We learn from the Pittsburg papers that his Excellency, Gov. Curtin, was present, at and delivered an address before a war meeting held •in that city on the 24th ult. During the course of his remarks, we are informed, the governor made use of the following language: "The President has at last learned that we are actually engaged in a war. Without charg ing that mistakes have been made, it is enough to say that after long months of schooling, the war is now to be prosecuted with vigor. War means violence, and in time of war mnn relapses into barbarism. The property, nay, even the life of an enemy, and everything that he has, we must take to use against him. In the absurdity of civilization our arms have left a guard at every house, and left our ene mies behind them to hunt nnd destroy. This is not war! The crops in the valley of tho Shenandoah belong to us. That horse, that man, be ho white or black, if claimed by our •enemy, belongs to us." So it seems that the President did not know until lately that "we are actually engaged in a war!" Thousands of millions of money spent, hundreds of thousands of soldiers raised, equip ped and marched against the enemy, our coun try for nearly eighteen niongths deluged in or or tiu .L. '——. uf tte orphan, the wail of the bereaved and the bro ken-hearted saddening the land, and the Presi dent all this while ignorant of the fact that "we are actually engaged in a war 1" And yet we were assured, from time to time, by the organs of the federal administration, that the meas ures taken for the suppression of the rebellion were most ample and effectual and could not possibly prove- unsuccessful. We were told that the "grand army of the Potomac" eclipsed anything of the kind the world had ever seen; that before it the secession hordes would melt away like wax before a furnace; that the reb el capital would inevitably fall into its posses sion whenever it would take up its line of march and that before its victorious tread the banners of secession would go down like grain before the reaper. Wo were told, too, of vic tories bought with the blood of thousands—of victories at Somerset, Ilenry, Donelson, Pea Ridge, Shiloh, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Fair oaks, and the brilliant series ill the ensanguined swamps of the Chicknhominy. And notwith standing all this lesson printed indelibly upon the hearts of the American people, written in blood upon every hearthstone in the land, the President had yet to learn that "we are actual ly engaged in a war." Strange, passing strange, this slowness of comprehension on the part of the President! Wonderful, singularly won derful, that Governor Curtin should have fur nished over one hundred thousand soldiers for the service of an executive who did not know that they were intended to be employed by him in the prosecution of war! What may wo not be told next year, -next month, next week or to-morrow 1 JVous vevrons/ The Governor, in the remarks above quoted, takes occasion (although drawing but a general outline) to give a picture of the times from which the pen of the historian may draw in spiration when it comes to the mournful task of recording the story of our national troubles. "In time of war," savs His Excellency, 'irnun relapses into barbarism!'' Farther ou he B]>eaks of the "absurdities of civilization." We had thought that this war, on the part of the loy al states, was, professedly, to maintain and pre serve that form ol Government under which man emerges from the darkness of barbarism into the sunlight -of civilized life, by which the world is to be regenerated, civilly speaking, and through whose influence the last vestige of the barbaric ages shall be wiped from the face of the earth. We bad thought that there was such a thing as civilised warfare, that inva sions in which booty, rapine and play ed their part, bad passed away with the reced ing footstep of the painted savage, that even generosity and magnanimity bad eomc to form Jta essential ingredient in the character of the ' true soldier. How sad has been our mutate! How fur has our admiration fur American civi lization, American enlightenment, American hu manity, overshot the mark! The light of re ligion shining in all its noonday effulgence* up on our land, the sunshine of moral culture, of literary refinement, of scientific lore shed ding its radiant flood upon our minds, and we fulling back into barbarism! Heaven forbid that this should be so, that we should "relapse into barbarism" to carry on afiy war, that we should become Goths and Vandals instead of Christian soldiers, that we should barter away our glorious name as a civilized and enlightened nation, in exchange for the fading wreath and perishing glory of the victor in battle! <srThe next term of the Alleghany Male and Female Seminary, will begin on Mondav, Aug. 4. WAR NEWS. —There is no war news of im portance. Tho guerillas are stillactivc iu Ken tucky, Tennessee and Missouri. DEFERRED. —The proceedings of the Somer set Bar, relative to the death of O. 11. Gaither Esq., will appear in our next. They are una voidably crowded out this week. I Gov. CURTIN. —His excellency, Gov. Curtin, ! arrived at the Springs, on Friday evening last. The Governor looks somewhat worn, owing, I doubtless, to the laborious duties pressing upon him in connection with the raising of the new quota of volunteers. MEETING OF THE LADIES. —The ladies of Bud j ford and vicinity are respectfully requested to meet at the Court House, on Tuesday evening next, to make arrangements to forward some delicacies and articles of comfort to the siek and wounded soldiers. DEATH OF MARTIN VAN BUKF.N.—Ex.Presi dent Martin Van Buren died at KlnJerhook, N. Y., on the 24th ult., in the 79th year of his age.

Judgo Fisher is one of the ablest jurists in the State and a most af fable and agreeable gentleman. THE WAR MEETING.— For a detailed ac count of the war meeting on Saturday night, we refer our readers to another column in this issue. The secretaries of the meeting 'spread' themselves so extensively in their report, that they crowd out our news columns almost entirely. THCTFRESIDEXT AND THE BORDER STATE CON GRESSMEN.— We advise our readers to peruse with care the correspondence .between the Pres ident and the Border State Congressmen, pub lished on our first page. Any person who reads that correspondence and does not come to the conclusion that the President is an abolitionist as well as a weak agS vacillating man, either has no brains, or, if he has, is determined not to use them. SOME ON TROUT. —Messrs- Colin Jae. RoyuuMt. cnufttit, n. fr.w days ago, in the Big Spring, at Trout's Mill, in this county, up wards of 300 of the finest trout we have ever seen. Some weeks prior, they caught 211, ma king nearly 600 trout caught in two days. If any body can beat that just let them give us th 6 evidence and a few of the speckled beauties for inspiration, and we will write them down the troutfishers of the dny. As far as heard from, Loycr and Reynolds are entitled to the palm. IRON CITY COLLEGE. —There is, perhaps, no institution in the country that has been so well sustained during the war as the Iron City Col lege, of this city, and certainly none more de servedly so. This school which has so long ta ken the lead in imparting to young men a thor ough practical business education, was never, all things considered, in a more prosperous con dition thnn at present. The perfection ofrits drill is tridy wonderful, as may lie seen in the workmanship of its graduates which challenges comparison with that of any other similar insti tution in the world. Catalogues can be obtain ed on application to the principals, Jenkins & Smith.— Pitts. Mor. <]• Eve. Gas. WAR MEETING. A very large meeting of the citizofli of Bed ford borough ami immediate vicinity was held at the Court House on Saturday evening, July 26th, for the purpose of adopting measures to facilitate nnd hasten the raising of volunteers, under the late requisition of the President of the United States, for three hundred thousand additional troops. The meeting was organized by the nomination of Hon. Jon MANN, as President, Hon. S. L. Russell, Hon. W. P. Schell, S. 11. Tate, Esq., and John F. I.owry, Vice Presidents; and \V. Kirk and 11. Nicodeinus, Esq., Secretaries. The object of the meeting having been fully stated by Hon. John Cessna, the following reso lutions were then offered by A. King, Esq.: Resolved , That the war for the suppression of this unholy rebellion ought to be prosecuted with the utmost vigor; and that all the legiti mate means which God and naturo hnve placed in our hands should lie eneigetically employed to vindicate the rightful authority of the Gov ernment, anil crush out all treason, whether it consists iu open resistance or ill-concealed sym pathy. Resolved, That we cordially approve and will cheerfully sustain the recent action of the Fed eral Government in calling upon the loyal States i for three hundred thousand soldiers to increaso the army, and thus insure a speody termination of the war. Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to the Commissioners of Bedford county, a prompt ap propriation of ten thousand dollars, to be ex pended in bounties of fifty dollars to each vol nnteer, trusting that the Legislature, at its next session, will provide the ©cans for tho payment jof the same; and we hereby plodge ourselves to stand by and sustain tho Coromifwiners in such action. Resolved, That a refusal or wilful neglect to aid in the efforts now being made to sustain and defend the Government, in this trying exigency I in its history, can be ascribed to no motive or | purpose, but a disposition to encourage the re bellion nnd assist in the dissolution of our re publican institutions. They that are not for the country in this day of great peril, are, nnd should be, every where regarded as against it. Resolved, That this war lias been forced upon the country, by tho treason nnd malice of its re bellious citizens, and is, thorcforc, a war in which foreign governments can claim no right, by any law or custom of naftons, or 011 any grounds whatsoever, to interfere for tho purpose of compelling this government to recognize the existence or independence of the so-called con federate .States; and that any attempts at any such interference ought to be, and will be, re sisted to the very last extremity. The resolutions were reeeivod with cheers and adopted bx acclamation." Governor (Wtin was then introduced to the meeting, and, although laboring under severe hoarseness, delivered an address upon the pres ent condition of the country and the war, mark ed by the loftiest patriotism, and abounding in the most fervid and stirring eloquence. He was followed by the Uflk J. K. Moorehead, of Pitts burg, in a shortpWl very eloquent, and appro priate speech, replete with practical suggestions. Those speeches were greeted with great applause, indicating that the hearts of the niultitnd# re sponded with unaffected fervor to the whole sen timents proclaimed by the speakers. Mr. Cess na then submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the olliecrs of this meeting ap point a committee of twelve persons in this bor ough, to act as a Central Committee for the county, and to adopt such ways and measures as they may deem expedient to encourage the raising of recruits and money to pay the boun ty offered by this meeting. Resolved, That said committee so appointed shall appoint a committee for each election dis trict in the county, consisting of such number as they may deem advisable; and that snch committee be requested to meet and organize forthwith, and a'dd to their number and appoint such sub-committees as they may think best cal culated to promote the objects in view. Resolved, That this meeting and the central committee will at once proceed to receive sub scriptions of money to be applied to the pay ment of bounties. Said subscriptions to be ab solute, in case 110 provision should hereafter be made by law for their payment; to lie refunded, however, in case such order should be hereafter made by the proper authorities. Resolveil, That the several committees of the county be earnestly recommended to adopt the same plan, and that we appeal to the liberal and patriotic people of Bedford county, to come for ward promptly, and subscribe at least ten tliou sand dollars," so as to secure to eaeKjM' the two hundred volunteers required I'rom Bedford coun ty, a bounty of til'ty dollars, in addition to tho pay and bounties of the Government, for the benefit of himself and family. The following gentlemen were appointed mem bers of the central committee, viz: John Cessna, Geo. D. .Sliuek, Henry Nieode mus, Valentine Steeknian, W. C. Reiser, J. VV. Lingenfelter, R. D. Harclay, John Mower, S. H. Tate, John H. Rush, John Taylor, IS'. J. Lyons. In support of these resolutions Mr. Cessna made un utalc speech, in which he, prpsentedjthe great danger now menacing the very existence of the Government, and urged upon all loyal and patriotic citizens the absolute necessity for prompt and action, in the cours® of it in xvoimiiO) iio wsx/n. ocoß9lOn to nutfco BOWe pointed thrusts at Northern sympathizers, that will not soon be forgotten. The applause that followed showed how cordially his speech was approved by the audience. A subscription was then started to raise mon ey in anticipation of the action of the Commis sioners, and one thousand dollars was obtained in a few minutes. It was then ordered that the proceedings should be published, and the meeting adjourned. The central committee, at the call of the chairman, John Cessna, Esq., met at his otlice, on Monday morning—the following appoint ments were then made: Secretary —John Mower.

CAMP NEAR HARRISON'S LANDING, ( Saturday, July 12th, 'O2. J Dear Mother: I have received your letter of the sixth. We are here near Harrison's Landing, Jamos River. Everything lias been quiet | since we have been here. We have been work ing iiard on tho front. Wo were the rear guard, coming, and, of course, when we halted it left lis in the front again. We have thrown up large fortifications and rifle pits, and cut down a large amount of timber to give the ar tillery a fair sweep. The Rebel army that fol lowed 11s so close up to here, have fallen back pome, but keep their pickets near ours. The two contending armies, it appears, are just ly ing here, waiting to see which will strike the first blow. There was a flag of truce sent in the other day, to our General, to come and take his sick away as they had enough to do to at tend to their own. These were the sick that could not be got along and were left behind when this move was made. On last Wednes day (July Otli) President Lincoln reviewed the troops here in person, I don't know what bro't him here unless he could not understand why this movement was made and came to lan for an explanation. You said youdid'nt think McClellan would ever take Richmond. The army of the Poto mac will either take Richmond, or the "sacred soil" of Virginia will become the burying ground for us all, and that as soon as McClellan gets properly reinforced. Jeff. Davis and his legious have found out that the Yankees, as they call us, will tight. 1 don't believe there will be much done here for two or three weeks, now, unless the enemy attacks us. This is 0110 of tho sickly months here and I believe McClellan intends resting Ins army until September and then beginning a fall campaign. You said you would like if I would get a furlough and come home for a while. There are .10" many furloughs given, and even if there were I would not have one unless I was sure the army was going to lie here till September. 1 urn not afraid to stay in Virginia, nor of the Rebels. We are on an equal' footing—they have guns and so have I, and if one of them shoots me it will save the light duty of return ing the compliment. If there were a few days that we had to "skedaddle," great and glorious are the results of these days which try men's souls on the peninsula of Virginia. As things look a little dark and arc a little hard sometimes, we, as Americans, should by no means forget the heroic deeds, sacrifices and trials of our forefathers in battling for this great Republic. Wo have lost many gallant men, but they are now freed from their clayey fetters, and are roaming far away among the starry spheres. They are happier than we, for their journey is over, ours is still before us. This ought not to discourage young men, let every one of them como out a soldier for the Union and the Con stitution, for the blood of those thm. have suffer ed is crying for vengeance. Let some of our men' thoro, at home, awake from their lethargy uiui wine ana help crush out this wicked rebell ' ion. Lot them answer the cull tor troops and not stuy at home talking of the war mid its consequences or concerning polities. Let the politicians come here if they want popularity and make it by helping put down the war. If the days of .'76 were those which taught Great Britain to respect the thirteen States, it is tiuiu that the people would turn out and make the South respect the Union and the Constitution. There is nothing strange or exciting to write to you from here, wcLave a transport or mail boat tired into oeensiSßslly. We are on the farm of a Mr. Harrison, a distant relative of General 1 larjison's. Sumo pretend to say the farm at one time belonged to Gen. Harrison's fifther and that the General himself was born on it. It is a beautiful country around here. It is level land, but so much higher than the river that it enables you to have a full view of it. There has not been much harvesting done here. There were splendid crops, hut they were all destroyed. The two armies marching through the country destroyed everything. I don't know when we will make a move from hern to Richmond, but I think it won't be for some time. Our picket's lines are two miles and tv half from camp. We moved the last day our company was on picket, and we had to go through the woods. I had good luck in that, for I found a blackberry patch and picked about three quarts. They make tt splendid pot-pie, witli crackers lor dumplings. Gen. Peck is our division General, instead of Gen. Casey. lie is a good General an 1 always ready for a pitch-in with the Rebels. Direct your letters as before, except put oa Peck's Di vision, instead of Casey's. Yours &e., JOIIN 15. HELM. Our Candidate for Auditor General. Wo transfer to our columns, from theLewis durg Ari/us, published in Union county, the fol lowing, showing the estimation in which Mr. Stealer, the Democratic candidate for Auditor General, is held at home: "It is needless for us to speak of the untaint ed character of Mr. Slcnker, the nominee for Auditor General. The citizens of Union and neighboring counties are well acquainted with his high standing as a man of talent and integ rity, and as an accomplished lawyer. The huge vote polled in his favor during the recent Judi cial contest in this district, is a convincing ex ponent of the great estimation in which he is held by the citizens of this portion of the State, and will s rvc as powerful recommendations to other districts. We feel confident that every honest. Union-loving man who is acquainted with his superior merits, will give him his vig orous and earnest support, and to tliose who do not have the honor of a personal acquaintance with him, we would say, be assured that h is all, even more than his most ardent friends have represented him to be; sustain him, help us to place him in the position for which the Democ racy and conservative men of the State have nominated him, and we pledge you our honor that you will find him a man capable for the r. sponsibility and trustworthy of the distinc tion, and an officer of whom all will approve. We arc sorry to see that he has already been so base lv, insufferably slandered and villified by men who claiip to be free of political prej udices, national in their sentiments, and devoted to the Union cause. The citizens of this dis trict arc acquainted with the disreputable schemes of thoso characters, and will disre gard the vile inventions of their unprincipled mints.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla TS r. concentrated extract of Para Sarsapa- JL rilla, so combined with other substances of alill greater alterative power as to afford an of fccti\e antidote for diseases Sarsapatilia is repu ted to euro. Such a remedy i 3 surely wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will •iceomplish their euro must prove of immense service to this largo class ot our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst coses to be found in the following complaints:— SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, E RUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, UI-CERS, I'IMPLES, BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT HHEUM, SCAI.D IIEAD, SYPHILIS AND SYPHILITIC AFFEC TIONS, AIRRCLRIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEURAL IA OR lie DOLOKEUX, DEBILITY, DYSPEPSXA AND ISDIHESTION, ROSE OR ST. AN THONI"'s FIRE, and indeed the wiioi. 0 p complaints arising from IMPURITY OF THEBLOW This compound will be found a great promo ter of health, when taken in the spring, to ex pel tl.e fbut humors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely ex pulsion of them#many rankling disorders are nipped in tne bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of tins remedy, spare themselves from the en durance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, ilii'UUgn Av 1 ili. 11 tli yetuiu will tiUivo tv lld It* self of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people en joy hotter health, and live longer, cleansing the blood. the blood healthy, and all is well; but with the'pabulum of life disordered, therij can lie no lasting health. Sooner or later some thing must go wrong, and tl;o great machin ery of life is disordered or overthrown. During late years the public have been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for thev not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, hut often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment hus followed the use of the various extracts of Sar saparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the natno from the load of obloquy which rests up on it. And we think we have ground for be fieving it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. Prepared by DR. J. C. AYER & CO., Low ell, Mass.
