" Frbm the nettle danger has been plucked the flower safety. - ' The Republican Senatorial Conference which convened, according to ad journment, at Camptown on Monday last, has concluded its deliberations in a mauuer which will be hailed with joy by the Republicans of the District. Ou the hco hundred ami Ihirfti j third ballot, Rev. GEORGE LANDON, of the County, having a majority of a H the votes, and was declared the nominee by the unani mous vote of the Couference. The struggle for a nomination at this Con- i ference has been the most protracted and un exampled in the history of our Party. For four days the Conferees had endeavored to bring about a nomination, but with little pros pect of reaching that result. As is well known each County of the District presented a can didate,and pertinaciously adhered to him, hop ing that circumstances might bring about his nomination. Meanwhile public anxiety had deepened, and apprehensions were entertained i that irreconcilable interests in the Conference would bring about division and disaster. On Tuesday morning after balloting for Mr. MTER some tiro hundred and t irmly Jive times, the Conferees from this County, acting upon his request, withdrew his name. For this act, ; too much credit cannot be awarded to Mr MYER. He had been almost unanimously pre sented bj a County which casts a large roajori ty of the Republican votes of the District.— He was also the choice of Sullivan, and sup ported by her Conferee. Appearances indica ted, that pertiuacionsly adhered to, his nomi tion was certain. Put the long protracted struggle had engendered feelings which threat , ened to affect the prosperity of the party, and ; called for a sacrifice of feeling and interests on ' his part. lie cheerfully and manfully gave j way to the substitution of other candidates who | had not been involved in the contest, and whose : nomination was calculated to promote the liar mony and advance the interests of the Republi can party. The nominations were opened, and the names of several gentlemen in Bradford and Susquehanna placed before the Conference.— Upon the 233 d ballot, Mr. LANDON bad 1 votes, Mr. JRSSCP 4 votes and Mr. SMITH 1 vote Mr. CARMALT, of Susquehaoua, moved that the nominatiou be made unanimous, which was seconded by Mr. Ross of Wyoming, and adopt ed unanimously. Of the nominee of the Conference, GEORGE LAXDON, it is almost a work of supererogation to speak. lie is knowu throughout the Dis trict as well as in this County. The popular heart will enthusiastically beat in response to his nomination. He is emphatically of, and from, the people. There are few who have not ' listened to him with admiration as ho eloquent ly advocated the cause of Republicanism, or boldly and fearlessly denounced the " sum of nil villianies." If tire Republican party of this j District owes as a debt of pre-eminence to any 1 man for sowing the seed of Truth, and correct principles,that man is GEORGE L.VNDO.V. El oquent, talented, " lively or severe" as the case may demand, tho wrong has no quarters at his I hands, whenever, in his judgment, the occasion 1 demands its stern rebuke. To those who only , know him as an orator, it will be gratifying to learn that he isemiuently a practical man, of great prudence and foresight ; one who unites the attributes of the orator with the necessa ry qualifications of the legislator and the states man. GEO. LANDON'S abilities, his labor in the cause, and his reputation arc too wide for a single County, aud the District will hail his nomination without regard to County lines or individual interests, and confirm the choice of the Conference by a vote which will show the popular estimation. The Conference appointed a Committee to inform Mr. LANDOX of his nomination, which waited apon him, and reported his acceptance. Sherwood's is the next place of meeting. THE COMING ELECTION I. p to this time, hardly a note of prepara tion has been heard, in this county, for the election which is to take place in less than two weeks. Apathy seems to have seized hold of both political parties. It is high time thatonr friends should begin to arouse themselves for the battle, and commence that labor which alone will ensure a respectable majority for the State Ticket. The importance of the present contest can hardly be overestimated. Indeed every State election is important, so long as there are great questions of National import ance undecided, and the result in a Common wealth like Pennsylvania, has a powerful influ ence in upholding or rebuking the course of a National Administration. In the present in instance, we have a President, from Pennsylva nia, who is recreant to all the professions and principles, the promulgation of which, enabled him to secure the vote of his own State—who has outraged the public feeling of the North— and who yet looks to Pennsylvania for an en dorsement of his acts by the election of a State Ticket standing upon a platform affirming his doctrines. The defeat of that Ticket will be a signal rebuke of the present National Execu tive, coming from his own State, and is pecu liarly dreaded by him. No means will be left undone to avert it. It is the common expectation amongst the well informed of all parties, that the Feople's State Ticket will be elected by a large majori ty. So it will be if our friends do their duty. Who knows the amount of labor and money the Administration will devote to Pennsylva nia from this time until election ? Suppose, for instance, Bradford should give the State Ticket only 2000 or 3000 majority, when it should be 5000, at least, who can safely say that the State is to rebuke Lecomptonism I The minions of Slavery proptigaudism are never apathetic. They arc always ready to bring to the polls every vote they can control. If our friends desire to rebuke the policy of the Na tional Administration—if they would have Pennsylvania speak out upon that subject—it is here in Bradford that the work must be done. Time enough yet remains, if our friends set about it in earnest. The indifferent should be aroused to tlic necessity for exertion, and par ticularly should arrangements be made for bring ing out votcis to the polls. The few days which now remain should be improved. If they are allowed to slip by, we may be mortified by the small majority we shall contribute towards producing that result which we know is ardently desired by every Republi can, and which is r.ow within our reach, if we will only put forth the proper exertion. The American State Convention of New Y'ork met Utica, Wednesday, and after the usual preliminaries organized by the selec tion of the Hon. EKASTPS BROOKS as permanent President and a requisite number of Secretaries. Considerable debate occurred on the question of the character of the ticket proper to be put in nomination, but finally a resolution to nomi nate a straight American ticket was voted down by a large majority, and resolution was adopted to appoint a committee of two from each political district to select candidates from those already in the field. The result of the deliberations ot this Committee was the presen tation of the following names : For Judge of the Court of Appeals —Henry E. Davies, of New-York, (Rep.) For Secretary of Stale —David E Floyd Jones, of Queens, (Dem.) For Comptroller —Robert Dtnniston, of Orange, (Rep.) Far Treasurer —Philip Dorsheimer, of Erie, (Rep ) For Attorney-General —Charles F. Meyers, of St. Lawrence, (Rep.) For State Engineer —Van R. Richmond, of Wayne, (Dem.) For Canal Commissioner —William J. Skin ner, of Herkimer, (Dem.) For Stale Prison Inspector —Noble S. Elderkin, of St. Lawreuce, (Dem.) For Clerk of the Court of Appeals —Charles Hughes, of Washington, (Rep.) The report was accepted, and after a warm debate the ticket was endorsed. BEARS IN* WISCONSIN*. —The dronth nnd fires north of the Wisconsin river have driven the Bears into the settlement in search of food,and in some instances they commit serious depreda tions. At Melancthon Creek, Richland county a woman was attacked and killed by a bear on the 10th, and a Mr. Samuel Marsh had a rough encounter with a bear on the 12th. Mr. M. was severely bitten before the bear could be driven off. Big bear hunts are being inaugurat ed in the bruin region. Jfca?" Lieut. Gen. SCOTT sailed, Tuesday, in the Star of the J ['est, on his mission to Wash ington Territory, whither he has been ordered by the President, in view of.the conflict of authority between the British and American authorities upon the Island of San Juan.— Large crowds gathered on the pier at which the steamer lay, and on the wharves and shi|>- ping near it, and mid loud cheering and the firing of canuou, the General started on his voyage. fiSF* Mr. Charles McAllister of Philadel phia has been appointed Receiver for the Williams-port and Elmira Railroad Company. This action, of the Court, will perhaps settle the controversies which, for some time past has existed among the different parties iu in terest. The Democratic Senatorial Conference met at Montrose on Wednesday last—perhaps. The business was easily transacted. STAND BY THE TICKET. There is a great reason why the Republicans of Badford should stand up square for the WHOLE TICKET. Candidates more worthy of your support, never asktd your suffrages.— Don't permit any consideration to allow you I to strike a single name. Remember that it is ° , necessary that our whole ticket should receive our united support, not that the offices are of any consequence, but to show that we are honestly uuited on principle, and determined to vote for the men who represent our principles ' inside of our organization. It is necessary for the success of our organi zation, and for the great object for which it has been formed, that every member 011 llie ticket should be cordially and zealously supported. Don't allow appeals of any kind to swerve you from your duty. We have nominated our can didates in good faith. No better selections could have been made. They are entitled to our support, uot only from their capacity, but from the fact that if the Republicans should leave any portion cf their ticket, it would create distrust and lessen the usefulness of the organization hereafter. All our accounts from the differeut sections of the County are most flattering The Republican phalanx, as far as we can learn, presents a united and determin ed front, and is ready 011 the second Tuesday of October to do battle for the cause of Free dom. FQREIGN NEWS. The Steamship I Underbill with advices to the lolh inst., arrived at New York, 011 Sun day last. The intelligence is of the highest interest. As of more immediate concern at the present moment the precedence is due to a sad cal amity, that has befallen the Great Eastern in the course of her experimental voyage not, happily, affecting the programme of her coining trans-Atlantic trip but attaching a melancholy interest to the early story of the ship. On the 9th inst, while off Hastings, cn route to Plymouth, a feed-pipe casing, leading through the main saloon, suddenly exploded, causing the death of four assistant engineers, and dan gerously, if n< t fatally, wounding eight others. The interior of the great saloon was entirely torn to pieces ; the lower tier of staterooms destroyed and the interior arrangements and decorations for some distance from the spot, sadly injured and defaced. The accident, by a fortunate chance, occurred just after the pas sengers had retired from the dining tables and sought the deck, else the calamity would have been greatly more distressing. The fault of the accident is imputed to the economy of the managers in employing what they were nd vised to be a defective and undesirable piece of workmanship. The vessel, notwithstanding the shock, was not interrupted for a moment in her progress; nor was her hull at all dam- aged. No delay in the departure of the ship was anticipated in consequence of the accident the only change of plan being the substitution of Portland for Holyhead as the point of de parture. The French and English Envoys to China, who were proceeding i:j all haste to Pekin, bearing the solemn treaties cf peace so lately celebrated by their respective governments with the Emperor of China, have met with a sad reverse ; and have retired leaving the dogs of war loose behind them. On the 17th of June, Admiral HOPE, with the conjoiued fleet of large vessels, and of gun-boats, the latter designed for conducting the Plenipotentaricsto Pekin, arrived at the mouth of the Peiho;and prepared to enter. After seeking in vaiu to communicate with the authorities on shore ; and after satisfying himself that although the Taku forts bad been rebuilt and strengthened, they were neither armed nor manned, he order ed the squadron of gun boats to advance.— Their advance was very soon obstructed by a formidable boom stretched across the stream ; and as they drew up along it, a murderous fire was opened from the forts on either side,which suddenly swarmed with troops and bristled with heavy artillery. After a gallant, but hopless struggle, the .boats hauled off, the American steamers in company assisting to save them ; but not before three of the boats were destroyed, and nearly five hundred men had been killed, wounded or drowned. A large number of men, including the Admiral, were in the category of wounded. In view of this unexpected disaster, the French and English envoys hud returned to Shaughae. Mr. WAHO, the American Miuister, in the meantime had met at Pekin with a gracious reception, a dis tinction which the English press bitterly re sents. The affair causes the utmost excite ment in Euglaud. £•£?*■ The satisfaction produced by the fav orable issue of the Scuatorial Conference is not participated in by our Democratic friends. They have been waiting in Macawber-like patience and anxiety for something to " turn up," and are not in an amiable mood. They must have patience, and perhaps bye-and-bye the sky may fall, and then they will have a scramble for the larks. s2j-The State Convention of the Republi cans of Massachusetts, for the nomination of candidates for State officers, assembled at Fitchburgh, Tuesday. The attendance of dele gates was very large, and the proceedings were characterized by great unanimity. All the present State officers were nominated for re election—Gov. BANKS receiving on the first ballot 027 out of the 712 votes cast. His nomination was made unanimous. ataf* The late storms have produced great freshets in the Delaware and Lehigh rivers, and flooded the towns on those rivers. PASSAGE OF THE DAMAGE BILL AND COL PIOLLETT. MR. E. O. GOODRICH — SIR: I hove been in formed that Col V. E. PIOLKTT, and others of bis kidney, have been reflecting very severely upou my course in passing a bill for the assess ment of damage on the line of the North Branch Caual, and at the same time justifying the action cf Mr. JACKSON, democrat, from Sullivan. Permit me to say briefly, that Mr. JACKSON and myself acted together from first to last, in the passage of that bill—never so much as differing once in our course or vote.— No movement was made by either of us with out consulting the other. Let me narrate the facts: The bill sent by the House* to the Senate, was returned—changed in some of provis ions—in fact a Senate bil' had been substituted for it. The House, 011 motion of Mr. Jack son and myself, engrafted upon it several amend ments, among them Section 10 of the original House bill, as follows:—"That no statute of limitation now in force in this Commonwealth, shall be set up as a legal defence by the pres ent or any future owners of tho North Branch and Wyoming Canals, to any of the claims contemplated by this act." The bill so amend ed, was sent back and the Senate concurred in all the House amendments except Sec. 10, as above, which was again stricken out. When the bill again came back to the House, Mr. SMF.AD moved to concur in the action of the Senate ; and briefly stated that he thought it unnecessary and imprudent for the House to stand out any longer upon a point which he considered immaterial; as lie did not think that sec. could in any manner affect the rights of the parties. Such action might result in defeating the bill entirely. I stated that I was not prepared to act that time—that I desired to take counsel upon the point at issue—that if by striking out the sec. the claimants would be deprived of all damages over six years old, the bill would be worthless, and I would pre fer none. Mr. JACKSON opposed concurring with the Senate. Upon the question to insist th<s yeas and nays were called, and the House insisted ou its amendment by a vote of 60 to 24. Mr. Jackson and myself voting to insist; Mr. SMEAD not voting. On my motion a committee of conference was appointed, consisting ot Messrs. JACKSON, WII.I.ISTON and myself. Mr. JACKSON tele graphed to Mr. LITTLE of Tunklmnnock for his opinion on the sec and advice how to act in the, remises, and immediately left for Philadel phia 011 business. In the mean time I took counsel of several lawyers in the House, and of Mr. CASEV, of Harrisbnrg, one of the best lawyers in the State, and at the preseut time State Reporter to the Supreme Court. They concnrred in the opinion that the Caual Co., could not set np the statute as a defence to those claims, and if they could, it was a right which accrued to them at the purchase of the canals, and we could not, now, by any legisla tion, deprive them of that right, or fix upon them a liability which they did uot then as sume. They regarded the section as immateri al. Mr. WILUSTO.V and myself met the Senate Committee, aud agreed upon the following re port : " That the Committee recommend that the House recede from it amendment non-con curred in by the Senate. Upon Mr. JACKSON'S return from Philadel phia, he found a letter from Mr. LITTLE, await ing him, in which he expressed substantially the opinion I had obtained from M. CASEY, and others, and he urged Mr. JACKSON not to let that point of difference defeat the bill Thereupon Mr. J., expressed himself satisfied and signed the report with Mr. WILI.ISTON and myself. The report was taken up twice, read and adopted tcilkout a dissenting vote. If Mr. J., did not vote for his own report, he is the only man that knows the fact. Certain it is, no man voted against it. In spreading these facts before the public at this time, I do not wish to do Mr. J. the slightest injury, politically or otherwise. On the contrary, 1 am free to say that his conduct throughout was open, manly and honorable, and he ought to be sustained by every democrat in bis district. Mr. SMEAD counseled, and act ed with us from first to last, never differing in his action from us except in the above instance, and the sequel shows bis views to have been correct, for we bad to come to them in the end. We were counseled and urged to the course we pursued by those of our constituents who were distinctly and personally interested in damage claims, some of whom are as good democrats as Col. PIOI.ETT, unless abusing members of the legislature for obeying their constituents adds very materially to one's democracy. Their names can be bud when required. I suspect our great offending consisted iu passing a bill at all. Had that remained an opeu question, that feathered songster, Col. PIOI.ETT, would have sung some most melan choly changes this fall, aud added some half dozen to his now almost deserted democratic fold. Yours for the truth, 0. 11. P. KINNEY. Con. FREMONT IN LUCK.—A letter from Cali fornia received in New York by the Star of the West, furnishes the following iutersting and we trust reliable information : You will be pleased to learn that silver ore of the most extraordinary- richness, has recent ly been found ou the Mariposa. I have ob tained a specimen from the men who discover, ed it. It is nearly all pure silver, being but slightly mixed with copper. We learn from another source, that this silver ore alluded to, contains 90 per cent of silver, and was found forty feet below the surface. The mine is on Col. Fremont's tract. This gentleman will have in sixty days on Merced river seventy-two stamps at work with plenty of water power, and capacity to work one hundred tons of ore a day worth from twenty to thirty dollars.a ton. LOCAL AND GENERAL Bva?" EDITOR OK THE REPORTER — SIR : The autbnrship'ol'a curtain Dialogue between Dave, Ac., lately published in the Herald , having been ascribed to me, permit me, through your paper, to relieve myself of that honor. lam not the author of that Dialogue, nor have I claimed to be. I wish that impression removed from the minds of the community for several reasons : I am indebted to the gentleman so wittily abused, for many persona 1 , favors, such as few, if any man in this coouty, Democrats or Republicans, could bestow. Moreover, I have some respect for the Judge as well as esteem for the man. It seems to me that we are fighting the great bat tles of Principles, not Men; and lam forcibly reminded of certain savage tribes, who reviled their enemies before the light began, with the foulest words of abuse ; but ran away as soon as the first arrow fell among them. In my view, the ideas ot Democracy are too g'and and pure to he defended by personalities. lam anxious to have the honor of the Dialogue authorship removed from my poor shoulders, because I find it pretty generally ascribed to me throughout the county, and it is very unpleasant to he insulted by one's friends.

It is beautifully illustrated with a steel plate engraving of " The old soldier and his family," colored and plain fashion plates,]illustrations of embroid eries. etc. It is published at $2 per annum, by T. S. Ar thur & Co., 323 Walnut street, Philadelphia. TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS.—A mistake oc curs in the County Superintendents notice of Examina tions as published by us last week, which should be noticed by every one interested. In place of December should be read November. There are no examinations in the former month. &A?" GRAPES. —In the window of II S. Mercur's store, hang some clusters of Grapes, which re mind us very forcibly of the pictures we have seen of the return of the Israe.'itish spies from the laud of Canaan, bearing a tremendous (pictorial) burden of grapes,to show the fertility of the land. We ueed hardly say, that these clusters, (not the Canaanitish ones) were raised by HAR RY MIX, in this place. MR. M., in our advertising columns, gives a brief history of several varieties of grapes, with the price, which he is prepared to fnrnish to al! who may desire to raise this finest and healthful of all fruits. The information contained in this advertisement is instructive and valuable. To those who know Mr. Mix and bis ar rangements, a word of recommendation is unnecessary ; to others, we can give assurance that in purchasing of him, they may rely upon finding everything exactly as represented, which is a great point in these degenerate days.

The Judges on animals will have regard to symmetry, early maturity and general qualities characteristic of the breeds—making doe allowances for the age, feeding and other circumstances connected with the age and condi tion of the animal. They will be careful in their report, to distinguish clearly the pedigree, whether full blood, grade or native.

The Judges on Agricultural productions will have re gard to quality and perfection as well as size and quan tity produced. In no case should they award a premium for an article of forced aud nnnatural growth , when the same has been produced at the sacrifice of every desira ble quality, the object being to give encouragement to such productions as arc moat perfect in quality, or size and quantity. The judges on agricultural and mechanical implements and manufactures, should have regard solely to the supe rior adaption, durability and general utility of all articles presented to them. Xo premium should be awarded tor articles merely for the superior workmanship exhibited in their construction, when the same does not possess the requisite qualities for utility and general usefulness. It will be the duty of the judges on articles not enum erated in the list, to award commendations and diplomas when in their judgment the extraordinary character or superior quality of the same shall merit; and when such articles, coming within the rules of the society, shall merit cash premiums they will recommend the same in their report to the Executive Committee, who wBl fix the amounts of such premiums. The judges will be expected in all cases in making their reports, to give a statement of the reasons which influ enced their decision, pointing out the superior qualities of the animals or articles to which the premiums are awarded. In no case will they award a premium when the animal is not worthy, though there be no compe tition. And when there is but one competitor, although he may show several animals in a class, or sub-division, only one preminm will be awarded ; that to be the fir?t or otherwise as the animal or article may be adjudged to merit.

The committee are anxious that the arrangements shall be full and complete, so that each department will have its full space, and each animal or article be properly exhibited.
