Corwin and Schenck Rebuked.-The whigs of Montgomery county held their nominating convention on Saturday last. A correspondent of the Ohio Statesman says:

"After the candidates were chosen, a resolution was offered approving the course of Corwin and Schenck in reference to the war, which was almost unanimously voted down. The friends of Schenck took the alarm, and moved a reconsideration, when the resolution was, by a bare majority, laid on the table."

This is a most scorching rebuke. The whigs of Schenck's own county could not stand an approval of his course,--and the more sagacious of the politicians, we presume, were afraid to base their party action upon any such grounds. The Montgomery Representative is not the only one who will, in good time, be repudiated by the people.
