course Of many centuries. A Mex
lean has obtained from the Governor the cxclu-
sive right Of gathering and exporting it, and
has already loaded several ships, which were
about to leave at the date of our latest advi-
ces. There are, moreover, evidences of rich
minerals among the mountains in the interior
The aspect Of the country is anything but
pre-poSSessing. There is no water fiji to drink.
Should the above rcpr escntatves prove true,
this is very important discovery, indeed.
