VENING STAR. = oe LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tae O1p Sovpise's Coxventiow, whose Te- assembling was announced in yesterday's Star, was oj ized by the appoiatment of Hon Joel B. Sutherland, of Pennsylvania, to the Chair, and a Vice President from every State and Territory, and the District of Co- lumbia. A Committee, consisting of General Leslie Combs, Dr. Daniel Bemus, James M. Porter, Isaac W. Mickle, George MecNeir, Joseph P. Leclere, Thomas Brownell, Andrew Hooton, Col. H. Raymond, John S Strother, and John Shaw, reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : 1. Resolved, That we greet each other with heartfelt pleasure on this glorious anniversary of the last great battle and victory of the war of 1812, pa trust that itscommemoration may never be forgotten by our descendants. 2. Kesolved, That the great events of the war of 1312 are too deeply imprinted upon the recorded history of our country ever to be for- gotten or disregarded by our posterity. On the ocean, on the lakes, aad va the land, the sailors and soldiers of the war of 1312 proved themselves worthy of their Kevolutionary fa- thers. It has been justly styled, the second war of independence. 3. Resolved. That both justice and prece- dent require of Congress the passage of a eral pension bill. based upon fair principles, for the benefit of the surviving soldiers and sailors of the war of 1512, and the widows and minor children of such as are dead; and that if the present Congress shall not be able to act upon this deeply interesting subject, we pledge ourselves to bring the question to the polls in future elections. 4 Resdlved, That we tender our sincere thanks to our Senators and Representatives who passed the late bounty land bill, and to President Pierce for seecemt it and causing it to be executed in a liberal spirit. Its ben- efits and blessings have been felt in every part of our broad land. 5. Resolved, That if Congress be able to do Justice to the soldiers and sailors of 1812 and their widows and minor children at the pres- ent session, we will open the next campaign with renewed vigor and higher hopes under the incoming Administration, the honored head of whick served as a private soldier dur- ing that war. 6. Resolved, ‘that, in our judgment, all pengion acts should be construed liberally, and not upon strict techuical principles, so ae to defeat the evident intention of the legisla- i nd where a soldier, sailor, or | have died in the service of hiz country, he shall be presumed to have died sx the line of his duty 7. Resolved, Thet it be recommended to each of the States to form associations of the surviving soldiers and sailors of the war of 1812, to have an annual meeting on such day as may bedeemed edvisable; and that our surviving brethren in the District of Columbia be requested to hold their annual meeting on this anniversary. 8 Resolved, That it be recommended to such as can convenientl; do so to attend the Oid Soldiers’ Convention which may be an- nually held in this city, and to co-operate with each other in any measure deemed neces- sary for the general good 9 Kesolved. That, while death is constant- ly cutting down our beloved brothers on the right hand and on the left, it becomes those who remain behind to draw the cords of love and fellowship closer and still closer. Nor should we allow ourselves t» forget the wit and minor children of those who are dead, but be ever ready to aid them ia their declin- ing years as much as we can. fe Resolved, That the pension of a wounded soldier or sailor — to commence from the day he was disabled in the service of his seuntry, end not, as now practiced, from the date of his application at the Pension Uffice. ‘Lhe latter we deem urjust and unfair. 11. Resolved, That we take this occasion to thank Congress for conferring upon our old brother soldier, Lieutenant General Winfield Scott, the highest rank known in the military annals of our country. His long and briiliant serviees in all our wars well merited such a compliment 12. Resolved, That our thanks are due to the editors of the public press for their warm and generous advocacy cf our cause, and with their continued assistance we fecl sure that justice will be done to the aged and decrepid soldier, and the widows and minor children of those who are dead 13, Heso/ved, That the proceedings of this Convention be presented to Congress, with the request that they may be printed, and extra copies sent to the surviving soldiers, widows, and children of the war of 1312 A resolution offered by General Coombs, in favor of the restoration of worthy men who bave been nojustly stricken from the service by the Retiring Board, was adopted A committee waz appointed, as stated in yesterday's Star, to wait upon the President of the United States to express to him the unani- mous thanks of this Convention for the cour- tesies received from him at its former session, and to assure bim of the continued respect entertained for him by the soldiers of the war of 1312. Stirring speeches were made, by the chair- man of the Convention ; by Gov. J. M. Porter, of Pennsyivania; a Peter, of Montgomery county, Md ; G@. W. P, Custis, and Mr. Ryker of New York, upon a resolution offered by Gov. Porter, appointing a committee to deviae means for the erection of a monument to President Madison, who recommended the war ef Is12; after which the resolution was adopted.

The Board then adjourned. Gayery.—The fashionable world around us are making the most of the season. evidently ; one or more hops coming of nightly. On the night before last, we hear, there was a de- lightful one at Willard’s a large number of distinguished persons and fashionable ladies now sojourning in the city being present. Last night there was one of the most agree- able hops of the season at the National, crowd- ed with guests of the house, leading public men, stranger ladies, and not afew wellknown resident belles and beaux At eleven o’clock the gay cumpany proceeded to the supper table, bountifully and tastefully spread in the ladies ordinary, where they enjoyed them- selves vastly, amid the clatter of plates and the popping of champagnecorks Supper over, they again repaired to the drawing rooms of the establishment, where the dancing con- tinued until the small hours The parlors of the fashionable boarding house of Mrs. Reynolds—Pennsylvania ave- nue, corner of Four-and-a-bal{ street—were als» filled with a gay company last night, jn- duiging in the pleasures of the hop. Many members of Congress other than thoge located in the house were there, aud a host of the prettiest girls in hingtoa, besides quite a number of lady visitors of our city. A boun- tiful suppor was duly discussed ere they sepa- rated, and was evidently relished with sach appetites as bright eyes, joyous music and mirthful dancing are apt to generate. Wasaincton Monument Association.—We learn that the Know-Nothing Board of Mana- gers of the Washington Monument propose to take the back track from the position into which they thrust themselves by the displace ment of gentlewen of the highest chavacter audeflicieney. The self-elected Know-Nothing Board were to do wondrous things, amongst whieb, we believe, was the completion cf the monument witbin the year, by contributions from patrictic Hindoos throughout the land. But the country Know Nothings did not re- spond, and we bare waited in vain for the monument to grow to its promised five hundred feet under Kuow- Nothing management. We need not remind our readers how com- plete and mortifying hus been the failure of the uew management to carry outa single one of its boasted promises. Now the Board iuti- mates & purpose to resign, and allow the man- agement to pass into more efficient hands. The question is, who will be willing to accept a trust rendered s0 onerous by the entangle- ment in which it has been involved by the present Board. —_— Save or Property.—Mr. Jas. C. MoGuire sold on yesterday that piece of Property sit- uated on the corner of G street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, ovcupied by Clagett, Newton, May & Co. for $21,600; Lg oy the rate of $8 r equare foot. Though the day was very Siesta a large company was in attendance and the bidding was very spirited from the commencement to the conglysion of the sale.

QGzorgRtown, Jan. 9, 1857, Nationat Tagatne.—Considering the so- verity of the weather there was a good assem- blage at the Theatre Inst night. The picces were brilliant, as inevitable with everything brought out by the Ravels, but not exactly what the public has been trained to expect from the troupe.¢ In fact, everybody lodks for abundance of diadlerte with the advent of the Ravels, and watch the bills for the announce- ment of such pantomimes as ‘“‘ The Green Monster,’’ ‘“ The Night Owl,’’ &e , &c., with demons, fairies, Harlequin, Clown and Colum- bine. To night the fascinating Russian artiste, Yrea Mathias, takes her benefit and appears a: Le Papillon in the beautiful ballet of ‘ Rose and Papillon.”’ A rich treat may be looked for in the conjunction of two such performers as Gabriel and Francois Ravel in the respec- tive parts of Jaques Strop and Robert Ma- cairo, and again as Serg’t Berge and the Con- script in the new comic pantomime. Wasuixnaton Crrcus —Another attractive erformance was given at this establishment fast eveniug, and to night the programme will be equally worthy of patronage, replete with all thatis beautiful in the equestrian art, and pregenting an array of the most novel scenes of horsemanship, wonderful gymnastic feat:, and acrobatic exploits, seldom, if ever, equalled by any troupe we have seen Mad- awe Tourniaire and the Ferranti Family alone sre worth tho price of admission charged, aud receive nightly the highest praise. A grand afternoon performance will be givea to-mor- Tow. Gas Bourners.—We have recontly tested im our office the Seotch Nipple Gas Burners, sold by John Jenkins, 505 Seventh street, and believe them to be a decided improvement. The jet of gas is thrown off in such sort that it is consumed without waste, and with the largest umount of light to the proportion of gas used Sarusoxian Institution —Dr. Morris, of Baltimere, delivers the third lecture of his i g course upon the habits and inetincts ight.
