a gentleman of commanding abilities; high
ly exemplary in his habits of life; of great
industry and purity of character.
Col. James P. Barr, our candidate for
Surveyor General, is'the editor and propri
etor of the Pittsburg Post, a newspaper that
since Mr. Barr'a connection with it, has ever
been the advocate of sound National prin
ciples. During the present civil war the
Post has ably advocated the prosecution of
the war for the suppression of the rebellion,
and the preservation of the Constitution and
the Union. At the same time it has been
unsparing in its hostility to that disloyal
party er combination that has sought to
prostitute such war to the mere purpose of
negro emancipation, and to that policy in
conducting it that necessarily tends to make
disunion perpetual, and to permanently de
stroy our republican form of government.
Mr. Ban 1 , like Mr. Slenker, is a Pfennsylva
nian by birth—born in the county of West
moreland —is a practical printer—has raised
himself to a pfoud political and business
position by his industry and energetic char
acter, and is a gentleman of promptness and
integrity in all his private and political re
lations.
While our candidates have great reason
to entertain a just pride that they have been
selected as the standard-bearers of a great
national party, struggling to maintain the
Union and the Constitution against danger
ous and insidious assaults of their enemies,
still, that the party, may well congratulate
itself that it is so worthily represented in
its standard-b^prers.
Fellow countrymen: a great issue is before
you. It involves the momentous consideration,
whether our Constitution and Union shall bo
preserved ; or whether abolition foes North, or
Secession foes South, shall destroy them! Ev
ery patriot in the land should know and feel
that the only chance for the preservation of our
present Government, its Constitution and tho
Union based theron, is in the success of tho Dem
ocratic party in the free States at the next elec
tion! If we fail, then all is lost, and the hitherto
glorious fabric of our once great Government,
•will fall, into tho abyss of anarchy, or else upon
its ruins a despotism will be reared. . !
In cither event our future will be marked in
desolated homes, ruined fortunes, the deprivation
of personal liberty and personal security, and
very possibly our soil and our streams he red
dened with the blood of our own people. In
such circumstances we appeal to every loyal
Pennsylvanian to do his <toty, by giving his en
ergies, his influence, and his vote to insure the
success of the nominees of the Democratic party.

The True Story frdtn Cumberland Gap.
Lonsviu.E, August 16.
Capt. J. A. Terry, Division Quartermaster,
just arrived from Cumberland Gap, which he
left on the 12th, at noon, reports that DeCour
sey's brigade was attacked by Stevenson's rebel
division on the 9th, at Tazewell, Tenn., and that
Col. Cochran's Fourteenth Kentucky regiment,
whipped four rebel regiments. Cochran held
his fire until the enemy were within 150 yards;
and checked their advance.
The Federal loss was 3 killed and 15 wound
ed, and 57 of the Sixteenth taken prisoners.
We took a rebel Lieutenant Colonel prisoner,
whom we exchanged for the 57 prisoners.
The rebel officers admitted a loss of 250 kill
ed and wounded. We took 213 wagon loads
of forage and 70 horses. We lost the knap
sacks of two regiments.
There has been no fight at Big Creek Gap,
as re port od, nor any other engagement in the
vicinity of tho Gap or Tazewell than tin; fore
going. All the r.ports of the cutting to pieces
of Gen. Carter's and Col. Bard s forces by the
rebels are utterly false.
Gen. Morgan has thanked DcCoursey and
Cochran for their gallantry.
The Kuoxviile papers give a list of 109 reb
el® killed at Tazewell.

DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.
The Democracy of Bedford county, will meet
in MASS CONVENTION, at the Court House,
in Bedford, on
MJJYDJY BVEJYIJYG, SEPTEMBER I,
for the purpose of ratifying Democratic nomi
nations, and re-iterating 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.
Bally, 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 one 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 tho winds come
When forests are rended!
Come as tho waves come,
When navies arc stranded!"
Our 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
in three months from the present date. Pay
ing at the end of six months, or just before the
year is up, is not paying in advance. The com
ing court will afl'ord a good opportunity for ad
vance paying subscribers to send in their mon
ey. Wc 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 so without money. Friends, let not our ap
peal lie in vain!
The Democratic Address.
We refer our readers, with pride and pleasure,
to the address of the Democratic State Commit
tee, published in tin's issue of the Gazette. It
is a paper well worthy the perusal of every cit
izen and one that will receive the /.party endorse
ment of every true and sincere patriot. It tr.T--
ces the causes of the present unhappy war to
their source and in so doing simply indicates
the truth of history. It shows how secession
has been intensified in the South by the insane
measures and movements of Abolitionists in
the North, and thus only reiterates what the
leading Union men of the Border States, in and
out of Congress, have stated from time to time.
It proposes to euro the evil of Disunion by crush
ing armed rel>cllion by force of arms and by
putting down Abolition conspiracies against the
Government by the peaceful means of the bnl
lot-box. The address is ably written ami can
not fail to prove beneficial to the politics of the
State and the country. Let it be read, circula
ted and discussed, so that the people may have
light. •

NAPIER TP., Bedford Co., Aug. 18, '62.
MR. EDITOR:—
Fearing you might think that I had gone
to the "Southern Hkedaderacv," or some Other
place equally as bad, —if any sncli there lie—l
have concluded to let you know that such is not
the case, and that "I still live."
Having nothing of much importance to com
municate, I must confine myself to a few local
facts. The busy time of harvest lias passed a
way at last, and the farmers all appear glad of
it. Though late, yet the harvest was good, and
also lengthy; owing to the scarcity of hands, as
Uncle Sain—Abe rather—has taken, away a
number of men who would still "dance to the
tunc of the scythe and the rake." But the work
is not all done yet. The earth, in performing
its annual revolutions, causes a change of sea
sons, and consequently a change of avocation.
The farmers are busily engaged preparing the
soil for the reception of seed, which in due time
will bring another harvest; and present appear l
ance indicates that a large area will he sown.
Considerable excitement prevails in the com
munity in consequence of the late requisitions
for troops. The realities of war are now begin
ning to be sensibly felt, and those who, in the
commencement of the war, so confidently assert
ed that "the rebellion would be put down in six
I months," appear to be the most alarmed: nyfih
iflfie than they expected. But all are hoping
for the best, and preparing for the worst. It is
evident that blood and treasure must be poured
out, the former like water, and the latter like
sand, ere we can expect to sec the Union as it
was, and the stars and stripes floating over ev
ery foot of soil from Maine to the utmost limits
of Florida and Texas.
But lam digressing. The citizens of Fish
ertown and vicinity had a tine Sabbath School
celebration the IGtli inst. This place is situa
ted in St. Clair township, on the. "Valley Road"
leading from Schellsburg to Gideon D. Trout's
"Spring Mill," about six and a half miles from
the former place and two from the latter, and
about ten miles north-west of Bedford. It is
surrounded by a fertile, well cultivated and weal
thy district, and contains seven dwelling houses,
one blacksmith shop, one store, a school-house,
and a nice church, situated on a beautiful emi
nence. On the morning of the 16th, groups of
happy children—rendered doubly so by the pros
pect in view—with their faces beaming with in
nocent smiles, were seen wending their way to
ward the church; conversing, as they wont, a
bout the rich treat, the pleasant time, and much
pleasure in store for them.
Not only children assembled, but the young
man of firm step, tlie rosy-cheeked lass, trip
ping lightly as a gazelle, the gray haired sire
and in.' 1 tron, with tottering step, whose cheek
was furrowed by the cares of life, and whose
brow was whitened by tbe frosts of many win
ters, all commi.lglcd in the throng, to partici
pate in the exercises, or to be idle spectators.
The scholars, having assembled at the church,
were formed in a procession, followed by the
spectators, and
" With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er its,"
all marched to the shrill notes of the fife and
the stirring sound of the drum to a Ukautiful
grove on the farm of J. O. Hoover. Here a
large table was spread with abundance of the
necessaries and luxuries of life—gotten up in
the most approved style. After all preliminary
arrangements were made, Win. Kirk, Esq., was
called upon to address tho audience. He re
sponded in a brief, but eloquent speech, and was
followed by Mr. Thomas Ridcnour. After the
singing of a liymn the members of the school
were invited to partake of the rich repast spread
before, them, as tokens of the esteem the parent's
held for the labor and conduct of tbe children
during tho school, and the efforts of the super
intendent and teachers to train up the children
"in the way they should go." Although a large
number of spectators had assembled, yet tbe
committee seemed to anticipate their wants, and
abundance was supplied for all. Even the ap
petite of the most voracious epicure could have
been hero appeased. In short, it was a rich
treat, and much praise is duo the committee for
tho regulations, and the ladies for thoir labor in
preparing the repast with which the table was
so profusely covered. The "American Cook
Book" would be u superfluous article in their
hands. After an opportunity had been offered
for all to obtain a portion of tbe staff" of life,
the table was cleared, and the children sought
enjoyment by assembling in groups and engag
ing in the sportive, but innocent amusements of
> childhood. Ladies and gentlemen exorcised their
fcc.al faculties hy c?:. cussing the various topics
of the day, and assembling in the shade of the
giant ouks, that
" high in heaven
Mingled their mossy boughs
to listen to the stirring music that occasionally
rent the air.
But there was one feature, not visible oil for
mer occasions of the same kind, viz: the tanl*
entable condition of our country. The dread
ful realities of the past, the gloomy aspect of
the present) and serious forebodings'of the fu
ture, np[>eared occasionally to depict themselves
in gloom upon many countenances. But finally
concluding to "let the dead past bury its dead,"
every body seemed gay and happy as ever.
During the whole day the utmost good order
prevailed, and nothing occurred to mar the pleas
ure of the occasion. At length the assemblage
was formed into a procession again, and march
ed off the ground, and dismissed; none present
having reason to exclaim diem perdidi/ but all
bciug convinced that
"life is not an empty dream." AJAX.

MK. Epitou :
I spnd herewith an extract from a letter
written by Rev. Dr. Marks, a Presbyterian cler
gyman, now a chaplain In one of tho Pennsyl
vania regiments, who was taken prisoner dur
ing the battle before Richmond. The extract
refers to Adjutant O. 11. Gaither, who died in
a temporary hospital near Richmond. It ap
pears from Dr. Marks' letter, that Mr. Gaither
lived until Thursday, the 17th of July. It was
supposed that he died instantaneously, from a
wound received 011 the 30th of June. The de
ceased was a consistent member of the Presby
terian church in this place. He shrunk from
no duty.- He was true to God, to himself, and
his country. Some of us will never forgot the
fervency of his addresses at the throne of grace
when he led the devotions of the people assem
bled for social prayer. Ile was also a teacher
in the Sabbath .School, from tho time he con
nected himself witli the church, until he left us
for the seat of war. Our friend died in the
service of his country; in the cause of human
ity, beneficent government, and religion. We
mourn his early duath. We loved him ns a bro
ther. We had hoped that God would, restore
liiin to his place in our community and in the
church. Bui he is gone, we believe, to a high
er sphere of activity and enjoyment, to the gen
eral assembly and church of the first born,
which arc enrolled in heaven. There we hope
to meet him, and join hands again where sepa
ration is unknown. A letter received from our
dear friend, shortly before his death, closes with
the following sentence: "If it is God's will that
I should fall in this war, 1 trust he will take me
to himself, where the clash of arms shall be
heard 110 more." R. F. S.
In one of these houses (a farm house near
the scene of battle) I found Adjutant (Blither,
of the 10th Reserves. The hospital was under
the care of Dr. Donnelly, of the 3d Reserves,
who had nobly volunteered to remain on the
battle-field with our wounded men. When I
entered the room where Adjutant Gaither was
lying, I was much struck by his appearance; his
face expressed tine culture and education, and
purity and elevation of character. These im
pressions were confirmed by subsequent acquain
tance. He was wounded in the right breast,
the ball passing through the body, lie had been
left for dead, but was found alive by some of
the Confederate soldiers, and borne to t his house.
He told me in my first interview that he had
been praying to God that some minister of the
Gospel might be sent to his dying bed, to conn
had answered his prayer. lie had been for
years a member of the Presbyterian Church,
and during his life in the army lie had not for
saken his Savior. I have seldom witnessed a
more impressive scene. The dying officer, fan
ned and upheld by enemies; the floor of the
room covered with wounded men in every pos
ture of interest, or distress—some listening with
the greatest anxiety, and others too absorbed in
their pains to hear anything. In the presence
of them all, he bore his testimony, as a dying
man, to the righteousness of our cause; that lie
had no regretTover his early death, for he died
for his country. He likewise spoke of his hope
as a sinner in the mercy of God, through Jesus
Christ; ot his painful sense of unworthincss,
and that lie had accomplished so little of any
value, but that he was not withal afraid to die,
for Christ his Redeemer was mighty to save;
and not by works of righteousness, but by his
mercy and grace he saved us. At the same time
lie indited a letter to his parents, full of grati
tude and thankfulness for the past, and hope for
the future, and of joyful expectation of an eter
nal union in heaven.
This was on Saturday, the sth of July. I
returned on Monday, and found that while ma
ny whom I had seen on my first visit were gone,
the Adjutant had revived and breathed with less
painiuluess; but he was not hopeful of the end,
but felt assured he must die. I bade him fare
well, with no expectation of ever seeing him a
gain. But when I reached Richmond, and at
11 o'clock at night was marched into Prison
No. 1, I was greeted by many familiar voices;
and as 1 turned the light which I bore in my
hand to t);s faces, I found many whom I had
first seen on the field of dentil. To oue of these
oillcers, when I had spoken iO him and congrat
ulated him on his safety in Richmond, I said;
"And the Adjutant?" "lie's there," said his
friend, pointing to a camp bedstead, on which
the wounded man was lying. 1 approached
him; he grasped my hand, and blessed God that
he again saw me. lie again assured me that
he could not live ; that the conflict was all over,
awl lie now longed to be in the bosom of his
Savior; that he felt no fear nor apprehension
of the future. This was Sunday, the 18th of
July; lie did not materially change for the worse
until Wednesday following, when it became
plain he was passing from us. On Thursday
morning, the 17th, he called me to him and said
the struggle was nearly over; that his l'aitb in
Christ continued unwavering, lie asked me to
pray with him, and commend his departing spirit
to his Redeemer. Nearly the last words he ut
tered were: "I have fought a good fight, lliave
finished my course, and henceforth there is laid
up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, &c., &c.
As I repeated the first words of the 23d
Psalm, ho took up the words and repeated much
of the Psalm, saying, with an eye brightened
apparently by the light of another world, and a
smiling face, "Though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for
thou art with me, and thy rod and staff com
fort, me." His end was peace. About 2 o'clock,
P. M , he passed from us, and went up, we hope,
from the blood-stain ' ' '
in the spotless robes of to ..... .
'.I bus died a young man of tbo greatest prom
bo, whom tc know - i-> lev:; / ho, if God
had been pleased to continue him with us, wouht!

Petty Tyranny.
ILvßHlsfttmb, Pa, August 6.—Brig. Hen.
Wadsworth, Provost Marshal of the District
of Columbia, arrived here at an early hour
this morning, and acting under orders from the
War Department arrested.the cditoi's and pub
lishers of the Patriot and Union, on the charge
of issuing posters of a treasonable character and
calculated to embarrass and retard recruiting
throughout the States. The whole party left for
Washington at eight this morning.
The following is the "poster in question,
which was printed and posted up at various
places in the city of llarrisburg, on Monday
morning last:
"The great General James Lane litis arrived
in this city to-day, and will address the colored
citizens of llarrisburg in front of the Market
House at four o'clock this (Monday) afternoon.
Men and Brethren come, come along! The Gov
ernment having granted permission to raise two
COLORED REGIMENTS, he will be able te
swear in all able bodied" colored men who may
offer, and he confidently expects to raise one
company in this place. Arms, equipments, uni
forms, pay, rations, and bounty the same as re
ceived by white soldiers, and no distinction tcill
be mailt. Come one, come all!"
©-We since learn that the editors of the Pa
triot have been consigned to a prison in Wash
ington City. We think history is without a
parallel for such petty tyranny. The joke could
honestly be construed to be nothing but a fling
at the cry just now making by the abolition
press in favor of enlisting negroes. If the edi
tors of the Patriot and Union were guilty of an
attempt to retard volunteering how much more
guilty are such papers as the Pittsburg Gazette,
and New York Tribune , that daily advocate the
enlistment of negroes; Gov. Sprague of Rhode
Island who has accepted several regiments of
negroes, and Jim Lane who had declared' his
intention to do the same thing. But a few daytf
ago the Republican press of Pittsburg announ
ced with a flourish of triumph that Jim Lane
had been authorized by the President to raise a
regiment of colored volunteers. Why were they
not arrested. Wo think the acceptance of ne
gro soldiers would retard volunteering, and
therefore he that earnestly recommends it is do
ing the Union a great wrong and he that dis
countenances it, by a burlesque or otherwise,
doing good. By this petty act of partizan tyr
anny the Republicans tacitly acknowledge that
their advocacy of negro enlistments is for the
purpose of injuring the cause. If it is treason
to create the impression that hegroes are to be
accepted It cannot be patriotic to ut-ge their ac
ceptance!
The determination of those in power appears
to be to let abolitionists utter treason whenever
and wherever they please, but to rule the Dc
! moeraey with a rod of iron. We would be the
j.first to condemn any thing calculated to dissuade
I those who wish to do so, from volunteering,
' but in view of the fact that almost every repub
lican paper in the country loudly advocated the
acceptance of negro volunteers, we cannot but
regard this instance of despotism as equal to
any found in Europe, and this arrest as estab
: lishing a precedent for the arrest of any demo
cratic editor who honestly exposes the, policy of
• "e' * vc ii t ," )llc nn party. If this is the intention

of that place, numbering, 3,000.
A movement was made on the front bv Ste
venson, while General Burton gained the rear
by force marches and surrounded the federal for
