BEDFORD GAZETTE, B. F. MEYERS, EDITOR. FRIDAY, V t t t i : t ; OCTOBER 24, 1862. ■J—'J _ ... . Abolition Dailies. The enemies of the Constitution in the North could never have mustered a corporal's guard of votes, had not the people been misled by a mendacious and unscrupulous press. The Tri bune, Times and Post, of New York city, and the North American, News, Bulletin, Press and Inquirer, Philadelphia, have been most efficient in the seduction of the public mind from the path of political virtue. Let conservative men put their heels upon these detestable spawn ings of Abolitionism. Most of these dan gerous sheets have, from time to time, rec ommended the "crushing out'' of Denocratic newspapers by force of arms. It is our turn, now, to talk of crushing out. But we shall not ask our friends to mob the proprietors of these pernicious journals, nor to treat them with uny violence whatever. We shall only recom mend that conservative men withdraw their: support from them and leave them to draw life j and nutriment from their own party, the aboli tionists. Especially would we invoke the at tention of Democrats to the conduct of the Philadelphia Inquirer. In 18G0, when that sheet emerged from its old fogy chrysalis state and ex panded into the sensation butterfly which it now is, a profession of neutralityand conservatism in politics, on the part of its proprietor, induced numbers of Democrats to become its friends and supporters. In 1861, it supported the Demo cratic nominees for municipal offices in Phila delphia, for and in consideration of a large slice of the official advertising. In 1862, the Dem ocratic Sheriff having been ousted from office by a decision of Court, and no more printing to lie obtained from the Democracy, the Inqui rer comes out in the most vehement articles a gainst the Democratic ticket and exerts all its influence to give success to Abolitionism. Now, what arc Democrats to think of such a politi cal thimble rigger as this flashy and frothy In quirer? Wo say that the time when newspapers of this stripe could be tolerated has gone by. The people want straight forward, decided and firm exponents of principle in their leading news papers. Down, therefore, with these monsters of sensatioriism ! Down with your N. Y. Her alds and your crats! Friends of tho Constitution! support the papers that support your doctrines. 1 f you want an evening daily subscribe for the Philadelphia Evening Journal or the N. Y. Express. If you want a morning daily, take the Philadelphia Constitu tional Union , or the Ilarrisburg Patriot , the Pittsburg Post, or the N. Y. Journal of Com merce. All these papers are edited with ability and they arc the organs of that sentiment which you and we believe must save the country. Shall this matter be attended to? *rWe understand that returns are to be trumped up from the army to bo used in count ing out John L. Dawson. Jesse Lazear and W. H. Miller from seats in Congress to which they have been elected by the people. We say to the Democrats of those districts, stand up for your rights! You shall not be defrauded though ev ery Democrat in the state must take up arras to put down the rascals that are trying to do it. The people will sec that the election laws are o- Iwyed. WOn election night, when the lying telegfflnh had deluded poor John Forney into the belief that Pennsylvania had gone for the Abolition ticket by "50,600 majority," (as ho claimed it had) he (Forney) called fw "that grand nation al song," entitled "Old John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave!" Little did he think that he was calling for the funeral dirge of Ab olitionism. Poor fellow! His "oocupation is gone!" O-Wc return thanks to our lady friends, Mrs. Hush, Miss Laura Washabaugh and Miss Mary Russell for the very fine grapes with which they had the kindness to present our family. La dies, you shall be gratefully (we had almost said grape-fully) remembered. fyOhio, Indiana and Pennsylvania have pro nounced most emphatically against Lincoln's proclamation. How's the nigger, by this time, Mr. Inquirer, eh ? O-Mr. Jacob Anders, of St. Clair township, brought to town, a few days ago, a beet which measured 30 inches in circumference. Who can beat it T fir The defeat of Galusha A. Grow (Speak er of the present Congress) S S. Blair and Ed. McPherson, is one of the most gratifying signs of the times. Thank heaven, the people are coming to their senses! ft* Judge Noble's majority in this county is 765, —a splcpdid endorsement at home; John Ceesna'e 1209 (rather tall); Andrew Crisman's 555 (slightly heavy on the Inquirer ); Solomon Rcighard's 628 (steep on some folks); John 11. Barton's 629. WThc Draft came off on Thursday last and hit many of our old friends, for'whose fate we are heartily sorry. We have been unable to obtain a list of the persons drafted. A BASE ATTEMPT AT FRAUD. Freemen, Look to Your Rights! w e are informed that a systematic effort is being made by the Abolition wire-pullers to de fraud the people of this state, out of their choice for representatives iu Congress. Even in this district, where the people have chosen Gen. Coffroth by 550 majority over his competitor, these unmitigated scoundrels are making an at tempt to prevent his obtaining a certificate of election. In Adams county, the ten Abolition Keturn Judges refused t*fsi<fh the return (al though they admitted that the figures and every thing else were right) alleging that they could not do so until the Military vote was returned. Now these petty tricksters knew that the Su preme Court has declared unconstitutional the law under which the soldiers last year cast their votes.—that in consequence of this decision, the Democratic Slierifi' of Philadelphia, who wase lected by the army vote, was ousted from his office but a few days ago,—and that Governor Cur tin on account of this judicial decision, did not as last year, issue his proclamation to tho sol diers declaring their right to vote. But, not withstanding all this, it scents that the vote of their jxirty in the army was taken by some un authorized persons and is now to bo forced into the count in spite of law and in spite of , the wishes of a law-abiding people. In tho first place we have no fear that this bold scheme to defraud the voters of tins Congressional District, will be successful. But in the second place, we give fair notice to the shameless rascals who are trying this game, that, if they persist in their fraudulent efforts they trill have to meet two thou sand stalwart men from the hilts of old Bed ford, each with a rifle on his shoulder and at least fifty bullets in fus shot-pouch- Ills register here our solemn determination to resist, the consummation of this fraud even unto blood. Democrats of Bed ford county! Let us see that the laws are obey ed ! Bo ready for the emergency! The Result in Bedford County. We have no words to express our gratifica tion at the verdict of the people of Bedford county, at tlic late election, upon the issues pre sented by the Administration at Washington and its pimps and parasites in the North. The Democratic State Ticket represented, first, the idea of a prosecution of the existing war solely forthe roostablishmeutof the broken authority of the Constitution and for the restoration of the Union as it was, in contradistinction from a war for conquest, or for the the liber ation of the negroes; secondly, the sanctity of the right to the writ of Habeas Corpus in the States not in rebellion, the freedom of speech and of the press, denying the doctrine that our form of government can rest upon any such principle as state necessitty; thirdly antagonism to the conduct of the war by the' Administration, its corruptions, extravagance, mismanagement and general imbecility. These were the main issues passed upon at the late election, and the true Union men of Bedford county, by tl.o o vcrwhclming majority of (525, decided that the Constitution shall be preserved as it is and the Union restored as it was, —that there shall be 110 war for the liberation of negro slaves, nor for the conquest or subjugation of the South, —that there shall be no arbitrary arrests, no throwinginto prison without trial—that freemen shall be allowed to speak and print their senti ments, without hindrance or molestation, —that the President (much less any of his underlings, military or civil) cannot disregard the laws, be cause in his judgment the necessity of the state may require him to do so, —that the Adminis tration of the Government has been corrupt, imbecile and hurtful to the best interests of the nation. These things were produced in in dictment against the Abolition representatives of the Administration, by the Bedford Gazette, from time to to time, during the past year and for thus acting as the attorney of the people, we were denounced as a "traitor" and a "seces sionist," and were threatened with mob violence, provost marshals anil all the tortures of the Abolition inquisition, lhit, the people have de cided the case in our favor, —-decided it in the most emphatic manner, —and we can now turn upon our malignant adversaries and warn them of the consequences if they do not become bet ter citizens, better natriots and better neighbors. Ah, you snenking, snivelling, cowardly miscre ants, who have maligned and traduced us for holding the sentiments entertained by a large majority of the people, where arc ye now. Crawl into your hiding places, ye vipers, for the vengeance of the people is at hand ! CapTho Congressional Return Judges from Adams, Bedford, Fulton and Franklin, met in Chnmbersburg, on Tuesday last, counted the vote and issued the certificate of election to Gen. A. 11. Coffroth. Somerset was not rep resented. The presumption is that the Somer set Judge was deterred from being present by the well known fact (in Somerset county), that Gen. Coffroth and his Virginia secession relative had arranged with Frank Hughes for his cap ture by Stuart's rebel cavalry, should he take the return of his county to Chambcrsburg! ©■We arc informed that the ten mulish re turn judges of Adams county, have been pros ecuted for misdemeanor in office. C?*l)r. Noble (son of Hon. Jos. B. Noble, of this county) has resigned his commission as sur geon in the army, and has returned to his old home in South Woodberry. The Doctor was with the Burnside expedition and shared all the perils and hardships endured by that gallant di vision of the army. is our mournful duty to nnnounco the death of Maj. JOHN WATSON, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of this county. He died in I'hiladelphia on Tuesday last. The Vote for Congress. ! The following is the vote for Congress in this Congressional District: Coffroth, Dem. McPherson, A. Adams, 206!) 2517 Bedford, 2332 1686 Franklin, 3147 3124 Fulton, 292 maj Somerset, 877 maj. 8710 8204 8204 Coffroth's maj. 536 The Vote for Senator.* The vote for Senator was not counted on Tuesday last, as required by law. Somerset did not send a return judge, and the judges from the other two counties did not act. We are, therefore, at a loss to know how the offi cial vote stands, or whether a Senator was elec ted or not. So far as the action of the return judges is concerned, the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Wharton, is not filled. An unofficial statement of the vote is as follows; Noble, Dem. Stutzman, A. Bedford, 2393 1628 Huntingdon, 1838 2470 Somerset, 1397 2498 3?" We would have been rejoiced to have had the army vote taken, (for it would have been largely democratic) had not the Supreme Court, through the motion of John Thompson, the Re publican candidate for Sheriff of Philadelphia, decided that the law under which the soldiers last year voted, is unconstitutional and void.— The Democrats considered themselves bound by tills decision and did not forward tickets to their friends in the army. Notwithstanding, when the Democratic Soldiers found their Abolition friends voting, sonic of them wrote their own Mete and also cast their ballots. For instance in MePherson's company, from Adams county, (the company which he raised and afterwards deserted) Gen. Coffroth had 2 majority over bis competitor, the ex-Captain. Congressional Election Laws. lly the 81st section of the Election Law pas sed 2d July, 1839, the Congressional District Return Judges are required to meet on the sev enth day after the Klection. In the act of Ist of My> 1301, districting the State for Congress, it is enacted that the district return Judges shall meet in pursuance of the 81st seetionof the Act of 1839, referred to above. Uy the Act of the 10th of April, 1802, re organizing the Congressional districts, it is pre scribed that the returns shall be made in the same manner as directed in the Act of Ist of May, 1861. And in neither of the Acts of 1801 and 1802 are any of the provisions in regard to the "Ar my vote" adopted! There is but ONE day fixed r.r LAW for the meeting of Congressional Return Judges, and that is THE SEVENTH I>AY AFTER THE ELECTION ! How will the Abolitionists get over this? They have got the Return Judges into a beau tiful snap!— Gettysburg Compiler. MP Just previous to the election of 18(11 Clov,, Curtiu iooacd a proclamation authorizing an ar my vote. Subsequently the law was pronoun ced UNCONSTITUTIONAL by the Supreme Court. Therefore the Governor did not issue a procla mation for an army vote at the election of Tues day last. Did McConaughy's Hot urn Judges think of this when they followed his lawless lead on I'riday ?— Gettysburg Compiler. CvT I'he Patriot $ Union, of Saturday, says: "If the Abolitionists dare to use a partial ar my vote to change the result of Tuesday's elec tion—or resort to any other base trick to defeat the expressed will of the people there will bo REV OLIiIION! * * We warn these miscreants that if they persist (n their infamous and law less work, an outraged and indignant people will assert tho majesty and supremacy of the laws, by visiting on their heads the most fear ful retribution." The Other Side "of the Picture. Who is prepared to say what aday may bring forth ? Wednesday our morning and evening Abolition cotemporurics, were as jubilant as though they had succeeded in securing the com mand of the army for Fremont. To-day they are as desponding as though they had not a friend on earth. Good news travels slowlv, but it comes idong at last. Little by little the clouds which overhung Democratic skies floated away, and to-day all is glorious sunshine. Democra cy h. u . triumphed, and Abolition is defeated, rout ed, demoralized. Pennsylvania has spoken and Abolition cowers at her thunder tones. It is amusing to read the watery lucubrations | of the liulletin upon the results of the election. Yesterday they were as jubilant as was John W. Forney, when he culled for that song on Tuesday night—to-day it has "apprehensions" that all is not right. It finds an excuso for the defeat of Galusha A. Grow, in the stale lie that the Union men of Grow's district had all gone to war. It palliates the defeat of Air. Mel'her- I son by saying, "that tho geographical position ! of this district naturally creates more of sym pathy with secession than is to be found in oth er parts of the State, and besides the recent reb el raid diverted tho Union men from political labor while it encouraged Democracy to renew ed efforts." Tho pcoplo of Grow's district defeat him because their district is in the extreme northern part of the State, while the people of Mcl'herson's district defeat him because his district is in the extreme south! Sound reasoning that—worthy of a Dogberry. Hut what has the ftltlletin to say of Schuyl kill and Luzerne, and Northampton and Lehigh, and Carbon and Wayne, and Monroeand Bucks, and Montgomery ? These counties are neither on tho extreme north or south. They are to a great extent removed from either influence, and yet they are overwhelmingly Democratic. "Cease, vipers, you are gnawing a file !" For once in your lives come out like honest men and own up to the fact—that you have been defeat ed, wofully, unmistakably defeated, and that your defeat is not attributable to geographical positions, nor to local causes, but to that most unholy of all unholy political causes—the pros titution of the country and all its l>eßt interests to the base purpose of Abolition.—Constitution al Union. 49* It is now conceded that the Democratic State Ticket is elected by about 3,000 majority. ' wlowa is reported for the Abolitionists. DEMOCRACY dll! The smoke of the great political battle of the 14th of October, gradually clears away and the sun of Constitutional Liberty appears high in the heaven. The Democracy have ris en in their might and overwhelmed the enemies of the constitution. PENNSYLVANIA is redeemed. The Democrats have defeated at least fourteen of the twenty-four nominees of the Abolitionists for Congress, elected 54 of the 100 members of the lo Wer bouse of the State Legislature and gained three or four Sen ators, ensuring the election of a Democratic U. S. Senator in place of David Wilraot. OHIO, the glorious Buckeye State, elected the Demo cratic State ticket by 12,000 majority (a gaift of over 50,000 votes) sends fourteen Democrats to Jive Abolitionists, to Congress, and elected a legislature which will choose a Democratic U. S. Senator in the stead of Benj. F. Wade.— Bully for the Buckeyes! INDIANA, lias gone Democratic by from 3,000 to 10,000. The Democrats elected a majority of Congress men and of the State Legislature, securing a Democratic U. S. Senator. "Three cheers and a tiger" for the Iloosiers! DELAWARE. In this Sttitc the Democrats have carried the primary elections by over 1,000 majority, secur ing the defeat of Fisher, the present Abolition member of Congress. CCOSING SERMON OK THE SERIES BY REV.

The Return Judges of Dauphin county on Friday rejected the vote of the 127 th Regiment, P.

The President of the Board consulted Judge Pieraon on the subject, and took his advice in rejecting the return.— Judge Pieraon is a Republican. REBEL RAID INTO PENNSYLVANIA. OCCUPATION OF CHAMBERS BURG. Destruction of Arms and Railroad Prop erty^ GEN. PLEASANTON'S PURSUIT. ESCAPE OF THE REBELS. CII AMBERSRCKG, Oct. 12, 18G2. The threat of the rebel Gen. Jackson, to make a special visit to our valley, lias been fulfilled. The first intimation the people (if Cliambcrsburg had of the rebels approaching was in the after noon, Friday, about 4 o'clock, by a man from the vicinity of Alercersburg, who said the rebels had occupied that place about noon, anil were advancing this way. The story was generally discredited, but was confirmed at o o'clock by a man who came dashing into town, and who said the rebels were at St. Thomas, (seven miles from here,) and had chased him several miles. He said the whole rebel army was advancing on our town and would enter in a short time. TAKING THE TOWN. About 7 o'clock, a delegation of about thirty rebels, with a flag of truce, entered the town, and were met by the Kearney infantry, under the commnnd of Capt. Jeffries. They com manded the flay to bait and state their business, which was to demand the surrender of the town. Col. MeClure, (militia colonel,) Judge Kimmell, and several others, were sent for and conducted to the headquarters of Gen. Stuart, where they formally surrendered the town Then the cavalry dashed back anil closed, with their pickets, every avenue from the town, and no citizen was allowed to leave without a pass from headquarters. It was worse than mad ness to attempt the defence of the town against a force like the one the enemy brought against it. A battery of artillery was stationed on a hill commanding every portion of the town, and the threat was, if wc fired a gun, to knock down every house in the town, so having but a company of raw men the town was given up to tho rebels. It was stipulated that all private property should be respected, except so far as j their Government might need it. Horses, boots, I bats, clothing, guns and ammunition were to lie taken as contraband , and nryroc.i too, if wanted. I About 7 o'clock the rebel cavalry dashed into : the town in large force, and their men were i soon snoring in the rain on the sidewalks, and their horses munched their corn beside Ihoiu. ' CONIH CT IN TOWS'. While the rebels were in town, they behaved in an exceedingly gentlemanly manner; and I have to hear of the first one to whom they of fered an insult of any kind. At 10 o'clock all squads of citizens were ordered, in a polite man ner, "to disperse to their beds," which Was com plied with, and soon not a Round was to he heard in the whole town, except the snoring of the men on the pavements, and the restless pawing of their horses. In the morning, at an early hour, they commenced to riHe several of the stores of hats, caps, boots, &c. The number of rebels was about 1,800, with (i pieces of artillery, small guns, and were com , manded by (lens, llill, Stuart, and Wade Hamp ton. After the main body passed through town, the keys of the bank were demanded of Mr. Messcrsmith, cashier, and a search of the vaults, safe, and drawers generally was the result, but, luckily, money was all gone—taken off just in time. The advance guard then passed out the pike towards Gettysburg, and, by 8 o'clock, they had nearly all left. About seven, a party of them went to the depot, machine shops, and two ware houses, belonging to Wunderlich & Co., and tired them. The warehouses contain ed an immense number of rifles, pistols, swords, and ammunition. The ammunition caused a succession of explosions throughout the morn ing. An immense amount of property has been lost. Three locomotives were burned, and a beautiful depot, occupied by O. N. Lull. On the departure of the rebels their last words were, "Good bye, gentlemen; we like your val ley very much ; we have only been on a rccon noitcring expedition. We will report to our army and take up our winter quarters among you. Good bye for a short dine." Then they left. It is supposed that the rebels took about 1,200 head of fine horses from our county, and destroyed about two hundred thousand dollars' worth of property. Long will their visit be re membered. Col. McClurc exchanged horses with the rebels. They took nine splendid hor ses from him, and left him nine old "crow-baits" that are not worth two dollars per head. The rebels are on the march through Eminettsburg at this time, and before this reaches you they will have crossed the river, if some of our val uable cavalry don't stop them. When Stuart crossed at McCoy's Ferry he had fresh horses, they having been sent to tliat point in advance, llis movements after cross ing the Potomac were rapid. He marched Ins forces 1)9 miles in 25 hours. To accomplish this lie had the fresh horses taken from the cit izens of Pennsylvania. From the time Gen. l'leasanton, command ing a brigade of cavalry aud one battery, left bis camp, until he came up with the Rebels at the Mouth of the Monocacy, at 9 o'clock yes terday morning, he had inarched 78 miles within 2 1 hours, without a change of horses or rest. At that point, while attempting to cross the river into Virginia, the Rebels were repulsed and nine of them were taken prisoners. The total loss on our side wasoneinan wound ed. Stuart, finding himself unable to cross here, moved three miles down the river to White's Ford, where he made good his escape. THE BATTLE OF PERBYVILLE. Gallantry of Terrill's Brigade. OFFICIAL DISPATCH FfiOM GEN. BUELL. I'ERIIYVII.I.E, Kv., via RAUDSTOWN, { Friday, Oct. 10, 1862. J To Muj.-Gen. 11. IF. Uttlleck, Gen.-in,C/uef. 1 have already advised you of the movements of the army under my command from Louisville. More or less skirmishing has oceured daily with the enemy's cavalry. .Since then it was sup posed the enemy would give batlle at Hards town. My troops reached that point on the -Ith inst., driving out the enemy's rear-guard of cav alry and artillery. The main body retired toward Springfield, whither the'pursuit was continued. The cen tre corps, under Gen. Gilbert, moved on the di rect road from Springfield to Perry villc, and ar rived on the 7th inst. within two miles of the town, where the enemy was tound to be in I'orcc. The left column, under Gen McCook, came up on the Nashville road about 10 o'clock, yester day the 9th inst. It was ordered into position to attack, and a strong reconnoissancc directed. At 4 o'clock I received a request from Gen. McCook for re-enforcements, and learned that the left had been severely engaged for several hours, and that the right and left of that corps were being turned and severely pressed. Re cnforccments were immediately sent forward from the centre. Orders were also sent to the right column, under Gen. Crittenden, which was advancing by the Lebanon road, to push forward and at tack the enemy's left, but it was impossible for it to get in position in time to procure any de cisive result^ The acjion continued until dark. Some ligh ting also occurred on the centre. The enemy were everywhere repulsed, but not without some momentary advantage on the left. The several corps wore put in position during the night and moved to the attack at six o'clock this morning. Some skirmishing occurred with the enemy's rear-guard. The main body bad fallen back in the direction of llarrodsburg. I have no accurate report of our loss yet. It is probably pretty heavy, including valuable of ficers. Generals Jackson andTerrill, I regret to say, arc lunong the killed. 1). C. BELLI., Maj.-Gcn. Commanding. From the Special Army Correspondence of the New- York Herald. TKRRILL'S BRIGADE. Our extreme left, was held by Gen. Terrill's brigade, of Jackson's division. The enemy suc ceeded in getting upon his flank, and plunted a battery in such a position as to pour a deadly cnfiluding fire into our ranks. Gen. Terrill ordered a charge to take this battery, but found it supported by masses of infantry five times greater than bis own. He then opened his artillery upon itf, and after a few rounds succeeded in quieting it. This was quickly followed by a charge from the enemy, who rushed up fairly into our lines, crowding our men back by the impetuosity of their charge and the weight of their columns. BRAVERY OE GEN. TERRILL. Terrill's brigade was composed mostly of raw Indiana regiments, who were at first thrown in to disorder by the desperate charge; but their gallant commander placed himself at their front ; and quickly rallied them, loading tliem up LlrflSelf to their work. HIS FALL AND DEATH. living thus exposed, ho became a ready mark lor tlio enemy, and soon fell froiu his horse des perately wounded. lie was taken from tha Hold by his men to die, and the battle rolled on with only increased fury. THE BRIGADE FALTERS. It was truly wondurful how well these raw regiments stood their ground; but it is not won derful that they were driven back when they saw their noble leader fall, and discovered the overwhelming force of tho enemy opposod to them. They did give way, although first pun ishing the enemy severely, and struggling with him despcrntely in a close hand to hand engage* ment. GEN. JACKSON TO THE RESCUE. On hearing of the fall of Terrill and the dis order of his brigade, Gen. Jackson ordered Col. George Webster, of the 08th Ohio, acting brig adier, to advance with his brigade to the sup port of Tcrrill's brigude, and throw himself in front of Tcrrill's men to rally them. They were again brought to a stand through Jack son's efforts, and again met the enemy in a close contest. Here they fought nobly and well, and poured their fire with deudly effect upon tha enemy. The battle swayed to and fro here with intense violence. At one time the enemy were driven back, and we had nearly recovered the ground we had lost, when the gallant Jackson fell, pierced through and through with bullets and mortally wounded. WEBSTER'S BRIGADE BROUGHT INTO ACTION. The shattered regiments of Tcrrill's brigade were then withdrawn and Webster's brigade took their places. And then again there was desperate fighting. Four to one the enemy press ed upon this little column ; hut thei/could not fores them hack. Hard and desperately they fought; but neither party faltered. DESI'ERATE STRUGGLING. The ground was covered all over with tha slain, and-the suffering wounded were trodden beneath the feet of the contending forces. U nionist and rebel lay together on that terribly bloody field, throughout a space of half a mile, witnnssing the closeneas of the conflict. And thus night came 011, both parties still struggling for the possession of that field cov ered over with mangled corpses and mutilator), helpless bodies of yet animate flesh. And when the darkness became so thick that nothing could be seen the weary soldiers reluctantly ceased their work of destruction, leaving' the finale for another day to determine.
