The nominations made by the State Convention, which met in Colum bus, on Thursday, arc unquestionably the best ever presented to the people of that State. The nominees are not only talented, unflinching and radical Democrats, "bnt they are devoted friends of the Union, and are untinotirred by tbe in cendiary spirit of abolitionism. We entertain ho doubt whatover of the triumphant elcotion of / every’ man on the. Democratic State Ticket in Ohio.. For Governor, the present incumbent, Judge • Wood, was re-nominated by acclamation, which fact-atonce shows that the people of Ohio have fall congdence in his integrity and patriotism. For Lieut. Governor, Col. William. Medall, of Fairfield county, formerly a member of CongrcßS, was nominated.' He is a gentleman of decided abilities. , For the Supreme Bench, tho Wominees arc R. P. Ranncy, Wm. B. Caldwell, J ohn A. Corwin, Allen G. Thurman, T. ir. Vainley. These gen tlemen ore fine lawyers, and possess high moral qualities, which will secure., for the judiciary of Ohio the confidence and "respect of the people. Our old friend Wm. Pj. Morgan, Editor of the New Lisbon Patriot f "has received the nomination for Auditor of St' r.tc. A better man could not have been selected. He is “honest, capable and faithful to the'constitution.” For Secrct/jry 0 f State, Dr. Wm. Tef.vitt, of Columbus, van amiable and true-hearted Demo crat, ln/jj been placed in nomination. JoyiN G. Breslin, Editor of tbe Seneca Ad vertiser, and formerly Speaker of the House, was nominated for Treasurer. The public monies could not he confided ,to safer hands, Breslin was once a “printer’s devil.” . Geo. E. Pugh, formerly a member of the Legislature from Cincinnati, is the nominee for Attorney General. We are not personally ac quainted with Mr. P., but we know that he has the reputation* of being a talented lawyer. For the Board of Public Works, Col. Geo. W. Manypenny. Alex. P. Miller and James B, Steed man, have been placed in nomination—all good Democrats, who are familiar with the affairs of the State, and the wants of the people. : The'returns from Kentucky which we have re? ceived by telegraph the last two dayß, look de cidedly Democratic. Our gallant old Rooster, who has been cooped up for a long time, seems very much inclined to unfold his wings, and give one loud, long and hearty crow 1 We shall give him some Democratic corn for a few dayß, . and if Poweli* is elected Governor, we shall certain ly “lot him loose.” Then the way he will mount “ that same old coon ” on tho oider barrel, and scream out “Victory! victory!” will bo refresh ing and soul-cheering to Democrats! jggy»Tlie Gazette publishes the advertisement for the organization of the Pittsburgh and Steu benville Railroad, but does not say one word about the matter editorially. The reason is plain. This is essentially a Pittsburgh Railroad, and Deacon White is opposed to it, because all his interests and feelings are centered in Allc ghenytown,- let the business men of Pittsburgh remember this. Nr.w Counterfeits'— The. Albany Evening Journal says there is a counterfeit five on the Bank of Sullivan in circulation. .The engraving, and general appearance of the bill is excellent rendering detection very difficult. The one we have aeon is darker than the original, and the signatures are not exact- imitations. It will re quire very close examination to distinguish the counterfeit from the genuine. ■ ' We learn from the Rochester American, that a new counterfeit of the denomination of ss,’on the Thames Bank, Norwioh, Ct., are in circula tion in that city ;—B.

The Pennsylvanian of Monday brings ns the proceedings of a Mass Meeting of tho Democracy of Montgomery, Chester, 'Delaware, Lancaster and Philadelphia counties, which assembled on Saturday last,, at the Spread Eagle, in Delewaro county. It was a most gratifying and harmo nious assemblage, says Col. Forney, who was present The . Editor of tho Upland Union, Alex.-Mo’Keever, Esq., presided on the occa sion. Col. Bigler, our candidate for Governor, was present, and was warmly and enthusiasti cally greeted by the assembled massesa. He addressed tho people for the: period of about’ an hour and a half, in-a speech of remarkable clear ness, ability and eloquence. The meeting was also addressed by Hon. Okas. Brown, Col. J. W. Forney, E. A. Penniman Esq., Hon . John hPNair, of Montgomery, and Richard R. Young, Esq.., of Philadelphia. Col. Forney closes hisaccount of the meeting by saying: “Our political friends brought us good news from all quarters. We met numbers of old acquaintances from Chester County. They were all eager for the .fray, and resolved to give the whole ticket a sure and uni ted support. Taken altogether this waq one of the happiest meotmgs we ever attended, and it cannot fail to produce the happiest results.” OUR BOOK TABLE, - 1 Messrs. D.

The Pennsylvania Farm Journal. —We con gratulate our agricultural friends, as well ns the publisher, on the many promising indications which have attended the publication of this pe riodical. It lias now reached its fifth number, and is evidently growing in the favor of the far mers and gardeners of our state, and we have the assurance of those who are competent to judge,- that it ments a place on the table of every mnn who is nmbitious to excel in agricultural pursuit. It contains a judicious selection of ar ticles, scientific and practical, on all branches of rural economy, and there aro very few who cun read a single number of it without deriving real instruction on agricultural and horticultural sub jects. We trust that our'country friends will call and get it and examine its merits for them selves. It is only one dollar a year, and can be seen at 11. Miner’s.

Daguerre. —Tho death of tlic celebrated discover of the daguerreotype took place suddenly at Brie, a village near Paris re cently. Ho distinguished himself early as a scene painter, by tlic happiness of his effect in light and shade. The chapel of Glenthorn, at Die Ambigu, tho Rising of tho Sun in les Mcxi cains, were saluted by the audience with en thusiastic applause. His inventive genius then erected the Diorama. Every one remembers the series of enormous pictures of cathedals, of Alpine scenery', producing almost tho effect of illusion upon the spectator, and diversified by magical changes of light, which M. Daguer re exhibited in the llcgent’B Park, London; Lat er, he succeeded in immortalizing liis name, by fixing the images of the camera obscure, ami realizing, in an instant, effects which lcavo at an immeasurable distance tlic most elaborately-fin ished engraving. Postaoe Stamps. —Many of the postmasters in the county labor under the impression that postage stamps cannot bo used except at tho office where they are purchased. This is a mis mistakc. When stamps aro forwarded to a post master they are charged to him in his account, and at the end of each quarterhe receives cred it for tho amount remaining unsold. In the ac counts of mails sent and received there arc sep arate columns for tho entry of letters paid in money and those paid by stamps. And postage btamps in the hands of the holder will pay the postage at any office in the. United States, with out regard to tho place where they were pur chased. Irf.land and America. —Ireland is likely, wo are happy to state, to enjoy the benefits of steam communication with America. The New 5 ork Sun soya that a steamship is now.building, and will be ready for-sea by the Ist of December, which iB intended to ply between that city and Galway, stopping at Halifax on tlic route. Tho contract with thcbuildcris that the steamer shnll moke tho trip between Galway and Halifax in six dayß, otherwise the parties contracting for the vessel nro'SShberty to reject her. The steamer is to be of . the largest size, with accom modation for 800 to 1000 second class passen gers, besides having accommodations for first class passengers. The Wheat Crop of 1851.—The reports from the various grain-growing parts of tho Union, indicate that the wheat orop of the present year will be the heaviest ever taken from the earth in the Western States. In Ohio, the crop is ayoiy large and fine one. In New York, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, the yield is also very large, and the wheat of the very best quality.— In Michigan, particularly, the yield exceeds any thing over known, even in Michigan, In - the northenrand western parts of tho State, and al so in the southern tier of counties, the wheat is said to reach from one quarter to one-third higher than at any previous season. It is the samewith every other specie of grain except corn. Treaty with the Sioux Indians. —A. tele graphic despatch, bearing date on Wednesday last at Mendota, Minnesota Territory, was re ceived in Washington on Friday, from the Hon. Luke Lea, Commissioner of Indian Affairs,; by which, it appears, that the object of his mission to that region of country had beon partially ac complished, by tho making of a treaty with the uppor bands of the Sioux Indians. No particu lars are given in the despatch. The commis sioners (Mr. Lea and Gov. Ramsey) had appoint ed the 31 st, to meet the - lower bands at Mendo ta, for the purpose of also forming a treaty with them, and expected to return home in a few days afterwards. ■■■» : A Flyino Machine for twenty-fivf Per sons.—The Now York Tribune describes an ae rial steamboat now being built in that city, largo enough to carry 25 persons, and fuol for 4 hours. The car is 64 feet in length, and the float con taining the gas has the capacity of 95,000 cnbic feet, with a lifting capacity of 6,500 pounds:— The engine is of 12 horse power and very per fectly constructed. The exact means of propul sion, are not described. Mr. T. Robjohn is tbe designer and builder of this curious affair, which is now nearly completed. V . ’■ • See.. s^vTr.^-;^ More Knocking.

Suicide on board the Atlantic. —When tho steamer Atlantic, which arrived at Now York on Sunday morning, w«b two days out from Liver pool, the passengers were startled by hearingtbe report of a pistol. It. apparently camo from the stato-rooffi'of a Mr. Day, a respectable and weal thy merchant of Boston: On entering tho room, to the astonishment and horror of. all on board, Mr. Day was found weltering in lub blood, having allot himself in tho head. Having applied the pistol to the car, the ball went upwards and did not cause immediate death. Tho unfortunate man lingered for two days in excruciating agony. Capt. West, at the solicitation of tho pnssengera, conveyed the remains to New ! ork. - Lite Insurance Companies. —The Legisla ture of Now York at its last session passed a law that all Life Insurance Companies doing business hi that State, must, for the security of the insured deposito with the Comptroller of tlic State $50,000 at once and alike sum before the first of February next. Only eight out of twenty nmo companies have yet complied with the law. They are, The Albion, of London; tho United States, tlic New York Life, tlic Mutual Life, the Manhattan, and the New York Life and Trust, of New York; the Mutual Ccnefit, of Now Jer sey; and the New England, of Boston.

Mr. Jordan, who has for many years edited the London Literary Gazelle, is engaged in pre paring Ins Reminiscences and Correspondence, Ac., during the last forty years for publication.

The mortal remains of Madame Letitia (moth er of the Emperor Napoleon,) and of Cardinal Fcsch, have been removed from Rome to Ajac cio, in Corsica, tlic native place of the Bona parte family. The Corsican papers of the Bth instant contain long accounts of tho ceremonies at the reinterment of the bodies. None of the members of the Bonaparte family appear to have been present. The London journals announce the death, at Rydal. of Mr. Edward Quillinan, son-in-law to the poet Wordsworth, and knowu in the select, rather than the wide world ofiettors, osapont, a scholar, a contributor to more than one literary publication, and the author of one or two sub stantive works.

Johnston is certainly an adept at sinking the funds of the Commonwealth. On examining the appropriations made for tho payment of ex penses in tlie Exccutivfhunl State departments, and comparing the last three years of Gov. Shunk’s administration with tho three past years of Johnston, we find thntJobnston had abstracted from tlic treasury during that time the snug little sum of $8,212 83, more than was required to meet all expenses under Shank's administration. At thatrate how long will it take Johnston and his Galphius to sink the entire funds of the Com monwealth? Wo have a bill of particulars of tho modus ope rand! of this system of sinking the public funds, which wo will spread before oar renders in duo time. At present we will mention but two:— 1. The singlo item of postage for the last : year is nearly double what it was in somo years un der Gov Shunk. 2, The item of clock hire is now put down to $4,500; while formerly it was but $3,000. The funds are certainly sinking.— Investigator. Bate from Tcxoi.-lKarleri, Lynching, Ac.

Dr Peebles, who was also present, struck tho negro with aloaded whip. Tho servant then turned upon his own maßter, and had it not been for the timely interference of other negroes, the Doctor would himself have been killed. A jury, oomposod of citizens of the neighborhood, gave the negro a fair trial, and sentenced lum to be hung. This sentence was carried into effeot on Monday morning, the 7th ultimo.” French Merino Sheep. —Mr. S. W. Jewett, of Vermont, an intelligent writer on husbandry, has recently imported into this country, at a cost of $30,000, an improved breed of French Meri no Sheep. They are pure descendants from the government merino sheep of Spain, the exporta tion of which from the country was, at one time; death. Mr. Jewett has made his purchases, partly from tho' government flock, and partly from the few formers in possession of the remain der.: Tho Frenoh government limit themselves to a certain number, and each year sell at auc tion the snrplus; of this opportunity, last spring, Mr. J. availed himself. The average weight of the imported breed is 200 lbs. a head; they shear from 12 to 201bs. each, thus doubling and quadrupling the ordinary amount attainable. The worth of the wool is attested by the price brought at the late sale at Rambouillet, in Franco, where rams: were disposed of at $4OO, and a flock of ten lambs were estimated at $l,- 800. The enterprise of-the importer, it is said, has met with fair success.

Frau Drying Apparatus, The host means of preserving the . lurplut of the vast fruit crops which will in a few years be raised in all parts of the country, cannot fail to become a matter of general .’interest!'" Wo copy from the last number of the Michigan Farmer, the following description of a fruit drying home, which appears to ho a good one, hut we would suggest the use of hue netting made, of hard twisted twine, instead of lath screens; and a good ventilator at tho top of the building for the free egress of the boated air as it becomes continu ally loaded with the moisture of tiio fruit. The free circulrtion of the air, so essentia! to rapid drying, would doubtless lie facilitated by allow ing a space between the screeus and the outer Wall.

A Spunky “Bloomer.”—A young lady recent ly appeared at a hall in a neighboring city dress ed in short skirts and pants. The gentlemen ad mired her neat and comfortable dress, but sev eral ladies accused her of being immodest.
