If you can't pay, come and settle at any rate. The un certainty of the times renders (t necessa ry for every man to have his account with : the world as nearly square as possible. We want to pay yrr debts, ~.nd in ordtr tc do this, those ano owe us iur. ,t pay. W. do not desire so make trouble 01 costs to any man, and, therefore, gir this r.o-j tied.

Butler cu the Chicago Platform. 6>en. Benjamin F. Butler, the beau ideal . of the wcr-shriokers, i;r ins recent speech m tha city of New York, favored an offer ; ci terms of peace to 'be southern leaders, 1 tipc. .he basis Oi the Chicago Platform. Beft • the election, any mac who talked I *f making peace with the Sou h, was ct ence set down by the abolitionists, as a ' "copperhead" and a "trcMor." whilst the | Chicago Platform was the horror of hor rors to shoddy loyally. But r.o sooner 1 ia the election over, than one of the lead ing sat; of the administration announ-' CC3 as c - own, the very views expressed by the mucu abused Demo:.atic Conven tion. Now, we would like to know what the petty demagogues wno made so great a b -gbear of the Chicago Platform, will have to pay in regard to Gen. Butler's ta king position upon it. Will they call him "copperhead" and "traitor," also? Or will they veer about, and by endorsing Butler, swallow all the bitterness of the wormwood and gal! which they have com mended to the lips of the Demon, at a ? Wo ihali see. wThe Somerset Herald d* Whig dis plays, ic its last issue, a picture of a shurh rclliny a canncn ball: doubtless intending it ar a representation of the manner in which the editor cf that paper handles can non-balls in the war of which he is so ar dent an advocate. He has certainly made choice of a very propter proxy. term of court closed on Wednesday last. But little business was trans ected. Jacob Crocae, detactiva. was convict ed of assault and battery. Tha Moak mnrdcr ease was continued. A Treftendous Display. The Abolitionists had a gloriiicatiou meeting on Tuesday night last, over the ra-electien of Abraham Lincoln. The en thusiasm (what i.ttle there was) was man ufactured to order by the expectants of the j Toft Office and other "fat" appointment. I A few tallow dips were observable in some j of the windows, but the majority of the houses looked distressingly dark. The De mocracy have frequently gotten up displays, on tha shortest notice, which far excelled this ene, so loag talked of and so greatly prepared for. When the rebels "lay down i their arms," because of Lincoln's re-clec i tion, the Democrats of Bedford will illu | minate their houses and have such a dis j play of pyrotechnics as will attonish the oldest inhabitant. We hope they will do it eooc, so that wo rsay have our jubilee.

But Mr. Diehl's purity of character is toe well known in this county, to sustain any injury from any onslaught from abolition malignity. As to the explanation given, by the ahJ.iticn , ists, ot Mr. Diehl's recent political course, : we can say, and his neighbors will testify, , that he declared hiir. elf in favor of Gen. ! MeCleilan ir ilie presidency, long before ;he was drafted and even before Gen. Kc- I Ciellan i cu received the Democratic ncrn- . j illation.

Why, no longer ago than at the misting o: their last county con- eu ' ticn, they importaned lum to become their candidate for commissioner.

It will not do . for these men now to vilify Mr. Di#M, and r the sconer tbty ceasa their attacla upon i him, tho better will it b £c* them. For t!*e Gatitu. i He Voted For tie Draft.

We'll have no mere conscription," Said the Lineoln men and laughed ; "So vote for Father Abraham, If you'd avoid the draft." "As soon as rebeldoin ShaSJ hear the glorious news, Of Abraham's election, They'll tremble in their shoes. They'll throw away their arms," Said the Linc!n men and laughed; "So vote for Father Abraham, If you'd avoid the draft." "Jeff Davis and Bob Lea < Will go to Mexico, And Beauregard "and Hood will hide, Themselves in Borneo. They'll give us their plantations," Said tie Lincoln men and laughed, "So vote for Father Abraham, If you'd avoid the draft." I took them at their word, I voted for their man, And sat up all election night, To hoar how Shoddy ran. The telegraph did tick, The Lincoln men all laughed, And said, "the Copperheads are >ik, There'll be another draft!" No Copperhead am I, But still I felt quito sick, To think the draft should follow My vote for Abe so quick I asked the Democrats, How is this* and they laughed. And said, "Flow arc you. conscript. You voted for the draft /" In Memoriaiii. The dentil of Liter. John A Gump, was announced, some time ago. through the columns of this paper. YV'e lacked tho space, at that tirne, to do full justice to the memory of our hrave your." friend, and vo :ow take the priv ilege of adding a few words to our former brief notice of Lis untimely end. John A. Gump was born Juunary 25th, 1543 ; died Oct. 20th, 1564, of a wound receive 1 in the Ir'tlc cf the day previous, eighteen miles south of Winchester. He enlisted in tic ser vice of the United States on the 12f.h of Aw "t, 1802 and was eloefed First Lieutenant cf Company D, 138 th Pn. Vols. In November, 1803. he was detailed as Adjutant o* his reg it; ' and in this capacity shared, with Lis rog .r.'.ent, the perils of a number of hard fought buttles. On the first of May, 1864, he was detailed as Adjutant General on the staff of acting Brigadier General Keifer, which position lit held at the time of his death. He took part in every engagement U-twecn Gen. Grant's forces and the enemy, from the Wilderness to Petersburg, until his corps, the 6th, was sent North for the protection of Washington. fcnb sequent to that time, he was in every U tile fought by Gen's Wtd'ace, V/right a. 1 SLeri dan, always where danger was the most immi nent and where duty beckoned him. It is needless to dwelt upon the many enno bling traits of character possessed by this la mented youth. We knew him a? a boy of quick perception, steady habits and manly hearing ; and we believe, so far as others ura concerned we can truthfully apply the lines of Hallcck, "None knew him but to love him, None named him bat to praise." V e give a few extracts from letters in our pos session, showing the estimation in which he was held by his companions in arms. The fol lowing is taken from a letter of Capt. .1 T. Borer, of the 13Stb, to the father of deceased, written from Winchester, Va., on the 23d u!t. : "The Lieutenant has, during tho whole of the campaign, been my constant companion, on the staff of our brigade. My affection for him is as for a brother. He was a true and stead last friend—a brave and courageous soldier. He was, indeed, among the most active of offi cers and his place rennet be refilled lrom our brigade." (4cn. Keifer, commanding the brigade to which cur young hero belonged, writes : "I knew Lieut. Gump a great while, and was intimately associated with him far the'pnst two months. He was always brave nnd valiant up on tire field of battle. He was a gentleman beloved by many friends and acquaintance in the army. All feci his loss and none more than myself." We might continue the testimony to the worth and gallant-y c t the noble Lieut., but it is unneces sary. His n . rnory will be gratefully cherished by many mourning friends and when the sod shall grow green above his resting place, his name | will be recalled with pleasure by associates and | admirers, as that of one who was every inch a i man. "How sleep tbe brave, who sink to rest, **7 alt their country's wishes blest t By fairy hards their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung. There honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wrips their clny. And freedom . hail awhile repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there."

Address, post-paid, CH AS. J. PETERSON, 306 Chestnut street, Phila delphia. [communicated. Sr. CealroVji.ee, Oct 31, 1864. Mr. Editor: — Tho roost of your readers have heard of the death of one of our fellow citazans in this township, Mr. Frederick C Mock, who, on the night of the election, on the 11th of October, • iri-t., while quietly going on ijs way home, was met, arrested and cruelly murdered by a band of unprincipled soldiers, instigated by others, as shown by the finding of a Coroner's inquest. He was buried on Friday, the 11th of the same I * 1 month, and I suppose there were at least one 1 thousand persons on the ground when he was 1 buried. Wlmt brought so large a crowd of people together I could not imagine. I well know that deceased had a great many very " warm friends rind neighbors, bat the crowd be tng sr> very large, I began to think that the rea son of it was that tbe news had gone abroad i Rev. Samuel Kepler was to preach the fu neral sermon. But Rev. Kepler did not Come. We hoard he was sick and could not come. So, 5 an appointment was given out that Mr. Mock's } funeral would be preached on Sabbath, 30th ' ir.st., at half past 10 o'clock. H was not men ' tinned who was to preach, but some how it got I out that Bishop Kepler was to conduct the scr- I I vices. The Sabbath came, and with it the peo ple from all sections of the country round about. i Some enrae ten and fifteen miles to hear the - sermon and pay their last respect to the de . ceased. The Rev. Kepler arrived and took Ids I text in Ist Corinthians, lath chap., 21st verse: "For, "'nee by man came death, by man came ■■ also the resurrection of the dead." Not with [ standing the crowded house, the large number ! unable to get into tbe church, the Bishop drew the attention of all During the entire sermon j you might havo heard a pin drop on the floor, 'so deeply interested were bis bearers. It is | agreed by all who know anything about preach ing, that it was ono of the best sermons ever delivered in this section of tbe country. It was suggested at the close of the exercises that a collection be lifted for the special benefit of Bishop Kepler. Tho collection was held and twenty dollars were contributed for this pur pose, and this was all done without any previ ; ous notice. If the people had had notice that ? ( a collection would have been lifted, I have no 1 ; doubt the sum would have been doubled. Thus j • your numerous readers will see how the people i pprecinte a good man and a good sermon.— " | Hoping that we may be favored to lieer tbe " \ Bithcp frequently, I am yours truly, 1 Or. or rriE ooxTßtßr-Tcnw.

One way among many others, in which this is to be effected, is nn offer by the Secretary of the Treasury, which is soon to lie officially announc ed, to supply all the gold needed for strictly commercial purposes at the premium of 50 per cent. This, it is said, the government is fully able to do, and if it is, the price of the precious metal must soon tumble from two hundred and j fifty to one hundred and fifty. A lady who went to consult.
