BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1864.
If you take the trouble to collect these frac- I
tions, you tiud that according to them be (In- |
ion people in the South in ISOI compose ! for- I
ty-tiirce and seven-tenths per cent., or nearly
halt of the whole population, while now they
form but thirteen and six-tenths per cent, of
I 1 population. This teils a strange i:tle. It
shows that the war, so far as relates to remov
ing the old Union, is a conspicuous failure, and
has managed to couvert the old Unionists
armed rebels. ' We have gained in territory,
we have secured important strategic positions,
and put an eini to whatever commerce, the
South may have had; but at the san. time we
have thoroughly alienated the hearts of its peo
ple from ourselves and from the old Union
which w.5 boiLi once prof-ssed to love. This is a
natural result of the policy which we nrged utv
on ibe government, and which it at last a icptmi.
Ihe removal of Hue!! and AfcC ILin becauso
ot their lenient treatment ot tlie southern pop
ulation, and the infusion of a more stringent
policy, had the proper effect oil the army. In
stead of treating the southerners as misguided
friends U> be won back to an old love, they were
instructed to -rcat them as enemies, for such tliev
were to tie great principles of freedom, if not
t-.i iLe Union iioelt. lUnce it is ih.it wherever
our armies have inarched they have made en
emies of those whom they found to be friend-,
lake the case of '"ennessee, lor example.—
When eu troops first entered XasbvilK and,
still later, Knoxville, tlc Unionists in i -.Stile
:ave a rapiurous welcome to the dear otd 'l;ig
ind the men "under whose protection :t had
been borne to their slate. How changed is all
iiisuow! They who undeV the rule of Jeff.
D.tvD and hi* crew sighed for tit? re-turn of the
'M I'nion, an I waited long ami patiently for
:he gleam otic j> r:! bayonets, enduring mean
while a systeih of oppression that beggars de
scription.—these men and wt.men are to-dav
tiie luiter-st rebels in sho South. Jeff. Davis
hits now no warmer allies than these peop'c—
And if a rebel invasion of East Tennessee
should ever tr pract r able, it is safe to nredict
that the old unconstitutional Unionists, and
followers of Andy Johnson and Darson
low, would give the conf-'derate troops a wl
coaio ev ii warmer than that win -h they rat e

wise in doing so. There are instances in bis
turv of races being conquered, but, like the old
Saxons, it was necessary to keep them in abso

1. That there were no symptoms of rebellion
in the South until after the election of Abra

that slaves sWitfoe lieva j n the Territories.

■e election of Mr. Lincoln. You will know
r.bat weight to attach to toy words when I say
diat I am satisfied that he realizes not only that
:b;s country cannot remain half free and half

,he vexed problem, and that by the total elirn
□ation of the white population of the South.
This will involve, at least, a thirty-years' war.
National bankruptcy wi!! be inevitable, because
we can Sustain no farther strain upon our finan
ce?. At least half, if not two-thirds, of our
able-bodied men wiil have to give up thefr lives
:*re we reach the end. Ail this I firmly biiieve,
a in stpf.e for u, if we pursue die policy which
I aver is the or*s thai we ought to pursue.

No; having invited the issue, let u< meet it
like men, push it through to the hitter end, and
if need to die for it. remembering that the soil
will be the richer for our dust; for, where on?e
grew the rank weeds of slavery, there will
spring up in chastened luxuriance the pure white
flower of liberty to deck our country in a fair
er, purer robe than ever yet it wore.

So, also, in reference to the slanderous mis
representations of Mr. Pendleton's votes for
supplies of the arrov aud navy, the following
letter, to the Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Pennsylvania,
furnishes a complete refutation. The false
hood* so industriously inculcated against Mr
I 'en die ton amoO-St the soldiers of oor armies,
must now yield to tire force of truth, plainly ;
spoken bv one whose unspotted integrity and j
truthfulness has never yet been questioned,
even br his enemies, however they in ty seek
otherwise to malign and disparage him:
CINCINNATI, Oct. 18, 1804.
HON*. C I" WARD, Philadelphia: MY
DEAR SIR: —I have received your letter.
In the very beginning of this war, in the
first dava of the extra session ot 1801, I
said, in'rrv place in Congress, that I tvonld
vote for ail" measures necessary t > enable the.
viov-ernmcnf to maintain its honor and dig
nity, and prevent disaster to its li g. 1
have done so.
j 1 thought that by the adoption of such
measures the faith of the Government was '
pledged to the troops in the held, and must j
not be forfeited by inadequate supplies. I j
never gave a rote which was incompatible)
with this sentiment.
All appropriation? pare and simple, tor !
the support and efficiency of the arrrv and |
navy had my cordial concur-once. It was !
onlv when they were connected with other
and improper appropriations; when by rea
son of their popularity, they were loaded
down with fraudulent items for the benefit
of contractors or speculators, and every at
tempt to separate them failed; when they
were made a stalking horse for sonic Abo
lition scheme, that I was constrained reluc
tantly to vote against the whole bill.
But 1 repeat, that I voted against no bill
: which was confined simply to the object of
1 supplies for the army and the navy.
1 am very truly, yours,
t GRO. H. PeXDI.ETON.

beef steak, which formerly cost him but twelve
cents a pound, now cots twenty-five cents.
The present price of potatoes is forty cents o
half peek; the old price was ton centg. Bat
ter unjii a few days ago, was sijc tv cci.ts
pound; the average prioe for many years has
not been over twenty cons. The old five pen
ny loaf of bread co3ts ten cents. C-offce, now
seventy-five cents a pound, until recently was
but twenty-two cents. The present price of
sugar is thirty cents; the old price was eight
cents, lo make the case more plain to the eye,
we pot it into figures;
Or t> TRICE. PREFEST TRICE.
j Beefsteak, 12 ccols. 20 cents.

For the whole of these articles the regular
price of former years was seventy-Perer. cents ;
it is noiv two dollars and forty cents. On the
same sca.li., if the cost of living of a single per
son iur one year was five hundred dollars in
the "good old tune,!' it would oe now fifteen
hundred and fifty-eight do.iars. This is some
