Samuel W. Black, of Pittsburg, in the recent battle near Richmond. As one after another of the brave and true-hearted sons of Pennsyl vania, sinks to a bloody grave upon the bat tle-field, we begin to feel the full weight of the wo and desolation pressing upon our unhappy land. Alas! alas! That the gifted, the noble-hearted, the men guiltless of the first blood of this war, should be required as a sacrifice to atone for the wickedness and criminality of the mean, the foolish and the bigoted. Murray and Black! Can it be? The life-long opponents of the policy which produced the troubles of the nation, among the first to yield up their lives to ap pease the Moloch of civil war? It is even too true. These brave and patriotic men, having resisted to the last alike the insane agitation of anti-slavery fanatics and the knavish plots of Southern disunionists,when the appeal to arms was finally resorted to, rushed into the thickest of the battle, wil ling even to die rather than to behold the ruin of their country. They have made the dreadful immolation. They have poured out the baptism of their blood upon the cause for which they fought, and their freed spirits are now pleading with a merciful Providence for the restoration of peace and harmony to this distracted land. Col. Black was well known throughout the State, and as Governor of Nebraska, obtained a national reputation for ability and integrity. He was at one time a prominent candidate for Governor of this State, and was always held in deserved esteem by the political party of whicli he was an honored and influential member. As a soldier he ■was eminently distinguished for his gallant bearing, unfaltering courage, and that pecu liar dash so eminently requisite in an officer in the present war. He was through the Mexican campaign, in which he distinguish ed himself in the most creditable manner. But his name has passed into history, whose recording pen will write him high on the roll of patriots and heroes. So, rest bis spirit! though the roar, Of war's dread thunder shake the air; He'll hear the slogan never more, Nor with the chiefs the battle share! Resignation of Gen. Fremont. Owing to the chaotic condition of the ar m 7 in the valley of Virginia, the President has been compelled to consolidate the divi sions of Fremont and the other generals operating in that region. Gen. Pope, late of Halleck's division, has been assigned to the command of this consolidated army, it being supposed, from his exploits in the "West, that his style of fighting will be best adapted to the peculiar wants of Stonewall Jackson. This arrangement, however, did not at all suit Gen. John C. Fremont. It was subordinating him to another general, one, too, who served under him during his wonderful campaign in Missouri. It was patting a stumbling-block in the way to the dictatorship, which this unselfish patriot todd not brook to think about The ap pointment of Gen. Pope might be a blessing to the country, but it was sadly in the way of the "Woolly Horse" of Fremont's am bition. Consequently the loyal and self necrificing John C. considered it to be his dofty (not to the country, but to the afore said John C.) to resign Ids command. Oth er generals might serve in subordinate po sMjws, but M for him, give him the dicta- torship, or give him citizen's clothes. Jack son might hold the Valley just as long as he pleased; it was plain that the 4 'Path-finder" was not to be the coming man, and what good, therefore, (not to the country, but to the "Pathfinder") could come of his remain ing in the service? None; but, perhaps, humiliation, disgrace and political death. Hence he ha§ resigned. We doubt not that it will be for his own, as well as for his coun try's, good. Vale! Vale! Pathfinder.

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN. —We regret to announce the death of Isaac Mengel, sr., of this borough, which took place, at his residence, on Wednesday of last week, in the 74th year of his age. Deceased was a well known and highly esteemed citizen and his loss Is severely felt by a large circle of friends and accquaiu tance. May he rest in peace. —o— SAD ACCIDENT. —On Monday evening last, as the train from Huntingdon was ap - preaching Hopewell, a man was discovered ly ing upon the track, but unfortunately the dis covery was made too late to stop the train iii time to prevent its running over him. The poor fellow had his leg severed and hie faco 1 indig ent. When our informant left, It was presum ed that his injuries would result in speedy death. His name was James Kicliison. PREMONITORY SYMPTOMS OP THE COM ING FOURTH.—On Monday evening last our town was enlivened by a beautiful display of fire-works furnished for the occasion by James Reynolds, Esq., of New York City. Judging from this we are, after all to have "a Fourth "of July" in Bedford; at least so far as the patriot ism of pyrotechnics goes. But, seriously, ere we not to have any public celebration of the na tional anniversary? We should, Ht least, have the Declaration read,if for no other reason than to revive in the breasts of degenerate sons the spirit which animated the bosoms of the glori ous sires. SCHOOL ExAMI NATION. —The examina tion of the classes in the Bedford English School (Prof. J. W. Dickcison, Principal) came off on Friday, 20th ult. We had prepared a some what lengthy notice of the performances, which was intended for last week's issue, hut which was unavoidably crowded out. Wo have only room, this week, to express our admiration of the manner in which the exercises were conduc ted and of the general proficiency evinced by tho pupils. Among the litterary performances was an essay by Miss Jennie Russell, which, to our mind, ovidenced great precocity of genius in a writer so young as the author. On the whole, Prof. Dickerson's school has been quite a suc cess. TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. —This body as-! sernbled at the Court llou9c, in this place, on Friday 27th inst., and organized by the election of J. E. Satterficld, President, and E. F. Kerr, Secretary. Among the notable fea tures of the meeting, was a paper on the subject of the County Superintendcucy, by Mr. J. C. Geyer,of J uniata which was greatly admired by all who heard it On Friday eve ning Prof. Stutzman, County Superintendent of Somerset county, delivered an interesting and entertaining discourse upon the subject ol' Teachers and Teaching. Although not largely attended, tliis meeting of the Association was a good one, the members present being among the very best teachers in the county. DEATH OP BEDFORD SOLDIERS. —It be comes our painful duty to record the death of Watson King, son of Hon. A. King, of this place, which took place at Hilton Head, some weeks since, of the coast typhoid fever. De ceased was a youth of bright promise, posses sing that true gentility of cliarnctcr which so greatly ennobles the heart and mind of the young. The sympathy of the whole communi ty is with the bereaved and sorrowing friends. We mention, also, with profound regret, the death of Henry Q. Pcnnell, son of Eben Pen- Nell, of this place, who died, a short time ago, during his passage on board steamer from Edis to Island to Port Royal,. We are not appris ed of the nature of hie disease. Both King and Pennell were members of Capt. Ryee's com pany, Co. E., 76th regt. To CORRESPONDENTS. —We have a num ber of letters, some of which we had intended to publish, but owing to the crowded state of our columns for the last few weeks, we have found it impossible to do so. As correspon dence relating to current events and the news of the day, will not "keep," wo have very reluctantly concluded to omit them altogether. We have also received some communications exclusively political in their nature, ranging pretty much over the whole field of partisan discussion. As we can furnish matter of that sort, oursclf, wo would respectfully inform our friends that wc do not desire correspondence of that description. What we want is an account of local events transpiring throughout the coun ty. This, interspersed with a little fun, and a little politics, will make rcadablo correspon dence. Will our friends take a hint? —o • AN ITINERANT NUISANCE. —On Saturday evening last the space in front of the Bedford Hotel was crowded with people attracted thith er by the light of a glaring torch and the sound of the mellifluous voice of an itenerant Sangra do discoursing upon the merits of certain pills and powder invented and for sale by the elo quent gentlemen himself. Now, as it seems the populace are rather fond of being humbugged, we do not intend to object to tlio purchase of Sangrado's medicines. Nay, for aught we know, they may be very good in their place. But wc do protest against that stylo of oratory, wheth er medical, or of any other description, which must needs be interlarded with obscene stories such as told by this devoted follower of Escula pius. Ancedotcs of the Joe Miller school, do well enough, perhaps, in a crowd of reprobate men, but are not the he st kind of pabulum for the tender minds of children. Not so? ——o— REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. —Our re doubtable Republican friends met at the Court House, on Tuesday last, and nominated a part of a ticket, consi sting of candidates for com missioner, Poor Director and Auditor. Ben jamin Fink, of Hopewell tp., was nominated for the first named office and W. F.. Morehead, of Union, for the second. We have not been informed who was nominated for Auditor. No -nominations were made for Assembly, County Surveyor and District Attorney. Truly, a par ty must be in a dcplordnblo condition when it cannot fifid candidates enough to fill up a coun ty ticket.—The Convention had a pretty sav age contest on the subject of instructions for State Senator. The vote stood: For Samuel L. Russell, 17 votes, for G. W. Householder, 23 votes. Hon. A. King was presented ba Mm candidate of Bedford county, for Congress.— On the whole the proceedings please us very much. Poor, distracted, disorganized Republi canism! We pity tiiy fate!

As we have intimated heretofore in our despatches, it turns out that the statement that 10,000 prisoners were captured by General Pope is nothing but an elaborate fiction on the part of General llallcck, or made under a mis taken idea as to facts. A few prisoners, prob ably 300, were captured, but nothing like the number stated. We cut the above from the telegraph column of the Chicago Tribune, of tho 19th instant. A letter from the army at Corinth to the Cincin nati Commercial, a few days ago, said that the despatch of General Halleck that General Pope had captured 10,000 prisoners and 14,000 stand of arms was sensational. Both the despatch and the letter put the canard to tho credit of General Halleck. The despatch of General Halleck to the Secretary of War is as follows: "General Pope, with 40,000 men, ig thirty miles south of Florence, pressing the enemy hard. He already reports 10,000 prisoners and i deserters from the enemy and 15,000 stand of arms captured." Goneral Pope, according to Halleck's des patch, reported 10,000 prisoners and deserters captured. The question is, did General Pope make such a report! If he did, General llallcck did right to despatch the information to the Sec retary of War. If General Pope made no such report, Gen. Hallcck is responsible for the sen sational canard. The falsity of the despatch to the Secretary of War is admitted. The question is, wlipi responsible for it, llallcck or Pope! [For the Gazette.] Bedford County Teachers' Association.

Another Great Battle Near Richmond! Grand Strategic Movement by McClellan! 1200 FEDERAL TROOPS KILLED AND WOUNDEDI Cols. BLACK, MCLAINE, ROBERTS and Me- QI.'ADK, and Lieut. (Jols. SWEITZEH and SKIL LON, andMaj. PATTERSON among the killed! NEW YORK, June 30. The New York Tribune has just issued an ex tra with dispatches dated on the battle field, Sunday morning. The dispatch states that a severe and most determined battle was fought on the right wing on Thursday and Friday, which is cluiracd by some of our officers as a successful strategic movement, drawing the en emy unwittingly into a trap which will soon capture Richmond and the entire rebel army. The attack was made by the enemy in immense force, who crossed the Ciiickahominy near the Railroad, above Afechuiiicsville, on Thursday afternoon. The rebels fought desperately, but were unable to drive our men a single rod, though the enemy were ton to our one. The only force engaged that day was McCall's divi sion. The battle lasted from 2 o'clock till 9P. M., when the division was ordered back. Gen. McClellan was on the field, and expressed lijni self satisfied with the result. The Herald also publishes a report dated the 27th, which states that our killed, wounded and missing will number 1,200. The object of the movement was to bring Gen. Porter's and other divisions into close connection with the rest of the ami}', in fact changing the front of the whole of our forces, with our centre and left pressing immediately on Richmond itself, which could be done, it was expected, on Saturday. It was a virtual surrender, or vacating of a long line of defenses heretofore kept up to Mechan icsvillc, in order to have the whole force within a more effective distance; also to allow the reb els to follow, and, if possible, to bag them, Gen. McClellan ordered Gen. Porter to withdraw to two miles this side of Gains' mills, early on Friday morning, which was done, the enemy following and thinking they had gained a victo ry. Our troops slowly moved back, in order, lighting as they went, crossing the Chickahom iny, and reaching the position designated for their occupation by Gen. McClellan. The reb els followed in great force, and by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a general and heavy engagement occurred here, lasting till 7 o'clock, when a lull took place; but the rebels again renewed it with greater leroicty, having been re-inforccd. Our brave men stood the unequal cutest like heroes, and the shell, grape and musketry did fearful havoc. Our forces were increased by Generals Slocum's, Palmer's, French's and Meagher's bri giules. The rebels were beaten badly. Meagh er's brigade went into the battle with their coats oft' and sleeves rolled up, fighting like tigers. The ground which Gen. McClellan ordered Gen. Porter to occupy and hold, was occupied and held. In the first part of the day, Gen. Por ter's corps only, contended ngainst the robels, but subsequently re-inforcements swelled out numbers to 45,000. The rebels had 60,000 undor Generals Lee, Hill, Anderson and Branch. Auibng the killed are Col. Black and Lieut. Col. Swcitzcr, of the 62d Pa., Col. McLane, of the Massachusetts *22 d; Col. Roberts, of the Ist Michigan; Col. McQuadc and Lieut. Col. Skil lon, of the 4th New York; and Major Patter son, of the G2d Pennsylvania. WASHINGTON, June 30. The Government has no accurate informa tion of the state of affairs on the peninsula, in consequence of the interruption of telegraphic communication. Nothing has been received to warrant the belief of any serious disaster. FREMONT'S RELIEF ORDER. HEADQUARTERS MIDDEETOWN, Va., June 28. GENERAX.

FURTHER PARTICULARS UK THE FIGHT —THE KILL ED, WOUNDED AND MISSING L'RKL'A RATIONS I OR THE DEFENSE OF CHARLESTON, &C. New York, June 27. —1t is stated that Gen. Benham is under arrest, with orders to report to Washington. It is stated that Gon. Hunter left James Island on the 12th, leaving Benham in command, with orders to make no advance towards Charleston without reinforcements or further orders. It was reported by deserters that the whole rebel force at Secossionville a mounted to only two battalions, with six guns mounted and seven more ready for use. On the 16th Gen. Stevens, with 4,000 men, was to make the attack at daybreak, while Gen. Wright and Col. Williams, with 6,000 more were to support him. Somehow the movement was delayed an hour, and qgour troops rushed up the field they were in broad daylight, and were met by a murderous fire of grape and can ister. Two regiments only reached the fort, much cut up. The Eighth Michigan and Sev enty-Ninth New York, and the Twenty-Eighth Massachusetts regiments broke and scattered, and the Forty-Sixth New York did but little better. The first two regiments drove the rebel gunners from their guns, and some even penetra ted the work, but the other regiments failing to support them, they had to retire after holding the battery twenty minutes. Meantime Col. Williams emning to the sup port, was separated by a marsh from the fort and exposed to a severe cross fire from nine reb el guns in the woods. Ilis troops, the 3d New Hampshire and 3d Rhode Island, fought nobly, and met with considerable loss. For three-quar ters of an hour not a gun was fired from the fort, and the prompt presence of a few-hundred men would have carrfcd it. But they were not there and the troops had to retire. The foregoing is from the special correspon dence of the Express. Another account con firms the above in the main facts, but states that the Massachusetts 28th regiment did well. This account gives our loss as follows:—Killed 84, wounded 300, missing 124. Our camp is now within range of the gun boats' fire, and in safe condition. Entrench ments have been thrown up, and reinforcements arc awaited. Gen. Brannan's troops, numbering 2,000, had arrived at Jatncs Island from Key West, but our forces must be largely reinforced before opera tions can be resumed. Rebel troops are con stantly arriving, and preparations for the de fense of Charleston are being extensively made. A Beaufort letter states the losses of tlio 3d New Hampshire at 100 killed, wounded and missing, and the Michigan Bth regiment 300. The same letter asserts that Com. Dnpont says he can take Charleston with five good gun boats. Will run by Sumter and the other for tifications without _the loss of more than two, and with the others shell the city. A letter from an officer of the 08th N. York regiment gives the aggregate losses as follows: 28th Massachusetts, killed 8, wounded 41, miss ing 24 ; 79th New York, killed G, wounded 00, missing 40; 40th New York, killed 5, wounded 14, missing 10; 7th Connecticut, killed 13, wounded 75, missing 2; 7th and BthMichigan, total 104. Total loss 077. THE BATTLE ON JAMES ISLAND. REPULSE OF THEU. S. TROOPS. Loss 668 Killed Wounded and Missing. NEW YORK, June 27. The steamer Philadelphia has arrived from Beaufort , and the Ericsson from Key West, with dates to the 18th, and from Port Royal to the ! 23d. The latter brings 181 passengers, including Gen Benliam and stall', and 57 soldiers wounded in the laic engagement on James Island, in charge of Dr. E. R. Sclioll, of the 7Gth Penn sylvania Regiment. The account of the fight, copied from the Charleston papers, is correct. The U. S. troops under Gen. Bcnham, made an attaint at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 17th inst., and were re pulsed after four hours hard fighting, with a loss of GGB killed wounded and missing. The Mich igan Bth had but 250 men left at roll call. The New York 79th also suffered severely. The U niott troops were obliged to retreat under cover of the gun boats. Col. Perry, of the 48th New York Volun teers, died at Fort Pulaski, June 18th, of apo plexy. Important Army Order. GENERAL FREMONT RELIEVED FROM HIS COMMAND.
