Daily union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1865-1866, 1866-03-30

There are two eAtrances-one on Fifth
avenue, and the other on Thirty-fourth
street. We can give at this time only
very brief description of those and the other
parts of the building. The entrance on
Fifth avenue, which is by fight of marble
steps, is hanked by two columns of twenty
five feet in height. This entrance is in the
place of one of four windows, which appear
on the upper stories, where they are, like
the door, ornamented with columns, but
smaller, according TO the height of the story,
and less marked. The windows ON the first
story are about eighteen feet high, by six or
seven feet in width, and are capped with
circular arches. The center of each holds
a head in relief encircled with elegant cary
ing and tracery. The carving and orna-
mentation Of the upper stories become by
degrees less elaborate. The side, or rather
front, on Thirty-fourth street, having an ex-
panse OF eighty feet by one hundred and
twenty feet affords an opportunity for a
more imposing architectural display. There
are five windows ON the first floor, the en-
trance occupying the place Of a sixth and
the columns, the windows and the Orna-
mentations in their various grades, CORES
pond with those Of the Fifth avenue front
The interior of the building, which is Of
course not finished will be in harmony with
the general architecture of the exterior, and
viii be admirably arranged. The following
are the dimensions Of the rooms on the first
story:

OhiId soaIded 10 Dentb.

The family of Mr.. George Baker, we'll
known and old resident of Hamilton town
ship, in this county, has been of late sub
iected to severe and distressing trials. Re-
Gently three of Mr.. Bakers children were
dangerously sick. One had died and was
buried ON Friday last. After the family
had returned from the funeral, prepara-
tions were made for dinner. One of the
children, about four years of age, by some
means, while unobserved, overturned a
pot of boiling coffee, the contents falling
upon its head, and streaming over its body.
The child was SO terribly scalded, that it
fingered on in great agony till the next
day, when it died. 1t was buried on Sun
day. A deep and warm sympathy is felt
for the afflicted family among all their
friends and acquaintances. EtaE

and the attempt to keep him out of the Con-
vention, "You can say" said he, shat |

can keep me out"
The Southern delegations appointed a
committee to-day to walt upon Vallandig-
ham,and request him to withdraw. MT. VAL

quest.
The wigwam is not finished, and 1t Is as
serted tonight that the Convention Will
hold its first session in one of the public halls
of the city.

In the Iowa delegation there was quite a
struggle between the Democrats and the
Republicans. The Democrats finally yield
ed, and Thos. II. Benton was chosen Chair
man of the delegation.
The Southern delegates, headed by Geo.
S. Houston, of Alabama, waited upon val
landigham, this evening, and requested him
not to appear in the Convention as dele
gate.
In reply to their request, Vallandigham
said he was duly elected, that his creden-
tials were as good as any body's, and that
he intended to present himself as dele
gate. 1t is now stated, on the highest au-
thority, that he will be voted out Of the
Convention, by resolution of General
Steedman's.
The Ohio delegation will adopt resolu-
tion, in the morning, that no one OF their
number shall address the Convention with
out the consent of the delegation, given
through vote. This is designed TO keep
Vallandigham from making speech.
The Kentucky and Connecticut delegations,
and majority of the Ohio Democrats, are
in favor of his admission, and 1t Is said that
all Others are against him.
Apart from the admission of Vallandig-
ham, there seems to be no question OF dis
pute attending the business of the Conven-
tion. All other matters will be, or have
been, settled harmoniously.
The indications are that the Convention
will be, numerically, the largest ever held
in this part of the country. The leading
hotels of the city are thronged as they
never have been before, and it Is said that
never before were there so many OF the
leading politicians of the country assem-
bled here. MACK.

A Teutonic citizen, whose house, situate
in the extreme southern end of the city,
caught fire in the roof few nights ago, in
formed some of the city police, as they un-
derstood him, that woman had told him
that three or four men had laid plan to
burn his house, which they were going to
put into execution on Monday night. The
appeals of the poor man for protection
could not be resisted, and two or three po-
lice officers went to the place and carefully
concealng themselves, watched the prem
ises all night long. But no incendiaries
came to fire the Teuton's domicil. In the
morning when the officers sought clearer
exposition of his reasons for apprshending
that he was to be burned out of house and
home, they learned that the woman who
told him so was fortune-teller, and had
given him the information of the plot to
set fire to his house on Monday night, in
her professional capacity. OF course, the
officers felt themselves handsomely sold.

The Superintendent with an assistant found

resisted to the "bitter end" and finally es-
capped from them. She afterward also
eluded the vigilance of a policeman who

The Lebanon Star says that CoovERT, the
bloody murderer of the RoosA family, is
suffering intensely. He is apparently filed
with terror. His brazen stOicism has left
him and he is completely unnamed; and
having eaten but little for several days he
is weak and emaciated. He has made no
confession-none whatever. In his cell he
can distinctly hear the saws and the mallets
of the carpenters who are framing timber
for small building, twenty feet square and
sixteen feet high, which will be erected
west OF, and adjoining the Jail, and in which
the gallows will be placed.
