The rain whkh set in just as the Convention adiourntd jesterday afternoon, continued by fits and starts far into the night. It was doubly unfortunate, lor, besides compelling the mass of the delegations to remain indoors, It moistened the tew who ventured out into the air. The hotels were crowded, even more so than on the previous evening. The most select aud orderly assemblage was that at the La Pierre IIoubp, where the Louisiana delegates have their head quarters. A large number of the representatives ot other sections of the country were also pre sent, enlivening the scene by their movements and conversation. THE GIRARD HOUSE presented a busier scene. Several delegations are quartered here, and la't night they bad a laree influx of visitors. The chief attraction at this establishment was the fact that Vallandig ham bad a parlor on the third floor. The parlor in question was crowded, and the passage-way leading to it entirely blocked up, during the I greater portion of the evening. But Vallandig ham was not to be found. Various and conflict ing were the rumors respecting his whereabouts and proceedings. THE VALLANDIG QAM EXCITEMENT. It was generally understood that be bad in good earnest given up his claim to u seat in the Convention, although he still relused to surren der his ticket to the floor of the Wigwam. This lactled many to doubt the withdrawal of the Prinee-of-Peace Democracy, and tnere was con sequently exhibited a strong desire to peruse the letter of withdrawal which he had written. Notwithstanding the most strenuous exertions, however, a glance ut this precious document was not obtained, save by some of the leading spirits of the Convention. It will be made public some time during the day. The question as to what uaa become ot vai- landlgham was equally perplexing. It was re ported on one hand that he would pay a visit to the Louisiana people at the La Pierre House, but those who took their stand there with the expectation ot seeing him were doomed to dis appointment. Another report which gained credence, having been started lu the most select and best informed circles, was to the eirect that a serenade would be tendered the withdra wing hero. Every one was consequently on the alert, and at the slightest tap of a drum or groan of a trombone, a rush was made for the door. But this anxious watching and waitiug was finally terminated by the announcement that Mr. Vallandighum had retired to his private rooms in consequence of severe indisposition. Tbe serenade was theretore postponed, but it will probably transpire some time this evening. AT TUB CONTINENTAL the crowd was fearful, and the scene one that beggared description. The nabobs and grand moguls whose presence had made this the tcene of attraction on the previous evening were there in force, having received considerable acces sions, In point of numbers at least Most pro minent among the new arrivals was John Mor rissey, the renowned champion of the heavy weights, and the present Head Centre of Sara toga. What business called mm to such an orderly city as Philadelphia no one could divine, but it was generally supposed that hla presence bere had some remote connection with his noro nation for a eat in Congress from the city ot Mew York. FERN ANDO'B MISFORTUNES BISCOSSM. Among the question which elicited a great deal f discussion, were the withdrawal from the C-CtsGoo YUM&bASI Urt BfHhM Wood. Thfre did not appear to be vpry many present who recretted the absence of the former, but Fernando's sympathizers were numerous and outspoken. As a specimen of the gossip In his case, we will clve a short conver sation between two leading Democrats, whom we were fortunnte enough to oveihear: One gentleman a;ked Indignantly. "What h?is Fernando Wood done, that he must be driven from the Convention? He made one or two peace speeches at the outbreak of the war, and after that ave hundred war speeches, be sides assisting in the organization of several regiments, to one of whom he gave five thousand dollars out of his own pocket." "Yes,'' responded his attentive listener, "and besides all that, he has been guilty ot every crime in the calendar from petty larceny up to manslaughter. I'm an out-and-out Democrat, but I'm opposed to Fernando Wood's sitting in the Convention. Let's take a drink." CERTAIN PERSONS WHO WERE "HIVED" YESTERDAY. We also overheard another conversation which throws considerable light upon the result of the day's proceedings. A small specimen of humanity, with curly hair and a long beard, who called himself a "delegate," collected quite a crowd about hiLi by a vehement declaration of his individual principles and platform. Strikine an imposing attitude and removing his hat, h? exclaimed: "I'm baretooted on top ot my head; I was made to go through the biier bushes, and to come out all right on the other side. The - have had my neck under the halter a dozen times, but they haven't yanked me yet." Then, expanding his chest and throwing out both hands in a triumphant fashion, he continued " I came from where the sun sets; I'm a Copper head, and I'm proud of it." "We 'hived' a lot of ut such lellows as you to-day," remarked another delegate, standin near, who was of Republican antecedent-, and is at present considered "sound" on tilmo't every question, even in the radical camp. The gentleman who was "bare-footed on the top of his head" was completely overcome by this pointed thrust. During the remainder of the nitht be was observed to be remarkably reii cent. "COLOItADO's" CniROGRAPHY. During the course of the evening, "Colorado') Jewett was the hero of a little romance. He encountered Senator Cowan, of Pennsylvania, m one of the corridors of the Continental, when the Senator, to his astonishment, began to heap abuse upon bis devoted head. The cause of the Senators wrath was a paragraph in "Colorado's' letter, published in our issue of last evening. The obnoxious paragraph read thus; "Senator Doolittle: I am informedby Senator Cowan, that both you and the President weie wrong in not havinir appealed to the people for leaitimute representation to-ctay, m place ot, as now. puDlic men." The Senator demanded to know by what authority the " Colorado " gentleman had ventured on such an absurd and slanderous assertion. " Colorado " inoekly responded that the original manuscript read thus : " i hate informed Senator Covvau. etc.," and that it was no laul i of his that the printers had perverted bis meaning. It the puDlic will can at our office and inspect the "original manuscript'' iu question, they will ascertain the fact that " Colorado" is much given to a flourishing style ot penmanship, which cannot be deciphered, even by an expert, without extreme difficulty, "Coiorado" hHS other griefs than those result ing from his fanciful chirography. It appears that the letter which he yesterday addiessed to Senator Doolittle, and which, as interpreted by our compositors, caused the Senator from Penn sjlvanla to loe a great portion of his good tern per, was treated with marked disrespect b.y the parlies for whose edification and advisement it was intended. Thereupon, the irrepressible Colorado" indicted the following supplementary ephtle, which explains itself: Room No CO.

A NEW DEFINITION OF "LOYALTY." Among the characters wno attracted con siderable attention during me evening was a full-stomached, red-faced gentleman, who was a perfect counterpart of "Johnny Bull." He was a delegate, as a matter ol course, and hailed from some indefinite locality south of Maon & Dixon's line. While he was discoursing volubly upon the subject of the "loyalty" of the recon structed, he was interrupted by a gentleman who desired to know his definition of the term 'loyalty." "I take it," said he, "that for a man to be loyal' In these days he miibt bo just what a loyal man M as during the Revolution a d d coward and a traitor to his country." The crowd ot listeners were satisfied and quietly dispersed. The crowds of loungers remained on their feet until about 2 o'clock in the morning, before they gave a thought to bed and sleep. During this time some Important business was trans acted. THE WORK THAT WAS DONS. The Committee on Organization held a meet ing, at which the measures of the Convention received a full and free discussion. Every member of the Committee was outspoken, yet quite temperate, in the expression of his views. When they came to the question ot permanent otcanization, ex-Provisional Governor Perry, of South Carolina, proposed the name of the Hon. J. R. Doolittle roE Permanent Pbbsi DENT OP TBE CoNVETION. The motion prevailed by a unanimous Tote, and thus this vexed and long-discussed question was finally settled. The Committee on Resolutions were likewise in session, discussing the work allotted to them. Senator Doolittle had been previously selected as Chairman of this Committee, bnt when It was ascertained that be bad beea fixed upon as per manent President of the Convention, Senator Cowan was selected as Chairman la fcli place. The "Living" operation was thus completed, and the conservative Republican aye tbvs gained control oi t& CoavenQon. The question of the ADJOURNMENT OF TIIB CONTENTION was also freely dlcussed on all sides; and It was finally concluded, and generally understood, that it would take place to-day. During the whole of the day and the evening, the rooms of TUB PRESS CLUB ou Chesnut street were kept open, and a hearty welcome extended to all representatives of the press Irom abroad who chanced to drop in. This they did In large numbers, expressing themselves highly gratified with the arrange ments and prosperity of this peculiar institution of our city.

Kvrnts of the Day The Bay State nixt Palmetto Delegations la Social (ou vtrac-Wtudlu); tlielr way to tle "IVIr iv a in, &c. The most remarkable event of the morning, prior to the commencement of the second day's proceedings of the great National Union John son Convention, was the reunion, in par lor C of tbe Continental IIoLel, of the delegations from Massacbussets and South Carolina. A great point with the wire-workers of the Convention seems to consist in making as much as possible of the fraternal leelinff that exists between the delegates from the Bay and Pal metto States. No opportunity Is lost to bring gentlemen together from those hitherto par ticularly hostile sections of the country. The master-stroke of policy exhibited yester day in so arranging that the delegates from Massachusetts and South Carolina should enter the Wirrwam arm-in-arm, headed by the cele brated Governor Orr, of the Palmetto State, and General Couch, from the hub of the universe, had its effect, and with commendable good tact tbe Committee resolved that the representatives of ihose States should meet together this mora- ing for social converse and an interchange of ideas and opinions on the topics of the day aud the condition of the country at large. Accordingly, at half-past 10 o'clock this morn ing the Massachusetts delegation entered parlor C in a body, and soon alter, tbe South Carolina delegation made its appearance. Threo cheers were given by the Bay State men lor the repre sentatives trom tbe State that gave birth to the great Nulllfier, and whose people opened the great drama, or rather tragedy, of the Rebellion. These salutations found a hearty response on the part ot the South Carolinians, who, in turn, lustily cheered the Massachusetts delegation, A half hour was then spent in social and fia' ternal commingling. The two delegations corn pletely filled parlor C, and every face wore an aspect ot pleasantry and good humor. The hand-shaking was of the most hearty and enthusiastic character, and the spacious room resounded with the hum of many voices en gaged in the interchange of friendly greetings Here a long-haired, tall, quaint South Caroli nlan could be seen hobnobbing In the most fraternal manner with a sharp-eyed, Intellectual looking "Yank." Another part ot the room displayed a social circle of delegates from the two distant sections, where laughter, okes, and wit prevailed. Now and then two old but long separated friends would rush towards each other, and, after a close and earnest grasping of hands, would talk ot bygone times, and mutually impart information regarding friends and acquaintances that each knew, but who had not been heard trom for many a long year. Everybody was in a good humor, and there seemed to be a disposition to run a sort ot tongue race, each striving to outtalk the other. Many pleasant hits were made In a good-natured way at each other's expense. ' A South Caro linian would accuse a Tankee of being, heretofore, as great a Rebel in his way as he (the South Carolinian) bad been, while the Yankee would retort by saying, "Well, we were able to visit yon during the Rebellion, bnt this la the first time you have had to come and take me by the hand." A leeling of gratification was expressed, that the wall of bayonets that separated the two sec tions waa now removed, and that both sections could now meet undisturbed and talk aver and compare ideas regarding the future welfare of both North and South. . Prominent among the thromg we noticed Governor 0 rr, ef South Carolina, and General Conch. Tbey were talking to everybody ani everybody to them. The time was thai spmt until the hour arrived for their departure for the Wigwam, when they repaired Vo the latter like to tvpta THE GREAT CONVENTION SISCOND D A Y.
