Since our Quixotic expedition you will, no doubt, be greatly perplexed about our fate. God knows what it may be; but, 1 assure you, the lietter part of the troops are not at all dismay ed. The general came here at a critical and seasonable juncture; he is weak, but his spirit is good and his head clear, firmly determined to proceed as far as force and provisions will admit, which, through divine favor, will befarenough. The road to be opened from our advanc ed post is not yet fully determined, and must be further reconnoltered: 'tis yet a query whether the artillery will be carried forward with the army when within fifteen or twenty miles of the fort or not. The order of march and line of battle is under consideration, and there are many different opinions respecting it. Upon this the general will have a conference witli the com manders of the sundry corps. About four thousand five hundred are yet fit for duty, five or six hundred of which may be laid to the account of keeping of different posts' sickness, accidents, &c. We know not the number of the enemy, but they art; greatly magnified, by report of sundry of the people with Major Grant, to what we formerly ex pected. The Virginians are much cha grined at the opening of the road thro' this government, and Colonel Washing ton has been a good deal sanguine and obstinate upon the occasion; but the presence of the general has been of great use on this as well as other ac counts. We hear that three hundred wagons are on the road. If this month happens to be dry weather, it will he greatly in our favor. My people are in general healthy, and are to lie collected together immediately, exctpt such as are posted on the communication and in the artillery. Many of them will be naked by the end of the campaign, but I dare not enter upon clothing them, not knowing who or how many of the troops may he continued. Col. B 1 is a very sensible and useful man; not withstanding, had not the general come up, the consequences would have been l dangerous. Please to make my eom > J intent- to Mr. A Hen, and, i f you please "V\ ,lim this letter, as I have not a "omem I VJJ-U- About the last of this month will bo the critical hour. Every thing is vastly dear with us, and the money goes like old boot-. The enemy are beginning to kill and carry off horses, and every now and then scalp a wandering person. I leave this place to-day, as does Col. Boquetand some piecesoi" theartillery. One of the early pioneers in Bedford county, was a certain Garrett Pender g¥ass, who, by jiermission of the Six Nations, occupied a tract of land near the .site of the present borough of Bed ford. I Hiring the French and English w.ir, Pendergrass was dispossessed of his home, by the French, but the In- dians afterwards gave him, in lieu there of, a tract of land near Fort Pitt, now Pittsburg. This shows a degree of gen erosity upon the part of the savages, for which history gives them but little credit. The deed made by them to Pen dergrass, for the Fort Pitt property, is of record in the Recorder's office, in Bedford, and is as follows: Know all men by these presents, that whereas a certain Garrett Pendergrass, senior, of Bedford settlement, in the province of Penna. Ac. of Cumberland, was settled some number of years past, by leave of the chiefs or deputies of the Six Nations of Indians, on a tract of land where Bedford now is situate,whiie the said land was yet the property of us. and our said chiefs and deputies, said Pendergrass being dispossessed of said land, in time of the war between the French and English, and before said Pendergrass could safely return to live 011 said land, it was entered upon by people, who have from time to time, and yet continue to keep said Pender grass from the enjoyment of said tract of land, said Pendergrass at the last treaty held at Fort Pitt with the repre sentatives of the said Six Nations, in formed our said chiefs, or their ropre sentatives or deputies, that he was de prived of the above tract of land as a bove mentioned, whereupon we, and our deputies, did then, at said treaty, give him the said Pendergrass our leave in writing, under our hands, to settle 011 a tract of land called the Long Resell, near the mouth of Youghagain, but the said last mentioned tract, being at the time of the said treaty, or before, im proved by some other person or persons, contrary to our expectation, for which reason, he, the said Pendergrass, has not obtained possession of the latter mentioned tract, and cannot quietly en joy neither of the two above mentioned tracts, know ye, therefore, that we the under, or within bound subscribers, who have hereunto caused our names to be set, and have put our marks; the first of us, assigning one of the chiefs, anil the other, two deputies of the said Six Nations, do give and grant, to the said Garrett Pendergrass, his heirs and trustees forever, our full leave and lib erty of us, and for behalf of the Six Nations, to settle on a tract of land 011 the north side of Aligaina river oppo site to Fort Pitt; to join the said river on the one side, and to extend one mile and a half from the landing on the north side of the said river Aligaina opposite to Fort Pitt, in form of a semi circle, from said landing, hereby grant ing to him, and his trustees and assigns, full liberty to build houses, make im provements and cultivate the said tract of land, or any part thereof, and that he, the said Pendergrass may the more quietly enjoy the said land, and any benefit that he, his heirs or assigns, shall make or can make thereby; we do for ourselves, and in behalf of said Six Na tions, discharge all people whatsoever from molesting or disturbing him, the said Pendergrass or his heirs, or trus tees, or assigns, in the possession or qui et enjoyment of the said land, or any part thereof, and we do by these pres ents firmly engage and promise to an swer all objection that any Indian tribe or tribts have to making of the above settlement. ANONQI:IT, ENISHSHERD, CON NEHRACA II K< AT. During the years 1754 —'55—'56, the Indians began to disappear from the valley of the Juniata. The Delawares and Shawanees had till gone prior to 1761 and the last of the friendly Six Nations left Aughwick (now Shirleys burg, Huntingdon county) in 1771. The measures taken by the Provincial au thorities for the subjugation, or rather extermination, of the Indians, were most severe and cruel. Bounties were paid for the sealpsof the savages, with out distinction as to sex. The friendly Indians were employed to hunt down those who were hostile and many of the former received the Government bounties for performing the barbarous feat of scalping the warriorsand squaws of their own race. Gov. Morris, about the year 17">4, thus addressed Scarroy ady, a great chief among the Indians of the Juniata valley, who resided at A ugh wick: "Brethren: —For the encouragement of you and all who will join you in the destruction of our enemies, I pro pose to give, the following bounties, or rewards, viz: For every male Indian prisoner above twelve years old, that shall be delivered at any of the governments, forts, or towns, one hundred and fifty dollars. For every female Indian prisoner, or male prisoner twelve years old and un der, delivered as above, one hundred and thirty dollars. For the scalp of every male Indian, of above twelve years old, onehundred and thirty dollars. For the scalp of every Indian woman fifty dollars." [TO BE CONTINUED.] ARK THE SOI THF.KV STATES TO BE REPRESENTED IN THE NEXT CON DRESS? At the assemhUng'of next (Vmgress ...V. umur, the first important ques tion that will arise will be upon the ad mission of representatives from the States lately in rebellion. It will come up before that body will be organized even, and in the process of organiza tion. And, however it may be decided by the Clerk of the old House of Rep resentatives, who holds his office, ac cording to law, till the new House he organized, and for the purpose of or ganizing it—whether he should decide to place the Southern representatives 011 the roll and admit them to a partic ipation in the election ofSpeakerornot, the question of their right to seats, with all the politicalbearings,will bediseuss ed. If the Clerk Mr. McPherson, should refuse to put these names on the roll the question would stand over till after the election of Speaker, and the discus sion deferred till the House be organiz ed and in full working order. But whenever the debate may arise, before or after the Speaker is elected, it will be very important, and probably excit ing. The question is entirely a new one, and there is no precedent to guide either the Clerk or the House. The action of the Clerk, then, is of the highest importance. There is no one to control him. Congress does not exist till organized. Neither the Presi dent nor any other officer of any depart ment of the government has authority in the matter. If he should adopt the theory of the administration, that the late rebel States never have been out of the Union, and have ceased to be members of it; that, in fact, they have not absolved and could not absolve their federal relations with the other States, he ought to place the names of the rep resentatives on the roll, provided the President should declare the rebellion suppressed and the States to lie exercis ing their functions again as heretofore and provided there be an law hinder ing him from doing so, It is said by the radicals, who oppose the admission of the Southern members, that there is a law which will prevent the Clerk giv ing to these members certificates of ad mission to the floor of Congress till their claims and eligibility to seats lie determined by the House. On the oth er hand, it is said that this act referred to, which was passed during the rebel lion, is neither applicable nor constitu tional. Without discussing this ques tion, it is evident that a grave responsi bility rests upon the Clerk, lie must decide what his duty is legally in the case; and if there be a doubt as to the legality or constitutionality of refusing to place the names of these members on the roll he should decide in accord ance with the restoration policy and wish of the President, and for the peace, harmony, and liest interests of the country. The admission of the Southern repre sentatives to the T >or by his certificates, whereby they nny participate in the election of a Speiker, would probably, settle the matter. It is not at all likely they would be ttrned out afterward.— But, looking at the political character of the Ilouseif organized withoutthem, we apprehend the conflict on the sub ject would ho fearful. Indeed, it is doubtful whether they would he admit ted at all. The radical element may be so strong; and determined that these gentlemen may he sent back to their home, and the country kept in a stase of anarchy. We recommend Mr. Mc pherson to'ponder well over those things and above all to put himself in rapport with President Johnson. Lethim learn what the wishes and policy of the Pres ident are, and act in accordance with these. He will be right then, and will obtain the commendation of the country. The consequences that would follow a rejection of the Southern members to seats in Congress, or a prolonged ag itation on the subject, ran be easily im agined. Every one looks with satis faction, if not admiration, upon the successful restoration policy of the Pres ident. The Southern people, frankly accepting the arbitrament of war, have gone to work in good earnest to bring themselvosin friendly political relations with the North. Shall they be disap pointed? Is the work of the adminis tration to be frustrated or delayed by a vindictive faction of radicals? Is it wise to keep open the wounds and alive the animosities made by the war? The re sponseof the whole country, apart from a certain set of crazy and selfish politi cians, is, No. From tiie Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, the response is, No. There is among the people a general sentiment of conciliation and a desire to stimulate fraternal feelings. We want no more sectional agitation. By nature we are a homogeneous people. The causes that divided us, and made oneseetion inim ical to the other, have been swept away, and the bitter feelings which the war inflamed may soon lie extinguished by magnanimity, conciliation, and pride in a common and mighty country. If we were to treat the .Southerners still as a conquered people, refuse them the political privileges they always enjoyed in common with ourselves, and conse quently alienate their feelings and ex j cite their passions, what could we ex pect but continued trouble? Is not his tory throughout all its pages full of ex amples to warn us against such a fatal course? We need domestic quiet. We have to provide for our enormous debt land maintain the credit of the Govern ment. This can only be done by peace and harmony at home and by the great est development of our resources.— Continued agitation would nnralvzeour efforts and destroy confidence. We should have to keep a large army, a host of satraps spread over the South, j and maintain despotic authority, all of which would increase our burdens, lim it our means and endanger our own liberties. There are, too, other considerat ions, showing why we ought to admit the representatives of the Southern States into Congress at once in order to have domestic tranquility and cement the bonds of union. Our foreign relations demand the attention of the country and government. Questions of great magnitude loom up that require allthe sagacity and firmness of the govern ment and unity of the people to solve them with dignity and safety. We have the difficulty with England relative to our claims to settle, which at present lias rather an ugly appearance. There is the question of Mexico, and a settle ment to be made with European Pow ers as to a fixed American policy re gar ding the affairs of this continent. Be sides, we require well established in ternational laws concerning maritime matters, neutrals, blockade, and other things, about which the present laws are very loose. Such weighty questions are pressing upon us and ought to be settled. If the country should be dis tracted by such a policy as the radicals would pursue, these questions must ei ther remain unsettled <>r foreign Pow ers will take advantage of our domes tic troubles to press upon us humilia ting terms. For all these reasons, and many more, we hope to see the restora tion of the Southern States completed by the admission of tiieir representa tives in Congress, as soon as that body shall meet, and thus have peace and harmony restored to the whole coun try. This is the sentiment of the peo ple also; and we give the Jacobin radi cals warning, that if they oppose such a wise and healing course they will be defeated, overwhelmed with obloquy, and will never be heard of again, ex cept to be execrated, as their prototypes, the French Jacobins, were.— jYeic York Herald. ARKANSAS ELECTION.— The St. Lou is Republican of Monday says: "A gen tleman from Little Rock informs us that the result of the election in that State luw been most auspicious for the Conservative Democratic party. Full returns have not been received at Little Rock, hut it wasquitecertain that Gib son, of Little Lock, Conservative Dem ocrat, was the successful candidate in the First Congressional District; Byers in the Second District, and Johnson in the Third District—his opponent, Lou don being of the same political, east. The Radicals made but a poor show in the contest. THE Pittsburg Chronicle, Republican, says: "The decided gains of the Dem ocratic party in such places as Cleve land and Cincinnati, Ohio, and in many counties of our own Shite, show that the oft-repeated assertion that the party is dead, is simply romantic."

For several weeks we rebs, so called, but now late of said country deceased, have been try in mighty hard to dosumthin. We didn't quite do it, and now its very painful, I assure you, to dry up all of a sudden and make out like we wasn't there. My friend, I want to say sumthin. I suppose there is no law agin thinkin, | but thinkin, don't help me. It don't let down my thermometer. Imustex plode myself generally so as to feel bet ter. You see I'm tryin to harmonise. I'm tryin' to soften down my feelins. I'm endeavorm to subjugate miself to a level of surrounding circumstances, but I can't do it until I am allowed to say samtnin. I want to quarrel with sumbody, and then to make friends. I ain't no giant killer. I ain't no Nor wegian bar. I ain't no boarconstruck ter, but I'll be hornswaggled if the tal kin and the writin and slanderin has all got to be done on one side any lon ger. Some of you folks havegot todry up and turn our folks loose. It's a bla med outrage, so called. Aint your ed itors got nuthin else to do but to peck at us, and squb at us, and crow over us? Is every man what kan write a paragraf to consider us as bars in a cage, and be always jobbin at us to hear us growl? Now you see, my friend, that's what's disharmonious, and do you just tell em, one and all e pluribus unu m, so called, that if they don't stop it at once, or at once turn us loose to say what we please, why, we rebs, so call ed, have unanimously and jointly re solved to—to—to—think very hard of it—if not harder. That's the way to talk it. I aint a gwinetoeommit myself. I know when to put on the breaks. I aint a gwine to say all I think, like Etheridge, or Mr. Adderag, so called. Nary time. No, sir. But I'll just tell it to you Arte mus, and you may tell it to your show: If we aint allowed to express our sen timents, we kan take it out in hatin ; and hatin runs heavy in my family shure. i hated myself sobadoncethat all the hair come off my head, and the man drowned himself in a hog waller that night.

Dul talkin the way I see it, a big fel ler and a little feller, so called, got into a lite, and tlicy fout and fout and fout a long time, and everybody all around kep hollerin hands off, but kep helpin the big feller, until finelly the little fel ler caved in and hollered enuff: He made a bully tite I toll you, Selah! Well what did the big feller do? take him by the hand and help him up, and brush the dirt off of his clothes? Nary time! No sur! But he kicked him ar ter he was down, and throwd mud on him, and drug him about and rubbed sand in his eyes, and now he's gwine about huntin up his poor little proper ty. Wants to confiscate it, so called. Blame my jaeketif it aint onuf to make your head swim. But I am a good union man—so call ed. I aint a gwine to fite no more. I shant vote for the next war.

I aint ashamed of nuthin, neither, aint repentin, aint ax in for no one horse' short winded pardon. Nobody needn't l>e playin priest around me. 1 aint got 110 $20,000. Wish I had; I'd give it-to the poor widens and orfins. I'd fatten my own numerous and interest in otf | spring in about 2 minute and a baff. They shouldn't eat roots and drink branch water any longer. Poor unfor tunate things! to cum into this suhloo nary world at such a time. There's f> orb t throwin his snout about loose, and by and by he'll hurt somebody. These niggers will have to go hack to the plantations and work. I aint agoin to support nary one of 'em, and when you hear anybody say so, you tell 'cm 'it's a lie,' so called. I golly, I hnint got nuthin to support myself on.

Are you and your folks so skeered of me and my folks that you won't let us have any amyuishin? Are the squirrels and crows and black rakoons to eat up our poor little corn patches? Are the wild turkeys to gobble ail around u. with impunity? If a mad dog takes the hyderfoby is the whole community to run itself to death to get out of the way? I golly! It looks like your pepul had all tuk the rebelfoby for good, and was never gwine to git over it.

Ax elderly gentlemen, traveling in a stage coach, was amused by the con stant war of words kept up between two ladies.
