By order of the Dem. Co. Com. JOHN P. KEED, Chairman. A Change. There are some good-natured individuals, who, although originally antagonistic to the doctrines of the abolitionists, have, through their four of throwing obstacles in tho way of tho prosecution of tho war, almost unwit tingly fallen in with the infernal crusade a gainst the Constitution and the liberties of the people, inaugurated and at present waged by those miserable political miscreants. They felt that it was their duty to sustain the adminis tration in carrying on the war and to that duty they finally sacrificed even their cherished po litical principles. They have certainly done their pan by Mr. Lincoln and no one can charge thern with dereliction in coming up to the ab olition standard of "loyalty." But a new re sponsibility now presents itself to the conscien ces of these scrupulous supporters of the "pow ers that be." The present administration ba boat to go on trial before the people, and it be comes the duty of these men to decide whether it deserves the continued confidence of the peo ple, or whether it shall be supplanted by an other whose principles and policy will be in ac cordance with those views which, they tell us, they have not abandoned, but which they hold in obcyancc, in order to give n mure cordial and unreserved support to the prosecution of the war. The question is now, shall ivc have l.tn- coin few years longer ? It is not, shall we sus tain the Government? but Who shall administer the Government ? The stereotyped plea that, "in order to support the Government, we must not oppose the administration," is obsolete now. Hence, our good-natured friends who buried their principles because they seemed to stand in the way of their supporting the war, can now safely exhume those cherished treasures and use them with impunity in the coming political cam paign. We again impress it upon their mifds, that the issue to be decided next fall, is not a -question of support to the President., but alto gether oc.e as to who shall be the next President. It is the question of a change oj administration. People who reason from cause to effect, want a change ; men of common sense desire a change; and it is to be hoped •that these, our conscien tious and patriotic brethren, will also sec the necessity of giving their influence and their votes in favor of a change. AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.—Hon. H. Winter Davi3, member of Congress, from the city of Baltimore, made a speech a few days ago, de nouncing the present administration, declaring that it had so conducted the war that it has became impossible to subdue the South and ta king ground in favor of peace. Mr. Davis' name was at the mast-head of the abolition or gan of this county, a short time ago, as its choice for Vice President. This is an import ant chango. PATNFTL Accini.Nr.--On Tuesday morning last, n young lad, a son of Mr. Geo. Blymire, of tlus place, was thrown from a horse and very seriously injured. WOUNDED.—It is rumored that Frank Stech naan, Frank Cook, Simon Lutz and Charles Wright, soldiers from this town and vicinity, were wounded in the recent battles. Wo have nothing reliable on the subject. W"On Saturday last, oar old atul familiar fi ieDd, Major James Pat ton, accompanied by Ids lady, returned to Bedford, to spend the sum mer months among the green hills and vulleys of Bedford county. The Major has luxuriated at Lancaster during the post winter and spring, and comes among us again in good health, good spirit# and sound iu his political faith. He stands a head und hhoulders taller iu the Democratic ranks since adversity has come upon our glorious aid party, nnJ our still more glorians country. His prosenae among us is not more pleasant to himself thanlt is to his frienda. Health, hap plaass an I pr-jspcrity at toad him Bounty and the Draft. Without committing ourself as to the policy ! of paying bounties for the purpose of "'avoid ing the draft,'' we desire to say a few words in ( I regard to the fact that no bounty was offered by j i the Commissioners of this county. In the first ! place, at the time when recruiting was in pro ! gress here, they were not authorized by law to ■ piy bounty. They had no more right, legally, to do this, than they have to annex lied ford j ! county to the State of Maryland. Ilence, they j would have exceeded the limit of their official authority, had they proceeded to borrow money on the credit of the county and to pay it out as j bounty to volunteers. Township officers had just as much legal power to act in the premises, j as was possessed by the Commissioners. In fact, , wherever bounty was paid in other portions of ! the State, it was, with few exceptions, raised on the credit of townships, or by individual i subscription. The Commissioners of a few coun ties, it is true, did go beyond the pale of their j lawful power, and made loans for the payment j of bounty. They entered the field at an early day and hid so high thai the counties less weal- ' | thy than their own, could not possibly compete ! with them. This was another reason why our . Commissioners decided not to pfficr bounty. But a law was passed at ihe recent session of the ! Legislature, enabling the .School Directors and ; ! other township officers, as well as County Com missioners, to raise moneys for the payment of bounty to volunteers. This law received the : signature of the Governor some two months ago. We refer to this fact particularly, because there is a cowardly effort being made by certain Ab olitionists to injure our county Commissioners j ; in t!.e public estimation, because of their deci- j sion against the payment of bounty. We ask ! these querulous hypocrites, why did not the ; School Directors of Broad Top, llopeweli, the i two Providences, Monroe, Union and other dis ' ! tricts controlled by tliem, offer bounty to volun i Seers? They had two months time since the pas ! sage of the general Bounty Law, and yet they marie no effort to save their people from the i draft, by any offer of bounty. The conduct of i these Abolition officials is ample justification of the course pursued by the County Commission : ers. Hereafter let the kettle call the put black, j only when it can show a less dusky color. Headley'a History of the Rebellion. We have before us the first volume of a some-! what pretentious work, styled "The Great lie- ; bellion; A History of the Civil War in the Uni- ! ted States." We lack the space, just now, to ; publish an extended review of this book, and j must be content, for the present, with caution- , j ing our readers against receiving all of its state- j j ments as historical truth. It is full of glaring ; errors and abounds in gross misrepresentations j of well-known facts connected with the origin ' and progress of (he war. It is evidently writ j ten with the purpose of f icklinor the fancv of th j i superlatively "loyal"' and of gulliug the minds iof the innocent and unsuspecting. Besides, it ! j is gotten up to sell, the "almighty dollar" being i kept steadily in view by both author and pub- j iisher. Apart from this, Mr. I lead ley is not the j man to produce a reliable record of the ovents I of this unhappy civil war. He has written a 1 number oi sot drsant historical works, and no j critic has yet had the hardihood to accord him j [ praise, either for clearness of style, or for an ! impartial and truthful presentation of his sub- t jeet. His "Napoleon and his Marshals," is no- j ' toriously in had odor in the literary world, j abounding, as it does, in senseless rhapsody and ; high sounding rhodomontade, suited to nothing in the wide range of modern literature, unless jit be the silliest of yellow cover novels. Be- 1 j sides, he has always belonged to the party in • the North, which desired the early coming of that . "irrepressible conflict" which he knew would ' culminate in just such a civil war as that which j now wastes and destroys our land. In oilier wotfls he has always been a "Republican."— : Ilence, the partisan coloring which his work presents and the evident design on the part of j ; the author to misrepresent the causes of the war j j and many of the principal incidents in its prog j rest. But no historian can at present write a ! just and true account of our civil wa."- Even ; thorough impartiality cannot tell the truth about | j it. Facts which are hidden beneath the rubbish j jof politics, must first be developed; state secrets i | of great importance, which the present admin- i i istratioo w ill not permit to he revealed, must j first be disclosed; the false hue with which the j I government, censor paints the description of bat j ties, must first be worn otf by the certain trit j u rat ion of time; when these things shall have : come to pass, and not till then, will a true his j tory of these bloody times be written. 1 _ j ANOTHER RAID BY MORGAN.—John Morgan, L ; who escaped from the Ohio penitentiary some j j time ago, has again raised a largo cavalry force j j and is now raiding through Kentucky. A part j of his force was reported to be within thirty miles of Cincinnati. GEN. SHERMAN'S ARMY.—The army under Gen. Sherman has not made much forward i progress since the battle at Dallas. It is sta j ted that the latest conflicts between this army i and that of the rebel Johnston have been un j favorable to our arms. RETURNED.—James Duffy, of the 76th P. V., who was made a prisoner by the rebels at the storming of Ft. Wagner, and confined in tho Columbia (S- C.) jail, has l>een released and ; has returned to his home in this place. A GOOD HOTEL.-—The Kettering House, Green- j | burg, kept by our friend, Henry Kettering, Esq , | | is one of the best hotels in Western Pennsylva ma. We advise our friends who may visit j Greea.-burg, to Mop at the Kettering House. ' DR. W. 11. W ATSON, JB —It givee US pleas ure to be able to record the noble conduct if our young townsman, DH. \V. H. WATSON*, JB, Surgeon of the 105 th I*. V., in remaining with and taking care of, the wounded left on the field by Gen. Grant, when about to make his d:toir around the rebel fortification. Within (he 'irns ! of the ene my, surrounded by guerrillas and in ; the midst of the desolate and cheerless WH- j derncs-, it was truly a trying and dangerous talk i to discharge the duties imposed upon him Many n man would, doubtless, have shrink from the perils attendant upon such service, bit j the Doctor, faithful to his duty and true to the ' instincts of humanity, stood bravely up to lis j i work and ministered to the comfort of the saf- j j feting soldiers under his care, entirely regarl loss of his own safety. Such conduct deserves | the approbation of till who feel for the suffer i ings of the soldier and should be written down ; in historv as one of the redeeming incidents of : this bloody and unhappy war.. We cony the ! following on this subject, from the corrospon i deuce of the Philadelphia Inquirer : WHITE liucsF. LANDING, June 1, 1861. : Yesterday Dr. W. WATSON, Surgeon of the ! One-hundred-and-fifth Pennsylvania, and A.-sis ! tnnt Surgeon Gk:;au> I). O'FARHHI.u, Sixly- I third Pennsylvania Volunteers, with their lms j pital nurses, arrived here from the Wilderness, where they had been detailed t > remain with the wounded of BIKNEY'S Division after the j battles of the sth, 6th and 7th. Tiiev remain - I ed three weeks within the limits of the enemy's ! lines, during which time they suffered much, ! not only from the deprivation of all supplies, but also from the frequent incursions of White's and other guerrillas, who plundered both men and officers alike. The wounded under charge of the above named Surgeons were recaptured by two regi mentscf cavalry and one of infantry, and brought to Fredericksburg, and thence shipped for Wash ington. They speak in the highest terms of the care and attention they received from Drs. WATSON and O'FARKEUI.. The Fremont Platform. We give below the platform adopted by the Cleveland Convention. It will lie seen that it | is a strong ''war" document, declaring that "the : rebellion must be suppressed by force of arms 1 and without compromise." It is also radieal ily anti-slavery, taking t he ground that the re ! hellion has destroyed slavery, and that the | Constitution should be so amended as to pro ! hibit its re-establishment. These are the car -1 dir.al doctrines of the ''Republican" party. and Gen. Fremont is its representative man. ! Ilence, Democrats bad better prepare to fight ; the Fremonters, for there is danger that they will lie more formidable opponents in the end, than the shoddy faction which nominated Mr. Lincoln. Fremont evidently has the heart of ! his party with him and we must not be deeeiv iedas to his strength. We publish the plat i form for the information of our readers: CKEF.D OF TIIF.

The re-nomination of Lincoln. j WKY FACF-S OF THE ACOMTIOMST?. Many of the abolitionists are not at ail pies ed with the re-nomination of Abraham the fist : They growl and grumble in ill-disguised difip j pointment. For instance, Mr. Samuel iVlce- j i son, one of the editors of the N- Y. Triune , thus writes to that paper: The history of the Baltimore Convention tore- , nominate Abraham Lincoln is written in lie delegation rooms in part. It is a hiatoryjin ; part of the admission into the conventioqof i states, and into the federal Union as etutesjof Arkansas, where under Banks we have len whipped not only out of our boots, but out of ur actual political possession of the soil sufficient Se lect a hog-reeve ; of Louisiana, where we !<vc j political possession just so far as our tbjty j | pounder Pnrrott guns will shoot, and not fie | inch further; of Tennessee where we haveju- j risdiction and political grip just as i i in Funday have foothold lietween tha ebb pd j flood of the tide, and not one inch more tof j I Novada. Colorado, Nebraska, scarcely flecjed i territorica, in whose bphalf. wkou kcockiniat' the Elect and "elbowing older Mas- ; sachusetts and old New York in their liot hun ger and thirst after the rewards of politics, not* one word could lie invented for public avowal ! save that their admission to the convention would help three several schemes to bring them into the Union as states!; I do not care now to write the history of tins new chapter in A mcriean politics. It can bide its time. The Tribuue , in its editorial article on the j nomination, acquiesces in the choice of the Con vention, with the poorest possible grace, show ing, at length, why it deems the selection of ; Lincoln a bad one, whilst the Evening Post says j tartly, that the ticket would have been Letter j with Abe at the tail instead of the head. So i much for the coldness of the two great organs !of the abolition party. The rank and file will I show, with more practical c licet, still greati r | and tuore decided dissatisfaction with the Ual : tiruore nomination, if we live to see the ides of j November. _ THE DRAFT.

I was curious i I f i to know who is the Superintendent of that ) j school and accordingly asked him.
