under the direction of Charles Chauncy,
Esq, of Philadelphia, and was admitted to
practice law al The Berks County Bar on the

Don't Like our Union Candidate.

Some of our Republican friends are not
exactly willing to support our Union Candi-
date--Hendrick B. Wright-fof Congress-
Those Republicans who wers most loud in
his.praise and support before the nomina-
lion, are now lnkewarm in the cause. They
were, with as. very anxious that we should
eise them Wright, as he was unqnesticna-
bly, the man for the times, q man of age,
experience and ability, and the Conference
have made a virtual acknowledgment of
this fact, that he is the man, by making him
the nominee. We are sorry 10 frd our
friend Of the Scranton Republican founder
ing so awful bad in his last issue. He is
not pleased with the choice we have made
for him to support. We scarcely think he
conld have made better one; and as they
conceded the candidate 10 us, they ought
10 be satisfied with our choice and we are
free TO say that the majority OF their party,
heartily concur in the nomination of Col
Wright Some few of the Republican party
were axious TO nominate Ke.chum. while
the great bulk of the party were opposed 10
making any nomination. They advocated
ono par:izan striie," 'sone nomination. and
all this sort of thing, for the sake of the
Union, and we are happy TO state that their
designs and wishes.ha been thus far car.

Harper,s Ferry

Has been evacuated by the rebel forces,
pretty completely, according TO all accounts
They were not able TO stand the Federal
forces, and seeing this in lime, they made
good their escape te Manassas Junction,
where the rebel forces appear TO be con.
csniFaiing. This point, in military point
OF view, may be better place for the ene-
my to set up defence.
On leaving Harper's Ferry, they destroy
ed the bridge across the Potomac, for the
purpose of delaying the Federal troops
They also destroyed several car loads OF
provisions 10 prevent them from falling into
the hands OF our troops. The Heights
about the Ferry are all cleared, and the

the evacuation OF Harper's Ferry. has nat
