We copy from tbe Pitts burg Commercial of Friday last : This Court was occupied during Wednesday and Thursday in trying the case of Rev. William Lynch, pastor of the South Com mon M. E. Church, Allegheny, who had been indicted for perjury. The following is a brief summary of the case, as elicited daring the trial :-Leander S. Lynch, a minor, son of Rep-. Wm. Lynch, was ac cused before the Mayor of stealing a watch from the jewelry establishment of Messrs. Johnston & Scott, Liberty rL, in August hst, and selling it to a pawnbroker. lie was arrested, and held to bail in the sum of 5500 for his appearance at Court, his father entering the required security. Shortly afterwards, a proposition was made tj Mr. Lynch to settle the case upon the payment cf $200, which he refused to do. Aa arrangement, however, was effected for young Lynch to enter tho army as a substitute, for the consideration of SI, 050, and en the 22d of September last Rev. Lynch appeared before Alderman Johns, for the purpose of testifying to the minor ity of his sou. The Government also re quires an affidavit from some party con versant with the facts (in the case of tubstitutcs), who can testify that the person' has not been charged with nor convicted of a felony. The prosecution alleged that Mr. Lynch took an oath to that effect, while he was aware that a charge of larceny had been preferred sgainst his son. The case attracted con siderable attention, particularly among the members of Mr. Lynch's congregation, a large number of whom were in attendance during the trial. About fifty witnesses wre examined, and it being clear to the minds of the jury that Mr. Lyuch labored under a misapprehension in regard to the content of the affidavit, they rendered a verdict of uot guilty within a few moments alter leaving the box. The Rev.- Lynch above referred to was formerly Presiding Elder of the Rlairs villa District of the 31. E. Church, and h well and favorably known throughout Cambria county. The Draft. The question just now i'. or ought to be Is Ebensburg going to jut in her quota of mn under the late call, and so avoid a draft 1 This question, in spirit, is one which as intimately 3on ' cern3 the other sub-districts ot Cambria county, as it does Ebensburg. That there will be a draft on or about the 15th February, docs not seem to ad fcit of a doubt. We have semi-official assurance for saying that the "wheel of fate" will positively be set in motion on that day, or very soon thereafter. The term cf enlistment of a large number of our soldiers expires in the spring, and their places in the field must be filled. There is a great deal of talk aboutpeace just now. Pcaco is popsible, but not probable. The rebels may, and again they may not, entertain a desire to beat their swords into ploughshares and their Bpears into pruning-hooks. Our own pri , vate opinion, which i3 about as valuable and as infallible as that of any modern Delphic oracle extant, and which is based 0n her own oft-repeated declarations, is, ltat the South will give up the contest and return into the Union only when sheer exhaustion compels her so to do. That rae is nigh to hand, but not yet come. Put not your trust of safety from the rft and its alarms in possible postpone ments of the day of draft, neither in peace ppeningn These are both exceedingly Bi'ppcry reeds. If it b the intention of Ebensburg, or wy other sub-district, to make an effort to put in her quota, she should bo up and doing. Only twenty-one days remain for the performance of the work in hand. The back-bone of the rebellion is about brokenthat is reduced to an acknowl edged fact. The rebels themselves admit Unless all signs fail, peace will be ar 'lVed at, if not one way, then another, before the end of sixmonths. The pres CQt will therefore be the last draft. Meet its requirements promptly and 3rfa;1J, and its burdens will bear upon Sam no more forever. Cambria County and the State Finances. -Through the kindness of Hon. C. L.

There are not many districts in the State that pay a heavier tax for the support of the Government, or pay it more promptly. Soldiers' Orphans. Mr. E. Shoe maker, chairman of the Soldiers' Orphans Committee of Cambria county,, requests us to say that he is now prepared to re ceive applications for admission into the schools set apart by the bounty of the State for the education and maintenance. of the children of Pennsylvania soldiers who have fallen in the service of their country. Any child of any Pennsylvania soldier who died or was killed in the Union army is entitled to admission into one of these schools, and, in case of indigence, will be boarded, lodged, and clothed at the pub lic expenso during the period he remains therein. This is an important matter, and one affecting the welfare of a class entitled to our warmest sympathies and gratitude. There be many soldiers' orphans in our midst, and it is the bounden duty and should be the pleasure of every citizen to see that all such receive to the fullest ex tent the benefits and advantages which tbe State confers upon them as their well earned dues.

Married: At the residence of the bride's parents, in Cambria tp., on Tues day, 24th inst, by Rev. William Lloyd, William H. Sechler, Esq., of Ebens burg, to Miss Maggie Lloyd. I saw two clouds at morning, Tinged by the rising sun, And in the dawn they floated on, And mingled into one : I thought that morning cloud was bless'd, It moved so sweetly to the west. I saw two summer currents Flow smoothly to their meeting, And join their course, with silent force, In love each other greeting; Calm was their way, thro' banks of green, While dimpling eddies play'd between. Such be your gentle motion, Till life's last pulse eh all beat ; Like summer's beam, and summer's stream, Float on, in joy to meet A calmer sea, where storms shall cease A purer sky, where all is peace. Died : At Chattanooga, Tennessee, on the 18th inst., Dr. Robert Montgomery Smith Jackson, aged probably 50 years. At the time of his death, and for a year or more prior, the deceased was Medical Director in the Department of the Ten nessee. He resided at Cresson, this coun ty, and was widely known and esteemed as an educated, talented, and high-toned gentleman, while as a doctor of medicine he ranked eecond to none. He was the author of a book entitled "The Moun tain," published seme six or eight years ago, the mirth-provoking eccentricities of which, coupled with its manifest profun dity of thought and vividness of descrip tion, won for it much attention.

CHRISTIAN COMMISSION CHAPEL FOB THE KINTH CORFS A TASTEFUL EDIFICE GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF IT, C, AC. Correspondence of The Alleghanian.- Meade's Station, Va., Jan. 16. In casting about for something of in terest to jot down for the benefit of your readers, the thought struck" me that noth ing could be more worthy of record than the industry and good taste displayed in the erection of a chapel for the 9th corps, or a portion ot it, by the agent of the Christian Commission at this point. By way of preface, let mo say that Meade's Station a comparatively short, time since was a point known chiefly on the time-tables of the Army Line Railroad, there being but little to distinguish it from any other portion of the road. But since it became apparent that the army had ceased from active operations for the winter, there has sprung up a sheeted vil lage, in which the Christian Commission chapel is the most prominent building. The correctness of design displayed in this structure, and the perfection of work manship attained under peculiarly difficult circumstances, deserve more than a pas sing notice. No other tools were used than hatchet, hand-saw, ax and auger. But these, being used by skillful hands and willing hearts, have proved sufficient for the erection of a chapel at once com fortable and neat to such an extent as to elicit praise from all who have viewed it. While it is not within the scope of my expectation adequately to describe tho structure, in all its parts, I shall yet make the best effort in my power to convey a correct idea of it. The work was commenced on the 27th day ot December, and completed on the evening of the 14th inst. The timber, excepting the eave boards and flooring, was taken from the woods, and where hewing was necessary, hewed into shape. The walls of tho building consist of a stockade made from pine timber, from eight to twelve inches in thickness, split into two pieces, the split side facing in ward. These pieces are sunk into the ground to the depth of about eighteen inches, and kept in position by a strip J nailed along the top of them. In the middle of each end-wall rises a beam on which to rest the ridge-pole of the roof. The gable-ends are formed by resting one end of small poles on the top of the stock ade, and the other against the beam of which mention has been made, so as to form the hypotenuse of. a triangle. The walls are made proof against the winter blast by having the spaces between the upright pieces daubed with plaster formed from surface sand and clay. A large sheet of canvas duck forms the roof, thro' which is admitted as mellow and pleasant a light as one could well desire. The length of the building is forty-two feet, and width seventy-three. I shall close the description of the outer appearance of the structure by making mention of the steeple that rises over the entrance, and which, though made of small pine sap lings, is a credit both to the head that designed and the hands that constructed it. . Stepping inside the door, the eye be holds, on a background of white, a num ber of beautiful devices. The chief of these is an arch, on which is the inscrip tion, "God is love," the letters being composed of evergreens. Above this in scription is the badge of the 9th Army Corps. The whole inside of the edifice is tastefully hung with pine, holly, wild or ange, and the like, adding greatly to the beauty of its. appearance. The dedication took place yesterday, Sunday, in presence of a large and inter ested audience. The sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Parker, of Massachusetts, from the text, "Worship God' found in Rev. xxii, 9. Perhaps I should say that the erection of the building was performed by the members "of the 209th, and tho?e of some contiguous batteries. In sending letters, persons should be careful to write the direction so plain that it may be read at a glance. Letters often go wrong because not plainly directed. Thus, by making a poor figure "9," it may be mistaken for a "7," and the letter be ours sent to the 207th regiment instead of The health of the company continues rrnrwl ' tliniirTi llioro ia sna o-ioo r f onrlnna illness with the company, and perhaps one away from it.
