BEDFORD GAZETTE. I B. F. MEYERS, EDITOR. FRIDAY, ::::::: MARCH 28. 1862. McCLELLAN MEETING. The citizens of Bedford and vicinity who feel that the attacks Upon General McClellan by the Abolitionists and other fanatics are not only do ing that gallant officer great injustice, but are thereby impairing the efficiency of our arms in the work of vindicating the Constitution and restoring the Union, arc hereby requested to meet at the Court House, in Bedford, on SAT URDAY EVENING next, 29th ir.st., for the purpose of expressing their approbation of Gen. McCielhtn's policy and conduct of the war, and giving expression tc their disapprobation of the course of his opponents. MANY UNION MEN. March 27, 1862. MR. SHANNON'S VINDICATION. The Republican caucus which nominated the Borough ticket of that party, bowing to the dic tation of a few political leaders, repudiated the compromise offered by the Democrats in regard to the election of School Directors and attempt ed to brand Mr. Shannon, one of the Democrat ic nominees, with the crime of treason to the Government. Upon this shameful conduct of these embittered partizans, the people have pass ed their verdict, and O. E. Shannon, the ••dis loyal," is elected School Director by 46 majority over one and 42 over the other of his Republi can "loyal" opponents. This is Mr. Shannon's vindication. Complete, is it not : The State Senate and Wendell Phillips. The Senate of Pennsylvania is composed of 10 Democrat:- and 23 Republicans, giving the latter unlimited and unrestrained power in all matters of pariizanship and political division. A few days ago, the "graveand reverend seign iors" composing the Republican majority of this once dignified and respectable body, voted the use of the Senate Chamber to the notorious Abolition Disunior.ist and New England Trait or, WENDELL PHILLIPS, who proposed to deliv er a harangue against "the re-union with slave- boilers" for which brave Northerners are every day pouring out their life-blood, on the field of battle. This wicked and infatuated partizan majority, does not scruple to take to its embra ces au original, straight-out Disunionist, who said but a few days ago, that he had often cursed the Constitution and had "labored nine teen years to take nineteen states out of this Union," and who declares that he would rath er that the National Capitol had been "shelled to ashes last July,*" than that the Un'on should be restored with slavery where it cxi-ted ante rior to the rebellion. Treason rank as that of Arnold, is a sweet-smelling savor to the Repub licans of the Senate, when it is the work of an Abolitionist. Yet the patriots jiar excellence who constitute that body, are. among the Jacobins —nay, some of them were leaders of the bloody crew, who demanded the lives, and gave to the flames the property, of Democrats who oppos ed the present civil war in its earliest inception. Never, in all the history of parties, was there such blind and bigote 1 zealotry as that exhibi ted by this Senatorial band of Republican con spirators. From the least unto the greatest (if there can be any one greater than another where ail are infinitcsimaliy mall). From the reverend demagogue from Bradford to the red and ruffled monomaniac from Erie, they are all a sot of illiberal, ungenerous, narrow-min ded, self-conceited, negro-loving, plunder-shar ing haters of Democrats, who stop at nothing (but their own pockets) to defraud their politi cal opponents of their rights, to elevate bad men of their own faith to office, and to persecute and outrage those who differ from them in o pinion. No Democrat ever uttered any such sentiments as those lately expressed by the area-traitor Phillips, and yet the latter is al lowed to roam over the country ad libitum, to sow the seeds of his abominable treason, and is hugged and caressed by the Republican leaders as though he were a very Rcveiator of the true .political gospel, whilst many of the former have been incarcerated in foul and health-destroy ing dungeons on the mere suspicion of Wing half as guilty as he. Oh! Justice, when will thy scales, so long inclined, lie equally poised ? When will the populace see in thy balances tho wheat weighing heavier than the chaff? Alas! alps! the "people doth not consider!" Democratic Victory in Harrisburg. The Democrats of Harrisburg won a splen did victory, on Friday hist. The Democratic -candidate for City Treasurer, John T. Wilson, was elected by a majority of 245! The Dem ocrats also elected five out of the six council men, carrying every ward except one, which gave about a dozen of a majority for the "Re publican" candidates. Good for the State Cap ital! Democratio Victory in York. The Democracy of the borough of York, a chieved a signal victory over Republicanism at the late spring eloction. David Small, Esq., the editor of that able and gallant Democratic jour nal, the York Gazette, was elected Burgess by a majority of G4. York borough has always here tofore boon strongly opposition. McClellan Meeting. The meeting called for the purpose of doing justice to the gallant commander of the Army |of the Potomac, the master spirit of the war i against the rebellion, assembled at the Court | House on Saturday evening last. DR. I*. C. | REAMER was chosen President; Samuel Von dcrsmitb and John A. Mo wry, Vice Presidents; and A. J. Sansom an 1 Thomas Jamison Secre taries. After some remarks by Messrs. W. I'. Sehc-li, G. 11. Spang and 8. 11. Tate, a motion was adopted authorizing the chair to appoint a committee of five to draft resolution expressive of the sense of the meeting. The chair ap pointed the following persons: 13. F. Meyers, Samuel Vondersmith, Jos. "\V. Tate, Jacob Reed, and Thomas Jamison. On motion, it was Ilesolt-ed that/the meeting adjourn to meet again on next Saturday evening and that the i committee on resolutions have time till then to I report. We hope tlia' there will be a good turn-out to the meeting on Saturday evening n~xt, and that the citizen- of Bedford will not be fearful or backward to express their admiration for and approval of the conduct of the gallant young General to whose skilful and wisely con certed plans we owe whatever of success we have achieved in the desperate struggle in which our government is at present engaged. car BURGLARY. —On Saturday evening last, the dwelling of Miss Ann Pierson, in the Wes tern part of town, was entered and the sum of one hundred and sixty dollars in money taken therefrom. We are told that the burglary was committed whilst Miss Pierson was visiting a neighbor's house, and whilst a light was burn ing in one of the rooms. This was certainly a bol l cxploi i. and shows that the daring and dash ing thieves arc not quite all in office at VV ash incrton or employed as Government contractors. OjT Advices from Fort Smith, Ark., confirm the tidings of the death of the Rebel Generals McCulloch, Mcintosh and Herbert at the recent battle of Pea Ridge. Gen. Slack, of the Miss ouri troops, was also mortally wounded. Old St. Clair. The whole Democratic ticket has been elected in St. Clair township. The conservative old line Whigs deserve great praise for their conduct at the late election, and whilst wc do not desire to "crow"' over the Fort Donelson defeat sus tained by the Republican nominees we arc thank ful xo all who have not heretofore voted the Democratic ticket in St. Clair, for the patriotic assistance they rendered the Democracy on this occasion. Wc eivc the vote in full below: Justice of the Peace, Jacob Walter, Dom., It'll Henry Ickes, Rep., 107 Constable, George Yeager, Dem., 145 Thomas \V*.

The entire Democratic ticket was elected in Bedford township, cn Friday last, with ti.e ex ception of the nominee for Constable, who was defeated by a small majority, by an independent candidate. The party majority, as shown by the following vote, is larger than we have ever known it to be at any previous Spring election: Constable, Beegle Dem., 122 Dibert, Ind., 140 Barnhart, Rep., 000 Jus trees of the Peace, Wisegarvcr, Dem., IG3 Koontz, Dem., 142 Cowan, R., 89 Wolf, 106 Judge, Heltzell, Dem., 157 Gephart, R., 109 Inspector, Holderbaum, Dem., 159 Keeffe, R., 106 Supervisor!, Gilson, Dem., 161 Fetter, Dem., 156 Dibert, R., 103 Naugie, It, 103 Assessor, Gephart, Dem., 156 Smith, R., 98 School Directors, Walter, Dem., 164 McGirr, Dem., 137 Weisel, R., 120 Phillips, It, 111 ft Auditor, Reighard, Dem., 157 Rca, R., 106 Toumshp Clerk, Brown, Dem.. 156 Barnhart, It, 106 Borough Election. The election on Friday last resulted in the sue- , cess of the whole Democratic Ticket, with the ! exception of the nominee for High Constable. ' who was defeated by James A. Henderson, he j (Hender-on) getting tl?c office annually as a pre cious gift from some thirty-rive good-natured Democrats who can't find it in their hearts to defeat the whole Republican ticket. l>ut the grand contest was for School Directors, the Re publican leaders straining every nerve to defeat Messrs. Shannon, Shoemaker and Biyinire, three of the Democratic candidates. Tlve triumph ant election of all the straight Democratic can didates for 'school Directors, is due to the good sense of 1 1 • eoplc of both parties of the bor ough, and is a, triumph indeed for those gentle men.

Bmnside to McClellan. lhe splendid achievements of Burnside are the theme of universal praise. In the midst of oar congratulations it is gratifying to the friends ot Gen. McClellan, as it is honorable to Gen. Burnside, that the latter thus ascribes the honor ot the plans to the young chief, and expresses his own pleasure that the military sagacity of bis commanding officer has been pro-ed by the results of his own brave fulfilment of instruc tions. Burnside says: "I beg to say to the General commanding that I have endeavored to carry out the rcrg rr.tnute instructions given me by him before leaving Annap olis, awl thus far events have b< cn singularly coin cvleni with his anticipations. I only hope that we may in future he able to carry out in detail the remaining plans of the campaign.—The only thing I have to regret is the delay caused by the elements." Frora the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Treason and Slander of Wendell Philips—A Picture for the Constituents of the Pennsylvania Senate. Encouragement and protection of free speech is certainly carried to a degree bordering upon folly m the grant of the use of the Senate Cham ber to WENDEI.I, PiriLEH S by the accommoda ting Senators of the State of Pennsylvania.— This mail is at be--t but on a par with BRKCK j ESUIDGE as an utteror of ''polished treason," | and why he should be petted, aided and comfort ed by the State Senate Of this Commonwealth j i a mystery to all but those, who know how tar | die blind infatuation of party will compel its Iso • ervient adherents to go. If a tithe of what ! ha been recently uttered by this itinerant mis chief maker had been spoken by any champion of' treason on the, opposite side, the whole tri'>e who follow, applaud and idolize Piiu.LU'a would clamor for the immediate incarceration of !:i --adversary in Fort Warren or Fort Lafayette. Yet we see a party majority in the Senate of our loyal and conservative Commonwealth patroni zing this preacher of discord and disunion. What is the probable character of his proposed speech in the Senate it i- very well the public should know, and we design to devote some space to their enlightenment. We have seen no full report of 1 ho recent ha rangue of PiULMiu in tills city, but the Tribune of March 18th furnishes a six column report of the speech he made in Washington on the previ otfn Friday, and from ibis we extract sufficient ;o show the people of this latitude what char acter of man and what quality of sentiment their Senators have taken under their encouragement, patronage and protection. What follows is quo ted from PIUI.UP-: j I love the Constitution, though my j "friend (Dr. Pn.iiloN:,) •ho sits beside me, lias i "heard me curse it a hundred times, and 1 shall "again if it does not mean justice. / have lahor "/ uiiiftr. n gears to take id Stales out of tins "l'nion, and if I Lave spent any nineteen years "to tire s"'o/c -ooii of my Puritan conscience, it "•was thonineteen gears." "I 11loss within twelve months or twenty-four, j "Maryland is a free State, Delaware and lia.lt 1 "Virginia, would to God that building (the Cap j "itoi,) with this <-ky of Washington, had been "'-helled to ashes last July." Speaking of the origin of the rebellion.

The brave and noble spirit who was the most conspicuous victim of the martyrdom : of Bait's Bluff—the most noble heart that was ; pierced in that terrible conflict—was that of on? jof these same "Quaker Generals." And his de vote friend and second in command who stood by a deserted gun to the last in that fierce death shower, an 1 who now carries his good right arm i disabled for lite, was another <>i these same I "Quakers," of whom I'MII.IJPS is encouraged by j tho Senate of Pennsylvania to speak with such j flippant eordcinpt.

Above all, what hittniiia ■ Mon is in the thought that a reckless party ma j jority in the Pennsylvania Senate should insult ! the people by lending their halls of legislation i to such a man for such a purpose. A Coufedernts Account of the Fight at Fort Donelson and oi' the Causes Which Led to it. The following in formation in regard to the surrender of Fort Donelson, is received from a correspondent in Kentucky. Although touch in? only upon the closing -cones oi that Moody ' struggle, it will neverlhe 1 ss be found remark ably interesting : * * The resistence made by the Confederates was most gallant, although they fought under every disadvantage. On Wednesday, tliegunboats were entirely defeated and rendered useless. The strength of the outer defences, as given in the Northern journals, lias been greatly exag gerated, there being in fact nothing but earthwork j and rifle pit — w/ti- 'i loerc the labor of a single j night —outside of the fort proper. The position being considered untenable in the presence of so large a force, it was deter mined on Saturday to evacuate the fort, and, cutting away through the enemy, to fall hack upon Nashville. One division loci by General Titiow was thrown torward lor this purpose, andadvancinggallaatly toopen field, and against large odds, drove the 1* ederal troops before liiein, and succeeded in tl.rowing them.into confusion. The road to O'lnrkm illc was thus perfectly clear ed of the enemy. Buckncr, who was in com mand of lite reserve, and who was stationed in a position which would have enabled him to protect the retreat, had everything in readiness, when he received orders from Pillow to fall back again to the trenches. Tho empty-headed vanity of Pillow induood him to believe that in the brilliant victory he had gained, he had not merely defeated bui had actually routed the Federal forces, and he insis ted on returning and holding the position- As Floyd agreed with him, Buckucr of coins.; yiel ded. Elated with his success, l'illow iuimedi ateiv despatched Southward the news of what he then believed to be the triumphant result ot the day's light; but on returning to the trenches he discovered that the Federal forces were already in possession. They were driven out, but when night closed in they still occupied an outer work which commanded the fort proper. The Confederate troops, utterly worn out wit i three days' hard fighting,, and disgusted at finding the battle-ground they had so lately Won re-occupied by reinforcements of fro !t tro >ps, had but little hope of cutting their way through the opposing host, although Billow urged that the attempt should again be ma dr. Hnkner took ground against it, as y. ra-ii w;u-to ot life. Fioyd and i'iito.v then determine I tomakc their escape, and traiisfored the command to Buck tier, leaving him a! liberty to enter upon negotaiions for a surrender, Fiuyd succeeded in getting ofl with a portion of Ills coiumau 1. l'illow went alone.

CHICAGO, March 21. —-V special despatch to' the Chicago Tribune from Cairo 20th, says that a report was received this morning from Syke sion, that Jell". Thompson had landed i-.r Cap/ Girardeau, and was pressing men an 1 liorscs into the rebel service. A skirmish liad taken place between the Union forces and his advance. Three of the enemy were kiileJ and wounded. Reinforcements have been sent there. A gentleman who has been a contractor at Memphis, wiio left there cn Thursday,'"arrived last evening, lie reports that Gov. Harris disappeared from Memphis the second day af ter the one to which the Legislature adjourned to, and hasn't since been heard from. He is supposed to be at Corinth, Miss. The Legisla ture has adjourned, and gone no one knows whither. The subject of burning the city in case evacuation was necessary was still be ing discussed. There has been no impressment of Union men into the rebel service to any ex tent. except for guard duty, until since the fall of Fort Donelson. Since Gov. Harris' procla mation impressments have been general. Hun dreds have been picked up ia the streets and taken from stores rtnd dwellings, and inarched off to the camps of' instruction at the point of the bayonet. The floating battery is so constructed as to sink to the water's edge, leaving nothing ex posed except the armament, which consists of nine Dahlgren guns. It was built for the pro tection of Memphis, and has been sent to Island No. 10. llollins' steam ram was also sent there. The Union men are leaving Memphis in great num bers, leaving their property to be confiscated, and glad to escape with their lives. Quarrels in the streets are frequent occurrences between Union men a. id secessionists, and shots are hour ly exchanged. The rebels greatly need iron, and have offered £25,000 to any artisan who will discover a process of making malleable iron. Ammunition is plenty; manufactories arc in operation day and night in th? vicinity of Memphis. There, are no mail facilities, except along the railroad route.;, l itters and papers arc carried from town to town, by private enter prise. Another correspondent who loft Island No. 10. yesterday noon says:—Firing is oniy niod erato from the Benton and Mound City at in tervals of fifteen minutes each, tho object being to reduce the upper batteries.
