You wish me to rake my refusal at once You feel that I. uui t,m old, too dull to presume—" Oh, no, no," Leslie exclaimed', fee ing herself convicted of terrible selfish- ness and conceit, while her heart was throbbing to pain with humility afid grab You have done me a great lion or, and if you would not be disappoint ed—if you would beau• with me if you mire not deceiving yourself' in your noble ness-4 should be so hai.py to go to rerndetin He thnked her eloquently, and talked to her a little longer, kindly and affec tionately, and then he offered to seek her father; arid left her to her agitated re flections. What a fine dignified man he looked. Could it he possible that this was her lot in life?. And the very sun which had risen upon her planning a walk with Mary Elliot next week, was yet streaming upon her poor post of gerani ums on the dusty window sill. She quitted her scat, and began to walk quickly up and down. " Leslie, you are shaliing the room." Mamma had been in the farther window with her sewing all the time. Le:tlie stole behind the brown window curtain, fluttering her hand among the Ell " Leslie you are pulling that curial') awry:" " I cannot help it, mamma." " Why not, child ? Arc you ill ?' " - Yes—no mamma, I don't know what to think—l can't think. But Hector Garret has asked me to be his wife." Mrs. Bower's needle dropped from her fingers She started at her daughter. She rose slowly " Impossible, Leslie," she observed. Leslie laughed hysterically. " Yes, indeed. It was very strange, but I hearti t every word." "Are you certain you are not mistaken ?" Mrs Bower had, never so cross exatn. iced her daughter in her life; but Leslie was not'disturbed or vexed by her in- credulity. "Quite certain I know it was only yesterday that you scolded me for taking liberties with his name; but he was per fectly serious, and ho has gone .to tell papa." " Mrs. Bower gazed wistfully,,on Leslie and a faint red color rose in her cheek while she interlaced her fingers nervously "Leslie,",abe asked again, in a shaken voice, " do you know what you are doing ?" Leslie looked frightened." Is it so very terrible, mamma ? I should possibly have married some day— most girls mean to do it—and only think of Ferodean and Otter. Besides, there, is nobody I could like so well as Hector Garret, I am quite sure, although I little guessed he oared so much for me ;" and Leslie's eyes fell, and a sunny, rosy glow manteled over her whole face; rendering it very soft and fair. " I see it is, to le, Leslie. May it be for. your welfare, my dear ;" and her mother , stooped abruptly ; and kissed the `young averted cheek. Leslie was awed. She dreaded that her fatlier wouldbe equally' moved, and then'she did not know how 'she could stand it., But she :night have spared herself the apprehension :'for,when ,the Prolessor shuffled in he sat, down as usual, fumbled for his spectacles, looked round with the most unconscious eye, observed that " Ware" had that day exceeded in his lecture by twenty minutes—" tr bad practice," (Dr. Bower was himself no toriously unpunctual); and took not the slightest notice of any event of greater importance until Leslie's suspense had been so lung on the rack that it began to subside into dismay, when, glancing up for a moment, he observed parentheti cally, as he turned a page—" Child ! you have my approval of a union with Elector Garrett—an odd fancy, but that is no business of ours,"—dropped his eyes again on his volume, and made no further allusion to the subject for the rest of the evening—no, nor even again of his own will, Hector Garret assailed him on preliminaries, his wife patiently waylaid and besieged him for the necessary funds, acquaintances congratulated him—he was by compulsion drawn more than once from roots and :esthetics ; but left to him self, he would have assuredly forgotten his daughter's wedding day, us he had dune that of her ba'ptism. Leslie recovered from the stunning sud denness of her fate, and awoke fully to its brightness To go down to Ayrshire and dwell there mnotig liill and streams, and pure heather-scented air, like any shepherdess; to be the nearest and dear est to (lector Garret, :--already his aginative, warm hearted girl began to raise him into a divinity. Leslie was supremely content, gay and giddy with present excitement ; with the pretty hustle of being so important and so occupied—she whose whole time late:y had been vacant and idle—so will- lug to admire her new possessions, so openly elated with their ,uperiority, and not insensiWe t the fact that all these prominent obtrusive can's were but little supeifl wins notes of the gnat s)mphony , neon which she Std enteied and who. , e itilluitely deeper, fulier, higher tones she would learn well by and by. Leslie Bower was the personification of joy, and no one meddled with her vis- ions. Hector Garret was making his or, partitions at Otter ; and when Leslie sang as she stitched, and rail lightly up and dmi Li, only the servant: in the kitchen hid their heads together, and confided t each mile: that never did they see su &Alin' a bride ; Miss Leslie should ken that a greetin' bride's a happy bride !" but no one told Leslie—no one taught her the tender meaning of the wise old proverb—no one warned her of the re alities of life, so much sadder, so much holier, purer, more peaceful than any illu sion. Her inother'had relapsed into her ordinary calmness, rather wounding Les lie's preeeptions when she allowed her self to think of it, for she did not read the lingering assiduity that was so intent it might have been employed upon her shroud. And there was no one else—no; Leslie was quite unaware that her glad- IIeSS WaS 0111111011 S. Only the shadow of a warning crossed Leslie's path of roses, and she disregard ed it. Iler confidence in !lector Garret and in lift, remained etribounded. Leslie hone t 7 the best known of her early companions, her cup brimming over in the gracious privilege of begging Mary Elliot to be her bridesmaid. The Elhots had been kind to her, and had once taken her to their cheerful country house; and now Merry was to witness the, ceremony, and Hector Garret had said thatshe might, if they pleased, pay Les lie a long visit at Otter. Mary Elliot was a little older, a little more experienced in womanly'k nowledge than Leslie. " How strange it sounds that you should be married so soon, Leslie, from your old house, where we thought you buried. We believed that you must lead a single life, unless your father made a pet of one of his students ; and then you must have waited until he left college." "It is the reverse. I have no time to lose," nodded Leslie; " only I lector Gar ret is not old-looking I don'tbelieve that he has a gray hair in his head. He is a far handsomer man than Susan Cheyne's sister's husband." " I know it; he was pointed out to me in the street. Is he very fond of you, Leslie ?" " I lippose—a little, or he would not have me." . " Does he flatter you, pretend that you area queen, say all manner offine things to you ? I should like to be enlightened." " No, no, Mary; real men are not like men in books—and he is not foolish." " But it is not foolish in a lover.r - "They are all out of theit senses—blinded by admiration and 'passion." " Perhaps; but Ueda - Garret is a clever man, only he speaks when he is Spoken to, and does not forget you when out nf sight. And do you know, I have been used to clever people, and decidedly prefer to look alp to a man." "What does he call you, Leslie ?" Why, Leslie, to be sure, or Miss. Bower. 'You would not have him say Mrs. Garret yet ?" and Leslie: covered leer face and• laughed again, and Ad .denOd to the tips of her fingers. • Not Bonnie Leslie,' Jewel," An del,':jestca Mary, thrilling at the echo of a certain lowi fluttered voice, that Carlisle, Pa., Friday, September 8, 1865 sounded in her own ears, and would wil fully repeat, " Winsome Mary," "Little Woman,' " Witch." "No," Leslie replied, with a,n honest frankness, " that would be speaking non sense; and if Hector Garret thinks non sense that is bad enough." "Do you remember how we talked sometimes of our husbands ?" " Yes, I do. They were all to be he 1 009." " And you were to be courted on hee ded knees. Yes, Leslie, solicited again and again ; and when you yielded at last, it should be such an act of grace that the poor fellow would be half mad with delight." " I was mad myself. I was full ofsoine song or hit of peet;y. I fell you again, Mary, if you have not found it out for yourself', real life is not like a book.— Hector Garret is not the man to beg and implore, and wait. patiently for a score of years.

They have been very kind to me all my life, and I ought to be glad that they will not miss me much. But although it was wrong, I have often felt a little for lorn, and Lien tempted to have had, dis contented thoughts all by myself'.

I would like to do Hector garret credit ; not that I can really do so in any eyes but his own." =II I= Ileetor I,n,arrel had his girl wife at ( )t ter. and very sunny her existence was for the lustrum of that honeymoon. It was almost sufficient it her to be at lib erly, fairly installed in her castle in the air. a country home; and its lord and master was generous, indulgent,' and wasted, he did nut care to say how many days, in displaying to her the green ruin ousness of Fernilean—in climbing the hills and htuttiu, out the wildest bows Mr her—in taking her out in his boat. and rowing her in sunshine and shade, enjoying her wonder and exultation most benevolently. In a short time he left her to herself, fin• he had much property, to whose numerous details he attended with rigid conscientiousness, and he had been a student from his youth, and sat almost as much in his library, although it was an airier and more s heterogene ously fitted-up sanctuary, as Dr. Bower, Leslie was perfectly satisfied ; in fact, while the novelty around her was fresh, she preferred to wander about at her leisure, and find out places for herself; because Hector Garret, was always hurry ing her, and she was trying so hard to be clever, active, and amiable. Alt, that slight strain already perceptible. that growth or ignorance, misconception, and extravagant reverence—what fruit would it bear ? Otter was a rambling white house in a green meadow opening to the sea. Its salient points were its size and age. The slowest growing shrubs in its pleasane were tough, seamed, branched, and bow ed with time There were few trees in the neighborhood except at forsaken Ferndean ; but there were low, swelling hills crowned with heather clustering in the valley over which Otter presided with the dignified paternal character of the great house of Strath or Glen. Leslie smiled when she first heard the natives of the district term the gray or glittering track that bounded the western horizon, " The,Otter Sea," but very soon she fell into the use of the same name, and was conscious of feeling far more interest iti the boats and ships that crossed that limited space, than in those which she saw from the bill tops spread fain and wide over a great expanse broken only by the misty Irish coast line. Indeed, Hector Garret explained to her that he had seigneurial claims over that strip of waves--that the seaweed, and, after cer tain restrictions, the fragments of wreck cast upon its sands, were =his property, quite as much as .if be had waved - his banner over it, like the gallant Spaniard in the name of His Most Catholic Ma jesty. Leslie bad variety in her locality : the beach, with its huge boulders and in spiring music ; the fields and " uplands airy," with their hedge wealth of vetch, briory, and bramble; the garden, the an cient walled garden at whose antiquities Hector Garret laughed, its high. screens of privet and box, its sweet william and stock, its pippins and oodlings,its.bitter black cherries and small-damson plums = it was Eden- to • Leslie, only Adam would probably have proved less senten.: tious to a poor town-bred wight; than the Otter. garden potentate, Robin Blair. - •Leslie played sad pranks in the early season of her disenthrelment. - She wan- dered far and near, and soiled the white gowns then so popular to wear, to the despair of the Otter servant who did up the master's shirts and managed the mis tress's clear starching, but who never dreamt, in those days of frills, robes, and flounces, of styling herself a laundress. Leslie filled her apron with mosses and lichens; she stole out after the reapers had left the patch of oats which was not within sight of the house, and gathered among the sheaves like a Ruth. She grew stout and hardy, and in spite of her gypsy bonnet, as brown as a berry under this out of-door life, until no one would have known the waxen faced city girl; and many a time when Hector llarret left. his study in the dusk and found his way to the drawing room, he discovered her asleep from very weariness, with her head laid down on her spindle-legged work table, and the white moonbeams trying to steal under her long eyelashes. He would tread softly, and stand and gaze, but he never stooped and kissed her cheek in merry frolic, never in yearn• ing tenderness. nch was Leslie's holiday: lether have it--it ended, certainly. The bleak Octo ber winds began to whistle in the chim neys and lash the Otter sea into form : the mornim , mists were white and dense on the hills, and sometimes the curtain never rose the whole day; the horns were hotCrse and muddy, the sheep in fold, the little birds silent. Leslie loved the prospeet still, even the wild gray clouds rent and whirled across the sky, the watery sun, th e ranged, wan. drip ping verdure ; hut it made her shiver. too, and turn to her fireside, where she would dose and yaIVII, work and weary IPT bmg solitary hours. Hector 4darret was patient and good humred ; he look the trouble to teach her any knowledge to which she a , pired ; hut e was so far beyond her, so hope lessly superior, that she was vexed and ashamed to confess to him her ignorance, toil it was clear that when he came up to her domain in the evening, he liked hest to rest himself, or to play with her in a fondling, toying way. After tl.e fir t interntinal le rainy day which she had spent by herself at otter, when he enter d and proceeded in his cool, rather lazy fashion to tap her under the chin, to in q uire if she had been counting the rain drips, to bid her try his cigar, she felt somethitv ! , swelling in her throat, and an swered hint shortly and crossly ; but when she found that he trea'ed her offended air as tl e whim of a spoilt child, and was rather the in ,re amused at it, she deter mined that he should not be entertained by her humors. Perilous entertainment as it was, Leslie could not haze afforded it . ; her wilderness tamed her so, that she welcomed Hector Garret eagerly, submit ted to be treated as a child, exerted her self to prattle away gaily and foolishly when her heart was a little heavy and her spirit languid. Leslie saw so little of her husband— perhaps it was the case with all wives ; her father and mother were as'irtuch apart—but Leslie did not understand the necessity. She did not like her life to be selfish, smooth, and aimless, except for her own fancies, as it bad, been from the first. She wanted to sharp% Hector Gar ret's cares, and his work which he trans acted so faithfully. She wished he thought her half as worth consulting as his stew ard. She had faith in woman's wit. She had a notion that she herself was quick and could become painstaking. She tried entering his room once or twice uninvit ed, but he always looked so discontented, and when she withdrew so relieved, that she could not persevere in the attempt. When Hector Ghrrett went shooting or fishing, Leslie would have acoompan led him gladly, would have delighted in his trophies, and carried his bag or his basket, if he had allowed it, like any Billie or eallant of the Highlands or LoMantis ; but his excursions were too remote' and fatiguing, and beyond the strength that was supposed consistent with her sex and and nurture. Little fool ! to assail another's respon sibilities and avocations, when her own were embarrassing her sufficiently. Her household web bad got warped and en tangled in her careless, inexperienced hands, and vexed and mortified her. with a sense of incapacity and failure—iin op pression which she cou'd not own to Heti-. for Gene' t, because there was no common ground and no mutual understanding be tween them. When Leslie came to Otter she found the housekeeping in the bands of an Irish follower of the Garrets—them selves of Irish origin; and Hector Garret presented Bridget Kennedy to his wife as his faithful and honored servant; whom he recommended to a high place in her regard. Bridget Kenn .dy displayed more marked traces of race than •her master, but it was the Celtic riatnre.,under its „least attractive aspect to strangers, proud, passionate, fanciful, and vindictive. She was devoted to her master, and capable of consideration for Leslie on his account —though -jealous of--her-.entrance - upon the stage of Otter; but she evinced. this, reflected interest by eneroaeliments and tyranny, a general determination to ad-. here ,doggedly to her own ways; and to impose them upou her mistress: Leslie began by..admiring Bridget, as she did every thing else at Otter t her TERMS:--$2,00 in Advance, or $2,50 within the year apple-,green poplin, her fine linen neck erchief, her steel chain and rattling keys, her bright black eyes, and by pitying her lameness.---she bad been deformed and disabled from her birth, and her fiery spirit had kept up an unceasing contort. tion with the flesh, Leslie would have propitiated the'rriayor of the palace with kind words and attentions, but when she was snapped up in her efforts, she drew back with a girl's aptness to be affronted and repelled. Next Leslie began to re sist.angrily Bridget's unbecoming inter ference with her movements, and, design of exercising authority and control over the child that the master had chosen to set over his house; but her fitful impul ses were met and overruled by stubborn and slenderly veiled fierceness. Leslie was not weak, but she was undisciplined ; and she - who had been the young Hot spur of the most orderly and pacific of families, learnt to tremble at the sound of Bridget's crutch in the lobbies, and her shrill voice rating the servantsfyin,g to do her bidding. Those luckless, long-haired Merovin gian monarchs, what a figure do they make in history! Leslie was not quite so supine, but in proportion as sh o e, cowered at hcr subordinate, the subordinate was tempted to despise her and lord it over her. Hector Garret was blind to his conten tion ; for his own part he humored Brid get, or smiled at her asperities, as suited him, and it is probable that if appealed to he would have adopted his old favorite's side and censured Leslie as touchy, incon siderate, perhaps a little spiteful; but ho never was made umpire, for Leslie had all the disadvantage of a noble temper in an unseemly struggle. Bridget plagued Les lie, but Leslie would not injure Bridget,— no, not fur the world. The imperious old woman was Hector Garret's friend ; he had said that he had known no firmer iend than Bridget Kennedy. She had closed his father's eyes, she had *nod by himself' in sickness and sorrow (for all his sirength and self command, Hector had known sickness anSsorrow, that was a tnaive) to Leslie)—Bridget might clutch her rights to the end, what did it signify ? only a little pique and bitterness to an in terloper. Leslie had ceased to credit that she would ever becomethe wise, helpful wo- wan that she had once warmly desired to see herself , for her own defects were now fiwiliar and sorely disheartening to her, and she had grown aware that she could not by inspiration set and preserve in smooth, swift motion, the various wheels of Otter, not even if—unlooked-for and undesired sequel !—she received express permission to dance upon the head of old 3ridget Leslie had fancied once, when Hector Garret told her how few neighbors lived within visiting distance, that she should not want society ; but the solitude was matter of regret, especially when it proved that of the few families who exchanged rareintercourse, some of better birth than breeding scarcely held the daughter of the disinherited laird and Glasgow scholar as on their level in social rank, or a spouse worthy of the master of Otter, and enti tled to their especial esteem. The only house of any prelention with: in sight of Otter was situated at the oth• er extremity of the bay, on a peninsula, projecting far into the sea, built in the days when each mansion was a fortalice, and safety from enemies of more moment than the convenience of friends. This Earlscraig was now little more than a grim, grey turret, seldom occu pied; the companion body of the build ing had been destroyed nearly a score of years before by a fire—the tragedy of the countryside, as it consummated the ruin of an old family—and in its horrors a lady of the house perished miserably. So the sight °tits cold cluster of chimneys, wind rocked walls, and scorched and crumb ling vestiges of sudden destruction, far from adding to the cheerfulness of the landscape, was a blot on its rural prosper ity. The homes of humbler friends were fireign thresholds to Leslie; the reserved, engrossed, dignified master of Otter cross ed them with a freer step. Leslie could but address her servants, and venture to intrmeddle bashfully with their most ob• vious concerns. She had neither tongue nor eye for more distant and difficult de pendents. But Leslie was not dying of ennui nor spleen, nor miserable with a nameless, Fathomless misery. She was only disen chanted—conscious of feeling a great deal older than she had done six months since. How could she have been so credulous, so vain Verily, every path of roses has its panoply of thorns. A BOOT-BLACK'S REVENGE.-A boot black got off a good "note" the other day. Ho was plying his vocation on the ourb and was at the same time lamenting the falling off of rocoiptd, when a gentleman, hearing his lamentations,' interceded in his behalf and called up several friends who, of, course, hada Maine." A physi cian who had just stepped ' into the street from his . office was among the persons ap pealed to "by the friend of the boot-blaek, but on hearilng , his natno ,the boy said. he did riot want , to black the Doctor's boots. On being asked thereation` for Ms dislike he said the Doctor bad kicked him down a flight of stairs for being "sassy !" "But," added the disciple of the brush and box, with a vindictive leer, "I've had my revenge; I caught his dog twice and pounded him like thunder !" COLONEL JACOB M. CAMPBELL. The importance of the pending politi cal campaign in this State, and the en- thusiasm everywhere created among loyal men by the nomination of two distin guished soldiers for the only offices to be filled this year by general ticket, natural ly call for more than a brief reference to the antecedents ant' characteristics of our standard-bearers. In another place we have given such information as we possess concerning the civic and military record of Major General HARTRANFT, the oabdi date for Auditor General, and in this ar ticle we propose to tell what we know of our friend and fellow citizen, Colonel CAMPBELL, the nominee for Surveyor General. JACOB M. CAMPBELL is a native ,of that old' Whig stronghold, Somerset coun ty, where he was born just forty-four years ago. When a mere youth his pa rents removed to Allegheny city, where he went to school until . 1835. In that year, being fourteen years old, he became an apprentice in the office of the Somer set RYleig , Democratic newspaper, in which , . be remained until he had mastered as much of the printing business as could be learned in a country office of that day. In 1840 ho left Somerset and worked fur some time "at case" in the office of the Literarll Examiner, a monthly magazine of considerable merit published in Pi'ts trirgh. 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 lin 1840, as does the oil business in l 865, ti ntptii g inducements to enterprising spirits who care less fur hard km eks than for the substantial benefits which they sometimes produce. Laying down his composing stick, the boy of ,nineteen be, came a steamboatinan, and for scrotal sub sequent years filled successively the posi nuns of clerk, mate and part owner of a ve,sel, always, however, making Pennsyl vania his home, which he frequently vis ited. In 1847 the iron business of our State attracted his attention, and he em barked in it at Brady's Bend. In the same year he married. In 1851 he fol lowed the course of empire to California, but did not long remain there, and in 1853 we find hint in Johnstown, assist ing in the construction of our mammoth rolling-mill. With this splendid enter prise he remained connected up to the breaking out of the war, holding all the time an important and responsible posi tion. He was one of the few men who knew how to build and manage success fully the greatest iron establishment in the Union. In April, 1861, Fort Sumter was bom barded and the first call appeared fbr vol unteers to "rally round the flag." At the time Mr. CAMPBELL was first lieuten ant of a volunteer company in Johnstown, and this company at once tendered its ser vices to the Governor, who promptly ac cepted them. It was the first company to enter Camp Curtin,—Upon the organ ization of the Third regiment of Pennsyl vania Volunteers, Lieutenant CAEPBELL was appointed Quartermaster, a position which he filled with great acceptability until the regiment was discharged. On the 28th of July he was mustered out of service, and on the 30th was commis sioned to , recruit a regiment. In due time the regilnent was raised, the com panies composing it having been mainly recruited through Col. CAMPBELL'S in dividual exertions. i Eight of the compa nies were recruited in Cambria and Som erect counties, and two in Lehigh and Northampton counties. The regiment was designated the Fifty-Fourth. For two years this regiment performed the arduous duty of guarding sixty nii!es of the Baltimoreand Ohio Railroad, and while thus engaged really protected the Maryland and Pennsylvania border from Rebel invasion 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 arid prop erty during 1862 and 1863, the two most critical years of the war. The position of the blifty4ourth Was, at all times, an exceedingly trying and dangerous one, requiring the exorcise of the utmost vig ilance and the soundest diseretion. Dur ing its guardianship of the railroad, it was frequently engaged - in skirmishes with the enemy, and upon more than one occasion gave timely and valuable infor mation of his movements and designs. In addition to his ordinary duties as com mander of the regiment, Col. CAMBELL was almost daily called upon during this period to decide disputes between Rebels and Unionists residing along the line of the railroad, and it is no exaggeration to say Thal in 'no instance was justice scheated or rascality rewarded. It is not our assertion merely, but the teatimony, Of Ile are cognizant of tire faots, that-the commander of the Fifty-fonrth „manifested on all occasions the posseasiort of judicial talent of. a. highorder.. "'his purely oteentive ability the sudden. ful and ;always satisfactory manner in whichthe regiment guarded those sixty miles of railroad in a hostile territory is the only proof that we need cite. We had almast.omitted to mention that from March; 1868;, until March, 1864, vol. CAMPBELL was in command of the P6urth, brigade, First division, Eighth army corps, in 'which was his own regiment. Early in 1864 Gen. SIGEL took com mand of the Department of West Vir ginia, and - moved with 'all his available troops to Martinsburg, preparatory to a movement up rho Shenandoah Valley. In a reorganization of the troops which took place, Col. CAMPBELL, at his own request, returned to his command of his regiment. At the battle of New Mar ket, May 15th, the regiment suffered se verely. It oocupied 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, lent of the line, and this time flank ing the enemy's right and attacking him in the rear. After the battle Colonel CAMPBELL was assigned to the command of a brigade, and as a special favor his own regiment was transferred to it, that it might remain under its old commander. 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 com mand of his division. He continued in its command until its consolidation into NO, 36. a brigade, 'consequent upon its many losses in killed and wounded, and after ward commanded the brigade. After SHERIDAN came to the head of the De partment, he participated in the engage ments in the Shenandoah under that re nowned chieftain until he was mustered out of service nearly two months after he expiration of his three years' term of en! stment, his total period of service, including the three months' campaign, it will thus be seen, covered nearly three years and a half. Col. CAmPBELh's record as a politician will bear ex a mination. Reared in the school of Jackson Demoaracy, he voted in 1841 for PoLK and DALLAS. In 184-8, however, he abandoned the party which, he had become convinced, was the cham pion of slavery extension and the foe to Pennsylvania's best interests, and voted for the Free Soil candidates, VAN ISt;- ttry and ADAMS. His residence in the South had shown him the evils of sla very, and he therefore gave his vote against the party whiolisought its exten sion. In 1`52 he voted again fur the Free Soil nominees, HALE and JELEAN, awl in 1856 was the delegate from Cam bria county to the FuEmosT convention. Ile took an active part in advocating Re publican principles in his own county during that ,Near , and at once took rank with the people of the country as a poli tician of fairness, ability arid zeal. Ills influence in county politics continued to be felt during succeeding years , In 1859 he was presented by the Republicans of Cambria for the Senatorial nomination in the district then composed of Cambria, Blair and Clearfield, and a little more than one month ago he was again unani mously selected as the choice of the Un ion party of Cambria for Senator from the district composed of Cambria,. Indi ana and P n'fferSOO. That he was not nom inated on either occasion by the district conference was not owing to a want of appreciation of his worth and services, but to the supposed superior claims of the county which was honored with the nonmeo Such is, in detail, the private and pub- lie record of our candidate for Surveyor General. If it is not a brilliant one, it is., at east, consistent, manly and patriotic Of Col. CANIeBELL'S mental and mor - I characteristics it becomes us to say but little. He is a shrewd businest man, a public-spirited citizen, a good worker, and an honest man. Without having enjoyed the advantages of a liberal edu cation, he is nevertheless, one of the best read men in the State. He is a clear thinker, and remarkably cool and cau tious in judgement. In a long acquant ance we have rarely known him to err in his estimate of public men or the wisdom of public measures. Ho is a man of marked sagacity., His social character istics are of that class which never fails to create the warmest friendships and to command the respect of all. That.le is worthy of the office for which he has been nominated is conceded by those who know the man That he and his gallant colleague, General HARTRANFT, will be elected by overwhelming majorities, is already a foregone conclusion. --Johns .l own Tribune.
