In the afternoon the delegates, invi ted guests and ladies were taken ou a most delightful excursion round the harbor, in the steamer Orisit, Capt. / 1 Manfield, where we enjoyed a fine view j of the harbor and city, both from Cooper , and Ashly Rivers, and from Sullivan’s { Island, where we spent an hour most acceptably in gathering shell, and look ing about tbe fort. The officers and soldiers received us most gallantly, and j 1 beguiled the time with several charm-j 1 \ ing airs from their brass band. 5 j On the way, and on the return, re- j freshments were supplied with a gen uine Charleston hospitality—the boat j “ being supplied with bushels after bush el of the choicest refreshments appro priate to the occasion. Songs and short, pithy addresses supplied a returning ’! pastime, and all reached the city im- 1 i pressed with a lasting sense of the whole • . I souled character of the young men of j j Charleston, and that artificial and de moralizing excitement is not necessary . ,to the very highest degree of social cn f joyment. f The Convention Address, by Prof. - Sayler of Cincinnati, wav interrupted : by his illness, and takes place this 1 (Monday) evening. Last evening, the delegates attended ■ 1 the lecture, by the Rev. Dr. Thornwell, j jof Columbia, before the Young Men’s j Christain Association of Charleston, at the Institute Hall, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. The address was a very powerful one, upon “The i Bible at the Death-Bed,” and sustained j the reputation which Dr. Thornwell 1 enjoys. ■ The Convention reassembled this morning, and proceeded to the transac tion of business. Communications were read from various Associations, and on proceeding to choose the place of meet ing for the next year Troy, New York, was fixed upon with few dissenting voices, and in the afternoon made uu- 1 amnions This convention has called together a 1 vctv intelligent class of your.g men. xi.d coming as they do from all sections, , and all branches of the church presents a m s: interesting deliberative assem- ' . 1 lage It will continue iu session until Wednesday. In haste, A. Specud Correspondence of the Disjxitch. Columbus, Ga., April —, 1858. I arrived here last night via. the At-j lanta & LaGrange Rail Road : spent one day at LaGrange, which is a town of no | inconsiderable importance; the country i ! around being fertile, and well culliva- { ted. many of the planters plowing their fields instead of scratching it, as many of j our Georgia .adamites do. One thing demands my Admiration, and that is the custom which prevails of building jon the tops of the hills, and leaving ; plenty of trees around to mollify the ! blasts of winter, and afford cooling j shades in summer. It shows an eleva-j I ted state of society, which you seldom | rind where the dwellingsareconstructed j , low down in the valleys. West Point is a place of some impor- j tance. There is talk of getting up a { •joint stock company with a resident j {“Board of Honor,” where those who | ! have symptoms that seem to indicate ] ' a certain balm which must he applied { j to their lacerated sensibilities, can have j 'that satisfaction demanded by “ pistols j I for two, and coffee for one.’ ’ West Point is a very good Cotton market, her buyers always keeping as j. close to the Augusta prices, as tbe dis- j, tance will admit. Opelika is the developing germ of a good business place ; her location is fa-! i vorable as respects the country and the Rail Roads. Os Columbus I must speak in another | j letter, but will not close without ma-j j king favorable mention of the Fjrky . House, and of the press of the city.

This morning, about one o'clock, a sad affair took place at a ball given by tbe De Sota Assembly at Saranac Hall, at the North-east corner of Bth and Callowhill streets. While the ball was in progress, a young woman, named Adeline Sewell, who was engaged in dancing, suddenly fell upon her face upon the floor. Her companions has tened to raise her up, when it was found j that she was dead! The melancholy ; occurrence caused a deep impression | among the persons who were present at | the party. The body of the deceased, attired in her hall dress, was removed to the Fourteenth Ward Station House, i and from there it was carried to her { late residence, No. 1224 North 16th | street, above Girard Avenue The de- { ceased was tiiirty-a'x years of age. Her i sudden death is attributed to disease of the heart, and the sad consummation was probably hastened by the exercise j in which she was indulging. Mrs. Se-11 well was a sister of Sergeant Yeager, of the 17th Ward police. : : Coroner Fenner held an inquest in the case to-day. It seems that the de ceased . was dancing the “ Lancer’s h Quadrille” at the time she fell dead.— j, Her husband was present in the ball : loom at the time of the melancholy event. The ball which was the closing i {scene of the life of Mrs. Sewell, was | •given on her birth night. The Coron- j :or': jury rendered a verdict that the • j deceased died from disease of the heart, j Spirit iiulism In the I/. S. Senate. IHm corressondent of the Philadel- j phia Inquirer says: I Hon. N. P. Tallmadge, formerly a I member of the United States Senate, in j j a letter defending modern spiritualism ! : from a recent attack upon it by Gen. ; Shields, intimates that a number of our present senators are believers in the doctrine, 1 and that the political history of 1860 1 will be greatly affected if not controled I by it. That the former assertion is en-1 tirely true, I happen to know ; but that! the latter will prove so, I prefer to en- 1 tertain some doubts. ill LATEST NEWS. BY TELEGRAPH [!

Mordecai Paine, a saddler, doing bus iness in North Ninth street, Philadel phia, was called home from his work shop on Saturday morning by a messen ger who brought the melancholy intel ligence that his wife, Barbara, had ta ken arsenic for the purpose of commit ting suicide.and was then at the point of death. He hastened to her bedside,and found her more in agouy of mind than body. She declared that there was something on her mind which she wish ed to confess to him before her depart- I ure, with the hope of obtaining his for -1 giveness. Mr. Paine, with emotion,de j sired her to go on with the disclos ! ure, adding that she might assure her , self of his forgiveness, before she bad made known her offences. “ Ah, Mordecai,” said she, “ you re , member our large white pitcher was broken some time ago ; I pretended to ,! you that the cat broke it, hut that was 5 false for I myself did it.” - ! “Oh, my dear,” said Mr. Paine, j “ don’t concern yourself about such a ! trifle. I had forgotten the pitcher, and it matters not how it was bro ken.” i! “ There is another matter, said Mrs. j P., after some hesitation. “ The. six • silver spoons which I made you believe were stolen by the Yankee clock-men -1 der ; I pawned them to raise money to . pay the milliner for doing up my pinkj satin bonnet.” “ Never mind it, my love,” said Mr. Paine, encourageingly. “ I hope hea ! ven will forgive you as freely as I j do. ” | After a short pause, Mrs. Paine began ! again : . “ Your best razor, which you missed j last summer, and made so much to do | about, I swapped it away to a pedler for ! a tortoiseshell comb. . j “ The deuce !—well, well,” said Mr. P., recollecting himself, “that is all! done now,and can’t he amended. Think ■ |no more of it.” . ! | “Xcould not leave the world with! j such a thing on ray conscience,” replied j the fair penitent. j “Go on, go on," cried Mr, Paine ;! | “X told you that I forgive everything at such a time as this,” Mrs. I’., re-; | sumed : “ You remember our hoarder,Simeon j Drake, who ran up a bill for six weeks, | and then went off in a hurry without J paying a cent. He and I had agreed to | ! elope together ; but ho changed his j : mind at the last moment, and ran away ! from me.” “ Fire and fury ! do you dare to tell me this?” cried Mordecai, in great excitement. “ But, as you are dying, I won’t reproach you. I’ll leave you now | to settle the affair with your own con-j science.” I. “ Stay and hear one thing more,” | cried the repentant Barbara. “The; dose I took this morning was intended j 1 for you. I put it into your cup of coffee j in my liuriy to get the thing done, I gave you the wrong cup and took the right one myself.” “The devil fly away with you, you; jade!” roared Mordecai, as he flung j himself out of the room. In the entry he met the apothecary who had sold | Mrs. P. the fatal powder. Thismedlcal man had heard of the commotion at ; Paine's house, and suspecting the cause; of it, he came to administer hope and J comfort to the afflicted. “ Don’t he alarmed, Mr. Paine,” saidj he, “ the drug I sold to your wife ivasj nothing but magnesia. I judged that she wished to destroy herself, and I tricked her in this way to save her! life.” “You swindling rascal,” shouted j Paine, “how dare you cheat a custo mer in that shameful manner, and ob tain her money on false pretences ? Begone!" And with this exclamation, he vio lently ejected the astonished apothecary from his front door. The man of phys ic, suspecting, of course, that the poor Mordecai was deranged, sent two offi cers to provide for his safe keeping.— His relation of the preceding dialogue, however, soon obtained Ills discharge.
