a verse, as a response, from Canaan's
Happy Sbore.") Nothing of special uote
happened on the road until we reached
Empire City, where We were Joined by
State Convention delegates from vir-
ginia city, and we all concluded to
haul up At the Yellow Jacket mill, and
pay our respects to Milton Elstner,
Esq, the Superintendent, who kindly
invited us to his mansion, and asked US
to take northumberland of.course we
all refreshed on lager, wine, cakes, etc.
Mr.. Elstner, so it IS said, is a most cfi-
cient and excellont business man at tho
Yellow Jacket mill, and seems to be tho
right man in the right place. There is
no man in the State Of Nevada whom we
have known longer than Mr.. Esther,
and he wears well by long acquaintance.
We both resided in a Town on the ILL
nois river in ls45-he as u merchant
and we as a newspaper publisher. Both
Of US came to tho Pacific coast eigh-
teen and nineteen years ago aud
both Of US have been alternately poor
and rich, aud rich and poor several
times-liks thousands Of other pioneers;
but we have both now struck the Fright

THE STATE ]coSvrSrio
The delegates from all the different
counties assembled in the Carson Thea
ire at precisely half-pas. l2 o'clock, and
were called to order by Hon. G. G. Ste
yenson, one Of the State Central Com
mittee. 1.-THE proceedings will be found
in another column Of the NEws.] Be-
sides the delegates, u large number of
spectators assembled to witness tho
proceedings, which were characterized
by harmony and good feeling through
out, and were concluded in about four
hours. The only speeches which wero
made, were by Hon. D. H. Haskell, of
E,meralda, who was elected temporary
President Of the Convention, aud by
Hon. A. W. Baldwin, permanent Prcsi-
dent. Although brief, both were excel
lent, and, judging by the hearty ap-
plause they received, expressed the senti-
ments Of every Union man present. Mr..
Joachimson, Of Nye county, who was
elected Secretary Of the Convention,
possessed most excellent tact and talent
for that position. We noticed a little
strategy for the next Senatorial fight
Cropping out" in the initiatory steps
for the management Of the Convention.
The friends of General Winters, as we'll
as the friends Of Senator Stewart, de-
sired to show their strength-but they
did it so slyly that but fow persons who
we're not in the secret detected the
Gnesse. II resulted in the Stewart men
getting the temporary organization, and
the Winters men getting the permanent
6rganizstion-which may be considered
q point in favor of Winters. We were
q good deal surprised that Governor
Nye's friends, especially the ormsby
delegation, did not offer u resolution
endorsing him as a candidate for the
Vice Presidency. It has been generally
believed that such action would be taken
AS, in the multiplicity Of candidates
named all oyer the Eastern and Western
States for the Vice Presidency, Senator
Nye might be taken up as a compromise
candidate from the host Of names, es-
pscially as he has been the only mar
named ON the Pacific Coast in connec-
ton with such q contingency. We
doubt whether 0rmsby county was as
we'll represented in the State Couyen-
ton yesterday rs it should have been.
Their blind stubbornness in refusing
to vote with the Storey delega-
ton lost them Colonel Curry as .
regular delegate to the Chicago Con-
veution. We have sometimes observed
in conventions only half.Aedged politi-
clans sitting as delegates, and who, in
their own estimation, know it ALL"
but the sequel generally shows that
such men have much to learn rs politi-
clans and statesmen. The resolutions
passed by the Convention are brief and
to the purpose, IA kind of muitum in
parvo,) and will meet tho hearty en-
dorsement Of the party. There were
two little incidents which came under
our observation about the close OF the
Convention, which are worth mention
ing, not because they amount to much,
but siuply. that they occurred The
Governor extended an Invitation to the
Convention TO visit tue Gubernatorial
mansion in n body-but, some how or
other, they didn't go in a body, nor IN
any other way, that we saw. It waia
slight we do not think Governor Bias
del merited, and IL should moi be repeat
ed. We suppose, however, that such OF
the delegates as remained in Carson du-
ring the evening, although fonr-fifths
of the delegates of the Convention left
before night, paid their respects to the
Governor. The other incident we mo-
ticed was, that our particular friend Tom
