THE CITY. THE RATIFIGATION MEETING. THE RATIFIGATION MEETING. FIRST GUN OF THE CAMPAIGN! FOR M'CLELLAN & PENDLETON! THE HEART OF OHIO RIGHT! Tremendous Meeting of the Columbus Democracy! The State Yard fall of People! The State Yard fall of People! The City Ablaze with Enthusiasm! Speeches by Thurman and Cox! The Democratic meeting lost night to ratify the nominations of McClellan and Pendleton by the Chicago Convention, was the grandest and uiostlm posing denionstra Hon of any kind ever witnessed in Coluin bus.' The number of the people present, their earnestness and enthusiasm, surprised even those who from their knowledge of the city and the preparations that were made tor It, were supposed to know what its character would be. If, as it is fair to suppose, this monster demonstration at the opening of the campaign is any indication of the spirit of the people and the result of the election, this city and county will give more overwhelming majorities for the De mocracy than either ever gave before, ASSEMBLING OF THE MULTITUDE. Before the night began the streets were thronged with pedestrians men, women and children, for the enthusiasm and the de tire to be present seemed contagious, and infected the whole community wending their way towards the Capitol grounds, and the State IIouso steps were all occupied an hour before the time Axed for tbe meet ing. It was naturally supposed that all the people in town were at the State House, but it was not generally known that there were three meetings In the city. One large meeting of the Democracy ot the north end was held at the north Engine Ilouse, and addressed by Gen. S. W. Andrews and Dr. Durant, in brief and forcible speeches. There was also a meeting in the south end, whh h, in point of numbers, was fully equal to that watch Governor Brough addressed in the State yard a few nights ago, and in point of enthusiasm was far superior to it. When these meetings adjourned and marched to the State yard with their torch lights, bands and banners, arriving nearly at the same time, the e was the most stti pandous crowd we ha e ever seen congri gated in Columlus. Cheer after cheer went up from all r arts of the crowd, which, added to the din of the fusilade of Are' works, under the direction of Charlie Wag ner, made the people in other parts of the city think the center had a visitation in the shape of an earthquake, and woke up the sleepy officials of the State Ilouse to a re alization of the fact that they are about to receive their walking papers, FIRE WORKS. Owing to circumstances over which the Democracy have no control that is, mili tary orders there was no other artillery discharges except the vocal efforts of the crowd; but still there was con siderable powder burnt, with good effect, in the pyrotechulcal line. Dockets, Roman candles, bombs and wheels, illustrating the national colors, were discharged in glori ous profusion, and in connection with an enormous bonfire at eacli end of the square, served to illuminate earth and Hky. Neither time nor space will allow us to describe the scenes and incidents of the great meet ing, and we are compelled to come at onCo to ' ' THE ORGANIZATION. which was effected by Mr. Eelnhard call ing the meeting to order, and the selection of the following officers: President Jokh L.

Judge Green was called on, and before assuming the Chair made a brief and effect ive speech, which was listened to with earnest attention and cheered with a hearty good win at eacn or tne many goou points made by the speaker.. He stated the object of the meeting to be to hear from the rep resentatives of the people, who attended the Chicago Convention, an account of their stewardship in that bony, which was equal in importance to the Convention of 1776 in Philadelphia. The Convention of '76 declared that the Governments derived their Just powers from the consent of the governed, and the right of a people, when their rh?hta were Infringed upon and there was no other means of redress, to throw off tne yoKe ana provide ior Detcer ruiers. Tne unicago invention met to aeciae up on issues equally important; and deeply impressed with the sense of duty and re sponsibility ' which rested upon them of preserving from, destruction, the govern ment and the liberties pi the people, had with a dlznitv and nnanimitv oeflttinsr the occasion, placed in nomination to succeed to the government, ueorge ts. AlcUellaii and George II. Pendleton. Cheers. The principles there enunciated, and those of thq Democracy, arc the very reverse of those of our opponents. -In our creed Union is the synonim of peace, because to have the Union we must have peace. and , to have peace we must . have Union. Cheers. War, , for its - own sake, not for the Union, is the policy of our opponents; tkey have had it for four years, and what are Its fruits? 250,000 of our follow-cltlzens slaughtered on Southern battlefields, 250,000 more repining in hospi tals or hobbling among us maimed for life; tho accumulation of a debt under whloh the people stagger and faint. Let them beware of lest they give reality to that word which I fear to utter repudiation. They have had four, years of war and' they have failed to restore the Union or establish peace; God knows it's not the fault of tho.soldierg, for they have performed prodigies of valor and heroism on every field : but It Is because the leaden have failed.' We now require, de mand the other alternative negotiation, that Peace may follow it. -And who should preside over tlioso negotiations who should carry the olive branch,, except ho who has so well and so successfully wielded the sword, but George B. McClellan, Who never lost a battle except at Washington f Cheers. His Excellency, the Governor of Ohio derisive laughter. . says . McClellan has not the capacity to run a. railroad from here to , Cincinnati. . Brough thinks be could -do that, and therefore would make a better President.. Laughter. What did he , mean by that vile assertion that McClellan could not be trussed, except that he was a on oi l in J by of not on and i the the traitor? He didn't say It, but he wanted to. and some of his underlines say it. A shouldr-strapped ape who utters such stuff as the declaration that McClellan is a trai tor, ought to have a doctor called and be cut for the simples. Cheers. Go to the rank and file who have served with McClellan, and ask them about it you won't have to ask twice. Cheers from sol- diers.J But there is no use to get angry in talking about those things no man has a right to involve himself In danger At a time when his country needs him as she needs him now. Brough would be Kind of an opportunity, a pretext to bring the power of the government upon you and crush you; but do you be careful to give him no chance. He, tho Governor ot the State, descends to the meanness of calling you "copperhead devils," to provoke you. ' lie talks about the rational uuiml crushing you out. What is the National Guard? To near him talk you would think they were hired Hessians to do ills bidding: but they are not. They are your brothers, sons and fellow citizens; they are your guard, not Itls, and he may one clay find it so. Cheers. He should remember the Spanish riro- verb of curses like chickens coming home to - roost and 'that hlnmlv instructions return Jto plague the Inventor i uieers.j in conclusion, said the Judge, tn behalf of this miirhtv multitude and of the people of this country I will make proc lamation "To whom It niv concern." that we will have a free ballot or a free fight. Immense applause. SPEECH OF JUDGE THURMAN. The President of the meetlnsr then Intro duced Judge A. G. Thurman, delegate at large to the unicago Convention, who was warmly applauded. He said he aoneared rather to render an account of his stew ardship than to make aspcech. Honored as one ot tho representatives of the neonlo to the Chicago Convention, it becomes me to tell you who sent mo the miked truth about that Convention; the more so as I was ior unotner man than the candidate nomi nated. I was not a McClellan man when I went; my friend Cox here was lie ulways sees further toward success than I do. Cheers and Laughter. But he was fairly nominated by that Convention, and he received my support as a pure man a man of great experience and creat abili tya man whose capacity none but a fool or a scoundrel can deny a man whose un swerving Democracy is all that prevents him from being in command of the armies of the United States now. Cheers. No fairer or more honorable nomination was ever made in a free country than that of .meridian anu renuicton. we have seen in the Abolition naners that the Convention was InAuenced by the brokers of New York; but this is false. New York did not decide to cast her vote for McClellan until the sec ond day of the Convention, long after the western states naa aeci;irea themselves al most unanimously for McClellan. We were beaten by a two-thirds vote on the nrst Dauot, alter a fair and honorable flsht. Need any Democrat be told what to do un der such circumstances ? No. We acqui esced at once and said give us McClellan. If any man prefers Lincoln, let him denounce the Chicago Convention; but if he wants the success of the Demo cratic party to Bave the country; if .he is actuated by an earnest desire to preserve the country, ho will do as we do go for the nominee. Cheers. A purer, wiser body of men, or one more earnestlv desir ous of preserving their endangered coun try, never assemmea. There were one hundred thousand earnest, decent, and pat riotic neonle there to assist with their nrnv- ere and their Influence in preserving the country from destruction. . There was no quarrelling, no drunkenness; and John Wentworth sala that extraordinary bodv of men in Chicago for a week did not In volve the city iu an extra expense of ten dollars. Judge Thurman referred to Bronx's slanderous remark upon McClelian's want of capacity, and drew a masterly pictureof tho General's career and services, which we regret our inability to publish in lull. He referred to his gallant services In Mexico to his skill and genius displayed in Virgin ia, and to the success which everywhere at tended him when not hampered by the Ad ministration, and Anally turned Brough's slander against its author by lnauirinsr what must be the lutlirment or discernment of Lincoln, in placing McClellan in com mand of the United States arraies.if Brousrh discovered at a railroad meeting that General McClellan was vacillating, weak, and incapable. This point occasioned a trpmpnrlntia nmnnnr. nf olioorlncrl Tha Judge showed the fact to be that iicClellan had too much capacity for the Abolition ists; that he could restore the Union, and that they didn't want. The sneaker con cluded with a powerful and eloquent ap- Eeai to tne men Deiore nun to vote against incoln, who could not restore the Union or bring back peace, and retired amid a tre mendous Durst ot applause. SPEECH OF MR. COX. Hon. S. S. Cox was introduced and en thusiastically received by the multitude, and It was some moments before he could make himself heard. Mr. Cox referred to tho bloodless revolu tion for which the Constitution provides, and by which the people can change their rulers. The contest is not by arms, but by arguments. Ho prayed God it might not be reddened by the blush of shame, or the blood of violence: but that the old fashion ed American election might provail. The issue to be decided is between tlioso who have occasioned war and have no power or policy to end it, and those who would have averted war and have a policy to end it by peace with union. In deciding this ifsuo the people will ask: 1st, What those In power have done or failed to do, that they should be continued ; and, 2d, What their opponents propose to do, by which they are more worthy of public trust. Ho did not blame Republicans personally with a dis ruption of the Union. It was philosophical ly rcferrable to their sectional party. part cannot rule the whole. Hence, on their' accession compromise becamo impossible: and the elements of hate resolved Into elements of war. Bad blood begat bloodshed. Hence persecution and proscription of Democrats North, be cause they wished to hide their sins by fe rocious assaults on othersj Hence the breach between the North and South has been widened by their conduct of the war. Can such, a party ever conclude peace? Will you trust the incendiary with the torch again? Mr. Cox made a picture of our situation military and political ; and in' the pause tne ureaaiui connict arouna iticnmond, the words of peace were whispered even by tho President.- But the party which nom inated him at Baltimore still proclaimed the policy of subjugation and extermina tion. Mr. Cox considered this nollcv 1st -t llLA - a Jj f mi. " . ' luo nguu oi iu ueimncG oi puDiic ODln tifc- 1 -l m si ii Ion, in the ostracism of Gen.

McClellan' personal cnaracter and military career. and showed how the blunders of the President had interfered with ills sue cesses. He defended McClellan from the gross and infamous assaults of i.ov. Urough as to Yorktown and Antic ram; and wound un with a tribute to the Democratic party, which, regardless of men, however exulted, would return the country to Its pristine greatness and unity At the conclusion of MrCox's speech. the meeting ended with repeated and pro longed cheers for McClellan and Pendleton and as we write the echoes are still linger ing about the streets of the enthusiastic THE OPERA HOUSE. A Magnificent Hall in Columbus—An Architectural and Artistic Credit to City—Description of the Interior of the New Opera House, Dimensions, Scenery, &c. Architecture may be considered the ear liest and oldest of sciences, as it is certainly the only one of which there remained traces from a civilization almost as old as tho world.., The ancients wasted centuries in erecting monuments to their skill and in dustry in the shape of buildings, the ruins of which still remain the wonder of the world. In the excavations now being mado under the lava of Vesuvius, In the lost cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, are still found truces, preserved In the element which .' overwhelmed them, of the rarest skill in architecture and the art of orna menting and beautifying architecture. The wealth of a pcoplo expended In erect ing structures, and ornamenting them with the genius of the painter and tho sculptor, is tho surest way of transmitting its benefits to poster ity in an enduring shape. In this country the science of architecture is still young, as ts aiso the disposition of capitalists to promote and encourage it, but with each passing year both grow In importance. uutside of the National Capital and the Commercial Metropolis of the country, there is no building which can excel the State Ilouse erected by the people of Ohio, which will remain whole for centuries and which can never be entirely effaced. Next to this magnificent structure, Union Block, erected by private capital, will take rank as an ornament and a credit to the city and the taste ami enterprise of Its people. The foundation of the building was laid less than two years ago, yet with the character istic energy of Americans the stupendous work has been pushed to completion, and It is already occupied by the thriving stores and establishments of our business men and to-night the spacious ball, the Opera House, In reality, the crowning beauty of the building, will be opened to tho public for the first time. When it Is seen by the people ot the city, It will be recognized at once as a credit to tho capital of the State, arid a" monument to commemorate for uges the enterprise of its capitalists aud artisans. The hall,, which Is owned and was erect ed .by. Messrs. BenJ. Smith aud Theodoro Comstock, is of easy access In either wing irom High street, by stuircases which are w'lde enough to make tho entrance and ex it of a crowd comfortable and expeditious. The room is one hundred and ten feet long, eighty-six feet wide, and thirty-three feet high, contains seats for twelve hundred persons, and is capable of holding two thousand people without much crowding. Its shape is something like that of an am phitheater; the arena, or parquette, is seat ed with cane-bottom chairs, the dress cir cle aud gallery are supplied with cushion ed seats, arranged in seml-clrcular form, one above another. The hall Is well light ed by a skylight In the dome in the center of the hall, the dome being twenty-eight feet in diameter at the base, and eigh teen at . the apex. Tho ceiling is beautifully frescoed and ornamented by a row of pannels which surround the dome, In each of which there Is a brilliant allegorical picture, which pro duces a flne'effcct. The frescoed work is that of Mr. Predltta, and the paintings are the work of Mr. Win. T. Porter, of Cincin nati, whose pencil is that of a painter gift ed with the true inspiration of a divine art, The front ot tho gallery is beautifully dec orated ana ornamented witn white paper machla statues and models representing the Graces. The hall is thoroughly venti lated by spacious windows on both sides, and will bo illuminated by one hundred and sixty-four gas jets in front of tho stage. Four commodious family boxes, handsome ly draped, complete the extensive arrange ments. S . 7 '. I The whole appearance and effect of the ball is beautiful... There has been, happily, no attempt to overdo the ornamental part of the interior in order to make it gaudy and showy, but everything is neat, pure, delicate and artistic, and in this respect the Opera'House is far superior to any other establishment in the West, and not Inferior to any in tho East. i - 1 ' - j The Btage an affair scarcely less impor tant in an institution like the one we are attempting to describe Is a model of ele gance and capacity. It is thirty-eight feet wldo and thirty-six feet deep, giving as wide a Held for the practice of the mimic art as there is any possible need for. The interior is supplied with nine neat and commodious dressing-rooms, entrances on either side of the stage, and outside the building passages and speaking trumpets to the orchestra in front, and all the mys terious machinery and appliances known to the drama. These fixtures and arrange ments are under the management of Mr. John M. Kinney, who knows all about them a ' knowledge which nothing but years of experience behind the scenes can give. ..viiVOi , The scenery of the stage is in keeping wltlthe rest of the 'building it is superb. For this the credit is due again to Wm. T. Porter, the best scenic artist in tbe West ; The drop-curtain is a master piece of . artistic genius, whloh to be appreciated niiiBt be- seen and ' studied. Any attempt at , a description of the painting would but mar its beauty to those : Is for for Ao. 1 .VHe jftXMV 1 who see it, and convey a very imperfect idea of its beauty to those who do not see It. The design is an architectural one the choice, we believe, of Mr. Comstock the manner In which it ts presented Is worthy of the very best artists of the age. The view Is that of the Interior of a Corinthian palace, an arch supported by rows of pil lars, which form a long aisle, ending with a window and wall in the background, the floor representing stone of alternate colors, like the floor of the State Ilouse. The painting Is as beautiful as it could be made, and when brilliantly illuminated by the foot-IIghts, the effect is peculiarly splendid Tho other scenes are gotten up in Mr. Port er's best style, and reflect credit upon his artistic skill and taste. " Tho building will be inaugurated to-night by Mr. Do Vlvo's Italian Opera Troupe, who are to give nine Operas In It. They have performed In some of the best Opera Houses in the world, but In lew on this continent equal to that of Messrs. Smith and Corn stock. There will doubtless be a large and appreciative audience present to witness the Opera of Trovatore, and enjoy the first night at the Opera Ilouse, which, next to the State House, is the finest specimen of architecture In the city. We cannot close this hasty notice of the Opera Ilouse without mentioning tho gen- tlemau to whom, more than to any other, the credit of executing the design of the proprietors Is due that is the architect, Mr. Auld. The building and hall were designed and their construction superintended by him, aud the whole is now completed, we need scarcely add, to the entire satisfaction of the owners and all Interested In a work of so much interest to the city. .

It will by no means open the river to Richmond. Rebel gunboats are now a mile or two above it; Fort Drewry is above it, and there may be obstructions in the channel above. However, by means of it we shall flank Ilowett's Ilouse batte ry, which is almost as formidable as Drew ry 's Bluff, and shall cut off six miles of river. The Pirate Florida. Washington, Sept.
