Professor Hihteai's Girl. A cTooliety and contrary old chap was Joel j Shellenbatger, a rich old tanner, a# mulish a the donkey in his h.trn. 11-' had mad.: his way ; in the world by the doggedest obstinacy, seiz- I ing hold of whatever came in his way, and re- j tabling that ti. l ! as though life depended upon it- Joel's niuii-llilt'ss had litenflly been toe] miking nt I,in:. though }mi might nut have con-i si ieri-d the li-tlo po.-t old, ilii< k-.-kuiled old UI.III as much ot a make alter ail. Jutl liatl one son—a handsome, clear-headed, j uitive young man—tail, straight as a young: : larch, and as set in hi- way. wlieii lie chose lo 1 have one, as old Joel him-elf. This sou, as he i grew up, had proved a {treat assistance to his I lather in wo: king the tarm. and iiis services hud i ; been made must of, the old man managing to keep him :tl home with him some time alter he | ought to ! ;ive Inert doing tor hiiiiself.

J.iel Shellenbarger rtnd In- son Anson differed oltv-n. hut there were two poini- in which the ■ ilitii-rcnce amounted to some thing serious.— | The tir.-t point concerned education, for which 'i tin* oi l in-iii had the most profound contempt, j and the son had riot. There was a College some dozen miles from the Shelletiharg. r fat ill, and thither, having thoroughly prepared him-cll, in ■ spue of fatherly thwarting and opposition, j Anson betook lions.dt. ui spile of the same con ; ilnucd uppositio'i, and hy one contrivance and another, and helped out hy Ins mothers sin ill I marketing, kept himself there until he gradna- S cd. .Joel Sin lleilbarger contest, d the ground . inch hy inch, but was atrai I, in his setli-iiites-, i to <1 ' anything more th in be o'tstiaaie, lest his son should leave him. Ihat was the first point of difference, and tliat was Low Anson settled it The seCoti I was nut likely to be ot so easy an anungenieiit. At coil go Anson had fotmd something he side gtiidu-.tiiig honors, lie had chanced upon a veiv chat iningcombination ol curls and zurc eyes—a red lip|>ed, dimple-cheeked fairy, daugh ter ot one id the professors, who instead ol curving her dainty lip at the homespun suit which his poverty and his father's niggardness compelled him to wear, never seemed to he conscious of any tiling or anybody ei.se when -,e w as by. in short, Ansorr had found someone to love, somebody that lie wanted to marry, as he grave ly inhumed his lather. You should have seen ; the old man's eyes; it was a mercy that lliey were last in their sockets- Here gratitude! that Anson, having already defrauded Ins old lather of So much of his time, was going now tn set the seal upon hi s absurdity and disolied ience by marrying a "town girl ! Had enough to marry any, seeing his lather wasn't through with liitil yet—but a town girl! He should never consent, and every Slicllenbarger acre should go to strangers before Yn-on should have one, it he persisted in an idea so ridicu j lolls. j "And pray what harm is there in being a i town girl?" questioned Barbie H.dstead when 1 Arisuti i >ld lid*, half laughing, li:ui vexed, and | altogether rueful —lor, without assistance fr in hi - fat lit r, lie could not marry Barbie for a lung time yet- Anson laughed again, but with some cmbar j rassiaent, saying, "My father i* alraiJ that a Freedom of Thought and Opinion. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1865. daughter of Professor Halstead would not make ! a very good farmer's wife." "Does lie think —f" Barbie hesitated, look ing with siii'ling perplexity at her little white hands, 'that these pretty hands dun t know much about brewing and linking, etc "Exactly ; 1 believe he thinks that." •lln n tie thinks wrong," said Barltie, red dciiiiig, and looking up at her lover with a com ical little pout. ••Didn't 1 hear you say you needed a servant at In me ' I've a mind to go' down cnil offer tor the place. Anson laughed again enjoy ingly. "iVc need one badly enough, hut my father will nut sutler one inside of llie huttsc. ' "Why, how do you live then? Who cooks for you, now that your in itiier is unw.-ll "We do our own cooking," Anson saiil with a return of the half smiling, half embarrass ed expression. We cook for ourselves or do without." 'The very day succeeding llic one which wit nessed tins cotivv r.-ation, Anson was at home busy ing hi.nS at over -nine culinary operations, when the ou side door, which sto l :•) ir, was n •:<■•! -.v n i-hed wide op.a, and a .-iiigu.uriy attire 1 form presented itng litem, and sat regarding her with an expression of the must ludicrous astonishment. This remarkable volubility completely I>. fil d the old man's slowness. He could not say a word if he wished to, and when she concluded at last with "1 can make flap jacks and corn bread that'd Liiug the very eyes out iv yer head and make ye swally yer tongue with deiight eomeni ss. (if he had a weakness it was ior flap jack- and corn bread.) be could only twirl his thumbs in a s< rt of delici us awe, and n.-k her with a cunning smile how iinicii she expect ed to gel for doing all these things. "Seventy-five cents a week." was the prompt reply. vViih a still inure cunning laugh, Judoflfir cd her half the money. ie in litr own proper self. An noyeil, provoked, chagrined, almost angry, th- : advent of his father forced him to retire from the kitchen, for fear of betraying Barbie, which he would not have done for a great deal. t s If w;is several hours lie fore he could return to the house, his father having joined him. and upon' one pretext and another detained him. When at la*t tin y entered together, kiicium and sit ing room, both ol which hail been in a most untidy stiite when they left there, had under- i -ii,-'; a remarkably renovating process • that o' i Joe! drew back al first, thinking lie | had set foot in somebody else's house instead of his own. Supper was smoking on the table— j such a supper as old Joel, at least, had not seen j for months. To crown all, Mrs. Siiellenbarger ; was -siting, propped with pillows, in a great easy chair, and looking woudronsiy contented, and with reason —the poor lady had not a wo man's hand about her before or since her ill ness. They lived in such an isolated, inhos pitable manner, that very few of their neigh h a* even knew tliat Mrs. Siiellenbarger was not as well as usual. Bid ly as she called her self, had tidied the pour lady up in a wonder- ( fui manner. I Joel Siiellenbarger sat down to the daintily spread table, and made a most hearty and keen ly relished meal, glancing askance at Biddy meanwhile. Anson, si range to say, ate very ; little, and he watched Bt My askance too. This was only the beginning of the reform this daring giri instituted. First, however, as much fur her t-wii peace of mind as Alison s—know ing that mother and son were fast friends and alwajs of one opinion—-he told her secret to Mrs. Sheik nharger, and fairly wheedled her in to approval. It is true that she shook tier head at first, and looked wondrotisly shocked. But it was so charming to have those little soft hands fluttering about her, and see such bright ness and comfort spring up around, that she not, fur her own sake, help countenart- | cing as much as silence could, Biddy's mysteri ous presence. I bavn't time to give you all particulars, hut ha\i"g made a good beginning with a true Irish | ! facilitv. Biddv established herself In a very short j time completely in the good graces of the old J man. —He ha t :t lurking liking fo.' neatness ! an I order, ami Mrs. Shellenbaiger w t-n't a very tidy housekeeper. Under the new reign, order •■jew out of chaos: the li-mse seemed in holi day garb all the time, and an atmosphere of social cheerfulness pervaded everything. One morning—Biddy had said something a- j bout leaving the day before—the old man end ed ;t grumbling complaint of Anson with "I never seen no pood come of eddication yet. If it hadn't a been for that college business von might have taken a liking to a sen-ihiegiil ami -ne to you " He glanced at Biddy as he -poke. She turned scarlet, and came neardrop piug ihedisli she was holding. it was not the first time Anson had hoard such insinuations, ' and he rather enjoyed Biddy's Trepidation. "S ■ here, father." he sai l roguishly, just ' you i>n k me out a wile, and see what w ill come of it." I "The only girl I know of worth having, i wouldn't have you. I dare say —would you, j I Biddy !" .1 oei said grumblingly, hut suddenly, j turning then to the girl. 1 Anson was smiling maliciously. Bridget ; O'F'iyrm liar! kept Barbie's lover at a most lan- ! - talizing and unrelenting distance all this tune ! He was taking his revenge now. Making a J i desperate effort, Biddy rallied her confused' - sen-es to say, with considerable self posses- j hiun : r "Shun*, sir. an' i-'t mas,-If that'll not bi af- j ter bavin' any man till I'm asked " "Biddy, will you marry me?" said Anson, j gravi-lv. extending his hand. "I wiii that, now," said Biddy, promptly ■ i putting her hand in his. i Did Jot I came near choking with amaze-j . ment. It was too late to recede, however, even j f had lie wished t<>, as they soon made him tin- : , d'Tstand. He went out of doors presently, : ami privately pinched himself to ascertain il j _ |,q wi'ie in liis senses or not. Seeing the two | standing in close conversation o* ihe win low s soon after, he crept with the srii e laudable in , tent ion tuw.-o 1 them, under cover of the bnsh -5 , es that grew by the side of the house, i* 'Now, Barbie," Anson was saying, laugh- • - ingly, "what is to be done next. I must say, , you've managed wonderfully so far, but what I do you suppose he'll say when he knows you t are not Biddy at all ? y ' "Not Biddy at Ml ?" screamed Joel Shelien - I larger, struck with a sudden suspicion of he e knew not what, as lie started out of covert. e There stood Biddy, the white f rill of Iter close e rap as immense as ever. She laughed, though i- fvhen she saw hirn, and deliberately taking off li r cap, shook her bright curls all about her face, and reaching towards him her little hand, d said archlv, "Shure, sir, an' ye won't be aiihcr ha.in' a poor girl ficcanse her name's Barbie s Ilalstead instead of Biddy O'Flynn !" "Yon—yon i'roiessor HalsJe.ad's girl ?" i- ' Professor Ilalstead is my father, sir," said Barbie, in her natural tones. •- "What's that?" Barbie repented it. r "And ytm are not Irish ?'' i- "Ntver a hit." The old man stood a moment, clouds gath ering in liis face. WHOLE NUMBER, 10 "Well, Anson/' lie said, rather surlily, you've outwitted me again—much good may it do ; you. You'd I tetter get out the horses now, and ! take Halstead's girl home, lie must want to ; see her by litis tune." "Yes, sir." And Anson colored with min- j gled anger and amazement. Barbie did not change countenance, hnwev- j er. Extending that pretty hand of tiers again, j she said sweetly, "You'll shake hands with me | sir ?" j Joel Shellenbarger turned back and gave his i liand awkwardly. The girl took it in both ! tiers, bending tier bright, arch face toward him i and saying "I shall come back some time sir. j Will you lie glad to see me?" Joel hummed and hawed, and stammered out i at last. "Yes. yes; come back Biddy —I mean MLs O'Flynn—l mean Miss —" "Rir'oi-/' siiggosieil tli • giri, quietly. 'Ys s. co ne back: and ihe sooner the better. There, Anson, make the most out." Barbie did come back, in a very few weeks, j too, and nobody was gladder to see her than i old J. cl. though he was a little *hy at first of j Professor Halstead's girl —She soon made him j forget, however, anything save that she was j Anson's wife; and the way he humored the j sly puss with sundry grants of money, refur- j nishing and repairs, &c , I couldn't begin to , tell you. But I'd like you to see tlie Shellen- 1 burger place since Barbie has gone there to j live. j i Stanton's Eeport ori Arbitrary Arrests, j | Secretary Stanton's report to Congress on j arbitrary arrests is a remarkabledocuiu nt. It is official, and a part of the history of this war. ; ( There is nothing alarming now. The people j t cannot i>e alarmed. They would have no tears for their liberties, were Mr. Lincoln to declare ! ( himself Dictator for life, by proclamation, back- I ed by Congress and all tlie State Legislatures. ' Iut it may be admitted that the otliciai report : of the Secretary of War upon arbitrary arrests, j and tlie manner in which the President lias ! "used tlie extraordinary powers confided to him ! by tlie Constitution, in case of iiisurrectijn," j presents some remarkable facts touching re- j mark a tile transactions. Mr, Stanton informs us that many of Ihe ar bitrary arrests have been made by tlie Gover-j nors of States and proves* marshals, without any orders from or knowledge of the President. This is remarkable—not alarming at all—but j it is remarkable. The said Governors and Pro ves undoubtedly got their "authority from the I extraordinary powers conferred by the Consti- ' tutioii in ea.-e of insurrection"—powers so "ex- \ traordimiry" that ordinary people have been un able to discover them in the Constitution, or to 1 I comprehend litem as principles at all consistent ; with a republican form of government, having j tinee di-iiiict and independent branches, one of winch is ilie.i udiciary. But times have chang ed of hue. and we suppose that, under these j "extraordinary"' powers of tlie Constitution, j presidents and post masters, pr.ivos and press gangs, may arrest and imprison any citizen at j i pleasure, without even t lie formality of law. j Mr. Stanton says that among other arbitrary ! orders, under the new and "extraordinary" j j powirs, measures were taken to prevent the use I j of the postolfice for treasonable correspondence i I Tins is another remarkable use of even "extra- j j ordinary constitutional powers " To know what j i was treasonable necessitated the examination of j jail correspondence—all letters; and this eer- j I taitdy would be a very marked use of extraur- ! | dinary power. The post office, it is presumed, i jis sacred to ail correspondence. We recollect j * a ease tiiat occurred in this city, when the lion Gi leon Welles was Postmaster. Officers were j jon the track of a criminal. They watched his' i wife or mistress, and discovered that she drop- t | ped a Idler into the postoffice I hey immedi- j j ately went into the office, and demanded the [ privilege of lo >king at that letter and to open it, for the purpose of discovering where the j criminal was. Mr. Welles coolly replied that | the post office was as sacred to criminals as to i anybody—no letters could tie examined in that ' ; office, except by persons to whom they were 1 I directed, that to break over this rule would be j !to destroy the privacy of correspondence; and ! ! that it would be as great a crime to open the I ' letter of that criminal as it would be to open j i the letter of any merchant in the town. The j j law made no disci imination, but provided for j j the punishment of any one who should open a j j letter, or j ry into its secrets—no matter who i ! might direct the letter, nor to whom it was di- j : rected He would m permit the officers even j to look at the letter. His deei-ion was right; ] j for the moment that he had assumed that one j ; letter was (or a criminal, and permitted it to be examined, be might also decide tiiat any other letter contained matter of evidence rela tive t > crone; and all le'h rs would thus besub ' cl to bis insp vtam or the prving curiosity of j any constable of the town. But, beyond thi*, the laws make no discrimination, protecting "the secrets" of nil letters, whether from crim inals or pood citizens. But this sound law and correct principle have l>oen abandoned under the extraordinary assumption of extraordinary powers. But there is now a remarkable concession. The Secretary of War informs tho public that "extraordinary" arrests hereafter are to be made only by the military authorities. The executive department of the government gives ! mitiee to the judicial department that it may step aside w hen the military appear. — tlartf 00. Auditor's notices, if under 10 lines, $2 50.

'That race, loosened from its dependency, will be lost; and in the contest with the white, will dwindle and peiish r as the Ked man lias done. •## We bad 400,000 slaves when that Union was formed, and we had nearly that number of freed men when the Har broke out.

The sum of s;o'.).t>t)O is sub sciibed and paid in. This is invested in United States bonds, which is deposited with the Con troller, and $93,000 in currency issued.
