Aug. 13. • COUNTY COMMITTEE. J
OUR fOl .NTV TICKET. j
The ticket placed before the people of Bed
ford County, by the People's Convention, last
week, is admitted to be one of the Lc.-t that
was ever offered by any party fur the public i
support,
GEORGE W. \\ ILLIAMS, of Napier Tp., ;
is wcdl aud favorably known throughout the
County as oue of the best and most clear head
ed farmers we have. He is decidedly popular
and will run a very strong vote. A3 a party j
man, he always jrasJiiuud battling 'fir,',,
right, in the strong Locofoco township of Na- j
pier, against tho greatest odds. He was born j
and raised iu Napier, and stands high wlier- '
ever known for his many good qualities. His
nomination is a grateful tribute to his worth. j
Ho will make tin intelligent and faithful mem- i
ber.
iiis colleague ou the ticket. GEORGE M . !
WALKER of®omerset County, is a very in
telligent and popular man, and will luna sttong
vote. Both candidates will be elected.
GIDEON D. TIIOUT, of St. Clair, our can- j
Uidate for Commissioner, is one of the best men !
iu the County, and will make ac excellent Com
missioner. He was lately a Poor Director, and
it is conceded on all hands that a better one
we never had. Bedford County, under Loco
foco ruauageiiieut has become, largely in debt, J
and uow that Mr. Whetstone, the only opposi
tion member iu the board goes out, it will be
to the interest of the people, that Mr. Trout
should be elected.
HENRY M. 110KE, of Snake spring, our ;
candidate for Poor Director, is a first rate j
man, well aud favorably known, and should be |
elected, if the people of Bedford County have ,
atiy interest in having at least one good man as
a Director, as Mr. Shuck's time expires this
fall. Mr. Amos, the opposition candidate, it is
said, can scarcely write Lis own name, which
should have its proper weight with the voters.
JAMES DARNELL, of Mouioe, for Audi
tor, is a good accountant, aud will make a first
rate Auditor, lie ought to be elected, as the
opposition Lave no oue in the Auditor's board.
WM. SHOWMAN, of Harrison, is just the
man for Coroner. No better could have been
taken up, and he will run a strong vote.
The Klautir Cable.
Most of our readers are uo doubt already
aware of the fact that the Atlantic Cable has
been laid. This is, probably, the greatest
event that has occurred within the present cen
tury, and the news of which has been received
all over the country with outbursts of joy. In
the principal cities cannon were fired, bells
""•g, nd many buildings illuminated. The
first despatuVi, after the fixtures at both ends
are completed, will be from Quceo Victoria to
President Buchanan, ami the uext, the Presi
dent's answer.
The intelligence uow is, that the Agamem
non has arrived at Valerius Bay, ami that the
cable is in complete workiug order. Wo give
the latest telegraphic news in another column.
A cotemperary, in announcing the great event,
says, the Old World and tho New now shake
bands cordially across the vast and watery
wilds of Neptune, defying alike /Eolus and
his winds, aud Boreas, tho "blustering railer,"
and bis storms Surely, this is a millenial al
liance of nations—a pledge from above, that
one grand step has been taken towards insur
ing the intermingling amity of our different
races—towards the concentration of all tribes
and kingdoms, of every clime aud every creed
into one great "family of man.'* Here the
submarine cable will not stop. The India and
Chinese seas, ami finally the foaming Pacific,
will be traversed, and thought, and idea, and
suggestion, an 1 principle, and doctrine, aud
philosophy, and a feuowle Ige of all tiling- sub
lunary, will speed from soul to sou'.,
'•From Indus to the pole.''
Magnificent to the last "syllable of record
ed time," will be the records of the nineteenth
century!
"You will kindly allow me to correct a very
gross error into which you have fallen, You
assert that, 'for upwards of fifty years, the Ga
zette has been the untiring advocate of Demo
crat io principles.' The Gazette never was the
advocate of Democratic principles until a lew
months before it passed into mv hands. Prior
to th t lime, it was, to the fullest extent, an
orgau of the Federal Party. CilAs MCDOW
ELL, Esq., who established the paper, never
made any profession of Democracy until GEN.
JACKSON vetoed that Monster, the Beak of the
United States, on which occasion he abandon
ed his former party and its odious principles,
and commenced battling manfully for Jackson
and Democracy. This was the condition in
which I found the Gazette at tbo time 1 pur
chased. and it is highly important that this fact
should be kept fairly before the people, in or
der that Democrats may cot be misled." - Let
ter of G. If . Bowman, in last Gazette.
This is a tissue of falsehood from beginning
to end. It is irue that the Gazette was a Fed- j
oral paper under McDowell, and it is equally
true that i; was so under Bowman. There are
men now living in Bedford, whom we could
name, that Mr. McDowell, a short time before
his decease, told that he was then what lie had |
always boor, a Federalist: and that he had ;
never changed his politics. Bowman, in hi
very first number, told his readers that the pol
ities of the paper, under his eoutrol, would nut
be changed. Tliey were not changed, and he
supported the same principles the Federal par .
ty always did, whilst the Inquirer always, as it ,
dors now, supported the principles of the old
Democratic party. Bow turn came to this town j
a Federalist, and hi served his apprenticeship .
in a Federal piintiug office in Virginia. The j
people should not be deceived by the lying j
statements of a political reprobate like Bow- :
.man, and th*y know him too well to be.
Jt SI AS WE EXPECTED. —Our cotempora- \
ry down street was evidently streiy exevci."?d j
over our late article, in which WU- remonstrated •
ui:h him about his juvenile aud bad habits of j
telling lies, calling names, and making "snoots" .
It is painful to see that he will take no advice
or adopt no suggestions, however kindly in
tended. These habits are apparently so con
firined, or so much a nart of
"to make lim incorrigible,— depraved beyond j
amendment. Instead of acting upon our sug
gestionsj intended for tho improvement of hi* '
maimers, he flies into a passion, and betakes |
himself to lying and caliing names, like a very
drab, and if be di 1 not also make "snoots," we j
ure glad to thiuk he adopted our suggestions, i
even to this extent. At the risk of having our
evidence again disregarded, we say, keep cool, 1
and don't allow your passions to rise; and if j
our advice be not taken, the consequences must i
be.
HARVEST UOME!—FBEE DINNER — j
NO 1 QUITE!---According to advertisements j
in the Gazette, and by handbills circulated all I
over the County, a Harvest lloiue Dinner came
off last Saturday, at Hafer's II tel. It was
given out that President Buchanan would take
Dinner there also, anu iu order to draw#s large
a crowd as possible there to see the President,
it was gotten out that all parties were freely !
invited to partake of the Dinner, "without
money aud without price," the bill to be footed
!by bis Excellency. A groat many persons
| came to town, but few took dinner—about sev-
I cnty-five, we understand, for we were not in
j town, and very few of tbem of the opposition.
The President was there, but those who partook
\ of the refreshments had to foot their own bills,
! and many of the "faithful" returned to their
j homes with "curses loud and deep" agaiust
bogus democracy aud deception.
CONGRESS.
We learn tlrat at the Congressional Confer
ence for this district, which met in Chambcrs
: burg ou Tuesday last, EDWARD MCPIIERSON,
j Esq., of Adams County was on the fifth ballot
nominated for Congress. Mr. MoPbcrson is a
young man of extraordinary talents, a good
speaker, and one of the best political writers
lin the State. He has for years been connect
ed with the press, and contributed more, pro
i bablv, than any other man, to the sale of the
i public works of this state. He was the author
! of the series of articles, which we published
! last summer on that subject, signed "Adams "
.He is popular, and will run well. Tho feeling
; is strong in favor of his electiuu, and the de
feat of Reilly. lie will address our meeting
in Court Week.
"Beef-Hecls" is informed, for the forty-'hv
onth time, that it matters not to whom ho at
tributes our articles. They are well written,
read well, and, vse presume, on this account, he
attributes them to one of the most talented men
in the State, so that he may have an opportu
nity of squirting his dirty water at him. "Beef-
IRols," since he has called into his editorial
columns weekly, the services of the " tat yen
ted" "poet laureate," tbiuks that no other editor
can write for his own paper. Go it, "beef-heels,"
i there'll soon be another looofoco coiruption

FRANCIS P. BI.AIR JR., WAS defeated at the
electiou in St. Louis by a small majority.
"You claim the credit of being the first to
publish a paper in Bedford for one dollar and
fifty cents a year. This is the fact, but the
subscribers to the Gaz-tle never grumbled at
two dollars JI year, and I do not think any man
should be asked to publish a country weekly
for less.— G. (V. Bowman, in the last Gazette.
More lies 1 The Bedford Chronicle , pub
lished in Bedford a few years ago, was only
§1,50 per annum as, we think was also the
Jackson Oimocrat. The subscribers to the
Gazette , we have reason to know, did grumble
at the terms under Bowman, and Mr. Benford,
chief of the three editors, in his lust paper, iu
a note to this Bowman letter, contradicts him
and states that"lt was at the earnest solicita
tion of many of their patrons that they reduced
the subscription price of their paper."
Bowman, in his letter in the last Gazette
deprecates tho starting of a "Young Men's
Christian Association" iu Bedford, and inti
mates that it will will do no good. Everybody
knows that these Associations have done im
mence gool all over tho couutry, Locofccoism,
as a party is opposed to everything that will
advance the cause of Christianity an i truth.—
Christians sec this doctrine iu the last Gazette.
IN TOWN.- Our f;ien>!, D. J. CHAPMAN,
Es<| , and lady, of Philadelphia, arrived in our
town last Wednesday morning. Wo ure
pleased to learn that it is Mr. Chapman's en
teution to remain amongst his old associates
abr-ut a month. Our people are always pleas
ed to take him 1>) the hand, and welcome him
to our town.

KANSAS ELECTION. — Tho election in Kansas
has resulted in the overwhelming triumph of
the Free State men, nearly every Ouunty in the
Territory ha? gone by large majorities Against
the Euglish swindle. Poor Mr. Buchanan,
and Lecomptonites generally, what will you do
now. Particulars nest week.
Bowman in his last letter in the Gazette j
virtually admi's the defeat of Porter for Su- ■

Sr. JOIIX'S (N. P.) AUGUST s.—Tiie AT- \
lantie cable has probably been successfully !
laid. The Niagara arrived at Trinity Bay j
yesterday. The cable will be landed to-day. •
The signals were perfect throughout.
TRIBUTE BAY, AUGUST s.—The Atlantic i
Telegraph fleet sailed from Queons'own, Ire
land, on the 17th of July, and met in mid
ocean on the 28th. They made one splice on
the 20th at 1 o'clock P. M. aud then separated
—the Agamemnon ari l Valorous being bound
to Valencia, and the Niagara and Gurgou for
this place, where we arrived yesterday, and the
cable will be landed to-day.
The cable laid is 1,698 nautical, or 1,950
statute miles long, from the telegraph house
here (it Bull's Bay) to the head of Valencia
harbor, and is laid for more tbau two-thirds of
th it distance in water over two miles deep.
The cable was paid out from the Agamemon 1
at about the same speed as from the Niagara,
and the electric signals scut and received
through the whole cable are perfect. The
machinery for pay ing out the cable worked
most satisfactorily, ;uid was not stopped for a
single moment.
Captain Hudson, Messrs. Everett and Wood
house, engineers and electricians, the officers
of the ship, and in fact every man on board
the fleet exerted themselves to the utmost to
make the expedition successful, and by the
blessing of Divine Providence they succeed- ;
cd.
After the end of the cable is landed aud
connected with the land lines the Niagara,
after discharging some cargo belonging to the j
Telegraph Company, will go to St. John's for
coal, and then proceed ut once to New York.
GYRUS W. FIELD.
PHILADELPHIA, AUG. s.—The President,
at Bedford, received the first intimation of the
success of the cable enterprise. The following
is a copy of Gyrus W Field's message to tho
President .
TRINITY BAY, AUG. 5.
To the President of the United Stales :
DEAR SIR : The Atlantic Telegraph cable
on board the United States frigate Niagara and
her Britannic Majesty's steamship Agamemnon
was joined in mid-ocean on July 29th and has
been successfully laid ; and as soon as the two
ends are connected with the laud lines Queen
Victoria will send a message to you. The ca
ble will thcube kept free until after your re
ply has been transmitted.
With great respect, I remaiu your obedieut
servant.
CYRUS W. FIELD.
HALIFAX, AUGUST 6.—Tho Newfoundland
Telegraph ceased to work early last evening,
thus cutting off ill communication with Trinity
Bay.
At the time the last despatch was sent the
engineers and their assistants were employed in
gittiug the cable ashore.
No doubt was entertained that the Agamem
non had arrived at Valencia Bay ; bur, as the
Telegraph instruments for the transmission of
intelligence have never been put on board of
either vessel there cau be no actual communi
cation, except by signals, until after both euds
of tho cable shall have been connected with tho
shore, which may require several days.
The President replied as follows to Mr.
fiield s note, informing him of the opening of
communication with England :
BEDFORD SPRINGS, AUO. 6.
GYRUS W. FIELD, Trinity Bay :
My DEAR SIR : 1 congratulate you with all
! my heart on the success of the great enterprise
with which your nanic is honorably connected.
Under the blessing ot Divine Providence 1
trust it may prove instrumental in promoting
perpetual peace and friendship between the
kindred nations. I have not yet icceived the
Queen's despatch.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN
SACKVILLE, (ME.) AUGUST 6.— The lines
east to Halifax and west to New Yoik are in
good order, but tho Newfoundland line is in
operative. It gave out east of this point early
last evening.
TEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.— The Telegraph is
still down between Port 1 Loo 1 and Cape Bret
ou. '1 here is tlie Past doubt, however, of the
absolute correctness of Mr. Field's report of
yesterday. The weather is wet and disagreea
ble-
Signals Kept Up-—Complete Success-
I KIJUTY BAY, Aug. 7. —The most complete
success has attended the Dying of the Atlantic
Telegraph Cable, and the telegraphic signals
are being transmitted through the entire length.
It is unlikely that the line will bo opened
for several days, and perhaps weeks, delay be
ing necessary to give the electrici ics time for
a series of experiment .
Due notice of the opening fir business will
be given.

i These figures represent nothing more than the
specific appropriation*. The indefinite appro
priations, including claims and the like, are
variously estimated, and by a statemeut put
I forth under the inspiration of the Treasury De
partment are estimated at §3,500,000. We
put them at §2,000,000. The iutcrest v the
public debt is provided for in the bills author
izing the loans or notes, aud hence no annuel
appropriation is made. That item belongs to
'he permanent class. The grand total is there
fore as follows :

This more thau justifies all the denunciations

and that sum was §14.000,000 iu excess of
Pierce's last year—lBs6. So it seems we are
getting on rapidly.

To euro the eviK of the banking system —
establish a sub-troasury and issue treasury

To make trade good import hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of merchandise a year,

To help workingmen —shut up their work

To promote the interests of the producer—

To preserve the Union—compel the people
of the Free States to bow to the lash of the
Southern disuoionists and nullifiers.
To maintain the rights of the States—pass a

To administer the Government with economy
—spend all the surplus on bond and than run

readers with notes aud comments.— Fret- Prieit.
Why do w© not own Frazer's River?
Many of our readers will remember that the
folk party in 1841, when the Oregon bund iry
question was up, insisted upon our right to the
territory np to 54 deg. 40 loin. Mr. Polk
himself declared our title up to that line was
clear and unquestionable; and the party cry,
then, was "fifty-four-forty or fight." Yet in
1840, the Polk administration, Mr. Buchanan
being Secretary . f Slate, uiade a treaty sur
rendering all our territory tioith of latitude
forty-nine and west of Puget Sound, to Great
Britain. The extent of terri'ory thus relin
quished was 150,000 square miles- Within
the region thus surrendered lies thu fiazer
river Gold Mines. Mr. Polk claimed great
credit for acquiring the gold region of Ouli
toruia j but the gold discovered when
California was acquired. * It was a conquest,
and considered at the tiuro a barren one ; but
the regiou voluntarily surrendered north of 40
deg. was ours by tight and was intrinsically
valuable. It thus turned out that we gave up,
through the cowardice and slavishness of Bu
chanan and democratic administration, a
valuable regiou of 150,000 square miles, em
bracing the immensely rich gold-bearing valley
of Frazer's lliver, m: l then fought for the
acquisition ot barren region from Mexico,
which was afterwards accidentally discovered
to ne rich in deposits-of gold. The Albany
Evening Journil justly says :
"Amuj toe congratulations which greet the
Discoveries of Gold at Frazer's lliv.r, are
mingled some very natural regrets that the said
gold belongs to Queen Victoria's dominion in
stead of cur own.
Q teen \ icturia derives her title to it, wheth
er well or ill founded, through the D.mocratic
1 arty of the United Bfatcs. Everybody re
members the vociferous brag of "Fifty-Four
IcrJj, or Light! with which Prtoident Polk's !
Administration was ushered in. The Bounda
ry be:weeu us and the British Possessions was 1
ttieu unsettled, and the country was assured
by the proclamation of Democratic Presses and
Politicians th t the Treaty about to be made
should secure us all the Territory up to the
I neof 54 deg. 40 min.,tr else we should try
the virtue or "force and arms"' to compel ,
Greatsßritain to accede to that line.
But in this case, as iu that of Kansas, our \
; I tnancial J oliey, and others "too numerous to ;
: mention,' Democratic professions proved to bo i
; very diffcreut from Democratic practice. The !
f hy? 1 ' r"ywiy ui& tt-j out get i
Forty" nor "Fight," but we sub- j
| milled to take only up to 49 deg., aud to give j
I up ali claim to Vancouver's Island, eveu as far j
j south as 48.
Thus it happened that Fi.zer's Kiver, with j
| all its appurtenant 'bars,' 'placers,' 'gulches,' ;
! Mines and other depositories of golden Wealth, j
' which are in the latitude of 494 fell into the'
j hands of our British neighbors, and the new j
j Gold Colony to be founded tbere will enrich j
• the coffers ot the Chancellor 01 the bxchc'piet J
; instead of those of the Secretary of the Treas- j
jury.
Either our claim of 54: 40 was just or it |
! was unjust. If it was unjust, the Adiuinis- |
| tration had no business to make it. If it was
| just, they ought never to have backed out of
! it. Imagine whit malediction and railing and ;
: storming at the cowardly 'British \Vhi<*s" j
j would have graced the colums of our Demo- i
| era tie cotemporarics just now, had it. been an j
I Administration of opposing political opinions |
| which made this unlucky concession. But as
: it is, they find silence in regard to the past !
j history of Frszer's Kiver, as convenient as it j
[ is expressive.
KOYISti COMHiSSIO.YS.
The general telegraphic dipatcb from this
J city, of July 28, says :
"The President, before leaving for Bedford
j Springs, appointed John Nugeut, Esq., editor
1 of tho San Francisco Herald , who is now here,
jan agent to proceed to Frazcr river, to make
i propei representations to the citizens of the
| United States, with the view of preventing i
i collisions or outbreaks in that quart
i Of course, this is n mere job, gotto re
; ward a partisan for whom nothing else could
|be found. It is mere nonsense to say that our
| citizens in New Caledonia need any instructions
i in their duties, and if they did need any, what
i peculiar fituess has Mr. Nugent to give them ?
' What can bo more impolitic, what more calcu
j lated to arouse the jealousies of the British
authorities, than sending an American Govern
ment agent into British territory 1 Of course,
Mr. Nugent would like to make a trip to ttye
j Frazor mines at the public expense, but this
; is not a sufficient reason for allowing him to
j put his.hands iuto the Treasury.
I The amount of money speut by this Admin
istration in these roving commissions is enor
mous. It is only lately that William Carey.
Jones returned from Nicaragua, whore he had
j been capering about fur a year, at nobody
knows how much cost, and ali to reward him
for writiug letters against his brother-in-law,
! Col. Fremont. It is now sail that Francis J.
• Gi und has gone on a .secret mission to Europe,
to reward him for his libels upon honest men,
: and his ready apologies for the corruption .nd
rascality of the party iu power. Aud these
are only samples of the style iu which the Ad
ministration appropriates the public money to
I feed its partisans.— Washington Republic.
We see that a number of the papers in the
iuteiior are opposed to the military encampment
which is to come off in Ueptciuber at Williams
port. Tlicy say the location is not ouly un
healthy, but it. will cost the State over $lOO,-
000. Several of our contemporaries suggest a
j postponement of tho affair until next year. Iu
the present depressed state of business, we
think the suggestion a good one.— Ex.
The suggestion is eminently proper. No
satisfactory reason can be assigned for the cx-
I penditure of $lOO,OOO at the expense of the
, .State, without the hope of adequate compensat
ing benefits.

OB I'l I'ART
MR. EDITOR : —li becomes my painful duf- t■■ ■; -
nouttce through your columns, the death ,f E:--
rso 11. 11. BARSDOLI.AR, son of Jacob a-.,: Efi-a
Barn<lo 1 t,- of our vUßge. More u tw.. years
ago, consumption, that fell destroyer of ourrse--.
wliieh, in these litter days, is hmrying so m • ,
the crave, laid its tiold upon him. and <in UJI
linquish it until the work of death w.. c
pitted. If medical rid or sympathising f i . .s
covihl have prolonged his existence, he would '
have die-i; bntlhe decree had gene for'' "dus:
thou art, and untc dust shalt thou loturn.'
About one ytar ago, at a camp reacting held
near this place, lie was found a weeping penitent r.t
Hie mercy scat, at the midnight hour, —the hoar < f
tbe watchman's cry. "the morning breakcth." Tic
glorious morning light of spiritual day bn ke upon
Ids soul, and ho realizeil, in all its fnliness, the
language of the l'rophet, "Arise and shine, thy
ligtit being come, and of God is ris :i up
on thee."
Since that time, he v. ;l s a constant ttUenuatd p
on the services of the sanctuary, only when pr- -
vented by his dis use. So eager was he to he
found in the enjoyment of the means of grace, that
he could always have raid, wiih David.•'•My .v -.1
thirsteth for God, yea, for tbe living God. When
shall I come and appear before God." The wntf
of this had several conversations with hftu on i.iu
subject of the grave and eternity, and always fouu 1
him ready to give a r. ~- >n tor the hope that w.-.s
within him. The morning ho died, and only a v
moments before his departure, a relative s:>:a to
him: "Edmund, do you know you are on thever u
of eternity I" "Yes," hs said. "Well," said tie
samt person,"it wonid he a satisfaction to yo; r
friends to know that allisbidgbt before you leav
lie replied, "'All is bright." then "senk in *
that soft rcp*e. a>id woke to perfect happi
ness."
This is wr tten, not only to teach the young that
they must die, but to show them that virtue and re
ligion alone can give a bright f>assago to the tomb.
11 is funeral was preached in the M. E. Church, by
the Rev. G. Tarring Gray, from 1 Theg.,4lh chap..
14th verso. "For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him." J. A. C
