O; : U'jKTiHUMISG ENLARGEMENT, &C. —Lest
.r neml- 1-ec .tue restive concerning our pro
■j ,setl enlargement ami new dress, we would
say '.hat the Power Press now building for
in N"v York, will not he ready for ship- •
t before the Dth of October, and, therefore,
• cannot enlarge before that time. 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

wr night, and the next morning, Wore Court

with Judge Kimincli, started with his prisoner

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

marked l it he thought he saw in it "a compil

part " —ln complianca with the: injunction of

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- !

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

been purchased by the Mercersburg Classis of j
the German Reformed Church, and u classical j
institution of the highest order, is being organ

Board of Trustees. Rev. G. W. Augliinbaugh,
favorably known to this community as an ex
cellent teacher and able minister of the Gospel, !
has been elected President of the Faculty, and
will be supported by competent malt? and fe
inide assistants. Parents and guardians :?nx
ious to give their children and wards a good ed

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. The inatig- j
ural exercises will take place about the Ist of
October, and it is very important that all appli
cants for admission lie in attendance at the com
mencement of the term. Circulars containing
satisfactory information on all points of inter

additional particulars, by applying to Rev, 11.

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

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 '.

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?

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.

THK GKE.fT INVENTION OF THE AGE IN
HOOP SKIRTS.
J. W. BRADLEY'S New Patent DUPLEX ELLIP
TIC (or double; SPRING SKIRT.
THIS invention consists of DUPLEX (or two) EL
LIPTIC PURE REFINED STEEL SPRINGS, ingeniously
BRAINED TIGHTLY and FIKWLY together EDGE to EDGE,
making the TOUGHEST 1 , most FLEXIBLE, ELASTIC and
DURABLE SPRING ever used. They ueldom REND or

twice as long as any sing'e spring skirt that ever
has or can be made.
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort arid
pleasure to any lady wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Skirt will be experienced particularly in all crowd
ed assemblies, Operas, Carriages, Railroad Cars,
Church Pews, ArmClairs, for piomenadeand house

cupy a smiil place as easily and conveniently as a
silk or muslin dress.
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort and
great convenience ot wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Steel Spring Skirt for a single day will nevei after
wards willingly dispense with their use. For Chil
dren, Misses and Young Ladies they are superior to
all others.
The Hoop 3 are covered with 2 ply double twisted
thread and will wear twice as long as the single
yarn Cove/ing which is used on all single steel hoop
drifts. The three bottom rods on every skirt are
also double steel, and twice or double covered to
prevent the covering from wearing otf the rods
when dragging down stairs, stone steps, fee., fee.,
which they are Constantly subject to when in use.
