The Delegates Begin to Come-Scenes
About the Streets and Hotels.
At u quite early hour. yesterday
morning, stir was perceptible about
the city that would have told even a
stranger that some unusual event was
about to take place. The local pOliti
clans and those usually interested in
politics Of a Democratic tendency, might
have been noticed skurrying about, full
Oi interest and Importance; men were
seen constantly moving 10 and from the
Democratic headquarters; every one
knew preparations were being made for
the Democratic Congressional Conven.
ton to-day.
The delegates began to appear about
noon, or shortly before, slowly at first,
then in a perfect stream, filling up the
hotels IN every part Of the city. They
came by rail and river, siug!y, in grouI S
and in squads. The hotels began to take
on an animated appearance, and the
scenes at Chicago and Cincinnati were
re-enacte,i on small scale.
Col Wilson arrived on the morning
train; Col Campbell and Mr.. TIngle
we're in the city and were up betimes.
and Col. johnson arrived in
the morning with a portion OF
the Tyler delegation. All four are
busily stirring about among their
friends, braclng them up Tor the coming
struggle. All tour were smilingly con-
tiieut and it would have been difficult
to have told, from their faces, who was
in the lead.
All day was spent in general conver-
satlOn, comparing notes, receiving new
arrivals and discussing the situation
generally. The McLure and Stimm
Hotels were the great centres and were
througed continually. BY some natural
process a separation took place, the
Wilson men grayitated toward the Me
Lure. where his headquarters We're rs
tsblished. and the Others sought the
StamnI, where their chieitains held
forth. All this vas done in the greatest I
good humor. There WAS no outward
sgu Of discOrd, Il spirit Of harmony
seeming to prevail everywhere
At night things got down 10 business.
From lille conversation, the talk
changed 10 impOrtan, business, AMI idle
ness gave way To- earnestnesS. Nee,
ings and csucuses were the order Of the
evening, and low consultations and
rapid calculations could be- seen and
heard in every direction. Fresh dele
gates Immediately upon their arrival.
were seized and led oil to join their
friends, ami lrCd their all and counsel
IN the impending struggle. Tho inter-
est Vas intense, but silent. There was
no loud talking, no wrangliny. or no
eliter discussions, and the spirit which
im0ned the hosts OF Mar;insburg, two
weeks aso, seemed prevalent here. II
was past midnigh. when a general dis
ptrsai took place, and the usual qui It
settled down ON the streets and hotels.

pounds OF powder before they were
chambered, now take charge OF fifty
five pounds and are capable OF penetrat
ing ten inches Of iron at distance oi

markable, when il is considered that the
old eight inch smooth Oores, which are
converted into eight-iDch niles. were
fired with charge OF only sixteen

weighing only l20 pounds, while the
