In pursaance of the following call the parties a ted bled last last night at the Frank- 4in Engine-bouse Hall: “* The National Union Delegates of the various wards, opposed to Republicanism and Abolition- ism, will meet in convention at the hall of the Franklin Fire Company, on Wed: y evening, May 2ist, 1862, at o’clock, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Mayor.”’ Besides the delegates, there was perhaps 8 hundred or more spectators present. Preliminary to the formal opening of the meet- ing copy of the “Washington Times’? was in the hands of each person present. The meeting was called to order at = 8 o'clock by Mr. J. 8. Holland. Mr. J. F. Ennis was placed in the chair, and Mr. Andrew P. McKenna was appointed secretary. Mr. Holland hoped that the names of the dele- gates would be called by wards. He stated that at the meeting on Monday night the name of one delegate bad nm inadvertently omitted in his ward, and another had been substituted. He sug- gested that if any delegation was not full, those present be empowered to appoint substitutes for Those absent. Mr. Marceron suggested that the names of the delegates be called before proceeding to business. He was sorry that some wards were not fully represented. The Second Ward had only three members present The Secretary called the d ites as folicws, all of them answ- ring except! essrs. S. Lewis and P. Jordan, of the Second Ward : First Ward—S. T. Drury, 5. Stover, W. Pletch- er, Andrew Carroll and Thomas Cogan. Second Ward—S._ Lewis, P. Jordan, W. P. Drury, W. E. Pettibone and Joba F. Eanis. Third Ward—J. S. Holland, Dr. 8.

Bohrer, of the Sixth Ward. Mr. 8. T. Drury that the vote be taken viva voce, each delegate calling the name of bis candidate as his name was called.

Drury sald that, before taking the vote, it would be well to know whether there were not other resolutions which were intended to be offered If so, they had best all be embod- jed In 8 series. Mr. Holland said that the resolutions were good asfarasthey went, but he did net think they went far enough. They should touch city af- fairs es well as national. He offered a series, re- affirming the ancient principles of the Democratic party. and expressing opposition to the Republi- cans, to the present Mayor, &c. Mr. McNerhany hoped the convention would follow the old usages, and appoint a committee to waiton the nominee. He moved that a com- mittee of one from each ward be appointed to waiton Mr. Haliday; carried, and Mesars. McNer- bany, Martin, Owens, J. H. Stone, W. E Pet- a P. Drury and Van Reswick were ap- ini Pur. Drury then offered a series of resolutions on the subject of public school system in this city, delaring the object of the Republi- eans to be to put the ro on an equality with the white children, which the resolutions de- nounced in severeterms. [Great applause } The convention then took a recess of ten min- utes, during which time Dr. Magruder entered Ube ball, and being called on, mounted a bench with some little dificulty, and said that he would take a low seat in the synagogue. Mr. Haliday was their standard bearer, and whenever he raised that banner the ef was prepared to back him. [Applause At this point committee retutned with Mr Hatiday,who was received with three cheers and (by courtesy) “a tiger.” The cheers were very well; but {fn attempting to follow the b’hoys of Lum-Cooper-Dem Jack -Ass -fame in getting up “a tiger,’ the convention undoubtedly put its foot in it. The reader bas only to imagine Jobn Ennis, Frank McNerbany, 3. T. Drury, Dr. Magruder et al , attempting to get up “a tiger,’’ to realize the distressing squeak and weil emitted; and it is little won that in about a minute the Franklin boys had bold of the engine house bell rope, “ Jerking it owt by the roots” in response to the fire alarm raised outside. The bell rope runs up through the hall; anda gentleman who rashiy volunteered to silence «‘the horrid bell” by grasp- ing the rope, was elevated towards the ceiling with 2 saddenress that threatened a serious bump te bis cranium, and he “drapped*’ The difi- culty was mastered by # more experienced hand, who <i the rope up through the floor. Mr. Halliday was then jatroduced tothe con- vention, and ke es follows: Gentiemen: oe been fnformed by a committee of your that I have been nomi- nated for the ofice of Mayor of this city by the convention of which you are the di tes.

The latter, to get out of prison, yielded and took the osth that he re- fused to take previously.

He should have remain firm, prison or no prison, and held his office of Mayor, and thus we shou'd have avoided our present difficulties. Had he but stood firm the grasping power arrayed agvinst him would have esitated in its course against him. Again the speaker admonished them to be cautious and prudent.

Mr. Pettibone moved the appointment of a com- mittee to whom should be referred all the reso- lutions; carried. Messrs 8. T.

Mr. McNerhany was informed that a distin- guished gentleman was present, and hoped he would address the pena He thought if the called on Senator Starke could be peevailes upon to speak. Loud cries were at once raised, from all'parts of the room, of ‘‘ Starke,’’ but no ‘‘ Starke’’ made his appearance. Some one moved that a committee be appointed to waiton him, and Messrs. McNerhany and J. R. Queen were designated. They retired, but returned presently, reporting that Mr. Starke could not address them that evening. [it leaked out su’ eoey that somebody hsd mistaken a respectable tailor of this city, who ‘was present sporting a gold-headed cane, for the Senator from Oregon } Calls of ‘* McNerbany,’’ ‘‘ McNerhany .”’ Mr. McNerhany said that two years ago he hardly expected to stand within so brief a period on the same —- with the gentleman who had preceded him.

Mr. McNerhsny, (glancing ruefully at bis crushed knuckles »—‘: That grasp came warm from the heart of my friend.’ [Luughter.] He went on to say that the issues of the present contest were the peace. prosperity and dignity of the white man. He would yield tono man in love for our Union and flag; but he loved and worshipped the Union {n the spirit in which it was framed by our forefathers, and no other. His platform was the Corstitution as ft is, and the Jnion as it was. He congratulated them on the sound constitutional Union sentiment pervading the metropolis, es evidenced by this meeting. la this contest they had opposed to them the blac flag of ubolition. Their opponents might assume what name they pleased; but they are, in heart, sentiment and org the enemies of the prin- ciples upen which the Constitution sho ma ntained. Had they not seen the report published in the Evening Star of speeches in the Seventh Ward by clerical employees of the Treasury 1e- partment, in which the most infamous language was used. To sit quietly Le oes permit the elec- tion to go by default, would be unmanly. Every man should form himself into a committee of one to rally to go the polls, thraugh a stack of bay- onets, if necessary. As to the oath, what objec- tion could he have to taking an oath to su; the Constitution. Bring out your black republii- cans, and let them take the cath. [Applause.) They cannot take it conscientiously. Let no man hesitate to take theoath. Let him not be intimidated by any threat. This oath isa weak invention of the enemy. As to Mr. Hall- day, be knew him well, had been with him in the City Hall, and believed he should have been there a Little longer, but for the votes of some of his friends, incinding Dr. Magruder. (Laugh- ter.) But (adding hastily, as if dreading another grip of friendship from the Doctor) that is all past now. Mr. Haliday was a gentleman of well known character and ability, a friend alike to Tich and poor. [Applause } Mr. Holland, from the committee on resolu- tions, reported the following; which were read: Whereas the public school system of Washing- ton Is the pride and boast of its citizens, liberal sustained by tax-payers, and cheerfully supported by 2 poll tax upon all legal voters.

Fanny SECOND EDITION. THREE O'CLOCK, P. M. EFFECTS OF THE BOMBARDMENT. The Navy Department have recetved a chart showing the position and effect of every Union shot and shell that fell within the lines of Fort Jackson (the main rebel Mississ!pp!-river defense below New Orleans), in the course of its recent bombardment. Ass whole, the drawing resem- bles the face of a fellow convalescing after a se- vere attack of the small-pox. Itshows that all the scows and small boats near the fort were sunk, except three small! ones; the drawbridge wascom- Pletely destroyed ; the bot-shot furnaces were de- stroyed; the cisterns were demolished; all the case- mates and passs ges were filled with water, the levee having been cut ; all the platforms for tents Were destroyed by fire or shell ; all the casemates are cracked from end to end ; in some'places the roof is completely broken, and frequenYy masses of brick have been dislodged. Four guns were dismounted, 11 carriages and traverses were in- jured. The outer walls of the fort are cracked from top to bottom, in several places, admitting daylight freely; 3 339 shells are computed to have been thrown in the ditches and overflowed parts of the fort ; 1,080 shells exploded in the air, over the fort ; 1,113 mortar shells were counted on the solid ground of the fort and levees, and 87 round shot. Seventy-five thousand shells were fired altogether. Thus it will be perceived that the “ practice’’ of the fleet on this occasion was perhaps the most accurate known to history since gunnery began to be a science. GENERAL ORDERS.

Some of the newspapers are mistaken in stating that the President bas called for a specific num- ber of additional troops. The calls issued are directed to the different States Governors, for volunteers to fill up their respective regiments that have fallen below their lewful quotas through the casualties of the war. Some additional entire regiments have also been requested, which, when raised, will form the necessary Reserve corps. MARINES FOR NORFOLK.
