vALANDIGHAM's RESIGNATION.

A special dispatch to the Boston Advcr.
tiser, furnishes The following account Of the
scene in the Philadelphia Convention, on
the reception of Mr.. Vallandighams letter
Of resignation:
The chief event Of the days session was
the reading Of Vallanham's letter. II was
addressed to the convention, and was pre-
sented by Mr.. Groesbeck, the chairman Of
the Ohio delegation, who said i was the
unanimous wish of the delegation that It
should he read.-lr Vallandigham was any.
where in the audience he must have been
exceedingly gratifed at the reception nc.
corded him. The first mention Of his name
was tho occasion for an ouibust of hearty
applause, and the person who read the letter
was received with shouts Of applause from
all parts of the building. The manager
seemed terribly embarrassed by this demon:
stration, and for moment or two appeared
undecided how to net. Mr.. Doolittle re-
covered himself soon, however, and adroit.
Iy undertook TO sliuffie the letter out Of the
way by ruling that il could not be read un-
less unanimous consent was given. Hugh
Gardiner, one Of the New York delegates,
at once objected, and the president turned
to other business. The galleries and con-
siderable body Of delegates Immediately
rebelled aud row was emminent Shouts
of "read it,-hurrah for Vallandigham,
and "put him out" rose from all quarters,
and Bedlam was turned loose for few
minutes. Reverly Johnson saw that a
bunder had been made, and that the senti.
ment for Valandigham was too strong to be
snubbcd in that manner. Accordingly in
his most suave manner, he said he thought
the chair had made an incorrect mling. tie
would not, however, appeal from the de-
cision, but would move suspension OF the
rules. The motion was put and carried by
strong majority and with much loud and
hearty cheering, Tho reading Of the letter
was frequently Interrupted by applause. The
enthusiastic manner in which the notorious
Ohio copperhead carried the day against
Managers Randall, Browning and Company
is the subject Of much comment this even

shoulder. Tho wound was received as tho
soldier was in tho act Of aiming his gun,
but the ball could not be found at the time,

C. Gov. Wells Of Louisiana, has issued
an address to the people. lie explains full
" the efforts made to conciliate the seces-
sionists in the State gives history Of the
events which lead to the meeting Of the
Convention Of 1864, and its re-assembling
lately, and attributes the recent riots 10 the
determination Of the shareholders to break
up the Convention by torcc. He charges
that the attuck on the Convention was a
preconcered affair that the police had
their orders beforehand; that they did moth
ing to prevent an attack on the colored pro.
cession, and that they ni,led in the as

"KErr OUT or the USioS."-Ten States
knocking at tho doors Of Congress, and 10.
fused admit,ancc. This is the burden OF
the song a, Philadelphia. By what act, by
what foul wrong pnctiscd upon them, were
they placed In a position where there night
to representation could be questioned? For
more than four ycas they had been trying
TO fight their way out Of the Union, putting
into practical operation the lessons that
their leading statesmen. their trusted coun.
selIors. had been teaching them Cor gen.
erution. After villifying the Union, and
weakening il by all the means in their
power, they passed their ordinances OF Sc
cession, they declared that the separation
Was final and forever, they took up arms to
make good their declaration, they fought
four years, not only with the ordiuary
weapons Of civilized warfare, but dclib-
erately starving their prisoners, inoc'ilat-
ing them with loathsome and fatal diseases
in the shamblcs they called hospitals, spread.
ing fever infected clothes over the country,
among non.combatants and acting more like
infuraled demons than civilized men.
They were fogged, they surrendered,
They gave up the contest when they had
been beaten at every point And now they
come back, their hands dripping with the
blood of our brethren, and demand imme-
diate, unconditional admittance into Con.
gress, with the same pestilent theories OF
State rights on their lips, protesting their
readiness 10 take again tho oaths that they
have 30 often violated, and in all respects
they are prepared to try the same thing ov-
er again. And the loyal people staggering
under tho debt they have created in putting
them down. mourning their sons and broth.
crs and fnthers slain In the contest, are re.
preached as trniton, because they hesitate
to take them in, and accept us their masters,
the men whom they have just put down

SUCCESSFUL EDIToRs.-An English ed
itor says: A good editor, competent
newspaper conductor, is like a general or
poet, born, not made. Exercise and experi.
ence gives faculties, but qualification Is not
manifested. On the London daily papers
all the great historians, noyelists, poets, es.
saycsts, and writers Of travels have been
tried, and nearly every one has failed. II
can," said the late editor Of the London
Times, "fnd any number Of men to write
for me, but very seldom one man of com.
mon sense" Nearly oil successful editors
are of this description. A good editor sci.
dom writes much for his paper; he reads,
Judges, selects, dictates, alters and combines;
and to do all this well he has hut little timo
for composition. TO write for paper Is
one thing-to edit II another.
