SPECIAL Unman t EITRE PUMP
liturnaisroit, April 22,•1860
The voyage from Philadelphia , to Charleston on
the Keystone State was a pleasant one; and the
sea' smooth, bet two-thirds of the passengers on
board rafted moil' from sea-sickness, and were
greatly rejoiced-when the steamer finally arrived
at this port at tds o'clock yesterday morning.
A formal meeting of the 'Preinfulvanis 4elege-,
tion was held last night, ' and all of its members
but • two were present. Senator Blame was
cleated chairman of the delegation, and will there
fore be its organ in the Convention, but a fair off
set to thieerivailement id to be found in the feet
that, the Mends of Judge DOUGLAS were nuniere
fill in , securing the choice of Ron. HENDRICK B.
Wmoirr, of Lucerne county, as the Pennsylvania
member of the. Committee on Resolutions, to which
all questioneappertaining to the platform will be
referred, and of Joall Csasite, of Bedford county,
as the ParinviVania member of the Committee on
Organisation. , ,
A very bad feeling was erected in the delegation
by an attempt of Senator BIGLIM, Hon. Hasse
M. Holledtor Postmaster
Disowns, and other .ddrainhdration men, to Duce
it to adopt a resolution requiring that the vote of
the Statesshould be out's' a unit; but in the
midst of the warm dhaussion which this unex
pected,' and, in view of the attion of your State
Convention at Reading, unjust proposition elloited,
a motion to adjourn was carried over the Adminia
tration men.
The delegations from all the States are present in
fall force, and there are, besides, large crowds of
outsiders . present. The hotels are overflowing..
The weather is Intensely hot.
The Northwestern delegations are enthusiastic,
united, and determined in their advocacy of
Judge DouoLes. They have hired a large ball
as their 'headqnatters during the sessions of the
Convention. They organized last night, and in
their emus determined to adhere etriotly to
and reaffirm the Cincinnati platform, and to
stand by DOWILAI throughout all the ballotings
in the Convention.
After the **amnia of the °awe they or
pulsed a public meeting. The hall was crowded.
A number of speeches were made which awakened
Cinch enthiisissat.
. Me. Corrnoist, one of the delegates from your
State, (from the °minty in which Judge BLitt
formerly raided, Somerset,) pledged ten of the
twenty-seven votes in Penneylvania, for DOU
GLAS, ' until the crack of doom.
9Overnor Sine, of Maoist, is the candidate of
`the Douglas, men for President of the Convention,
and those opposed to .him genus'', support Ron.
Ou.in Otramsto, of Massachusetts. Mr. Enna.,
of Connecticut, is also spoken of as a candidate
for President of the Convention.
It is ganerelly supposed baie that on the And
will-reeeirir-smaore - robool
than any other candidate' but DotiaLis ; but the
present indications are that the Southern delegates
opposed to the latter will finally make a stand on
DIOKINNOS; of New York, who is now being more
talked of Suit Jon Latta, or any other anti• Doug..
las candidate. -
The friends of the Administration have made
strenuous efforts to induce the National Demo
cratic Otommittee to -Lento tickets of admittance

SECOND DESPATCH
Another meeting_ of, the Pennsylvania delega

members of it, this morning, for the purpose of
making a aeeond attempt to force the adoption of
the unit rule. The DOl7Oll/19 delegates have re
solved not to attend its deliberations unless they
can defeat this movement. ,
The Downes delegates, in the Convention, will
endeavor to repeal the rule by which a majority of
the delegation of a State can bind the minority to

(From the Memphis Arena, April
Last night in the Eldorado Billiard Saloon a dlifd
oulty occurred between two men named William
Myers and Charles Skinner, - growing out of in
sulting language used by the latter towards the
former. Skinner, who was considerably intoxi
cated at the time, assailed Myers with a number of
moat opprobrious epithets, which induced the lat
ter to strike him a blow with the billiard coo. Par-
ties kere interfered,' and the combatants wore sepa
rated. 'After tub hostile meeting last night we
Warn that Skinner , informed a number of persons
that he designed killing - Myers; but his threats
were regarded only as the paroxysms of rage, his
friends having no idea he would attempt their exe
cution.
This morning, Skinner met Myers on Adams
street, and requested a moment's interview. The
latter complied, and the 'rev walked along the
street together—few words, it ahy, pasting be
tween them. On arriving in front of the cigar
store at the Worsham House building, Skinner
suddenly turned around, and, drawing a pistol,
presented it at Myers' breast and fired. The ball
took effect in Myers' left breast,, immediately
above the heart, and ) after uttering ohs or two
groans, the wounded man staggered back and fell
on the pavement. Skinner, in the meantime,
coolly put up his pistol and looked ,on, making no
attempt to escape, and wee immediately seised by
two pollee ()Moore and committed to jail.
The report of the pietid sittraeted a ver,,large
orowd to the spot, and for a' few moments tno moat
intense excitement prevailed. At one time it was
thought an attempt would be made by the crowd to
wrest Skinner from the officers who were conduct
ing him to jail, and lynch him, but better counsels
prevailed, and the law was uttered to take its
course.
Mr. Myers Is a married Man, probably twenty
eight years of age, and has a wife and two chil
dren residing in Philadelphia, whence he name to:
this oily a few weeks since, for the purpose of en-:
gaging In business with Capt. Shook, mail and
passenger agent, the let of May.
The prisoner, Mr. Skinner, is abont twenty-ono
or twenty-two years of age, and a native of Phila.,
delphia, where his rents reside. Me has bowfin
this city for some t ime, engaged as bill agent for
the Memphis and Ohio llalfroad CotispatY, e nd is
represented as a most reckless, dare-devil being]
over whom passion had oomplete mastery.
The wounded man was still able to converse ra
tionally at the last accounts, and although contl.i
dent that his Injuries wilt prove mortal, denounced'
the attack made on him as cold-blooded in the ea;
frame, and of whioh he had no warning. Such is
the general opinion of all acquainted with the oir4
eumstances of the affair, and we have no hesitanoY
to saying that the !cumin was the most opid-blooded
and unprovoked ever perpetrated in this ell.

Tine Overland Pony Express.
The Overland Pony Express, bettteen the west
em frontier of Missouri and Ban Promisee, so late
ly established, is already an entirely suocessful en
terprise. We have before ue letters that left Ban
Pratteisoo on the 4th instant,' in,,the shape of tele
graphic despatches, and were mailed at Carson City
on the same day, and reached the Washington pity
post oMce on the 18th, at 10 A. M., having been
plowed, in the ordinary mail of the country at Bt.
Joseph, Mo., on the 14th instant, or in 'ten days
from Ban Promisee, on which day the general
news from California coming by that trip, of the
pony express was published simultaneously,
through the medium of the telegraph, in all the
considerable elites of the Atlantic side. Thus the
pony express has brought San Francisco, for most
practical business purposes, aotually within ton
days of New York, New Orleans, Boston, Washing
ton eity, , ,to., go.
It wilt be remembered that this enterprise, for
the inception of which, by the by, the public are
probably indebted to emitter Grin, in wholly a
private 01116-1111 much filo as Adame' Express—not
'being dependent in any manner upon Govern
ment pattonage, It is, therefore the more valua
ble to the country at large, serving. as it does, to
demonstrate the fact that overland communion
lion across the great deserts of the interior can
be aumessfully accomplished without the aid of
the customary enormous bonus from the national
Treasury -4 point of
,the greatest importance in
the future of the intercourse between the groat
eastern and western elopes of the United
Ritates. The establishment of the pony ex
press, though apparently a hazardous enter
prise, involving, as it did, an immense origi
nal outlay, of money to transact an entirely
new business, was but the natural result of ra
pidly increasing necessities of ,the commerce
between the two slopes, and of the Atlantic tide's
increased Pacific' and Eastern-ocean commerce re
sultitig from our acquisition of California and the
multifarious commercial uses to which that has
been put. The gentlemen who have put it in ope
ration are justly famed for succeeding in every
thing, great or small, they undortake—possessing
as they do in a remarkable degree all the elements
of Individual character which in their combination
may be said to be singularly typical of American
progress. That the encases of their enterprise will
be-the parent of others to grow out of the thereby
increased facilities is beyond a doubt—all of them
as they arise are operating to Moreno in the aggre
gate, greatly, the value of California and Oregon
and Washington Territory to the rest of the Union.

ent of the New Orleans Ciescerq, writing from the
Texas frontier, under date of April 11, says
' The moat exciting subject of conversation here
today relates to the disbandment of the TIMM
Itangcra, which ie to take place in a few days. A
commissioner, appointed, by, the Btate, has been.
here for the last few date, conferring with Major
Heintselman and the officers of Moils dam as to the
enrolment and payment of the Rangers as United
;litotes forces. But the offer was rejected, and Gov.
Houston feels compelled to disband them. It is the
duty of the Federal Government to protect the
frontier, and Texas does wrong to bear the ex
pense herself when there is enough money squan
dered on corruption committees at 'Washington to
pay the bill.
The Rangers are to march to Goilad as quickly
as possible, and there they will be mustered - out of
the service. This will be a sorry event for the
Rio Grande, for there is no disputing but that the
Rantoul are the most efficient force to be employed
on this frontier. Regular trbOps have their field of
Lotion, and the same may be said of irregulars.
It is confidently expected here, if the Rang
ers are withdrawn, as they surely will be, that
Cortina 'will recruit hie forces immediately, and
make another foray upon this side of the Rio
Grande. In feet, the people here are certain of it,
and many old settlers who have lived hero for
years, are nutting haste ti diSpose of their cattle
and 'dock before the robbers tetturn There ie. no
insecurity felt in the towni for we have too many
troops here to allow any anxiety from the bandits.
All the apprehension felt in this place arises front
the fear that Miramop, if defeated before Vela

GOV. WISH A 211) TUN CLIABLEBTON CONViNTION.
—The Richmond Enquirer contains the following
letter:
WASHINGTON CITY, April 18, 1860.
To NAT. TYLER, Esq.: •
My Dm Stu : I have been requested to meet a
number Of my friends, delegates to Charleston, at
Richmond, on the 19th Instant.-Determining not to
do so, for obvious reasons, I have come to this city
for family purposes alone, on my way to attend to
professional duties in Acoomao. Yet my aortae of
duty to my friends requires me not to leave them
without my aid, as far as lies in my power, to re
lieve them from ' all embarrassment, in respect to
my name at least, in the Charleston Convention.
The division of sentiment in Virginia, I fear,
may tend to destroy the unity of the Demoora
tio party in the 'State. And nothing which I can
do shall be omitted to prevent such a deplorable
result in the presentdistraoted state of the country.
I was anxious to have a fair and full expression
of the preference of Virginia. Whether that has
been done or not, it is not proper now to discuss;
because the delegates who have been chosen will
necessarily have to declare that preference, and
their aotion ought not to be impugned or impaired
in advance. Whether the voice of the State has
been truly expressed or not, j hesitate not to adniit
that its proftwonee has not been deolarod for me ;
and I would not claim it where there was the least
ground of cavil or mistake. Whoever else the pre
ference has been expressed for, it has not Leen
expressed for me. Without the voice of Vir
girds, clearly and Indisputably declared for Me.
I decline to allow my name to be presented
primarily before the Convention for a nomination.
In no event am I willing that it shall 'name any
division of the vote of our delegation. I beg my
friends, therefore, not to offer my name, but, to
unite cordially with the majority of thedelegation,
and to present the vote of the State a mitt before
the Convention. I request them, too, to do this in
good lain:, without exacting any alternate pledges
Whatever. Let Virginia, be a unit as to the nomi
nation; let her adhere to 'her constitutional princi
ples, unit or not, and let the harmony of the Do
mooratio party be preserved. • This is all I have to
say to my friends, and I trust it will not only dis
embarrass them e but free me from the unjust imp*.
tattoo of designing ordesiring to distract or divide
the Demooraoy. And this you are anthorliedi to
announce to them, and to publish to the world.
Very sincerely, yours,

Which Benjamin Gerhard, Soq. , prisided. 'Wil
liam H. Drayton, Esq., of Select Council, Hon.
Diehard Vaux, Hon. William A. Porter, and Hen•

Drayton discussed the national issues involved in
the present campaign, and contended for the
equality of all the States of the 'Union in the Ter

pends inici . the ,prdsperity of .the Simth,'And the
prosperity of the South depends upon the proeperi
ty of the North. Let anything occur to destroy
the harmony of the two sections, and you afoot the
industrial interests of She country. Already New
England has begun to feel it in the shoe trade, and
in this city it is beginning to be observed, and
many merchants and manufacturers, who have
heretofore abstained from meddling With politics,
now come forward and propose to Into the Demo-
Crane ticket, as the only one yid& cad rigors the
old state of things, when there was mutual confi
dence between the North and the South. Mr.
Vaux in his remarks, said that, while the People's
party had reduced the rate of taxation, they had
Increased the funded debt of the city one million of
dollars.

Music er FAIIIMOUBT. —Our readers will re
member how popular were the frei Musical con
certs given by the passenger railway
,00mpanieti,
on the north side of Fairmount begin, Alaitne. the
warm afternoons of last summer. They formed a
delightful recreation for ladies and children, many
hundreds of whom were oongregated there nearly
every afteinooll, listening to the trimming music of
the Germanium, and enjoying the cool breezes
Wafted from the bosom of the Schuylkill: , The
only objection raised against thine entertain
ments was, that the people would trespass. upon
and destroy the grass. It has been stated that the
Committee of Councils having the subject in charge
'have determined to report's resolution prohibiting
the use of the grounds used last summer for this
pa ~but will recommend that the. promenade
on tbenorth and - of the irheel•houses; resetting to
the summer house fronting the_eastma end, of the
dam, shall be Widened' by extending the prome
nade way over the; top .of the new mill
house about being , constructed .. To this nobody
could object, as it would afford an 'unobstructed
view, both up and down the rivers with the graceful
Wire Bridge on one side, and She beautiful Water
fall over the dain at the other, with Lemon Hill
and a most charming landscape In the distance.
All this, as we have observed, will be very Ana; but
judging from the rate at whichlhe work upon the
ne* - millhouse at the mound dam has teen pre.
grassing; it CH probably be late in.the, fall or
next winter, before It will be completed. In the
meantime, what berm can there be in permitting
the public, to use the green spots on the north side,
the same as last summer'? ,she effort to deprive
the, citizens of all the enjoyment they can get at
these delightful, phiees, smacks rather• strongly of
selfishneu on the part of the Committee -of Caim
ans. As regards the Matter being one ofirotit to
the railway companies, that is a small ,o action.
The entertainments were oreditable to the l iberality

assessments had been made of portions whose
