" You are out satisfied. You are too
candid and generous. 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

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. T wish you saw how he manages

and 'tears, lie just holds its head tight

a great deal to myself. Papa and 111:111111Ia
are not young. and it appears to we that
a single child is not enough to draw out
the sympathies of a staid, silent e mple.
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'. How
ever. that is over. and I hope I'm going

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

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

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:

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.

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,

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
