TIT.URSDAY DIORNLNO, JUNE 3, 11358 The county llominatlona. . Yesterday was fibusy and exciting day. The County Convention was the centre of observa tion, and its deliberations were crotched with the mast profound interest. We found it ah sorbed so much of our own attention that we web Unable to prepare any other editorial mat ter fer to-day's paper, and must plead the gen eral interest in the nominations as our excuse. The Convention was the largest ever 'assem _ bled in the county. Every district was repre sented, and (which ITU very remarkable) there were no contested seats. At 10 o'clock A. M., the delegates aSsenabled at the Court House: but the crowd was so dense that an adjournment to some more Commodious room woe found im perative, and Lafayette Hall was selected. Of course, with such a large number of dele gates (131), and with the largo list of offices to be Ailed, Cho ballots were tedious and prolong ed. They extended lath into the night, and at the time of this writing (10 o'clock, P. M.) the list of nominations is not complete. The best of feeling prevailed throughout the day; and although each Ulan strove earnestly to promote the success of his candidate, there waa no bad feeling manifested. We subjoin the list of uMninations made; and regret that tha late hour to which the balloting was prolonged, prevents us from indulging to • any remarks upon the nominees. We shall glee oar opinions to-morrow, frankly, and wiihont reservation : C r oluress-- .21et District—,i. K. Moorhead. 22d .‘ Robert McKnight. Arses::l•lse—J. Heron Foster, l'iitshargh. . Elias 11.

To VIE: Prx.—The fullowing pleasant little paragraph, which, ac Captain Cattle would say, should be "made a note of," appears in the correspond2nce from the seat of war in India, of an English provincial journal: am near closing this letter without men tionint the arrival and departure of Russell, the greaigtin of the Times. lie was raceived here with great distinction by the big wigs, and Lord Canning hastened to invite him to dinner, and !low him every politeness in his power. He has been fawned upon and carrossed by the higher gneiss of civilians, and an immense pa rade of candor has been ahown on all side,: and, whet is still mere, he has been allowed aceees to documents which have been kept re ligiously hidden from all other eyes. Every fa cility was given hire to reach Allabaliad in safety and comfort, and it was really delightful to see the terror ho inspires wherever he goes." Mums concerti is ezpressed in Cougres and elsewhere, iu regard to the retina of various members of the House of P.cpspfentatives, who have signalized their zeal by fiTelity to the pub lic service, and derodon to the interests of their constituents. Among this number, the lion. John Corcde, of the Westmoreland District, stands conspicuous, for no man on either side has boon more assiduous in the discharge of alt his duties, more efficient as a practical Itgiala tor, cr_nlia enjoys, more generally and deserv edly, the respect and fullest cenfidenee of all forties. Without aiming at any display on the floor, he hoe sought always to promote the pros perity of Pennsylvania, and his own immediate pa !,„ and, if lie had been sustained with cor• responding evertions, they would not be pros trate and paralyzed as they now are: Such reprinfentatives are needed in Congress, because the experience they have acquired renders them more useful,- while their moral standing gives to them an. influence not otherwise easily obtained. —lFafft.

The Scotch pau pers mustered 99,718 in number, and the Irish 60,582. It is a gratifying and singular fact, that pau perism in Ireland has diminished to a most ex traordinary extent. In IS:A there were G 0,747 pampers in Ireland, which, as oampared to filly thousand odd, is a very gratifying diminution. This is attributable to the.
