The Convention that closed ite labors here Last night bad the most singular combiuation of material that over congregated in this “City of Conventions’’ under the call of the repablican party. There was tenfold more in the aseemblage than the public will ever find out from the public proceedings. All that was enacted before the cur- tains was peaceable, harmonious and solemn; but the scencs behind the curtains were not quite so orderly, In the secret gatherings there was not that fear of over- stepping proper decorum, and bitter cursing aud hard } akin to despair. The old war horses of the democracy The squads on the corners of ewearing but indulged in the rtreets, in the barrooms and priate rooms, cave ua- mistakeable evidence of having a determined plan to carry out their plaus ard rules, we a general smash up of all the crockery. In the strects and hotels the whole party was a belligerent as the cemocratic factions, and at one time there was ® fair prospect that there would be @ geveral exhibition of the dirty lien of the party, brought out for the decision of the spectiore as to which needed washing the most. ‘The moment that the delegates assembled in Wieting Mail and the curtain was raised, they ail had a serious and polemn appearance, as though ‘they were about to at- tend a funeral of some ‘friend. A more careful scratiny of their countenances, however, revealed that their long faces were more from’ fear than anything else. Both fac- tions of the Convention—for factions there were—Iabored ag though they were fearful that they were iu a miaority and would be ‘ridden over roughshod by their oppoaents. Agiauce at the list of delegates, especially after all the vacancies were filed by euch men as Nye and other aid- de camps of Weed, was enough to coaviace the most casual observer which way the tide was setting On the first day, owing to the detention of the trains by the storm, ths Groeleyites had everything their own way: but Lord Thurlow arrived about midnight, acd in- stead of shutting himself up in his room and sending his satellites for his men, ‘eloek in th 14 be seen uatil nearly four morning, segar in his mouth, in the ye Hotel, buttonholing thos who came in; his long head proved to be too much for his opponents. He so managed his card that the Greeley party grew weaker every moment, and had the convedtion remained in eeasion another day there would not have beeu a cor- vral's guard left against him. Almost the entire Lagis- [ature and the lobby were on band, and wheeled tat the interest of Weed with a zeal worthy of a more noble cause, This lest the Greeleyiter, even on the outside of the convention, fighting against great olds. There has been a great noise and bluster at the di if hotels about denouncing the Legislature, and oa that sub. ject the wordy warfare has been equal to the contest over the personal quarrel of Greeley and Weed. Tae adherents of Weed have invariably argued that the nomination of Mor- gan effectually repudiated the Legislature, and that to go any farther would on! fact the party. it, Gays a leading radical, the democratic convention met here one week ago and charged the republican party ‘with all manner of corruption, and unless we take deci- Bive action upon the eubject, (t would be looked upon as admitting everything that bad been sald by them. There ‘Was tenfokd more said oa that subject (han any other out. fide of the convention, but it was not broached isside, The great pretensions for honesty all ended in emoke. David Dudiey Field proved bimecif lacking in backbone to stand up as his friends bad expected; Dana was €0 efiectually suubbed that it completely cowed him; the referees who held the stakes in the prize fight between Greeley and Weed decided in favor of the latter, and gave to the leader of the lobby ali the prizes, big aad little. In short, no other interpretation can be put on the proceeding® than a complete triumph of Woed. Th s fact is shown by a glance at its list of electors and Ube State Central Crmmittes The only attempt that was male to denounce the Legisiature, except by outside talk, Was the reading of Dana's budget to the Committee on Re. fol) tows, That committee baving been carefully arranged for ihe emergency, they were smuggled without any cere mony whatever, and we bad a cnanimous and barmoaious All rejoiced that the committee bad, in their search amonget the rubbish and fleshpots of the last Legisiatore, discovered that the democracy were re spoosidle for the nefarious transactions of toat bedy—a glorious discovery, worthy to be recorded in history With the great deeds of the niaetecath century, along- side the Atlantic telegraph.

This is confessed by the more candid republicans, who do pot pretend to disguise the change in the ct produced by the bringing out of the Union Electoral ticket. The most sanguine among them do not now pretend that there is in store for them any such easy victory as they have been claiming, but now admit the contest in the State is to be a severe one between the Union ticket on the one side and the sectional ticket on the other, the result of which is ex- ceedingly doubtfal. The Virginia Breckinridge Convention. OUR CHARLOTTESVILLE CORRESPONDENCE. Cuarorreaviiie, Angust 18, 1860. The Close of the Convention—Sad Prospects for the Democra- cy in Virginia—The Breckinridge Men Still Hopeful— Good Results Looked for from the Canvassing Tour of Hunter, Mason and Wise—A Fight in Christiansburg Be- tween a Member of Congress and a Whig Elector, dc. The adjournment of the Convention from last night until eight o'clock this morning was caused by an uncertainty as to the correctness of the count of the scale vote taken upon the resolution offered by Goy. Smith in relation to the duty of the State electors, should they fail to secure the election of Breckinridge and Lane. The vote having been correctly ascertained, and its result recorded in favor of the resolution, the customary resolutions of thanks to the Presi¢ent, secretaries, citizens, &c., were adopted, and the Convention adjourned sine die is The failure on the part of this and the Staunton Conven- tion to effect anything like a fusion forebodes anything but success te the democracy in Virginia. The prospect ie darker than its worst enemies could desire it, for it may be truly said that the Jast chance for @ fusion has passed. The members of the Charlottesville Convention derived some consolation during the past few days from the guarantees given by delegates from diffe. rent quarters of the State that Breckiuridge could carry Virginia against the combined forees of ‘Douglas and Bell, but essurances to the contrary, given by Douglas men who favored a fusion, have material'y witered the estimates. With this unfavorable change in the prospects of the party has come a feeling of saduess Virginia, who have been actustomed all their lives to look forward to the triumph of their party, actually mourn at the sad reverse in prospect. With a legitimate antagonist they would have no fears, but with the de. fections caused by the traitor Douglas, as they call him, they see no possibility of securing democratic ascendancy in the State or Union. From what I have ascertained this morning, the same unwillingacss to effect a fusion that pervaded the Charlottesville Convention was displayed jp the Staunton Convention. Tae movement in this be- half was originated by one or two in each Convention, but the main body threw every available obstacle in the way of it. The antagonism is’ general and abiding; and the probability is that, in the matual hostility cogen dered, each will form new alliances sooner than yield one to the other. Meanwhile, many look forward with hope to the in. fiuences which will be wronglit by the services & Hunter, Mason, Wise, Smith and Russell, who have been requested by the Convention to take the stump in favor of Breckinridge and lane, This is the last hope, and I do not think the faith of the democracy in the efforts of these distinguished men i ed. If they accept the commissiout aud engag y in the can vass, there is very little doubt bat that the disaster now impending to the democratic party of Virginia will be averted, With a reasoning, intelligent people itke the Vir- isians, the logic of euch men would be all powerful bey have the safety of the party in Virginia tn t id, WK guch a conviction, they will hardly be- » accede to the call of the Charlottesville Goaven The people of Virginiajytara to hear the great tri- heard a gentieman offer to tion bune of the people again. I bet $90,000 that the Ktate would £9 10,000 for Breckin- ridge if Wise canvaseed it. This shows the great conf. dence reposed in the power of Wise over the people. 1 ‘venture to gay that if he does take the stump be will have ‘8 walk over the course as in 1866, for no man in Virginia, however able, would be courage us enough to meet him. He exercises a greater influence over the popular heart than any living man, and hence the great desire to bring him forward at this peculiar crisis. It must, indeed, be a desperate state of things when it is deemed necessary to bring the services of such men as Huuter, Wise and Ma- fon into requisition. A fight took piace at Christiansburg, Montgomery County, in this State, a few days ago, between the Hot. Heary A Edmundson and Waller R. Staples, Exq., a pro. minent lawyer of that county. The parties were eng: in the discussion of some political topic, wleu Mr. mundson gave the lie to Staples, whereupon the latter strack Mr. E.

No farther dii- culty was spprehended, the matter being in a fair way of adjustment through the aid of mutual frience when my informant lef the scene of conflict Mr. Staples is the whig or opposition elector for his electoral district.

Leee with regret that some of our Northern friends, who are by no means aptto be weak kneed, aro yet giving way to acertain degree of misgiving about ‘a united South” for Breckinridge and Lane. There is really no ground at all for such misgiving. It has been produced entirely by the reported results of the elections in North Carolina and Kentucky, These results, unexplained, did, indeed, give a handle to the enemy; buta plain tale will remove al! reasonable ground for despondency from the friends of Breckinridge, and ought to make the temporary exaitation of their opponents disappear like a dream of fancy. ‘The truth is the election of Gov. Filis, in North Carolina, is the very strongest evidence of the strength of Breckin- ridge and Lane in that State. There was a local question that came home to the bosoms and business of men in North Carolina, upon which Ellis would bave been beaten but for the strength which his advocacy of Breckinri and Lane gave him. That question was, whether ri should contipue to be assessed at one dollar ahead, asa poll tax, or whether, like other property, they should be taxed ad valorem. Ii the latter principle were adopted the tax would have been at least two dollars and &fty cents per head.
