Unica, Sept. 11, 1858. ‘The firet hour anda half of the afternoon session was eccupied by Mr. Parker Pillsbury, of Boston, in an anti- ‘slavery speech, in which he twok occasion to indulge in a tirade against the reporters and the prees, on whom he mrove to fasten the responsibility for the features of de- Dauchery and licentiousness in which the Convention was represented. After he had got through, the inevitable German philo- sopher, Herr Schmolinecker , strove to get in his resolutions, Dut he was overruled by the Chair, who announced a song from the Quartet Club. ‘The Dawn of the Good Time Goming”’ was given in good style by the club. Mr. Journ L, Kiva took the stand on bebaif of the press i reply to the denunciations of Mr. Pillsbury. ‘The Cusrmman—Will Mr. King state what press he re- presente? Mr, Kivc—I am a member of the New York press. He said it was well understood that there were two ways of acquiring fame in this country. One was to pursue the of a high and honorabie career, and then, sooner or , he would find the press on his side; the other was to fol- Jow such a cousse as would draw down the condemnation of the re. Mr. Pilisbury had resorted to the latter plan. He had accused the press of a deliberate and intentioual falsification. If there were any one person against which this charge of falsification was true, why did not Mr. Pilis- Dury declare it; and why should he accuse of falsehood men whose character for truth and uprightness would eompare favorably with the speaker. He said that he knew the force of language and denounced the course Mr. —- had pwesued ip the matter as sueaking and cowal . Mr. PRUIABURY said he was there on the platform and ‘wanted to kuow how he acted sneakingly and cowardly. Mr. Kino—Specify, sir, to whom you allude. Mr. Pruzesvry went on to say that he was moved to his Utica also to the New York 5 others of a kindred spirit. But he was willing to give the devil his due, and would not put the Hixatp or Tribune in such bad company as the New York Oteerver. (Laughter.) He bad no hesitation in declaring his belief that, taking these gentlemen—the reporters—out of their business they were as high minded and respectable as could be found; but one of them had said to him in New York, “Aa reporters, you catnot expect us to have principles.”? He had too much buman nature to ask ‘ters for the American pres to have principles. He rat the re- ports were what the pom wanted. Tt was a little ro- markabie, however, that the republican press of this city aud New York wase@ little more outrageous than the demooratic press, bad as that was. He thought the demo- cratic press was the beet argument in favor of the Cal- ‘vinistic doctrine of total depravity ; yet he would do it the Justice to say that their reports were, in the main, not quite #0 bad as those of the republican press. Dr. Hassock, of New York, suggested whether these personai aitercations were not beneath the dignity of the grave matiers which they had come here to discuss. Mr, Prissy appealed to the audience to say that this discussion was not personal. The truthfulness of the pro- ‘of this Convention was nota personal :natter. He stood sere to vindicate the cause of reform against the maiepant atlarks of its mort maliguant foes. ‘Mr. Wsanky Cuase next took the tloor. 110 did not come forward to take any part in the altercation about . He belonged to the press himset’, and istepr of the Convention, their falachood would do themselves iujary, uot the Convention. It seemed tohim that this Convention was called to eny whether any of the alche mists cf the country had found the Patonopber's stone. His clerical brethren had discovered the elixir vite in the atonement, and the origin of evil in the doctrine oi total de- pravity, and had endeavored to preveut further search as to the origin or cave of evil; but it,was an entire failure as acure, and the origin bus long since proved to be diderent from that which they ascribe it to. His brother Foster, ‘who dissected everything, not with the lancet or with the dissecting knife, but with the saw, had discovered the origin of evil in ‘slavery. He did not know that Foster would send tho slaveolders to hell, but he would at least send to heaven the slaves until they would fix up rn aa ith; ed Hy 2 i rr | i if E ii Left rf if 3 i i t & Hi umm 3 ilrlrat is = eT at i Htlee: Ekest gtict ee il i aseeies gr eices ai himself to show why it wat he seconded and favor of this resolution.

Here were numerous and important questions before the Convention and was See ceheeen at hoars to this important subject and leave all bickerings about per sons and newspapers out of the question ? Mr. Srerums 8. Foerer was sorry that the last speaker ‘understood him as saying that slavery was the origin of evil. So far from that he had always rogarted the or) gin of evil as far above and beyond the possibility of our oom) jon, and, therefore, had never spent a moment in pursuit of it, He bad never spent » moment in pursait of the origin of cold, though he had spent days in expel ing it from his parlor.

So he went on le of words, to the considerable annoy ance of the audience. He confeesed himself the most re man he had ever bad to deal with, That was a sentiment in which, if in no other, the audience com- ly agreed with him. He defended the course of Mr. git lisbury in regard to the press; for what, he asked, was the aS the Convention tut to elevate and refine purify the public mind? But how could they do so if they ere always maligned and misre ed? He hed had ersation ‘morn a blic officer is Gity, and he found that he Je the Convention by the description given of it by the Utica Morning Herald, as follows:— About elee they talk at random to MORNING EDITION—MONDAY, S Any ‘that overlooks that great damnable must prove abor- tive.

The reading. of these incendiary resolutions did not elicit a single manifestation of sympathy from the Convention except a fervent ‘“‘amen’’ from 4 half-crazed philosopher known as Father Lowell. Mrs. Burr, of St. Louis—the same who spoke in the morning—was again introduced to the audience, and took ‘up the cudgels for the South and for the press. She said that some weeks ago she had seen on the broad prairies of Dinos alarge circular, calling this Convention together to overcome evil with good; and she bad come here to iden- tify her spirit with that of the Convention. But she feared this afternoon that the glow of fraternal love had not spread over her brethren. She had been a resident of a slave State for fifteen years, and she knew well that the spirit of fraternal love was as ready to gush out of the souls of ber Southern friends as out of those of the white faces of the North. (Applause.) She had school of human experience, and had learned nal love is superior to the rod. Then let them not thrust out their Southern brothers, but proceed, in the spirit of the call, to overcome evil with good. (Applause. If the reporters had misrepresented them why di they? She believed that not a pole a repor- ters’ table had written a single falsehood, but written of them as they had im them. Why then had they not made a more favorable impression? She had had her name identified with free love; but let her tell them that she never believed or practised it: she avowed herself a monogamist. She well remembered when she heard Dr. Hallock lecture on physiology to the ladies in St. Louis. She blushed as she heard him, and though she was the wife of a physician, she herself went home and told her husband that the doctor ought to be drummed out of the city; that he must be a bad man to talk of such as he did. Subsequently, when she learned spiritualism, sho ized that the fault was in herself, Let them appeal to spirit of benevolence in regard to the question of slavery. (Applause.) Were the sons and daughters of the South the originators of slavery? No: they were the heirs of it. As she came to this hall faces of poor calldren picking rags ‘out of tho gutter 8 of poor rags out @ gutters. Was she to go into the stores of the merchants ind de- mand of them to divide their property with the poor?

Morality bad been taught us as a neccessary act towards God; but when we acted truthfully for the ‘love of truth, and righteously for the love of righteousness, then true morality would be introduced on earth, and fraternal love would flourish, Mr. Tooury, of New York, rove to present a series of re- solutions on the subject of matrimony. He read them as follows— Whereas, we, the members of the Philanthropic Convention, Wing Nstnes to the soul harrowing detalle cobsoquent tothe discussion of the marriage 3 marriage, in ‘one form or another, is associated with the present and pros- pective interests of society; therefore, Resolved, That so long as we have not facts and information Imuch less to authorize a final eonclusion on the sub- Jeet, that we recommend the discussion of marriage, ita facts ‘and’ fundamental principles, and invite practical action, that kindred conventions may learn to construct the divine by which the sacred conviction and vidual will be harmonized with ler. ord Resolved, That while we each individual to final intes bingy phy ~ hs snd stapietin tg ee bat w Hed fe, thas we recommend wo reformers every where the ne cesnity Of m my a vores a branch of the Cote Matritaotlal and « panetical part of comacn ow Mr. Scumouweoken, who had kept remarkably quiet all day, thought that now there was a chance for him, and so his well known voice was heard from the middle of the hall, saying that he would now read his resolutions, The audience was tickled, and several called out to him to go on. The Prewinest (snuffing him out) told him to wait a mo. ment—that he was not in order. ‘Mr. ScUMOLLNECKER—I understood you to say to me go on. ‘The Prxupent—No; it was some other persons. dias me (sinking upon his seat)—Ob! r. The Cuaikanan wished to make a few remarke. Ho said that persons making speeches and offering resolutions here should be held personally responsible for the sentiments fo expreseed, and he suggested that such resolutions should be offered on the responsibility of the movers, and let every person present decide for himself or bereeif whether such pens met with their concurrence or disap. val. ag Hasaxck said that the Chairman had anticipated What he was about to suggest. Let every one from the platform of his own sincerity and consciousness come here and express his thought, and let that be a thought on which the convention can ponder, not endorse by a sud- den inconsiderate vou. Mr. Toousy wanted his resolutions to go forth, not as his dizxit, but as the endorsement of the Convention. He uld like to have the sense of the Convention tested. ‘The Cuamman thought it would be anwise to do so, Mr. Putencey asked if it were not first necessary to have a roll of the Convention taken, ‘So thought the Chairman; and the difficulty was felt by talking. ‘The Cuarrmax would remind Mr. Toobey that his resolu- tions contained matter for rerious: and reflection; it would not be one way or Convention acted on the resolutions. Mr. Toomxy insisted on the resolutions being put. Mr. Pucme moved to lay them on the table; were tabled.

He hoped that all here ‘would meet to-morrow, becunge to-day was only conse- crated to freedom, while to-morrow would be consecrated vo humanity. Mr. A. J. Davis explained that the Business Committeo had adopted a course with regard to resolutions which would be an example for other conventions, and was oes io Deve seaniaiins pees by the Convention.

He thanke | the audience for the charity which permitted thoughts t> be expressed here that were at variance with all the feel ings and predilections of their nature, Mr. Burtis had no business to accuse Mr. Corey of evil.

Mies hey ter) gave the song, and the Convention took a recess till balf-past geven o'clock, EVENING SESSION. Mrs. A. J, Davis, at the opening of the seasion, deliver ed an address, which was much applauded, The subjec was, “Woman the great artist.’” ‘4 WILTED ORATOR. Dr. Wonverwazrton, of Canada, was next introduced to the audience and attempted to make a speech, but he failed, wilted, and fell to the rear, ‘THE PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE RACE. Dr. Crank, of Auburn, had seen many spiritualists here, and be had been waiting to have some of them discuss the origin and cure of evil. In the central part of this State they would not hear the end of this convention for twelve months. People would say to them ‘you've had a convention at Utica; but what did you find out?’ y would take such God-defying sentiments as were expressed by Wright and Pillsbury and Foster, and some of the spiritualiste ran the risk of being knocked down on account of their speeches. ‘itualists would be held responsible for them. Now, he ht that Foster and these other fellows might preserve their thunder for some other time and let the spiritualist be heard. (Applause). He alluded contemptuously to those sentiments expressed here about and the physical improvement of the race, and ridiculed the idea. He ht there was danger of their becoming too mecharrical morbid about this thing, and engendering imaginations that may tend to corruption. ¢ CHATRMAN called the speaker to order, as he had no right to criticise other ers. . CLARK submitted he had, and so thought tho Convention, and applauded the Doctor, and told him to go en. And he went on and pitched into the Utica reformers in refreshing style. He was inclined to think that the idea of abolishing evil was about as preposterous as would be an attempt to abolish cold or darkness. If they would abolish these they would have to seek some other ephere. (Almost the only sensible thing said in the Convention.) 4 SPIRITUALIST ON THE STAND. Mrs. Burr, of St. Louis, took the floor for the thira time to-day, and made a sensible, philosophical and forcible ad- dress, inculcating charity and fraternal love, and speaking sneeringly of the improved generation of the race. If men and women were to be unmarried and to have a chance of bipeve> # new selections, she said they would make as bad matches as they had already made. (Laugh- ter and applause.) Passing off to the question of epiritual- iem, ehe said that bad it not been for the interposition of spirits, she would not have been here addressing the au- dience before her, but would have been at home probably rocking the cradje, She would prescribe as her cure for evil the cultivation of the spirit. If they would labor ear- nestly they would within ten years witness a rich harvest for the cultivation of man’s spirit. She was conscious that all human beings were not immortal; that mind did not necessarily convey immortality; but there were enough of men and women immortal. Mrs. Butt was much applauded throughout her re- marks, and when her period of twenty minutes expired the audience unanimously voted to allow her to od as Jong as she chose. Individual merit, she said, was the only law by which we ought to be governed. The great object which she felt had t be overcome was the conven- tionalism of society. She did not care what odium was pinned to her garments by public opinion; she would live down all by her purity and honesty of purpose. In thi course of her specch she said that the phenomena of spi itvalism were passing away. She wound up with a beau- tiful peroration, which so affected Futher Howell that he started from his chair, threw back his gray locks, and cried out in ecstacy, ‘Come, angels,come. I'm bere now, and let the angele come.” After the song ‘There is a place in dhood that I re- member well,” the convention adjourned til] Sunday morn. ing, at nine o'clock. Our Utah Correspondence.

It was in midwinter when the shivering remains of a fragile, diminutive person, conveyed by a Mormouic escort from the frontiers of Cali- fornia, arrived in Salt Lake City, He was received with the most affectionate concern, was delicately con- veyed to the best quarters in the city, the prompt phy- sician tendered his skilful services, and a faithful nurse watched over him with the tenderest of anxious care; everything was done that could be done ; restoratives were administered; he was put to bed, and his name was Dr. Osborne. To the infinite joy of his solicitous attendants he fell into a sound sleep, and they began to indulge the str assurance of his ‘ely recovery. Nor were they disappointed, for that night witnessed one of the reatest miracles ever known in Brighamite Mormonism. ¢ perishing, dying Dr. Osborne whom Sor put to bed that night arose next morning well and hearty, and mysteriously transformed inwo Col. Kane, and so perfect was the transformation that no doubt was ever entertained of his real identity. It truly was the veritable Colonel Kane, and as such he was afterward re- cognized in the army by all who had known the Colonel in Philadelphia, All necessary preparations being now com. pleted, the Colonel was formally introduced to Brigham, and such a meeting perhaps has never occurred since the days of Jonathan and David. The formalities of court eti- quette ceased the instant they met. They fell into each other's embrace, and mutually kissed with all the ardor of undying affection; and scarcely had the power of arti- culation returned after the ebullitions of speech love, when in breathless accents they exchanged assurances of eternal friendship. All this, and a great deal about bap- tiem and endowments, &c., are well known in Utah, and were matters of amusing gossip in the Mormon metropolis during the short stay of the gallant gentleman in the city. But how they held wise council together, and what they each said when closeted together hour after hour and day after day, is best known to themselves.

Thev fought with pistols at ten paces, and exchanzéd four shots, the last of which took effect, Clemens having had his thigh broken, Wise received no wound, At the close of each shot every effort was made by mutual friends to adjust the matter, but without effbct, the origin of the difficulty being of a character which ad mitted of no compromise short of retraction, and that was impossible, The diffloulty grew out of a letter adddressed by Mr. Clemens to the Enquirer, stating authoritatively that Judge Brockenbrough, whose name had beep prominently mentioned in connection with the next Governorship, was not a candidate for that position, and would not accept the nomination, even if tendered to him, This the Judge denied, ina letter to the same paper, and asserted that the con- versation which he had with Mr, Clemens upon the subject amounted merely to an assurance that he considered the office too high either to be cought for or refuged, adding that if it were the pleasure of the Conven- tion to honor him with the nomination he would feel bound ‘wo accept. Accompanying the publication of this letter in the Bn- quirer, was an editorial article threatening in the event of Mr. Clemens’ failing to clear himectf of the suspicions of improper motives which attached to him in this matter, to denounce him ‘‘until the retribution of treachery sbould ring through every nerve of his body.”’ Mr. Clemens, on seeing Judge Brockenbrough’s contradiction, addressed a him a note, asking whether he deemed him guilty of any corrupt motive in representing bim as declining the use of his name in connection with the contest for the Governor- ship. To this the Judge gave a negative reply, meanwhile asserting that this representation was not justified by any statement of his made in the course of their interview. He attributed it to his impulsiveness or inordinate zcal in behalf of some friendly rival for that office. ‘The Enquirer was not satisfied with this exculpation on the part of the Judge, which it attributed rather to charity than a conviction of his innocence of any improper mo- tives, and accordingly it dealt out the threatened denun- ciation in am article in its issue of Monday lust, which wound up as followe:— Sherard Clemens is guilty of an act of gross treachery towards Judge Brockenbrough, perpetrated under the guise of personal and pelitical friendship; he Is guilty of an act of political trickery, intended to enure to the bene- fit of some political aspirant, for the accomplishment of which be has not failud to resort to public and wilful yois- representation; he has betrayed the confidence of the edi- tor of the Enquirer, and abdsed the columns of the paper by requesting and ‘obtaining the insertion of these same wilful misrepresentations, This it was which constituted the immediate cause of the difficulty that terminated #0 unhappily thie morning. I am informed that both the principals cordially shook bands at the close of the difficulty. Mr. Clemens’ wound is not a dangerous one, though ex ceedingly painful. There were reports through the city to-day that the fracture is a compound one, but subse- quent inquiry enabled me to ascertain that such was not the case, It is a simple fracture, located about the middle of the thigh, and not dangerous. Gov, Wise heard nothing of the occurrence until long after the parties bad returned from the dueiling ground, He ig said to have grieved much at it. ‘Serious apprehensions are entertained of a diflculty be- tween the Hon. Wm. 8. Yancey and Mr. Pryor of the South, growing out of a letter recently written by the lat- ter in reply to a letter addressed to him by the former, on the subject of the “Southern League.” Either & challeuge or @ violent retort would seem jnevitable. Thus do matters progress here; nor ia it probable that this excitement will abate much until the gubernatorial nomination takes place. And then will follow the Presi dential campaign, which is likely to prove a no lees active cause of excitement. For all this we are indebted to the ittle clique who, three years ago,from motives of jeal ‘ousy , inaugurated a policy of intrigue against Gov. Wise. Searcely had he taken his seat in the gubernatorial chair when he became an object of intrigue and jealoury to the ittle band of adventurers who dwcovered in his great victory, in 1855, the germ of an overshadowing —- ikely to prove detrimental to the prospects of their peca- liar favorite for the Presidency, Lam perfectly familia with this whole movement from its start.

SPRINGHELD, Sept. 18, 1868. Exyloitsof Rarey with a Wild Col—The Banquet a Failure The Tiles Poor—The Speeches, dic., de. Yesterday's show was quite successful. The day waa dazulingly bright and refreshingly cool, favorable in ail respects to man and beast. The tents were all up again, the track was rolled and worked smooth, the grand stand was crowded with ladies, and even that of the musicians was filled with spectators. Seven thousand dollars were taken at the ticket offices and gates, and at this rate thera must have been more than twenty thousand people on the ground during the various bours of exhibition. To the uninitiated the programme of one day is almont a fag simile of another, The judges mount to their station, the band takes its place, the marshals in gray, well mounted and good horsemen in the bargain, ride about the fleld and along the tracks, giving their directions and keeping the crowd and the contestants in good bamored aub- jection. The great cast steel bell rings (itself a novelty) and the great cavalcade of horses and carriages enters, four or five hundred strong, and passes slowly around, ‘The spectators look on with various emotions, Some recognise @ famous horse, and exclaim, “ There gooe Etban Allen,” or the “Lone Star,’ or some such favorite, Others perceive some well known private establishment, and a friend driving; others again are mightily pleased to see a lady driving her husband, who sits all composed, looking about at those who are looking at him. During this procession the band docs ite best to animate the scene by the liveliest of its polkas, At each hour of the day thereafter, sccording to the printed announcement, with an vuterval for dinner of an hour, the various classeg of animals are brought up tw the judges’ stand, led or driven around the course to be seen by the spectators, and finally made to show their speed, After this they are taken back to the stables, and another class appeare in their pines. But it is far from being tiresome. The stand and the grounds are continually full, and even the ladies sit = or Ls hours on @ stretch without com; _ ing of fatigue. re was nothing yesterday out 4 routine but another exploit or twoof Rarey, the horse tamer. I was invited w be it by the managers, but declined, not wishing to be the depository of any secret, which I coukl not beneficially disclowe to my particular and contidential friends, the r rs of the Hanaup., What I did see they shall know and it was this, A colt was brought on which no oue would ride, because they could'nt. he performed such ungentlemaniy tricks with his ped teeth that most persons did not like to make hig acquaintance. With my own eyes I saw him kick, plunge, and finally tumbie himself heels over head apon his back, by way of showing us what a rider yo gee him. He was taken into the tent, and in half an bour he was brought out led by astraw, mounted by Mr. Rare: ridden pitty Lary Wy by ko ny oa, os tamer standing upright‘on e a speech was livered to the audience, One bundred and ifty dollars were rane over to this Fagg ho pa soe an secret ere is any, is pretty well kept at present, itis a curious fact that the various. methods which bave been practised for the last hundred yeare, from the time of Irish Sullivan, who professed to tame horses by whis- pering in their ear the preseut day have apparently died out and been fe ten with their authors. Rarey is coming to New York in a few days, apd will go regularly into the business. What was designed as the chief feature for Friday, how- ever, was the Senge, so called. This came off at the City Hall, which is admirably adapted to public purposes of all kinds. It was, however, no great affair, if wo may compare it with the spreads which are given im New York on sitilar occasions, There were long tables set, on which here and there wus a dis- sected chicken, a slice of ham or tongue, a lit- tle bread, and now and then some celery, the beet Lae Pied of = japomy Be J be goed i 1 mae with handkes.

The tables were only about half filled, and this was auother mistake. A great num- ber of persons who had been specially invited to attend ag guerts were obliged to pay for their tickets, “which they didn’t,” and staid away. The Judges were also neglectod after their hard services, and, in vhort, the affair was a failure in a culinary and hospitable point of view.

Stailions—The Winding up Banquet, @¢., de. Friday, the third day of the exhibition, substituted for Thureday, the inclement, vehered in aclear sky and beau- ful atmosphere for the continuance of the programme. The grounds were filed with thousands, and the graod etand presented ap array of femimine beauty ‘ar eupass- ing any other attendance. Refore the actual business of the day waa taken ap Rarey, the horse tamer, gave another exhibition of his art in the President's tent, at which there were some twenty or thirty persons present, including several ladies, who were expected to keep the searet, His subject on this occasion waa a mock specimen of colt, quiet and tractable in most respects, but, contrary ta the laws of natare in horses, addicted to the crawdat: style of locomotion—going backward when persuaded to go forward, making it uncomfortable for the rider or driver, unless in @ reversed position on ite back, or hitched to its head and shoulders, This was an unfortunate subject for the “Profeesor,” opow which he illustrated some of the principles of hiv system, but could not produce an entirely satiefactory conclusion upon the witnesses. Indeed, Mr. Rarey has not bad a fair opportunity to be judged at this exhibition, baving bad no thoroughly vicious animal under bis hands upon which be could prove tho infallible success of his process; and al- though it wonld be unfair to decide against him without, sufficient trial, our unqualified eudorsation, as yet, would be, to say the least, premature.
