GALVESTON, April %, 1850.
Galveston has relapsed into its normal
Quiet. The streets, hotels, saloons, and
other places of resort, present Il strange con-
trast with the scene and hustle that has pre-
vailed for the past two days and nights.
All trains leaving the city were crowded with
returning delegates and visitors to the con-
vention. An occasional delegate is seen lin
gering around the scene OF his defeat or VIC
tory. The convention was certainly
one of the sblest ever assembled
in the State, and one marked feature was the
preponderance of young men among the
delegates. They are alive to the issues Of
the day, and progressive and liberal, and will
largely aid in eliminating from the Democ-
racy the unprogressive element of the party
that has retarded it in its progress, and IN
tusing new life and vigor into it, that will
carry it forward triumphantly in the accom-
plishment of its objects and purposes. This
is certainly the day and age OF young men,
and why not? The wonderful success of
the Republican party is mainly attributable
to the fact that the majority OF the proml-
nent leaders are young, brainy, active, vlgor-
GUS men in the very prime of their intellect
ual powers, who are up with the age, fertile
in resources, daring and audacious. such
men, and it is said with due Difference, are
needed in the councils of the Democratic
party, and the recent convention was an IN
dlcation that young men were rapidly coming
To the front who possessed all
of the above qualiiicatons.--M Mr.
Charles l.. Martin, of the HERALDs editor

for Huntsville. During his briet stay he
made many friends, and your reporter be-
came warmly attached to him, and regrets
exceedingly that he could not prevail on
Charlie to forego his rash intention of going
to the pententiary. But despite my strong
est persuasion TO the contrary he left for that
place this morning; and if he should not turn
up in tho HERALD sancium the
first of the c ming week, you may know
where he is.-San Jacinto day WAS gener-
slv observed. There WAS do combined ceie-
brati.n The fire department paraded in
the morning. Hook and Ladder company
No. gave picnic at Schmidts Garden.
1t was simly attened and did not prove a
financial success. The Galveston Artil-
lery gave an excursion to Dckerson Bayou,
which was attended by the BRENNAN Grays,
Washington Guards and many citizens.
Defiant Fire Company No. gave an elegant
ball last night, which was very enjoyable and
well attended. These. outside of the con-
vention, were the principal attractions, and
afforded recreation to the citizens.
DENOMINATIONS for the Mai Fest
are rapidly going forward. The Central
committee who have the matter in charge
will create something unusually attractive
and grand for the street pageant, which is
expected to attract large number OF visitors
from the interior Of the State.--A spirited
runaway occurred this morning from the
front of the Washington hotel. Two horses
attached to hack, in waiting to convey q
lady passenger to the train, took fright
