Pitsburg, Aug. !

The Union State Convention, to Romin-
ate candidate for Governor and Judge OF
the Supreme Court, met to-day. The State
was fully represented in the convention by
an immense number Of strangers from all
parts of the State.
There was great excitement on the choice
for Gov, but Gov. Curtin had evidently the
inside track, and it was conceded early IN
the day would receive the nomination. The
friends of Covade and Morehead were ney-
ertheiss equally active.

RENTUcKy.-The elections for Govern
OF, members of Congress and State Off
GERS TOOK place on Monday of last week.
Nearly all, If not all, the candidates on
the union ticket for Congress are elected.
It is supposed the state gives union ma
jority Of about 10000. The position of
the union rarty Of Kentucky is uncondi-
tional loyalty slavery or no slavery; but,
they wgpt slavery saved if it can be done
without sacrificing The union and union
cause. They differ with the northern
Copperhe9ds as widely as the poles. mas
much as the latter are willing TO have the
union saved, provided slavery and the
democratic party are saved, otherwise, the
whole may 60 to smash. Kentucky
unionists and northern Copperheads are
separated in another respect: Kentucky
goes for voting all the men and money
needed for fighting the rebels; northern
Copperheads will vote neither men nor
money for any such thing, yet will go on
to keep up a vigorous fire in the rear, be-
get mobs, encourage desertions from the
federal army, &c, which is precisely the
platform carried on by the Breckenridge
democracy Of Kentucky.
