Stfdfers ani Sailors Convention.
The veteran 8oldiers and Sailors con
vention beld at Pittsburgh on the 17th
and 18th, inst was a success in the most
triumphant sense. At no time since
the close of the war, when the great
armies of the nation, having done their
work, and done it well, quietly disband
ed and the soldier again became a pro
ducer, has there been such a gethering
of veteran defenders of onr country as
the one at Pittsburgh last weok.
There were at least 50,000 of the
boys in blue together, who in the days of
other years stood with touch of elbowes
as the gray aad bntternat clad traitor
enemies advaneed apon them, not only
to destroy them, but the country and

of thrilliner elooence. Gev. Geary was

then conducted t the front by Gen
Burnside, and as the chief magistrate of
our grand old commonwealth delivered
an eloquent and hearty address of wel-
eom to the veteran Soldiers and Sailors
then assembled. Gen. Burnside then
delivered an address as chairman of the
veterans national committee full of in
terest to every sortfierand sailor present,
Gen. Joseph R. Hawly of Connecticut
was then introduced as temporary chair
man of the convention amid thundering
applause. Gen. Hawley's speech on
assuming the duties of the office to
which his comrades called him was one
of the most masterlv efforts we have
ever heard in the field of politics, in
deed it was patriotism at white heat
eponded by the patriotism of fellow
triots at like temperature.

Various communications were then in
troduced one of which bore the greetings
ef 50,000 follow veterans, and another
the wishes of success from 790 excon
federate officers and soldiers from the
States of Louisiana, Georgia, Missouri,
and Texas.
The afternoon session like that of the
forenoon was characterised by intense
enthusiasm, while the speeches by Gen
John. A. Logan, permanent chairman
and other distinguished speakers from
the rank and file of our Nation's defend

thusiastic applause that will be reniem
