I CKill. 1)1 HI 1 118.1..' 1* - Provost Marshals. \ ' The Conscription Sill recently passed by • Congress, authorizes tho appointment by (he I Resident Of a t*rovrtst' Marshal for every Con ' gMMiionnl 'District, "as fixed by a law next prece " dfngtW enrolment." This officer is to be a kind *•< general'age at for the President, (or rather h thW'Sinitiftry Dictator) and is to arrest deserters tfcwarmf, ttrdetect, seize and confino spies, J and to-obey all lawful orders and regulations of tfte Provost Marshal General. In short, he is to bo the ruler, owner and keeper of the people within the limits of his district, a petty tyrant, unitipg in his person the'powers of a civil mag istrate, the uuthority of a military commander and the functious of a police detective. When J the President shall see fit to undertake an en forcement of the Conscription, we shall look with some anxiety and moro curiosity for the name of tlid wretch who will not scruple to disgrace himself and the community in which be lives, by accepting this odious office. Let that man, whoever he may be, make up his iniod that he cannot live a peaceful life, nor die - an honorable death. Let him remember that he makes himself the hireling of usurpod pow er, the minion of the enemy of popular liberty, the tool of a disgraced nnd doomed Administra tion. Let him remember that he becomes a vol untary instrument for the destruction of the Constitution, and, therefore, that the very dis-! charge of his official duties, makes him a per- J jurer and a traitor. And let him he warned that the peoplo will not suffer him nor his mas ters to wrest From them the rights guaranteed , them by the blood-bought institutions of their fathers. The name of the man who aecepts this office, will be a stench in the nostrils of . every true friend of human liberty forever and forever! Jhe tinger of scorn will bo pointed 4t him as a second Arnold, who would barter the citadel of liis Country's freedom, for the grat ification of his pwn ararice and ambition. The people will brand him with shame, for to do so is their only defence against the usur pations of power. They will put a scorpion's sting into every pore of his body. Mutt will turn from him in loathing and disgust, shun ning the contaminating touch of his political leprosy. The lash of popular indignation will pursue him through the world, his effigy hang tog in every town and his name a byc-word a- MOng the people ; and eking out a miserable existence, ho will go down to the grave, un wept by friend* and unhonored even by patri zan*. "Onion League." On Saturday night last, an assemblage com posed of about one dozen Abolitionists, half as • many Democrats and a large number of small beys caine together at the Court House, fur the purpose of organizing what is facetiously styled a "JJnion League." The proceedings of this "large and enthusiaslie" meeting arc published In our paper of to-day. J. K. Howies, I'.x- Cgmmissioncr of the Draft and Federal Tax Collector, was appointed Chairman, and the Rev. George Sigafoos, County Superintendent of Common Schools, was chosen Secretary. A number of speeches were delivered, prominent among which was that of our friend, the Rev. Secretary. We had thought that a County Su pesiirteitdent of Common Schools could not well, • do justice to his office,) be a politician. AVc • bad also thought that a gentleman elected to that office by Democratic School Directors, up on the assurance that he was a Democrat, would ■ i hardly have the ingratitude to turn his back up • on that party and consort with its enemies. But are (indeccived and now feel quite certain tHat tfiefe arc even County Superintendents and clarital gentlemen who cannot be trusted as pol iticians. A* for tho Frasident of the meeting, we do not wonder at the part he took in it. Tho eff of "Union!" is making money for his. [lock ets, and why should he not favor the estnblish ■ meat of a "Uniun League?" Money is money, If it is coined out of the blood of the poople. • But the "Union League" professes not to he political in its object and its managers call upon men of all parties to join it for the purpose of sustaining the Government. Tho best way to sustain the Government, according to the Lea i : gnOrs' theory, is to tight for it. Will the mem bers of this League do it? Ilnvo they the re motest intention of doing so? No! Their object is not to save tho country, but to sustain the Abolition party. To prove this we need but quote tho following from an article in the last Inquirer, headed, "Prepare for the .Spring Flec tion:" 1 "Form Union Leagues in every district and enrol every loyal voter. • • * Nominate full mnl thorough tickets, take your best men, audA vigilant day at the election will fully re- Pgf'you and save the country from the hands or men who are wilting to do anything—rule or rhin—to be in power." , That is what yopr "Union Leaguers" are to do I Look put for Hlacksnakcs! rWe learn with regret that Lieutenant I Join kelson, foumerly of this place, but now in tbo iSth Pa. Cavalry, yjas severely woun ded in one of his legs, in a skirmish with the the rebels a few days ago. The injured limb ~,, to* been amputated. Reports concerning the Lieutenant's condition, vary, some stating tlmt h is doing woH and others affirming Ins death. WW* call attention to the card of Mioliaol W nrtman A Co., Tobfteco, Snuff and Sega r Man mi) ufectory, No. pi ? North Third at, ijhiltfcj. choice.. Our friends will do well to give them a CrA petition asking the Legislature to enact a law appropriating "the money to he paid by those who wcj-c exempted ftecn the draft, fof conscience' sake, tot die common Itcnsuries of the counties hi which persons FO exempted re side," li.t been pat in chculatien in this com munity and extensively signed by members of both political parties. The object of the law prayed for, is merely to-place all counties which furnished' their quota under the draft, upon an 6qunl footing: For instance, fit our own coun ty the full number of men required by the Gov ernment, was drafted, and in order that this might be done the county was compelled to make up, from the citizens subject to military duty, the numbut exempted for conscience' sake. In counties where there were no such exempts, of course, there was no deficiency to be sup plied. But, as the law now stands, Bedford county, after having furnished licr quota of men, is also required to pay a large, sum of money, by the hands of her conscientious exempts, in to the State Treasury. Is it right that our county should be compelled to furnish both men and money, when other counties furnish only men? Against this petition, intended only for the good of the people of the county and for the benefit of our soldiers (for, if the law for which it prays, is passed, the county will be well able to pay the bounty promised the volunteers) the Bedford Inquirer, with its usual mendacity, rai ses the political cry of "Secession" and "Cop. porheads." We can inform the sapient editor of that superlatively ''loyal" sheet, that some of the principal men.of his party were among the first that signed this petition and that tliay endorse it sincerely and heartily. If, in his o pinion, such men as C. Loycr, W. 11. King, IV ter 11. Shires, J. A. Henderson, and others of similar standing in the Inquirer's party, are "Copperheads," theft it is hard to tell upon whom the jaundiced eyes of the editor will not next fall in suspicion. Hut it makes very little dilfercnco whether the Inquirer man favors or condemns the movement. People of all par tics will see, at a glance, that its success would be beneficial to our county, nnd that unless it is successful, some thirty thousand dollars will go out of the county never to return. The Copperheads hell a meeting i.n the Dutch Corner, on last Friday night. A good place to begin, tliey ought to hav.* left a missionary or two out there.— Bedford Inquirer. The organ of the Kinky heads sneers at the people of what it styles "the Dutch Corner." The editor of that profound expositor of polit ical science, thinks that he can scoff at those people with immunity, because there arc but very few of his own political kith among them. We wonder, however, whether our friends-, An drew E. Dibert, Thomas linler, Adam Dibert, j and several other "good Republicans" (if the term is not obsolete) we wot of in the "Corner," think, with their editor, that "missionaries" ought to be left with thcrn? Citizens of Bod-- ford township, walk rip to the Inquirer office and get yourselves civilized! It is believed tha Copperheads will make a desperate effort to carry the Spring elections.— Inquirer. C3"lf is quite certain that the 151acksnak.es art making a violent effort to crawl into the town ship offices. Nothing could prove this more conclusively than their hissing and snapping a* what they call '•Copperheads." Get your clubs ready for the blacksnnkes. VV c can hardly imagine what ha got wrong with the-mail arrangements between this place and Huntingdon.- Wheelbarrow. IV e can toll you. The I'. O.

GILBERT FISHER, Chairman: Union League. A meeting, of the loystt citizens of the Bor ough of Bedford and vicinity was hold at tiie Court llouso in said Borough, on Saturday eve ning last. JernroinU K. Bowles was Called to the chair and George Sigafoos was appointed 3eereturv. The following preamble and resolutions Wore unanimously adople.d. Whereat, this meeting has been called for the sole object of organizing an association of loyal men cf and vicinity without regard to their previous political opinions or party rela tions and with tho patriotic purpose of render ing as much rervico as possible to the Govern ment in it 3 endeavors to maintain the integrity of The Union and suppress the rebellion, it is therefore declared that the following shall ho regarded as the fundamental principles of the association. Ist That the safety of the country nnd the perpetuation of the republic, arc tho highest considerations that can be uddressed to the mind of the patriot and citizen. 2d. That sympathy, with the traitors and reb els now in arms to subvert the Government, is a crime not less heinous, and more destructive in its influence, than open treason itself. 3d. That true pntriotism demands constant and vigilant efforts to disenuntennnce all dis loyalty find treason iVi whatever shape or whore ever' they may lie manifested as well as a zealous support, both by word and action, of all meas ures employed byihe Government to maintain its nuthority tho integrity of the Union. lietolved. —That association shall be j known as the "Union League of the Borough of Bedford and vicinity." That tho officers shall bo a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer to continue in oliio.o during the pleasure of the association. Thnt every man who subscribes to tho noble sentiment of the immortal Jackson, The Fed eral I'mon it must be preserved" may and is cor dially invited to become a member. That the only qualification for membership shall be an honest support to the priuciplcs now announced. Thnt no man in becoming n member, is re quired to surrender any political opinion he may entertain, that is not inconsistent with strict fi delity and allegiance to the Government of the United States nor to separate himself from any political party to winch lie may bo attached. liesolved, further, that it is tho undivided senti ment of this meeting that tho war for the sup pression of this unjustifiable and most iniqui tous rebellion, should be prosocutod with unre mitting vigor nnd energy. liesolved, That any interference on tho part of Great 1 Britain or France or any other na tion in tho aflfairs of this government, whether proposed on the ground of effecting a compro mise or in any other manner, with ifltent to es tablish the independence of the so called con federate state? should be regarded, if persisted in, as a cause of war. liesolved. That wo deem it our highest duty and privilege to give to the government all tho aid and support in our powor in this hour f peril and trial, and that we will cheerfully sub mit to any measure that :uay be adopted with the view of crushing out tho rebellion nnd re storing the authority of the Constitution, nnd replacing the flflg of the country over every part of the United States. Unsolved, That tho Editors of the Inquirer nnd Gazette,be request, to publish tnc above pream ble* nud resolution*. Fifies V Conscientious Men. Mr. Kaigti, t* Fay ette, has introduced a bill in the providing for jlie payment of money (s3®)) by those who conscientiously scruple tJltear nm. We understand that in some counties the peo ple contemplate petitioning tho Legislature to alfow the money accruing from this source to go into the county treasuries, arguing that it shonld not go to the General Government, be cause the State her quota of men to the Government, nor into the State treasury, because this county (for instance) has furnish ed its full quota ef men to the State, nnd there fore it is not proper that the State should have our men from the county ami our money too. The fuud would psty tho bounty to voluntews, besides leaving a largo relief fund. The iuea will no doubt at once be taken hold of through out the State.— Gettysburg Compiler- Jlnmj Covrespoukncf. CAMP 55th Reg't, P. V., ( Feb. iMtli, 18G5. J MR. EDITOR: Thinking a few linos would be accepta ble from this part of creation, I send you a few items for your columns. We are still on the old camp near Beaufort, at which place we have fixed up tiico and com fortable quarters. The health of the troops at this place, is excellent, —could not be expected to lie better than a present. The weather is Ann. Noil® of tho seventy of a Northern winter disturbs lis. Changes are frequent in the different milita ry posts, it seems that changing commanders in the different parte of the army, is a branch of military science, that cannot bo dispensed with in conducting a campaign. Gan, tie v. inour was placed in command at this post, and only discharged the duties devolving upon him, for the brief tima bo acted in that capacity. But, Gen llnnter, returning to resume the com mand of this department, chose him a member of his staff. The command then devolved up on the fnior officers here, until Hunter appoint ed Gen. Saxtwn, military governor of this de partment. commander of the troops here, fie j immediately entered upon his otiiciol duties. I Our Regiment was -inspected by him on the 21st inst. If inspection enhances the profi ciency of a regiment ours ought to be a good one, for it is inspected often enough. Do not suppose that, though we are in the dreary dominions of ti. C., we are not enjoying the benefit of a local press. The Archimadian Lever is exerting its influence here, as well as elsewhere. The overgorgod literature of the | North has ejected one of its brightest intellects, and thrown him down here, to a place in which | he can exert his influence and superior (1) iutel- i ligenco, in behalf of his favorite and "oppressed ! race," the African. The English language is hardly suffuicnt for his purpose. It does not contain phrases rich enough, nor eloquence suf-, ficientlr profound, to express his noble ideas, ! and lofty santiments in behalf of the "down trod- : den African." The courage, interests and in- j telligence of the white man dwindle into insig nificance, in his estimation, when compared with those of tho black. lie seems to bo tho superior of the white man in every respect, as viewed by this riMtuto genius. This sublime i writer appears to be a wanderer from some of I the celestial planets, who have came here volun-1 tardy to shed a ray of light upon tho benight ed inhabitants of this mundane sphere. It is in vain, to attempt to describe his merits as a writer. Thcro arc also some young ladies here, who | have left the salubrious clime and snow-capped hills of fair New England, torn asunder the lies that bind them to home and kindred, and come'to sojourn in this pestilential clime, to teach the young idea of the "poor enslaved ne gro" how to shoot; thus showing that tho char acteristics of the I'ilgrim Mothers, are not en tirely lost in their descendants. Indeed, it appears from the present interest in the welfare of muukind, and every body else, that in-former times, when tho interest of the white man was considered paramount to every thing else, true phiLanthropluj lny dormant, and those who, hy an erroneous notion, thought his welfare should lirst be attended to, wore false philanthropists. Congress seems to be infected with the same contagious disease. Session after session is spent exhausting the funds of the treasury in legis lating for the negro. Shame on him who is constantly crying about the woes of the op pressed, and cannot see the misery and destitu tion in his immediate neighborhood! flow long will such depravity prevail! We had quite a grand scene on drns9 parade, the 22nd inst. The enlisted men of this ltcgt. purchased the Col. a magnificent sword nnd the anniversary of Washington's birth day was chosen for the presentation. It was pre sented as a token of respect, and cost §3.5; including belt, sasb, &c., $ i 'lO. • Yours truly, JUNO. CI.EAR RIDGE, March 4th, 1863. MR. MEIERS: Although I have never before written a nything for publication, I venture to address you these lew lines in the hope that you will give them a place in your valuable paper. The change here in public sentiment since the issuing of the emancipation proclamation, is truly astounding. The people cannot sen how a war for the liberation of tho negroes is to re store the Union or do any good to the country. They have discovered that tho Administration has defrauded tho people by raising armies to light forthe Union aud tiion compelling them to light for the negroes. The health of this community is not very good at present. Typhoid fever is. raging here and seems to he of a very fatal character. We have but little local news. Our country, as you know, is rather secluded, and wo rarely have any stirring intelligence from the outside world. The Bedford Inquirer is about the only curiosity that comes here. I see that by a re cent communication in that veracious sheet, some of the "wooly-hends" fear that you, Mr. Editor, may be the choice of the people for our nest representative in tho Legislature. That correspondent says: "Mr. Meyers never dream ed of anything of the kind, and I nm to say for that gentleman that ho can serve the Con federacy to a much greater extent by sucuring a nomination to tho Legislature of Pennsylva nia, which he now proposes doing." Now, my dear sir, if this anonymous "Nigger-head" is not slandering you, as usual, I hope you will "pitch in," as we will need somebody in the Legislature next year who will stand up, as you have done, for Democracy and right. At any rate, I beKevo yon woald'makc a better legisla tor than tbs editor of tbo Inquirer would make a County Superintendent, for which, I under stand, he ia lrafing "Union Leagues" organized all over tbe county. But I am,,doubtless, ma king a "bore" of this communication, so I will close. I'ours Truly, YEOMAN. The War in Tennessee.

Several spirited skirmishes occurred during tK% dr.y, our troops camping four miles distant. On the oth a movement by the rebels was apparent, ennsing some disorder at Thompson's IStation. The rebels suddenly opened on our men with three batteries, on different points, and at the sumo time they appeared on each flank in greatly superior number*. An une qftal conflict was maintained with great detur migntion, causing heavy ioss on both sides, but finally, resulted unfortunately to our troops.— The lurgC3t part of the 33.1 Indiana, l'Jth Michigan, 22d Wisconsin, and the doth India na, with most of their eommisrioned olfieers, being eapi wed.
