To ovr Patkoxr. —At the beginniug of the business year we desire to call the attention of our patrons to a few facts having an impor tant bearing in determining the success or failure of our effort to publish an improved and useful paper. It is not quite a year since we took charge of the Inquirer. Since then we have spared neither labor nor money in our effort to make an acceptable paper. It is with our friends and patrons to determine whether we shall be enabled to continue and improve our paper or whether we shall be obliged to let it fall back to its old standard. We invite the attention of all who feel an interest in the progress and general improve ment of our county in morals, intelligence and prosperity to the following facts. We are to day publishing a larger paper than is published in almost any other county of the same wealth and population in the State. We publish a larger amount of entertaining and instructive reading matter aud general news than almost any other county paper of the same size in the State. We carefuily exclude everything of an immoral tendency from both our reading and advertising columns. We also exclude from our advertising columns all medical nostrums anil cards of quack Doctors gift enterprises, &c, and all patent medicines not known to be reliable. The exclusion of all these cutails upon us a very heavy addi tional expense, from the fact that instead of being paid for standing advertisements, which require setting up but once in two or three months, we are obliged to pay for filling the same space with new matter every week. We have made these sacrifices during the past eleven months at a heavy pecuniary loss in the belief that the intelligent, religions, mor al, law abiding members ef the community wutfkl lend us their aid iu so good a cause and justify our course, by their encouragement and aid iu increasing our circulation and pat ronage. There are large numbers of our peo ple taking city papers, mauy of them tilled with the disgusting and licentious details of police courts, the immoral advertisements of quack doctors, the alluring temptations of gift establishments, Ac, all designed to lead the young and inexperienced astray, rob them of their money cud corrupt their morals. How many who would be horrified at the idea of recommending, tbe gambler, the debauchee the libertine or any other pest of society, as associates for their sons and daughters, con sider through nine-tenths of the newspapers of the day, they bring the same influences into direct and constant contact with the minds of their children at a period when the youthful mind is most susceptible and when the influ ences brought to bear on it, to a great extent, shape the character of the future man or wo man for life? Thus much for the social in terests. Our political course shall be in the future as in the past, a fearless advocacy of the great cause of human right, liberty and progress, and an independent criticism of public men and measures, without fear or favor. We shall at the same time advocate the nomination in onr own ranks, for office, of sober, honest, intelligent men and oppose, to the extent of our ability the nomination of all others, to this end and for the furtherance of the above named objects we ask tbe assis tance of every good and true man in the ranks of the Union party in extending the circula tion of our paper. We are now entering up on a most important political campaign, in which are to be elected a State and County ticket. The result in Pennsylvania will be regarded as either the justification or rebuke of the noble men in Congress, who are now standing up for the right of all men to the protection of their persons and property,and in the county it is to be determined whether the reckless expenditure of the hard earned mon ey of the tax payers shall be continued for another year. Our terms are $2.00 in ad vance ors2,23ifpaid within six mouths, $2.50 if not paid in six months aud $3.00 if not paid within the year. Campaign paper from June Ist, 1806, until the close of the campaign 65cts, per single copy; 10 copies, $6,00; 20 copies, SIO.OO. The last Lecture of the Series for the benefit of the Cemetery was delivered to a full house ou Tuesday evening the '27 th ult. by Dst. C. N. IIICKOK, on "Bedford and Bedfdrd Life.'" As was expected by every body the Doctor took off the ancient town in a manner that was highly amusing to the natives. His happy "taking off" of onr peculiarities in general ought to stimulate our people to brush up and study a neater system of architecture. It any of the town council wore present it would be well for them to take advantage of his critical dissection of the material with which our streets are covered. It take* the Doctor to do up the handsome and he did it most effectively on this occasion. IWL. Should any of our subscribers change their Post-office address this -spring a note bom them, stating their new address, will be giudly responded to by us. In case the "tatter should be neglected by any of those receiving onr paper we will be under obliga tions to Postmasters who are liberal enough to give us the necessary information. f -''" A Lodge of Good Templars was or ganized nt Bloody Run last week and our mu tual friend .Joseph C. Long placed at the head 0: | l ; We are happy to hear that the friends of 1 omperance are moving all over the coun t'J. Let a Lodge be started in every town ship iu the county. THE WOODBERRY OIL PROSPECTS.—A cor* | respondent, of the Pittsburgh Commercial under the signature of "Keystone" writing from Gaysport Ohio, March 19, 1868, speaks T. ry flatteringly of the prospects of our Wood crry friends. The oil excitement is represented as being very intense over there. We wish them all the luck in the world but presume somebody will get sold, beautifully, in the end, however we hope all may get outright: "In passing through Zanesville, Ohio, I was induced by some friends to visit the newly dis covered oil region, near Gaysport, Blue Rock township, Muskingum county, Ohio, and as I have been an eye-witness I propose giving your numerous oil readers some of the partic ulars. There are but two paying wells here. The "Mecca Well," owned by the Woodbury Oil and Coal Company, of Pennsylvania, is yielding about one hundred barrels per day of the beat lubricating oil I ever saw. It is twenty-seven gravity strong. This well is ninety-two feet deep, and has been pumping since the ninth day of January. The "Bor der Well," owned by the Ohio Salt Creek Oil Company and by the Woodbury Oil Company is yielding about fifty barrels per day and in creasing. The same kind of oil is got from these welkj and sells in your city for 05 cents per gallon. When I left Gaysport there was one or two wells nearly deep enough to strike the precious stuff, and you may expect to hear of some new strikes at an early day. The average depth one has to bore here is from seventy to one hundred feet, and so far there have been no dry holes struck, and it is the opinion of some of the experienced oil men of Pennsylvania that this region is something like Island Run in Beaver county, Pennsylva nialf this assertion should prove to becorrect this will be the oil Eldorado of the world, from the simple fact that it only costs §3OO to bore a well. Here is undoubtedly the place for a "poor man" to invest, that wishes to engage in the oil business. I think that I can write you again in a few days of some new strikes, and I will try and give you all the particulars before I leave here." As IMCOKTAXT BOVXTT BII.I..— The follow ing bounty bill has pagsed the House of Rep resentatives aud we are informed will pass the Senate. This is no more than an act of Jus tice. A number of volunteers re-enlisted in the field and accredited themselves to locali- ties which were reported to be paying large bounties, those localities received the advan tage of the credits, bnt on the return of the volunteers tlieyrefusedto pay the sums which honestly due them. There are several in stances of the kind in this county : WHEREAS, At the beginning of the late Re bellion, certain volunteers entered the mili tary service of the United States .without re ceiving local bounty. And II hereas , Many of said volunteers, while yet in said service, re-enlisted for three years more, under General Orders No. 191, current series, War Department, Washington. D. C., dated June 25, 1803, and its supple ments ; And Many of said veteran volun teers, through a misunderstanding of an Act of the Legislature entitled "An Act relating to the payment of bounties to volunteers," approved the 25th day of .March, 1864, have not been able to secure local bounties from the proper authorities of the places to which they have given their credit; 'i herefore, SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the-same, That all veteran volunteers be longing to organizations of this State, who have been regularly re-enlisted and re-mus tered under General Orders No. 191 from the War Department, dated June 25, 1863, and extending to April 1,1864, and who have not received any local bounty, nor given their credit to localities outside of this State, shall be paid a local bounty of three hundred dol lars, which shall be paid by the proper au thorities of such Counties, Cities, Wards, Boroughs and townships as received the cred it of such veteran volunteers, Provided, That in case such credit be given to localities ' or places included in the limits of any Town ship, such Township, or the proper "authori ties thereof, shall pay said bounty. Section 2. Transcripts from the records in the Adjutant-General's office of this State, certified to by the Adjutant General, as well as General Orders from the War Department shall lie received in evidence, and the place of residence named in the re-enlistment and muster-in rolls shall, in the absence of other evidence, be considered the place of credit. Section 3. That the School Directors of each and every Township, Ward, or Borough in which such credits for veteran volunteers was received and counted in filling the quotas under the several calls of the President of the United States for troops, are hereby au thorized and required to levy and collect a sufficient tax to pay said veteran volunteers, or their heirs or legal representatives ; /Vo vided, That said tax shall not be collected from officers and soldiers now in the service of the United States, or who have been in such service and have been honorably dis charged therefrom, or widows and orphans or widowed mothers of such officers and soldiers who inay have died from wounds received or disease contracted while in said service. NEW ELECTION LAW. —The following IS a copy of an act regulating the mode of voting at all elections in the several counties of this Commonwealth, which has been passed by both the Senate and House: SEC. 1. Be it enacted. etc., That the quali fied voters of the several counties ot this Commonwealth, at all general, township, borough and special elections, are hereby hereafter authorized and required to vote by tickets printed or written, or partly printed and partly written, severally classified as fol lows : One ticket shall embrace the names of all judges of courts voted for, ard to be la beled outside "judiciaryone ticket shall embrace the names cf all State officers voted for, and be labelled "State;" one ticket shall embrace the names of all county officers voted for, including office of Senator and member or members of Assembly, if voted for, and members of Congress, if voted for, and be labelled "countyone ticket shall embrace the names of all township officers voted for, and be labelled "township;" one ticket shall embrace the names of ail borough officers voted for, and be labelled "boroughand each class shall be deposited in separate bal lot boxes. SEC. 2. That it Rhall be the duty of the sheriff's in the several counties of this Com monwealth to insert, in their election procla mation hereafter issued, the first section of this act. "Mine Host," of the Bedford Hotel got up a splendid dinner on last Mond ay, the anniversary of his birth day. A large party were iuvited and were entertained with a splendid repast, one of the best ever prepa red in this place. We hope, with one of the gentlemen present, that he may not be the last of the SHOEMAKERS. AcciLJiXT. —We learn that a sad accident occurred tooue of our townmen, Mr. C. Ma lone, on the P. R. R., near the mountain tunnel, on the 27th inat. He attempted to jump on one of the Express 1 rains as it passed, but missing bis hold, fell under the wheels, lacerating him terribly, and resulting in almost instant death. He leaves a wile and five children to mourn his untimely end. —Jfollidayxbvrg Whig. THE SOUTHERN" PKNXSYLYAXIA RAILROAD — As WE SEE IT. — The supplement to the charter of the Southern Pennsylvania Rail road Company, recently passed by the Leg islature, by a large majority in both Houses, is a significant indication thai there is very small chance for the Pittsburg and Connells ville Railroad Company having restored to it authority to carry its line from Connellsville to Cumberland. For the southwestern counties of Pennsyl vania. a region corrugated with mineral riag es and fertile valleys, the event of most promise and the largest accommodation would be the construction of the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad, from Brinton's on the Pennsylvania Railroad 11 miles from Pitts burg, (where the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad for a long time terminated,) east ward across the Allegheny Mountain and on to a connection with the Cumberland Valley Railroad which ends in llarrisburg, whence Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York are all accessible on short and direct lines; ihe Pennsylvania Railroad Company hav ing a comprehensive plan for the concentra tion and accommodation of river and rail business in Pittsburg, could easily provide any needed additional tracks to the Brinton junction, where eastern bound traffic could be passed to the Southern Pennsylvania line for transit via Bedford,or continue on the Cen tral Pennsylvania line via Altoona, as might be preferred. The rapid expansion and accumulation at Pittsburg will compel a new ventage towards tidewater. Besides, the Western Pennsylva nia Railroad, from its Allegheny valley con nections up and down river, also from a link from Freeport to Homewood or New Cas tle, and other sources, is sure in after years to contribute an immense tonnage and travel to the Pennsylvania Railroad at the Blairs ville intersection. And so, whilst trains may pass off the Pennsylvania Railroad ct the Brinton junction, trains will pass on tD the Pennsylvania Railroad at the Blairsvilie in tersection. In this way the Pennsylvania Railroad Company can, with advantage to both through and local traffic, operate two roads between Pittsburg and llarrisburg with a butt end of duplicated tracks from Harris burg to Philadelphia; between which points there are two roads in operation, each with branches, leaving no urgeut necessity for a third road from the capital to the seaport of the Commonwealth, the local interest east of the Susquehanna being in large part already eared for. And precisely as population and business as well as the geographical area and physical topography of the country made two roads inevitable anil indispensable between Phila delphia and llarrisburg, one via Lancaster, the other via Reading, so do the same out cropping causes and the same visible facts foreshadow two railroads between llarrisburg and Pittsburg, one to be via Bedford as one now is via Altoona. There is, however, this, iuiportaut differ ence in the comparison, that, whereas the Pennsylvania Railroad Company own but one of the two roads hence to Harrisburg, they may own both roads thence to Pittsburg. And as this is a consideration ot great conse quence, and as, moreover, the spirits who rule the destinies of that colossal work know the worth of opportunity, our conviction is firm and fixe d that the Peijpsylvauia Railroad Company will build the Southern Pennsylva nia Railroad, and that, too, without unneces sary delay. The purveys made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have resulted in a location across the Allegheny Mountain of unexcep tionable eligibility : and, altogether, the route combines so many physical advantages with commercial facilities, that every intelligent person can foresee its occupation. It takes no inconsiderable time, to make careful surveys and exact estimates for a mountain line ; neither is its cost light. Moreover, the railroad bond and share mar ket is flat —very flat—as the increasing float ing indebtedness of sundry railroad corpora tion testify; whilst, on the other hand, labor and the necessaries of life, whereby the body is rendered capable of -hard work, command high prices. And hence the aspect of the money market admonishes caution and justifies circumspec tion in preparation for a big outlay, involving millions of dollars. Impatient people on the line of an intended railroad, we are aware, may confound preparation with procrastina tion, and thereupon fret and worry for the coming of the iron horse. But time, if not progress, marks progress, and so, ere many months come and go, portions of the South Pennsylvania Railroad will doubtless be put under contract and the work of construction commenced. Our appreciation of the thoroughness of the identification of J. Edgar Thomson with the Pennsylvania Railroad, we have express ed in these columns. And to this time we have regarded the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad as the iron boy of T. A. Scott, who is not the man to project a road, endow it with a wardrobe of legislative enactments, and then, after having grounded it in the hopes and expectations of the southwest counties— quit. No; that would be a sur render "not dreampt of in his philosophy ; and, consequently, we look upon the South ern Pennsylvania Railroad with confidence in its early construction and faith in its pecuni ary success. When we shall have proof that it is the pol icy of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to give away a "big thing," and that its latch string hangs out to anybody that covets or desires a piece of ground on which its stakes are down, why then, as the coon said to a sure-aim hunter, "we'll come down." But we have no such proof yet, neither are we looking forit, nor do wo want it; for having favored the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad from its inception, we purpose to adhere to its fortunes to its inauguration in a career of transportation of large totals and compensa tory profits. The tiade of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad and of the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad, jointly added to the Pennsylvania Railroad at Harrisburg, will make a lively time on quadruple tracks thence to this city.
