After calling the roll, a motion was made to go into a-temporary organization, and Messrs.-Maxwell and Lawrence being put in nomination for President pro tem. Mr. Maxwell was elected by a vote of 75 to 45. Mr. Maxwell upon taking the chair, thanked the Convention for tne high hon or imposed upon him, and said that as his duties would be brief, bo wonld his re marks. .He said that this waß no time to indulge in party spirit; that there could be no neutralß ; that there • were but two parties, one for, and one against the Gov ernment. He hoped that during the ac tion of the Convention, union and harmo ny would be the watchwords, and that nothing would be said that would make any person carry away with him feelings of lil will or resentment, and that all wCt»Jd go home prepared to work for the meeessof the nominees of the Convention. At ths-olose of his remarks it was sug gested 'hat Mr. McPherson continue to lot as "Secretary, and he accordingly re sumed the duties. On motion of Wm. B.

On motion —it being nearly two o’clock —the Convention adjourned until half past three. AFTERNOON SESSION. A resolution was offered to the effect that all resolutions in regard to candidates, or declarations ot principles, bo referred to the committee on resolutions, and that no member be allowed to speak more than fifteen minutes upon any one subject, and not more than once npon that subject. It was,cuoved to amend by inserting ten minutes, in place of fifteen. Accepted. At this juncture a violent debate took place in regdrd to the resolution, the mi nority charging that the majority wished to take an unfair advantage of them. As this feeling Beemed to prevail, in order to prevent bad feeling, the original motion was withdrawn. The Committee on Credentials reported in favor of the following gentlemen, whose seats were contested: B. Hamilton, C. P. Waller, Benj. Hartshorn, G. F. Mason, Linden, M. C. Marker, JohnS. Ha.'ker and D. Barclay. JuuAeTracy. ofßrodford county, against whom coromittee had decided in favor of Ex Senator Bev. Geo. London, arose to complain of the injustice done him by the committee. He was frequently inter rupted, and at length one of the members moved to allow each defeated member fif teen minutes to explain his position, or make any remarks he might see proper. The naAies being called, noue responded except Judge Tracy, who attributed his defeat to-political huckstering. Mr. Lon don replied at some length'. It was aston ishing with, what urbanityand suavity of manner these gentlemen abused one an other, and theparticnlar wing of the party that eadh 'belonged to, but they survived it; the eonvenuon-wasboredmth. three, tong and tiresome speeches upon a matter they cared .little, or nothing about, and then they" proceeded with the report of the committee, which was adopted name by name.

Todd upon taking the chair, re marked that he would be wanting in com mon sensibility if he failed to express hie gratitude for the compliment paid him in selecting him out of the large number who compose the Convention, to preside over its deliberations. So far as he was able, he would earnestly endeavor to do his du ty fairly and honestly. A great trust was m j ? lr a °d it lay with them to at vr oDe ? tly and faithfully to its keeping. a ® “f® of the nation had been stmck at, and it was tbe duty of every man to stand by his country in its endeavor to crash out this wicked and unholy rebellion. They should have but one desire—that of se lecting candidates worthy of the party.— can or OQr country and then go home, and do the beat we can tor our candidate. He hoped that a few hoars would complete their labors, and I then they could all go home and let the I people know that the great, firm heart oe.it true to the stars and Btripes,. and we I would triumph. 1 Mr. McVeigh moved that the Conven tion go into nomination for Governor. A motion was made, pending the ques tion on Mr. McVeigh’s motion to hear the re P® of the Committee on resolutions. Ta ® chairma ® of the Committee stated jr re ®°l Q ti onfl were not complete and asked for time to report. . Il aow became evident that it was the intention of the minority to endeavor to worry the Curtin men into a withdrawal of their man, or else weary their patience so i that they would withdraw, er a sufficient I number of them would withdraw to give ! them a chance. They lugged, plead and entreated them to join upon some new man, representing £the most deplorable consequences in case Gov. Curtin should be nominated. Failing in all else a motion was made to adjourn, which was lost by a large majority. Mr, Cummings then offered the fol’ow mg preamble and resolution : Whereas, Antagonism at onoe deplo rable and bitter has sprung up between the friends of the leading candidates, both of whom have rendered conspicuous Ber* vices to the country ; and The existence of this feeling will impair the efficiency of either ot them, and endanger the succeßS not only ot the Gubernatorial nomination, but the Judicial and Legislative also. Then be it Resolved, As the sense of this Conven tion, that tbe beet interests of the country and of the Union party of the State re quire the nomination of an acceptable candidate, whose removal from recent disturbing causes would give greater pro mise of cordial, united and successful sup port, a duty at all times imperative, but doubly so at the present crisis, which de mands of every good citizen tbe surrender of every local and personal feeling or pre possession when required by the public good. Lost by a vote of 40 ayes 80 noes. At this stage of the proceedings another member called for the report of the Com mittee on Resolutions, stating that he wanted to know what tfi'e platform was before he pat a candidate upon it. The question, “ Snail the Convention go into nomination for Governor,” was then called for, and being pat, was car ried. The name of Andrew G. Curtin was then placed in nomination, which was re ceived by the audience with mingled shouts of applause and hisses. The con fusion at length became so great that the chair was obliged to administer a rebuke, which quieted the shouting, but the hisses still continued for some little time. A gentleman rose and said that Gover nor Curtin had pledged himself not to be come a candidate for re election, and wished to know if any one present had the authority to retract the Governor's pledge; that it was a part of the public re cord, and he wanted the convention to thoioughly understand the matter. A strofig debate followed, which amounted to nothing more than the safe - delivery of a number of members, who, existing in an artificial atmosphere of bombast, were pregnant with what is vulgarly denomina ted —gas, the main object being evident — to retard the proceedings of the conven tion, and weary the patience of the oppo sition. A member then moved that H. D. Moore be declared the nominee of the Convention. This was ruled to be out pf order, no 4 the Convention proceeded to : nominate as follows: H. D. Moore, Jno. ‘ Covode, J. !L Moorhead, J. P. Penny, tygt. B • Thomas, Major Francis Jordan, Gr B‘"Wster, and James Veech. The nol J'tfi9&°#s tbpn were declared closed. a, (Close of the nominations, Mr. Jno M of Philadelphia, handed the ' Secrete.'’' ®- ,ett « r /f 00J . Mu Cavode, that ha not be placed in nomine.. na “ Ia na h?e was withdrawn. The resolution to non.' a new man was again passed, and Mr. "9° re was put forward as the most tradable, but the measure was again defeate. • The motion to proceed with the bn cor ing, was put, and carried. In sheer desperation the minority now moved an adjournment. A motion to ad journ being always in order, the President was obliged to take the sense of the Con vention. Other members beggeffto have it withdrawn, but to no purpose, and the ayes and noes were called for, which re sulted in a vote of 18 ayes and 100 noes,' Ail the nominees having been withdrawn exoept the following, the voting com menced, resulting sb follows: A. G. Cur tin, 90; J. P. Penny, 18; H. D. Moore, 17; F. C. Brewster, 8; J. K. Moorhead, 1. The result was announced amid the most deafening shonts of applause, inter mingled with hisses. After order was re stored, the Chair formally announced that A. G. Curtin, having received a majority of all the votes cast, was the nominee of the Republican party for re-election to the office of Governor. A motion was made to make the vote nnanim ons. A request was made to with draw the motion, as there were members present who would not vote for it, but the motion was pressed and lost. A motion was then made to go into nomination of Jndge of the Supreme Court. Mr. McVeigh hopod thatthe con vention would adjourn, and give the com mittee on resolutions time to perfect their report. The motion to adjourn was then putmnd lost. A namber of gentlemen then urged upon the convention the ne cessity of having tho report of the com alittee on resolutions coinpleteuj so that it coaid be bres,ented, anu acted upon, and after souhe- debate the quCstion to ad journ was then pnt and carried, and the convention adjourned until nine o’clock P. M. NIGHT SESSION. « i At nine o’clock the Convention reas sembled, and after being called to order, D. Agnew, Esq., of Beaver county, was unanimously declared a candidate for the office of Judge of the Supreme Court by declamation. Mr. McVeigh, as chairman of the Com mittee on Resolutions then announced that the committee was ready to report, and the resolutions were submitted and received with an immense amount of noise and confusion, and finally adopted. A number of other resolutions in appro val of the coarse of the President and Cabinet were then offered and adopted, after much discussion. The Convention I thep gave three cheers for the flag and the | Union, and adjourned. I Heart-Rending Occurrence. Mr. Jameß Ray who resides on Sandus ky street, Allegheny, received a telegraph ic dißpatch on Tuesday afternoon, stating that three of his children had been drown ed. On Monday they had been sent to Darlington on a visit to some friends, their mother intending to follow them yes terday, she having remained behind with their only remaining child, their oldest..— Mr. Kay was for sametime Superintendent or the Gas Works, and is well known.

PAYMASTER ROBBED, England and America LATE FOBEIGN NEWS, LATE MEWS FROM HAVANA, Teachers’ National- Convention, Ac,, &c., Washington, August >5. —The draft has been completed. It gives an aggregate of 3,700 white and 1,253 colored conscripts. Army Paymaster McFarland had 40,000 dollars stolen from his room laßt night.

Washington, Ang. 6.—The National Republican contains on editorial to which much Bemi official importance is attached. It says among other things : If there shall be a slight occasion for hostilities, and the two nations are likely to bo involved in war, our steam marine will be at once converted into privateers, and the com merce of Great Britain be driven from the ocean. Thns does the Commercial neglect of the Queen of England's advia ers tend to disturbance and to the peace 0 • ul* War is not desirable, even with England, but war is not the greatest of evils. A nation of spiritc]annot submit to injustico, to insolence and outrage through a series of years and make no ef fort to avenge its wrongs. The course of England during the trying period of our troubles has alienated every American of the loyal states, whatever may be his I opinion upon the administration or the conduct or the war. The machinations of Napoleon in Mexico deserves atten tion, but the country should bear in mind the great feet that the United States can restore Mexico to its place as a Republic whenever the attempt shall be made, ar.d indeed it ianot improbable that Napoleon wjl! find excuse for quitting the position which promises no good to the French Empire.

IFrom Iha.lonlsvllle Jonrna ,J Wo hoar many rumors of attempts to swindle the Government, and of the efforts made by contractors to elude the vigilance of the inspecting officers, bat the general public has very little idea how wanton, reckless and criminal the conduct of some persons has been. A lot of 816 horses received from Captain Lee at Coldwater for the Government, contained seventeen blind of one eye, twelve blind of both eyes, four with weak eyes, twenty-one with heaves and wind broken. Oat of the whole three hundred and fifteen, the board rejeoted two hundred and eleven, or two thirds of the entire number I The best horses examined have been received from Capt. Potter at Chi cago; out of two hundred and twenty-five only sixty-two were rejected. Those re-, ceived about a month since from Captain Dennison, at Cincinnati, were the worst' kind. Out of seven hundred and fifty mules but five were accepted, and the horses were rejected in about the same proportion. The lot seems to have cleared I the vicinity of Cincinnati of all its bad stock, for nothing has since been sent from i that quarter. We suppose a person want- j ing to buy a horse there now could make his bargain blindfold, as the market has been raked and scraped for all the unsound animals. These facts are discreditable to all con cerned ; to the contractors who bny,and to the officers who are so careless in their hrst examinations. The tricks of the jockey nre transferred from the low race course and the horse market to the supply of our army iu its now most important arm. There are at present at Oakland, near this city, over fifteen bnndred reject ed horßos, and, despite the frightful expo sure of the rapacity and criminality of con tractors, we understand that the horses and mules received at this point are the best that have been furnished by the Gov ernment. What herds of broken down animals must have teen offered in other localities I While the interests of the country and the safety of the army are thna endangered, it is of the first import ance that we should have a supply of good horses* No wonder that we cannot mount cavalry fast enough, or that, when mount ed, the animals do not last more than two or three months. One regiment at Nash ville has had three fresh supplies since Christmas, and how many more have been under the same necessity we cannot tell; '‘J j 3 probable that all the regiments which have been actively engaged are in the = ame condition. Priiso Veasels Condemned —V h e Peterhoff Case. ■Culge Belts, of New York, has con demned the prizes PetgrhoCF, Qertrnde, Stephen Hart and Springbok for construe live violation of the blockade. The valoe ot the condemned steamers and their car goes is estimated at ahont two million of dollars.
