Accordingly I took the " Rail" the slay previous, and 'tarried over night with a friend in Pittston, who had agreed to accompany me in my short tour of sight seeing in that pleasant Talley. We nark,. the morn ing train for Wilkesharve, and arrived in good time, and after securing good accommodations for our dear servo., sallied out in search of the principal attraction that brought us thither. This search, for some time, was in- vain, as many persons we met, and whom we questioned, were wholly ignorant of the affair, and some very intelligent gentlemen who had heard of the meeting had forgotten the day, and the thought occurred to my thind that if 'a -Sheriff or Constable had been duly authorized to apprehend the said As sociation, or to amuse them, he might hounder the necessity of making hi[ return " son eat inventus." HoWeier, after a time, we were directeil to the Odd ill Fellows' Hall, which, if I remember rightly, was in the upper story of theThceniz Hotel . Here, aur rounded by all the toggery, or rather paraphernalia of the Order, were seatediactween one' nd two dog en very respectable looking gentlemen with their chairman (Mr. Ilollenisack, I belleve) earnestly die canning the question where the 'Association should meet—some were for the Court Rouse, some for the Methodis' tChurch, and some stating difficulties in re gird to hialCtirese places, and proposing others, to which again objections were offered, pc., &c. -The - discussion was very earnest, but not angry, on the part of some speakers, and was continued for some time. Leaving the Hall -before the matter was set tled, in search of a friend, I'did not learn the result tonic time after, when I was informed by d gen tleman that we were tosect in the Methodist Church, but that in the Sin pike, dinner was ready, of which all who had received an invitation by the Committee -were expected to partake without cost. Whether this offer is usual on such occasions I know net; be that as it may, the invitation speaks loudly in praise of the generosity andhospitality of the Comiaittee of Arrangements. The dinner Netts excelhart—such as Mr. Gilchrist need not be ashamed of providing. After iFumer I left to accompany _a small number from my lodging; and upon entering the Cherch we found the meeting organized, (q.

The wIMIe plain is `sprout out before you, or rather several 'bundregl feet beneath the eye, and may well he called beautiful. , Tel I cannot' believe the soil is remarkably rich. If it ever was, certainly it has not been cultivated in the beat possible man ner.

But net professing to a good judge in agricultural matters, this may probably beset ddirn as a mis take.

The number of citurcheS of dilfcrent denominations speaks well fur portion I the hihallitants ;—the countlesenumber of groggeries speak not so well for a stilklarger number, perhaps. Some of the church es are very fine—arrfor the poggeries;flic less at tractive they are, the better. The Court Ilouse,late- ly finished, (except the tower) is a very large and costly building, appearing to he admirably adapted to the purposes for which it was intended.

Tho nicomment, located a little southeast of the Tilliigo last named, appeared to my eye aka better structure than I sup posed, judging from the remarks of some of the speakers the day before. It:is said to be VI feet high. The blocks of stone are well chiseled, of .the same thickness, of a rather light gray color, and the design of the structure is well enough if it were fin ishi.d. • Some ornament is wanted on the summit,and the entrance ob the east side is anything but - what it should be. A fewlhinerunia, judiciously expend ed in repairs, fencing, tc., would give the whole a pleasing appearance. On the'north and south aides" of the monument are inscribed the names of tiro field officers, ten eaplains, ten lieutenants, six en signs, and one hundred and twenty rsocominissioned officersand private! (143 in all) who.fell in battle.— On the east side are the names of some forty,or: fifty. who survived the horrors oft.that memorable day.— Many names must be loll; ei it has AMa been un derstood that about 300 men marched opt to battle. It is said that Col.' Z. Butler stated the number of the slain to be 203. Might . It not - be well, when the grounds are inclosed,4o plant a number of weeping willows, so that in case coming generations should forget the victims of July 3 , '73,- the willows may yet appear to weep over their silent dust? A friend who accompanied me. kindly' pointed out the site of the old Forty Fort, route distance below the monu ment, known now only by its close proximity to the Myers hotter, mold log building - said to have stood there ever since the battle, and In which the treaty of capitulation was signed 'by the Cols. Butler.— Queen Esther e rock Is about a mile or mote above the monument on the edge of a high bankor' bluff, sixty or eighty rods from the river, from which place of slaughter Elliot (and f — ete other Prisoner, as I was informed) escaped almost by miracle. Wintennont's Fort was some distance above, near which place the battle commenced. • - - rittaton, the huger part being on the emit aide of the river, Is a large and thriving village, owing its. fife and activity principally to the barnense amount of coal which is sent to market from here, as well as from Willembwre.

The Convention then took a recess for the purpose of giving the Committee on Resolu tions time to deliberate on the same. • At six o'cicick the Convention was again called to order. Mi. Todd, on behalf of the Committee. on Resdutions, reported the following : - Resolved, .1. That the Executive interven tion to prostrate the will of the people, Con. atitutionally expressed,either in the States or Territories, is a dangerous element of Feder al power, and 'that its exercise by the pres ent Chief Magistrate of the Republic, as well in elections as upon the Ilepresentativt.s of, the people, - meets our decideel disapproba tion. 2. That We protest., against the sectional and pro-slavery policy of the National Ad ministration, as at war with the tights of the people' and subversive of the principles of our Government. 3. That we denounce, and will unitedly oppose all attempts to enact a Congressional Slave Cbtle for the Territories, believing the same to' be utterly at war with the true pur poses of our Government, and repugnant to the moral - sense of the nation; and that we reaffirm our continued hostility to the exten sion of Slavery over the :ferritories of the Union. That we regard all suggestions and propositions of every kind, by whomsoever made, for the revival of the African slave trade, as shocking to the moral sentiments of the enlightened portion of mankind; that any action on the part of the Government or people conniving at or legalizing that horrid and inhuman traffic, would justly subject the oovprntnent and citizens of the United States to-the reproach and ;Secretion of all civilized and Christian people, and that the inaction of the National Administration_ in bringing the slave traders to justice, and its course in sending such es have ibeen arrested to trial in places where acquittal was certain, subject it fairly to the charge of conniving at the reopening of that traffic. 5- That we hold the encouragement and protection of home production and American industry to be one of the first duties of our Government; and the failure to ohtaM such encouragement and protection from' the last Congress, notwithstanding the professions of the President, convince us that:the laboring maitses of the free States will look in vain forpt tariff for the protection of their labor, -while the administration of the Government is in_ the hands of the party now in power; and that we believe the •ad valorem system wholly inadequate to the protection we de mend, and in lieu of it, we are in favor of specific dutieti on iron, coal, salt, and all such other products wholly the growth and mahu fixture of the United States. 6. That the reckless and profligate extrav agance of the National Administration, taus. ing a necessity for continued loins, without any means provided for their payment, give evidence of a ivantof that ability and integ rity which should characterize the govern ment of a free people, and unless checked will lead to a dishonor ofthe National cred it. 7.
