LECTURE.
A lecture will be delivered in tha Methodist
Church, in this place, on Wedneaday evening next,
by Kav. J. MCKB.NDBKE REILY, D. D. The proceeds
of the lecture will be applied to the library of the
Methodist Sabbath School. The public are respect
fully invited to attend. Tickets can ba procured at
any oi the etorea or hotels.
The Prospect.
Mr. Liaeoln, like Sirs. Partington, over opens
his mouth without putting bis foot in it. For
weeks It was heralded throughout the country
that he was going to write a letter which was to
he the "Key nolo to the Presidential campaign."
It Was to be a sort of political oil with which to
smooth the troubled waters. Well, it appeared,
anfl straightway gold advanced aad stocks tum
bled! The bankers do not look upon his negro
balm as a sovereign remedy . for ills.
The northern people hare but ono heart, and its
first pulsations are felt in Wall Street. All the
nobler emotions of tho human heart—all reu
son—all judgment, is thero stifled by the golden
bolus that quenches all qualms of conscience,
while it suffocates the national soul. Not in
India, whero the truo believer throws himself
under tho advancing wheels of Juggernaut, nor
in Japan, where tbo No-Kamis are addicted to
the solitary vice of hari-kari, does ono find in
the national idolatry so much that is contempti
ble, so much that is dishonorable, as in tho wild
bant and blind tVnrwldp nf th "almighty- dollar"
in the free states of the Union. All transac
tions, all measures, cten philanthropy itself, is
subject to the gauge of this Procrustean Idol.
Of a project it is seldom inquired—is it honor
able! but often, will It payt
Scarcely a step has been taken in this miser
able war, by the party in power, that has not
been justified in tho minds of the people by this
sordid consideration, even to tbe employment of
negroes as soldiers at two dollars less per month
than whites. Now let Mr. Chase, whoso brain
is as fertile as if he had leathered his head with
bird lime instead of bear's grease, originate some
project, by which he can show the New York
bankers how it will pay to keep tho wheels of
the Abolition-sedition-confiscation-emancipation
cars greased, and they will keep tho National
Locomotive labeled "NEGBO," with sufficient
bead of steam on to carry it through or "barst
her boiler." Tho philosophy of her politicians,
the theology of her divines, and the morals of
her citizens, all blend in harmony with tho ad
vice of logo to Cassio: "put money in tby
purse." This national sin is expressed in one
word— materialism —and is entailed upon us by
the canting, sniveling, whining vagabonds, who
wero spawned from tbe May Flower in 1620,
upon tho shores of New England. Not satis
fied with the work of Luther or King James,
they set themselves up as more holy in their
faith, even ns they now profess more loyalty than |
their neighbors. Their pernicious and glaring
self-aggrandizement, under the garb of religion,
has demoralized the head, permeated tho limbs,
trad corrupted the heart of the nation. This
war may be traced directly to the spirit of Now
England, which, through constant, persistent
agitation in pulpit, press, and hustings, has led
the honest, unsuspecting public to bolieve that
the form of civilization at the South was antag
onistic to that of the North that black slavery
was injurious to free white labor: that the lat
ter mcreated the wealth of tho nation whilo the
former decreased it. The long list of figures ex
tracted from the census tables, published in the
Helper Book, which attempted to prove that the
hay crop of the North was more valuable than
the cotton crop of the South, is an illustration
of their plausible lying philosophy. The people
now see, ala% too late, that it is not the aggre
gate product of the people thai constitutes real
wealth, but the surplus. It was in this that the.
South was rjriier than the North, not in the ar
ray ef big figures. • *
' But we have fearfully digressed—it was no*
eqr inteatie* to write a homily on peritonism.
Ms. liinneja has written his great letter, aad
tbe barometer in Wall Street goes down. This,
as every body knows, indloatee tbe judgment of
Ike moneyed men on tbe weight of Mr. Lin-
Spin's position. The policy the President pro
gq|pt wen't pay. It makes gte future dark,
darker! But tint is only temporary, they tfill
recover. It ii now too late to recede, until the
final crash conies. Mr. Chase ha* already in
volved them so greatly in the success of his
schemes that they must continue to support him
or fall He calls for a large special loan, they
will obey, they dare not refuse, or be will issue
some new-form of paper promises to pay —some
interest bearing note to usnrp the bank circu
lation. In the mean tjme the national debt is
increasing at a rate unprecedented in the annals
of nations. It has now reached the figure of
3,000,000,000 of dollars, and the war increases
it at hJast $2,000,000 per day. What a pros
pect for our farmers, our mechanics, our land
holders and tenants I This is the price we pay
for the costly experiment of war; and every dol
lar of it comes oat of the labor and sweat of
the poor. If they would escape the continu
ance of this burden let them see to it that this
war is stopped and the Abolitionists hurled from
power and place. _
"The Wood Regiment."
Tho "Wood Regiment," from Bedford town
ship, made its appearance on lost Wednesday
a week. Twenty seven loads filed into town,
in regular order and solid column; and marched
single file, to the residence of the Rev. Henry
Heckerman, whore they drew up in line and
"grounded arms." Wo rather suspect the rev
erend gentleman's parishioners have warm feel
ings toward him —or else, intend that he shall
have tram feciiu£2 towards them. Tho sight
of so much generosity is "gC?d for sore eye#,''
in these "degenerate days."
US-There is a project on foot to connect the
Western Maryland Rail Road with tho Con
nellsville Rail Road, which deserves considera
tion at the bands of the citizens of Bodford
county. If this road is constructed, it will pass
through Bedford and, probably, follow the Rays
town Branch of tho Juniata to its source—
where, it is said, it will cross the Mountain
without a tunnel. If our enterprising citizens
lay hold of the matter in earnest, it will be put
through. It would be tbe most advantageous
road to the citizens of thia county that could
possibly be built.
Wit will be seen by the call of tho Chair
man of tho Democratic county committee, that
tho- customary meeting of the Dem&racy of
Bedford county will be held at the Court House,
on next Monday evoning. Turn out, and elect
delegates to the Stato Convention. Let us make
ono moro effort to overthrow the usurpationsof
the Abolitionists, and restore the government of
our' fathers.

present from Bedford on that occasion.

Truths Plainly Stated.
Every repulse inflicted on us, even though it
be by no means a decisive victory, assists in this,
merely by' lengthening ont onr operations.—The
loss of the battle of Cbickamauga added three
or four mouths to tbe length of the campaign
of Tennessee' and left us unquestionably, oven
at tho end of that period, less advanced than
we should have been if it had either been woa
or had never been fought. The loss of Knox
ville would probably cause the abeorption of
the most precious months of next spring in its
recapture, leaving us with the work on which
we now hope te enter aa soon ae the campaign
opens, still untouched. The lees of a few
months may Rem to many persons n email mat
ter, and there was a time when it woe so ; but
that time is passed. Delay is now telling against
us almost as heavily as Our debt has
reached a point at which every million that is
added to it begins to press; and millions are be
ing added to it, we need hardly say, in an in
creasing ratio. So that putting aside the loss
of life, it is strategioally almost as bad for us to
late a mbnth as to lose a battle.
f hese epaskkratiene. tee, keep up the Rebel
credit abroad, facilitate the creation of compan
ies and purchase of steamers for the purpose of
running the blockade, and intensify the eager
ness of the cotton speculators.
To get all we can, ami keep what we get, is
now not only our great duty, but has become a
stem necessity.

Remarkable Republican Speeches.
W ABHINOTON, Jan. 24.—The two remarkable
Republican speeches of Spaulding, ©POhio, and
Stevens, of. Pennsylvania, on the Confiscation
act, are now in full before the public. Both go
for a system of laud confiscation South, the like
of which tho history of the world shows not,
nor th'at of Sylla and Marios, nor that of the
Nermans, nor that of the Russians over Poland.
If they have their way, the whole civilised world
would cry out with horror ngainst American
barbarism. Tbe worst of this sort of speech
making, however, is that it runs "the Rebel ma
chino" in Richmond, and oils it well % Theyaro
printed and reprinted in the Rebel press, in or
der to demonstrate to tho South that their only
Lope is in prolonged and everlasting war, or,
that as long as confiscating radicalism reigns
North, the South has no chance but to fight.—
Such speeches, from such men, add from 25,000
to 50,000 men to Jeff. Davis, aud are the caus
es of death to thousands and thousands of our
soldiers, because they leave tho Southerners no
hope but in arms.
Mr. Stovons arrived at his universal land con- ,
fiscal ion by tlio rou.ul-About route, that tho
' people have lost all their character as
'an American peop!?,- or as a part of the coun
try, and that thoy are pow n61!."02 to us but
foreigners, hostes, enemies,—and hence, tiidf
hereafter, as we subject them, wo have a right
to do with them, exactly, what we pleaso, and
confiscate them, or kill them, or enslave them
oven, as the Romans, Greeks, nnd Egyptians
did their prisoners of war. Their lives, when
subject, become our property, and wo have a
right to do with that Ufe as wo please. Mr-
Stevens overlooked all tho law of God nnd man
the law of God, as written out in the New Tes
tament, and the laws of man, as written out in
the univsrsal law, as the law of nations.
It can bo scarcely supposed that any civilised
man, or earnest man, really entertains these o
pinions—in this era of Christianity, 18C4—.but,
nevertheless, such opinions are rcpromulgatcd,
as before the era of Christ; If the Southrons
were to us asforeigners only, tho civilized world
would look with affright upon the barbarism,
j that would universally confiscate all landed prop
erty, and take it away for ever, from innocent
wives and innocent children; but thero is in our
war a passion never before known in the world,
and that is tho passion of Abolitionism, to put
down the white race South forever, and to give
the black race uncontrolled dominion over that
white race thore.—This is a decision in the abo
lition mind, beyond all reason or logic, and it
comes, not from a mob, but from the pulpit, the
••liege, Ac. It is tho philosophy of Mirabeau,
Voltaire, Murat, Danton and Robespierre, rcin
augurated in our States, and it lias a powerful
hold upon all tho New England politicians.—
No reason can stop it, for it is a power exalted
far above all reason.
Mob Law,
A party of soldiers from New Tork State,
who had been attending Gov. CUR-TIN'S inau
guration, were detained a few houra at Sunbury
in consequence of the trains not connecting.—
While there they got drunk and were led by
some resident rascals to assault the office of Hie
Sunbury Democrat. After doing much injury
to the materials of the office, and in a most
cowardly and cruel manucr beating the owner
of the building, they retreated to several Sa
loons, where they destroyed whatever they could
put their hands on. Their conduct is severely
condemned by the Sunbury American, a Repub
lican paper. The outrage was not only coward
ly but infamous. The Democrat is one of the
ablest and most patriotic papers in the State,
and its editor is one of the most efficient mem
bers of our State Legislature, whose election is
a most emphatic endorsement of his correct prin
ciples.
The editor offers SIOO reward for the arrest
of the perpetrators of the outrage. We esteem
this as useless, for, up to this time, Gov. CUR
TIN has promptly pardoned every miscreant con
victed of destroying private property or com
mitting gross assaults for political reasons. Of
course the Governor who docs that is no better
thaivother rascals, yet the knowledge of this
fact does not protect private rights. We have
ever been an advocate of the close observance
of law, but if it is understood that the Gover
nor of the State will pardon overy scoundrel who
may destroy property or commit personal as
saults for political reasons, then we say: Demo
crats, as no law is left to you, protect yourselves
if barm is threatened, arm and fortify sufficient
ly to prevent unlawful injury.
The destruction of a printing office is gener-'
ally if not universally a pecuniary benefit, to the
editor, for as the insult is intended more for his
party and its principles than to him, he is in
variably more than remunerated by the aroused
energies of his friends in his behalf. But if
types are to be destroyed with impunity for be-1
ing used to utter Democratic doctriues, tongue*
will soon be made to share the same fate, and
then no man will dare talk politics unless he
gabs Abolition. Of course that is • state of af
fairs that will not bo submiyed to; and nobly,
therefore, will every party act who will hold its
opponents all individually responsible for out
rages upon private property, and who, if the H
law fails to protect tkcm wii.r. MANFUIXT PRO-1

Hot'Sß Ok REFRKSEWTATIVHS, 1
Jan. 26, 18G4- J
DEAR GAZETTE:
Since iniy last, GOT. Curtin baa been re-inau
urated, the Inauguration Ball has come off and
the Legislature has failed to elect a State Treas
urer. These are the most notable events that
have occurred during the last week. The inau-g
guration was not so well attended as had been
anticipated, owing partly to the inclemency of
the weather, partly to the fact that Curtin had
but few new appointments to make and partly
to the waning confidence of the pnblic in the
Stato and National Administrations. Quito a
number of furloughed soldiers were present dur
ing the inaugural ceremonies; the platform, in
front of the capstol, was hung about with regi
mental flogs, gome of them vory much torn and
cfefaced in battle; after tha delivery of the in
augural address a salute was fired aad in the
evening thcro was a fine display of firo works.
There was but little enthusiasm, the noise made
by the faithful Curtinians, being simply and
purely mechanical. In fact the Ueunocrucy of
old Bedford generally exhibit rauclv more en
thusiasm in their eennty mass meetings, than
was tfuown by these devotees of Shoddy, on
this occasion of tho re-elevation of their chief
to tho chair of the Executive.
Tho Abolition Senators, though claiming that
the Senate is organized and in working order,
failed, on the day fixed for the election of Siato
Treasurer, to meet with the House, and the re
sult is that a law fixing another day for that
election, will have to bo passed before a succes
sor to tbe present efficient and worthy incum-
Mr. McGr.ath, can be chosen. This ac
tion, or rathe;' failuro to act, on the part of the
Abolition Senators, proves tli.lt Aey know and
feel that they are wrong in tho position they
have assumed in regard to the organization of
the Senate. Had they been, satisfied of the cor
rectness of their position, they would of course
have met in joint convention with the House
and elected Mr. Moore, the Abolition nominee
for State Treasurer.
The Senate imbroglio still continues. The
A boliticn Senators have had it in their power,
from the very first day of the session, to elect
a Speaker. But they are resolved to have all
or nothing, to have every office in the gift of the
Senate, from Speaker to pastor and folder, and
hence they reject the proposition of tho Demo
crats to give them (the Abolitionists) the Speak
er and to alternate the remainder of tho offices
lictwocn tho two parties. The responsibility
for tho failure of the Senate to organize, is
therefore, upon tho shoulders of the Abolition
Senators. Let them answer it to their constit
uents.
There is some talk here about the possibility
of the prorgntion of tho Legislature by the Gov
ernor. I doubt whether his Excellency will
undertake to do this, but if he should, the peo
ple will understand that he does it merely in or
der to secure to his party the office in the Sen
ate. More auon, if not prorogued. B. F. M.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, )
HARSISOCRG, Feb. 1, 1864. J
Mr. Assistant Editor:
As your senior is rather busily engaged
to-day in his legislative duties, ho has requested
trie to write you the latest.
This morning I was shown what purported
to be the resignation of Major Harry White,
tho absent Senator from the Indiana and Arm
strong district. There is a good deal of suspi
cion as to its genuineness; but, I suppose, it will
be considered by the Sonator who presumes to
be Speaker, genuine enougli to base upon it a
warrant for a now election. The Democratic
Senators have made a noblo stand for the right,
and if they do not succeed, in the end, in ob
taining the organization of the Senate, they will
have the satisfaction to knqpr that they have
acted consistently and in accordance with prece
dent as well as their own solemn convictions of
duty.* Their firmness saved a great humiliation
to the State; it prevented tho Abolitionists from
carrying out the scheme announced by Governor
Curtin in his message, to repudiate the honest
debts of the Commonwealth. Hud the Demo
cratic Senators yielded the organization to their
opponents) tho interest on the State Debt would
have been paid in paper instead of gold, the
credit of the State seriously damaged, and tho
plighted faith of the Commonwealth treacher
ously and disgracefully broken. Nor are the
Democratic members of the House less to bo
tlmnkcd for their heroic opposition to this ini
quitous measure. The matter came up for con
sideration in the House, on Friday last. Able
speeches, setting forth the enormity of repudia
tion, were made by Messrs. Burger, Sharpe, Per
shiug and Hakes, all of whom arc Democrats.
The Abolitionists were all in favor of repudia
tion. But many of them admit their utter de
feat in the debate upon tho question in the House,
and acknowledge their doubts as to the justice
and propriety of the measure. Mr. Pershing's
speech upon this subject, was one of the ablest
arguments I have ever listened to. The vigor
of its logic completely di.seoncefted and disarm
ed the gentlemen on the other side of the House.
Ilarrisbnrg has been quite gay during the last
few weeks. The weatlier lias boon unusually
fine and one hardly realizes that we arc in the
midst of mid-winter. Places of amusement are
having a full run, the inimitable Sam. Snnford
holding forth with bis splendid troupe, at his old
theatre, are drawing crowded houses every night.
Sanford is always ahead of every thing in his
line, and whilst his performances are interesting
and amusing in an extraordinary degree, there
is nothing improper, or immodest allowed, and
tho most fastidious can go to his theatre and en
joy a hearty laugh without any shock to their
taste. If any of your readers travel this way,
they will find very pleasant pastime atSanford's.
But lam transgressing on your space. If
the editor says so, you may hear from mc again.

M. EDITOR :
The following article appeared in the Inquirer
in its Inst issue:
"Last week we called attention to the Ladies
branch of the Sanitary Commission in this place.—
Since then we learn that by tome authority or other
the philanthropic ladies, whose charity and loyalty
are synonymous, oave been excluded Irom the Court
House, their usual place of meetibs. By whose au>
tbority is this? We would like to km w. These la
dies hare been laboring month after month to pie
pare material to relieve the aick and wounded sol
diers in the field and hospital, and this is too much
patriotism for somebody connected with the Go art
House." ,
Inasmuch as the above is calculated to create
a bad impression against persons "connected
with tho Court House,'' and as it was no K doubt
written for that purpose—without regard to
truth—allow me to give a few facts about tho
matter. Tho ladies connected with tho Sanita
ry Commission met every Wednesday in the
Grand Jury room." Tho Commissioners, who
have the solo control of the Public, puddings,
not only never objected to those meetings, but
approved of them; and never, to the knowledge
of any one "connected with tho Court House,"
were they "interrupted.'' Mr. Agncw made
tho fire regularly for them. On Now Year's
week the Auditors met in the Grand Jury room
and on Wednesday of that week Mr. A. made an
other room comfortable for the reception of the
[ ladios. On the Wednesday following he was
: unable, by sickness, to attend as usual, and sent
his son to prepare the room, who not finding
tbc cellar key in its proper place, went nwav
without making fire. A few ladies came, who
finding the'door locked, wont into the Prothon
otary's office, and told Mr. Shannon, who vol
unteered to have the fire made, nt once. The
ladies thanked him, nnd went away, saving that
likely tiiero would bo no meeting that day.—
Since then 1 understand they meet elsewhere.
These are substantially, and specifically tho
farts in the case, andean easily be proven should
they be contradicted. The public will judge
how unpatriotically "these philanthropic Indies
have been excluded from'the Court House, their
usual place of meeting." Yours, &c.,
"COURT HOUSE."
"Soldiers' Friends."
The condition of Camp Curtin, near Harris
burg, is a disgrace to tbeStute, according to the
testimony of gentlemen of the highest respecta
bility. Wo ivo Informed that the volunteers,
returned on furloughs, aro "sticking in the mud,"
in tiiat locality, deeper than they did at Freder
icksburg; and that many of them, rather than
inhabit Camp Curtin, actually lay, at nights,
upon the pavements and on the steps of the Ex
ecutive Department.
Under these circumstances, Mr. liex, of the
House of Representatives, felt it his duty to
offer t\ resolution in the House, to the effect
that the military authorities should make ar
rnirgemcrits-suitable to the proper accommoda
tion of the soldiers, during their stay in the ci
ty. "and thereby wipe out the disgrace to our
soldiers which tho neglect to do so had imposed
upon them." This was more than Abolition
"loyalty" could stand ; so Mr. SMITH, cf Chaster,
moved to strike out all of the resolution, after
the word city. Mr. SMITH, by his motion, held
that such treatment of our soldiers was no uis
giaoe at all.
Mr. B. P. MtYEtts, of Bedford, however,
placed the whole Subject in its proper position,
by offering the following substitute :
Resolved, That a committee of three member* of
this House be appointed to inquire into the condi
tion of Camp CuVtin, and also what arrangements
have been made by the authorities fcr the reception
of the volunteers re|urnirg from the war, and to
report the same to this House.
.This placed the Abolitionists in a dilemma,
from which, though they squirmed and Wriggled
a great deal, they could not escape. A very
animated debate sprang up, in which several
gentlemen participated, among others, Mr. JOHN
D. WATSON, of this city, who, we are informed,
declared that lie would vote against the resolu
tion "all the time." But, when the yeas and
nays were finally called, Mr'. WATSON was miss
ing ; his courage, at the critical moment, desert
ed him, and when the Democrats moved a call
of the House, in order to bring Mr. WATSON
to the test, and make him cither redeem or for
feit his word, tho Abolitionists, in order to shel
ter him, voted down the call. The debate, wo
learn, was quite sp*y, Mr. METERS sustaining
hi 3 resolution in a speech of much spirit anil
cogency. There was no loopholo, however,
through which hypocrisy could escape, so the
Abolitionists had to come square up to ihc work;
and Ilia result was that Mr. METERS' resolution
passed by a vote of 80 yens, nays none.— Aje.
The Returned Volunteers.
PROCEEDINGS IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The treatment of the volunteers lately return
| e<l on furlough, by tho State authorities, was
under discussion in tho House of Representatives
on Thursday last. Complaint having been made
by several members that the. proceedings furnished
by our reporter and published in yesterday morn
ing's paper, were deficient and failed to do jus
tice, we proceed to correct the error and make
them ns full as the material furnished us will
permit:
Mr. REX, of Montgomery, offered tho fol
lowing resolution, which was twice rend, viz:
W HERE AS, Many of the Pennsylvania volun
teers are now anJ have been compelled to pass
through Ilarrisbnrg on their way home to their
families and friends after an nlsence of nearly
three years, during which time they have been
compelled to undergo great hardships and pri
vations, while battling for the preservation of
the Constitution and the Union; nndtothedis
grace of the constituted authorities many of
Ihese patriotic soldiers have been unable to find
lodging and rations at Camp Curtin, or else
where, during the time they lmva been compell
ed to remcin here, particularly the 7th Pa. cav
alry, Col. WM. Sipes commanding, who came
into this city on Tuesday night last, and lip to
this time havo not bcea furnished accommoda
tions such as a patriotic and grateful govern
ment should have prepared for them, particu
larly when those in authority boast of their great,
friendship for the soldier; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of this House
tho military authorities of tho State should im
mediately make arrangements for tho reception,
lodging and bar -ding of all returning volunteers

Die tint "we ail do fanens a leaf," come to IIJ, when

Did lair for a long end useful life. fi.ir h t r work on

Mrs. Benedict was known, respected and beloved
by many cf this community ; by the poor will she
especially be missed—she was given to acts of char
ity, and h"r deeds of kindness will live though she
is dead. She died in peace, and we Jajj h er to rcst
with the hope of a blessed immortality. She leaves
a fragile little flower to bloom amid the direst sands
of this life, whilst she has gone to be with 'hose
whom her Savior had taken from her side hre, to
the Kingdom above. Her hssband. eged mother and
triends need not mourn as tho<e Hia' have no hope
And may the God of all grace be their consolation!
