Houston, of Salis bury township, was unanimously chosen President of the Convention, who, upon takirig the Chair, made a few extremely radical remarks returning thanks for the honor conferred. In the course of his re marks he alluded to the poor negro, and made use of the following expression: " Having used them (the negroes) in our weakness, we will show, that we have not forgotten them in our strength." The following were chosen Vice Presi dents: Geo. W. Compton, Cternaryon; Michael H. Shirk, West Cocalico ; Andrew Arm strong, East Donegal ; George Geyer, War wick; H. K.

A. 11. Summy, of Marietta, offered the fel lowing as an amendment: Re.so/red, That the delegates to die State Convention are• hereby instructed to vote for, and use all honorable means to secure the nomination (n . John A. Iliestand, for Auditor ( leneral. John I. Hartman, Esq., of the Examiner, in a few spirited remarks, offered the follow ing resolution as an amendment to the amendment: Resolved, That the delegates to the State Convention are hereby instructed to vote for, and use all honorable means to secure the nomination of John A.- Hiestand, for Auditor General, and to vote for and secure the nomination of souse veteran soldier for Surveyor General. M. M. Strickler replied in a floe stirring remarks, charging the opposition to his resolutions as not (quill ned to a mere local fight, but was an assault against the sol diers, Governor Curtin and President John son, and which had been similarly mani fested at Reading, Philadelphia and other places. The amendment to the amendment first came up for consideration, upon which a lively and exciting debate sprang up be tween Samuel 11. Price, M. M. Strickler and Samuel Brubaker, of Elizabethtown, in reference to the preference of a civilian over that of a soldier. The vote on the amendment to the amendment was decided by the chair to be in the affirmative, when the yeas and nays were called for by Mr. Strickler, which were ordered, and resulted as follows: - Yeas, 711; nays, 71. 133!MEM1=11111111!11111111E1= moments, upon the questions on motions to adjourn, and proceeding to the nomina tion of candidates for delegates. The mo tion to adjourn was, however, finally car ried, and the Convention adjourned to 11 o'clock, P. M. 112= The Convention re-assembled at 11 o'clock. The first business was the consideration of the original resolutions as amended, up on which another exciting discussion (and which did not scent to be made very clear or plain by the speeches elicited from the various gentlemen participating), ensued. Some parties maintained that the amend ment to the amendment was asubstitute for the original resolutions, whilst others were equally decided in the opposite. Amid at tempted explanations, calls for the previous question were made, which was sustained. The vote on the original resolutions as amended was then taken, and decided in the affirmative, when the yeas and nays were ordered. [" Confusion worse con founded'' again followed, during the reign of which calls were made for the reading of the resolutions, and a proposition sub stituting, the name of Col. Joseph W. Fisher, of the 195th Regiment, P. V., for that of John A. Iliestand, for Auditor General, mid the attempt of several gentlemen to obtain the floor. Order was soon restored by the Chairman ruling all debate out of order, and the calling of the yeas and nays proceeded with the following result : Yeas, 11)4; nays, 75. On motion, a Committee of nine were ap pointed to whom all resolutions hereafter offired should be referred. The following were appointed: Col. S. H. Price, City; Geo. W.

The question was put, and the Chairman said " the ayes appear to have it," and then, strange to say, directed the balloting to be proceeded with. Five ballots were taken before a selection was made. On the fifth ballot, Samuel Ensminger, of Manheim borough, was chosen over the soldier candidate by the following vote: Samuel Ensminger John H.

The facts, as far as we have been able to gather them, are as follows: It appears that a man named Gibson Pe ters, who had not been on good terms with his wife for some time, had a quarrel with her in the morning. In the evening he again went to her house and meeting his wife in the entry, deliberately stabbed her near the heart with a pocket-knife, which was found in the entry afterwards. As soon as he committed the deed he ran out of the house and up the street, his wife following after and screaming "murder. She ran to the front steps of Mr. Elias Weitzell's house, some twenty yards distant, where she fell. She was immediately carried back to her own house, and Drs. Kline and (trove called in; they were, however, un able to render her any assistance, and she died in about an hour afterward. Mr. Isaac Pawling and two other gentlemen were engaged in conversation in front of his hotel at the time, and, hearing the woman's screams and seeing the man run, started after him. They pursued him to the office of Cyrus Ream, Esq., where he gave himself up, acknowledging that be had killed his wife and did riot care for the consequences. On Monday he was taken to see the corpse of his wife, and carelessly remarked " that it was all over now, and ha didn't care how soon they shot him. - He was brought to the city on Monday, and committed to the County Prison to await his trial for murder. Fins.—A fire broke out on Wednesday night last, about 11 o'clock, in the core oven of trle foundry of Messrs. Diller Stehman, which resulted in the burn ing of a large number of core boxes.— Front these the lire extended to the roof, one-third of which was also burned.— The loss will amount to about $3OO, on which we learn there is no insurance. The fire was fortunately discovered by several neigh bors, who raised au alarm. By the exer tions of Messrs. Lewis Haldy, Daniel A. Altick, Jolla B. Kevinski and others, to stay the extension of the flames, and the assistance of the Friendship Fire Company with their apparatus—being the only com pany on the ground—the fire was soon ex tinguished, and what might have otherwise proved a more serious conflagration pre vented. The lire originated in the oven, and was accidental ; there being too largo a fire in the oven, it extended to the shelves on which the cores were laid to dry and from there to the boxes. Sitor-LIFTIN(;.--One of the most exten sive cases: 01 shop-lifting that has come to our knowledge Ibr sonic time, was perpe trated on several of our merchants, on Sat urday last, by an elderly woman named Margaret Hoffman, of Manor twp., Lancas ter county, where her husband, a well-to do farmer, resides. From the store of John P. Myer she took a web of calico valued at $6 ; a Balmoral skirt, valued at $B, from Bair Lt Co.; a web of muslin, valued at $lO, from Jacob G. Getz's store ; a pair of boots, valued at $l, from the rack in front of P. McConomy's store; a dozen white handkerchiefs from C. Schaeffer, and sev eral brushes from the store of Mr. Weaver. The calico being missed by Mr. Myer, sus picion was cast upon the woman, and offi cer Huber was sent in search of her, whom he found in West King street in possession of the goods. Being brought to the office, it was suggested that the room where she generally put up at during her visit to mar ket be examined, when the other articles, identified by their respective owners, were found, and to the larceny of which she rather hesitatingly acknowledged. The boots sho persisted in saying were pur chased by her husband and given to her, but he denied the allegation at once, and she finally acknowledged to having taken them. Complaints were made by the re spective owners, and in default of $2OO bail in each case, she was committed. The resi dence of the accused was subsequently searched by the officer, and another web of calico, belonging to Mr. Getz, and a pair of boots, not yet identified, were found. RELIOI.OI.I3.—The United Brothers will hold a Camp Meeting in Bruner's Woods, at Reinhold's Station, on the line of the Reading and Columbia Railroad, to com mence on Monday, September 4th, and to continue through the week. Every accom modation will be provided by Col. JeSse Reinhold. The Railroad Company will ran excursion trains. Court Proceedings. Monday Morning.—The Court - of Quarter Sessions (August term) met this morning at ten o'clock, Judge Hayes presiding. There was a very full attendance. John M. Hershey, of Mt. Joy township, was appointed foreman of the Grand Jury. The Judge delivered his charge to the Grand Jury. It was able and patriotic. Thensual preliminary business was gone through with. Several cases were continued. The rules of equity practice adopted by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania May 27th, 1.865, with the report of the Commis sioners, was to-day published in open court, and ordered to be recorded with the rules of court, as required by the provisions of the act of Assembly relating to the same. The said rules to be deemed obligatory and in full effect from the time prescribed by law. Nol. pros. were entered in a good many cases. Other business of not much impor tance was disposed of. The Court adjourned till afternoon. Monday Afternoon.—Court met at two and a half o'clock. Com. vs. Henry Geist. Surety of the peace, on oath of Mr. Fritz, who fears damages to himself and property. The constable who arrested him also testified to his vicious disposition. The defendant be trayed evidences of insanity. Sentenced to give bonds in the sum of $2OO to keep the peace for six months and pay costs. Corn. vs. Frances Witteg and Catharine Harman. Complained against by Rebecca Fullerton for threatening to kill her for a slight offence. All the parties live in Co lumbia. Bound over in their own recogni zances in the sum of one hundred dollars each to keep the peace for three months and to pay costs. One or two cases were continued. Owing to the absence of witnesses and other material circumstances, no cases of any special interest were before the court during the afternoon. Tuesday Morning.—Court met at nine o'clock. Coin. vs. A. Zinck. Surety of the peace. Elizabeth Eck testified that the defendant entered her garden, destroyed the vegeta bles in it, using violent, abusive and vulgar language to her, threatening to kill her, and making lair fearful of some bodily injury. In defence Zinck swore that Mrs. Eck's husband did not pay the rent of the house ; that Mrs. Eck had sonic difficulty with his wife; that she shot at him three times with a pistol loaded with powder and shot, though she only hit the hog pen, and that he was only pulling up the weeds in his own gar den. The affair occurred in Marietta. The Court decided that both parties should be bound over to keep the peace for three months, pay costs, ,tc.- Hiram Shank, found guilty of involun tary manslaughter at the last court, was brought in to receive his sentence. His counsel brought proof to show that a per fect reconciliation had taken place between the parties before the death of Good, mu tual forgiveness being asked for and grant ed, and that the parties parted as friends before the death occurred. In consideration of this and other powerful extenuating cir cumstances elicited in the trial, the Court sentenced him to pay ten dollars fine, costs, and undergo an imprisonment of fifteen days. Corsi. vs. Geo. Hoick. Plead guilty in two eases of assault and battery. Mr. Lockert, a conductor for the special train between Lancaster and Columbia on Whitsuntide Monday,swore that Heick attempted to steal a passage on the train from Mountville to Columbia, and on remonstrating with him, he used very threatening language and finally attacked him, pushing him so that Ins foot tripped and he fell down, on which Heick jumped on hint and hurt him severely about the face. l eel ine was on the train assisting Lockert, and after leaving it at Columbia was attacked unawares by Heick who throw him down breaking his jaw and teeth. Both assaults it appears were un provoked. The court decided both to be malicious attacks and sentenced him to pay $lO fine in each case and costs, and undergo three months imprisonment for each offence. Com. vs. F. K. Mosey: Fornication and bastardy, on oath of Rebecca Crum, who swore that the initiatory proceedings with Mosey took place on the 20th of November, 1803; that the child was born on the 26th of August, 186 : 1. She admitted to having re ceived pointed attention from gentlemen beforehand,(though not at the time) having been the mother of three children, though unmarried. The parties live in Marietta. The defence was that she was a public woman, had an innumerable quantity of lovers and visitors about the time of the alleged paternity, that she kept a bawdy house, and her general character had been very bad for the last ten or fifteen years.— She visited the canal boats, and one of the witnesses swore that Rebecca Crum and herself were both on a boat drunk together, and otherwise disorderly. Several of the witnesses' character for chastity was not The plaintiff also swore that Mosey and herself had an understanding together; that be admitted the child to be his ; that he told her he wouldn't let her stick, but that he left Marietta and did let her stick. The testimony of the plaintiff was not very strong, and had nothing material to support it. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, but as they did not fix the costs, the Court directed them to decide on them, and return their decision in the afternoon. The Providence township road case, which has been up before the court at several terms, was continued, as the super visors are engaged in laying out the road at zesent. A HEAVY DEscatvrioN.—We thought we had hot weather in Lancaster. But that at La Crosse, Wisconsin, as described by " Brick" Pomeroy, takes down everything in the heated term this season. Just hear what the facetious and inimitable " Brick" says of it: Hot .'—The Elmira ( iazette has an article on hot weather, which in comparison to weather here is like icebergs vs. bridal couch kisses. We've been in Elmira. Have thought it was hot there, but all such thoughts were childish fancies compared to western realities. It is so hot here in La Urcisse to day that a bronze statue of Wash ington sweats like a man reading his death warrant, or an old maid saying " yes" for the first time. Every hair of our head is as bulbous as a cat tail with sweat. Birds fall in the streets. bare as a marble baby, and the air is set orated with the smell of burn ing feacners ! The sand in the street bas melted a ed like lava runs kissing the paving stones and burning through horses' feet. Paint on houses is blistered with heat till the buildings look like the head of an Irish man after a special meeting at Donnybrook Fair. Women's skirts roll up like parch ment, and their limbs are checkered with scars from hoop skirts till they took like meat just turned on a hot gridiron. In comparison, 1%1 ilton's description of bell is colder than Dr. Kane's Arctic expedition. The river runs boiline . ' water, and the roots of the trees along the bank look like wash women's thumbs after a siege in the wash tub. The fish in the river are like gravy, while green wood piled along the bank, drying for steamboat use, burnsspontan eously as would gun cotton. And yet it is not excessively hot for the West. The at mosphere is like the core of a ripe water melon, and resembles a full grown Aurora Borealis. We are rather warm, but nothing to some days Now we sit here, the flesh all sweat from the body—the marrow all melted and out of our bones, with a blast from a smelting furnace being driven through the skeleton, and red hot though it be we feel cool in comparison to some days. Talk about its being hot in Elmira! Better come to La Crosse ROBBERY. —On Saturday 'bight last, a young man named Patrick MacAlcor, re siding in Plumb street, this city, fell asleep in the depot, and was robbed while asleep of his money, amounting to about $66, and his watch. Another.—On the evening of the same day, the house of William Wilson, in West German street, was entered and ransacked, while he was absent at work at the Water Works, near this city. The sum of $5.15 was stolen from one of the bureau drawers ; it belonged to a young girl living with Mr. W. This is all that is known to have been missing. AN EXPLANATION.—Young ladies are often asked why they blush so when spoken to about their lovers, but they are seldom able to give a satisfactory answer. Taking pity on their bashfulness, a writer in the American Medical Gazette furnishes the fol lowing lucid explanation of the beautiful phenomenon: "The mind communicates with the central gangloin ; the latter, by re flex action through the brain and facial nerve, to the organic nerves in the face, With which its branches inosculate." The mystery is now perfectly clear. MEETING OF THE DEMMIATIC COUNTY COMMITTEE.-The Democratic County Com- - mittee meton Saturday last, at 11 o'clock, in the rooms of the Young Men's Democratic Association, for the purpose of organization.

The Chairman was instructed to call a County Convention on Wednesday, Sep tember 20th, the delegate elections to be held on Saturday, the 16th of September, for the purpose of nominating a county ticket. After a general interchange of views, the committee adjourned. LANCASTER HORSE MARKET, MONDAY, Aro. 21, 1865.—The trade has been exceed ingly dull during the past week, both in the way of arrivals and sales. Trout's.—The arrivals were 4 head to D. M. Sharp it Co., bought up in the county. S head were sold to different parties in the county, and 15 head shipped on Tuesday last to Philadelphia market, leaving 14 on hand. Edwin Ayers has a fine Canadian trotting mare at these stables for sale. Funk's.—There were no arrivals.

Copeland t Cline3.—The arrivals were 10 head bought up in the county. The sales amount to 17 head sold at public sale at Mt. Joy, this county, and 12 head sold to other parties. 21 head were shipped to Philadel phia market this morning, leaving 4 head of fine trotters on hand. BOLD BURGLARY AND HEAVY ROBBERY —On Monday night, at an early hour, sup posed to be about 10 o'clock, the store of Wentz Brothers, No. 5, East King st., was entered and robbed of a large amount of silks and other goods. The burgivs, for there must have been more than one, effected an Qntrance at the rear end of the store by bor ing a hole in the middle of the shutter, and also by boring two holes at the bottom where the bolt was fastened by a hook.— About 12o'clock Mr. Stackhouse, who keeps an oyster saloon under Sieber's Cigar Store, in Centre Square, had occasion to go into the private alley between Mishler's Herb Bitters Store and Johnston's Hotel, where he stumbled over what turned out to be a pile of goods, but having but one leg and fearing personal injury, he became fright ened and hurried back to his saloon with out giving any alarm. This is the alley by means of which they effected the entrance to the yard in the rear of the store, and through which the goods were carried off. This morning some of the goods were found scattered about in the yard and also in the alley—the burglars and robbers evidently being hurried in their movements. Several coats, in the pocket of ono of which was a Clark lantern, and in the others numerous neck-ties, Sc. , were also found in the yard. A double-barreled gun belonging to Mr. H. C. Wentz, one of the firm, was also found in the yard. The Messrs. Wentz estimate their loss at about Ei3,000. I 'SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday evening at (1 o'clock, just as the Harrisburg Accommodation train westward was leaving the depot in this city, one of the most horri ble and fatal railroad accidents we have ever been called upon to chronicle, occurred. J. W. Hunter, Esq., for many years a Jus tice of the Peace at Columbia, had got upon the train for the purpose of going home. Ile was standing on the platform at the time the cars started, and the sudden motion caused him to lose his hold. Mr. Frank Wright, who had but a few minutes before put the mails from the city post-office aboard the train, was standing in the immediate vicinity of the track, and observing Mr. H. falling, caught hold of him and endeavored to give him a secure footing; but the un fortunate gentleman having but one leg, and being a heavy man, Mr. Wright was unable to carry out his merciful intentions, and the deceased fell between the bumpers, got under the wheels and was horribly mangled and crushed. Of course instant death resulted. The remains, which were scattered about for a space of ten yards, were gathered up and placed in a box, arid were taken to Columbia in the 8 o'clock train. An inquest was held by Deputy Cor oner Snyder, of this city, and a verdict ren- dered in accordance with the above facts. The deceased lost one of his legs on the railroad many years ago, and a son of his, who we believe is still living, had both legs taken off above the knees by the same means. Ills sudden and horrible death has caused a gloom and shudder to spread over Columbia and vicinity, where he was well and favorably known. Thy, 77Tm—The following note, to one of the editors of the Intelligencer from an old Lancasteriun, will be of interest to the many relatives and friends of the members of the 77th in this city. The letter makes no mention of the 77th being mustered out of the service : - IEADQT'S, IST BRIG., IST DIV. 4TH ARMY C., GREEN LAKE CAMP, July 24th, 1865.

Sunday last afire broke out in the barn of David Weaver, near Binkley's Bridge in Leacock township, this county, which extended to the dwelling twice, but by the timely arrival of a number of neigh bors, who discovered the fire, with buckets of water and pieces of wet carpet soon suc ceeded in checking the flames, and saved the house. The barn however, was entirely burned. The products in hay and grain of 80 acres were consumed, all the farming im plements, wagons, etc. All the stock, but three bogs and a calf weresaved. None of the family were at home, Mr. W. having gone in the morning to pay a visit to his father.

The origin of the fire i.e unknown, but there are two sup positions, one of which is that it was caused by some matches which a small boy, son of Mr. N., was carrying, and which he had been lighting briers with; the other is that it resulted from the heated oats and hay, the day being very warm, and the barn be ing stored with grain up to the slate roof.— There was an insurance on the barn, but none on the contents.

ANOTHER LARGE TOMATO.—We were shown this morning a Tomato which weigh ed ono pound and three-quarters. It was raised in the garden of Mrs. Edward Cald well, at Chickies, near Marietta. Bring on your big Tomatoes. SPEER'S SAMBURO WINE.—The thou sands of physicians in this country and Europe who are prescribing this wine as using it in their own families in preference to all others, is sufficient evidence of its superiority over imported wines, as well as over the manufactured sugared stuff, often called native wines. The only genuine Samburg Port \Vine has Mr. Speer's signa ture over the cork of each bottle. Its purity for a communion wine and its valuable properties for medical use cannot be sur passed.
