The 3lacon Convention* The necessity of affording eur readers an ac count of the events of this vast assemblage, im poses on us a duty which far outstrips our powers of delineation, nor is it in the power of language to convey 10 those who were net present, any just od proper conception of it, it required to be seen to appreciate it in all its greatness. At-an'early hour on Wednesday, as our readers have already been apprised, the delegates began to make their advent into this hospitable and noble ciiy, and long ere night closed upon it, the city a»d every avenue to it, for miles were crowded with the of the land, forming such a mass as v/e have never before seen,, and as has never been (- witnessed South of Baltimore And or. Thursday, ' up to a late hour in the day, “ the cry was still they come.” We have heard much of the gran deur and sublimity of s«eh scenes, but we confess ourself an entire stranger to the imposing character of such a scene, until we saw Macon in all her splendor, during the memorable three days of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The proces sions, the beauty and splendor of the flags ami banners, the enthusiasm of the people, and the swelling strains of music as they united with the shouts of thousands of freemen, all animated and cheered by the thousands of blight eyes, rosy cheeks, and approving smiles of the gentler sex, who ever and anon waved their handkerchiefs from almost every window, in token of their kind approbation, all combined to render it the most grand and imposing scene we have ever beheld. It was in truth a glorious occasion for Georgia, and long will it be remembered by the advocates of Referm, as forming one of the brightest eras in her history. The events of Wednesday, although thrilling in a very high degree, dwindle into com parative insignificance with those of Thursday. In the afternoon of Wednesday many delegations reached the city, which were received and march ed through amid the shouts of thousands, only three of which we propose mentioning here, as being th? m st soul-stirring events of that day. The Troup Delegation was large and highly res pectable, composed of the Yeomanyof the county, in the procession was a beautiful Log Cabin drawn on wneels, which with the size of the Delegation, and the thrilling banner, (which we shall notice in its place,) which waved over them,create I quite a sensation. After them came the Muscogee Delegation, which was also very large, respectable and enthusiastic. They toe, had bibught forth that imposing emblem a Log Cabin,-and had manifested a high order of »taste in tlie selection of their flags. lljNext came tire Houston Delegation, numbering five hundred-es the hardy Yeomanry of that fertile County. This procession was preceeded by a large Log Cabin, decorated as was the others, with various skins, and had mounted on its top one of the stoutest and sturdiest looking Blacksmiths we have seen this many a day, who appeared to have come directly from his anvil to bear aloft in the air her beautiful flag, all which produced a most-thrill ing outburst of feeling, and thus passed the day until night. Thursday, soon after breakfast, the immense mass, which was variously estimated from 12 to IS,OO0 -of the hardy sons of Georgia, commenced moving in processions to the place appointed for the assemblingof the Convention; but it was soon perceived that it was impossible to form a grand civic procession in so short a time, and hence its organization was reserved until they should move to the dinner table. When the precession had reached the very large warehouse, and had gained an entrance for as man} as it was possible to crowd themselves into its spacious walls, the immense body was called to order by Gen. Beall,-and after the throne of grace was most fervently appealed to by the Rev. George F. Pierce, President of the Georgia Fenale College, the Convention unani mously called the Hon. John M. Berrien to preside over its deliberations, and appointed Messrs. T. N. Beall, S. B. Blake, 8. M. Strong, J. G. Gresham and J. H. Steele, Secretaries. The Convention was then called to order by the President, who deliver ed a most powerful and effective speech, and con cluded by introducing to the Convention the Hon. W.C. Preston, of S. C., which was received amid the most deafening applause from every poit>on of the multitude. Os this masterly production from the distinguished ..and worthy descendant of Pat rick Henry, we will not insult the good sense of our readers by attempting any description. a description of the powers of such a man is be yond the power of language. There is an elo quence in his very look, gesture, and even his po sition, which defies description. He held the im mense concourse in almost breathless silence, as for as he.could be heard, for near two hours, when he. concluded for dinner. Then it was that the most grand and sublime scene that our eyes ever beheld, was presented to our view, in the grand procession which was form ed to repair to the dinner table. .

There were delegates in atten dance, in addition to those whose banners we ha\« sketched, from the counties of Elbert, Madison, Hall, Lee, Baker, Jones, Jefferson, Walton, Pulas ki, Randolph, Effingham, Liberty. Mclntosh, Ear ly,Cobb, \V alker, Dooly, De Kalb, Gwinnett, Tali aferro, Heard and Scriven, that we know of, and there may have been others. The portion of the delegates from these counties we could not de signate as they had no banners, and we may have fallen into some errors in the precise position of other delegations, that is however not material. THE dinner. The grand procession marched amid the deafen ing shouts of an enthusiastic multitude, the smiles and waving of handkerchiefs of the fair and beau tiful, to the dinner table, which far surpassed in the extent of the entertainment any thing we have ever seen, at which 2,500 persons were seated at one time, and the table was nearly filled the fourth time, snowing that near 10,000 persons partook of the generous hospitality thus < tfered, besides thou sands who dined at the hotels and boarding houses There w» aso a S p, en< „ d d,.d. r sprea ” „ a „. other place for the tari.es, at which a great number we understood, dined. After dinner the multitude gathered in groups, as large as could well hear a speaker, in the spa cons warehouse in which they had dined, and the remainder of the afternoon was spent, till night, in listening to the various orator* who we-o „,n , 'j . up and we saw at one glance, as many as six s u \ ’ holding forth at the same time, without any I ference with each other. We cou'd not . U ! ,Pr * ■to enumerate the Various orators who r ' to the calls of their fellow-citizens. \y e only those-we saw, and part of whoso add we heard, viz:—Hilliard and Hutcheson ofT*** Harris, of Baldwin, Toombs, of Wilkes Sh | Bibb, Law, ofChitham, Chappel, of JUbb \T ? ° f of Henry, and Kenon, of Baldwin, the j ° ore ' -I whom , made an effort, which for sound views and argument,chaste and beautifulhnV^ 1 1 would have done credit to any man. i ** afternoon Mr. Preston made his appearance crowd, and was loudly called for, and 6ln tlle the stand and entertained the audience sor 110100 * 1 Jj or more in his most happy and felicitous su'd Thus closed the scene on Thursday ° Friday, morning, Mr. Preston again addressed immense concourse of ladies and gentlemo' the balcony of the Central Hotel, which m forth repeated and fnost deafening shouts plause.... . 5 ° f a P* And -here it becomes our duty to record the most dastardly and High handed outran* ° f has ever come to our knowledge, and which sho 'ij I consign the originator to lasting infamy and grace. All the ladies, and many gentlemen had co out, and were sitting in carriages, to hear thediT " tinguished Carolinian, ai d the crowd <jf carria and persons on.foot was as dense as it could well ' be, when a small boy, prompted, as we afterwards understood he admitted, by a degraded and base' ' villain, came near the crowd and firfed'itlarge num. ber of crackers, which by their explosion fright ened the horses, many of which made despite efforts to run off, and one teem did run off with a ’ waggon, producing one of the most alarming and fearful scenes we ever beheld. Many knocked down and trodden under foot, and some of the ladies were so much alarmed as to swoon We believe, however, that no fatal accident oc curred. When order was again restored, Mr. Preston ’ concluded his remarks, and the Convention assem- ** bled at the Ware-house prepared for its sitting and adopted sundry resolutions, and transacted other business, of tvhich we could not obtain an authentic account, but which will appear as soon as received. • . ** Thus ended one of the most grand and sublime Conventions, which has ever assembled in th e South—which for enthusiastic devotion to the country was never surpassed on the globe—it a scene of the most glowing character, and one it tlie.thought of which the heart of the patriot in after .times will leap for joy. We are pained to state, that two accidents oc curred during the progress of the Convention I The one by the falling of a stria'l part of the Speak- ' er’s Stand by which a gentleman was caught and acriously injured, though we hope not fatally. The other by the falling of a table on which a crowd bad gathered to hear one of the Speakers by which • the leg of Col. E.'Hamilton was broken below the knee. • . • The Elections. We have no room for further election returns to day.—ln Indiana and Kentucky the Whigs have carried every thing before them. From Illinois we have but few returns and the contest will proba bly be close. North Carolina the Charleston Mer cury now yields to Morehead—And in Alabama the Loco -Foco majority in the Legislature is prob ably reduced from, 46 last yeaa, to 12 or 13. We have as yet no authentic account of the popular vote. From the NevQ Orleans Bulletin. Important From Mexico. GENERAL URIIKA ESCAPED FROVt THE IXQ.CIS ITIOX ANOTHER REVOLT ! ! By the schooner Emblem, which arrived at this port yeslerdiy, from Matamoras, we have received letters and papers of that port to the Ist instant, and dates from Mexico erty to the 16ih of July. There have been important movements in the cause of civil liberty. Urrea, the late Republican leader had escaped from the dungeon of the In quisition, roused the people, attacked and cap tured the city of Mexico, and made President Bustamenlc a prisoner! Buslamente subsequent ly got his liberty, and called the Centralists to the rescue—and as will be seen by the details below, a general battle is yet to decide which part}’ shall remain master of the Capital. Mi TAMOHAB, July 30. An extraordinary express arrived here on the 25th,.three days from 'Tampico, bringing the im portant intelligence that the City of Mexico was in the hands of the Federalists! In my last communication, you recollect I spoke to' you ot Urrea, giving you an account of that General since his escape at the battle of cajete. It appears that he was lately released from imprisonment; followers immediately flock ed around him, and the spirit of lebellion issued forth in the very heart of the Capitol. On the 15th Urrea, assisted by his coadjutors, Gomez Padrasa, ex-Vice President, and Gomes f ari I las, attacked the Palace, and after a bloody er *S a S ernen C in which 300 men are reported to have been killed, Bustamenle was taken prisoner. Before dark the City of Mexico was in the hand* of Urrea, who declared himself in favor of Fed eralism—and he will sink or swim with the cause he has espoused.— Subsequently, the Seminary, the Cathedral, and the Disputacion, were taken possession of; these, with the Palace, form the four corners of the great square On the 16th, the latest intelligence received, Bustamente was given his liberty ; and the Cen tralists were collecting their forces to make a desperate resistance. Upon the occurrence of these important events, Anna left Vera Cruz immediately in a di/igencia for the Capital. All this is glorious news for Texas. I hope they will not attack this place—for her indepen dence is now upon the eve of being acknowledged, and it is necessary that she act with great caution at this moment. August Ist, 184 C. Ihe express arrived night oelore last ff ism Tampico, and I have dates from the Capital up to the 23d ult. Urrea still had possession of the Palace, and /os casos publico, that command the great square of the city, and appearances at this date are of rather a gloomy feature for him. Santa Anna, it appears, was eager in his prof* fers of assistance to the Government, but was in formed that the revolutionists could be subdued without his aid. He is at Puebla.
