Prisoners of State.
On leaving Washington City some weeks ago
In the cars for Baltimore, a gentleman with
whom we happened to sit pointed out to us a
few seats in front, four ladies, who, he inform
ed us, were prisoners of state, They were all
dressed iu deep mourning, and seemed very much
depressed- One hud accompanying her, a little
daughter seven or eight years old. We were
informed by another gentleman in the ear who
knew them, that their destination was Fort La
fayette. We inquired what was tho cause of
iheir arrest; and were informed that "they haq
friends in tho Southern Confederacy." Thoy
were under charge of an officer who, if we re
member rightly, wore the shoulder straps of a
Major. We do not know what offence they re
ally did commit, but the thought struck us that
this aduhuirtration are paying a great deal more
attention to arresting peaceable citizens, wo
men and children, than to the actual labor on
hand, namely "crushing the rebellion."
If any one had uttered the prophecy three
rears ago, that the administration at Washing
ton would send its armed servants to arrest
and carry to the forts in New York and Boston
harbors, men and women who had committed
no overt act of treason by "levying war against
the United States or adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfortand that, too,
without due process of law ; the men who now
justify all these outrages would have called him
a liar a thousand times, and entered into a thou
sand highfalutin tirades to prove it- If we were
an officer of any rank under this administration,
and were sent to arrest and conduct to prison,
without dHe process of law, either men or wo
. men, we would at once resign our commission;
even if we agreed in opinion with those who
think this Union can be "re-constructed."
If, four years ago, wo had read of similar i
treatment to Polish Indies, by officers of tho '
Russian despot, how our blood would ha\ e boil
ed with indignation—und with just indignation, i
too. Our Abolition opponents have not forgot- S
ten bow they felt for Passmore Williamson— j
though arrested and imprisoned according to
law—neither have they forgotten their indigna
tion at the execution of old John Brown, who
is now a saint in their church of high treason.
Pat, perhaps, the day may come when they will
be treated In the same manner as those they now
rejoice to see illegally punished. There is noth
ing astonishes us so much as the silence, (in re
gard to these outrages,) of the very men who
howled so fiercely, in 1856, for "free speech,
free presses and free niggers." But let a negro
1* illegally arrested any where in the north, and
how soon they are ready with their sympathy.
We warn those who are now thoughtlessly act
ing with these men, that they, too, may some
day feel the force of their own teaching. "The
price of liberty is eternal vigilance."
Hon. A. H. Oof Froth.
We publish, this week the remarks of Hon.
A 11. Coffroth, in regard to having conscripts
examined io their respective county town 3. The
amendment offered by hitn on this subject has
become part of tho new conscription law. Here
after, instead of having to travel to Chambers
burg to be examined the conscripts of this coun
ty will be examined here. This will not only
save the government thousands of dollars but
the people who are drafted many thousands be
sides.
There has been no more useful measures o
riginated in congress this session; and the peo
ple should not forget the man who not only o
riginated but snceccdcd in passing the measure.
Hen. Coffroth will be thanked by many a poor
fcllow, who would, otherwise, have had to walk
all the way from Somerset and Bedford counties
to Chambcrsburg, in order to stand an examin
ation. Besides this measure will benefit thou
sands of others throughout the entire north.
SSrllatiog been absent for the last two weeks,
vs omitted to notice that Mr. B. F. McNiel,
formerly of Philadelphia, has taken control of
the Bedford Ihqverer. He has changed the ty
pographical arrangements of the office, and his
paper is now printed on new type We wish
him auooeas in every w\>y except politically, of

opened a law office in this place, and intends
practising in the several courts of this county

in Congress begs us to inform bis friends in Bed
ford County, (those who have written to him re
cently,) that he was unable to attend to th-ir re-!
quests, because of sickness in his family while
at Philadelphia. The severe illness of Mrs.
Coffroth prevented his presence in Washington
for more than a week. She has now nearly re

Flag Presentation.
A flag presentation will take place at St
Ciairsville, on Saturday, the 23d of April. " ,9t -
The flag will be presented by the D<w* ,ocra<s
Bedford borough to the Democrat o{ St - Clair
township. Speeches will be * aa(^e 011 ie occa *

be present. The Democrats of the surround

SINGULAR DISAPPEARANCE.—Mr.Charies Pen
cyl, of Colerain township, whilst on hi 9 way
home from this place, one night, some two weeks
ago, missed the road and has not been heard
from since. When ha left town he was in com
pany with Baltzer Dull, another resident of Cole
rain township, but the two separated on the
mountain, each contending that the other was
in error about tho road. Tha mountain on
which Mr. Peneyl is Supposed to have lost his
way, has been thoroughly searched, by the peo
ple of this town and neighborhood, but no trace
of the missing man has yet been discovered.
Altogether the disappearance of Mr. Peneyl is
of rather a mysterious character.
DENTAL SURGERY. —Dr. S. Kimmell, of Holli
daysburg, the accomplished dentist, will visit
Wood berry, on Monday. 18 th inst., and remain
until the following Thursday. We have sever
al times spoken in high terms of Dr. Kitnmeirs
skill as a dentist, and we have had no reason to
change onr opinion on that subject. Wc com
mend him to the patronage of the people of
Wood berry.
TIIE MENGKU HOUSE. —We call tho attention
of our readers to the advertisement of this well
known and popular hotel. The proprietor, Mr.
Isaac Mengel, is one of the few men who "know
how to keep a hotel," and his guests never fail
to receive the full benefit of his talents as a ca
terer for the wants of the public.
LECTURE —We understand that tho lecture
delivered in the court house, on Tuesday eve
ning, sth inst. by the Rev. Thos. Heyden, was
very well attended notwithstanding the inclem
ency of the weather. We are informed that it
was very interesting—being both eloquent and
instructive. Wo are sorry to have missed such
a rich literary treat.
ir friends who send us obituary notices
from various parts of the county, should remem
ber that, whenever they exceed the ordinary
length, our rule is to charge for them at the
same rate as other advertising. We are sorry
to say that we have neither the space nor the
time, to pay the attention to them that their
writers might wish.
REMOVED. —U. H. AKKRA, Esq., has remov
ed his office from the place occupied by him
heretofore, to the office previously occupied by
Dr. Marbourg, nearly opposito the banking
house of Reed & Schell.
BEAUFORT, S. C., March 25, 18C4. i
DEAR SIR:
After a long and stormy passage of five
days, on board the transport, "United States,"
we reached our old camp, on last Wednesday.
After spending sixty days in Pennsylvania, we
find soldiering to be even a more unpleasant oc
cupation than it was before; but withal we are
really glad to get back to South Carolina. We
find things very much as we left them, except a
little excitement about the reb's coming over.
They attempted it once, shelled our pickets, but
got aground with their flats and gave it up.
I was very much surprised to read, since my
arrival here, an article in the "Bedford Inqui
rer," concerning myself. I supposed that about
every body in Bedford knew bow unexpectedly
I was compelled to leave for Harrisburg, previ
ous to the time I had appointed, thereby leav
ing behind me over thirty recruits who had been
enlisted by members of my company. I made
an arrangement with an individual by the name
of Long, to the effect that, as Woodberry town
ship was giving a iocal bounty of £2OO, and as
I had among my recruits about forty men who
were willing to be credited to their own county
for that amount, I would bind myself to credit
twenlv-four men to Woodberry, provided he
would assist Die to recruit my company by fur
nishing me with 12 recruits: he was to meet
me with the men at Hopewell, or some other
station on the B. T. R. R., on Monday, the 20th
of February. I sent two of rny men to Wood
berry, on the 24th or 25th of February, to as
sist getting the 12 men. I received a dis
patch from the commanding officer of my regi
ment, on Thursday evening, the 25th of Feb
ruary, ordering me to bring my men to Ilnrris
burg immediately, as they could not be muster
ed into service after the 20th. What was Ito
do? My men (recruits) were scattered all over
the county, and to reach Harrisburg, in time to
have them mustered in, I must leave on the fol
[ lowing day (Friday, 26th). It was impossible
to send word to all, or one-half of them. My
two men had not returned from Woodberry, ami
it was equally impossible to send word to that
i place. Lvcn if I could bavo done so, the men
and money could not have been got to Harris
burg in time. I went to bed with the belief
that I sbouid not have more than tea men to
take away the next day, whereas, if I could but
remain until Monday, I would hove over fifty.
Perhaps if I had remained in Bedford until
Monday, and showed the dispatch* (a copy of
which I send yon; to the individuals with whom
I had made the arrangement referred to, they
would have been satisfied, but 1 concludod to go
if I oould get but five men together, as they
were bettor than none. I was fortunate, orun
lortunate, enough, I don't know which, to have
more than that number when I started. I took
them to Harrisburg, had them mustered in, and
in answer to a dispatch, telegraphed to Durhor-
TOW* that I had been ordered to Harrisburg on
Friday, in order to have my men mustered into
service before the 2&t', as that was the lost day.
•HARRisrvKo, Feb. 25 lS'l*.
To Cajjt. S. S. Afi'U-jer :
llscruits cannot Lo mustered later than
twenty-ninth (29 h) February. Each can get
about two hundred and fifty (250) dollars iocal
bounty ; bring them immediately. (Signed)
R. WHITE
! t h*t if I had waited to fulfil the arrangement 11
had made with Long, I would not have got a /
i recruit muttered. Quite a number of recruits j J
! that I had left behind, eame to Harrisburg, on f
i Monday, but I could not get them mustered in- I
to our regiment; aome went back home and I
others enlisted in other regiments, the reason , (
was, that an order had been received at Har-I 1
risbuig from the War Department, directing ! J
that no more recruits be mustered into the 55th ! (
P. V I have been particular in giving younn 1
account of the whole affair, so that if my very : J
few frieuds should ever speak of it to you, you i (
would be able to explain the whole matter in i i
its true light. Tlie individual who published J
the article, I don't suppose has brains enough !
to understand that a soldier obeys orders from ■ i
bis superiors, or he would not have done so af- ; <
ter my explanation in the dispatch. Yours, i

From the Reading Gazelle.
The Monroe Doctrine.
Our would-be statesmen in Congress have at
last condescended to turn aside, for a few mo
ments, from the consideration of such questions
a3 the right of negroes to ride upon the street
railways of Washington, and devote a little of
their time to international affairs. After allow
ing Louis Napoleon to prosecute his sinister and
ambitious designs in Mexico to the point at which
their full realization seems on the eve of aecom-,
plishment, without a single word of remonstrance
they now, through the Foreign Committee oi the
House, give H tardy and feeble expression of
their disapproval, which may mean somethiug
or nothing, just as tlio Administration chooses,
It affords us, however, a grain of comfort, at
least, to observe that even this weak assertion of
the traditional policy of our Government with
regard to the intrigues of foreign powers upon
American soil, has been found necessary by our
pusillanimous rulers, to save them from becom
tng contemptible in the eyes of the world. Tlie
action ot the House has a faint ring of the old
metal in it, and leads 113 to hope that the time
may yet return when the freedom of tlie negro
will not be the first and almost exclusive concern
of American statesmanship.
In the House of Representatives, on Monday
last, Mr. Davis, (Rep.) of Maryland, from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported the fol
lowing joint resolution:
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Represen
tatives in Congress assembled , That the Congress
of the United States are unwilling, by silence to
leave the nations of the world.under the impres
sion that they arc indifferent spectators of the de
plorable event 3 now transpiring in the Republic
of Mexico; and that they therefore think it tit to
declare that it does not accord with the policy of
the United States to acknowledge a monarchical
Government erected on the ruins of any republi
can Government in America, under the auspices
of any European Power.
No objection having been offered to the con
sideration of the resolution, the following briof
debate occurred upon it:
Mr. (BROOKS. What does the gentleman pro
pose to do with the joint resolution 1
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland. I propose to put it
upon its passage.
Mr. BROOKS. I have no objection to the joint
resolution if it be not a mere paper fulraination-
Ido object, however, to paper thunder. If it
means anything I am in favor of the resolution ;
if not, I am opposed to it.
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland. Mr.
whether it be a mere paper fuimination or not
depends upon whether the Congress of tbo United
States shall adopt it, and whether it represents,
in adopting it the opinions of tlie people of the
i United States. It is a declaration simply as to
what our policy is to be respecting events which
touch our interest very nearly. I take it that it
is not a subject which anybody desires here to
discuss ; ami I suspect that if there be a dissent
in this House it is about the only dissent that can
be found in the United States on this subject.
Mr. Cox. Mr. Speaker, I yield my concur
rence to that resolution reported from the commit
tee of which I am a member, although I should
prefer— as the members on this side of the House
would unanimously prefer—that it wore more
emphatic and decided in its expression as to the
intervention of France on this continent. It is a
little late in the day for the National Legislature
to pass such a resolution. lam aware that not
only the present Administration but the preced
ing Administration have not been as vigilant as
they should have been as to our continental rela
tions, and the protection of our traditional policy
in that regard. I stood here laboring, in 1860,
for the ratification of the treaty made bv Mr.
j McLane, in order that the United States might,
| in time, foil these very designs of Franco which
j have since been developed to the disgrace of our
! Government and nation and of constitutional
' liberty on this continent. While I favor the res
olution, I fear that it will be looked upon as a
mere bratumfubnen —words, words, words—not
j ing more. If we are in earnest, we ought to be
I ready to back it up by something physical. I
I think that is the way to back up resolutions of
all nn<3 * n *y add, proclamations of all (
kinds.
I believe the resolution ought to be more sig
nificant and more emphatic, especially at this
time, when Maximillian (who. I believe, is called
the Arch J)ape of Louis Napoleon,) is about
moving to this continent. We ought to be pre
pared not only to say, but to make it effectual
that no crown shall be established on this conti
nent. We should stand up to the old Democratic
doctrine whicn always cherished a defiance of all
foreign dictation. That doctrine, as enunciated
by a Democratic statesman, is this: that the es
tablishment of a political protectorate by any one
of the Bowers of Europe over any of the inde
| pendent States of tins coulincnt, or, in other
words, the introduction of a schema of policy
j which would carry with it a right to interfere in
j their concerns, is a measure to which the United
j States have long since avowed their oppsition,
j and which, should t ho attempt be made, they will
J resist by a' 1 tjo means in their power I believe
that to day the people of this country would
back up an Administration that would give a
proper defiance to this French intermeddling.
1 hey would sustain the doctrine of President
Monroe, which has been since his time always
hailed as the true continental policy of this Gov
ernment. With these remarks, thanking the
gentleman for having yiolded the floor to lue, I
conclude what I have to say.
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland. I am sorry that
my friend from Ohio should hare felt compelled
to make an argument against the resolution es
pecially as I understand him to say that ae in
tends to support it.
Mr. Cox. I did not make an argument
against the resolution; I shall vote for it. Only
1 wish that it were more emphatic.
The resolution then passed finally by a unani
mous vote, as follows:

NAYS—O.
Mrs. President Lincoln's Bister.
We must in justice apologize to the Tribune j
for refusing our credence to its story, that Mrs.
J. Todd White, a sister of Mrs. Lincoln, who
lately went South byway of Fortress Monroe,
abused her pass and carried contraband goods
in several large trunks, so giving aid and com
fort to tlie enemy.
The facts are as the Tribune stated them—
or even worse; and in apologizing to Ihut
journal for an incredulity which its habitual
mendacity regarding political opponents has
created and fostered in our minds, we have no
other alternative than to restate the facts pre
cisely as they arc, painful as it is to any loyal
American to join tlint fanatical journal in any
course, or to endorse its im|Miachtncnt of the
ehiof magistrate of the United States for as
sisting openly in giving direct aid and comfort
to the armed enemies of the Union. Tlie facts,
then, are these, and we muko no comment upon
them; for if they do not, in themselves, make |
the heart of every patriotic northern man and
woman shudder within them, then the fanati
cism of the time has drugged the nortli into an
insensibility which nothing can arouse:
Mrs. J. Todd White, a sister of Mrs. Presi
dent Lincoln, was a rebel spy and sympathizer.
When she passed into the confederacy a few
days ago, by tlie way of Fortress Monroe, she
carried with her in her trunks all kinds of con
traband goods, together with medicines, papers,
letters, etc., which will be, doubtless, of tlie
greatest assistance to those with whom she con
sorts.
V hen Gen. Butler wished to open her trunks,
as tlie regulations of transit there prescribe, this
woman show; 1 him an autograph pass or order
from President Lincoln, enjoining upon the Fed
eral otficers not to open any of her trunks, and
not to subject the bearer of the pass, her pack
ages, parcels or trunks, to auy inspection or an
noyance. Mrs. White said to Gen. Butler or
the officer in charge there, in substance, as fol
lows: "My trunks are filled with contraband,
but I defy you to touch them. Here," (pushing j
it under their noses,) ''here is the positive or- 1
der of your master!"
Mrs. White was thus allowed to pass with-'
out the inspection and annoyance so perempto
rily forbidden by President Lincoln in an order
written and signed by bis own hand, and to-day
the contents of his wife's sisters trunks are giv
ing aid and comfort to the enemy—nor least in
the shock which these facts will give to the loy
al hearts whose hopes and prayers and labors
sustain the cruse which is thus betrayed in the
very White House.— N. T. World.
Southern Estimate of Gen. Grant—They
are Pleased with his Elevation.
Tlio plans of the southern leaders for the cam
paign of 1864, are based in a measure, bu' not
entirely, upon what they have divined of t'ae
plans and designs of the administration at Wash
ington. It may strike our readers with sur
prise, but it is nevertheless a fact, that the south
ern leaders at Richmond do not anticipate any
great change in the results of the war from Gen-
Grant's recent elevation. They do not dread
his plans as they did (and would) tlie plans of
McClellan. They did not regard him as pos
sessing military genius of a high order. Not
counting McClellan, there are no less than five
other generals in the Union army who are far
more dreaded by them than Gen. Grant. They
regard Gen. Grant as being in tlie same class,
as regards military ability, with Gen's Meade,
W. T. Sherman, Fitz John Porter, Wool and
Kosecrans. The probability of his elevation
to the chief command has been a subject of de
bate at Richmond for some weeks. If such a
step was taken, it is believed by the southern
leaders that it Wou.V! !* H political move on the
part of the administration, anu B would
not be made as a military measure, or wi'.n *.'? e
view of a more vigorous prosecution of the war
on the part of the north. They believe that if
Gen, Grant had been left where he was, and if
he had been furnished with troops enough, that
i he would have given them considerable trouble
i:i the west during this year; for they believe
that his military abilities are fully equal to the
direction of a vigorous campaign in that field.
But they believe that his elevation to tho chief
command will be a positive advantage to them
for three reasons ; First, bceausc his attention
will be drawn from the west, which will enable
them to carry out their plans there. Second,
because tbey believe there is only one man in
the north who is capable of directing the oper
ations of the war as a whole, and of planning
campaigns for the general conduct of the war ;
and Gen. Grant is not that man. And, third,
because they believe (and that belief is founoed
cn authentic intelligence, which they have re
ceived from a very high source in Washington)
that it is the intention of the President to con- j
tinue to plan the campaigns, and to direct tho !
movements and operations of the Union armies
himself, and to compel Gen. Grant to divulge j
his plans to him. Tho existence of this stale
of things will, they believe, e rble them to car
ry out successfully their plans for the campaign
of 1864.
