CoMET.-The residents of Nevada were taken
BY surprise on Sunday evening, by the appear
ance Of magnificent comet in the northwest
ern heavens. The nucleus appears much larger
and brighter than that of the comet Of 1858, and
the tail much longer thoughless brilliant. When
seen yesterday evening, it had changed its po-
sition some ten or twelve degrees, and was Wis
ibie all last night. The tail extends up to the
zenith, and is visible to the naked eye for dis
tance of at least seventy degrees. 1t appears
now TO be travelling from the sun, and from the
apparent rapidity Of its movements we judge it
must be very near the earth.
THs NEVADA DELEGATIoN.-Thed delegates
elected to the State Convention from this county
were not selected with any reference to their
,,~,JoIot;o,,e for State oH;core aud an 70 ,,o
know are entirely unplcdged. They will exer-
else their own Judgment and make up their
minds as TO their course after they reach Sac
ramento. Conness and Casserly are supposed
20 be the most prominent aspirants for Govern
or, and as between them presume the dele
cation would be about equally divided. Major
l}idwell is the first choice of number of the
delegates, and perhaps would be the second choice
OF majority.

McCoSNELL's SPEEcH.-The Transcript OF

Mr.. Mcconnell delivered before the Conven-

differs slightly from that spoken in Convention,

Justify the South in seeding, but in other re-
spects his views coincide with those of the Sc
cessionists.
