Gentlemen : I have too hotior to ac knowledge your personal kiudtit-sa in pre senting to uic this day your letter fiu.-ialiy informing me of my nomination, by tlio Democratic National Convention, as a can didate for the Presidency of the U:i '- t States. The surprise with which I i-t&: rc i -ho intelligence of the nomination, w:.s u nnmingled with painful soiicituJ.-, and jet it is pre per forme to say thdt the mea ner in which it was conferred was pt t,u liarly gratifying. The delegation frim New Hampshire, with all tiie g.osv State pride and all the wan. th of personal regard, would cot Lave submiaed my name to the Convention, nor would ihy nave casta vote tor me, under circum.iun oes other than those which occurred. I shall always cheridh with pride and gratitude the recollection of the fact thai the voice which first pronounced fur me mod pronounced alone came from the Mother of States a pride and gratitude rising far above any consequences that can betide me personally. May I not regard it as a fact pointing to tbe overthrow of sestional jealousies, and looking to the perennial life aud vigor of a Union cotO' nted by the blood of those who have passed to their reward a Union wonderful in its formation, bonndless in its hopes, am.izing in its des tiny. I accept the nomination, relying npon an abiding devotion to the interests, the honor, and the glory of our whole C0untrybut) beyond and above all, npon a Power superior to all human might a Power which, from the first gun of the revolution, in every crisis through which we have passed, in every hour of our ac knowledged peril, when the dark clouds have shut down around us. has internosed. u if to baffle human wisdom, outmarch j human forecast, and bring out of darkness the rainbow of promise.

Years of time and millions of money would be saved to Philada., should Baltimore aid in making a road to Wmsport, which road as provided for in the Charier can be used by Philadelphians on the same terms as by Baltimoreans. The Western stockholders seem inclined to compel the Company to start from Williamsport, in accordance with the express understanding when they made their subscriptions.

Wilder, of Mass., is Preideut. The Convention dis cussed for s49ae tiro- the memorializing of Congress for tho establishment of an Ag ricultural Bureau ; the proposition was finally laid npon tho table, on account of its liability to " compromise" the interests of Agriculture with Politics. A resolution was finally adopted, recommending Con gress to do mnw.th.ing to fostsr that branch of National Industry. We are informed the Convention was fpirited, and respecta ble in size, but have our fears whether Cosgress will do anything in the premises, unless the Society point out and urge some tpeeijic ways and means.

The corner 6tone of the new Lutheran Church in this place, was laid on Friday last, June 25th. The day was pleasant, and a large concourse of people in attend ance. The opening exercises were held in the Methodist church, commencing at 10 o'clock A. M. An excellent and ap propriate sermon was preached by Rev. J. J. Reimansnyder, of Milton, from I. Cor. ; iii. : 16. " Know ye not that ye are the teioplo of God." lie was followed by Rev. R. Weiser in an animated address in reference to the numbers, merits, and ca pabilities of the Lutheran church, and her evident awakening to fresh life and ener- er, both in Europe and America. He also spoke of the great work God had given her to do in reaching and moulding our emigrant German population. The meeting then adjourned to the site of the new building, when the corner stone was laid, with suitable ceremonies, by the pas tor, Rev. 31. J. Alleman, and Rev. R. Weiser. Rev. Dr. Schmncker, from Gettysburg, was expected to preach the sermon on this occasion, and had engaged his seat in the stage to come, hut a heavy rain, conpled with precarious health, prevented his at tendance. The new church promises to be one sf the neatest and most commodious publio edifices in the place, and will be completed and read for use this fall X- Y. Z.
