WEETIKG OF THE UNION COfiVENTIQl Enthusiasm and Harmony at Harrisburg. , AN ASSEMBLAGE OF CELEBRITIES AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Organization of the Convention Etc., KM Ktft. EUh' Et., Eta., Ettt, Special Telerraphic Correspondence of Tin Evening lelegraph. - , UAJiHifrBCBO, March 7. The rays of political interest, wlilcb in ordinary times are diffused over the whole State, have now converged to a focus-at the Capital. The :aldron, which has been simmering tor months, la now boiling, and excitement and enthusiasm are at white heat. All of the leading politicians, aad very' many whom over-adulation would term leading, have been drawn from their homes to Harrisburg, and stand to day , on .all the corners, caucusing End arguing for their respective candidates. There is one noticeable lcature, and one, too, which is cause for congratulation. It is. the general prevalence ot tas desire to avoid a breach In the Union ranks a wish to leave to time and quiet argument the settlement of all issues on which there is a difference. A well known Senator well expressed the desire of the mass of the Unionists when he said to 'me, 'The true policy bt the party is to avoid all internal dissensions, sacriice all personal opinions, pre serve unity at every .hazard, for with division will come certain defeat." Although a radical in his sentiments, he expressed not only his will, ingnets but his wish to compromise and , leave all side issues alone, fighting in a common cause against a common ' enemy.'.' With such a univeisal feeling, it is hardly necessary ' for me to' add, that the prospects look most bright and the party is most joyous, . , ; There can be no question but that the nomi nation will be made unanimous, aad the indlci tions are that a platform will be adopted to which every member of the party, radical or con servative, will yield a willing assent. ' ' 1 " ' ' The satisfaction expressed here with tie. hpmt nation by the Democracy of the Hon. Ileister Clymer is universal. The Democrats are rt. joiced because of the personal character and representative record oi that gentleman; whil the Unionists are jubilant ever the selection of an opponent whose political career" presents so many vulnerable points as that ot the Senator tor Berks. Mr. Clymer is well known by repu tation to many of your readers, If not personally. He has seldom spoken in Philadelphia. He Is a tali, dignified, and remarkably fine-looking man, of probably about forty years of age. , He has ever been a bitter and virulent adherent to the doctiines of the party, as his continual selection to represent Berks county testifies. 1 Be receives the congratulation! of his friends with perfect song void, and evidently has considered his choice a certainty for some time pait. Richard Vaux and the rest of tee delegation to tbe parly convention have either left the Capital or will in. the course of the day. So much tor the oppo sitien. Sy every train, for two days, members of the Union party hare poured in until every 1 apart ment, irons the billiard room up, is filled, '( The ''Lochiel House" monopolizes the great part of the custom, and its coarteons proprietor is ua ceasing in his attentioa to his guests. . All of the leading candidates for the nomination are in the city. Malor-General John W. Geary is stop ping at Jones'; Hon. James E. Moorhead at the Lochiel; while both Mr. W. W. Ketcaum and Mr. John Cessna are in town. Simon Cameron and A. E. McClnre are alse among the leading spirits. The personal feeliag of the friends of lival candidate! runs high, bat there appears to be nothing hut bantering aad braggadocia. No ill-will. The "Geary Legion," from Philadel phia, have been pouring in for two days, and yesterday paraded the streets, preeeded by a full brass band. The friends of Moorhcad, not to be outdone, have a large delegation iron Pittsburg, with the "Great Western Band" as their accom paniment. By the first train the Union Club commenced to arrive. They turned out very strong, and after assembling at the Capitol, paraded the streets, as had done their predeces sors, with a band and banner. In fact, It seems bb though Philadelphia had been transported to Harrisburg, for on 1 every side we see faces familiar. All of the pot-house politicians of the lower wards are lobbying aad prophesying, and meriting and receiving eentempt. Nearly all the member! of the Hoo.ee and Senate are here, of coarse, and we notice a mem ber of the Congressional delegation from the western part of tbe State busily working for Moorbead. Cameron is always surrounded by a clique ot admiring fellows, while each cele bnty has a group of satellites. ' From present appearances it seems likely that no nomination will be made to-day, but that after the preliminary business is transacted an adjournment will be effected, to give the Com mittee on Resolutions and the one on Creden tials time to prepare their reports. No less than three friends of as many candidates have taken us mysteriously aside, and advised as to make a point ot news by telegraphing that first, General Geary, second, General Moorhead, aad third, Mr. Eetchum, would surely be nomi nated. When such perfect confidence is felt byeaeh party, It is impossible to decide. But we think II may 1 considered pretty certain that if no c liotre Is made npon the first ballot, all prog nostication will be worth nothing. The dele gates are only instructed for the .first ballot;, alter that '.bey are free, and no human discern ment caa discover who will be their chotoe. i Twilvs O'Clock. The Convention has lust been called to order by the non. John Cc3sna, Cba rman of tbe State Central Commlttoe. Thi Hall is full of Delegates and their friends, aad there is hardly standing room in trie whole room. Mr. Cessna read the order of the Com niit'eo convening the body, and when ho came to that portion, ot it which declares that "The ordeal of war has tried the strength of our Government. Its fire has purified the nation. The detense of the national life has demon strated Who were Its friends. The principles vindicated in tbe field must be preserved in the councils of the nation. The arch-eaemy ol freedom niuatbe struck once more," there was some applause. ' ; . i Ihe following Is a correct lint of the mcmbtrs ol tbe Conventions SEHATOllIAI. DILEOATB8.

Euuva oi Bcouana, dui rams eany 10 tnis country, and was originally a Presbyterian min ister until 1812, when he became a Baptist. He became separated from tbe Baptist denomina tion in 1627, by his denunciation of all human creeds, pronouncing the Bible alone the suffi cient rule of faith and practice, and setting forth sense peculiar Ideas as to the religious effi cacy of Immersion. His zeal, tact.and slequence gave him many followers, who formed them selves into a denomination calling themselves Disciples. The general community chose to re cognize them by tbe name of their founder, as Campbellites. They prevailed particularly in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky, with scattered charehes all over the West, numbering in 1862, by estimate, three hundred and fifty thousand members. In 1841 Mr. Campbell fouaded Bethany Col leare, ol which he was president until his death. The college was successful, having often one handred and fifty or two handred students. He aimed to keep clear of the anti-slavery agitation, but tbe churches have been much rent and scattered by the Rebellion. He was a man of much learning and great activity and oaerrv, and oftea engaged la religious coatroversv, both with unbelievers and with Christians of other denominations. JV. Y, oening J'oU.
