THE BEDFORD GAZETTE. | Bedford, .lan. 13, I*6o. B. F. Meyers, Editor. ' tiOVERXOR'S >iCSSAGE. We publish in this issue, in a condensed form, the able and interesting Message of-Gov ernor Packer. We would gladly have publish ed the whole of it, word (or word, but coming j immediately upon the heels of the President's < Message, we would have been doing injustice to our readers and patrons, had we iuserted it entire to the exclusion of the matter crowded out iast week. To make amends, however, we j will here give a synopsis of those portions olthe j Message omitted on our first page. The Governor refers, at some length, to the! condition of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad i Company, which, as will be remembered, be- j came the purchaser of the State Canals. He j says: "Interested, as the Commonwealth is, in the early completion ofthis important thorough- ' fare, (the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road) it affords me great pleasure to be able to inform the Gen eral Assembly, that the progress of the work for the past year has been highly satisfactory. " , The Eastern division of the road has been com- j pieted from Sunbury to Whetham, a distance of; 81 miles. The Western division has been fin-i ished from Erie to Wairen, a distance of 66 | miles. There remain but 45 miles more to be graded. In the opinion of the Governor, the whole road will be finished in the cottrse of an other year. The operation of the Common School system is also made the subject ola considerable por tion of the Message. The number of pupils in all the public schools of the State, is 634,651; of schools, 11,485, and of teachers 14,071. The schools have been in operation on an av- i erage over the whole State, five months and ' nine days. The average salary of male teach- j ers is $24,36, and of female teachers, $17,79, j and the costol instruction per pupil, filty ihree i cents, per month. The average tax for tuition .'sabout five and a half mills, and for building purposes, about three and one sixth milis, on the dollar. The whole expense of the system in the State for the year, was, $2,579,075. 77. The i Farmers' High School is also recommended to the care and protection of the Legislature. Siuce the present Librarian has bad charge of the State Library, it has nearly doubled the number of its volumes. It is now the largest 1 State Library in the Union, with the single ex ception of that of New York. The number of volumes has reached 22,000. The editor of the j Colonial Records and Pennsylvania Archives, has prepared a copious index to the whole work, and the Governor recommends that a suitable sum be paid him for his labors. We direct the special attention of our readers, I to the remarks of the Governor concerning the banking system, the tonnage tax, the tariff laws i and the Insurrection at Harper's Ferry. They will be found suggestive and interesting. We I must say, in conclusion, thai trie present is oy i far the best of all Governor Packer's messages, and especially do we commend its doctrines to that portion of the Opposition press, which last year was so loud in its praises of the Governor. ' You had better "take it all back," now, gentle men, and acknowledge that you were fooled. Freedom-shrieking beiow par. A little while ago the freedom of the negro was the principal, in fact the only, stock in trade of the "Opposition." It is so still in ; New York and New England, but in Penn sylvania, since the conservative sentiment of the people has manifested itself in the condemna- i tion cf John Brown and in demonstrations of friendship lor the South, necrophobia has subsi ded in a manner at once gratify ing an 1 astonish ing. The reason of this is not that the leaders ol the Opposition have yielded up one jot oi their deadly hate of our Southern fellow-citi zens, but simply because they are frightened to a temporary abandonment of their violent dcc 'rinrs. Should the tide of popular feeling in favor ofj the maintenance and preservation of the Union come Oan ebb, and should national and conservative men once more be lulled into security, they would at once resume their hypocritical pleas lor "freeoom" and re-com mence their snuffling and whining about slavery and tbeir insane and furious denunciation of the "slave-power." At present, however, the tricks of Abolitionism are decidedly unpopular in Pennsylvania, and the Opposition are com pelled to change their tactics. Hence we find articles like the following in such rank aati slavery journals as the Philadelphia Inquirer, in which our readers will observe,a repetition of the Fillmore game of 1856 is plainly foreshadowed : "Whoever gets the vote ot Pennsylvania in the coming contest must stand on the platform of protection and must be conservative and op posed,to the further agitation of purely section al topics. Pennsylvania is d'Sgusted with the course ot the present Adminsitiation, and will not suppoit any one standing on the platform of the present party in power. Her hope is that a conservative protectionist will be nominated by the combined Opposition, and such a man will receive her cordial support. It is haidlv probable that the platform to be adopted at Cbarleston will Le satisfactory, considering what that parly has done heretofore, and our only hope is from the Opposition. If the Oppo sition fail to give us such a candidate a s v -t can confidently support, it is quite likely that the vote of Pennsylvania will be given to a third candidate, who will be nominated ana supported by the combined conservatism of the .\orthern and Southern sections. 1 ' r Xr~At the recent election for President and Directors of the Bedford Railroad, the follow ing persons were chosen: Piesident, W. P. Scbeil; Directors, W. G. Moorhead, E. F. Gay, VV. T. Daugherty, K. L. Anderson, N. Lyo".s, I r. Jordan, S. L. Russell, V, Steckman ) Ja. Hums, John Sill, M. LuU and Jacob Reed'. Where the responsibility rests. On Saturday last a ballot was had lor Spea ker of the lower Houss of Congress, which re sulted as follows : Sherman, K., 103 Hamilton, D., 89 Gilmer. A., 14 Scattering, 5 On this ballot all the Democrats (with the ex ception of two anti-Lecomptonites, Adrain of N >w Jersey and Clarke of New York) votedYor Mr. Hamilton, showing the whole Democratic strength to be just 31. Th? whole vote polled was 211, consequently 120 of the members vo ting belonged to the Opposition, giving the lat ter a majority of 29 over the Democrats.— Now witu this overwhelming majority in their favor, why do not the Opposition organize the House '? The.e are 29 more Americans and Republicans than there are Democrats. How comes it, therefore, that those A.ueric ans and Republicans do not elect a Speaker ? The rea [ son is plain. They cannot agrpe. Though they fight under the same banner in Pennsylva nia and other States, yet these harmonious A tnericans and Republicans cannot assemble un. i der one flag when it comes to the distribution i* . r •of offices. Ah ! no, the spoils are a bone of : contention between these incoherent tactions, | and in their disagreement over them, they are ; determined to fight to ih? bitter end, no matter i hnv much the Government and those immedi ately dependent upon it may suffer. But let it be remembered that with them rests the re sponsibility for non-organization, for they have the majority and can electa Speaker whenever they choose to do it. Locf;' and Miscellaneous. —The dwelling-house of Mr. Jacob VVea i verling, four miles East of Bloody Run, in this | county, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday mor ning last. Mr. Weaver!ing 3ur-oeded in saving I the greater portion of his household furniture, | but the building was entirely consumed. T. tire originated in an out-house contiguous to the dwelling. On Tuesday of last week, the mill belonging to Mr. Daniel Tro3t!e of Harrison township, j (the same that was formerly owned by John ' Alsip, Esq., of this place) situated on Buffalo Run, was burned to the ground. It seems that j Mr. Trostle made up a "rousing" fire in the : mill-stove, and went up the race to cut ice.— | During his absence the building "caught" ; from the stove-pipe, wiiich was let out of the j side of the mill. Owing to the fact that the : walls were stuffed with shavings, (so we are ; informed) the fire was so rapid that but a single bag of flour could be saved. About four hun dred bushels of grain were destroyed. Mr. Trostle's loss is estimated at upwards of $lOOO . —The last number of the Chambersburg i Valley Spirit announces that Messrs. J. M. j Cooper and P. S. Dechert have sold the Spirit printing office to Messrs. J. Geo. Ripper and i Geo. H. Meugel, Mr. Cooper, however, re i maining itie eattor, assiatoa by Oi. •* "Local." The Valley Spirit is a real Hive newspaper and we always welcome its appear ance upon our table. We hope the retiring 1 proprietors may be a.i successful in the future as they have been iu the past, and that their good fortune may !

Mr. Scbaler will make an excellent officer. Major Davis, the late Treasu rer, discharged the duties of his office in a man | ner satisfactory to all concerned. He retires with clean hands and without bringing the : county several thousand dollars in debt to the i State, as some of his predecessors did. —The recent snow has almost entirely disappeared. The pavements and streets have i been ice-clad for the last week, and "many's j the slip," not "'twixt the cup and the lip," | but 'twixt the ground and the hip , that we have had since the commencement of the snow, —The Opposition have large majorities in j both branches of our Slate Legislature, and will i have everything their own way in that bodv. We shall se whether they will redeem their promises of legislating for "better times." We shall see, too, whether they will repeal the Extra Fay law,at which th"y always preteQd to be so indignant just before the election. —The Slate Treasurer of the Statu of Maine ! has become a defaulter. He is a good Black- Republican, one of the regular New England stripe. He was' x a preacher, too, and a great Temperance man. His failings, however, did not "lean to \ i iue's side." fie is the si.ond Black Republican State Treasurer that has "gone to sticks" within the last few years.— The other one referred to, was W. H. Gibson, of Ohio, who made a "Fremont and Freedom" speech in th is place, j n J8")6. How honest th- se pious "Republicans" are ! We would like it il the editor of the Cam den Democrat , would inform us whether italics are scarce in his office, or whether it is a rule in to copy editorials from other papers without the proper credit. "How the Oppo sition govern," appeared originally in this pa ■ per. j —The Washington Examiner, the old organ , .if the Washington county Democracy, has i changed owners in part, Thos. W.

If he is anxious to "measure" hams (not swords) we refer him to Judge No ble, who will cheerfully attend to his wishes. We hope his big hogs are not all gammon. —We refer our readers to the article in an other column headed "Next Governor." John L. Dawson would make a good candidate, but a better Governor. We know of no man in whose hands we would rather trust the aflairs of the Commonwealth. [From the Harrisbtirg Union.) Ail luticx of Public Opinion Below we publish a letter to the editor of th Pennsylvania from the pen of i promi nent citizen of Philadelphia.

The 15road Top Coal SScjgioia- The Broad Top Coal Region, si uale in Hun tingdon and Bedford counties, occupies a pecu liar position amongst the Coal Fieds of Penn sylvania. Standing midway bet wen the An ihracite coal fields of the North fist, and the great Bituminous Coal Region of tie South West its coal possesses to a considerable degree the qualities ot both : it is therefore classified as a true semi-bituminous coal, the higlest character it could have as a tuel for generaing steam.— fhe.area of this coal field has bam variously estimated, ranging from lbrty to ?ighty square miles. The aggregate thickness d its workable beds, opened to I' is date, is 21 feck The con struction of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Raihoad was mainly intended to develop the Coal Region. The line of Rail irad begins at Huntingdon (where it connects wih the Penn sylvania Rail Road and Canal) and follows up the valley west of the Raystown Irarich of the Juniata, until it reachesStonerstovn and Sax ton, where it crosses this river andis traced a long its eastern side to its terminusat Hopewell The coal field is trenched transversely to iti base, bv three streams, (tributariesto the Jui).- ata.) exposing along their slopps'be outcropsbf the coal seams, and on which the col; ierie-i Jre located. The three branefms of the Rail R&d are constructed up the valleys o these stream, connecting with the main roid rt Sax'on, fiid delsburg, and Hopewell, over which the nal is carri-'d to Huntingdon, where it is delivered upon the Pennsylvania Rail iioad track or dumped over the chutes ir.to the canal boat. The steady increase of the shipments ofcoal from this Region since its int'oduction into market in 1856, and especially during the past two years of general business prostration, iem onstrates the fact, that for the purpose to which it is adapted, it lias no equal now in rur ket. Wherever it has been fairly testei for generating steam, in Locomotive, Marint, or Stationary Engines, or used in Rolling (.Ills, Puddles, Furnaces, Forge fires, fkc.., &.c., Voiol only stisUi..s its high character, hut invamly adds new orders to the business of the Regjn, from the time of such trials. This result ag'es with the experiment made by Professor Rotrs. (See second vol. of Report, Page 1006.) W?n ascertaining the "requisites for a good coalor steam," h" remarks, "The numerical aggreges denoting tiie rank of the anthracites, the Se,- bituminous coals, and the full bituminous cos, are respectively expressed by 33-19.8, 349(4, and 3462.3 pounds ot water evaporated eii hour on each square toot of furnace by each •- bic fooi ot broken coal. It thus appears that e semibituminous coals surpass somewhat fc bituminous, and that these excel the ?■ thrarites." The great care taken in mining the Rrd Top coal, its exemptness from sulphur al other impurities, renders it pre-eminently ti coal, for the purposes enumerated. Tire annual shipments from this Region sin its opening are as follows : 1856, 42,000 tons. 1857, 78,813 " 1858, 105,478 1859, 130,595 ' (4 Total 356,886 " The following table will show the collier statistics in detail : STATEJIEiVT exhibit ir>g the amount of' coal mined and sent to market m 1859, from | collieries in the Broad Top Semi-bituminous coal region, with present facilities and esti mated capacity tor 1860. ...

Notwithstanding the Democratic State Con vention will assemble in less than two months from this time, we hea- but comparatively little said as to who is to be our standard-bearer lor Governor. This we do not consider a bad o men, indicating, as we think it does, the true Democratic spirit of abstaining from too much j personal feehng, and foreshadowing a determi ! natlon Curdial, y acquiescing in the nomina tion. fVe have, however, "been gratified in observing m various sections of our State, an earnest sentiment in favor of the Hon. JOHN L. DAWSON, of this county, as the Democratic can didate We are well aware of Mr DAWSON'S disinclination to again entering the field of pub lie hie, hut we regard him as eminently the man for the times, anJ sincerely hope that ex isting exigencies may induce turn to forego, at least for a season, his fondness for private life and pursuits and consent to the use of his name in connection svith the gubernatorial canvass. Ye must have a strong man, in every sense of the term, as the Democratic candidate for Governor, in as much as on his success may de pend the result of the Presidential election. We know ol no man within the broad limits of Pennsylvania who would make a better can didate or a better Governor than JOHN L DAW SON. He has, first, the local popularity which is essential to an acceptable candidate. As proof ol this we need only refer to his vote when elected to Congress. When he beat the Hon. A- J. Ogle, a very popular man in this district, his majority in this county was over NINE HUN DRED—the average Democratic majority bein- i only five hundred. At his second election to Congress his majority in this county was over I ONE THOUSAND, when his competitor was John L.. bow, Esq., one of the most accomplished genllamen in the State. This was saying "well ' ■ done, thou good and faithful servant," in Urms I ! that could not be misunderstood or mismterpre j ted. 1 In addition to bis home popularity, Mr. DAWSON has the character, talenis, and person al address to secure the respect of ihe opposi tion, and excite the enthusiasm of the Democ racy, wherever he may go in the capacity of a candidate. J t has become a fixed usage forthe candidates for Governor to take the stump. Mr. Dawson is admirably qualified lor this duty, fie has a tine personal appearance} a bold, original, and convincing eloquence; a 'quickness in debate, and a model courtesy and dignity ot deport menl, which render him at once a popular and effec tive speaker. His eloquent speeches, and efforts otherwise, when m Congress, in support ot the Homestead bill, have given him a strong hold upon the affections oi the masses, whicfAvould tell largely in his favor in a warm political con test. It really appears- to us, all things con sidered, that Mr. DAWSON is the strongest man that could be started for Governor. His record is all right; his character is all right; his talents are. all right; arid in short, there is nothing lack ing, but every tiling centered in hirn to make a successful candidate, and an excellent Gover nor. Dor the good of the party, then if lor nothing else, we hope to see him nominated. Should he con-erf to be a candidate, and should the State ( on vent ion give hirn the nomination, the Pennsylvania Democrats will demolish the cohorts of Abolitionism, and gain a victory the glory of which will last forever.— Genius of Liberty. A FNRILLING SCENE— A SKIFF WITH TEN PERSONS SWEPT AWAY BY ICE —Un Monday e vening nine men and a female attempted to cross the Ohio river, at Cincinnati, in a skiff, notwithstanding they were warned of the cenl on account ot the heavy floating ice. ihe Enquirer thus describes venture, the res cue ot nine of thern, and the deal!) ot toe other: "When in the neighborhood of the abutment to the suspension bridge the skiff was struck by some heavy ice, arid in a moment more firmly fastened in a gorge. The tow locks and oars were covered with ice, which prevented them tram b"ing used to much purpose, and theoccu ! pants of the skiff were so paralyzed by a sudden . I fear that they could do nothing to relieve tiiein i selves from their dangerous condition. "Meantime the boat, which was nut yet far out in the stream, was slowly but surelv drif ting down. A few persons who had watched ihe penious adventure from the ferry float be low endeavored to arrest the boat as it swept by, and partially succeeded in doing so. Seven of the men and the woman were rescued with considerable difficulty. The ninth man, (the woman's husband,) in endeavoiing to gain the float, lei! back in the river and disappeared from view, amid the almost heart-rending screams ot his almost distracted wife. A mo ment alter, however, he appeared on the sur face, struggling manfully for lite. The cur j rent was strong and the fee sharp and cutting, but, being an expert swimmer, he kept himself j above water, ard succeeded in making a land j ''ig near toe foul of Western Row, about four ; squares further down. As might be supposed, j he was almost exhausted on reaching the shore, | and had he remained in the river five minutes i longer he wooid ceitainly have p-rished. The joy ot that w:fe, on seeing her husband, who, a ■ moment before, had been struggling in the jaws of death, can be more easily imagined than de scribed. "Before the last man in the skiff could be res cued it broke loose Iroin its fastening and was rapidly swept away wnh its solitary occupant. I he rwnr fclJow uttered no cry —gave no siumai of distress—made no eff irt to extricate himself from what seemed inevitable death. The sight of his companion struggling in the chilly waves, the crashing sound oi the ice—the biting tem- j perature of the atmosphere—the bleak wintry sky oveibead, studded with stars, which, j 'Like the eyes of wolves, glared ai him, 1 seemed to have on him an overpowering effect. Motionless as a statute he stood, with folded . arms, looking at the dim outline of the shore as it slowly receded from view, and taking what he believed to be a last view ot earth. On, on i he was swept by the resistless curient, ln> con dition every moment becoming more and more critical. Along he moved d wn 'he ua.k riv er—to him, perhaps, the river ol death—which ! er morning might empty into that unknown sea that washes the bouu.iaties of another! world." The Pennsylvania republican mmbers of! Congress, wincing under the wtll-deserved! exposures and lashings of the Democracy, seein i to be fairly rebelling against Sewardism. Mr.; Kiliinger declared that his party ignored the" negro and demand n d protection to home indus try ; but how will the New York Evening Post like this doctrine ? How will the free trade West like it ? How would the New England woollen manufacturers, even, like to (ail back on a protective duty on wool ? Mr. Kiliinger avowed that tvventv-two out of twen ty-five members from his' State owed their their election to their advocacy of protection principles, and arraigned 'he late republican fall because it ignored protection ! and he said the Pennsylvania republicans actually repudia te t and spit upon the free-trade doctrines of the Mew York Evening Post. But this Kil iinger is a mere man of straw ; for democratic cross-questioning elicited the answer that if Seward were put in nomination he would vote tor him What a queer sort of a Union man ! —Boston Post.
