PETERSBURG, May Z, 1856.

PETERSBURG, May Z, 1856.
In giving you the election returns yesterday, ]
Incorrectly stated that Mr.. John s. Weeks was
elected as one of our city baihffs. Mr.. Weeks was
a candidate, but not assuccessful one, Mr. w. T.
Peterson being elected over him bya handsome
majority.
The Democratic Convention for this district ad-
journed last night after having elected Messrs R.
X. Meade of Petersburg, and Lewis E. Harvie of
Amelia, rs delegates to Cincinnati The conven-
tion was remarkably well attended, and the best
feeling seemed to prevail. A strong disposition
existed with most of those present to commit the
delegates to the support of Pierce, but it final
ly thought best to have them untrammelled, in or
der that the Virginia delegation might rally unani-
mously around whoever should prove the most
available candidate
Governor Wise has just complimented one of
our most popular and gallant citizens, Capt Joseph
v Scott, by appointing him an aid de camp to his
Excellency, with the rank of Colonel of Cavalry.
Burglaries and petty thefts are now of nightly
occurrence here. The Council has recently ap-
pointed strong night watch "a novelty here,) but
so tar they seem to have done but little tow ards
checking these rascaly proceedings.
Green peasl and strawberries have lately made
tnelr appearance among us. They are brought
oy Adams g. Co.'s Express from Charleston and
augusta, and sell at price entirely out of reach
