Scolder, Esq, and F. l Tiorn-.y, Esq, were admitted to practice law iu the seve ral courts of Cambria county, at the ad journed court on Tuesday morning. Wc were present at the examination of these gentlemen, and they acquitted themselves very creditably. From their talents and their persevering industry, added to their upright and gentlemanly conduct we be speak for them aft honorable grade in their profession. Abraham Llucoln and and Jeff Mavis. These two men now at the head of the Governments which four years ago, was a united and glorious country, are entire ly unlike in every attribute except their ambition and usurpation. Four years since they had both the reputation of being honest men, but the' have both out lived that reputation. Davis is a traitor to his country, but he is a polished man and an accomplished gentleman. Hefore the war broke out he stood high in the estimation of his countrymen a3 a patriot and a warrior and a statesman, both at the North and the South, and we believe his Southern brethren are willing to ac credit him 6till with these characteristics. It' he could be successful in permanently establishing the Southern Confederacy his name would go down to posterity in a glorious record. If unsuccessful and the Union restored to its former dimensions, then In3 character may not stand so fair. Under all circumstances his character now and hereafter will be preferable to Abraham Lincoln's. Abraham went in disguise to assume the position that he was legally entitled to occupy, as no man but a coward would have done. He swore on the holy evangelist that he would protect and defend the Constitution and see that the laws would be faithfully executed. He delivered his first message iu which lie declared that he had no wish or no power to interfere with State insti tutions. Many at that time, of those w ho did not support him believed him honest, among whom was tho lamented Douglas. Indeed, few even of his opponents believed that he intended to perjure himself and act as a traitor to his country. He how ever surrounded himself with those men who had for many years shewed them selves favorable to a dissolution of the Union, or the abolition of slavery. He placed these men in his cabinet so far as lie could accommodate them, and lie gave missions and offices to none but that class of men. So that when he had the ma chine ready for running, the whole Go vcrnment was entirely Aholitionizcd. He thought and said that the men who elected him would fight the battle for him, in this ho was mistaken, for they were not ihe fighting men of the country. lie hit upon another expedient which answer ed his purpose admirably. He sent a fleet out to threaten Charleston under pre tence of bringing assistance to the fort, but in reality to get the people of that city so irritated that they would commit some overt act that would arouse the people, and so they did, they lired on Fort Sum ter, and when Abe heard it, he could scarcely contain himself for joy. He laughed and rubbed his hands, and said " I knew they would do it." The coun try was then in a blaze. Democrats and He-publicans were then in fjr the war A good mrmy rotten Democrats got offi ces in the army, Major-Generals, Driga-dier-Generals and Contractors, such as Duller, Dix, &c. At this period they thought they could conquer the South and take tlieir slaves lrom them in sixty or at fuithest ninety days. Hull's Hun battle came oil", and the result was that Abia ham and his Abolition Cabinet and his Abolition Congress were trembling in their boots, and they hastened to pass the Crit tenden resolutions, declaring that the war was not for the abolition of slavery, but to restore the Union. He knew in his heart then he was lieing, and so did his Abolition Congress. Hut he had not got his fangs sullieie-ntly close to the throat of the people yet to let his purpose be made manifest to them. Every little success the North got ever since, gave the Presi dent a new opportunity to issue some new proclamation for the negro, until ho now appears in all his naked ugliness. I low can Abraham Lincoln and Jeffer son Davis be compared ? The latter is dragging every man he can get in the Southern Confederacy to fight his battles tor his own aggrandizement. Lincoln is doing the same. He has now more sol diers wandering around through the States, to attend to the elections and drag men from their families or frighten them off for political purposes, than General Scott conquered all Mexico with. The one is a traitor to his country, the other in a traitor to the Constitution. Abraham is a l.Tnion man, his party is a Union party, and their candidates are Union candidates ! They think the people will be gulled by the name. It has about as much mean ing as calling Lincoln, " honest old Abe." So far as Davis is concerned, ha wants no Union. So far as Lincoln is concerned, he wants no Union. Except slavery is frst abolished. No Constitution as it is, no Union as it was, is his doctrine. ' To all whom it may concern," proves this beyond a doubt. Then they are both traitors to the Union, one as bad as the other, and both deserve the halter. Personally they are not alike at all, the one is a high toned gentleman, the other a clown. The one is a statesman and a soldier, the other a coward anil paltroon. There are no two men at the head of af fairs in the universe that we know any thing of, more unlike than those two men who are working so busily for the des truction of the United Siates. 1'arabfe Continued. Chapter 3. 1. Ami it came to pass, on the Sabbath da-, early in the morning, Abraham said to his wife, I will go an J see Matthias, and hear what he says, regarding the on rolling. 2. And lie arose and put on his best garments and went his way towards tho icsidence of Matthias; and there he found Mattliias after taking his morning meal, regaling himself with the funie-s of an Indian plant called tobacco. 3. And he entered in and said, p ace be to thee Matthias ; and Matthias arose an 1 said : I did not expect my benefactor so early in the morning, and have not yet put on my goodly raiment which I should have done. You will therefore enjoy yourself until I return. 4. And Abraham said unto him on his return after being clad in fine linen and goodly raiment: .Matthias dost thou like tho ollice which was apjxrtioned to thee by the house hold of the Kuler, our friend ? o. And Matthias answered and said : verilv I say unto you, that in this genera- ' (T. .. .. , . tion there is no ollice could suit a loyal loyal man better than mine does me. The pay is good, and the perquisites may le good, bad or indifferent as the loyal board of en roliers think it meet to do ; but of this our right hand should not know what our left hand doe-th. C. Again 1 say unto you my work is easy and my burthen is light, I fare sump tuously every day, I sit in judgment on the perverse subjects that come to the enrol Ier and look as if 1 was filled with w isdom and understanding. I have bought a farm and waxed rich anel Lunger shall no more visil my bonos. 7. The more I make the more my loy alty increases, and the more my loyalty increases, the more the hatred for the dis loyal reptiles called copperheads increases, until I marvel how any one can do any thing else but sing hosannahs to our great Ruler the Rail-Splitter. 8. And again he said unto him : Low is it with thee my friend, will you become one of the elect in the great counsel of the nation where you can freely commune with Abraham the honest, William the. cunning, and Edward the bold. 0. And Abraham answered and said unto him : my calling and election is i-i great doubt, if thou canst not help me out in my peculiar need. And Matihias said I unto him: speak Abralrim, for I am thy bondman and se rvant. 1 0. I shall go to the holy city of Wash- I ington, answered Abraham, and there represent to those now in authority, that j the people in the districts along the luoun j tain tops are ungodly and di.leyal and ask I them to send some loyal centurians with j their soldiers to watch them and they can j help me along. 11. Whilst I do this, do thou and thy co-laborers commence the lots for this place wherein dwell the most of my ene mies. Have them warned immediately that they must go and fight the battle for the African race and our great Ruler. 12. Those of my enemies who are sound of body :md wind and limb will depart to a tt range land lest they get into the hands of the centurians and they shall not be here to count against me. And the cripple, the halt, the lame, the blind and the leprous shall appear before you, and I shall be there, and they shall be exempt through my influence, and they shall be my friends and count for me. 13. See that thou dost not warn tho.se living in the valleys east of the mountains to appear before theo until my election is past, for they are my friends. See that thou tell no man this. 14. And Matthias answered and said : it shall be done as thou hast commanded, for lo ! I am thy servant. - Farewell. Adjourned Court. Tho adjourned court gave out on Tuesday evening. There were few stran gers in town except those that had cases on the argument list. There were not many gating naturalized, compared to the number that formerly came to court immediately before an election. None as heretofore declared their intentions. The reason for that was obvious, those who are subjects of a foreign prince would pre fer remaining bo, until they can see whether they have a country that is worth swearing allegiance to, before they abjure their native land. Nor would any be naturalized, only as they had declared their intentions, they were in a kind of embryo state and subject to the draft. Some few soldiers who served their time in the war and were honorably discharged got naturalized as they were entitled to be under a recent act of Congress regardless of the time they had been in this country. Present appearances indicate a great apa thy in the in the Abolition party in this County on the eve of a Presidential election. C3 Some of the Republicans about town, we understand, are endeavoring to make capital for Hakkek, the Maine Yan- kee candidate for Congress in this district, because lie happened 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 truo Messrs. D. W. Woods, J a mi-is Manx, and A. A. Hakkek, were appointed to perform the plain duty of representing the facts to the Provost Marshal General a duty which any one old enough to talk English was competent to jerform and it is also true that Gen. Fry, as was ins i-i.ain il .y, upon hearing the facts authorized the proper coi lvctions to be made. For doing this Messrs. W., M., and Ii., of course are entitled to thanks, just as Messrs. G. W. Ei.dku and II. J. Wai.tf.ks are for going to Harrisburg and Hollidaysburg once or twice on the same business, es- Peci:l,ly f they bore the expense of the trip themselves, as the latter two centle- v e.wn. men did Hut there is another rumor afloat which is not quite so creditable to Mr. Par ker's honesty, though it may be to his partisan chicanery. It is said while at Washington he availed himself of the opportunity to urge upon the powers there the necessity of quartering a large num ber of Republican soldiers in this district, to aid him in carrying Lis election. Whether there is any truth in the rumor or not, we are not prepared to say ; but time will probably show, if ho succeeded in the infamous scheme. e take the above from the Lewis- ion j rue jjrmorrtit. i his tniamous scheme of Parkers strmds without a par allel in this region of country. It shows manifestly to the people of this County, what an ignorant clown like him would do to have the name of being elected to Congress. Those other two gentlemen, it appears got their part of the district changed, but there is no percentage taken oil Cambria county. That would not suit the election of Mr. Darker. And what are the lives of a few men in his estima tion compared to his election ? His con duct in this respec t is so patent to every man that he ca.rt lie himself out of it, or cover up his tracks. They dicw Cambria county first, contrary to all their former acts and had a man serving the notices before they were scarcely done drawing, for the mere purpose of securing Dar ker s election. No this is virtually Dar ker's draft, s0 far as Cambria county is concerned. Nor did it require any smart ness to do this, if h Jij n:.ker would be too stupid to do it. It required nothing but bold rascality, and that he is an adopt n. e could point out many instances wherein this draft was entirely fraudulent. Rut it is unnecessary, every one who is old enough to observe matters knows it as well as we do A II ous - We understand that . e a man by the name of Strohecker, who keeps a tavern in Chest Springs, and some times acts as doctor, had a horse shot a few days a"o. Tl,;0 . , 1 u's man is very loyal and undertook to rwo i i iu servo notices on drafted men in that townKm r i i lunnsnip. One day he re- turned home and left his horse behind him. He reported ho had been fired at and Ins horse shot As he is not much in tho habit of telling truth, where a lie will suit, his neighbors believe he shot the horse himself, as he was a very infe rior animal, in order to get the price of a good horse from Government and create a sensation in the neighborhood. 3- Dan Rice, the great Shakesperoan down, is nominated for State Senator in the Erie District, against Morrow H. Lowry. Wo know a Congressional Dis trict that has nominated a natural cloxvn to represent them in Congress. We are pained to learn that Wm li. Hughes, of Wilmore got a fall from his horse, by which he was severely injured. William was very loyal and took a lively interest in the success of the Northern arms, and endeavored to instil into his neighborhood the like loyalty and patriot ism. We are assured he will very much regret if this accident will prevent him from answering to the call of his country as he has been lately drafted. Although it has been said otherwise we are in formed from a reliable source that his in jury was purely accidental.

Our loss will be light. General Crook struck the left flank of the enemy, doubling it up, advancing along their lines. Rickett's Division, of the Gth Army Corps, swung in and joined Crook, Getty's and Wheaton's divisions taking up the same movement followeel by the whole line, and attacking beautifully, car rying the works of the enemy. The ivlnls threw down their arms and fled in the greatest confusion, abandoning most of their artillery. It was dark before the battle ended I pushed on after the enemy during the night to this point with the Gth and 19th Corps, and have stopped here to rest the men and issue rations. If General Tor bet has pushed down the Luray Valley, according to my orders, he will achieve results. I do not think that there ever was an army so badly routed. The Val ley soldiers are hiding awav and troin" to their homes. I cannot at present give you any estimate of prisoners. I pushed on regardless of everything.
