Joseph Vanee, late Governor of Ohio; Hon. Wm. Medill, lete U. S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs; the Hon.

Townshend, of Lorain, well known in Ohio politres within the last two years, and Lucien Swift, of Sammit, his legiti- sate successor in free soil honor and glory in th General Assembly of Ohio. The convention is now at the close of the fifth week of the session, and yet so little progress has been made in the discharge of the duties ineum- bent upon it, that it is searcely possible to fix upon coy measure that has been definitely settled, ex- cept thal, perhaps, of biennial sessions of the Gene- ral Assembly. The offices of the State will be filled by popular elections, almost without an ex- ception, and a revision of some kind will be made in the judiciary system; but to what extent does not aa yet 1 ar. No discussion has as yet taken place of the question of sagro pufirage, and from present appearances, it seems doubtful whether any very extended one will. If it does, the con- tion will never adjourn. The report of the islative Committee is the only one that passed through Committee of the Whole, even on that passage, the greatest innovations were informally paseed, to be discussed at other times, und whea cognate questions shall arise in their order. A biennial jslature, with its Senators and represented biennially ; the addition of a Lieute nant Governor to our system ; the election of al the executive, judicial and oth State by the pee office to the shortest possible time—conferring upon the Legislature the power to repeal bank charters and other eorporate privileges—these are the princi- pal subjects of discussion that seem likely to be adopted, though there is ecarcely a vision in our present organic law that will not sought to be amended.

The directreeses of the Ladies’ Home Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh are extending the sphere of their laudable efforts, and have recently established a branch of their society at the corner of Cross and Little Weter streets, (Five Points,) which we attended on Sunday, and where their labore are likely to result in desirable success. The society have established themselves in this vici- nity only within the last three weeks, and the pupils, male and female, already number nearly seventy, who attend the daily as well as the Sabbath exer cises of the institution. Already have three fe- males, who had been leading a life of profligacy, gladly abandoned their course of vice, and they are now provided with situations by the Rev. McKen- dry Pee, who, upon the application of the direc- tresses, appointed missionary to this locality by the bishop. Twochildren have also beentakea from idleness, and placed in employment by the society. It is the intention of the managers to build ‘a church in the neighborhood of the Five Points, in which they are generously aided by se veral influential philanthropista. Subscriptions for that purpose will be received by the missionary und the committee. The object of t! society is to raise funds to sup- port city missionaries, whose business it will be, in addition to wrenching the gospel, to visit the poor, the sick, end the friendless,° in the lanes and alleys of our city—to converse and pray with them, and to endeavor toinduce them toattend s»me place of wor- ship—to send their children to Sabbath-se hool—to promote the interest of the temperance cause, ans im every way to labor for the good of souls. The society has been established for the last six years, and has already built three churches, and three more are in progress, During the month of May we took occasion, in referring to the religious anniversaries of New York, to direct the attention of the missionaries to Is that pope correction in certain parts of ty. We then asked—* Are there none more dark than the heathen, to be found within'this city, hanting in the infemy of mental and bodily cor- ruption? Are there none to be found in the pur- lieus of the “ Five Points,” and similar localities, who have never heard the gospel truths? Is there no’virtue to be protected ? no vice tobe suppressed ? Cunnot missionaries be sent among the rising gene- ration 7” &c., &e. These questions have been an- swered in the affirmative, by the generous action of the Ladies’ Home Missionary Society, who have found many in want of spiritual education; and, as we understand, those by no means unwilling to re- ceive the bleszings which pious charity is desirous of. ingerting. We are glad that our hints were acted upen in less than a fortnight rwarde, and that the re sults are even thus early proving most successful. The directresses of this society are :—Mrs. Rev. E, S. Janes, First Directress, 26 Lispenard street; Mrs. C. R. Deuel, Second Directress, 841 Broad- way; Mrs. Dr. Palmer, Third Directrees ; 32 Riv- ington street; R. A. Mra. Reading, Treasurer, 119 First avenue ; Mra. W. 33. Skidmore, Rec. Secre- tary, 186 Hudson street; Miss Imogen Mercein, Cor. Secretary, 415 Fourth street. These ladies, for their incessant and philan*hro- ic exertions, deserve the highest respect from their How-citizens; and we trust that from the wealthy they may receive pecuniary assistance, to enable them to follow out the objecta of the Home Mis tionary Society. We make the following extract from the last an- nuul report. “During the past years we have made eur ap- peals in every form: present we can but reiterate them. We have pleaded with our friends as citi- zens of that great emporium which all acknowle: to be the fountain-head of all the good and evil ia- fluences which overshadow our land: as philan- thropwts, who admit that the temporal weal of the present generation depends upon the influences which are thrown around their infancy and child- hood: as Christ who believe that the eternal destinies of thor ja are affected by their present reception or pation, of gospel overtures; and ‘how can they hear without a preacher, and how can they preach except they be sent?” We have leaded for helplees infancy, for weeping childheod, for ardent, erring youth, for vicious, hardened man- hood, yea, even for the hoary head of wickedness. All euch are embraced in our various missionary stations ; and commending them once aguin to the active sympathy of our friends, we close our year’s report, and start anew to labor and to hope.” Our Nashville Correspondence. Nasuvinix, Jane 12, 1850, The Dinner to the Delegates to the Nashville Con- wention. The Convention has been in session here for the last nine days, and has, so far, done a great deal of good. As, I have no doubt, you have received a regular account of the proceedings, I will not weary your patience with a repetition, my present object being to give you a short account of a dinner party given by ex-Goveror A. V. Brown, and Gen. Pillow, of the Tennessee delegation, to the mem- bers of the Convention, yesterday, at the Nash- ville Inn. At3 o'clock, the party sat down to a table spread with all the substantials and luxuries of the season The chair was occupied by Governor Brown; and General Pillow sat as the vice president. After doing full justice to the excellent dinner, furnished by Mosher, the champogne was circulated freely. As the time allotted for the social and convivial mneeting was short, no regular toasts were given frem the chair. General Pillow gave the first “The Twin States of Alabama and Mississippi; which was responded to Mr. W. Rea, of yore » who gave, “The State of Tennesses, her gal- fantry and her beauty—to the one we give our praise on the field of arms; to the other, our admir- ation at their homes.” The chairman’ then gave, “The Southern Convention, its happy inflaence—in reven days, it brought w into line.” Judge Sharkey e%. “The citizens of Tennessee, their valor on the field is only equalled by their hospi- tality athome.” Several other sentiments were iven, When General Ptllow gave, “The Missouri Qcayvomiee Line—on that line we are wane to meet our brethren of the North, and exetnd to them the right hand of fellowship—from it we will not be driven, except at the point of the bayo- net.” Recei with nine times nine. The utmost harmony good feeling prevailed; and all regretted they had to leave the festive board to meet in Convention at half past 4 o'clock. ‘The delegates to the Convention have been most horpitably entertained by the citizens of Nashville.

The two gentlemen argued briefly the Missouri Compromise line and the Texas boundary line. Mr. Clay said he was willing to go for almost any plan by which the greut vexed question of the day would be settled, and peace could be restored to the country.

Another enterprise of Reeside & Co. is the splen- did omnibus for thirty passengers, communicating with a swift boat they have established, running to Alexendria. The gentlemen are entitled to suc- cess; but as competition is the life of trade, the more the merrier; and if the new lines to come re- duge the fare to three cents, the public will cer- tainly not complain.

But let us wait. “Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.” Your exposure of the fuct, that Mr. Joseph L.

A Revolution in Washington— The Hackmen com- pletely used up—New , York Omnibuses wn full Swing-—Great Sensation among the old Stagers. Before the New York Herald iutroduced that revolution in the newspaper press, which has ex- tended ull over the country, oa the only system ia keeping with the enterprise and spirit of the age,we all remember the jog-trot pace of the old sixpen- nies, and,their publication of important news a week after it was known to everybody. A revolution, since January last, equally de- cisive in its results, has been introduced into ‘Washington in the shape of the New York omni- buses. Washington covers a space, with its scat- tered parcels of houses, of nearly five miles square, and these are some of the distances from the Na- tional (ate Colemen’s Hotel) which is regarded as the centre of travel and business uf the city. From the National Hotel to the Capitol, steep hill part of the way, one-third of a mile. To the President’s and departments, excepting post office, two-thirds of a mile, To the steamboat landing, one mile. To the Congressional Cemetery, three miles. To the Navy Yard, two miles. To the Arsenal, two and a half miles. To the General Post office, one-fifth of a mile. To the Patent office, do. To Georgetown, which may be considered a suburb of Washington, 24 miles. From time immemorial, in traversing these dis- tances, the traveller has been at the mercy of the hackmen ; and their exertions upon the uninitiated, in not making ® bargain beforehand, are as wide as the boundaries of the United States, and» deal wider. Indeed, these hackmen had for @ lor tme, been the particular dread of all strangers, an the particular annoyance at the hotels, railroad de- pot and steambont landing. To go to Georgetown oreny mtermediate distance, the choice was be- tween a hack, at the hackman’s discretion, ame of Colonel Nailor’s old style store-box omnibuess, at 124 cents, or on foot, and the latter alternative was more Frequently adopted than any other. Mr. Thomas Fitman, however, had seen the operation of the New York omnibuses, and | winter went to Mr. Venderwerken, at Newark,New Jersey, and bought those rplendid machines for an experiment in Washington. But be gave sucha lowing account of the fine opening’ here for the winers, that Vanderwerken forthwith seat on 6i other splendid ompibuses on his own accoun' Fitman sold out, For & month or two the new busses did not do much—they were unfashionable; but their elegance, comfort, and the fip for al the way to Georgetown, were not to be resisted. Paesengeis increased—the ladies found the new *busees the very thing—everybody found them the very thing; and it is now a common thing to find members of ( reporters, messengers, fashiouable ladies, and Irich maida, all in the same "bus for a fip. And we lixe it. It is republican—itis rociable, and man is sociable fellow, after all. He likes a crowd, and naturally he is fond of mixin, in with other peoble, and the fip ia a leveller of all distinctions. Every body rides in the new omni- buses, Admiral Reeside, of Pennsylvania, and Mr Vanderwerken have recently introdneed a dozen more of their fine new ones, and the business goes on increasing. Col. Nuiler, who has had the old omnibus monopoly for fifteen or twenty years, is eclipeed, and the r heckmen sit all day in their boxes at the hotels, with nothing to do, while the omnibuses are constantly picking up passengers under their very noses. ter, howe 1, has no notion of quitting Col. Nailer, hie ground. He hos got im two or three new "busses; but as Rerside follows them up witha "bus before and a bua behind, be does not make much headway. And we understand Nailer isto bring on next week twenty opposition "bosses from Troy. with a determination to hold the field. Andthe heckmen have hed a meeting, and have resolved to subscribe for a line of their own; and thus, like some of the old farhioned newepapers, they are driven to the new system, from sheer necessity. Thia com- petition is exciting a hostile spirit between the par- ties; but as long as the public convenience is served (his hostility is a email matter, provided it does no, Agreed Upon—Intrigues of the Cabinet respecting New Merico, and to defeat the Compromise— Course of the Richmond Times—Resolvé of the Cabinet—The Intelligencer Playing Seeond Fiddle to the Galphimized Republic. The ceucus, last night, of the friends of the Land Bounty Bill, agreed upon the following terms :— 1. To include those in Wayne’s war, and in the last wer with Great Britain. 2 To extend the land bounty to the surviving officers and soldiers, and to the widows of those of them who have died and Irft widows. 3. To give to three mouths’ men forty acres; to the six months’ men, eighty acres; and te the twelve months’ men, one hundred and sixty acres. 4, To include the staff, but not the field officers in the late war with Mexico—the soldiers of that war having already received bounty lands. There were nine field officers in the Mexican war present at the caucus. Hence the reason for the exeaption of that clasa of officers. As legis lators, they could not vote themselves bounty lands. The intrigues of the members of the cabinet to | get the people of New Mexico to torm a State go- vernment, so that the plan of the Compromise Committee may be defeated, and the administra- tion may dodge action on the Wilmot proviso, are developing themselves. It is now whispered among the members of the cabinet and the faithful—from | one of whom, a member of Congress, I learned it, | that they expect to receive, in ten days from this, the State Constitution ot New Mexico, with a de- mand, from the people of that new State, for ad- mission into the Union.

Mr. Hunt rejoined, insisting that his objection wae & legal one—the evidence must be confined to the issue, The question is, whether Gen. Lopes set om foot » military expediti d of Cubs.

He refers to vague expeditions, and it is contended that this commission shall be kept employed in im- uiring into every vague proposition of an expedition that may have been made to the witness. There was some reality in the threat of the prosecution, to keep this cese before it until January.

The fact is, the cabinet ministers are in opposition not only to the people of the country, but to the whig party, and they know it. They will not leave their places until they are kicked out, which they will not be eo long as they can succeed in hoodwinking, misleading and Ppviving—verhees with the connivance with free soil Major W.
