Beaver is now a pr imihent candidate for Governor will give uita appended sitetcli of his military career new interest. We copy it from nil article in the Philadelphia Times of Saturday last, written from Bellelbnte: GENERAL B KAY Kit's HISTORY. •James Addanis Beaver was born at Millerstown, Perry conuty, on the 21st oi October, ISH7. His mother was Miss Addams, of the same section. lie nud only the usual rude common schools of that day to lay the foundation for his ed ucation, but he finally reached .Jcll'erson College, where he graduated creditably in 1 856. Three years later lie was ad mitted to the l)ni in this town, where lie had studied his profession, and his lot was thus cast for life with the intelligent and solidly progressive people of this le gion. He exhibited an early taste for lue military, and made his first appear ance as a lieutenant of the Bellelonte Pencil)les before the war, where lie com manded the embryo War Governor ol the State. In 1805, alter he had returned from the field, full of scars and hon ors and with one leg left oil the field of Ream's Station, he married Miss Mary McAllister, daughter of the late 11. N. McAllister, then one of the ablest law yers of Central Pennsylvania. llis ac complished wife, his several bright chil dren, his pretty, home-like residence on one of the hills surrounding the town, and his ever genial greeting lor his friends attract many to his family circle and leave pleasant memories with all his visitors. In person he is nearly six feet in height, although his iudispcusibie use of the crutch to perforin the duties of his uiissing leg makes him appear less in stature. Before he entered the military service he was delicate almost to ett'emi naoy , but his form and face have rounded out handsomely, and his slightly silvered hair, keen gray eye and military hat give him all th" air of the veteran soldier lie is. At the bar he is singularly tenacious in battling for his cause, but one of the most manly of foes in legal conllicts. In his private life and character he is most exemplary, being a consistent and active member oi the Presbyterian Church, and energetic in all the olliees of morality and humanity. Indeed lie Is regarded by many as religious even to bigotry and in tolerant in his efforts for Temperauce and social order. GENERAL BEAVER AS A SOLDIER. When the rebel guns first sounded against Port Suinpter the Bellefonte Feu eibles were among the first to respond to Governor Curtin's call for troops, and Lieutenant Beaver was among the most zealous iu the cause. The company was the third to report at Harrisburg, and it was mustered into the service with Bea ver as First -Lieutenant, in which posi tion he served during the three months' term. As soou as he was mustered out lie re-enlisted and was promoted to the Lieuteuaut Colonelcy of the Forty-tilth Regiment, which was ordered to South Carolina. Coloue I Beaver was there sta tioned at Fort Walker with five compa nies, commanding the entrance U) Port Royal Bay. In July, 1802, the regiment was ordered north and Beaver was made Colonel of the One Hundred and Forty eighth Regiment, one of the new three years regiment then recruited, llis com mand was present at Fredericksburg, but was iu the reserve, and did not become engaged in that unfortunate conflict, but at "chancellorsville Colonel Beaver gal antly led his command into a hand-to hand conflict with the enemy, where he fell, as was t ;n believed, mortally wounded. The ball passed clear through his body, but skilful surgical treatment brought liini through, and lie rejoined liis command and was actively engaged at Brlstow Station and Mine Run. In the spring of 1864, Colonel Beaver was conspicuous for gallantry at Spottsylva nia, North Anna, and Tolopotomy. At the first lie was struck by a miuie ball, but was saved from a dangorous and proba bly a fatal wound by a m jmorandum book. At Cold Harbor lie was also struck but not. seriously disabled and lie maintaieed liis position oil the Held at the head of his command. In the first assault before Petersburg, Colonel Eiuver was struck by a fragment of a shell and suffered severe iuterual in juries and a terrible flesh wound in the side. He was again compelled to linger i fretfully in the hospital while the last battles for tiie Union were being fought from day to (lav. lie left the hospital before he was ablejjto ride his horse, and i proceededjin an ambulance to the field, and reached it just as the army was J preparing to battle at Ileum,s Station, and he at once assumed com mand of ids brigade. He was only a short time on the Held when lie was struck on the right leg, above ihe knee, lie was left on the Held, but a faithful surgeon remained with him, amputated his leg, and between the hospitality of an enemy and the ceaseless and skilful care of his surgeon he received, lie was brevetted a brigadier General for gallan try in action, and he returned home liellefont at the close of the war to _re stiine the practice of his profession. ffIiEDBS Uli ! trade MA jis M '"j ■ ■ F p R Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, Backache, Soreness of tie Chest, Gout, Quinsy, Soro Throat, Swell ings and Sprains, Burns and Scalds, General Bodily Pains, Tooth, Ear and Headache, Frostod Feet and Ears, and all other Pains and Aches.
