The Press is Jarzely represented, one hundred and sixty applicaticns baving been made for reporter’s desks. The Conven jon sesemnies a: 12 0’ clock. ‘The Bu banan men are very confident this morning. Fach of the contesting delegations from New York have pamphle's in circulation urging their respective claims. ‘The softs and bards have deen in caucus all the morning. Dean Ricbmord ls:ael T. Hatch, and other leaders of the softs advocate perfect silence, nn'il after the meeting of the Ccnvention, bo h as to the choice and resolutions of their delegations. The hurds are outspoken in favor of Mr. Buchanan, and bave reas outths resolutions of their State Conventicn, with the preamble annexed, which is as follows:— To the erd tha! there may be no mistake in the minds of any Ot the delegates to the Autious’ Democratic Uonvention in re ‘ard to our so)it'cal prin ‘ipies hereio ore held, now held, and reefer to be held and acted sen, both bere aad within our own Btate, ervecia'!y fh the repudiation by this delegation of en* sympethy for cr connection with Know Nothingism, 60 called, freeroliiem oF apy other poi'ti al ixm—therefore, &e. On motion of Jao, A.

F, Buvor, czairman. On a teat vote the dele- gation was found, Pierce 17; Buchanan 9. Eveu bets are oTered on Buchansn’s nomination, He is regarded as inevi abie. Tennessee has bargained its vote for the Vies Presidency for Gov. Brown; Misvisalpp! offered the same for Quitmsa, bat it was too late. The Douglas men refuse to witndraw him. Bachaman gets nine votes from Massachusetts. Indiana votes sure for Buchanan, much to the disgust of ILinvis, MEETING OF THE CONVENTION. Ate quarter before 12 c’clook carnon were fired, as 6 signal for the assemoling of the Convention, At 12 o’clock preciceiy the assemblage was called to order by Roser McLays, of Md. ‘Mr. Ricearpson, of Il., nomina‘ed Samuel Medary, of Ohio, for temporary chairman. Carried unanimously. ‘Mc, Hatt, of Mass., cailed for the reading of the call for the Convention. While the call was teirg read by Mr. English, of India- DS, 6 sudden uproar arose at the door of the hall, and a crowd rushed into the room, fighting and wrangling in the direst confusion. This crowd proved to be the Br ton delegation from Missouri, re-olved to foree an 61 wance by violence. They kaccked down the doorkeoper ‘and rushed in, headed by ex-Governor Prise. For a few minutes s scene ot confasion impossible to describe ensued. Members jumped upon their chairs, and it neemed as though a serious riot was about to take Place. After a while, bowever, quiet was restored and the readmg of the call proceeced with. Mr. McLayz, of Md., stated that when the credentials of the Missouri delegates were presented, the Committee of Arrangements gave tickets of admission to the dele- geticn which presented prima facie evidenee of thelr regular election, snd refusec them to others, New York also appeared with two sets; but as the committee could not decide which set was en‘itied to admission, they de- clined to give tickets to either unless they arranged among themselves, as was done in the case of the Missis- sippi Celegation. Both delegations from New York now awaited admiscion. ‘Sam. Mepagy, on taking the chair, returned thanks for the honor done him. He said he had attended every de- momptic Convention since tne first that nominated Jack- op, and had the honor to be a member of that which nominated Franklin Pierce, He commen‘ed on the pro- reas of democracy ani its ¢x:ended influence, aud be- Heved that occarioual storms in the were calcu- lated to purify the atmorp.ere. He thought that they ‘were Cesved to triumph, d-spite temporary qaarreis. ‘The Rev, Mr. Nicnorsos, of Cinciomati. was then intro. duced, and deliverec » prayer, af er whien Movers. Alex B.

The atreeta in the vici- nity of the hall where the Convention is he'd were crowded before noon, and the shops displayed fisgs of all Cimensions. The day was fine—thermometer 85, The excitement amovg the outsiders was iatense, At nuom the doors were opened, and » national salute was fired in Market square, from the Empire Clubeannoa. The hall is docerated with wreaths of roses and evergreens, and portraits of democratic her-es. Mr. Engliah, of Ind., read the call, which was {nter- rupted by a tremendous roar, Tae Benton delegates from Missouri knocked down the doorkee and forced their way into the hall. ficketa had been is sued to the suti-Benton party. The Bentonists made a forcible entry amid cries of “Shame,” ‘Pat them out,’’ and great confusion, ‘The delegates were frighte and ran from their seats. Three or four delegates jumped upon the cbairs, and one of the Missourians drew a revolver, but cid not fire. There was an im- mense panic; but quiet was soon restored through the efforts of some of the Empire Ciub, who protected the doorkeeper. The ins\de doorkeeper showed fight, and knocked down one of the Missourians, who swore they would go over his dead bedy. The doorkeeper rejvined, “[ bavegot two boys, one named Stephen A. Douglas, and I will be d——dif you shall go ovar my body.” He was, however, overwhelmed by numbers. ‘This little episode was followed by a very long pr No New York delegates were admitted, but Captain Rynders was on the platform, and some of the softs had lookonts in the galleries. After the prayer there was a calm until the State of Misstesippi was called to present » member of the Cre- dential Committee, when Mr. Ha'l, a Benton delegate, demanded that his delegation should havea show. Mr, Richardson, cf Ilinois, pitched inve the Benton men who had forced their way into the Convention. They were not entitled to the siightest consideration, The Conven- tion should protect itself by inviting them to reiire, (Loud applause.) The Chair said he could not recognize the persons who hhad,torced their way into the Ccmventlor, Cries of “Good,” and applause. Mr. Hall again tried to get the floor, but was choked off by cries of “ Order,” “Go ont,’” “ Cut loose.” Here the delegate who drew the revolver (ex-Governor Price) eaid, ‘‘We bow cheerfully to the decision of the Convention.” The Bentom delegation then withdrew, amid loud applause. The appointment of working com- mittees was then proceeded with, New York and Missouri being lett out of the ring. Wisconsin and Comnecticut have resolved to support the New York bards aud reject the softs. Both delega- fons will have seats till the report of the Credential Committee is made. There was a little breeze when the question wae put op tabling a resolution to appoint a committee on reso. utions. The Chair and Mr. Hibbard, of New Hampshire, hadaclash. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, called for a vote by States, and Mr. Griswold, of the same State, said Massachusetts did not want anything of the kind. But- ‘er prevailed, however, and the Chair ‘‘caved in” to Hibbard. Then, afier an unsuccessful atiempt to rfng in the ladies in the gallery, the democracy, in @ very Dad = ee till to-morrow morning. was rather noisy, and does not look well for harmony. Tom Benten is here, and pronounced this moraing in favor of Bachanan. He says that all the troubie in the country nas been made by Pierce and Douglas, and that Buchanan is the only man that can se\tle the sestional Saee Betting wo-day iseven on Buchanao against eld. The crags from Massachuseta mot this morning, and cecided to cast their votes notasa unit, Tae Pierce men have a ry Bachenan will bave nice vows on the first baliot. Pierce wili get the remainder. The Kentucky delegation are also divided between ae ee Douglas and Pierce; they will not vote as a unit. The committee on credentials, one from each State, are supposed to be favorab'e to the softs, The Ni Yorkers immediately at:er the adjournment retired from the Hall and I understand are now hav‘ng s very animated and exciting debate—both bards and softs seem to ve in good spirits. The course pursued by the Benton men from Missouri, in torcing their way into the Convention, mill operate unfavorably to them. No one seemed to approve their course—-thoy will be rejected. They are acung under the acvive oi !lr. Benton, who is now here. Amsjori:y of the Convention are ia favor of adopting the plactorm before they make a nomination. This movement was erggesied by th ashanan men, as it ‘wes thought that 1t would operaie favoraoly for bit. Tne Douglas men decidea this morcing not to with draw him from the field, They are going to stand by him to the last. Col. Orr, who seemed to be the unanimous choice of the Conv for Chairman, has noi yet arrived—there- fore, they elect a ne man. ‘The Buehavan men to-day are Ty sanguine of suc- THE LATEST. Ten o’Ctock P, M. The Committee on Credentials have just decided against Benton's faction. A row is antleipaced to mor- row, a6 an attempt will be made by them to force their way into the Convention, The New Yor softs are dis- posed to compromise, but the harde contend that they are the only true representatives of ‘he democratic party, and refuse.

It is with pleasure, amid the hurry and bustle of arrivals and departures of the many passengers who crowd once more the streets of this little village, that lam again enabled to communicate the movementa and passing events which are daily transpiring in our midst. At last—and for the first time for some five or six weeks—we have had a steamer, with passengers and mail matter, from California, The steamship Sierra Nevada, with some six hundred passengers andeixty recruits for ‘our army—having first put into Realejo, o be assured of her safety in landing passengers and troops at San Juan del Sur—arrived at last, amid the joyful acclamations of the garrison and American citizens at that port, and are now in little squads perambulating our streets, and crowding our hotels, in search of refreshment, potative and otherwise, for the inner man. Having been recently on a short farlough to Granada, I returned to this town last evening on the steamer La Virgen, having on board the passengers for California, who arrived some time bsok from New York on the steamer Orizaba. They have suf- fered severely, I am sorry to say, from the acclima- tory fever of the country, or calenture, as it ia here called, and have also hud many deaths from cholera, caused principally by indiscretion in the use of tropical fruits and native liquor; but although many of them are still weak, yet the greater number are convalescent, and when once breathing the balmy and invigorating breezes of the Pacific, will no doubt be restored to perfect health. The troops who recently arrived from New Or- leans and New York are now armed, and form the garrison at Granada, under the command of General Fry. They are iu tolerably good health, and are daily improving in the drill and discipline ee requisite in the varied materiel of a volun teer army. It pains me here to record the death of one of their bravest and most promis- ing officers, Capt. James Walker, a brother of the General's, of fever. After being seized with this fatal malady, he was at removed to Massaya, a town noted for its healthy climate and the purity of ita air, situated some twelve miles from Granada; but, alas too late!fhe fell beneath the inroads of the fierce malady that had marked him for its prey, and thus Tennessee lost a son of whom she may be proud, and his comrades a brave and true hearted companion in arms. Our light infantry battalion are atationed af Virgin Bay, which is also the headquarters of the army, under command of Colonel Markham, recent- ly promoted, and who was severely wounded during the late action at Rivas, a most excellent officer and estimable man. It is also at present the residence of General Walker and Brigadier-General Hornsby, commanding the department of Rivas, of which thia town forms a portion. The rifle battalion are sta- tioned at San Juan del Sur, under the command of Colonel Sanders at present, but there is a rumor of their removal shortly to Realejo for the rainy season: Thus you will perceive that this little overland road of twelve miles in length is well protecied against aggression from an evemy, and securely, and, L eae ee censny opened for inter-oceani¢ commu: ication, The rainy geagon has just commenced, with its varied hours of shower and sunshine, and which will at least ensure one happy issue—the raising of the water in the San Juauriver, and the speedy passage of the steamers that navigate it.

Some of the rincipal native inhabitants of Granada have also been under arrest under suspicion gee ation in the acta of these semi-guerrillas, nt results—those [Bae guilty being heavily fined, but where proof a8 failed to attach treason, instant dismissal. But in one or two more serious cases we have had more serious results—as, for example, some need who were recently taken on the island of Omotapa, having been proved to have been concerned in the murder of some American refugees, from the in- vading army of Costa Rica, after a fair investiga. tion, were hung, in the presence of the whole army. The beige of Costa Rica, in their hurried retreat from San Juan del Sur, have suffered horribly from the merciless ravages of the cholera; from almost every village throu, h which they have sed, at least in the province of Bona Casta, the Tanabe tants have precipitately evacuated thelr houses and their homes, in abject fear of this more hor- rible and desolating in its effects than even war it- self, This we have from prisoners brought in, and sy be relied on as correc mining company arrived on the last steamer with a quartz and all the ne working tools for a trip to the district of Chont and a portion of its members, who have for the last two wecks been out prospecting in the mountain Lied Medes and have every confidence {o their ultimate success and prosperity.
