CONVENT lON IN lINIONTOWN emocracy in Connell-20,00D Free men Present—Unparalleled Ent ha edam—Speeches, Banners Music...kr At seven o'clock yesterday morning a large delegation met at Central Hall, cor ner Fifth and Smitiib:eld streets, and, af ter forming in procession, marched to the depot headed by an excellent brass band. Arrived at the cars, the procession was joined by hundreds of excursionists who were in waiting, ald at a few minutes af ter eight o'clock the enthusiasiic delega tion started on its way for Uniontown, which place was reached about noon. At McKeesport, West Newton, Conneltsville, and, indeed, at every station along the line of road, the excursionists were greeted with cheer upon cheer, and large acces sions to their number joined them at every point. The trip was an exceedingly pleasant one, and will long be remember ed by those who had the good fortune to ...enjoy it. Arrived at. Uniontown, the excursion ists were not long in receiving practical evidence of the far famed hospitality of the democracy of old Frivette. The "latch strings new all out." and an abundance of good cheer awaited all who choose to par take. The town was literally alive with people who had come in by the thousands from the mlnutains and the plains to attend the grind Mass Convention. Music resounded thrensh the st reets—fla,gs floated on the breezy--banners, bearing approprta" ,, dsvict, were every where to be saes—immens - t hickory trees, whose topmost boughs waved high in the air, were carried in the procession—indeed ev erything was calculated to gladden the heart of all true patriots, and urge them forward in the great work before them, that of saving our glorious Union—Free dom's last refuge—from being utterly and irretrievably ruined by the Abolition fana tics who hold the reins of Government, and for the time direct the destinies of the country. After some difficulty, the Marshals suc ceeded in forming the immense masses in procession, and marched them to the place for holding the Convention. After reach ing the ground, an organization was effec ted by the appointment of the following officers: PRESIDEIIT HON. DANIEL STURGEON VICE PRESIDEN'TS Allegheny County.—James P.

Josh Ward Beaten by Hammill in a Fire Mile RSICO—Time, ,Thirty-Seven Minutes Forty-EigittSeconds, The great and final contest between Josnua Ward, of Newburg, N. Y., and James Hammill, of Pittsburgh, Pa., came off yesterday afternoon at Poughkeepsie. The city was overflowed with visitors from all partied the country, who had assem• bled to witness the encounter for the championship of America. Every hotel and tavern in the city and the suburbs was crowded, and the race was the all absorb. log theme of conversation. Ward was the general favorite, and $5OO to $4OO was freely offered on him, with no takers. Hammill reached Poughkeepsie on Satur day, and took a turn or two over the course on Sunday, but the balance of the time remained quiet. He was in splendid condition, and every muscle was at perfect freedom. He rowed his new boat (no name), which is twenty-eight feet six inches long—two feet longer than his old boat add one and a half inches wider. He rowed yesterday with sweeps, but in his former races used the square oar. Harma mill was dressed in white pants, blue shirt and red cap. Ward did not arrive in Pough keepsie until noon of Monday, and he was also in apparent good condition. He rowed his old boat, Dick Ittsdcn. His weight was 175 pounds, eleven pounds more than he ever weighed before, which gave considerable dissatisfaction to his friends and backers. He wore white pants, but was stripped to the waist, and bare headed. Ward *on the inside track. The umpires were T. F. Doyle, cf Boston, for Ward, and J. Scott, of Pittsburgh, for Hammill. Joe Coburn acted as referee. The judges were Stationed on the stake boats ; but the referee followed the con testents around, on the tug A. S. Stevens, which was chartered by a private party of gentlemen of this city. At fifteen minutes to three the men appeared on the track— Hammill putting in the first appearance— and were loudly cheered by their respec tive friends. At precisely nine minutes to three o'clock the signal was given, and a start was effected, Ward gaining rot advan tage of nearly a boat's length, The con trast between the strokes ot the two En'en was most marked--Ward's rnoti-mt beluga long, steady pull, while Hammill's style is quick, short jerks. Hann:oars strokes were, by the watch, forty-two to the min ute, against thirty-eight in the same period of time by Ward, giving Hammill a mini feet advantage as long as Ward would hold out. The two men had rowed but a few moments when Hammill began to gain on Ward, passinehim, and contin uiug to ktep the lead around the upper stake boat. Ha turned it in I minutes and seconds, Ward I: , llowirg 16 seconds in the rear. In effecting tip, turn Hammitt was exceedingly quick, and gamed a very great advaut.sge us Ward. whose movements were very Plo w. Ward began to show evidences of weariness, and he labored evidently cry hard. Hammill leading hirn at least fi't, r twenty boat's lengths net i now fifty to ten on liammtil. The :ace h me was a continual game on Ward by Hammill. Ward evidently being fi,gged out. The Pittsburgh boy, as he passed each p int where the spectators had ass, mbled, cheered lustily. Stevens, of l'oughkeei sie, followed the contestants around in his shell boat, and kept up well with them, not rounding the state-boat:, however. On the return h e led Hain mill in, and many of Ward's friecus mistook him for Ward, and cheered loudly beforethey discovered their error.:Hanimill reached the home boat in 19 minutes and 33 seconds, and Ward came in one min ute behind. The five miles were made it, 37 minutes and 58 seconds, bring f-ur minutes quicker than the race of Juiy. The race was for five miles, the stoke being $l,OOO a side. Tao river was as calm and unruffl,id as a French p:i-oe mirror, and the sun was quit^ wand enough for comfort. A handsomer day could not possibly have been selected. "'he course was kept free from everything, and no foul was made or could have here claimed. Not. leas thnn 5 tut 1) 7 111 h) persons witnessed the race. nut °rig t b a large number of ladies.

He itumedi• ately stopped payment by telegraph. Another gentleman was relieved his watch and $230, and the victims were very numerous. A great deal of had liquor was drunk, and murk had temper was the concequence, resulting in fregtont fist fights. Ward's friends who were heavy losers, complain much of their favorite's condi• tiont and talk freely of another trial. A general murmur ran through the crowd that Ward had sold the race ; but W.,rd himself and hie closest friends d en y t h e ineinusticn in Coto, ant thy point to the time made as an evidcnce of a fair rnce. Ells loss of the race is mainly ruff-161mA however, to his having toc ti ish on his breast, which 'winded and thus deprived him of his. chnuipion,hii. Another race is therefore not irnpri bable This afternoon there will be another sea. sea cf rowing over the tame c'iur.e for three prizes—seventy fire doliars, fifty dollars and twenty - five dollars. JOs h. Ward's brX.er, Stevens, Millar and others are entered, and a lively alter noon's sport is anticipated. '1 be ears from Poughkeepsie to N , -tv York were' crowded and not even stead g room was' to be had. The pickpockcei settled down like a swarm of locusts, and plied their nefarious trade with great success. A Mr. Jaques, of Newburg, was relieved of four one hundred dollar bills cn the Qiiassaic Bask of Newburg, and several others were soon minus smaller amounts. Tue train was composed of eighteen cars. and, though due at Chambers street at eight o'clock, did not get there till half past ten—N. . herald. The Tribune, in an account of the race, thus closes its report : "Ward's oars were the first to touch the water. when the word 'go' was pronounced, and his bo tt quickly showed in advance. lief;re a hundred yards were passed .los. was leading a couple of boat lengths; his long, regular, sweeping stroke contrasting strongly with the quick, short, but powerful stroke of Hammill. seemed impossible to main tain, for any length of time, the lightning like action of the latter, which caused his shell to fairly fly through the waters, and Ward's success was confidently predicted, as his endurence was well known. Before three quarters of a mile was passed Elain• mill had collared and passed his opponent, and with strength and rapidity of stroke unimpaired he shot ahead, increasing his lead every moment, and turning stakeboat a minute and a quarter ahead. Without relaxing his exertions, either in speed or power, he shot through the water on his homeward path, leaving Ward toiling hopelessly in the rear, and allowing him to realize the truth of the proverb, that 'a stern chase is a long chase.' The race was now virtually over, for although Ward cocasionilly made a fast spurt, Hammill answered by one still faster, and even•ually won the race in the hollowest possible manner, passing the judge's boat first by fully two hundred and fifty yards, amid the loud acclamations of the Pittsburgh ere, his backers and friends, in 37 minutes 38 seconds, the time being, two minutes faster than in the previous race. The judges on the occasion were Thos. Doyle, of Boston, for Ward, and James Scott, of Pittsburgh, for Hammill. Joe Coburn, acted as referee. Among the many large wonders was the veteran oars man, Mr. Stephen Roberts, of this city, who, detecting the superior abilities of Hammill as an oarsman, on his first ap pearance, took him in hand, and has been rewarded for his unswerving faith in his prowess, notwithstanding his previous de feat, by seeing him now the acknowledged champion oarsman - of America," Let every Democrat in the two cities and the adjacent boroughs bear in mind the meeting announced to come off this evening at the Old Scotch Hill Market. The speakers announced will positively be present and address the assemblage. Tarn ont, then, Democrats, in your strength, and show that you are in earnest, and de termined to win a glorious victory on the second Tuesday of October. .IThirint.y CONTRABAND—NOW that the officer named in the following paragraph, which we clip from Wilkes' Spirit, 18 far on his way to his deEitination, it will not be considered contraband to publish it here: "In addition to this, we are happy to lay before the public, the information chat Gen.

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON THE KANSAS DELEGATION ARRIVAL of the EUROPA LATEST FOREIGN NEWS VIASECINUTON, Sept. 80.—The Kansas delegation waited on President Lincoln .to-day, by _appointment, and presented thrOugh their chairman, Mr. Drake, their alleged grievances and asking for a change of military commanders ire the department of Missouri. The President received, the address and promised to give it a careful consideration and furnish a reply as soon aspracticable. A free conversational discourse took place continuing several hours. This having been a strictly pri• Vate interview, no reporters of the press were present. The address is signed• by seventy persons composing the commit tee who ray that they have endeavored carefully, to avoid exaggeration and speak simple truth. They ask the imme• diate restoration of the military control of Missouri to the hands of the national officers and troops, and the entire dis charge of all the enrolled malitia of the State from any further service at the ar bitrary will of Gov. Gamble, and further that in place of Gen. Schofield a comman der be assigned the department of Mis souri, whose sympathies will be with Mis soari's loyal and suffering people and not with slavery and pro slavery men. They say that Gen. Schofield has disap pointed their just expectations, by identi lying himself with their State Administra tion, and that his policy has been, as they believe, shaped to conform to Gov. Gam ble's pro-slavery aed conservative views. Ihe delegation says that from the day of Gen. Schofield's accession to the command of the department, matters have grown worse and worse in Missouri, till the con dition of things are worse than they have been at any time since the outbreak of the rebellion. They, therefore, respectfully pray 1 he President to send another General to command that department, and it they do not overstep the bounds of propriety, ask that the commander sent them he Maj. Gen. B. F. Butler ; that his presence there would restore order and peace in Missouri in less thou sixty days. He would be received by their people with re• juicing, and they would once inure he permitted to feel that loyalty is to govern Misituri. They entreat the President to observe that in their ill-fated Saite, the c)riti.ct is between loyalty and disloyalty. It is impassible that both should rule there ; one or the other must go down. They say that if the President refuses their request, they re:urn to their homes only to witness, in consequence of that refusal, more active and relentless prosecution of the futon men ; and to feet that while Maryland can rejoice in the protection of the Government of the Union, Missouri is still to be the victim of a pro slavery conservatism, which blasts wherever it reigns. The address concludes as follows: "We ask only justice and protection to our suffering people. It they are to e nter hereafter, as now en i in time past, the world wilt remember that they are not re spcnsiblc for the gloomy page in AI tsseuri's history, which may have to record the in dernmdent efforts of her harraes,d, brit still loyal men, to detemi themselves, their families and their homes agei est their die loyal and murderous n•s'issins " CAPE Bien, September t.tt).--Th e steam• ship Europa pase,.d Cape line') at ft.ttO p. m. to-day. She was hoarded by the news yacht. ihe political news is unimportant. Rumor sup that the Confederate envoy at London is to be with'rawn, in rouse quence of the meanness ci th• British government. A letter trom Richmond in the Confed• crate organ, the Index, speaks of the probable early recall of the represto.tatives of the South from England on account of the attitude of the British Government. The London tar first states that it is the intention of the French Government to speedily recognize the Confederate States. It advances various acts a'td demenstra lions to justify the belief, and c„ratis to the conclusion that we must be prepared for French recinguition bid , ire long. The Loudon Herald adverting to the rumored probable witbdrawl of Mason from London says, it is in consequence of the systematic rudeness with which h. has been treated by Russia. The Herald hints that it has seen through the engges lion of Mr. A clams and Says that. Mr. Mason bus been excluded from cfEcial inter ccurse with the liri!ish government. The Paris corn spondent of the Morning Post rays, a new loan for the Confederacy is t outemplated. The French government has certainly not thrown any difficulty in the way of the Florida. Capt. Mat resigned command of the Florida on at count of ill health. Lieutenant Barney probably takes com maul. One ,t the reasons fur the decline of the Paris Bourse is the !Apprehension by some operators that the deciiun in the case of the Florida may lead to unpleasant feelings between the French and Federal governments. The Paris Pays says the Eeglish j)urnals are mistaken iu looking noon the note lately published in the Moniteur respecting the Florida, to a step tows-do the recognition of the euuted erates.

He charged the New England clergy with instigating the war, and asserted that the war would soon end when President Lincoln lost clerical support, He declared that the South had the means for carrying on the war for years to come, but was,•neyerthele3s, ready to lay down the sword, and leave the question at issue to the ballot. The Pa r is Opiniona Nationale believes itselt able to state that the English Cabi• net, fearing that France may take posses sion of Mexico, is strongly endeavoring to persuade the Emperor of Aust:ia to consent to the acceptance of the throne by Maxamillian. The same paper says a Mexican loan is spoken of to be effected in London as Boon as the Arch Duke is officially pro claimed. The Emperor also said that 8,000 Irish men would be enrolled for services in the new Empire. These statements caused a material improvement in Mexican securi ties in London. The Times' city article remarks that the employment of Irish troops is calculated to prevent the United States from undertaking any aggression on the new monarchy. The Russian reply to the English note is published. Tt professes an ardent desire to restore tranquility in Poland.
