BEDFORDINQUIRER. BEDFORD, Pa. ff"ridK3 HSurnlptl. May It, ISGS. "FEARLESS AND FREE." {i. OVER—Editor nn<! Proprietor. The Bedford Gazette is weekly publishing article?, editorial and otherwise, in which it attempts to divide public opinion iu this Coun ty, which is now almost unanimous tn favor of upholding our country in the war forged upon ua by the traitors who arc r.ow in rebellion against tße Government of the United State*. Wc state without fear of successful contradic tion, that there are not twenty disuniouists in Bedford County, and they follow the lead of the Bedford G-rzette. Tito Democrats of Bed ford County, with the exception of these few referred to above, condemn the course of that p3per, and sufpctl tbe Government in its ef forts to crush this infamous rebellion, which has been legun with less cause than any other in history. The following are a few of the outrages cf the recession traitors : They marched in armed bodies and compell ed tbe guards of the United States forts and arsenals to surrender them: but it was not war. With arms in tlioir hands tbey captured mil lions of dollar* worth of cannon, smalt arms and munitions of war, belonging to the Uni ted States; hut it was not war. They se'zed the ships of the United States: but it was not war. They seized the mints and the money of the United States, and applied them to their own use; tut it was not war. They fired on an unarmed ship, carrying supplies to a fortress cf the United States; but it was net war. They besieged the fortresses of the United States, surrounded them with military works, and cut "cif their supplies; but it was not war. They fired on Fort Sumter, compelled the lowering cf tbe American flag, and the sur render of that Fort; but according to the Bedford Gazelle, ail this wag not war. But if tbe United States attempt to relieve their beleaguered garrison, or even send lliein - provisions in an unarmed vespci, it is war. fit' they attempt to transport a oaooon from cue fori to another, or from a foundry to a forf, it is war. If they transfer a soldier from fort to fort, >or frow>State to State, it i 9 war. If they scud out a tbip to protect our citi zens, it is war. To talkcf executing fbeir laws, protecting their commerce, or collecting their revenue, it is war, horrible war. Traitor?, who are of tbe same material a? the "oow boys ' of the Revolution, are the only CEOS who defeud the secession traitors in their unjust war agaiust the best government which man ever invented.

A pretty way cf "dropping" jartyism, truly ! —Bedford Gazelle, May 10. When w<3 penned tbe line quoted by the Gazette , wo expressed what wc believed to be the truth, that "partyisin ID Bedford County has been dropped," so far as the war was con eerned. The Bedford Gazette had beeD for weeks before we published this announcement, publishing tbe announcements cf candidates for Associate Judge, Commissioner, and Trea surer, "subject to tbe decision of the Demo unt io County Convection." Sooner theo sup port tbe whoio tieket nominated by a "Demo cratic County Convention," it, w*s thought best to hold a Conventi m and nominate out own ticket, and support it, instead of voting for one nominated, probably, by the Gazette end its littlo disunion clique, and composed, in part, it might be, of disuniemsts. That paper would, no doubt, like to catch us in that littlo trap, hut Republicans won't take the bait.— In Allegheny County, in this State, where ' the liepuhlicaus have 10,000 majority, they agree with the Democrats to hold a Union Convention, and nominate and support candi dates from both parties. Tbe same i- the case, we believe, to several other Counties. New, wo propose the satno plan of "dropping" par tyisuj in Bedford L'cuDty. What say you, Gazette? Iho Governor of this Skate is carrying out this idea, also, for ho has appointed Gen. Ovdwailadcr, Major General; Gen. Patterson and Col Wytcocp, Brigadier Genesis; and Gen. Hale, Commissary Get-era!, of the Penn sylvania volunteer?, alt or' wbotn are Demo crats. Ir, New York, the Republican Gover nor, has appointed Gen. John A. Dix, one ol the most promioent Democrats ID tbe UnioD, Major General of tbe New Y rk volunteers. Trniy all patriots drop polities in this war forced upon us by the traitors. Tbe following letter from Lieut. Win. P. Batndollar, was not received in lime for our last paper. It gives us pleasure to bear that the reports of bad treatment are unfounded: CAMP SCOTT, YOUK, PA., M>.y 8, 1861. D.

BEDFORD INQUIRER. f HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM MISSOU RI. BURRENDKR OF A BRIGADE OF MISSOURI SECESSIONISTS. Sr. Louis. Friday, May 10, 1861. Gen. Front's brigade of Missouri militia, encamped at Oanrp Jackson, on the western ' outskirts of the city, surrendered uncondition ally this afternoon OH demand of Oupt. Lyon, eonimauder of tho Uuited Statas forces of | this city. Uapt. Lynn marched on Camp Jackson with i some 6,000 volunteers, surrounded it, and planted eight field pieces on the adjoiniug ; etiiioeo-ocs. The following letter was sent from Cart. Lyon to Gen. Frost; HEADQUARTERS U. S. TB<VPS, ) LOUIS, May 10, 18GT. J j To Gen. DM. FROST— Sir: Your command lis regarded us evidently hostile toward the Government of the United Ttates. It is, for the roost part, made up of Secessionists, who have openly avowed their hostility to the General Government, and have been plotting at the seizuro of its property, and the over throw of its authority. You are openly in communication with the so Called Southern Confederacy, which is now jnt war with the Uuited States; aDd you ore receiving at your camp from the said Oonfed ! eracy, under its flag, large supplies of materi al of war, roost of which is koown to be the property of the United States. These extraordinary preparations plainly indicate none other than the well-known ptir i pose rf the Governor of this Stats, under whose orders you are acting, and whose pur pose recently communicated to the Legislature, lias just been responded to by that body iu the roost unparalleled legislation, having in direct view hostilities to the Gsner*l Govern ment, and co-operation with the enemy. ; In v.ew of these considerations, and your failure to disperse in obcdiance to the proo i lamatmn of the Freflidem, and of the eminent i necessity of State policy and welfare and | obligations imposed upon Kit- by ins-truetioris i from Washington, it is my duty to demand, ; and I do hereby demand of you an immediate surrender of your command with no other conditions than that all persons surrendering ! under this demand eball be humanely and | kindly treated.. Believing myself prepared ■ to enforce this demand, one half hour's time before doing so will be allo wed for your com plianee therewith. (Signed,), W. LYON, Capt. 21 lufuntry, comma tiding Troops. It is understood that Gen. Fio.-t *ays this letter was not received by him until hta camp was surrounded by United Ftites troops, lie ! replied that Ihe encampment was otganized under the law ol the St ti aimply for o gan z • g j and drilling the volunteer militia of tbis uoili i tary district. Not expecting any demonstration, lie was unprepared successfully to resist a-ttack; there i fore he accepted the terms specified, and i .-nrrendered hi* coumund—*b'-ut 600 men I then in camp, a large number being in the ei ! y on leave, i'bey theu laid down thetr arm-, and wore cscor'ed to the city as prisoners i f war. A release on parole has been tendcied the j offi'ers and troops, providing they would tike ;an oath not to tike up arms again against the j Govtroinent of the Uuited Stiles, which they d dined, eo the gtout.d that it iroplei they had already tak u up arms against the Govern ment, which they disc.aimed. Just before the troops left for the city, and while tha State forces were drawn up between the two lines of volunteers, several reeks were thrown at the volunteers, and a few pi&toi shots fired by ex cited parties in tho surrounding crowd, which was composed of a largo Dumber of citizens, including many women. One shot took effect in the leg ot Capt. Blantowski, and as be fell he gate the word to fire, which was obeyed by some two or three companies, resulting in the death of upward of 20 porsons, iocludiug two wouinn and sevctai children, and badly woun ding sever.l others. iQ: foil..wing are the tnly name? of those killed tint can bo ascertained to night: Messrs. Waiter McDonald, This. A. Havens, Nicholas Ku oi-! a eh, L.mlv Summers. The following are fatally wouLded: (Jlaiborno Wilson and Truman Wright. Intense excitement exists in tho city. Large bodies of troops arc thronging tha streets. The Democrat nud jJnztiger offices have been threatened by the uiob, but through the promptness of the Chief of Police, Mr. Doao ugh, any violent demonstration, thus far, has been prevented. All gun shops iu the city are guarded oy an artuod police force, and about 200 have beeu detailed to protect Tne Democrat and Anzex ger offices. The lateness of the hour prevents tho ob taining of rnoro reliable information to night. IMPORTANT TO VOLUNTEER 3. Gov. Curtin has issned the foliowicg oircu lar leftcr to the Colonels of regiments. There i cau be no doubt that tho response will realize all that, is expectod by the Federal govern ment from the citizen soldiery of Peansylva- ' I nia: ! I have been requested by the Secretary lof War to let the Regiments now in the ! i service of the State, know that it is "preferred Jto have all tha Regiinonls already mistered \ j into service for three months, which are not' | actuilly scut forward, re-muMeted into service j for three years or during the War, should ' they he wiiiing to do so." I therefore deem : it proper to direct that you immediately ascer tain the preference of your Regiment upon this question, and communicate tho result forthwith to me. Those who do not desire to re enlist for this additional period, can be formed into Regiments, or have sack arrangements uiade as to enable tbem to retire with honor, in accordance with their enlistment. I canuot refraiu Loot saying that it would afford me pleasure to see tho Regiments so promptly and patriotically offered to the State, give this additional and more enduring evi dence of continued devotictti to their country. Very Respectfully Yours, A. G. CURTIN. Governor and Commander- in- Chief. The lighting of a cigar caused the dreadful cxpiosiou of tho oil well near Titusville, Pa., which killed 15 or 20 persons, burned many others, uud became a suiall volcano. Mr. Rouse, ono of the victims, was last year a Member of the Legislature, and leaves by will i SSO, 000 to the poor of Warrtu county. SPEECHES OF FOIR GOVERNORS. On FiicLy night Lchm l's Band proceeded to the Angier House, in Cleveland, to serenade tha s evcrul Governors there assembled. "Kail to the Chief" was given by the band, followed by "Hail Columbia," and "The Red, White and Blue." At the close of the latter, there was a movement upon the Bank street balcony, and ox-Mayor Senter in troduce 1 Governor Dcnnison of Ohio. GOV. DENNISON'S SPEECH. The Governor made a few remarks, thanking the j people for the attention. He hid not cotne here ! to spoak, bet. with the Governors of other States, I had more ini|iort:int business on hand, which would I consume much of tho night. H spoke of the universal determination fo maintain tho Feder.'l Government, and said the North was already marshaled for tho conflict. Whatever power be i could command should always be exerted to sustain | the Government and defend the State from nil as l saibit.ts, come from whatever quarter they may.— i In the name of the people of Ohio, he said, treason shnil be emshed out, rebellion shall he put down, at all hazards. Enthusiastic applause greeted this declaration. Gov. Oennison then introduced Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania, who was w deomcd by a round of cheers, followed by another for Penn sylvania. REM ARMS OF GOV. CURTIN OF FENN Gov. C. said he thanked the people for thecbee-rs for Pennsylvania. That State wis and ever would he loyal. There as well as everywhere in the North, a chord has been struck that viberates music jto which all loyal citizens must keep step. Every i man in Pennsylvania, said the Governor with ! emphaais, is ready to take up arms in defence o< the Government. Our State w.is founded in peace, and her citizens love peace : but they al<o love the institution' of our fathers. There c nld bo no doubt of the result. Treason must and will he cruslio 1 out. It is now no tune to treat and dally with traitors _ Pennsylvania is with Ohio in this contest, and wrtl stand shoulder to shoulder with every loyal State to the end. The traitors may send their spies through the country, if fhey chooso: let them report defection or dissatisfaction in our midst, if they can find any. Gov. Cur'in closed by exclaiming: To arms, my fellow citizens! Tho land of Washington shall defend the flag of Wush j ipgton, and it shall wave over every f"rt and egpi i to) in the thirty-four States of the Union. ADDRESS OF GOV. RANDALL OF WIS. For the three hearty cheers that were given for j Wisconsin, he thanl-ed them. He said we have been | accustomed to speak of our institutions as different from all others io the world. The thousand ties <>f patriotism and in'erest, we have sail, are stronger to enforce cur laws thin tho despotisms of the Old World. A great change has come—an enemy has grown up among us, threatening the subversion of our Government and the destruction of our in stitutions. Wo ail know, where tiiis war began, j and we know where it ought to end. An army j should go down the Mississippi, and leave a trail from Montgo-'ory to Charleston ; another shoiill go down the Eastern coast, and the two armies meet at Charleston. There the war began ; there ft ought to end. when tha city is wiped from ex istence—no monument left there t > show that a human be'ng once inhabited it—uo place far even tiie owl to hoot or the bittern to mourn [Loufl j cheers.] We have done the people of the South j no injustice—we have given them what they never j should have asked. There is but ono sentiment among ns now, however j we have obH-crated all partj distinctions, and know nothing hut devotion to our country. The blood of our fath rs shall be transmitted to generations yet to cotne, with not one right lost, not one attrihute impaired. Our armies shall be the tldls fa just G >l. with which, upon his Southern thre.-hing floor, be shall pound out treason, and do full justice to all. GOV. BLAIR OF MICHIGAN. Gov. Blair of Michigan was then introduced.— After thanking the people for th-ir granting to Michigtn he said this was not the time for speak ing, but for action. We are not to count tho co-t of this contest; it is enough to know that our Government is assailed. By the spirit of the pco pie, we know that the flig of our count y—our old dig—will yet he raisei upon Fort Sumter [Cheers.] ne trusted that tliebrave Anderson will plant that flag— sullied by no fault of his—upon the fortress he defended. Michigan, he said, was with the loyal States in spirit, determined that the union ot the States shall still exist. No fareign power shad be established U|K>II Tur Southern hordeis; no Je!f. Davis shiii there estati ish a hostile Government. The traitors may. an I shall, go into the Gulf, hut they shall not take the terri tory with them. We must, make short work of this contest; we cannot afford to he long about it. In our dispatches to the President each day WE are saying, "Call upon us for more troops." He wanted to send half a dozen regim ;ats from Michi gan with the one criled for, and tho State was ready to pay the bills. The loyal States arc re solved to live, an i, if nead be. to die, unler the oldfltg. The armies of ilie Union would mirch, doing injusiicetto none, but, by the help of God, doing full jurtice to all. Cheers greeted Gov. B. when lie closed. Proclamation I>y the President. WASHINGTON, May 11.
