If elected, he pledges himself to perform the duties of ihc otiice to the best of his ability. GEORGE E-NGELEAC1J. Johnstown, Oct. 3, fj TIiO' EttU oFt lie Ite lidlio n X S gli . Ncvvr sinco the commencement of tho war nave vc had bo many unmistakable evidences tliat the rebellion is drawing to a close, as at the present time. All the copperhead grumbling and croaking that exists cannot blot out the significant signs of tho limes, foreshadowing an early peace based upon the unconditional surrender of the rebels. Treason has about run its race, and hilf an eye is enough to discorn that "Ichabod" is written on its doorpost?- The ietorie3 of Sheridan over Early in the Valley, than which never were victo ries more brilliant or decisive, form but a part of' the grand programmo projected for the dbwniall of the rebellion. Tuken iu connection with tlic forward move of Grant, which has now most Suspiciously begun, they cannot but result in the fall of Richmond and Petersburg, and the an nihilation of Lee's army. In the south west Sherman holds Atlanta, the ''gate city" ot the Confederacy, in an irou grasp, and'aftor a brief season of recuperation, he will move forward to renewed victories. Mobile is thoroughly blockaded, and the forts which defended it- arc in our posses sion and under the Old Flag. We begin to understand the Lieutcnant-Gcneral's strategy. "NYc sec now tlwxt his plan con tests in a gradual but ever-increasing pres f uro at the same momcnt'on all important points in the Confederacy, wider which, as sure as fate, the entire fabric must speedily bo pulverized to nothingness. AYc have the moral and physical odds on our side. Our army is large, and daily growing lar ger ; the foe's is weak', and daily growing weaker. Our3 is the side of Right; Upon which God smiles, and unto which He lends His countenanco ; the foe's is tho side of Wrong aud Oppression, upon which God frowns. Truly, "the situation" to us - is bright and encouraging ! Taking another view of the matter, wo cannot but be sanguine of the early resto ration of the Union. The masses at the North are voting right. The Vermont and- Maine elections settle beyond cavil the question of Lincoln's rc-elcclion. They are, if possible, more important at this time than military success iu the field, iif they blow all the treasonable plots and BEpirations of the "peace" Democracy to the lour winds, and place the seal of con demnation of the people on the Chicago l'latform." The rebels now know their fate. The know the war will go on until the federal authority 13 reestablished throughout the length and breadth of the land. The late Union victories are inf'u fciug new life and hope iuto the loyal cle ment everywhere. Another favorable omen, and deserving of notice, is found in tho fact that men are rapidly enlisting all over the country, and where the draft is being enforced, ii a gcueiui- rule everything progresses calmly and quietly. We havo none of that spirit of mob-law- resistance so ar dently preached and prayed for by cop perhead orators and newspapers. Friends of the country ! do not "go back." on our cause at this late day. Tho military situation-is all that could be de Eircd. The rebellion is indeed boing "pushed to the wall," r.ot after the Lid Vlovc styl. but ia a manner vrhich must result in its utter and irremediable down fail. Courage! Grant and his brave commanders will, make sure work of tho hideous monster of secession before tho snows of winter if you only do your dutyj Your duty consists in extending him and them your undivided aid and encourage ment iu tho work before them. In no way can you perform this duty so effi ciently as by voting on next Tuesday for the Union nominees. By so voting, you evince your unconquerable determination that treason iliall not triumph that trai tors shall not be permitted to mould at will the destiny of the great American Republic. Every vote cast for the Copperhead ticket will prolong the war by a day; every vote cast against it will lessen tho probability of peace in a corresponding ratio. Re member this act, andcast your ballot accordingly. How About It Row I Read this tit-bit from tho Lewistovn Democrat : "Some of the Republicans about town, wo understand, aro endeavoring to make capital for Barker, the Maine Yankee candidate for Congress in this district, because he happen ed to be one of the gentlemen who went to Washington last week, to get justice done the district, in relation to the draft. It is true Messrs. D. W. Woods, James Mann, and A. A. Barker, were appointed to perform the plain duty of rep resenting the facts to the Provost Marshal General a. duty which any one old enough to talk English was competent to per form and it i3 also true that Gen. Fry, as was ins rtAis iuty, upon hearing the fact3 authorized the proper corrections to be made. For doing this Messrs. "W., M., and D., of course, arc ;atitltd to thanks," &c, &c. And ocn this, commenting on the above, lrum tho Ebensburg Dcm. & Sent. : "TI113 infamous scheme of Barker's 6tands without a parallel in this region of country. It shows manifestly to the people of this county, what an ignorant clown like him would, do to havo the name of being elected to ('ongres3. Those other two gentlemen, it appears, got their part of the district changed, but there is no percentage taken off Cambria county. That would not euit the election of Mr. Barker. And what arc the lives of a few men in his estimation compared to his elec tion? His conduct in this respect is so pat ent to every mau that he can't lie himself out of it, or cover up hi3 tracks," &c, &c. We submit the foregoing as the preva lent copperhead style of electioneering in thi3 county. In answer to the barefaced, deliberate lie of tho Dcm. & Sent., that ''there is no percentage taken off Cambria county," we refer our readers to tho fact3 and figures as shown forth in our local columns to-day. 3y reference thereunto, it will be found that, thanks to the efforts of somebody, the quota ot Cambria county has been reduced about one-fourth, and thaf ttco hundred and ffty-scven names arc stricken from the drafted list, to the cx cmntion of a like number of men from military duty. We think we would be justified in demanding of the Dcm. & Sent. a retraction of it3 coarse and uncouth slanders, but as its venom ha3 done us and can do us no harm, so its retraction could do us no possible good. Allow U3, there fore, to pass this by in silent disgust. Our Candidates. Our candidates to be supported at tho election on Tuesday all como up to the JcfTcrsonian standard they arc honest and capable. They are each aud every one of them eminently qualified by birth and education for the respective positions to which they aspire. Tbey arc, more over, loyal to the last pulsation of their hearts' blood and that is more than can be said of their opponents. The latter, in effect, are friends and adherents of tho mushroom Confederacy, and arc working assiduously day by day in its interest. Their election, we have cause to know, would be heralded throughout Seccssia as a rebel triumph. Tho rebel armies would cheer themselves hoarso over such a re suit, and tho rebel masses clap their hands in glee. The Chicago Platform is the rebels' platform, and the Chicago Platform is likewise tho platform of tho Cambria county Democracy. Henco the confrater tcrnily of sentiment existing between the two classes. Many excellent men, we know, think it impossible that tho one time pure and good Democratic party could bo basely dctcriorato as to beconio secession sympathizers and enemies of their country. We ask all such, with a desire to serve the cause of truth can tho Democratic party be loyal, when the reb els in arms, with Jeff. Davis at their head, fervently and unceasingly pray for the success of its ticket at tho election? Think of this, and then vole for your coun try and against rebellion by voting, full and entire, tho Union ticket. , Go to tiie Election well supplied with tickots with enough for yourself, and some to spare for your neighbors. Do sure they arc tho right kind of tickets. The opposition, in their dying struggles, may resort to tho dodge of putting forth bogus tickets, eo as to catch the unwary. They arc unscrupulous have a guard. TO WE POLLS :UXIO!V 91EX OF CASIBBtA! TO THE POLLS ! ONE DAY FOR YOU? COUNTRY ! Union Men of Cambria ! friends and supporters of the , National Administra tion ! ye who love ypir Country, and hato Treason! On next Tuesday, 11th inst, you have a weighty duty to perform.- You arc called iipon to then designate your choice for k lleprcscntative to Con gress, say who ihall be your Representa tive to the Stao Legislature, and elect a County Ticket. This duty, at any time, would be a responsible ono ; but now it is more than evpr responsible. In the pres ent unfortunate condition of our National affairs, your (verdict becomes a matter of lifc-and-dcath importance. Tor if you vote overwhelmingly for the Union and the Union nominees, it will be under stood of mcri that you Vote Against I lie Rebellion, and that you thereby place yourself on record as favorable to the stern and vig orous prosecution of tho War until Trea son goes down ; whereas, if you vote di- videdly and indecisively, without a fixed object in view, it will be said of you that you havo lost heart in the War, and that you are anxious for " Pcacc-on-any-terms." Are You Ready ? You fully understand the great issues at stake, affecting alike the welfare of the Nation and of yourselves as individuals. You know that never before was there an election in Cambria county upon tho re sult of which so much depended as upon this. You know that the question of Self Government is to be now passed upon and definitely and forever decided. To Be, or Not To Dc, as a great and united free people, you know, is the proposition. Are you, therefore, ready fully armed and equipped behclmettcd, becuirassed, aud begauntletted ready for the contest? If you arc not, you arc an unworthy mem ber of the, Union party, and we beseech you to throw off your apathy and he vp and doing, for the night of election-day will soon be here, in which no man can work ! Our Ticket is an unexceptionable one. It is compo sed of men of the People good, honest, reliable men men who, in the event of their election, could and would faith! ully represent their respective constituents. Look at it : Congress . ABRAHAM A. BARKER. Assembly : EVAN ROBERTS. Sheriff: Commissioner : ABRAM GOOD. Poor House Director : GEORGE SETTLEMOYER. Auditor: THOMAS IIOLLEN. It is worthy of your enthusiastic support, and if you only do jour duty, we can and will Triumphantly Elect It ! lias your District been thoroughly can vassed 'i If not, canvass it now now now. Visit the low-spirited, the luko warin, the indifferent, and impress it upon them that if they only vote, and vote right, the day is ours ! Tell them that as Cambria county goes in October, so sho will go in. November, and if she goes Cop perhead, that her voto may bo tho means of thrusting upon us as rulers of the Na tion the repulsively disloyal nominees of the Chicago Convention. In the latter event, farewell, a long farewell to our hopes of a restoration of tlfe Union, for an "armistice" or "cessation of hostilities''' will as surely follow their election as day follows night, the inevitable result of which is Southern Independence. Bo at tlic lBolIs Early! Voto early ; and then devote the bal anco of the day to bringing out the old and the infirm and tho indiffcrcut.

SHEBREW. Chapter II. Divers People Visit the Child, and make him Presents A Strange Woman cometh, and de sircth to have him Circumcised Biddy obj'ec- teth, and 'Patrick revileth the Woman and Drtveth her away After the ichich, Patrick is sorely Troubled, and endeavoreth to Comfort himself with a Pipe The Pips bringeth him no Peace A Punch is made, which Biddy helpelh him to Drink .4 Deep Sleep falleth upon them The child Michael meeteth with a serious Mishap, which Patrick Knoweth not of The Accusing Spirit The Strange Woman returncth, and speaketh what Patrick regar dvth a Parable, and again leavcth. - Now after the birth of Michael, there came to the house of Patrisk divers peo- pls to see the child, and to bestow upon him presents; .2. And some brought ono thing, and some another; but about the fifth day there came a certain woman with bare feet and torn garments: and she came empty, and brought not a whit for the child ; 3. And whither she came, or by what nauio she was called, none could tell : nei ther could she make answer when asked concerning these things. 4. And when the woman had come in to tho house, and found Diddy and tho child alone, she went straightway and took the child in her arms, and said unto Diddy, 1 will carry him away to bo cir cumcised. 5. Dut Diddy said unto tho woman, Go thy way, for a3 I live I will not conscne that this thing bo done. G. Nevertheless, the woman was stiff necked, and would hearken not unto tho words of Diddy ; wherefore Diddy beiDg sore afraid, did cry in a loud voice for Patrick. 7. Now Patrick and Teddy were at work hard by, in a place called in tho Shcbrcw tongue potato-patch; so that when Diddy cried out, Patrick knew her voice, and straightway ran he into the house ; 8. And being told of the thing which the woman desired, Patrick -waxed exceed ing wroth, and swarc by the saint of his own name that if she did not depart in a trice, he would smite her with a shillalegh. 9. Dut the woman said unto Patrick, Stay thine hand, and let me depart in peace ; but forasmuch as yo refused that which I desired, therefore will evil como upon the child Michael. 10. And having so said, the woman went her way. 11. TjAnd when the woman had depar ted from the house, Diddy said unto Pat rick, Dy my troth, this woman is possessed of a devil. 12. Dut Patrick answered her not, for the words which the woman spake had sunk deep into his heart, and his spirit was troubled. 13. And Patrick sought to comfort him self, and straightway saddled his ass, and rode thereon even unto a place whereat the bought and sold merchandise; 14. And he bought him an pipe; and the bowl thereof was of puro clay, and the stem thereof was even of the same ; and the price which was paid for the pipe was one penny. 15. Likewise Patrick bought of the herb called tobacco; and the length of the pieco which he bought wa3 more than a cubit, and the prico which he paid was four pennies, for it had been brought from afar off, and was of the kind called nigger leg, being very precious. 10. And Patrick returned to his house, and sat in the door, and strove to comfort himself with his pipe; but the pipe bro't him no peace, albeit he had smoked the same without ceasing for the space of an hoar. ' 17. And he arose and said unto Diddy, Verily, since that morning hath been here I am vexed and ill at case : make me, therefore, I pray thee, of good cheer, lest peradventure I be overcome with grief. 18. And Diddy answered and said, I would fain do as thou wouldst : let us rnako of the adruixturo called punchf and drink and be merry. 19. And Patrick said unto Diddy, Thou hast spoken well, for I am thirsty, and my tongue cleaveth oven unto the roof of my mouth. 20. And immediately he took a vessel, and filled the same a part thereof with hot water, and a part thereof with poteen ; likewise Patrick took sugar, with a bit of lemon, and put therein. 21. And tho sugar put he in lest the admixture phould be too sour; and. tho lemon lest it should be too sweet ; 22. The water- put he in that it might not be too strong; and tho poteen put he in that it might not bo too weak. 23. And behold, when tho punch was made,' the house was filled with a sweet savor, and it entered iuto the nostrils of Patrick and Diddy. knd the f niell thereof was nioro pleasant thn frankincense and myrrh. 24. And Patrick andVDiddy drank the punch whilo it was hot, lest peradventure it should grow cold. 25. ITNow when thev hVd drained the u vessel even unto the dregs, they both be came weary and hcavy-ladcnu and Patrick laid himself down beside Dnldy and the child to rest. - 2G. And as if it were appointed that evil should befall the child, Piirick forgot to shut the door as he had been wont to do. 27. And lo, a deep sleep pame upon Patrick and Diddy, bo that they knew not anything. 28. And the bed whereon they lay was exceeding narrow, and behold, while they 6lept, the child Michael had no one to look after his weal : wherefore, in an evil moment, he tumbled out of bed and fell upon tho floor- 29. And tho child had not even swad dling-clothes upon him, for tho weather was warm, and there wcro none in tho house; so he lay on the floor uncovered. 30. And lo, while he was in this plight, a devil entered into a female swine, com monly called a sow, and straightway she came in at the door, with her mouth open ed wide, and wont to the child Michael aud took a foul hold upon him : 31. And did lift him up betwixt the heavens and the earth, and did carry him away to a placo hard by the potato-patch, whereat sho might more conveniently de vour him. 32. Now while this was taking place, the child cried in a loud voice and Ted dy, who was at work in the potato-patch, both heard and taw what had befallen i him ; ) 33. And being swift ot foot, Teddy did run to release the child, even' Michael : tho which was done after much' trouble and great vexation. ' 34. And Teddy took the child Michael in his arms, and carried him into tho house, and behold Patrick and Diddy Btill slept. 35. And Teddy was amazed, and culled unto them with a loud voice; and Diddy awoke, but Patrick stirred not. SG. And when Teddy had acquainted Did dy with that which had happened, she took the child Michael and found that he had been grcviously rent by the sow, iusomuch that a stranger could not tell what man ner of child he was. 37. And Teddy gave unto Diddy a strip of linen, which he had torn from the nethermost part of his undcr-garmcnt, and she made a bandage, and bound up tho wound and poured oil thereon. 38. Aud Diddy said unto Teddy, I charge thee, Teddy, as thoulivest, keep this thing to thyself; take heed that no one know it, not even Patrick ; but go thou and 6lay the sow, and give her flesh to tho dogs, but her skin with the bristles on thou wilt have tanned and brought unto me. 39. And Teddy gave promise, and wcut out to do that which ho had been commanded ; and when he had gone, sleep forsook Patrick, and he aroso and smoked his pipe in peace. 40. And while Patrick and Diddy were communing together, lo, tho woman with the bare feet and tho torn garments camo to the door and said unto them : 41. Verily, verily, ye thought mo pos sessed of a devil, but know yo not that the devil was in the sow and not in me; 42. Dut forasmuch as yo would not hearken unto my words, and have the child circumcised, even as I desired, therefore has this evil come upon him : Dehold now, he is neither male nor female. 43. And having spoken these words, the woman immediately went her way. 44. And Diddy held her peace, so that Patrick understood not the thing that the woman had spoken, but supposed it was A PARABLE. The Dcm. & Sait. says it can point out many instances wherein the late draft was "entirely fraudulent." Dosh ! Why not point them out, then ? What good end is attained by allowing concealment, like a worm i the mud, to prey on yourdam ask check ? We know our neighbor to be a re-mark-a-bly astute man, but in this instance we think, in fact we .arc sure ho lies under a mistake. If he can point out a single instance of fraud, lie ought to do so forthwith, and so point that wo may all be ablo to seo the point. Dew are of Last Cards ! Many idlo stories will doubtloss be fabricated on election-day, to injure our ticket. Dc licvc nono of them ! Tho opposition arc designing aud unscrupulous, and will re sort to any aud every artifice to insure their own success. Our Correspondence. FROM JOUXSTOWX. THE BOT AUBEKFELUT DEAD THE 54th p. v .
