state Senator.

In referring to the proceedings Of our
late County Convention, the Cambria
Tribune of last week spoke as follows in
regard to the State Senatorship: "The
action Of the Convention in regard to the
State Senatorship was not contemplate
by many members of the Convention
MIR. Hall was not known to the Conven-
ton as n candidate desiring the Senator
ship, and his nomination was, therefore, an
entirely gratuitous compliment, for which
he had made no personal effort nor au-
thorized any friend to ask. We do not
know whether he would be a candidate.
even ii he fails in the Congressional con-
test; but since our Convention has taken
the responsibility of presenting his name,
we trust, after a little reflection, he will
drop the latter and announce himself as
candidate for Senator. His course in the
Senate, during the last three years, gave
general satisfaction to the people of his Dis
trict, and we believe it t. be the earnest
desire of his party friends to elect him
to that body. Such, at least, is the feel
ing in Cambria county, as strongly evinced
in the unsought action of her Convention,
and we notice that he is being urged in
Clearfeld for the nomination"

The County Ticket.

The Peoples County Convention which
assembled in this place on Monday of last
week, and placed in nomination Ticket
to be supported at the ensuing election.
was one of the most respectable and Or
derly of bodies that we have ever seen in
session. Each and every delegate who
took part IN Its proceedings seemed to be
fully impressed with the Importance of
the occasion, and manifested throughout
disposition of forbearance and concilia.
ton. Among all there was due sense and
appreciation of the dangers which threaten
our Nationality, and a corresponding wish
to do anything which might in the least
tend to foil the schemes of the wicked
consplrators against our beloved Union.
The patriotism which prevailed begat a
spirit OF harmony and good will, and in
dlvldual aspirations and the advance
ment of particular friends were alike lost
IN the general desire to do the right. and
to perform days work worthy of the
delegates and of their constituents. The
Convention with a liberality peculiar to it
sat with open doors, and thus presented
an opportunity to all conducting them
selves with propriety to witness It's pro-
ceedings. We, in common with others,
availed ourself of this privilege, and
therefore in speaking as we have done, we
have opl,r criva,, ,,.tara,oo e. II -.
and what we know.
The County Ticket nominated was ju-
diciously and fairly distributed, and is
unquestionably one of the BEST that was
ever presented for the sufrages of free
people. Col. JAMES COOPER, of Johns
town, heads the list as our candidate for
Assembly. His nomination was eminent
~ due the People of that locality, and in
him we have man whose worth and
qualifications are unquestioned and un-
questionable. Enjoying enlarged expe-
rlence, and having the finest social, moral
and business habits, he has the confidence
OF the public in an unlimited degree. The
People Of Cambria County have already
honored him, and we are sure they will
delight to do SO again.
For the Office of Prothenotary, the
Convention nominated Col WILLIAM K.
CARR, OF Nilmore, gentleman who is
well and most favorably known through
out the County. The Office for which he
is candidate is one of vast and varied
and duties, and in it the
People have peculiar interest To fill
1t properly, it requires an incumbent pos
sessiug that clerical aptitude, accommodate
ting disposition, and discipline of habits
which so characteristically pertain to our
nominee. The Colonel has never sought
official distinction, but now that he is
nominated tor position for which he is
SO thoroughly qualified, the People will
do we'll to elect him.

he will, if elected, discharge the duties Of
bis position with an eye only to the re,
quirements Of Justice The Office is one
OF the gravest importance; tho maa is
qualified for IL; and we teus! be may be
elected
JOHN ELDER, Of Chest Township, is
our nominee for the Office Of County Com,
missioner. The post Is one Of unspeak-
ab!o Importance to the taxpayers of our
county, and in selecting Mr. ELDER as one
qualified fer it, the Convention acted both
wisely and we'll. 1t has too often hap
pened that this Office has been under the
exclusive control Of our political opponents,
and nothing could better remedy this evil
than by giving Mr.. ELDER seat in its
Board, where his good common sense and
honesty of purpose would always be on
the side of Economy and Reform. Well
known to the people of our county, they
appreciate his many virtues, and will cor
daily yield him their vote and influence.
The Convention displayed its good sense
and judgment also in the nomination of
WILLIAM BERKsTREssER, of Susaue-
hanna Township, as Poor House Director.
This Is another Office Of great interest to
the taxpayer, and Mr.. BERKsTREssEa is
the very man to fill it. The objects and
purposes Of our Poor House are noble and
pralseworthy, but are sometimes liable to
abuse, and while, therefore, our nominee,
If elected, will see that the poor and the
unfortunate are well cared for, he will at
the same time take care that the county
is not imposed upon by unworthy charac-
ters. He deserves to be elected, and we
hope he viii be-

Affairs Or, the Peninsula.

The following paragraph, explanatory
OF the recent movements, resulting in a
weeks hard fighting, on the Peninsula,
is from the war correspondence of the
Philadelphia Press:
General Mcclellan has at length accom-
| pilshed the great scheme which engrossed
all his attention for the past two weeks
the transfer of his army, by flank move
ment, from the north and east of Richmond
| to the south and southeast of it, and the
change of his base Of operations and
source of supply from the Pamunky to the
Jauies river. Necessity compelled the
change, and never in military history did
an army more successfully and effectually
accomplish vancouver of so great mag
nitude. Troops had to march with all
their baggage supplies had TO be carried
along TO meet the hourly wants of the
Journey the enemy had to be hundred
times defeated as he pressed too violently
upon the Federal ,ear and 1anks sick
and wounded were to be cared for. and
when safe arrival upon the James river
was secured, supplies had to be provided
there with a profusion once in vogue at
White House. 1t was all done, and well
done. The movement was made; the
enemy beaten back the supplies secured:
the sick and wounded sent to hospitals.
and all completed in the short space Of
four days.
An army correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, in summing up the doings
of the week of battles, says
Those persons who are unfamiliar with
military movements will perhaps be lit
tie puzzled to reconcile the fact of our
repulsing the rebels so frequently, so uni
versally, with the fact that our armv con-
tlnued Its retreat after every contest, and
that IN such haste as to leave behind. on
the field, our dead, and such of the wound
ed as were unable to walk, thus abandon
ing them to the enemy. The explanation
is this:
The Commanding General, finding his
brave and heroic army on the field before
Richmond overborne by the pure force of
numbers, the rebels constantly pouring
IN hordes Of reinforcements, finding his
right flank turned, and being satisfied
that it would be difficult, if not impossible
to hold his position, he very naturally
detefmlned TO change 1t to one which
could be more easily defended. He deci
ded upon the point now occupied by his
army (where he can have the cooperation
Of the gunbcats) and having so decided,
the next thing to be done was to march
his army TO the point desired, in good
order.
The rebels followed and attacked him
as a matter of course But as often as
they attacked the loyal troops rcpulsed
them, not without considerable loss. how |
ever. In order to gain his point, viz, to
take up the position he desired on the
James river in order, without stampeding |
or panic in his ranks, after each repulse
of the rebels, he was obliged to hurry on |
to his destination with the greatest prac
teal speed, to do which he was compelled |
to leave The severely wounded on the field. |
The march or retreat or whatever else YOU
choose to call it, is regarded here as a re-
successful one, and the present
position of the army as entirely safe from
rebel attack
