The people of Pittsburgh are all excitement over the Couventiou of Soldiers, that 18 to meet here to-morrow, Tuesday. It will be an important era iu the history of the city and the inhabitants seem to understand it. The preparations that have deem made by the eitizens for the comfort and acoommo- dation of the visiting delegates can hardly be surpassed. Both men and women, and especially the lat ter, seem to have entered heart and sond into the matter. In the first place several thousand soldicrs of the rank and file are here. They, of course, will not be able to incur large hotel bills, Knowing this the citizens have made pro- wislon for their accommodaticn. Public halls have been socured and beds placed in them for such delegates as wish to ocupy them. Each eitizen keeps open house dur- §ug the session -of the Convention and each has arranged to quarter a certain number of delegates who are here. Then there will be large delegations from the nel ing counties of Pennsylvanis, Obio, md Virginia Those bordering on the Ohio River will come down on steamboats, and will have their guar- ters on board while here.

APPEABANCE OF PITTSBURGH. n the way of decorations this city surpasses Philadel- phia, while the Southern Loyalists’ Copvention was as- ‘embled there, The patriotism of the people liere seems 10 be aimost universal. Nearly every building in the city s decorated in some way with flags, evergreens, mottoes, and other emblems of weleome and honor to the soldjers. The Monongabela House, the general headquarters of the | Belegates, is wost elegantly and tastefully decorated tor the oceasion. 8o also are the various newspaper offices and municipal and private buldiogs. In fact, tho only ex- 2eptions to the general rule are the Federal offices ne YThe t-office, custom Louse, and the offices of the U. &, Marshal and Assessor of Internal Revenue are bare. No Jaga or other sigus of welcome to the soldier hang from sheir walls.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS—DESCRIPTION OF TIE GRAND DUKE OF JAESSE-DARMSTADT—UNANIMITY OF THE GERMANS IN OPPOSING FOREIGN INTER- FERENCE—THE RESULTS OF THE WAR. From Our Special Correspondent. ‘Benvis, Sept. 3, 1866, Things are pretty quiet with us here now agatn, and s soon a8 the returniug troops shall have celebrated their trimmpbal entry into Berlin—which is not expected to take place before the 15th of this month—we shall fall deck into the old jog trot, It secms a8 strange to us in Berlin, as I suppose it must have done to you in America after your great war, not to be looking out daily with great eagerness for telegraphic dispatches aunouncing victories wnd defeats. Hitherto the negotistions with Austria and the other German powers have passed off better and more quickly thun most expected. For some timo the atmospbere here was feit to be rather sultry; people did not feel sure of Napoleon; muny feared that ho might insist on getting whut he calls a * com- cnsation,” and begin fighting if it were refused him. o ar, bowever, he has chosen the better part of valor and emained quiet. 1say the better part and so far for the following reasous, - As regards the first: Thero is every reason 1o believe that, sirongly as Southern Germany may islike Prussin and Prussia’'s conduct at the present time, the fear and dislike of France is m stronger; and if France were to attempt 1o appropriate a part of Germany, Germany would uzite to oppose it. It is true such men a8 the Grand Dukeof Hesse-Darmstadt—of whom 1 must now give you a deseniption and un anecdote or two by way of enlivening my otherwise dry letter—may soy that they are lookiug for the *red_trousers”—you know the Frech soldiers wear, at all events 1.1 part, red trousers but the people a8 a whole do not share thess leanings, and in case of danger, would certainly make their will felt.

As I never saw him myself on borse back, 1 canuot siy how he behaves bimself. My private opinion is that tew persons would be inclined 1o risk and Kick with his corpus on their back; _they might lie down, but they would uever get lively, The Grand Duke is sai to devote the powers of Ljs mind to_the profonudly jm- portant subject of uniforms, cocked hats and buttoue, those of WS body to actresses. Iu illustration of the tormer bobby the following wee Lttle facts: The oflicials of every bruach of the public service have two sets of | uniforms—one for common days, the other for great days. The ditinctiovs aro o numerous and free that it takes some time to learn them properly. What o mind must bis be, then, who invented them all; and it was the very own work of this grest ruler!

Fancy the hully-balloo that your Américan boys would kick up if their teachers were to bo seen with cocked hat and raprer! Slander says that these school 1s are sometimes very much put out of coun tenance by their rapiers getting Detween their loge. Th Grand Duke bas & very quick ege, too, for irregularities in the dress of his officials. For'example: an oflicial once appeared before him with one of the buttons off his eont unbuttoned.

The ouly sensible solution would be the complete aunexation, and indeed 1 believe, for my part, that the nitimate design of the forti- fleations which are being raised around Dresden is and has been all along to render the return of King Joln im- possible, that is, morally impossible. For us the Prus- sinns will yndoubtedly iusist on the nght of supplying the new fortress with its garrison and nnbtary commander, the position of the Kiug in Dresden under such circum- stances would be too auomalous, too humilisting, How- ever, we shall see in cours. of tite.
