Sprung from a Hlock whoso (rood nnuio has never born turnitl.oj by an ignoble deed, bred to industry, a son of toil and yet a gen tleman in every sense of tlio word, and, whether in I lie mochino shop earning his bread by tho sweat of his fuce, happy in the esteem and eonS'nco of liattSHOciiilcs and employers; grasp ing tho throttle of his engmo toguiuo it with its precious weight of living, trusting freight, in snfety through its incident danrers; i aising the voice ot advice or wurningin the hulls of Slate; pleading a client's can 80 with concen tered eloquence and minute precision, or leading tho gullunt boys of lhs rcnnsjivunia Keservca into tlio hot test of tho fight at tho Wildernoss, or down tho slope of tho "Round Top" nl Gettysburg, fearless and undaunted; engaging in whichever ot thoso occu pations, ho bus always Doen a man, tho peer of any in the country in the same sphere lie is still a young man, yet be has long since earned an honored name. In the annals of tho luto war his gnl lunlrv is the aubiect of extended en comium by the different historians We have before u, Sypher's History of the Pennsylvania Resorves, and Rates' History of the Pennsylvania volunteers, from which we saltier the subject matter for tho portion of this sketch which relates to bis military careor. Gun. M'Candluss is a Philadolphian, by birth, education and affinity. He was born in this city on the 2!Uh day of Sepombcr, 1834, and received a good English education, immediately on leaving school, having been left an orphan, lie entered himsull an appren tice to the machinist's trade in the shops of Richard Morris & Sons, where he served tho term oi live yours. Subsequently he ran a loeoniotivo on the Pennsylvania railroad, but becom ing piqued at being retarded in lino of promotion on account ol his youth (not yet having attuined his majority,) he left tho road and commenced tho sludv of law with Moses A. Dropsio, Kn.. in this city. Ho was admitted to the bar in 1 S.r8, and through bis personal popularity and legal aptitudo soon obtained a lucrative practice. Three, years afiorward tho war broko out and ho was among tho first to en list in defense of the Union. Ho en rolled himself as a privuto soldier in Cnptuin Timothy Mcaley's com puny, and when the regiinont was rocoirnizcd as tbe Zd Kcuimciil, f onn svlvnniu Reserves., he was elected major. In October, 18GI,- upon tho promotion of Lieutenant Colonol Al bert Mar "ton to tho colonelcy of the 4 tli Regiment, Major M'C'andlcss was elected and commissioned Liouton- an. Pnlunol. and tinon tho retirement "I W t. Jlunn assumed Ot Cuiuu command of tho ..''mem. " Peninsular campaign he conn,.18" his troops with skill, and on tho first ol AugtiBt, 1802, was promoted to the ca'.oncloy lor gallant and meritorious conduct. At Iho bnttlo ol Bull Run ho wus sovorcly wounded and carried from the field to Washington. He ro joined his regiment at Shnrpshurg, ' i u......:.t..-. Mn. and nnriiciiiuieu i ss uuiuoiuhb vin- paign. In Meado campaign, Colonel M'Canttless cnnimnndcd tho 1st Hri gndo of tho Reserve Corps) nml dur ing tho wintorof 1803 and the follow ing spt ingi ho commanded tho divis ion. On Thursday, tho 6th of May, 1804, when the 1st Brigade was cut off and surrounded in the Wilderness, Colonel M'Candluss was cniilttred, but in the confusion that onmied ho eluded his captors and mado his escapo through . . , J . C.I t tlio dense forest, and nrriveti aoiuij in camp at Spoltsylvunia court house. Wlnlo leading hi brigauo in a cnrKB on Sunday evening, no wna wummuu in tho arm, and disabled from further sorvice. Ho relurnod to PW'ttrlilphia, and was subeeatientlv tondered A brig adier's oommission, but feeling that whilo the War Department acknowl edged bis gallantry and bruvory on il.a fluid, and well knowlntr that Gov. Cortin bad long before favored bis nromotlon. bis olaima wore slighted, U full impelled from self-respect, to deoline the bonor. Accordingly h remained in tba privacy and practice tif bii profession. LB PRINCIPLE81 CLEARFIELD, PA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, Sypher's History, In speaking of mi ontiio oi npoiisyivuniu, snys: "Colonol M'Candloss, who led the charge with conspicuous gallantry, wns wounded, and Col. Tally assnmed command of tho brigndo." L. A. nondricks, tho Now' York Herald' t correspondent, in speaking of this buttle, says: "On Monday evening, when the roar of battle was sounding along the whole lino, Col. M Candles, who had accompanied the jioaorve corps inrougn an us names and campaigns, was carried to tbe rear to be sent to his home in Phila delphia. A an ofllcor ho had won great distinction, and was a favorite with his companions In arms, Who now dooply felt his departure" ; He was- twice- wounded ; -this Awy time at tho second battle of Bull s Kun, in tho groin, and tho second in tho bloody hntllo at Spottsylvanin Court House, whero bis left arm was broken by a cannistor shot. Gen. M'Clullan, in his official roport of the battle of Muuhaniosburg, com pliments tho Second iteserves very highly, and especially Col. li'Cund less, their commander. Ho says: "Assault after ascult was mado by tho enemy, and throe times they succeed ed in forcing their way through on the left ot tho regimont and gaining tho cleared ground, but were as often driven back nt tho point of the bayo net, Col. M'Candless gallantly leading tho charge" In speuking of tlio bailie of Gaines' Mill, Bates says: "At 3 p. tn. tho en gagement became so sovero, that the enlire second lino and resorves wore moved forward to sustain tho first lino against repealed and desporato assaults. Gen. Reynolds soon rodo up and ordered the Second toadvanco through tho wood, clear it of tho ene my and tako up a position on its ex treme edgo. Col. M'Candless, know ing that the movement would bring the enotny on his right flunk, asked tho General's permission to move it at right angles to the position assigned it. the General was silent lor a mo ment, his fuco bearing tho expression of groat prcploxity and dissatisfaction. when ho replied, 'Colonel, Ueneral Porter is fighting tl. is bnttlo on cer tain parallels, and his orders will have lo bo obeyed.' 'I would,' remarked the Colonel afterward, 'I had not aked bim tho quostion, but hnd taken my regiment in by mistake.'" After the close of the war, and on the organization of Iho Pennsylvania Hfscrvo Corps, Gen. M Landless was elected its first vico president (Gov. Cur tin being the president,) nnd do livorcd Iho fimt address beloro it nt ilarricburg in 1800. Ho continued for several yours to fill tho position, and, as Governor Cui tin was absent from tbe country most of tho time, he was it presiding ollicer. lie has since, however, yiolded tho pines to others equally worthy of tho honor, remain- ing one ol its most highly csloomod members. In 1800 his I)omocralic frionds of the First Senatorial district brought him out forthe Sonnto against lion. Jerominh Nichols. It was con fidentially asserted that bo could not be elected, as tho district usually gave a Republican majority of some sixteen hundred, but his personal popularity was egregiously underrated. Ho car ried the district by about sovenleen hundred majority, and served his term in the Senate with acknowledged ability and discriminating judgment, acting on the local judiciary, military and othor committees. At the end ol his term, in 180!), it wns the aim of hia frionds to push him as an enstorn candidate for Governor, and hence he was not a candidato for ronominution to the Senate. In 1870 he mado the tour of Europe; was in London when tho war broko out in Franco, and im mediately slnrtod for the scone of strife, to witness the European plan of warfare. Tho authorities, how ever, would not pormit him to go bo. yond iUetz, and alter remaining in Puns until the city had to nssumo a defensive position he returned homo, hale and hearty, to moot with an Inm ost wolcomo from his very many friends. Jto is now the unanimous choice of his parly for tho honornblo position ot Auditor-Uoncral ot tho old Keystone State, nnd with a platform upon which he can consistently stand and rally nround him his old associ ates in arms as well as his old co-la borers of the shops and rnilrnuds wilh whom he has always kept up a triend ly relationship, and whoso interests ho has scrupulously labored to forward in all his walks of life. In these ssso clations, and thoso of the different or dors to which ho belongs, lies his grent personal strength. He comes of tho peoplo and is in sympathy with them, and on election day they should not fail to rospond to the cull of tho honest citixon and gallant soldier, W bona honest claim. Ibey I not gainsay, Nor tre! hia like a stranger) They su:" " s his .:'J"7's slay, In dsy and hour of danaA.'- CAPTAIN JAMES H. COOPER. In our opening pngci wo givo a sketch of our distinguished follow citir.on and candidate of his parly for Auditor-General of this Mlato, uonoral William MeCnndless. We now havo the pleasure of sketching his colleague in tlio canvass, nnd fellow-officer in the Army, Cnptain James II. Cooper, of Lawrence county, Pennsylvania, cundiduto for tlio olllco of Surveyor Genoral. Cnptuin James Harvey Cooper was born March 6th, 1841, in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania. 1 1 in parents died when he wus quite young, and he soon after located in Lawrence county, where ho received a fair Eng lish cducution, and onrly in 1 1 lu en gaged in merchandising nt Mt. Jack son, l'o.,in which ho continued till the war broko out, when ho was among the first lo enlist. Ho enrolled him self as private in the Mt. Jackson Guards, and, upon the organization of tho company, was elected Ordoriy Sergeant. When the number of mn was Inoroased, allowing an additional First and Second Lieutenant, he was elected Second lieutenant. When too First Artillery Regiment Pennsyl vania Uoeerva Corps was formed, tho Guards becamo Jiattery a. Captain uuards becamo uauery a. captain Danforth wa..lctd tfajor, " I REPUBLICAN. J NOT MEN. tonant Cooper its Cnptain. He im mediately sot to work to drill and dis cipUnohis men, and aucceedod so woll that Br.ltory B was known throughout tho Ayny of tho Potomac as ouo of tho best drilled and most ably com manded batlories in that arniy. : It was miiro generally known as "Coop er's iBultory," and participated in all the (tngngomenla fought by tho Army of too Potomac; the greater portion of the time being connoctod with tbe Ketone Corps. It gallant aoiion was fiequontly noticed in general or der ty Genorala MoCall, Reynolds and Meade. Captain Cooper was the particilar favorite of all these Generals. Al tie battle of Fredricksburg, Gon. Reynolds said i "Contain Coontir is one of tha cool- tsl nul mobt" cfllciont officers under fire 1 tver saw." Ho was commissioned by Governor Cartin as Major of the regiment j but prefcrriisj to romuin wilh tho men with wb.m bo had enlisted, ho de clined being mustered. Wbon he loft for home, tho officers, of the batteries of tho regiment connected wilh the Army of tin Polomuo signed a peti tion to the Governor for the appoint- mont of Captain Cooper as Colonol of tno regiment. 1 Ins was very strong ly endorsed by Gon. Wuinwright, commanding tho Artillery Brigudo, Fifth Corps; Gen. Hunt, Chief of Ar tillery, Army of Potomac, and Gon: Meade, then in command of the Army of tho Polotnr.o. This petition Captain Cooper never presented to Governor Curlin, who has since said he would liavo commissioned him Colonel with out hesitation. Coopor's battery took an active part in tho following engagements : Mochauicsvillo, Gaines' Mill, New Murkct Cross Roads, Malvern Hill, Second Bull Run, Chsnlilly, South Mounlain, Antiotnm, first and second Fredricksburg, Cliancellorsvillo, Get tysburg, Mine Run, Wilderness, Lau rel Hill, Spottsylvania Court House, North Anna River, and the battles in front of Polcrsburr; from Juno 18th until Auirust 6th, when his term of servico expiring, bo was honorably discharged and returned homo, his health somewhat impaired by tho ex posures and hardships of three years and throe months ol constant servico ta ie Held. Tho favorable monlion ot Cattery B. in tho reports of tho officers in whoso command it scrvod, is flattering tributes to tho gallant captain. Sypher's hintory of the Pcnnsylm nia Reserve Corps speaks in tho high est terms of Cooper s buttery, in such manner, howovor, in connection with others, that it is hard to quote connectedly nnd concisely. Wo can, Ihctetoro, only givo running noies. At iho b.itil ofMnohftulcsvillo, "Coop or's Bultory of six ten pounder Parrol guns commanded tho approach. " At this battle this battory withstood most terrific assaults, without over flinch ing. Syphersays: "Genoral Reynolds ordcrod Colonel Roberts lo move his reifimont to the woods on tho Mo- chsnicsvillo road, to support Cooper's Battory in its torrible slrugglo ngainsi the lurgo forces of tho enemy attack ing it by lerriblo assaults." ng it In nearly all mo Dailies oi me Army of tbe PototnnO we find Coop er's Battory holding the post of honor, sometimes surrounded, deprived of ils horses, captured and recaptured, its gallant young commander always at his post cheering his men, and leading them in person airainsi an ouus, uu- fying death, fatigue, thinking only of victory. Really, and truly, thoyoung man of twenty, wuo coma, wun me wisdom of ago and exporionce, and tlio courage of a hardened votoran, command and lend a bnllery to such unqualified distinction as Cuptuin Coopor did Butteny IS, deserves a namo in tno nicuo oi painut, or. and the lusting gralitudo and respect of tho American pooplo. Cuptuin Wm. McClollan, now mom bor of Congress from the 24lh Con gressional District, commanded Bat tery B tho lust oight months of ils sorvice, and spooks of Cnptuin Coop er' bravery and militury tact in the highest terms. Since tho Captain's rolurn to civil duties, he has dovotod his cnorgies to the development of tho mechanicul, mineral and lumber intorosts of the lieavor and Chenango valleys ono of thn richest localities in tho Slato in mineral resources. At Edinburgh, a thriving town some ten miles distnnt fi-nm Now Custlo. he enrrir on tho lumborinjr business on a largo scale, running his own mills, and superin tending the works In porson. II is industry and energy are untiring, nnd hia strict and exemplary hubils and inteirritv of character command for him the respect and confidence of all who know him, wnne ins sociui quM iloa Atiilenr him to a host of frionds.

The advocates of early rising; or rather of excessively early rising, uro somewhat roughly handled in a recent article in tho London Spectator, which odors a number of excellent reasons why the inhabitants of temperate lati tudes should not iinitato either tho sun or the lark in respect of tho hour of gelling out of bed. Tho superstition In favor of early rising is of unknown antiquity, but it is not true, as is commonly supposed, that Solomon advocated tho. practice. He condemns tho sluggard and ad vises him to lake pattern of the ant, bat says not a word about the pro priety of going to one's daily work at four or five o'clock in tho morninir. It - was needles, '-frtrrhar,-TW-4ivtiv-4. do so, In tho burning climato of Judca all out of door und most in door work must bo performed beforo the sun's rays becomes vortical; and for the wise llobrow to inform his people of that would have boen to tell the in what they already knew. Tho mislako that Western races make is in imitating tho habil of tho Orientals, without inquiring tho rea son of it. In most parts of Europe and North America work can p-onerully be belter performed in tho middlo of the day tuun in tho chill early hours. To persons not engaged In manual lubor it is positively injurious to lux either tho brain or the body beforo the body is rocruited with fond, or the food has hud time to digest. Besides, tho Orientals, wilh nil tho advantages of early rising in their favor nro as a matter ol fact neither so healthy nor so long lived ss the Western races who got up Into. In answer to the suggestion, thst by retiring early we might rise early and thus obviuto most of the real ob jections to tho praclico of curly rising, tho spectator very sensibly observes: "Tho only effect of this change would be to shorten the time for rest nnd recreation, which is much too short Al ready. In tho fiorce competition of civilized life men would work twenty four hours if they could, and would assuredly work through the wholo of tbe additional daylierbt secured by their change of hubit." Tho only sensible rule to adopt is lo reject all absolute rales on tho subject, and allow persons to follow their own tastes. If late rising is to malic a man unhap py and ill, by all means let him get up early ; but don't force him to do so merely becnuso nnder certain climatic conditions, which do not apply to him, tho practice is lndieponsiblc.

It is related of Michael Angolo, that, while walking with some friends throngh an obscure street in tho clly ot Florence, ho discovered a fino block" of marble lying neglected in a yard and half buried in dirt and rubbish. Regardless of his holiday at tiro, ho si oner fell to work upon, clearing away its filth and striving to lift it out from the slimo and nnro in which it lay. His companions asked him, in astonishment, what he wns doing, and what he wanted with that worthless piece of ro';k. "O, there's an angel in the stone," was tho answer, "and I must got it out." Ho had it removed to his studio, and wilh patient toil, with mallet and chisels, he led tho angol out. What to others was but a rude unsightly mass of stone, to his educated eyo was tho buried iflory of art. A mason would have put it into a stone wnll ; a cart-man would have used it lor hi ling in, or to grade tho streets; but Anp-elo transformed it into a gem oi art, and gave it value lor ages toco mo What possibilities ot virtue and use fulness may not a good mun see in a child?

PET NAMES. . , -V We heartily join our contoniporoiioil' in a rcmonstiunco against the modifi cation of femlnfne namo ihul i now in progress. Not only in marriage notices, where a hint of affectionate fuiniliarity is deemed appropriate.evon beforo the public, but in the formal catalogues of schools and colleges, we find all the young ladies oosiynaisu. by endearing diminutives pot named thoy are called. Wo have sovoral cat alogues on our table, In which th Seniors, Juniors, and Fresh mon (is that the word r) aro Maggies, Bossies, Hatlics, Louies, Nellies, Carries, Fan nies, Cullies, Cassics, Gcorgies, Sallies, Lizzies, Addics, Aggios, Gerties, Mil lies, Jean nies, Lillics, nnd tho like. Only ono old namo socms to hold its own, ana that proouoiy, because mo familiar form of it bus ralhor too bomoly a sound to satisfy a romantic taste; we find Mary is nover culled Molly. Ono Mamio wo find, but this is so liko Mammy, that most young ladies will prefer to bo called Mary iu the earlier stages of their lives, We do not know, indoed, at what stage theso pet names arc conferred. Is it at tho baptismal font? Could min isters keep a solemn countenance if asked publicly to name a girl Huttio, Georgia or Lizzie. To us it would sound liko christening a boy Bob, Bill, or Jim. We fancy that it is not their sponsors in baptism, but the young ladios themselves, who navo aoviseu these aliasei under which. they Intend to take the degreo of Master of Arts, or, wo supposo, wilh them it will be "Mistress of Hearts." To us, accus tomed lo ascribe somo gravity to scholustio honors, thoy do not seem to accord well wilh these endearing or familiar names. Yet habit is every thing in Ihoso matters. Wo have not yot boen accustomed to catalogues ot schools for boys, or colleges for young mon, in which it is thought elegant to designate thorn as Jukey, Sammy, Tommy, or Bob, Miko, Joe, &o. Do the ladies think that would be pretty? Imagine a grave President of n college conferring tho highest honors on Billy Smith, or calling op Jack somebody lo deliver tho valedictory I Wo think wo may speak for the male sex whon we say that this endearing or familiar stylo, pleasant enough in private, and particular cases, is utterly ridiculous? in public, and in common, formal use. Fulsluff lays down when ho is to bo called Jack and when Sir John, but tho distinction is plain enough among mon. Occussioniilly somo vulgarian thinks he makes a point by affecting a public fuiniliarity with some eminent character. Sometimes in a Radical paper, an eminent jurist nnd ex chief justice of Pennsylvania, whoso person al character would add dignity to tho highest office, is flippantly styled Jerry Blnck ! But this iB not likely to provoke imitation. Tho ladies still havo tho prosont familiar style as their speciaf teminine fashion. Wo hopo it will have no longer life than most fashions. Indeed, to ho just, wo must add that among the pamphlets on our table is tho calaloguo of the New York Medi cal Collcgo for Women, in which we are pleased to find our old acquaint ances, Sarah, Martha, Emma, Susan, and Jano. We aro glad to seo that they survive. Long lifo to them -W bother it is the bettor tasto, or the graver pursuits of these ladies that determines their choico, we aro glad to find that except tho, perhaps, ad missihlo Fannie, all bear nnme, liko Webster's dictiunary, "unabridged," and they do not want thoir patientsr or the public to "call them pot names." Tint Lowest Type op Humanity. Tho following extract is from an arti cle on "Barbarism and Civilization,"' in tho Atlantic Monthly : On the island of Borneo there linn boon found a certain race of wild creuturcs, of which kindred vurictics have been discovered in tho Phillip pine Islands, in Terra del Fuego, and in South America. They walk usually ulmost erect on two legs, and in that attitude measure about four feet in liie-hl. Thoy aro dark, wrinkled and hairy. They construct no habitation, form no families, scarcely associate together, sleep in caves or trees, feed on snakes or vermin, or ants' eggs, on mice and on each othor. 1 hoy can- not bo tamod or forced to any labor, and are hunted and shot among the trees liko iho grent gorilla, of which they aro a stunted copy. Whon they are captured ullvo one finds to bis sur prise that thoir uncouth jabbering sounds like arliculalo language. They turn up a human fuce to gnzo at their captor, and a fomalo shows instincts- ol modesty. Are mose wreicuuu w ings human t Wealth, and power, nnd prosperity,, how peculiarly transitory and uncer tain 1 But religion dispense her choic est cordials in the seasons of exigenco, in poverty, in exilo, in sickness, and in death. The ossonlial superiority of that support which is dorivod from religion is less felt, at least it i loss -apparent when tho Christian is in full possession of riches, and splendor,, and rank, and all tho gifts of nature' and forluno. But when all theso are swept awuy by the rudo hand ot timo ortho rough blasts of adversity, the truo Christian stands, like tho giun oak of Iho forest, erect and vigorous, , stripped, indeed, of its summer foliage, ' but more than ever discovering to the obsorving eyo the solid strength of his substantial texture Fretfclness. One of CromwoH'e friends wns a frolling Christian, to v.hom everthing went wrong, and porlonded disastep. One day, when unusually fro'.ful, his sensible servant said : . "Master, don't you think that God) governed tho world vory well before you catno Into it f" "Yes; but why do yon ask ?" "Don't you thwik bo will govern it vory woll when you aro out of itT" Yes I but why do you ask 1" "Woll, Ihon, oati't vou trust him to govern it for tho little time you are. in it f" That shot killed his fretfuines. aw Tirkd Faculties. Usually, when tho muchinery of tlio mind runs bard from any cause, the proper romedy i not books, but something totally dif ferent. Reading is apt to conllntio in use tho faculties that aro lirod. What is demanded is an entire change ol sphere, calling into play an entirely different eel of faouliies.
