A Yankee Trick.
Soma years ago, before railroads
wiire,*unted,a_cute Massachusetts
Yankee was one day travelling in a
•stage in the State of Connecticut. The
passengers stopped for breakfast at a
:place whore the landlord was noted for
.his parsimony; and it was strongly
'suspected that ho paid the driver to
laurry off the stage before the passer'.
igers could eat half a meal, in order to
save his victuals. The Yankee heard
this talk, and ho sat down to breakfast
with the determination to eat his mon
ey's worth whether the stage left him
•or not. While, therefore,, the rest of
itho passengers were bolting their vic
=tuals at the greatest possible haste, the
;Massachusetts man took his time. The
?passengers had scarcely finished a cup
coffee, and ate two or three mouth
when they heard the sound of the
lhorn, and the driver exclaim, "Stage
:ready 1" Up rise the grumbling pas.
:sengers, pay their fifty cents, and take
'their seats.
"All aboard,• gents ?" inquires the
lost.
"Ono missing," said they
Proceeding to the dining room the
host finds our Yankee friend very
coolly helping himself to an immense
piece of steak, the size of a horse's hip.
"You'll be left, sir ! Stage is going to
start?"
"Waal, I hain't got nothing tow Bay
main IL"
l'Can't wait, air; bettor take your
Seat."
"I'll ho gaud darned of I dew, nether,
till I've got my breakfuss I I've got
tow pay my half a dollar, and I'm goin'
to get the 'Talkie on't ; and of you cat
kalate I ain't, yew air mistaken."
So the stage did start, and loft the
hungry Now Englander, who contin
ued his attack of the eatables. Bis
cuits, coffee, steaks, etc., disappeared
rapidly before the oyes of the aston-
ished landlord.
"Say, squire, thorn there cakes is
'?bout east; fetch us nuther grist on 'em.
You, (to the waiter,) nuther cup uv
that ar coffee. Pass them eggs. Raise
yewro own pork, squire 2—this is ama
:zip' nice ham. Land 'bout year° tol
erable cheap, squire, I callate? Don't
lay yowre own eggs, do ye ?" and thus
:the Yankee kept quizzing the landlord,
until he had made a hearty meal.
"Say, squire, now I'm about to con
`elude payin' 4ny dewours to this table,
but if yo'wd jist give me a bowl of
bread and ;OE tow sorter top off with,
bo much obicoged tew yo."
So out goes the landlord and waiter
for the bowl, milk and broad, and sot
Pom before the Yankee.
."Spoon, tew, if you please !•'
But no spoon could be found. Land
jord was sure that he had plenty of sil
-vor ones lying on the table when the
- stage stopped,
"Say 1 dew yew think thorn passon•
gore is goin' to pay yew for a break..
Piss and not git no compensation ?"
"AU what! do you think any of
the passengers took them ?"
"Dew I think ! No, I don't think;
but I'm martin. If they aro all as
green as you about here, I'm gob) tew
locate immediately and tew oust."
Tho landlord rushes out to the sta•
ble and starts a man off after the stage,
which had gone about three miles.
The man overtakes the stage, and says
something to the driver in a low tone.
He immediately turns back, and on
arriving at the hotel our Yankee comes
out to take his seat and says :
"How air yew gents ? I'm glad
tow see yew back."
"Can you point out the man you
think has the spoons?" asked the land
lord.
"Pint him out Sartil4l I hen.
Say, Squire, I paid you four nine
liences for a breakfuss, and I collate I

WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and Proprietor.
VOL, XXI.
Colonel Jacob M. Campbell.
(From the Johnstown Tribune.]
The importance of the pending po
litical campaign in this State, and the
enthusiasm everywhere created among
loyal men by the nomination of two
distinguished soldiers for the only offi
ces to be filled this year by general
ticket, naturally call for more than a
brief reference to the antecedents and
characteristics of our standard-bearers.
In this article we propose to tell what
we know of oar friend and fellow•citi
sen, Colonel Campbell, the nominee
for Surveyor General.
Jacob M. Campbell is a native of
that old Whig stronghold, Somerset
county, where ho was born just forty
four years ago. -When a mere youth
his parents removed to Allegheny city,
where be went to school until 1835. In
that year, being fourteen years old, he
became an apprentice in the office of
the Somerset TiThig,a Democratic news
paper, in which ho remained until he
bad mastered as much of the printing
business as could be learned in a coun
try office of that day. In 1840 he left
Somerset and worked for . some time
"at case in the office of the Literary
Examiner, a monthly magazine of con
siderable merit published in Pittsburg.
From here our "jour printer" found his
way to New Orleans and into another
printing office. But his active nature
was not satisfied. The steamboat trade
on the lower Mississippi presented in
1840, as does the oil business in 1865,
tempting inducements to enterprising
spirits who care less for hard knocks
than for the substantial benefits which
they sometimesproduco. Laying down
his composing stick, the boy of nine
teen became a steamboatman, and for
several subsequent years filled success
ively the positions of clerk, mate and
part owner of a vessel, always, how
ever, making Pennsylvania his home,
which he frequently visited. In 1847
tho iron business of our State attracted
his attention, and he embarked in it at
Brady's Bend. In the same year he
married. In 1851 ho followed the
course of empire to California, but did
not long remain there, and in 1853 we
find him in Johnstown, assisting in the
construction of our mammoth rolling
mill. With this splendid enterprise ho
remained connected up to the break
ing out of the war, holding all the
timo an important and responsible po
sition. He was one of the few men
who /new how to build and manage
successfully the greatest iron establish
ment in the Union.
In April, 1861, Port Sumpter was
bombarded and the first call appeared
for volunteers to "rally round the flag."
At the time Mr. Campbell was first
lieutenant of a volunteer company in
Johnstown, and this company at once
tendered its services to the Governor,
who promptly accepted them. It was
the first company to enter Camp Curtin.
Upon tho organization of tho Third
regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers,
Lieutenant Campbell was appointed
Quartermaster, a position which he
filled with groat acceptability until the
regiment was discharged. On the 28th
of July ho was mustered out of service,
and on the 30th was commissioned to
recruit a regiment. In duo time the
regiment was raised, the companies
composing it having boon mainly re
cruited through Cal. Campbell's indi
vidual exertions. Eight of the com
panies were recruited in Cambria and
Somerset counties, and two in Lehigh
and Northampton counties. The regi
ment was designated the Fifty-Fourth.
For two years this regiment perfor
med the arduous duty of guarding
sixty miles of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and while thus engaged
really protected the Maryland and
Pennsylvania border from Rebel inva
sion and guerilla outrages. It is a fact
which may not be generally known to
Pennsylvanians that to the Fifty
fourth regiment they owe much of the
security they enjoyed in their persons
and property during 1862 and 1863,
the two most critical years of the war.
The position of the Fifty fourth was, at
all times, an exceedingly trying and
dangerous one, requiring the exercise
of the utmost vigilance and the sound
est discretion. During its guardian ,
ship of the railroad, it was frequently
engaged in skirmishes with the enemy,
and upon more than ono occasion gave
timely and valuable information of his
movements and designs. In addition
to his ordinary duties as commander
of the regiment, Col. Campbell was al
most daily called upon during this pe
riod to decide disputes between Rebels
and Unionists residing along the lino
of the railroad, and it is no exaggera
tion to say that in no instance was
justice cheated or rascality rewarded.
It is not our assertion merely, but the
testimony of all who aro' cognizan t of
the facts, that the commander of the
Fifty-fourth manifested on all occasions
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1865.
the possession of judicial talent of a
high order. Of his purply executive
ability, the successful and always sat
isfactory manner in which the regi
ment guarded those sixty miles of
railroad in a hostile territory is the
only proof that we need to cite. We
bad almost omitted to mention that
from March, 1863, until March, 1861,
Col. Campbell was in command of the
Fourth brigade, First division, Eighth
army corps, in which was his own reg
iment.
Early in 1861 General Sigel took
command of the Department of West
Virginia, and moved with all his avail
able troops to Martinsburg, prepara
tory to a movement up the Shenandoah
Valley. In a reorganization of tho
troops which took place, Col. Camp
bell, at his own request, returned to
the command of his regiment. At the
battle of Now Market, May 15th, the
regiment suffered severely. It occu
pied the extreme left of the line, and
was the last to leave the field. Under
Hunter the regiment took a prominent
part in the battle of Piedmont, June
sth, again occupying the left of the
lino, and this time flanking the ene
my's right and attacking him in tbo
roar. After the battle Col. Campbell
was assigned to the command of a !Hi !
gado, and as a special favor his own
regiment was transferred to it, that it
might remain under its old comman
der. The brigade suffered heavily in
the attack upon the entrenchments at
Lynchburg, and covered the retreat of
Hunter's army when the attack failed.
July 24th the brigade participated in
the battle of Winchester, and upon the
fall•of Col. Mulligan Col. Campbell took
command of his division. He contin
ued in its command until its consoli
dation into a brigade, consequent upon
its many losses in killed and wounded,
and afterward commanded the brigade.
After Sheridan cane to the head of the
Department, he participated in the
engagements in the Shenandoah under
that renowned chieftain until ho was
mustered out of service nearly two
months after the eipiratiOn of his three
years' term of enlistment. His total
period of service, including the three
months' campaign, it will thus be seen,
covered nearly three years and a half.
Col. Campbell's record as a politician
will bear examination. Reared in the
school of Jackson Democracy, he voted
in 1844 for Polk and Dallas. 1848,
however, -ho abandoned the party
which, ho had become convinced, was
the champion of slavery extension and
the foe to Pennsylvania's best inter•
eats, and voted for the Free Soil candi
dates, Van Buren and Adams. His
residence in the South had shown him
the evils of slavery, and he therefore
gave his vote against the party which
sought its extension. In 1852 he voted
again for the Free Soil nominees, Hale
and Julian,. and in 1856 was the dole
gate from Cambria county to the Fre
mont Convention. He took an active
part in advocating Republican princi
ples in his own county during that
year, and at once took rank with the
people of the county as a politician of
fairness, ability and zeal. His influ
ence in county politics continued to be
felt during succeeding years. In 1859
he was presented by the Republicans
of Cambria for the Senatorial nomina
tion in the district then composed of
Cambria, Blair and Clearfield, and a
little more than one month ago -he was
again unanimously selected as the
choice of the Union'party of Cambria
for Senator• from the district composed
of Cambria; Indiana and Jefferson.
That ho was not nominated on either
occasion by the district conference was
not owing to a want of appreciation of
his worth and services, but to the sup
posed superior claims of the county
which was honored with the nominee.
Such is, in detail, the private and
public record of our candidate for Sur
veyor General. If it is not a brilliant
one; it is, at least, consistent, manly
and patriotic:
Of Col. Campbell's mental and moral
characteristics it becomes us to say but
little. Ho is a shrewd business man,
a public spirited citizen, a good work.
or, and an honest man. Without hav
ing enjoyed the advantages of a liberal
education, ho is, nevertheless, ono of
the best read, mon in tho State. Ho
is a clear thinker, and remarkably cool
and cautious in judgment. In a long
acquaintance we have rarely known
him to err in his estimate of public
mon or the wisdom of public measures.
Ho is a man of marked sagacity. His
social characteristics are of that class
which never fails to create the warm
est friendships and to command the
Toped, of all. That he is worthy of
the office, for which he has been nom
nated is conceded by those who know
the man. That he and his gallant col
league, General Hartranft, will be elec
ted by overwhelming majorities, is al
ready a foregone conclusion.
-PERSEVERE.-
Major General Hartranft,
.101 IN F. 114aTudiNrm, candidate for
Auditor• General, is a citizen of Nor
ristown, Montgomery county, and is
about thirty two years old. He is
thoroughly educated, being a gradttato
of Union Colleges New York. Re bel
gen his career as a civil engineer, and
subsequently studied law. He pursued
as wo aro informed, his profession for
a number of years with honorable dis
tinction: When the war• broke out, he
did not hesitate to abandon a lucrative
and growing business at the bar. Ho
immediately entered the service and
received the command of ono of the
"three months regiments." Our read
ers will remember the difficulties with
a number• of these regiments, which,
claiming that their term of service had
expired, refused to move against the
enemy while tho battle of Bull Run
was in progress, and it was at this
time, when Col. Hartranft's regiment
took up their march- home Ward, that
he himself remained on the field, and
was honored for his firmness and bra
very by being placed on Gen. Frank
lin's staff. His career afterwards
throughout the war was in keeping
with this act. After the Bull run dis•
aster he immediately wont home and
raised another regiment—the 51st—
for throe years. Tbo regiment was
with Burnside at the taking of Roan
oke island, and afterwards saw much
bard service in North Carolina. On
the expiration of their three years
term of service the 51st re enlisted.—
Col. Hartranft was soon after placed
at the head of a brigade, and for his
skill and bravery during Grant's mem
orable campaign of 1864, he was pro
moted to a full brigadier generalship.
At Petersburg ho displayed remarka•
ble coolness and judgment, when oth
ers failed in these qualities, for which
ho Was breveted by the President Maj.
General of Volunteers.
Gen. llai•tranft is a War Democrat.
Ho
. is ono of those Democrats who
loved country, better . than party, lib
erty better than slavery. His nomin
ation for the important office of Audi
tor General, like the placing of Hon.
JOHN CESSNA at the head of the State
Central Committee, attests how well
the Union party keeps its faith with
those loyal Democrats who rushed to
the support of their country's flag
when other Democrats in the North
faltered, or espoused the rebel cause.

Mary was well aware of the conse..
