TEXAS ELECTION. —The election of Gen. Ward to
Congress in the Eastern District has been officially
announced. This, together with the election of the
Democratic Lieut. Governor and a large majority to
the legislature, effectually destroys Know Nothing- j
ism in Texas.
MINESOTA EJECTION —Rice, Democrat, has been j
elected delegate to Congress from Minesota. The !
vote stands for Ries2ls, Marshall 2134, Olmstead !
1785—three or four small counties to hear from.
INDIANA ELECTION. —The election in the State of
Indiana has resulted in the complete triumph of the
Democratic party by a majority ranging from
13 to 20,000. The Abolitionists and Know Nothings
are completely prostrated in the lloosier State.
Sergeant at Arms.
We learn that a number of the friends of J. TL
SANSO.M, Esq., editor of the Fulton Utmnrrot, will
urge bis claims for the post of Sergeant at Arms of i
the House of Representatives ol this State. Mr. S.
is one ot the most reliable Editors in the state, and
has done good service for the Democratic cause.
We most cheerfully endorse the above from
the Harriabutg I nion and Patriot of last Sat
urday, and hope Mr. S. may lie chosen to this
honorable trust if he desires the post. We
know him well, and can say, in all candor, that
he is both, "honest and capable,'' ami, in addi
tion, he deserves well at tile hands of the Dem
ocratic Party, for whose interests he has labor
ed many years faithfully and zealously. He;,
would, it the people were immediately called ! ,
upon, receive the unanimous recommendation
of the Democrats of Bedford and her daughter ! (

OCP" During the late campaign, this paper j '
took the most strong and unequivocal ground a- '
gainst know-nothingism, even denouncing them 1
more harshly than most of the Democratic press. '
In view of this fact, we felt pleasure in accord- '
ing to Col JM'CLURE, (the editor,) a great degree j r
of disinterested patriotism, and took frequent I x
occasion to applaud his course as manly, inde- a
pendent, and honest. But we find, with regret, c
that we entirely misconstrued the real character '
of the man. An article in his paper of Oct. '
31, shows the cloven toot too plainly to be mis- j 1
understood even by the "way faring man."— ! s
He now deprecates the idea of the old line Whig | '
press lampooning the know-nothings, of which ' n
he has been chief, and calis for a brotherly u
nion between them and ail the other elements
that stand opposed to the Democracy! The
Colonel himself goes for trie Colored Follca.
and proclaims his intention to unfurl the incen
diary Flag of" ABOLITIONISM, u-hich is the
twin-brother to Know-Nothingism, and equally
as dangerous to the true interests of the coun
try. Whenever our opponents unfurl this
BLACK FLAG, promulgating a doctrine in
tended, eventually, to place the NEGRO upon
full equality with the white man—a doctrine
calculated to desolate the entire South, and
crimson its soil with the blood of as chivalrous
a set of people as ever inhabited the earth—we
say, whenever the motly crew of Knov:-.\'oth
ings and Republicans unite upon this infamous
platform, the yeomanry of Pennsylvania are
ready to meet and overwhelm them by such a
majority as was never before given in the glori
ous old Keystone State. We say, then, unfurl
your Banner, and the Democracy will charge
upon you with a force and determination such
as you have never before felt! ! He who at
tempts to unite the two races can be considered
in no other light than a traitor to his country
and tire Constitution under which we live, and
abolitionism , (alias "Republicanism,") points
unmistakeably to this state of affairs, Jet its ad
vocates say what they may !
Hut to come back to our friend Col. JVl'Clure,
a "nullifier" in the fullest acceptation of the
term —we are truly sorry tu have to say, from
the tenor of the article just alluded to, that his
opposition to know nothingism seems to have
been based entirely upon a selfish motive, the
meanest and most reprehensible that can gov
ern the character of man.' A paper called the
"Transcript, ' devoted to the especial and exclu
sive cause of the midnight conspirnfo/s against
IKIIII law and morals, was started in Chambers
burg. This Journal bid fair to divide the pa
tronage of the County with the Whig—and, in
order to break it down, Col. McClur'e very pa
triotically used his best efforts to break down j
the Know Nothing Party, in which we are tree I
to admit, he done good service, although bis mo- j
lire turns out to have been a very bad one.
The Colonel holds an office under the State
Executive worth "a thousand" a year, and he j
now conceives it necessary to unite every thing j
to re-elect Gov. Pollock, and thus secure his j
own bacon, but we can assure him in advance, I
that the (ate ol the enemies of Democracy, is
written in characters not to be misunderstood,
and the next Governor will be a Democrat just as
certainly as the day of election arrives, so that
our neighbor can prepare to walk Spanish.— j
Col. McCiure intends, perhaps, to find some
way to "nullify" the voice of the people, as !
he has attempted to Jo that of the Supreme
Court, but be will find the on.- about as effective J
as the other.
fiiAXKSciviNt,—Gov. Pollock has appoint
ed Thursday, November 22nd, as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving througl out the State.

delivered in the City of Lancaster, Pa., on ,
"Religious Intolerance anil Political Pros cap- i
/Jon," by Col. JOHN W. FOUNEV, and in con- I
sequence of its great merit, we shall, as soon as
our paper is less crowded with advertisements,
| give it a place in the Columns of the Bedford
Gazette. It is a production uhich should be J
in the hands of every voter, as tire truths it
inculcates are such as cannot be successfully re
j futed. FOUNEV is not only one of the greatest
political writers of the present day, but he is J
one of those Democrats that can always be re
lied upon. His address lias been read with great
, interest by many of the citizens of Bedlbrd, and (
highly applauded. In tact, there has been a :
greal demand for it by those who have heard of j
it, and have not yet seen it. It should be pub- j
j lislied by every Democratic paper in the Union,
j notwithstanding its great length. The space it
i will occupy could not be better filled, if as well.
I Send it throughout the length and breadth of the
o e
country, Brethren of the Democratic Press, and :
! you will receive the thanks of all your Deino-
I cralic readers as well as thousands who even
i yet belong to the demoralizing Order of Know
Nothings. We wish some friend would send
us a few more copies ot the Pamphlet , in order
that we may supply many who will consider it
a bright ornament to their ('entre Tables in
the Parlor.
Col. David U. Holms.
KJr~ This gentleman, one of the ablest Law
yers in western Pennsylvania, and a citizen
of handsome personal accomplishments, boldly
set his face against know-nothingism this fall,
and run as a volunteer (or rather fusion) candi
date for assembly in the district composed of Blair
and Huntingdon. He was defeated, as a matter
ol course, because that is one of their strong
holds in Pennsylvania—but the manly and in
dependent course he took has given him more
standing, both at home and abroad, whether '
considered as a Lawyer, a gentleman, or a Poli- j
tician, that the highest position he could have:
obtained through the iniiuence of a secret oath
bouad association. We feel truly glad that we
can refer to such men as Col. Horius, as op
ponents of this dangerous organization, and '
lee! satisfied that the day is not distant, when \
his patriotism and love of Country will be du
ly appreciated bv even hundreds who voted :
against him at the late election. -Col. Holms
would have made an able member of the House,
and the Legislative abilities he posesses would
do honor to any constituency. We congratulate
him upon the handsome vote he received, consid
ing the adverse circumstances under which he i
run. His defeat is far more honorable than the
success of his opponents, who bv their obliga
tions, are bound to support principles repug
nant to every principle of a patriot. Altho'
defeated, he is not conquered, a fact which
Know-.Nothingism will yet learn.
He Held the Keys of his I'risou!
Judge BLACK, in his Opinion on T ! J r-.
PASSMOUL. WILLIAMSON Case, said that ttiis vio
lator of the law '-held the keys of his prison in
his own pocket. 1 ' And how true the remark,
and with what keen foresight Judge B. declar
ed it, as will be seen from the fact that the said
Passmore came into Court, before His Honor,
Judge KANE, on last Saturday, 3d ip.st. and
purged himself of Ihe contempt of Court tor
which he had been imprisoned—whereupon he
was discharged from the gloomy cells of a Pris
on, in which he had incarcerated himself in or
der to be made a martyr in the cause of Aboli
tionism, for political effect —but it did not pay as
the October election abundantly proved. The
humiliating conduct of Williamson, in thus ac
knowledging his error,after laying five months
in prison, has lopped oh"at least 50 per cent ot
the capital the Abolitionists intended to work
upon next fall. The Daily A'ews (K. \.) mor
tified at the finale of this transaction, comforts
Williamson by telling him "that he has learned
a lesson which may be of service to him"—and
advises him "henceforth to mind his own busi
ness, and let that of others alone !"
Judge KANF. acted throughout this whole mat
ter with a degree of firmness and legal ability
which will endear him to every law abiding
man in this glorious Union. We always look
ed upon Judge KANE as one of the first Judges
in our country—as a gentleman of sterling in
tegrity—and possessing every qualification, as a
citizen, that renders man an ornament to socie
ty. We think more of him now than we ever
did—and the decision of our SUPREME
COURT, on this subject, will place the distin
guished Tribunal a little higher, in this estima
tion of the public, {if this were possible ,) than
they have ever been estimated. As a whole,
the Pennsylvania Judiciary stands unrivalled.
Abolitionism will fizzle out in the Presiden
tial campaign just as Passmore has. . Murk it! !

ELECTION OF ADJUTANT GENERAL !

CCTWe take the liberty of making the followfe
pouur,/ and forcible extract from a letter bearing dje
November 5, rS.'is, addressed- io us after reading I?
Oazetl* of last week . The writer of this paragrai
is one of the mo>t accomplished gentlemen in <x
Commonwealth—is an officer of high rank—and lis
faced the enemy on more than one hard foujt
battle field, in which he won laurels that will new
lade whilst Patriotism has a name in our happy lal.
The view he takes of these two subjects will, *
think, be endorsed by'nine-tenths of the people d"
Pennsylvania ; and by the military without a dissi
ting voice. Put to the extract :
GfT" "The idea of electing the Adjutant Geneil
is a good oiuf. He is not a Cabinet Officer; arid the;
• is no good reason why he should be an appointee f
; the Governor. The Adjutant Genera! is the Ch I
ot the General Staff—not an aid-de-camp of theG
vernor. To atten.pt to remove him without cam,
is an abuse of power for which the paity attemptig
it is liable to impeachment.
The Governor has no right to appoint as many ai<-
de-Canip as he pleases. It is a violation of usue
and has no precedent. 1 have never been able fo fid
a law that authorized the appointment of any, nor o
1 believe the Governor has a right to appoint one.-
lle holds the >aine position relatively to the MIIIU
that the President does to the Army. What woul
he said if President PIERCE tvonld flood the ccu
try with some thirty or forty thousand aids-de-cafi
4 with the rank of I.ieut Colonel.' 1 rather thijk
that the youngest giaduafe of West Point, or tie
greenest appointments in the new Regiments, woiti
laugh at it—and 1 am quite sure that not a gentiitl
would present arms to them. These appoinfrneits
by the Governor are a positive NUISANCE—
BL RLESQI E upon the Militia—and an insult to tie
Regimental Officer. The title is degraded. "Col
nel" and "Dunderhead" have become synony mot?
terms. It is due to our VOLUN TEERS that tfe
Legislature should enact a law rescinding the Cott
mi-sions now- issued, and limiting the number (if i
ny are allowed, which 1 consider unnecessary)
hereafter to two, or at most three."

election, (allthings considered,) than any other coui
ty in Pennsylvania, except, perhaps, Lancaster aid
Allegheny. Somerset used to give its 17 and IStO
federal majority, but one year's reign of Know XoH

ot about 200, notwithstanding the large ralculatiais
of our friend, Col. Euik, made in Bedford last Au

two ways .

and his friends, convinced hundreds of K. N's of thar
error, and induced them to turn their batteries -
gainst those with whom they acted la>t year. We
cannot but look upon the conduct of our Presideit
Judge, in so manfully and so boldly expressing his ;
litter detestation of this DISREPUTABLE organiza
tion, with the highest admiration arid esteem, as ur
are satisfied does the entire Democracy of the State,
as well as a large number of old line Whigs who re- j
fused to how at the feet of this great agent in prt
motmg the kingdom of Satan, llis patriotism acil i
love of country will not soon be forgotten by an en- j

An Incidkvt.—A few mrmttrs since a lady belong
ing to thi< city went to New York and pu trip at one of
the Broadway hotel. Alter going to her room for
the night,she took out her pocket book and watch,
laid them on the table, and then sat down to read.—
While engaged in reading she thought she heard
breathing from some one apparently near by, but
finally concluded it must be imagination. Soon after
she commenced making preparations to retire, and
in adjusting her hair she dropped one of her hair
pins. While stooping to pick it up she di>rovered a
hat under the bed, and a c!o-e ob-ervation revealed
to her sight the full-length figure of a man. With
out evincing any emotion she threw a shawl over her
shoulders, went out of the room, locked the door af
ter her, and stepping into the hall, she rang a bell
which snmmoned to her assistance the proprietors,
who called in the assistance of a police ofiicer and
the intruder was arrested. There was found on the
prisoner a hottle of chloroform. He >vas convicted
on the testimony of the lady, and sent to the state

HORRIBLE MURDER.
j A correspondent at Dndglassville sends us
j the particulars of a horrible murder, committed
' on Wednesday night, on the person of .Mrs.
; Hannah Shingle, a widow lady about 60 years
| old, residing in North Coventry township,
I Chester county, one and a half mires south of
j L nionville. The house was entered bv means
of a ladder placed against a window in the sec-
I ond story, and if appears that the murdered wo
j man was down stairs when the murderer uas
climbing in the window above. She went up
to see what was wrong, taking her axe with
her, as she was accustomed to do. Upon com
ing to (he head of the stairs, she was met hy Ihe
villain, when a desperate struggle ensued. He
pushed her to a bed which was near bv, suc
ceeded in taking the axe from her, hit hi-r some
five or six times across the head, and killed her
almost instantly. She was undoubtedly killed
on supposition that she had money on the house,
as the murderer rifled everything in the house,
where he supposed money could have been con
cealed : even an old clock case downstairs, was
broken open. One ot the neighbors states that
she was ill the habit of putting money some
times iu the clock. The murderer succeeded
in getting all the money she had, with the ex
ception of S") 12:3 which was found in one cor
uer ot tfie Bureau. As yet, suspicion rests up
on no one : and the villain is still at large. Mrs.

Inauguration of Gov. Andrew Johnson.
Tin- inauguration of the Hon. Andrew John
son as Governor of Tennessee took place on the
23J inst. Upon taking the oat!) of office, Gov.
Johnson delivered the following patriotic ad
dress :
Gentlemen of the Semite, of the House of Rep
resentatives, and Fellow-Citizens :
It is not my purpose ou the present occasion
to make an address to you. Two years ago I
presented, in the form of an inaugural address,
mV views in regard to national and Slate policy
which I thought then ought to be pursued, and
would now, if it were necessary, reiteiale and
j endorse them as being sound and correct. —
j They were my views and sentiments then, they
! are mine now, and I have been confirmed in
1 them by relief two and expejience. The lea-
I ding and fundamental principle* of Democracy
i were then laid down, constituting, as they do,
j the lour great cardinals of my political creed.
They are inherent and self-existing in the na
ture of man, and will cease to exist only with
man's total annihilation from the earth. They
were taught and practised by the Founder oi
our holy religion, and they will have followers
and advocates so long as His precepts and ex -
j ample are respected and received by the civil
ized world as being of Divine origin.
The Democratic party of the nation is now
passing through a severe and trying ordeal,
contending with an enemy tjj.it cone s as a thieJ
in the night, cautious and subtle in its approach,
noiseless 1:1 its footsteps, and swift in its pro
gress ; in its transitory pause exerting an iniiu
! ence upon the morals, religion, and politics of
j the country, as withering and deadly in its el-
I feet as the poisonous emission of the Upas tree
lisup m ail animal life, But Democracy has
I heretofore passed similar ordeals; and it will,
I as I confidently believe, as it, lias done on for
mer occasions, rise from the present contest
purer and stronger than at auy former period of
our country's history. The people have heard
the struggle that lias been going on ; they have
been aroused to a sense of the great danger that
surrounds and threatens our institutions ; tiiev
; are in their might coming up to the rescue, and
will save the couriti v and preserve the consti
j tution from a practical violation of some of its
| most essential piovisions.
Democracy knows, and it is to be expected,
too, that every plan, effort, and undertaking
that has a tendency to improve and to elevate
the great mass of trie people, is naturally incli
ned "o excite the illwili and opposition of those
in possession of considerable learning, wealth
and power, or those who contend for undue a i
vantages over their fellow men. It is impor
tant, therefore, always lo b'-ar in n ind, that
' whatever tends substantially to benefit the com
mon people will be generally viewed with hos
! tility by the pseudo aristocracy of the country.
Hence, genuine Christianity and Democracy
; both originate with, and have mainly been sup
ported by, men of humble origin, circumstances,
: and situations, whom those puffed up with un
due wealth,assumed learning, power, rank, and
authority, generally profess to despise ibr their
low birth, poverty and ignorance.
Anything which has a tendency to promote
i genuine civilization, Christianity, and Democ
racy, is most in accoidance with the interests
and feelings of the mass of the people. VVe
must, therefore, look to them chiefly for an im
pulse or true sense of equal justice and fellow
feelings, and for whatever imports a common
good, or the promotion of justice, hnmanitv,
prosperity, and happiness to mankind in gen
} eral.
V irtup and intelligence, talent and genuine
learning, honest industry, economy, and real
merit, combined with a heart that loves its kind,
]of whatever clime, tongue, or condition, con
stitute the onlv aristocracy that can ever com
mand and receive the respect and admiration of
the American people. An aristocracy like this
has my prefounrl respect, and no other lias, ft
is principles and sentiments iike these which
enable the patriot and philanthropic to ex
claim, in sincerity and truth, that the world is
my home, and that every honest man is my
brothir.
In assuming the heavy responsibilities of a
second gubernatorial terra, I must be permitted
to state that I have, or feel that 1 have, p. r
formed every duty which has been imposed on
me hy law and the constitution with strict
fidelity : and do now enter upon the second
term, as I did two years ago upon the first,
with a fixed and unalterable determination to
discharge every duty growing out of my official
station with punctuality and strict justice to all.
It is with no ordinary pleasure that f avail my
self of this occasion to fender one time more to
the sovereign people of the State n'V unfeigned
gratitude for this additional evidence of their
confidence in trie as a man and public servant.
I will and, in conclusion, that the people have
never deserted me, and, God being willing, I
will never desert them.
DISCOVCRY'OF DIAMONDS IN VA. —On Monday,
the 27th of August, a most singular discoveiv
of two diamonds was made at "Dudley's Ferry,"
King and Queen county, the residence of Will
iam Blocks', Esq., A correspondent of the
Richmond Whig details the circumstances of
the discovery of these diamonds, which are in
deed somewhat remarkable. It appears that as
a Mr. Taylor was engaged sawing the timbers
for a boat, out of an <>ak root his saw struck
some hard substance, which, upon being punch
ed out and examined, was found to be a dia
mond of the size of a black eyed pea—shortly
after a smaller one was also found iri the same
root. The teeth of both saws were knocked
out by the contact.
The oak tree to which this root belonged
was probably a hundred arid fifty years old, and
was growing a few weeks ago in the ground
bordering upon a swamp upon Mr. H.'s [dace.
These diamonds were in shape octahedron, as i
most diamonds are in their natural state—of!
course they cut glass finely and were transit)- :
cid, apparently of'the first water. When found j
they were imbedded two or three inches from ■
the surface of the root, causing a defect in the
wood of it for some distance around. Can any
one state another instance of a diamond being
found as these were, buried in a root beneath
the ground, probably for nearly a hundred and
fifty years?
It will be remembered that about a year ago,
a laboier, while digging in the streets of Man
chester, just opposite Richmond, discovered a
diamond a few feet below the surface of the
earth, which proved to be one of enormous size,
and \vas valued at some four or five thousand
dolijrs. Connect the recent discovery with
the one of last year, and it would seem that
there are many of these precious stones imbed
ded in the soil of old Virginia.— Petersburg

We learn from Leonard's Worcester Express,
that about 9£ o'clock this forenoon, fire broke
out in the basement of the large five story fac
tory building in CordaviMe, Southboro, ami that
as the train from Worcester passed the spot a
few minutes after lt> o'clock, the ruol aud a
portion of the walls of the building-bad fallen
in, and the whole structure was a mass of burn
ing and smouldering ruins.
The factory building was over one hundred
feet in length, and about fifty in width, live sto
ries in height, and was owned hv M. H. San
ford, Esq., and occupied by the Coriiaville Man
ufacturing Company.
The flames communicated with a saw mill,
dry house, and other buildings, ali of which
were destroyed, and the depot building on the
j Worcester Railroad was in imminent danger of
sharing the same fate at the time the train pass
ed.
The saddest part of the story is, that in their
fright, alter the alarm of fire was given, some
J of the operatives in the factory leaped from the
tipper windows, and at least, three of the num
ber were killed almost instantly, while several
others had their iimls fractured, and were oth
erwise injured.
Upon the train reaching Framingham, infor
mation of the calamity was given, and two phy
sicians immediately left for the scene ol the
melancholy catastrophe.

.
W iiilt* iie was stumping Western Virginia
last Spring, he was one day much annoyed by
a couple ut "fast" young men, disciples of the
invisible "Sam," who, by their conduct, plainly
showed their determination to neither imai him
themselves, nor allow anybody else. Wise sub
mitted to the annoyance until forbearance c< us
ed to be a virtue, and then pausing in Ins
speech and turning to the youthful "Sams," he
pointed his long, skinny finger, it In, Randolph,
at them, and said : ••Young men, I am to be

yon will have to Serve your time." He wasn't
interrupted again in that quarter.

"Did you shoot at me?" asked the Ger

"Yes," replied the other party ; "that's my

"You uiu>t be mistaken," savs the German :
"I have owned the horse for three years."
