The rea : i this is, that there i a great rush for . -®e s , just at this time, the Soathefti printers i about t;i renew their establishments and army country offices throwing out their hand iv.—es and rt-ptating them with power ma bnes. We hope, however, before the end of ' tober, to give our subscribers a paper so dually improved in typographical appearance, weli a* in quantity and variety of reading ■f.:ter, that it will merit the largely increased patronage which we must have to sustain the • ad of journal we intend giving the public. In t! i- connection, we would again urge every Democrat who is not novr a subscriber to the i izettc, to become one at once. Send in your I'wo DOLLARS, and we promise thai you will M regret having done so, at the end of the vcar. livery family should have a newspaper, iuid there is none of so much importance to • .c L .us hold, as your own home paper. Tit: ARREST OF MENG£L REED. —Last week Ave stated that Mengel Reed, after his acquittal by the Grand Jury, of the charge of complic ity in the shooting of Jacob C rouse, had been arrested by an Assistant I . S. Marshal, on a warrant i®~ueu from the U. S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, on the charge of Treason. The arrest was at tc'ited in the court room, but his honor, Judge , ntiy rebuked it. The LU S. officer who ; :TeSl t Reed entered into an agreement with ■ -t' ! lv -imell, counsel for John P.

Arrived at mm ciiy, Mengel AS taken before Li. S. Commissioner Sproul, 1 0, after hearing the manner of the arrest, . .enounced it an insult to the United States eminent, directed the party who arrested -Mengel to take him back, to Bedford at once, to "-■at him kindly and to have him report at Pittsburg again on the 21st inst. Mr. I'urvi ance, a distinguished Republican lawyer, hap "ened to be present when Mengel was produced tat'ore the U. 8. Commissioner. Upon hear •tg the .. .ture of the case, Mr- Purviance re marked l it he thought he saw in it "a compil ed in which he would not like to have any part " —ln complianca with the: injunction of ' e U.

RECENT ELECTIONS.—Two of the black New j England states have just voted. Vermont has ' elected an Abolition Governor, as usual but by ; a decreased majority. The Democrats have aKo gained a number of representatives. Maine has just re-elected her present Abolition Governor, the majority, being, however, some 5,000 less than last year. Of course, nothing \ can be expected from that quarter.—-Califor nia baa also just voted for members of the Leg islature. For the first time in fi\e years, the Democrats have succeeded in electing a part of their ticket in San Francisco, securing sen?// of the fourteen members. It looks very j much as though the next Legislature of Cal- j ifornia ivill be controlled by the Democracy. j COME TO LIFE AGAM. — Our old friend Nich- ! olas Sleek, of Napier tp., enlisted, some years j ago, in the Fifty fifth P. V., and at the battle j of Drury's Bluff, ivas lost sight of and given , up by his friends as dead. On Tuesday, last, I however, the long lost volunteer returned, to the gratification of many who had shared in the general belief that he was dead. " lie had been badly wounded at Drury's Blnfl, being shot through both thighs, was takeu prisoner and re mained in hospital at Richmond until exchang ed. Welcome home, Nick ! Mi KGEKSM KG COLLEGE. —The valuable prop erty formerly known as the Marshall Collegi- ! ate Institute, at Mercersburg, Pa , has recently ; been purchased by the Mercersburg Classis of j the German Reformed Church, and u classical j institution of the highest order, is being organ ized under the management of ail efficient Board of Trustees. Rev. G. W.

Parents and guardians :?nx ious to give their children and wards a good ed ucation, will do well to patronize this new in stitution, soon to be formally opened under the most favorable auspices. The location pos sesses unusual advantages, as regards the pro- ' motion of health and morals. The beauty of ; the mountain scenery is unsurpassed. The j course of instruction will be full and thorough | and the discipline such as is best calculated to j develop sterling character. The students will ; lie under the immediate supervision of the fac- [ ulty as one well-regulated family.

Higbee. Mer cersburg, Pa. For the Gazette. Remarkable Casea of Conscience. MR EDITOR : At times there are rtmiarkable develop ments in the moral as rvell as in the intellectual and material ivorld. A striking illustration of this truth was exemplified in the case of Mr. 15 and his two neighbors, one of the Ar minian and the other of the Geneva school—' parties forming a portion of an aristocratic rir i cle in one of the lower counties of "Maryland, |my Maryland." Mr. 15 flourished a broad brim, spoke the plain language, and had an in stinctive dread of war, with its untold horrors. However, when tha recent unhappy agitation : in our country culminated in the clash of arm®, and the din of battles, the peaceful disciple of Penn, discerning, as the result of the struggle, "the future desenthraluient and elevation of the i negro," rejoiced at the indications of Providence. ;It uas ail right The great problem, was be i ir.tr solved—the nation chastised, and though the revolution progressed amid Scenes of devas j tation, tears and blood—draping the land in , mourning, and rending the air with shrieks of anguish— ''the end justified the means." The brightness and moral grandeur of the good time ; coming," would more than make amends for all ' ' But a change, a sad change, came over the spirit of his dream! A bounty (ax was levied by the county commissioners. The levy was legalized by the state legislature, and a publi can called upon Mr. B for his portion of the "needful." Though possessed of abundance of gold and silver —and "greenbacks"— not one cent mould he give to support the. unrighteous mar. It was contrary to his principles—lds conscience was involved in the matter. "Thee can oppress the innocent, thee can sacrifice my properly, it tlico chooses. I am willing to suffer for the sake of my principle® !' The publican, armed with legai authority, was not to be thwarted in his purposes. Accordingly, property was seized and advertised. The Geneva and the Arminian neighbors (though professing the pur est loyalty) sympathized greatly with their chris tian brother in his afflictions. "It was hard that a man should suffer for consoiepce' sake ; yet it was noble to uiake sacrifices for principle" 2tc. Being themselves quite conscientious (for their pockets' sake) they arranged to turn the j affair to a good account. Knowing that but ; few persons would attend the auction, they a j greed r.ot to bid against each ether, so that the property might be secured at a very low figure, and be divided between them. With an ingen ! uity highly creditable to shrewd business men, they carried.out their well arranged 1 purpose, and obtained the property at less than one third of its real value. Now, Mr. Editor, it strikes ! thp ivriter that such cases of conscience might be relieved and improved, without any serious difficulty. Mr. 15 -by observing the scriptur al pracepts, "submit to the powers which be," | "render nnto Cesar the things which are Cesar's" iie., would learn to yield obedience to the civil 9Wtbo3il'es,aiidthereby relieyqthe onblieari from i the unpleasant necessity of having recourse to ' extreme measures. And the Arminian and Ge neva lights would lose nothing, either in lustre, or in morals, by considering, and carrying into J practical operation, the golden rule. As ye woul 1 that men do unto you, do ye even so unto them, for this is the law and the prophets." True, their pockets might be lighter, but their con sciences AYould be easier. At least so thinks COSMOPOLITE September 11th 1565. ONCE MOKE UNTO THE BREACH ! —The fol lowing communication from a worthy soldier, j came too late for last week's issue. We give it I with pleasure, this week : WOODBEKKY, BEDFORD CO., I'A , Sept. 4-, 1805. FHIBSD MEYERS :—I take the present oppor ; tunity to drop you a few lines to let you know ■ lliat 1 want the GAZETTE one year longer, bo- ' ; cause it is the most satisfactory paper 1 ever had. La®t summer, in the army, I got Mc- Clure's paper, from Chambersburg. I like to read a "Republican" pa)er, but every week i that sheet was filled with Abolition stuff and talk in favor of the "nigger." and 1 became completely disgusted with it.. My own opinion ii®, if a white man thinks rr,orc of A "nigger" than of liis own race, let him go with the blacks. For my own part, I like a darkey— jif he keeps his distance. I have some very ; good neighbors Avho are "Republicans," but | some of them talk in favor of giving negroes ! the right to vote, Which is rather "strong cof fee" for ma. Such men ought to eat, drink and sleep wjth nearoes, and have a little bunch of wool tied to the end of their nose. Our "Re publican" friends have some sweet words for ! the soldiers, but they can't honey up us "boys in blue" to voie for "Negro Suffrage." We know too much about the "American citizen of African descent," .t> not so foolish a part. We believe that God did not intend the black to b*e the equal of the white, or else he would have created him such But, the sweet words of the Abo.'ilionists, are well understood by us. i They don't care half as much about i;s as . pretend, or they wouldn't call us '•skulkers," | "skedaddlers," "bounty-jumpers," and other j hard names. Besides, if thdv really felt lor i the soldiers, they would rather try to get a vote j for the young men under twenty-one years of j age, who were in the array, than make so'ch a I great fuss about the rights of "niggers." Thef" are thousands of brave young men from sixteen to twenty years of age, who were wounded in the serv ice, that ought to have the right to vote, rather than the black pets of the Abolitionists. Why don't these great friends of ours advocate the young soldiers' rights ? I was in fourteen battles and never saw but two dead niggers, except at the Crater, on the 30th of July, 18G4, where they fell into a trap and quite a number of them were killed. I believe in White Men ruling America. I fought for n White Man*# Government and intend to vote for it also. Fellow soldiers, we must mount guard on the tenth of October next. Hurrah for Col. Da vis and Major Linton '. Yours Truly, JACOB FINK, late of Co- 11, 140 th I*. V.. (Buektails). Thad. Stevens' Platform. The Abolition platform upon which Hartranft, Campbell and the Abolition county ticket stand, was drafted by Thaddeus Stevens, who is the op ponent and enemy of Andrew Johnson. Stevens made a speech irr Lancaster, u few day ago, in which he pitched into President Johnson's restor ation policy in the most furious style, and wound tip by saying that the Southern states must be kept out of the Union for a period of time in order to save the R •publican party. Hence, the resolution in the Abolition state platform which declares that !he Southern States must be '•hold in subjugation." The question therefore, now is, shaft the Union, or the Republican party, have the preference in the hearts of the people ? Watch Them I The Abolitionists are secretly at work, or- I ganizing their party. They will exert every | nerve to get cut their vote. Democrats of the l country! Roll up vour sleeves and determine that you will increase your vote of last fall. Bedford Borough will do its share. Let every | district aim to increase its Democratic vote. J OBSERVE THE FACT !—Although it has been charged over and over again by the Democratic ] journals of the State that Messrs. Hartranft ' and Campbell arc standing on a Negro Suffrage platform, and that tho Republicans of Pann ! sylvania are running the Black Issue, not on*. j of the Shoddy organs hat teen denied the fact. By their iiltnce they admit the t-uth of the chortle ! They dare not deny it ! White men ' —soldiers ! are you prepared to cast your bal ' lots for negro suffrage and equality? One Flag, One Destiny.

J.STATLER. i August 25 Im* CAUTION FROM THE MRICMWCH CO. It having come to our knowledge that imitations of the American Watch have been put upon the market in great number, calculated by their utter worthlessness to injure the reputation of our genu ine products, to protect our own interests and the public from imposition, we again publish the trade marks by which our Watches may invariably be known. We manufacture four styles of Watches, The FIRST has the name "AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham, Mass.," engraved on the inside plate. The SECOND has the name " APPLETON,TRACY & CO., Waltham, Mass.," engraved on the inside plate. The THIRD has the name "P. S. BARTLKTT, Waltham, Mass.," engraved on the inside plate. All the above styles have the name Ameiican Watch Co. printed on the dia|, and are warranted in every respect. The FOURTH has the name "IVM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass.," engraved on the inside plite, and is not named on the dial. All the above described Watches are made of va rious sizes, and are sc'.d in gold or sjlver cases, as may be required. It is hardly possible for us to accurately describe the numerous imitations to which we havealluded. They are Usually inscribed with names so nearly appioachicg our own as to escape the observation of the unaccustomed buyer. Some are represented as made by the "Union Watch Co., of Boston, Mass.," —an such company existing. Some are named the "Soldier's Watch,""to be sold as our fourth or Wm. El'ery style, usually known as the "Soldier's Watch." Others are named the "Appieton \yatcb Co," otheis the "P. S. Barti-sv," instead of our "P. S. Bar'.tett besides many varieties named in such a manner as to convey the idea that they are the veritable productions of the American Watch Company. We also caution the public, and particularly sol diers, against buying certain articles CALLED Watch es, so freely adveitised in illustrated papeii as "Army Watches," "Officers' Watches," "Magic Time Observers," "Arcana Watches," &c., the pri ces of which are stated to be from seven to sixteen dollars. A good Watch, in these times, cannot be afforded for any such money. A little attention on the part of buyers will pro tect then; from gross imposition.
