PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA. —We regret to have to state that some portion of the Pennsylvania militia assembled recently for the defense of their State, object to marching into Maryland to de fend Pennsylvania there from invasion. No of- I ficial information of the fact has reached here, we npprehend, though it is doubtless true. It cannot be possible that a storm of public opin ion at home will fail to cure the recreants of •uob shameless poltroonery in twenty-four hours. ] [ Washington Star. j "Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend!" ex claimed the poet, and Pennsylvania™ may ap propriately adopt his language with reference to the cowardly maligner who is the author of the above. Pennsylvania soldiers twice saved the Capitol, whilst this miserable defamer sat scrawl ing bis diatribes in his easy chair, within the confines of the beleaguered city. Pennsylvania has sent ISO,OOO volunteers for the suppression ot the rebellion, and to-day is ready to yield without a murmur to the call of the President for more men.

Another Traitor in Bedford. According to the calculations of the Bedford Inquirer, the number of traitors in our "ancient borough," was wont to "foot up" roundly to the sum of just one score. "The twenty," how ever, have had an accession to their ranks, and the twenty-first —astounding as it may appear— is that valiant war man, tho fire-eating, bullet chewing, powder-smelling, rebel-swallowing pa triot of the Inquirer. After cursing and übu sing everybody who dared to speak of peace, after howling for the prosecution of the war like a very blood-hound, after even pursuing ministers of the gospel into the pulpit, because their preaching was not for bloodshed and car nage, this pink of patriotism, this shining light of "loyalty," turns a handspring into the ranks of the "peace men," and like another Arnold, false to all his past course, false to the doctrines which he so violently asserted, false to the par ty for whom he assumes to speak, false to his own integrity as a man and an editor, he at once undertakes to prove that "peace men" are right, even in taking an oath by which their country will be forever deprived of their servi ces as soldiers. Vciily, this twenty-first traitor deserves to be considered the arch-conspirator among the friends of Jeff Davis in Bedford. Says this new-fledged "peace man," the "non resistants and "non-combatants" who swear themselves out of the draft, have founded their creeds upon "their Bibles and taken its teaches as the basis of their religion." [Perhaps wc ought not to have italicised its and teaches, as such literary blunders may impress our readers with the idea that we are after rather smnll game.] And, says our "peace" editor, further, the Bible commands "Thou shalt not kill." Ex. 20: 12, and "That ye resist not evil, but who soever shall smite thee on thy right check, turn to him the other also," Matt. 5: 39. Now, since Mr. Durborrow makes this justification for his peace friends, we think we have the right to ask him whether he believes the Bible? and, if so, whether, according to his own argument, he hasnotcommitted agreat sin in supporting a war in which so many men have been butchered in cold blood? And again wc would ask him, have not his "swearing-out" friends violated their own religion in "paying bounties" (as he boasts they did) to send other men to this war to slay their fellow creatures? These questions he can answer at his leisure, but we do hope he will I not be as long about it as he has beon in pro ducing the name of his informer concerning the treason of Andy Crisman. But, to come to the marrow of this bone of' contention; when we wrote our squib aking whether "men who talk in favor of the war and urge others to enlist, and then when a draft comes, swear themselves out of it on account of their 'conscientious scruples,' ought to have the rights and privileges of citizens who are com pelled to fight for their country," we meant just what we said; no more, no less. We referred to no particular religious sect, for we hold that, people, in this country, have the right "to wor ship God according to the dictates of their own consciences," even if they don't pray for the President, or the war, and, therefore, we made no discrimination as to sectarian proclivities. But we do assert, what we most firmly believe, that a man who gives bounties for the purpose of inducing others to enlist as soldiers, or who voluntarily uses his efforts to procure enlistments, or who by his public conversation encourages men in the belief (hat it is right to fight in this war, or who docs any act of his own free will, calculated to help on the war, and then swears that he has conscientious scruples against bear ing arms, and thus escapes what lie desires oth ers to do, is a perjurer and u knave. Such a man cannot be a Tunkcr or a Friend. He can not be a true member of any Christian society, lie is fit only for the companionship of convicts j and outlaws. But as for those persons, be they Tunkers, Friends, or of any other sect, who have always discountenanced this war, who have never asked others to enlist, who have endea vored to prevent sirife and bloodshed between the North and the South, by their religious as well as their political walk and conversation, wc say they are perfectly consistent in taking the oath which exempts them from the draft. It is only those who "have talked in favor of the war and urged others to enlist," that are to be condemned, in our view, for making the plea of conscience when a draft comes. To conclude, wc congratulate the "Republi can" party, the war party par excellence, that they have a "peace" editor in their midst, who reprovingly points them to the sacred volume, and quotes for their instruction, " Thou shalt not kdir MoPherson and the War. We call upon all men who desire to sec our armies victorious and the war brought to an early and successful termination, to vote against Ldward McPhcrson, the Abolition candidate for Congress in this district. McPherson voted for the AbolitioTi of slavery in the District of Columbia, for the and for the other ultra enactments of the late Congress, which drove thousands of Southern men into the Rebel army, and united the people of the seceded states as one man against the Govern ment. From .the date of the passage of those unfortunate laws, we can reckon the long cate gory of our military disasters. Prior to those enactments and wlnlst the Crittenden resolution was yet in force, we had victory after victory, and robeldom had lost more than half its terri tory. But what is the story since the adoption by Congress of ultra measures? Defeat, disgrace, disaster make up the sad and shameful record. W r ith this practical lesson before them, can the people trust their beet interests any longer in the hands of radicals and fanaticsT Wc, who ihftvo brothers, or sons in the army, have a prae tical, a vital, nay, an almost sacred concern in this mptter. Shall we be recreant, not only to our country, but to our friends and our kindred? Latest War News. The latest news from the seat of war, is that the Rebels have succeeded in getting their whole army safely back to Virginia—minus their losses at Middlctown, Boonsboro' and Slmrpsburg. The loss on each side, at the last named place, was 10,000, and the battle there is represented to have been the fiercest contest of the war. Gen. McClcllan gives the assurance that Penn sylvania and Maryland are now safe. We do not give particulars of the battles, as there arc no two reports alike that have yet fallen under our notice, and we therefore, wait till we can give the truth. Anniversary Meeting. The anniversary of the adoption of the Con stitution was celebrated in the Court House in this place on the evening of the 17th inst. The meeting was called to order and MICIIAF.I. REED, Esq., placed in the chair, after which the fol lowing gentlemen were chosen Vice Presidents: David Evans, of Monroe township, Jacob Bowser, of Colernin, John Amos, of Bedford, and George W. Gump, of Napier. John J. Potter, of Middle Woodljerry town ship, E. F. Kerr, of West Providence, F. Stock man, of Bloody Run Bor., and John Palmer, Esq., of Bedford Bor., were chosen Secretaries. The object of the meeting was stated by Hon. Wm. P. Schell, after which the Constitution of the United States was read by John" Palmer, Esq. Speeches were then made by Col. J. W. Tate, Hon. John Cessna. Mnj. S. H. Tate, 0. E. Shannon. Esq., John Palmer, Esq. and B. F. Meyers, Esq. After which the meeting ad journed with three cheers for the Constitution and the Union. General OoSroth. We think the Democracy of this Congression al district have reason to congratulate themselves on the nomination of General A. H. Coffroth, of Somerset, as their candidate for Congress. Though comparatively a young man, he has been recognized for a number of years among the leaders of the Somerset bar, which has been long distinguished for the ability of its members. Indeed there is no spot in the State which has furnished the State, and the nation more talent in proportion to its population than Somerset county. The position of Gen. Coffroth at home, and the fact that he is recognized as the leader of the Democracy there, is sufficient evidence of his capacity and fitness to fill the position for which he has l>ccn nominated. Could Gen. Coffroth lie sent to represent this district, at Washington, it would <io much toward check ing the fanatical and ruinous course which has been persisted in by the Republican majority in the present Congress. The Abolitionism of Mat liody has done much toward completing the ru in of our once happy country. Of alf the acts passed by them, scarcely a single one can be called wise or judicious. By thorn the South has been made a unit, and the North divided and distracted, and to them is chiefly owin** the ill success of our arms. The blood of many thousands of brave men, whose lives might have been saved, calls from the ground against them. Their course has lent ten-fold atrocity to the ex isting war, and indefinitely delayed the cherish ed hope of friends for the Union. The people must turn out every man of them, who Ims iden tified himself with the mad schemes of the ultra Abolitionists. Among them is Edward Mc- Phereon, who has been little else than an echo of the voice of old Thad. Ssevens—a man who carries his love for the negro so far as to have illustrated it for years by practical amalgama tion. Every vote of Mr. McPhorson was with the radicals, and against the conservative men of his own party ; his name and the name of Stevens stood side by side all (he lime. We do not see how any conservative Republican can vote for him, and we arc sure many will refuse to do so. Let the masses who arc opposed to Abolitionism rally to the support of General Coffroth, who, while in favor of a vigorous prosecution of war, insists that it shall ho car ried on for the single great purpose of resto ring the Union as it was, under the Constitu tion which forms the basis of all our liberties. Until the halls of Congress aro filled with a dif ferent style of men from those now holding scats, we see no hope of a restoration of the Union —the only prospect before us, under the present rule, being a desolating strife, the end of which no man can see.— [Fulton Democmt. A, H, Coflroth, Esq. This gentleman has been nominated by the Congressional Conference, as the Democratic candidate for Congress. Mr. Coflroth always has been, and still is one of the firm, unflinching Democrats of the coun ty. lie has always nobly stood up for the men and principles of the party; always opposed coalition with other parties, whose doctrines were considered heresies, and invariably stood by the platform of the party. lie is one of our self-made men, having nothing but his native talent and his character for integrity, com bined with strong energy to help him along. He was, in his earliest manhood, the editor of the Democratic journal of thecounty, and earn ed for himself an honorable position among the editorial fraternity. Mr. Coflroth is so 'well known in this county, that we can say nothing to add to his high standing. Ho is deserving of the vote of all the Democrats and conservative men, nnd we appeal to our Democratic brethren, to give him every vote in the party. Rcmem ber, he is one of those that stood by the p-rty, when in this county, it was charged as treason, to stand by the great old Constitutional party; one of those who resolved that the Democratic party should not die, as long as we had a Union aiul a Constitution to defend. Somerset Democrat. Our Senatorial Nominee, In the nomination of Mr. Noble, the confer ees did their whole duty. No man in the dis trict is more deserving, none more popular and none more capable. He is one of Bedford's most prominent citizens; honest, capable, and as true a Democrat BR this Commonwealth can produce.—He is one of the men for the times; a Democrat who thought ho could serve his country best by adhering to the old Constitu tional pnrty. Mr. Noble will run every Dem ocratic vote in our county and many more.

EDITOR:— At the request and wishes of the Bedford county boys in our company, I send you the within roll of company I), 188, P. V., as re corded in the dacrijrtive record. We are now encamped near the Relay-House, seven miles south-west of Baltimore, at the junction, where the railroad from Washington intersects the Bal timore and Ohio railroad. Our camp is situa ted on the grounds of a rich farmer, which is beautifully decorated with ornamental and for est trees, shrubbery, &e., with an apple orchard on one side, and a peach orchard on the other. Fort Wadsworth is located between us and the railroad, with her dogs of war pointing in every direction to waylay the rebels should they at tempt to disturb us. The boys are generally well, and have so far kept up a good appearance, and seem to be as well satisfied as can be ex pected, with a few exceptions. We arc getting along very well, and are being initiated about as fast as you generally see soldiers initiated in to service. We have been out, either on guard or picket duty, for the last thrcg or four nights in succession, which is not very pleasant, espo cially of a rainy night. Part of our regiment has been out picketing over a week. This junc tion seems to be a very important point, from the fact that reinforcements are here daily. This afternoon, one battery of Col. Cochran's artil lery regiment came into our camp. There are several regiments of infantry encamped within gunshot, and some cavalry. From indications we will have a chance to try our hands ere ma ny days. The cars are stopped on the Balti more and Ohio railroad. They run up 8 miles above us to Ellicott's Mills. Reports come in frequently that we will be attacked in order to stop or cut off the communication from Balti more and Washington. We have a poor chance for drilling, but live in hope of better opportu nities in the future. If you think this worthy of note in your valuable sheet, for the benefit of our friends please insert, and oblige, yours &c., JONATHAN SNIDER. P. S.

[For thu Bedford Gazette.] CAMP NEAR FORT WORTH, Va., J September 10, 18G2. J MR. EDITOR: A few lines more from me may not be un interesting to you and your numerous readers. For the last week, we have been rusticating on the Virginia bank of the broad Potomac river. You are, 1 suppose, well aware that we had to "skedaddle" buck from the Rapidan river. Our regiment was detached from Ruford's brigade, to guard the baggage train and save the railroad, if possible, so that we did not take part in the Inst battles in front of Washington, but we were in none the less danger for all that. The even ing before our arrival at Catlett's station, down the Culpepper railroad, whither the baggage train had gone, the rebels had dashed in and burnt 17 wagons, captured a number of men and about 200 horses, all of which have since liecn recaptured by a portion of our brigade. The eveVuTg we arrived at the station, our com pany was ordered out on scouting duty, and were fired at by a party of our own pickets, we being mistaken by them for rebels, in the dark, through negligence in some one in command. From there we moved down to Bristol Station, after the rebels had burned one of the railroad bridges, and torn up the track for a considera ble distance. We guarded the workmen until they repnired the road, so that the cars could be run together at Bristol station. Here the train of cars was almost one mile long, about 150 cars and five locomotives. On Sunday morn ing, August 30, the whole train was destroyed by fire, together with about $185,000 worth of government stores, after the soldiers had helped themselves to what they wanted and as much as they could carry. The morning wns cloudy and rainy, and tho scene was terribly sublime. The flames shot up through the air with great rapidity and the smoke rolled up in thick black volumes and vanished in the air. There wns a large amount of ammunition destroyed, as it would burst, it would sound like the report of heavy artillery. The property was destroyed to prevent it front fulling into the hands of the rebels, who were within a short distance of us at the time. Immediately after tho destruction of the cars wo took up the line of march tow ards Centreville, and after being out on picket in force on Monday night, we again started, and :ifU\r inarching all day and uigbt, we found our selves Inside of our own army lines, close to Alexandria, Va. Here we aro, resting after the hardships and privations of six weeks of con tinued marching and guarding. "Stonewall" Jackson has proven himself too much lor lis, and instead of us making hirtl "skedaddle," lie has made us take the back tmck, and sent Us back in sight of our Capitol rather sqpticr than we expected. I can give you no account of the late battles. You know more than I do, as we have to look to the Eastern papers for our information, al though within hearing distance of the cannons all the time. Our loss was very heavy, about 12,000 killed, wounded and taken prisoners. The army lias been again assigned to the com mand of Gen. McClelliitt, which creates univer sal satisfaction, I think he is fully able to wipe out this rebellion, if freed from afire in bis rear by enemies at home. By slandering McClcllan, his enemies at home indirectly give aid and com fort to the rebels. We can enjoy ourselves here taking a look at our beloved Capital, every now and then. We will have to bide our time until McClcllan sees fit to take us into the field again. The boys from your county arc well. Those lately en listed from there arc in our immediate vicinity. More hereafter. Yours trnlv, BLOODY RUN. BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 16, 1862. To the Editor of the lied ford Gaectte: SIR : —I have been in the Loyal Army of the Great Republic, since November 18, 1861, and and would like, now, to write a short account of my travels, &o. I enlisted at Sehellsbnrg, in the 101 st Rcgt., Pa. Vols., Company G, un der Captain W. B. Spray. We left Sehellsbnrg on the 10th of November, 1861, and proceeded from thence to Ilarrisburg, Pa , where wo cam ped till Feb. 27th when we left Ilarrisburg for Washington, and the seat of war; afterwards we were ordered to the loyal armies in Virginia. The first engagement I was in, was at Will iamsburg, on the -Ith day of Mny, but our regiment acting as a reserve, We suffered little or no loss, upon this occasion—Shortly after this we were ordered to fall back to the James river, which no doubt many of your readers are aware was accomplished by the whole army under the able direction of our well known and excellent leader, G. 15. McClellan. After we arrived at James river, tny affliction being so great that I could not stand the hardships which necessarily befall soldiers, I was sent with many others to the Hospital at Washington Citv, and after remaining there about two months, I was removed to the hospital I now write from. I have to regret that I shall not be able again to join my old company, being greatly afflicted with rheumatism, which makes me a perfect cripple at certain times. Of the hospital lam now in, Dr. S. W. Curry is the Medical Officer in charge, who is ever in attendance to sooth the pains of the afflicted. The nurses, Mr. J. A. Carter and Mr. John Dunn, both of Balti more, are unremitting in their services to the soldier of the good cause. I must now bring my remarks to a close, and hope I have not tres passed upon your valuable columns too long. May God give success to the Old Flag, is the earnest wish of Your most humble servant, GEORGE J. ROCK. Great Speech of Senator Browning. lion. O. 11. Browning, U. S. Senator from Illinois, recently addressed a large meeting of his fellow citizens, at Quincy, Illinois. We copy the following report of his speech from the Quincy Herald , asking our readers to bear in mind that Mr. Browning is and has always been a "Republican"; "Mr. Browning explained his position upon 1 the confiscation question, and did it to the sat isfaction and approval of a vast majority of those who heard him. He said that Congress had no power to confiscate property, and that confisca tion was a humbug. If the power of confis cation existed anywhere, it existed in the Pres ident by the virtue of his office, as Coinuiander in-chief of our armies. . The Constitution conferred no such power on Congress, find he is sworn to support the Consti tution. lie could not support the confiscation hill and Constitution too, so he supported the Constitution and opposed confiscation. Upon this question lie stood with the President. The same was true upon the question of arming the negroes—We was opposed to arming them and so was the President. He was for the Union as it was, and the Constitution as it is. I> the utterance of these truly patriotic sentiments, Mr. Browning was loudly and enthusiastically applauded.] Mr. Browning denounced the abolitionists in unmeasured terms. lie denounced the aboli tion leaders in the United States Senate—nam ing Sumner, Wilson and others—as disloyal— traitors to the country—wild, deluded, crazy fanatics, who were bent upon the destruction of the government. He had no sympathy with tliern, and had refused to co-operate with them, and should continue to do so. He had marked out his course, and should pursue it. It mattered not that some of his old and per sonal and political friends had turned against him—lie was for the Union as it was and the Constitution as it is, and upon that platform he intended to stand, though every dollar's worth of property that he owned in tho world should be sacrificed or destroved. lie was interrupted by an Abolitionist present, who charged him with having gone over to the Democrats. Mr. Drowning responded that he was ready to go over to the Democrats or to any other par ty, or to act with patriotic men, to whatever party they might belong, who were for the Uui on and the Constitution. Mr. It. then asked the brazen-faced Abolition ist if he would lie willing to receive the South back in the Union, with all their constitutional rights if the rebels would lay down their arms to-morrow? As might lie expected, the crazv fanatic replied no——he would not!—he would not be willing to receive the South back unless they would first abolish slavery. Mr. Drowning said that was just as he sup posed -these Abolitionists were not in favor of the Union and the Constitution, but would sac rifice both, and bring the liberties of the people beyond the hopes of resurrection, if they could but accomplish their wicked and traitorous de sign." Another Abolition fanatic to know of Mr. D. whether he would vote in favor of emancipating the slaves if he believed such emancipation would put an end to the war.— "No, sir," said Mr. B. "I would not give such a vote, because I have sworn to support, the Constitution; under that Constitution _wo have no power to emancipate slaves." At this point, the Rev. Mr. King who was in the audience, was heard to say, Mr. Browning "is a traitor to lus country." Mr. ft. did not probably hear the remark, as he did not condescend to notice it. | Mr. It. commented at considerable length un [ on the course of certain Abolition journals, that have devoted much of their time and space to denunciations of our Generals in the field, and so little of thier space to denunciations of the rebel commanders. He did not believe them to be loyal, and if they should take an oath to sun, port the Government he would not believe their oath. In regard to the war, he Was for Its vigorous enciaetic and successful prosecution. ll e fold his iTcnublican friends that they could not libpo to bring the war to a successful issue if thMr made it a war for the negro. The Democrats, he said, would not co-operate in a war of that sort. But confine it to the legitimate, rightful object—let it continue to lie, as it has been from the beginning, a war for the Constitution iind Union, and the Democrats would work and fight shoulder to shoulder with the Republicans—in. deed, all the. patriots, of whatever party, would work together."
