THE BALL OPENED 1 Rally for the White Man's Government! Gazette for the Campaign! —— Ibe BEDFORD GAZETTE, in favor of A Restored ( Union, "Freedom of Thought and Opinion," Free Speech, Free Press, the Personal Rights of Free men, Law and Order, Justice to the Soldiers of the Country, Economy, Retrenchment and Relorm in every department of the Government; in opposition to Executive Usurpation, Federal Centralization, Negro Suffrage, Negro Legislation, Social and Po- 1 litica! Equality of the Races, intermeddling with , the Rights of the States, the placing of the black | soldier above the White Heroes of the War, and all ; the other heresies of Radical Fanatics,_will be pub lished during the Campaign, at the lew rate of Fifty Cents, in Advance. Send in your names. F'very man who takes ar. interest in the political affairs of the country, should take a newspaper. Let every Democrat constitute ! himself a committee to obtain subscribers for the Campaign Gazette. The prospects of the Democ racy are flattering, and it only remains for them fc work to make their triumph overwhelming. The dissemination of political truth, is one of the mo=t efficient means for the accomplishment of Demo crat:* success. To this end, therefore, let every Demccr.it bend his exertions. The whoie people have momentous interests at stake. The issue, Shall tee leave a mongrel government and become a mired race, is being pushed upon us by New Eng land agitators and already there are leading "Repub licans" in cur midst who take the affirmative of this question. We must meet this issue aud we must 'riumph. Rally, th--n, for the White Man's Gov ernment! Change in Proprietorship. We beg to announce to our readers that Mr. GEORGE TL. MEN-GEL, late of Cliam bersburg, and formerly connected with the Valley Spirit, lias purchased from us the one-half interest in the good-will, presses, 'yp es, &c., appertaining to this office, and i has become a partner with ns in the publi- I cation of the G AZETTE. The new arrange ment dates from August 1. The paper will remain, as formerly, under our editor ship. We can commend Mr. Mengel as one of the best practical printers in the State, as a gentleman in the true sense of the word, and as a Democrat in whom there is no guile. So soon as Mr. Mengel can be with us, (which will be about a month hence,) the GAZETTE will appear in an en tire new dress and in an enlarged form. It is our purpose to purchase a Power Press, and, in short, to make our office the most complete printing establishment in this por tion of Pennsylvania. To do this will cost as several thousand dollars, and we are, therefore, compelled to call upon all our friends who are indebted to ns, to pay up. Let every one who is in arrears attend at jnce to the settlement of his account, and we will be enabled to go ahead with our im provements without difficulty. We hope, also, that those- who desire the GAZETTE at $2.00 for the year just commenced (the ad vance rate) will pay, at farthest, by Septem ber Court. There is no reason why 1500 of the 2TOO Democratic voters in Bedford county, should not be able and willing to pay $2 .00 in advance for one year's issue of their party organ. Let the proper inter est be taken in the matter by our friends in ihe different districts, and this result can be secured; and whenever 1500 copies of the BEDFORD GAZETTE are taken within the limits of this county, we will guaranty a standing Democratic majority, in a fair elec tion, of 1,000. Come, friends, lend ns a helping hand! New Volume. With this number we commence a new volume of the GAZETTE, and the ninth year ot our editorial connection therewith. Du ring the eight years of our editorship, we Rave experienced many and strange vicissi tudes. We have seen those whom we sup posed to be good and true become misera b-i* apostates; we havs seen those who op- posed our political views, acknowledge their error and more than fill up the gaps in the ranks occasioned by the defection of the corrupt and treacherous; we have seen days of peace and calm and quiet happiness, and we have beheld the black clouds of civil dissension rolling their sulphurous canopy above us. Four years of tranquility emp tied into our lap the fruits of a quiet pur suit of our vocation; four years of bloody war, have well nigh exhausted them. Still we emerge from the unhappy period through which our country has just passed, in good trim, fully prepared, and entirely willing, to continue the contest for Democratic princi ples. Notwithstanding the high price of every thing that we consume, which com plied us to increase the terms of the GA ZETTE. our circulation has increased from 5100, to upward^of 1200 copies, and is be ing augmented every day. For this gener ous patronage, we return to our subscribers our most sincere thanks, and hope that in the future, we will merit their support, as we have tried to deserve it in the past. The War a Failure." Don't go into hysterics, friend Abolition ist, wlien you see the caption of this arti cle ! Preserve your equanimity and restrain your wrath until you read further! We don't say the "war is a failure." No, indeed! IV e know that it lias not failed to do some things which, when it broke out, we pre dicted it would do. On the other hand, it is the radical men, the leaders, of your own party, who declare that the "war is a fail ure.' Now, don't look amazed and incred ulous. We can prove what we assert. We call our witness: WcndeU Phillips, step in the box! What says this witness? Why, "It were better that the rebel armies had succeeded aga_>net Grant and Sherman, than that President Johnson should permit the states lately in revolt, to return to the Union without giving the negroes within their bor ders the rightef suffrage." A cloud of wit nesses, such as Salmon P. Chase. Horace Greely, Ben. F. Wade, John Sherman, can be brought upon the stand to prove our as sertion. They all agree that unless the ne groes of the South be given the l-ight of suffrage, the war is a failure. What say the soldiers to this? The rebellion is erush eu. There is no longer a single gun raised in opposition to the authority of the govern ment. \ et, according to the radical lead ers, the four years of blood through which we have passed, can bear no proper fruit, as matters now stand. How is this, mod erate Republicans? Will you endorse such doctrine aa this? The Disregard of Law. The recent killing affair in this place, was preceded and accompanied by an utter disregard ol the laws ur.der which we live,-not merely by the combatants themselves, but by people v. ho have heretofore been considered among the best citizens of our town and county. The on ly proper spirit shown at any time, after the first blows were struck by Reed and Grouse, was that exhibited by the friends of Reed, who, when Grouse was knocked down, took Reed a way from his prostrate foe. From that time on there was a continual out-cry for revenge, on the part of the friends pf Grouse, and instead of trying to prevent a further breach of the peace, they urged Grouse to light again and of fered to bet money that lie could whip Reed. Thus they brought on the light and riot of Sat urday night, thus they induced Grouse to follow Reed and strike him with a stone, arid thus they urged Grouse into the jaws of death. There are men in this town who used Jacob Grouse as the,r tool to break the law, and there is blood upou their hands to-day. There are women, too, who have unsexed themselves in endeavors to stir up riot, she-devils who would mix poison, (if they thought they could do it safely) with the sacramental wine administered to their fel low church members. These people seem to forget that they are amenable to the laws.— Nay, they have lost all respect for officers of the law. \V hen the Sheriff and Constable com manded the peace on Saturday night last, they cried out 'Away with you! Let them fight!" After the killing on Tuesday, men who but late ly stood with Reed aroundthc sacramental board, elders in the church, headed a mob, crying, "We will have revenge !" "Hang the murderer !" and all this after Reed had surrendered himself to the proper authority. These are facte and can be proved in a court of justice. We refer to them in sorrow, not in anger—in sorrow, be cause those who should strive to quell disturb ance, seem to think it their duty to promote it; not in anger, because we do sincerely desire to draw the attention of men of all ways of think ing, to the necessity of putting down, by the force of public opinion and legal proceeding, the fomenters of strife in our midst. No mat ter who they be—lawyers, editors, preachers—let them be taught that they must respect the laws of the land, and that the peace and safety of the community cannot be sacrificed to their par tisan feelings, their local feuds, or the gratifi cation of their personal malignity. JCDGE THOMPSON, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, now in session at Philadelphia, has ordered the release of Cozzens, and deliver ed-the opinion that the right of the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus is only given to hrm by Coogress during the continuance of war. EDITORIAL MELANGE. If is reposed that General Lee is at the Clif ton House, Niagara Falls. THE rebel Brigadier General W. II F.Lee has applied for pardon. IN Kentucky, on Thursday last, some six or seven candidates for the Legislature were ar rested by order of General Palmer. IT is reported that young Surratt has been captured and is on his way to Washington. THE military occupation of the Eastern Shore of Virginia £s about to be discontinued. THE efforts to raise the frigate Congress, sunk in Hampton Roads, have been unsuccessful, but it is thought she will float in a few days. Two hundred pardons were granted during last week. From one to two hundred petitions are received daily by the Attorney General. JOHN A. MCCLKRSAKD, of Illinois, and John Cochrane, of New York, have had protracted interviews with the President. HON. JOHN COCHRANE, of New York, on Friday evening, at Washington, spoke in oppo sition to negro suffrage. DL'KF GREEN, of Georgia, and Dill, ex-edi tor and publisher of the Memphis Appeal , have been pardoned. 'THE rebel General Dick Taylor has reques ted to be allowed an interview with Jefferson Davis. THE race between the Yale and Harvard boat clubs have come off. Yale was the vic tor. A FENIAN orator styles the Orangemen Brit ish Thugs. A SOUTHERN paper says the sun this summer has as little mercy as a radical. THE New York Sun charges a member of the Cabinet with favoriDg the recognition of Maximilian. I. A DIES patronize the faro banks at Saratoga, this summer. It is the latest sweet style from Parry- Gov. PIERPONT estimates that ten thousand Virginians are entitled to pardon under Presi dent Lincoln's Proclamation. THE Bridgeport Standard fears that the Dem ocrats are "winding their coils around President Johnson." FURORE has two pestilences to balance our civil war. The Russian plague, which is decli ning, and the cholera, which is making sad havoc in Turkey and Arabia. THE rebel Gen. Shelby and his men were not allowed to enter Mexico with arms. They there fore old their cannon and small arms to the Liberals at Picdras Negras for eleven thousand dollars. THE degree of L. L. D., was conferred on Gen. Grant, Secretary Stanton and Charles O'- Conor, by Union College, Schenectady, at the commencement this week. THE wheat crops have been badly injured by the late rains in portions of Indiana and Ifii* nois. In Wisconsin and lowa the barley crop is much damaged. LAUGH numbers of negroes are DYING in the vicinity of Macon, Ha. They are destitute of the necessaries of life. So much for the bless ings of emancipation. THE black elephant is eating his own head off, and the Abolitionists want to sell him or give him away. Who wants the elephant ? Don't all speak at once ! BVUSLM, the showman, has given notice that he will, in six months, erect a building and col lect curiosities to equal, if not surpass, those destroyed by the late fire in New York. MA XIMILIAN of Mexico, is getting into trou ble in every direction. Late European advices state that a private telegram received at Paris announces his excommunication by the Pope. IN an abolition Fourth of July procession at Salem, Massachusetts, were a white girl and a negro man seated side by side in a carriage, la belled—"The Past, Present, and Future."— Hope that "future" will stay in Massachusetts awhile yet. THE war is over, and, it seems to us, with it partizan bitterness and all the rancor and ma lignity which were its concomitants, should also cease. Political parties can exist without per sonal abuse or violence. THE Fourth of July division has, at last, cul minated in blood. The same spirit which re fused to affiliate with Democrats on that occa sion, urged Grouse to an attack which resulted in his death. FOR a correct account of theatTray on Tues day last, which resulted in the death of Jacob Grouse, see next page. There are all kinds of sensation rumors in regard to it. Believe none of them. We are informed that prosecutions for perjury will be instituted against some of the witnesses be fore the inquest, as it is alleged there has been fake swearing before that tri bunal. WE cannot degrade ourselves to the level OF the huptirer falsifiers, by Stooping to notice ev ery canard they invent. Falsehood, with them, answers a better purpose than the truth, and, therefore thfty resort to it. PETER KERN, a soldier of the Mexican war, one who served in the regular army thirteen years, and three years and a half in the Union array during the late war, writes us to denounce the editors of the Inquirer as tradueers of the fair fame of himself and the other brave soldiers who participated in celebrating the Fourth on Mann's Hill. Mr. Kern can be found at Lyons' I Tan-yard in Bedford tp., where the Inqutrer slanderers are requested to call, if they are not too cowardly to reßeut the lie given thero by a soldier. THE SUN and the GAZETTE, Baltimore, Md , are two of our most valued exchanges. Me are truly glad that the cloud of military despo tism which so long obscured the light of 'he Sun, seems at last to have dissolved. Provost Marshal Shot. BEDFORD, PA., Aug. I.—Jacob Crousc, late deputy provost martial of Bedford county, was shot dead in the street to-rlay, by John P. Reed, a lately returned Canadian refugee. His broth er, Mengel Reed, who has been in the rebel ar my, was also engaged in the affray. They have been arrested and lodged in jail. Great excitement prevails in conseqoence of the affair. The above is a telegram to the Associated Press. It is due to truth to say that John P. Reed, Jr., was not a Canadian refugee. Ho went to Toronto to study law, and for no other purpose. When he went there he was a free man. Neither the Government nor any pri vate individual had made any claims upon him from which he found it necessary to flee-, and when drafted, long after he became a student at Toronto, lie put in st substitute and received an honorable discharge from Capt. Eyster. his brother Mecgel was captured at McConnells burs, by the rebels, and recaptured by the Ln ion troops near Gettysburg, a few days after. Neither of them were arrested, bnt placed them selves in the hands of the. Sheriff. This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth The Election in Richmond. The Preference Given to Ex-Confederates . —Names of the Officers Elected—Their Character, &c., dec. [Correspondence .V. }*. Ji'w/i/.J RICHMOND, Va., July 25. —The election, to which all eyes in the North are anxions!}'turn ed, is over, and I am glad to be able to record that it was one of the most peaceable and well conducted that lever witnessed. Whether this were owing to the admirable precaution of keep ing all the drinking-saloons closed, or to the fact, pretty widely circulated, that the military authorities were on the qui rive for the quelling of any symptom of disturbance, certain it is that a more orderly election never took plaec. The statistical results are as follows : FOB MATOK. The total number of votes cast were: Votes. . Maj. William Taylor, 921 N. A. Sturdivant, 1,535 Gi l CI.ERK OF HUSTINGS COURT. Robert Howard, 1,011 George L; Christian, 1,477 436 SHERIFF. Henry K. Ellison, 990 Mm W. Wright, 1,3-22 323 ATTORNEY OF CI ROOT COURT. Lyttleton Tazewell 772 Marmmadnke Johnson i,G6B 89G William H. Lyons has been elected judge of the Hustings Court without opposition. R. T. Daniel, attorney of Hastings Court, was also elected without opposition. One significant feature has, unquestionably, been developed in the rusult of this election, and that is, the manifest preference given through out to candidates who had been in the army of the Confederacy, Ido not wish by this state ment to impugn any one's present loyalty, but, judging by the best light I have been able to obtain, there seems to be no question that this is a manifest expression of feeling among the people. Several "old line-whigs," which i J , I believe, here understood to mean "Union," were elected without opposition, having most of them faithfully discharged for many years the duties to which they have been re-elected. Among these are Thomas H. Dudley, sergeant; Julius A. Hobson, collector: Dabney M. Mil ler, assessor ; Charles Campbell, superintendant of gas works; James L. Davis, superintendant of water works. But when there was anything like competi tion the feature I have mentioned was quite noticeable. In the case of the mayoralty, it cannot be denied that the fact of Mr. Sturde vant having been in the army very largely in creased his popularity and insured his election. Both he and Lis opponent, Mr. Taylor, are gen tlemen of unblemished character, but the lead ing power of the one was that he could boast of having been always steadfastly for the U nion; the other that he bad devoted his best energies toward sustaining the cause of the Con federacy. Mr. Taylor, besides, had been an alderman, and was-considered, by his experience, admirably adapted to the office of mayor. His opponent, on the contrary, though a lawyer of unquestioned ability, has not had that kind of practical experience. He once, indeed, ran for mayor, and got a very small number of votes. FROM SAVANNAH. The Conspirators Mudd, Spangler, Arnold and OLaugklin at Hilton Head en route for the Dry Tortugns. New York, July 31. —The steamer Chase has arrived from Savannah with advices to the 27th. The conspirators Mudd, Spangler, Arnold and O'Laughlin arrived at Hilton Head on the 20th, bound to the Dry Tortugas. The Savannah Herald's correspondent details the incidents of a tour through Georgia and Florida. At each place visited, he found the people have suffered much from the war, and there was little evidence on their part of efforts iat making repairs upon their much damaged I and badly battered towns. People were scarce : and money more so. Darien is a mass of ruins. At Brunswick there is no business do j ing, and only a few soldiers and croakers from I the backwoods, and lolling negroes on the street. The same was the case at St. Mary's, Fernandina, Jacksonville, Picolate and Pulas ki, hut the interior of Floridais much less in jured than pieces on the sea coast, and, it is said, there is much more bacon, molasses, sugar, &c., in the State than for a number of years. The people generally are cheerful and appear satisfied with the new state of affaire. THE FEELING OF THE SOLDIERS. —The Ohio Democrat says : "We have conversed with quite a number of soldiers since their return, and they ridicule the idea of a soldier voting for the Ne gro Equality doctrine of the liepublican party in Ohio. There are other reasons for this sup position, and foremost among them is the fact that Gen. Sherman is opposed to conferring suf frage on the negroes. This will have its influ ence among the men, especially with those who served under that gallant offcer. We think therefore, looking over the whole ground, that when the Abolitionists calculate on the votes of the returned soldiers to help them elect their Negro Equality ticket, they are counting chick en? that will never be hatched." MEXICO! -| SANTA ANNA REDIVIVUS! —.— His Proclamation To the Mexi cans! Antonio Lopez tie Santa Anna, wi :i desorv- j in" citizen of the country, and General of Di vision of the National Armies of 51 xico, to his countrymen : ' MEXICANS 1 He who has ahvavs addressed you on solemn occasions, whether to explain to you his political conduct, or to give yon advice, or to offer you his sjvord, is the same who now claims from you the greatest calmness and at tention, in order that yo'U may listen to him l once more. 1 speak to yon from the heart. ' have never deceived you because truth has al ways been my rule. The respect which in all times and nnder all circumstances I have paid the majority oi the people, imposes upon me the duty to impress upon you that which you have already read in my manifesto, issued at Vera Cruz on the 27 th of February 186*1. I adhered to the system of government which appeared to he proclaimed by a cons: lerable ( majority in obedience to the principles which • 1 professed based upon submission to the Na- j tional will, under the conviction that the Mex-1 icans were those who, exercising their civil om nipotence, had given themselves new institu- 1 tious, and were trying to find the way to con- • ciliate order with liberty. But what a painful error ! From this hospitable island I contem plate with increasing indignation the scaffold ■ which the tyranny of an usurping people are raising in our beloved country to stain it with ! the blood of our brothers, and for the destruc- ' tion of our people. From this island I have contemplated also, with pride, your struggle for Kfe with the inva- 1 ders of your country, the soldiers called forth | by the intervention, and the trumpet of the free has made my heart palpitate with joy, as in the happy days in which we combated together in i defence of our firesides and our outraged rights ; The liopcs of those who sought in monarchy ! the repose which the Republic denied them have been disappointed; the National dignity has been contemned; justice derided; our licly rights trodden under foot; thought enslaved; the sane- j tuary draped in mourning, and the Church af- j fiicted with tribulations. Terror is seated up on" the scaffold, brandishing over the patriots the knife of extermination. War to the inva- j ders! Liberty or death should he the cry of, every generous bosom in which honor has her horn.-, independence her altar, and liberty her rites. We thought that the Archduke Maxlmillian, of Austria, would restore to us our peace, and he has been the new element of discord: that j with wise laws he would enrich our treasury, and lie has impoverished it in an incredible man ner : that he would bring us happiness, and the misfortunes are innumerable which in s rk rt time he has heaped upon the ruins of en-au ; guined Mexico; that, iu fine, he would he con sistent in his principles and promises, and lie accepted the views of President Juarez in all that related to reform, at the same time that lie persecutes him and gives hitn war to the knife. European adventurers formed his guard of 1 honor. The French bayonets are the founda tion of his throne, and in the meantime so ma ny see themselves Condemned to oblivion, to the contempt of the veterans of independence once the glory of our nation, an I now oljwts of derision and mockery for the foreign soldiery*.

One thought alone animates us. that of war ami death io the invaders who destroy our towns and chics, and behead our brothers. E terr.al execration to the tyrants of our country ■ Compatriots ! if, on reading my manifesto ' of last year your attention should be arrested ; j by the expression that "the last word of my ; conscience and of my convictions is constitu-! tional monarchy," remember that I also said on i the same occasion, "I am not an enemy of de- : i niocracy, hut of its excesses," ar.d above all do ' not forget that it was the foynder of the lie- , public. A people is free whatever be their form ; of Government, when the head of the nation ' forgets that he is human. Let him remember only that he is the organ of the law. This, I iay belief, was also yours, when thfe Republic was changed to an empire. But we have been mistaken. The Prince whom you chose is not the organ of the law, but the usurper of our rights. He is not the defender of national independence, for if he were he would not cede Sonora. He is not the sovereign of the nation, but the humble vassal of a foreign potentate. In order to inspire greater confidence in the new form of government which you have just adopted, and to carry to the throne fur your benefit the advice of experience, I went to Ve ra Cruz to meet the proclaimed Emperor, dis posed to give him without reserve all my sup port; but his arbitrariness and discourtesy clo sed the doors of my country upon me. The de cree of my expulsion was written in a language which our forefathers did not speak. I owe you an explanation. The public jour nals of the capital published my recognition of tho French intervention. This act of mine, did j not originate from my own will, but. was im posed upon me by the force of circumstances. Scarcely did the steamer that conducted tne, anchor in the port ere a French commander presented himself before me or. board of the vessel, as the Chief Superior of Vera Cruz, i made known to me that I would not be allow ed to land, but, on the contrary, he should o blige me to return in the same vessel if I did not immediately comply with the conditions which he presented to me, written in French. These conditions required me to recognize the intervention and the monarch elect, and not to address the people.. Such greae insolence could only excite my in dignation. But the sufferings of my wife, caus ed by the painful journey by the sea, and the advice of some friends who came to meet me, inclined me to subscribe to these condition:, which, however, did not liberate me from th<> annoyances to which I was exposed. All this proves that the intervention could : not be supported without mistrust of the pre sence of the soldier who has always defended with energy the rights of his country, humbling on various occasions the flag of the haughty ! | potentates, and making there so-called invinci-! I ble legions bow under the yoke of democracy, i My friends, in addressing you to-day, I atn tmly inspired with the desire fur your hap'"' ne-i and the glory of Mexico No unw<>n>' v sentiments dictate my words. I have shj some drops of my blood in your defense, an! ' would sli .1 it a!i, were it necessary, fight; your armies, if not as your chief) then a - private soldier. It: the meantime, while <■'*. cumstan.x'S prevent n.e from joining your rani 1 wi-h yon to know the sentiments with w!' I am animated. Compatriots! on the memorable second of December, 1822, I adopted as my motto the*., words—'.'Down with the Empire! Live tl ■ Republic!" [Abajo el Imperio!
