The Condition of the Nation.
It is now nearly seven months since the pres
ent unfortunate civil war was inaugurated, and
t: public mind is beginning to look with inters
: xiety for the dawning light o< peace and re
union. Seven months will soon have passed
J ay since the fail of Sumter, and yet we are
? li in the midst of the impenetrable gloom
- .rich has shrouded our land since il, ■ <iicr.e
I establishment of a poli-ical pssfv founded up—
n a sectional basis. Bloodshed has filled to
cool the hatred engendered between those who
nee were, and ought now to be, brothers.—
f'he sharp edge of the swerd I is not availed

roubles. The deep-toned thind r f ihe can
non has reverberated in vain. The fate of th-
Union is still enveloped in dcubf and , our spec
ulations upon the probable issue of the conflict
n eod in only vague conjecture and doubtful
pes or Uncertaint fears. When the- war broke
t. those who were enthusiastic in favor of co
"ion, as ured us that Ihe conflict would not
t over three months ; that'he Seceded States
:id not resist our armies, and would not if
.' were able ; that there were Union men in
V one of t' s Males who would rise a

s: ii.e rebellious j>. p'e of the S dh would

•us who held these views, been disappoin'e.i I

'..laliwedot For the piesent the people are
powerless. They can do nothing to stem the
ody tide that is rolling over the land. The
nt tht-y can do, is to aid the Government in
' .king a speedy list of the policy it has adopt
. No matter if thai policy was settled upon
spite of our warning and advice ; no matter
or not, in our opinion, it is the proper
temedy for the national disease : since we could
no! prevent it, let us assist the Government in
iving it a fair and thorough, but not persistent
r reckless trial. If after such a trial (which
t our opinion must be fairly rnaiVin the mxt
s:x months) it should tail, then let us endeavor
.) change the course of the Government.by ap
-aling to the people in the election of repre
entatives in Congress. This we deem to be
:he { roper line of conduct; in fact, we cannot
e what else could be done in the present pos
ure of public affairs. Therefore, as we can on
ly hope and wait, let us hope cheerfully and
wait patiently.

Local and Miscellaneous.
. .. .Bedford ane its prospects for rail- j
road connection with the East and West, j
We find the following, which was embraced [
in separate articles, in a late nnmber otthe 1
••United States Railroad and Mining Reg later:" ■
This road {the Bedford Railroad) begins at j
Hopewell, where the Huntingdon and Broad J
Top Railroad terminates, 3t miles from the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Huntingdon, and
ends at Bedford, '2O miles from Hopewell and
51 miles from Huntingdon. About 9 miles,
of the Bedford Railioad "are graded ; these 9
miles are to be trimmed up and three addition
al miles are to be graded inside of 90 days: so
that the superstructure can be put down on 12
miles, and the road opened that distance by the ,
Ist of Febuarv nest. These 12 miles will car- j
ry the rail line from Huntingdon to one mile j
west of Bloody Run and within 8 miles ol Bed- ]
lord; as B-dford is the s.at of jusiice of an j
old county, and a fashionable watering-place
be: i ies, ways and means will doubtless he de
cis *(J to extend the rail line to that ancient
B irougli.
From Bedford west, auother link twenty
two miles long, will carry a rail line to the ex
treme northeastern angle ol the Pittsburg and
Connellsville Raihoad at Will's Creek, where
vii Bedford there would be established be
i ween Huntingdon on the Juniata and Cumbcr
land on the Potomac, a direct and continuous
iail communication. And all this {and more)
will be compassed, we have no doubt, before
Bed fold is content, for it is a laudable ambi
tion in a county town to strive alter railroad
facilities.
That portion of the Bedford road row soon
to Ire put into oppeiation, runs through an
iron region celebrated for hematite and fossil
ores, which it is said abound near the line of
the roel; hi herl ) these ores have been haul
eit ij L-.i i"id Bedford firges, a distance of
12 mile,.
]> .1 oii, it to us, may yet succeed in
making ci■-r1 fa point on a South Pennsyl
vania rail route between Hirrisburg and Whee
ing: indeed this she will accomplish via Hun
tingdon and Cumberland so soon as the dista"ce
between Blood) Run and Wills' Creek i.. cov
ered with iron rails; but a more direct route,
and the one to which we more particularly al
lude, will be eecured by a connection of'the
Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad with the
Cumberland Valley Railroad; and the former
of these two roads with the Hempfieid road,
now i:i use from Wheeling to Washington.
Wheeling is the capital of the new Mate of
Kanawha: and the Pan Handle and Cape 11-v,-
5V extremities of old Virginia are certainly
very far apart in the war for a boundary line.
In truth, it is not probable that Wheeling and
will verv soon a<*ain enr' 1
selves constituent parts of one Commonwealth;
bence Wheeling, since her interests are now
cast with Pennsylvania, wiii naturally urge
the construction of such links of iron line as
will give her communication with the sea
board cities noith of the Chesapeake; and as
the interests of the counties of Southwestern
[ Pennsylvania in this matter are identical with
the interests of Wheeling, it will he strange in
i deed if, in the progress of events and in the
; fluctuations in the tide of circumstances, "sorne
i thing" does not "turn up" which will serve as
• a basis for operations in a plan for a South
Pennsylvania Railroad from Harrisbuig to
! Wheeling, via the valley of Cumberland and of
j the Youghiogheny. Or, if this involve too
j large an outlay, then \ia Huntingdon, Bedford
j Bridgeport, Connelisville and Washington.
; We confess a belief that close upon the comple
i lion of the Pittsburg and Connellsville road to
Will's Creek, will follow the construction of a
1 connecting link between it and, some one of
the roads now terminating in the Pennsylva
nia Railroad.
Ot the I 3tli October, instnnt, trains began 1
to run on the Pittsburg anrl Connellsville Rail- ;
aoad irom tiie corner of Ross and Breckinridge !
streets, Pittsburg, over eleven miles of new
road opened to Brinton's at Turtle Creek, i
where hitherto, the Pittsburg and Connells- j
ville Railroad terminated in connection witn 1
the Pennsylvania Railroad. From Pittsourg
to Connellsville the distance is 29 miles, and
between these points the road is now operated
without using any portion of the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
On the road between Connellsville and Cum
berland ,91 miles, wo'k was suspended in
October, 1857, and has not since been lesum
ed. Th.rty-three miles west of Cumbetland
is the Sand Patch tunnel 4,650 feet lons, on
which $200,000 have been expended in driv
ing ttie tunnel-heading, which is within 260
feet ot completion. Prom Biidgepoit at the
mouth of Lr.'le Will's Creek, on the Pitts
burg and C nnelßvilte Railroad, 12 miles Irom
Cumberland, t rea l will doubtless be made to
if dl ud, ' ich i; only 22 miles distant from
Pndg. , >•■ Hi- distance from the Pennsyl
vania Raihuad at Huntingdon to the Puts
burg and Connellsville Railroad at Bridgrport,
i73 miles ; from Huntingdon to Cumberland,
via Bedford and Bridgeport, the distance is 85
miles.
... .The next House of Representatives will
consist of 43 Straight Democrats, 39 Straight
Republicans, 10 Democrats elected on Union
Tickets and 8 Republicans elected on Union
tickets. Tne Senate wall consist of 10 Dem
ocrats and 23 Republicans, the Democrats hav
ing elected Bof the 11 chosen at the late e-
Jectson,
.... We are requested to state that the " All
Hazard Boys," of Rainsburg,Capt. A. Compher,
will leave that place for Camp Curtin, on Tues
day next, the 29th inst. This is said to be a
very fine company.
. .. .Queer —politics in Somerset county.—
Morgan's gho3t carried the county once, and
the cancer in Dave Wilmot's stomach had a
majority of 1200 there this year.
Reported specially for the Bedford Gazette.
Secession of Sprinkles!)urg -State- j
nient of Grievances-
Mr. Editor:—
Allow us through your paper to ;
publish *o all the world and the '-rest of man
kind," that we have "seceded" from the gov- ,
eminent ot the State ol Pennsylvania, and that
of the county of Bedford, and are about estab- i
I idling a "confederacy" congenial to humanity
and right. A decent respect tn r the opinions
ol mankind, requires that we should declare
the causes which have impelled us lo separa
tion Irovn the above named political bodies.
They are as follows:
Thev refused to give us some ot the State
"stealings," so that we could enlarge our town
and build everv politician a private residence.
They have wilfully kept capital out of our
town, by appointing our townsmen to positions
where there was no chance of stealing.
They never gave us a Goveinor, notwith
standing we have any number of men who
are as superior to the pusillanimous scoundrel
who now fills that post, as the bright refulgent
lays of the sun are to Hie miserable glimmer ol
a tallow candle.
Ditto, ditto, ditto, as to Congressmen, Leg
islators and other important offices.
They have refused to open the slack water
navigation or. the "blue Juniata," and to run
j the new rail-road to our town,
i They have conspired against our town gen
; eraliy.
They have compelled us to pay, yar after
1 yea**, our shaie of the State and County taxes,
I and will be very apt to do so again.
They inveigled one of our representatives
i iut Y voting for the repeal of the Tonnage Tax,
whereby he was politically "knocked in the
i head;"and then allowed tk u Centra! Road to
| '
i cheat us out of our portion ot the "proceeds.'*
They have appointed prominent politicians
j of tbis county, to fat offices, where th*re is a
' good opportunity of picking up "crumbs;" thus
;> assuring the citizens of this commonwealth 'hat
i th-y are to be rifled completely.
They have allowed that arch-corruptionist,
Ah x. McClure, to make a Congressional Dis
luct for his own individual use.
They have hitched us to Somerset on the
Legislative question, so that no honest man
can have the shadow of a chance of being
elected. They have also put u in the same
Congressional district with that county.
They have allowed the Central Rail-Road,
which is now fast monopolizing the State leg
islation, to lun so far north of us, that it is of
no pi act ica! benefit to us whatever.
T hey are going to allow a man to repiesent
the people of this county in the next Legisla
ture. who was not elected by* said people, hav
i t;r bee a repudiated to (tie tune of over a thou
caoci votrS.
Tney have refused our county, one of the
ol:est in the commonwealth, a representation
in the Legislature, by a man of her own choice,
by hooking us to the Black-Republican-ridden
county of Somerset.
this was unconstitutional, unwise and un
called for.
These are but a small portion of our griev
ances, but they are enough to justify us in tak
ing this momentous step. In vain have we re
reinonstrated fiom lime to time. With pa
tience have we endured all the ills that have
been piled upon us, until the "milk of human
kindness" has dried up in our bosoms, and we
are made to exclaim, in the tragical language
of Shakspeare, "Hold, enough!" We have
been patient, but now we are indignant. We
have be-m slaves to a horde of p.-tty politicians
long enough; and no"', we rrwan to be free and
independent. We wont be coerced either.
If our grievances are redressed, or our inde
pendence acknowledged, then, all right; if not
we'll
"Cry havoc, and let slip Ihe dogs of war."
Armed with justice and a bundle ot knitting
needles, we bid the hireling tools of a corrupt
State Government defiance. We are firm and
decided, and will fight desperately. The
whole community is firm, extending down i
to women and children and old pine log>.
Companies of two-forty men are being organ- I
ized in every ward. Our Hag—wildcat ram- ;
pant, fnuskrat couchant, on a field d'oyster
shell—floats from every corner. While we
write we hear the "clash of resounding arms," i
pioduced by a woman spanning iter chil i for
trailing a small specimen of our glorious flag in
the mud. The feeling is intense. Someofthe
ladies aie in arms! Look out! stand frcn under,
or the pillars of She great femple of Justice
will fall upon you!
N. B.— We are firmer still. Our neighbor
ing town has caught (lie spirit of the ag.-, anil
is going to cast her lot with us.
Liter—Seveial m-u Lave been seen riding
into town, with old guns, to have nr\v locks
put on, and one man had several 'Colts" witli
him. Our cause is looking up. We are fiim.
P. S. —lf any desire to join our noble cause,
we will say that we still want a lew able-bod
ied men and horse?. Come, and we'll make
Brigadier-geneiaLs of all of you.

WAR SEWS.
THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
MOVEMENTS OF TUE CONFEDERATES.
The Louisville journals say i*. is ditficull to
oet reliable news of the war doings in that
State. The Journal, however, has the follow- j
ing news from headquarters:
A gentleman direct trom Rowling Green,
says that when he left there John C. Breckin
ridge was just getting 'tip to link** a speech..
He states also that Col. Hardee, lately HI com
mand in Arkansas and Missouri, fad joined
I Buckner with his Hoops, and that Buckler's
I numbers were now from twenty-five to thirty :
thousand. Another gentleman, just from Bow
ling Green, eitimates Buckner's force at twen
ty-five thousand.
It is very difficult to decide what should be
believed. II troops from Missouri aie pouring
into Kentucky, the fact would seem to indi
cate that the Confederates intend for the pre-
I sen', to give Missouri up to Fremont. Sup—
I posing the statements we have received to be
correct, the enemy has now nearly SO,OOO
men upon Kentucky soil, and the number will
uo doubt be soon increased, unless Genera!
Fremont shall speedily start upon bis great ex
. pedition down the Mississippi.
A Mississippi officer at Bowling Green says
f 'hat the Confederates have at no time had any
other thought than to make Kentucky the main
j theatre of the war.
THE OUTRAGES OF GEN. LANE.
The St. Louis Republican (Union paper) ol
Tuesday says:
In regard lo the course of Lane arid fn
band ot vagabond?, nnfurtunatelv mustered into
the service of ihe United State*, and thereby
having a show of authority for the-ir acts of op
pression aijji theft, we have from another
source the most lamentable accounts. His
course, and that of the men attached to his
! command, has been one of undisguised robbery,
plunder and outrage, not confined to secession
| ist., but extending to Union men all along the
Kansas border. In all cases, ne has authorized
and justified his men in running off whole plan
tations of slaves, and compelling them to go
when they were unwilling to UJ so. We are
j pleal-'d to know thai a true representation of
the outiages committed by this man upon ihe
: loyal as well as disloyal citizens ol the border
counties has been made to Secrefary Cameron,
now in this city, and sent to Washington, and
w> hope \hat he will De driven m disgrace from
j the aimy, and his regiment of jayhawkers dis
j handed.
Gen. Cameron has sjnee given orii-rs to
stop the outrage* alluded to.
A FIGHT NEAR LEESBURG.
REPULSE OF FEDERAL TROOPS.
Col. Baker, of the California Brigade, Killed.
I WASHINGTON, October 21. Gen. Stone
' crowed the Potomac this morning, with one
portion ot his command at Edward's Ferry,
and another at Harrison's Island. Skirmish
j ing began oetween the enemy in uncertain
: 1iun.t..... on.l
;as early as 9 o'clock in the afternoon, when
| large reinforcements of the enemy appeared on
jour right, which wa3 commanded bv Col. Ba
-1 ker.
Tiie Union forces engaged were only about
1,800, and were attacked by a forcf-npposed
to be from five to ten thousand. At this-junc
tor" Col. Baker fell at the head of his brigade,
gal'antly cheering on his men to the conflict.
Immediately before he fell he dispatched Ma
jor Young to Gen. Stone to apprise him ot
the condition ot affairs, and Gm. Stone imme
diately proceeded in pers>n tow a ids the right
to lake command, but in the confusion c.<aiei:
bv the fall of Col. Baker, the right wing sus
tained a repulse, witli considerable loss.
Gen. Stone says that the left wing retired in
good Older. He will hold possession ol Har
rison Island and the approaches thereto.—
Strong reinforcements will be sent forward to
Gen. Stone du.inz the night.
The remains ol Coi. Baker were removed
to Poolesville, and will be brought to this city
on Wednesday.
THE CHEMISTRY OF MSDIOINE. —Among the
special delights which have so rich'v repaid
our visit to New England was the inspection,
It was our privilege to make, of Dr J. C. Ayer
tk Co.'s Laboratory, at Lowell. Although we
knew by hear-say, that it was large, jet we
were surprised when we came into view of its
real magnitud", anf | s till more by the extent
anu complication of its truly immense business.
The whole massive stiucture i 9 in fact one
vast chemical laboratory, in which the proces
ses of this wonderful art are constantly going
on. Medico-chemical science has found that
the curative properties of any substance exist
in someone or more ol its component par's.
Thus the remedial effects of opium are due sole
ly to the morphia it contains, although this is
but one-eighteenth pari of its weight; the ot ti
er seventeen parts are gum, extractive and in
ert or offensive matter. Dr. Ayer's system
separates the radical properties of each sub
stance employed and we are here shown the
processes by which the virtues of each reme
dial agent are chased through the aiembics un
til lh--y come out completely puie at last,
fhese concent rated, purified medical proper
ties, oi finally combined together
tp produce tberemeJi.s which liaveinatie them
selves a reputation for unrivalled excellence,
ail over the world. Not only does the Doctor
disclaim - all secrecy in his art and explain
i every process and every particular, but he
| maintains that this is the only process by which
| the people can be supplied with the best pos
| stble remedies lor the treatment of disease.—
I The formula by which his remedies are made
