Theprospects now are that the Union
State Convention to assemble here to-
II orrow will Ue the largest body OF the
kind ever assembled in the state. Per-
haps. for the information of your read
srs in other States. it i well to say that
this body i not to Ice COMPOUNDED with
the so-calIed National Union Con-
vention which met here a week ago.
That was body filled with admiration
OF Andrew Johnson and his policy =
0be,lient to his behests and expectant
Of his bounty. This is n body OF the
unconditional Union men Of West Viz
radicals" if You chOose-for
not a man that will be in it is afraid of
a honest a name as in
dignantly reproach Andrew johnson
for his treachery-whO abhor the afro
cinus cruelty and injustice OF
his policy" and who are be-
yond the reach of brides with
which venal and ill-gotten power seek :
To corrupt them. But this is n digrcS-
sion. ] commenced to tell yo1 how big
the Convention was going to be- II is
estimated that there some two hundred
delegates here now. The hotels and ma
nv private houses are full. The dele
cations from Wheeling and the river
Counties are not yet here, but are ex-
pected some time tonight. The train
which arrives at G.JO tomorrow morn
ing, will bring more, while great num-
beers will come in tomorrow from the
surrounding country, and even from
Writ and Jackson. Others from the
lower Counties are also cN peCted To be.
here tomorrow. There will certainly
b" between three hundred and four
hundred delegates here by noon to-
morrow. They will be bus Indifferent
~ accommodated with hall to meet
in. Its arranged to meet in bank Hall,
over the Second National Eank, first at
nine o'clock in the morning. for a sort
OF free canvas of matters in general,
and open the Convention regularly nj
ten. The hall will Just about seat the
delegates, and what i to bc done with
the general public, don't see, except
to exclude II.
There was public meeting at the
court house to night, and speaking by
Boston.
The Fairnont Amateur Musical As
s0ciation gave an entertainment to-
night at Bank Hall. The Association
have been attending the sitting Of the
Teachers State Association, at Clarks-
burg, where they gave concert last
night, and were Induced to visit Par
kersburg. Your correspondent had
heard good deal Of praise bestowed
on this Association, but he is free to
say, after listening to the perform
nnce this evening, that it merits good
deal Of praise. There are somewhere
over twenty ladies and gentlemen
composing the Association, led by Mr..
}. w. Cromwell, n most accomplished
teacher and vocal At. The music is en-
tirEiy vocal, and altogether worthy Of
something more than local apprecia-
lion. There is more than one female
N"Ic" Of surprising sweetness and
power, which, associated with some un-
Pron0uncrnblc foreign name, would
make sensation on metropolitan
boards. II hope none of them oyer
may he so dcgratl1d., Mr.. CroTnyeIi
himself, leads in 81 bcnutifuI.tenor. and
Capt. Fleming brings up tho heavy mr.
tillery in a bass mngnificcntly sono.

praise, but If the Association could bc
induced 10 sing in Washington Hall, /
think many Of yOuT readers would Join
in this tribute. The Association will
give another entertainment here to-
morrow night.
II would be idle To speculate on to-
work when Tomorrow NAV
upset all sPeculatiOns. II il certain, so
far n5 the delegates now her. are con-
rcTned, that Gov. Foreman will be re-
almost unnnimOuEIy-pcr-
baps altogether; because il Is Thought
Gen. Harris, finding wind and tide all
setting that way, will not be before the
Convention at all for Governor, but
will fall back on Congress and make
