The Democracy of Bedford county, will meet in MASS CONVENTION, at-the Court House, , in Bedford, on MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, for the purpose of ratifying Democratic nomi nations, and re-itcrating their oft-repeated pledg es to the "Constitution As It Is," and the "U --nion As It Was," to renew their solemn protest against Abolition and its natural consequence, Secession, and to vindicate the Democratic par ty from the aspersions falsely cast upon it by Abolition traitors in the North, the enemies of the Constitution and the Union. Rally, Democrats! Friends of Constitutional Liberty, to the rescue! Come from your farms and your workshops, come from mountain and valley, come ye who in the dark future of our country, must bear the heat and burden of the # day, and strike ono more blow for liberty and law, for the safety of your homes, the protec tion of your property, the security of your lives! "Come as the winds come When forests are rended! Come as the waves come, When navies are stranded!" Meeting of the Democratic County Committee. The Democratic County Committee will meet at the office of Hon. W. P. Schell, in Bedford, on WEDNESDAY, the 20 Ih DAY OF AU- ' A'IUIT Hftgffdiinse is requested, as business of importance will be laid before the Committee. The following named persons constitute the Committee: J. W. LINGENFELTER, J. P. REF.D, M. HOLDERBACM, J. W. CRISMAN, 15. W. STATI.ER, P. F. LEHMAN, H. J. BRDVER, WM. BONNELL, THOS.

GUT subscribers should remember that if they want to get their paper at the advance rate of 1 .50 per annum, they must pay now or with-1 in three months from the present data. Pay ing at the end of six months, or just before the year is up, is not paying in adcance. The com ing court will afford a good opportunity for ad vance paying subscribers to send in their mon ey. We would also ask those who are in ar rears to call and settle. Of course we do not refer to regular paying subscribers. We mean those who owe us for two, three or more years. We must pay our debts and find it impossible to do 60 without money. Friends, let not our ap peal be in" vain! Drafting, The War Department has determined to raise 600,000 troops in addition to those already In the field. To accomplish this object, the pre liminary steps to a draft of the militia have been arranged, and unless the quota of the State is filled by the 15th inst., the proposed conscrip . tion will be certainly carried into effect. There may be some days of grace allowed, provided ihero is a fair prospect of raising the quota im mediately by volunteers. Of this lenity, how ever, there is no certainty. Our peoplo can safely conclude that the able-bodied portion of male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 will be more than decimated, before the new calls for troops are filled. Every third man, we think, will be compelled to shoulder a Is it not reasonable, ttien, that people whp are in circumstances to leave their homes, should prefer to volunteer! We could never find it in our heart to ask any man to enlist, whom we believed to be pecuniarily an-1 relatively in the same position as oureelf. But thore are those ■who need not sacrifice their earthly all in going to war. There are dingle men and wealthy men enough in Bedford county to fill our quota. Let these come forward and volunteer, the first* cause they have no families dependent upon their daily labor for support, the other to show their gratitude to tho Government wh> whieh they have attained to richer, apd prosperity. J e Bed ford eoqpty tu be disgraced with a draft! Are dhon not enough of two classes to which we have referred, who will come forward to prevent this disgrace? Come, patriotic young men! Come, you who can afford to volunteer! Yours is the duty to prevent the humiliation which conserTpßm must bring upon the patri otism of the county, as well as the distress and want which must follow the drafting of those upon whose labor and presence at home, .alone depend the subsistence of hundreds and thou sands in reduced and precarious circumstances. A dozen volunteers from each election district in the county, in addition to those already rais ed, will be more than enough to do away with the necessity of the draft. Let every township and borough furnish its quota of ten or a dozen volunteers, them concentrate at Bedford, form themselves into companies, elect their offi cers, and, if need be, let them be subsisted, whilst in rendezvous here, at the expense of the county, and we will guaranty that Bedford county will not only escape the draft, but will be honored, in all coming time, for the patriot ism and gallantry of her citizen soldiers. Who will be first to carry our suggestion into effect? Governor Curtp. His Excellency, Gov. Curtin, left the Springs on the 10th inst., for Ilarrisburg, we arc glad to hear, considerably improved in health. In the discharge of our duty as a Democratic edi tor, we have had occasion to review Gov. Cur tin's political doctrines with Some severity, and we cannot bate one jot or tittle of what we have said in this respect; but candor compels us to admit (and we do so most cheerfully) that the Governor has done some acts during his admin istration, for which he deserves and shall have our approbation. Had the Governors of other States possesse 1 half the energy displayed by Gov. Curtin, and had the Administration at Washingtbn entertained the proper view of the magnitude of the rebellion, the fate of our be loved country would not now be trembling in the balance. Had other State Executives re sisted the pressure of radioal abolitionists, as we are informed Gov. Curtin has done, there would now be troops of friendly, sympathising Union men, instead of bands of fierce and infu riated guerillas, gathering around our armies in the South. Comparatively, therefore, Mr. Cur tin deserves praise, for his energy in the raising of troops and his conservatism in refusing to be come a tool in the hands of the radicals. Like Senator Cowan, oiy State Executive lias drawn upon his devoted head the execration of the fa natics and fools of the Greely and Beeclier school, and, therefore, it becomes the duty of conserva tives to applaud and encourage him in the course he is pursuing. Only let him remain firm a painst their machinations and tile conservative people of the State will rally around him and sustain him in every peril. RECRUITING. —Never since the war began has the raising of volunteer companies been attend ed with sucli signal success as during the past week. We have heard of whole companies be ing enlisted in a single day, and one of the com- Ps" i ?nJ'liß?Aifti/fe' < Kifmßcr. < c !\r>t. Bobb's) oypi* are perfectly safe in estimating the number of volunteers at present enrolled in this county at between 400 and 500. The following officers have raised and are engaged in raising compa nies : Captain Bobb, company full and gone to Camp Curtin; Cnpt. S. B. Tate, seventy men; Capt. S. G. Statler, had forty men when last heard from; CApt. Dickerhoof, 40; Capt. May, 30; Lieut. Hudson, 20 men and gone to Camp Curtin. In addition to these, Captain Josinh Baughman, of Bloody Bun, is raising a compa ny, which we have no doubt will be a perfect success. There is' also a Cavalry company be ing formed in Morrison's Cove, and we presume that there are other officers recruiting in this county of whoso operations we have not heard. From these indications it will be seen that we can easily raise our quota of the GOO,- 000 men without drafting, if the Government will but give us a little more time. Meanwhile we would warn our citizens not to enlist with recruiting officers from other counties. Dur ing the last ten days Blair and Huntingdon counties have drawh upon us for at least fifty men. This is all wrong and must be prevented in the future. AnounoNNoMiNATiON.—The Abolition Con gressional Conference for this district, met at Mcllwoin's tavern, in Fulton co., on the 7th inst., and on the ninth ballot nominated Ed ward MePherson, the present member, for re-e --lection. The usual bargain and sale were made before the nomination was effected. MePher son is a straight-out Abolitionist, having voted for the of slavery in the District of Columbia and supported all of the radical meas ures introduced into Congress. He is under the thumb of that grim old apostle of Aboli tionism, Thnddeus Stevens, and does his bidding in every thing. If the people want the slaves of the South let loose on the North, they can do no better than vote for Ed. MePherson.

Vols., and late of this county, died, a few days ago, at Hilton Head, of typhoid fever. Poor Flegle was a good soldier, and his death will prove n loss to his company, but, alas! a great er, sadder loss to that little family in the moun tain homo, which shall never see his face again. McMiclmel, a lender of the late Republican party, declared in a speech at Lan caster, a few days ago, that there are but two parties at present, the Abolition and the Demo crtic party. The people must choose between the two. (SPThe Democratic State Committee has im posed some important duties upon our county committee. See proceedings. Discouraging Enlistments. If there are anv persons in this Stnte disposed so far to sympathize with rebellion as to dis courage enlistments, wc desire to call their at tention to an act of the Legislature of 1861, which, among other things, provides that "if any person or persons belonging to or residing within tliisfttatc shall endeavor to persuade a ny person or persons from entering the service of this State or the United States, or from joining any volunteer company or association of this State, about being mustered into sen-ice, or shall use threats or persuasion, or offer any bribe, or hohl out any hope of reward, with like intent to induce any person or persons to abandon said sen-ice, or with draw from any volunteer company or association already organized under the laws of this Com monwealth for that purpose, every person so offending, and being lcsrally convicted thereof, shall be sentenced to undergo solitary imprison ment in the penitentiary, at hard labor, for a term not exceeding ten years, arid be fined in a sum not exceeding fire thousand dollars, or both, at the dis cr-etion of the court." Organization of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee. PHILADELPHIA, July 29, 18G2. At a meeting of the State Central Committee, held at the Merchants' Hotel, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 29th, 1892, a permanent or ganization was effected by the Hon. Francis W. Hughes, of Schuylkill county, Chairman of said Committee, calling the Committee to order. George de B. Kcim, Esq., of Selmvlkill county, and Col.

That will open the eyes of the Presi dent and the Cabinet to the true sentiments of the North. Fremont has been degraded by the border States; but let us hope that like Charles the Second, he may die on his rightful throne."

A SEVERE BATTLE. NEW YORK, August 10.—The following de spatch has been received by the Tribune:— HEAD-QUARTERS, C MILES BELOW CULPEPPER, ) August 10, 1862. j A battle was fought yesterday betwtecn Gen. I Banks and Stonewall Jackson. Gen. Bayard of General McDowell's corps, with his cavalry brigade, had been engaged be fore in the extreme advance, near the fiapidan river, in skirmishing nnd maneuvering, taking some prisoners, and ending with a slight loss, baffling the efforts of a lurge force to surround und cut him off. Yesterday morning he was engaged for some hours before Gen. Ranks came up, and with four regiments of cavalry, the First Pennsylva nia, First Main and First Rhode Island, delay ed and embarrassed the enemy's advance. The Rebels, under Jackson and Ewell, had crossed the Rapidan, in force, and their ad vance guard, 15,000 strong, was attacked by Gen. Banks, yesterday afternoon, about six miles south of Culpepper Court House. The fight was almost wholly with artillery at first but the infantry became engaged about six o'clock, and a determined and bloody con test followed. Gen. Banks' right wing under General Wil liams, suffered severely. _ The Rebel position was in the woods, while to cross an open" grWUnh. ■' *' It was not till obout G o'clock that it became evident that the reliels were attacking us in force. Previous to that there had been rather desu'tory cannonading. The whole Rebel force suddenly attacked us in overwhelming numbers at all points. Near ly all their regiments had full ranks. * At Ik o'clock General Pope arrived on the field from Culpepper accompanied by General McDowell, with a part of McDowell's Corps. The battle was then substantially over, Gen. Banks holding the ground that he had occupied at the beginning. After the arrival of General Pope there was an artillery contest, continuing at intervals till nearly twelve o'clock. The night was unusu ally clear, and the moon full. The. Rebels planted a battery against Mc- Dowell's centre, where Gens. Pope and Banks were, bringing both of them under fire. The Generals and their staff were so near the Rebel lines, bcingactually in front of their own lines that a sudden charge of the Rebel cavalry was made from the woods, a quarter of a mile off, apparently with a view to capture them. The attempt was repelled by a vigorous fire from McDowell's troops, and the Generals and their staffs left the field under a cross-fire from the Rebels and their own troops. The fire of the Rebel batteries was after wards silenced. General Pope, on arriving, sent fresh troops to the front to take the place of General Banks' exhausted columns. The enemy did not renew the attack, except by artillery. Our troops were under arms, and in position all night. General Banks was on the field throughout the notion, and constantly under fire. His handling of his troops, and personal gallantry, is highly praised by his officers. The bravery and good conduct of the troops were conspicuous during a large part of the fight. When overpowered by numbers, some of the regiments retreated in disorder. Col. lvnipe, of the Forty-sixth Pennsylva nia, is dangerously wounded. Lieutenant Colonel Selfridga was severely wounded. Major Mathers had his arm amputated. Adjutant Boyd was severely wounded, (all of the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania.) Col. Donnelly, of the Twenty-eighth New York was fatally wounded: Lieut. Col. Brown had his arm amputated; Major Cook was killed —both are of the Twenty-eighth New York. Col. Chapman, of tho Fifth Connecticut, was wounded and taken prisoner. Lieut. Col. Stono, of tho satno regiment, was killed. Major Blake, of the same regiment, was wounded and taken prisoner. Major Savage, of the Twentieth Massachu setts, is probably killed. He was left on the field in a dying condition. Capt. Abbot, of the same. Regiment, was killed. | 'General Banks rather severely hurt hv /in accident. A ravalry trooper ran against him, and ho was struck heavily in the side. Nevertheless, he remained on the field, and is on duty this morning with his command. I Gen. Geary was wounded and has had an 'arm amputated. Gen. Augur is severely wounded. Major Pelouze, Gen. Banks' Adjutant, took command of a hesitating regiment and gallantly led it I through a galling tit 0. received two shots, and is severely but not dangerously wounded I in the side. Capt. Williams is missing. Capt. Goodwin is also missing. Capt. Q lincy was taken priso ner.- .Surgeon Leland was wounded. Litut. Oakly was wounded seriously. Lieut. Austin and Lieut. Bucktnan, of the First New Jersey Cavalry were wounded. No other in that Regiment were hurt. Lieutenant Hopkins, of tho Seventh Ohio, was wottn led. Col., lr'rpgh 8, chief of the stuff to General Pope, had his horse shot under liiin. Two of General Pope's body-guard were killed. Col Morgan, of Pope's staff, arid Major Per kins, of Gen. Banks' staff, both received bul lets through their hats'. The seeon 1 Massachusetts Regiment was in the hardest of the fight, and suffered severely. The Fifth Connecticut, Twenty-seventh Indi ana and Forty-sixth Pennsylvania, were badly cut up. Lieut. Ramsey, of General Banks' staff, bad bis horse shot under him. Gen. Winder, of the Rebel forces, was woun ded. The losses are very heavy on both sides, and it is supposed that not less than. 2<)')() or 3000 were killed and wounded or are missing on each sido. Some prisoners were taken on both sides. Jackson and Ewell were both present in the battle. Reinforcements to the amount of 18,000 men reached the rebels last night K at about the same time that ours arrived. Skirmishing in front is going on this morn ing, but the troops on both sides are so much exhausted by fatigue and tho intense heat that no serious encounter is expected to take place to-day. WASHINGTON, Ausr. 10.—Reports were hro't into Culpepper on Friday, of tho crossing of the Rapidan by the Rebels in force. It is sai 1 by a passenger who cams from the vicinity of Wnterloo to-day, that General Banks' column, which was in the advance, was attack ed by General Ewell in superior numbers. The struggle continued all day yesterday, and may at any time lie renewed. The loss is severe on both sides. A number of our wounded have been brought to Culpep per. No details of the battle have been officially received. It is represented that Generals Prince, Auger and Geary were wounded HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

The Draft and Heads of Families. The New York correspondent of the Phila delphia Ledger, referring to tho proposed draft of the militia, remarks: Reference must be had to tho circumstances of the parties upon whom tho lot m;iy fall, as in Franco and other Euronutn countries; else wo shall lie but rushing from one evil into ano ther. For an example, it would not l>e wise to tako away tho head of a family, if the family arc to be left without the means of support. In that ease we should have our almshouses filled up in a week, and all our public charities taxed beyond our abilities to endure. If does not follow from this that sni 1 head of' a family should be exempt. Ho owes tho State service just as much as other people, and the service, if it can lie discharged personally, must be discharged by proxy—or, as it is commonly called, by a "substitute." , Now, "substitutes," no doubt, will be abund int enough, lint the rates nt which they will value their services, as like as not, will be at a figure quite beyond the abil ity of any hut tho wealthy to command thorn. It is suggested that, in this matter, for the good of all those concerned, that the government it self should fix the value of substitutes, us is the ease in France. There are many other sogges. tions of a similar character entitled to careful consideration, nnd it is understood flint a com mittee of citizens will proceed to Washington in' the course of a day or see if the govern ment cannot be to adopt them, and issue tin order accordingly. Some of the gentlemen composing the committee have been long resident abroad, and, as they arc perfectly familiar with the "drafting" machinery there, they arc well qualified, to speak arid advise un derstandingly 011 the subject. JOHN W. FORNEY — THE RETIREMENT OF rag Ot.i) RAT.-— Said this ingrnte at a meeting the other night, "Retired front political life, I have d.wotediinyself to the nation." Precious hypocrite! When Forney retired from political life, it must have been like the old rat in the fable: "My dear children," said the old rat to his young ones, "the infirmities of age are pressing so heavily upon me. that I have de termined to dedicate the short remainder of my days to mortification and penance in a narrow and lonely hole which I have lately discovered; but let 111 c not interfere with your enjoyments; youth is the season for pleasure. Be happy, therefore, and only oliey my last injunction— never to come near me in my retreat. God bless you all." Deeply affected, sniveling •au dibly, nnd wiping bis paternal eyes with his tail, the old rat withdrew, and was seen no more for several days, when his youngest daughter, mov ed rather by affection than curiosity, stolo to his cell of mortification, which turned out to be a bale made by his own teeth in an enormous Cheshire cheese. The retirement from political life of John W. Forney!—ha! ha! ha! Office of Clerk of the Senate—great contract broker—and lobby a gent. Here is the Cheshire cheese, and the cells of mortification into which tiieold rat has retir ed to do penance for his many sins. lie simply asks the prayers of the faithful. Let them prey. Journal.
