Tne father of George H. Pendleton, was Na
thaniel Green Pendleton, who defeated Dr.
Duncan for Congress in Hamilton county, in
the celebrated contest of 1840. He was a
leading and eminent Whig in politics. De
scending from snch ancestry, with his relations
and acquaintances all on the anti-Democratic
side in politics, it would not have been surpri
sing if George b«d imbibed the same views
and political tenets. But he was one who
thought for himself—who was governed by no
extraneous influences, and from early study
he early embraced the Democratic creed, and
cast his first vote with that organization. In
this he evinced the same resolute independence
and individuality that has since, on all impor
tant occasions, governed his conduct.
He entered Woodward College, in Cincin
nati, and afterward studied at two univerrities
in Germany. He then commenced the study
of law in Cincinnati, and upon his admission
to tbe bar, formed a partnership wi.h Hon.

In 1864 the period again arrived for the
Presidential election. The Democracy cast j
their eyes about in search of a suitable and (

was a strong feeling that Mr. Pendleton was

nomination for the State Senate from Hamilton

The Australian Bush.
A TRUE STORY.
Some years ago two men, Charles Storey
an i Edward Ladbury, had charge of an out-
'ving sheep-station, belonging to Mr. John
Hassall, a wealthy Australian squatter. Tbe
first named was the shepherd, the second the
hut-keeper. Their hut stood in the midst fo
a scene of primitive nature. Except the folds
for the flocks, there was no inclosures of any
description. The country was an open expanse
of gras*, with a few mv.iil lions dotted sparse
ly with evergreen trees. mostly of the strinjry-
b’ark species. The walls of the hut were built
of rough st°kes, with mud and reeds between
them, other long poles formed the roof, which
was covered with rushes. The fire-place w is
constructed of stones collected from the neigh
borhood, ana in this the men baked their
dailv damper, composed of fh>ur and water
and salt, and boiled tbeir kettle ot tea. Their

pressed his name tor N ice President, and he
was selected over able an i -trong competitors
on the second ballot, re' 1 * it ? the two-thirds
vote required. Mr. P< u s fbn was a delegate
in the convention, hai...tr been complimented
in such a selection by the Democracy of the
State, who had chosen him as one of the dele
gates at large. Upon being called out, he ac
cepted the nomination in a graceful speech,
' acknowledging in modest and becoming terms
| the high honor he had received. 1 lie issue of
! the election was disastrous. Military tyranny
| and official fraud and corruption prevailed.—
Three States alone gave their votes for Mc
Clellan and Pendleton, viz: Delaware, New
Jersey and Kentucky. The contest, however,
in some of the large States— such as New York
aud Pennsylvania — was very close, and a
change of fifty thousand votes would have
elected McClellan and Pendleton.
On the 4th of March. I860, Mr. Pendleton’s
fourth terra of service in the National House
expired. He had long been regarded by both
the high anticipations which had been formed ] his political friends and opponents as the lead-
by those who had been instrumental in his j iug man of his party in the House, and his re-
election. $0 favorable was the impression 1 tireineut was the cause of general regret On

Mr. Pendleton’s course was soon taken. It
was moderate and highly conservative, having
this object steadily in view’—the preservation
of the Union by maintaining amity between
the Slates. To those extremists — whether
from the North or South—whose policy was
continual agitation, that was menacing to the
national peace, he opposed a firm and inflexi
ble opposition. He was placed upon one of
the most important committees of the House,
that of Military Affairs, aud was scon known
as an active and working member.

however, attend that body, but sent his decli

was coining sure enough. Already be repent
ed of having urged his friend to fly. Daylight
would discover him to the blacks, and they
would finish their work in revenge for the es
cape of his companion. Suddenly a footstep
was heard. Ladbury appeared without his
handle.
“ What! did yon think I really was going?”
he asked in a low voice. “ Y'ou’ll not beg me
to leave you again, mate. Come, get ou ray
shoulders; we’ll see what I can no”
Ladbury walked on with the wounded man
on his back for •. half mile or more.
••Now sit down here, and I’ll go leek for j
the bundle,” he said placing him under a bush. 1
No one but a min long accustomed to the j
wilds of Australia could have found his way i
as Ladbury did. He soon again passed Storey
w ith their bundle on his shoulders, and once j
more returned for him. Thus they journeyed j
on til! the sun rose, when they reached a |
stream which they well knew, having traveled j
about seven miles. Ladbury, how ever, was so
completely exhausted by las exertions that he
felt unable to crawl another mile, much less
to carry his two burdens. Storey had again
become so ill, and his wounds were so painful,
that it seemed doubtful that he would survire j
if moved further. Though the danger was ,
great, Ladbury resolved to camp where they |
were fur some days, till Storey had partly re- j
covered strength. At last he bethought him j
that though Storey could uot walk, and lie :
couid no longer carry him on his shoulders, ;
lie might drag him along, should the blacks j
not have traced them out. He accordingly, |
with the aid of some sticks cut from the bu.-h.
and theii bedding, formed a sleigh, which,
without much difficulty, he could drag along.
On this lie placed the wounded man with such
provisions as remained, and recommenced his
toilsome journey over the grass. lie could
movt» but slowly, and often had to make a
wide circuit to avoid any copses or rocky
ground which lay in his course. Even now,
too, they were not safe, for the nl&cks, finding
the hut empty, might pursue and overtake
them. Still the brave Ladbury toiled on; his
own strength was rapidly giving way. Once
more he was obliged to halt near a stream.
“ \Ve must camp here to-night, mate,” he
said to Storey. “ Perhaps to-morrow my legs j
may he able to move; to-d iy they cau do no
more.”
The night passed away in silence; the morn
ing was ushered in witii the strange sounds
of the Australian bush, and the sun rose,
casting a fiery heat over the plain. Storey had
not moved. Ladbury looked at him anxiously,
expecting to find him no longer alive. He
roused up, however, and after some breakfast,
again Ladbury harnessed hinisell to the sleigh
and moved on. Often he w»s obliged to halt;
sometimes he could move only a tew hundred
yards at a time ; a few minutes’ rest enabled
him again to go on. Still the stages became
shorter and the rests longer as the evening
approached. He 1 elt that he could not exist

same sound again reached his cars. It came
from a cluster of bushes at a little distance
off. YVith an anxious heart he ran to the
place, and there found bis companion lying on
the ground, bleeding from numerous wounds,
and with a spear-head still sticking in his
body. Lifting Storey in his arms, he carried
him to the hut and laid him on his bed
“ It’s the work of those black fellows,” said
Ladbury, looking round the hut. None were
down the sufferer’s throat. Every moment
while thus employed he expected the natives
to attack the hut. He had no longer Royer to :
give him warning of the approach of a foe.-- j
There was little doubt that his poor dog also
recover himself. A bound reached his ears—
it was a dog’s hark. With the conviction that
help could not now be f r off, his strength
seemed to return. The roofs of the wood
sheds and huts appeared. No one could he
seen. Even then he anil his friend might per
ish if he did not go on. It was the supper
hour at the station. On he must go. He got
nearer and nearer, stumbling and panting.—
The door of the chief hut was reached, and
he sank fainting across the threshold. Every
attention was paid to the two men. Ladbury
soon recovered. Poor Storey was conveyed
to the hospitaTat Albany, but so great had
been the shock to his system that, in a short
time, he sank under its effects.
