SURVEYOR GENERAL. GEN. WILLIAM 11. KEIM, BERKS COUNTY. •'POOR WHITE TRASH.'* In a tecent issue we denied that Horace Greely, the editor of the New York Tribune ever called poor white people "poor white trash," as charged iu the Bedford Gazette.— The Gazette last week reiterates the falsehood, but instead of producing any proof, says that -"if Mr. Jordan will briug us (the editors of ihe Gazette) the files of the Tribune for the last year, we (the editors of the Gazette) will obli gate ourselves to show it to him." Was ever anything meaner than this? The charge was made by the Gazette, and the deni al by us; and wo demanded the proof. Instead of producing it, the falsehood is repeated, and Mr. Jordan is called on to produce "the files of the Tribune Jor the last year." Why con uuct Mr. Jordan in any way with the contro versy, when he has nothing to do with it, and very likely Lad not seen.it in either paper?— If the G-zette had copied his falsehood from the Tribune, as lie preteuds to have done, why not name or refer to the No. or date of the pa per ? Evidently because there is r.o such pa per, and because Greely never used any such language, as his calumniators charge upou him. Mr. Jordan is asked to piouiice, not some par ticular paper, or No. of the Tribune, but the files of the last year ! How palpable the false hood, how gross the libel. The poor whites of the South, made and kept poor by the institution of slavery amongst them, have time out of mind been called even by the slaves, "poor white trash." Aud our hutuble white men of the North, by Locotoeo editors, oratojg, and Congressmen, have re peatedly been called "uiul sills/' "greasy uic cbauics," "small-fisted farmers," aud many other similar degrading mimes. The editors of the Gazette never had any condemnation for their party friends who used such leruisj. and never undertook the defence of the poor labor ing man. But LOW, when a point is lo be made against a Republican editor, word* are put into his mouth which he never uttered, and slanders are repeated and reiterated, in the desperate hope of injuring the American aud Republican eause. At tha same time the li belet holds in h; 0 h estimation Senator Ham mond, aud other L iders of his party, who did use the very term! complained of, aud others referred to eveu worse. Horace Greely does say that modern democracy itself is a great organized lie, in which opinion he is correct, and pet haps it would be expecting too much of its party editors to look for anything better from theui. Any other expectations in this part of the country could certainly nercr be icalizod. FIRE! On Saturday morning last, between 5 and 6 o'clock our citizens were agin aroused by tho cry of fire. It was found to proceed from the frame cabinet shop of Isaac Mengel, Jr. It was soon enveloped in flames, which rapidly spread to the log dwelling home of Mr. Men gel adjoining. The shop in a short tuue was totally destroyed with all its contents. The house was a!*o nearly consumed, nothing re insining but ihe outside shell. The dwelling of Mr. Andrew Middleton near by was also somewhat damagod. So intense was the heat that the house of Mr. Samuel Shuck on the opposite side of tie street was saved with some difficul ty, the painting being considerable scorched. The fire company as soon as they got their engines on the ground performed! first rate service. Had it not been for the slight mistake by some persohs who we understand were not members of the company, in putting tho wrong end of the Lose to the engine,the dwelling might hare been saved. Citizens and all deserve great credit for their efforts in aiding to extinguish the fire. Mr. Meugel's entire loss in furniture, tools , and lumber, is estimated ut between six and ' soveu hundred dollars. The house aud shop! belonged to Mr. John I*. Heed, whose loss is probably about six bundled dollars. No in surance on any of the property. The fire origi nated by accident. • STATE CONVENTION. —To the exclusion of ruany other matters, we publish the proceedings of the late People's Slate Convention. In re gard to the Uieuts aud qualifications of the candidate* nominated by it, we said our say iu v far too meagre. The editor of the-Pittsburg Dis patch, who is well informed ou this subject, and publishes all Iris uuthotities iu full, comes to the following conclusions: Ist, That the great wheat growing regiou of the West is uninjured. 2J, That later teports—which wo have in several instances—will bring better new-. 3J, That there is no occasion for a wheat and flour panic. 4th, That corn, potatoes, and garden vege tables—if no further disasters Lappeu— will be abundant, tlmugh a month later in yield. Oth, That there will be a fair supply of the most valuable of *ll fruits, apples, uud a tole rable show of less indispensable fruits and berries. G b, That those who purchase flour and wheat at high panic rates, will regret it before September. Every journalist will testify that while eve ry disaster affecting tba crops is invariably pub lished and exaggerated, anything tending to reuuee prices is pa-sed over in solemn silence. Everybody knows who has lived in the coun try, what a remarkably cheerful body of men farmers are, how invariably the weather suits them, how sanguine arc their anticipations of good crops—in short, to drop the ironical, how prone they are to keep up, even to themselves, representations whiob may teud to raise prices. When we cousider the precarious uature of crops, and how a few degrees change iu the thermometer may destroy the hopes of mouths, this is uatural enough. But the country at laree should in ail cases know the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.'' l>ia Snake ! —A few days ago, as the m:il hack from Cumberland to Bedford, was passing along, about one mile souih of the Half-Way- House, a large snake of a dirty black color was lying across the road. The driver, Mr. Samuel Bagley, drove the hack swiftly, loth wheels ruiming over it, but without apparently injuring the snake. The driver and Mr. A. B. Cramer of this place, then got out, aud fought it with A rail, it run into a fence corner, raised its head on the fence, the other part of its body being cutleU up. Mr. Bagley got on the fence and struck it on the body with a stone of 25 or 30 pounds weight, which bounced off apparently not injuring it. Tbpy not cariug to risk themselves iuauy more danger,let the snake make tracks through the fields at a speed of 2.40. The snake was as thick is man's leg, and from 10 to 15 feet in length. This is an '•ower true" sti.ike story. WHAT A PITY ! —We pity tho Gazette, in its sore trouble at the complete failure of the so-called American Convention, at. llurrisbuig. The whole movemeut was a bastard affair got ten up by a half dozen side-door men, to play into the hands of the Loeofocos, for a consider ation! The true Americans of every CouDty or City in the State, had nothing to do with it. We do really pity that paper iu its tribulations, at the unity which pervades our ranks, and tho hopeless and incurable divisiouu and dissensions in its own. What a pity : PETERSON'S CHEAT EDITION or Siu WALTER SCOTT'S WORKS. — We have received three mors numbers of the cheap edition of the Wavcrly Nov els, now in course of publication by T. B. Peter son & Brothers of Philadelphia—"Waverly," the "Antiquary," and "Old Mortality." These are aT.ong the best novels that were ever written, and are interwoven with many of the nn.st interesting portions of Scottish history. These novels are published complete in weekly numbers at 125 cents a copy, or Jive dollars for the entire sett of twenty six volumes, post paid. We cowuieud the determination of this enterpiising Philadelphia firm, to furnish the works of an'author like Walter Scott, at a price so reasonable, that all persons whatever may possess a full set; and direct the Special attention of our reiders to the fact, ad vising them to make a remittance of five dollars t once and (litis secure an early copy of those stand ard worl s. Tho following dispatch is from our particular friend, D. J. Chapman, Esq: PHILADELPHIA, June 15, 1859. The annual examination of the Cadets of West Point was concluded yesterday. Among the names of the first in the graduation class is that of Abrauj K. Arnold, sou of Capt. Arnold •of your place. Lieutenant A is a clever young follow, and is the first Bedford boy, 1 believe, who has over graduated at West Point, and her citizens ought to be proul of his success. SOMERSET COUNTY. —We have heard from persons from Somerset County, that the dam age by the frost Ins been greatly exaggerated. Some of the fruit has been destroyed, but the wheat and rye, Las sustained but little injury, and the crop will be a* good as last year. NOTlCE. —Subscriptions to the club for the New York Weekly Tribune will te received by S. J. Way. Send in your names immedia tely. Term-i $l,OO a year. BEBFO3RO IMaUIRSB. THE NEW BANK appears to be doing a good business. We know Messrs. Reel and Rupp, two of the finu, to be as safe anu relia ble men as are iu Bedford. The other mem ber of the firm, Mr. J. J. Scbell, lately of Somerset, stands No. 1. in tbat place. STATE CMTIO.I In pursuance of a cull issued by the Ameri can-Republican State Committee, a Convection of delegates representing the various counties in the State met at Harrisburg ou Wednesday, Juue Bth, 1859, in the Hull of the Hoiese of Representatives, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the office of Auditor General and Surveyor General.

Mr. Tiggart made the following remark : Gentlemen of the Convention: If the honor you have done tc is to be measured by the high character and intelligence of this body, or the political power and uioral grauueur of the party it represents, then indeed it is an houor to bo long remembered and gratefully appreciated. Never before in the history of Pennsylvania, was a political convention as sembled together, under more favorable cir cumstances —having behind it so great a uu merieal force —aud proclaiming more glorious and more irrefutable principles, i see before uio the picked meu of a party which stands un changeably and unanimously upon the broad est practicable platform of human liberty, and which avows itself fearlessly and at all times, the champion of American iuierestsand Amer ican industry. Such is the great American Republican Party of Pennsylvania, as stroug to-day :u its deathless principles, aud strocgei to-day in the multitude of its adherents, than any party that ever existed in the Common wealth, —so strong that nothing short of inter nal disseusions, instigated by petty pique and personal disappointment, can endanger iis suc cess. I trust in God, no false-hearted traitor can be found to strike the fatal blow. Three years ago, because the great Opposition Party of the United States was divided, a weak, bad man was carried iuto power, against a popular majority of nearly 400,000. We thought it then a terrible calamity but, thank Heaven for Lis weakness, La has proven himself to he the must efficient ally our party ever h id! lie has never omitted a single op portunity to increase cur strength aad verify our predictions, until his supporters in every section of the eouutry are forced to exclaim, in the words of the Roman orator, '-How loug, O, Buchanan: will you continue to abuse our patience!'' ileory Okay and Dauiel Webster, tu the palmiest days of their unclouded intel lects, ware uot o potent for the duwafaii of the taisu Democracy, as ihe cold-hearted, tim orous eld uua, whom they have elevated to power. From the 4th of March, 1557, to the present moment, he has availed himself of ev ery occasion to pull down the scaffold on which he climbed. It is worthy of observation, that ho began at the top, uud kicked over tue high est timbers first. Walker and Douglas, Forn ey and Hickman, Ilsskin tmd Clark! Some of these have shown themselves sounder at the heart, and muoh clearer of sap than we once gave tuern credit for being, fur they have not broken in the fall. But though they aid not break themselves, they made sad havoc among the scrub timbers and oottouwood slabs below them. The shiv ered spiiuters are lying loose ail around us iu Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, and a tew even dowu in Virginia!— But the worst shattered of them all, are still nearer home, iu Berks, Montgomery, Philadel phia, Northumberland, Montour, Cliutou, Eik, Cumberland aud Frankiiu. And we dou't care bow Reilly they Ahl get if we tell them so. Aud although lam happy to say that it is hardly possible for any man or set of men, to deprive us of success, let me remind you that we cau afford to be forbcariug and geueious. Let me remiud you that what we bestow on one another, we take trom tho common foe!—a foe that delights iu torging chains for Americans, while it takes ctjual delight in fosteriug foreign interests and foreign industry. Let our flag wave not ODIJT over a camp exultant in victo ry, but harmonious and undivided in its exul tations. Gentlemen of the Oonventiou: of course I am grateful to you for the comfortable seat you | have assigned uie. I will endeavor to fill it and deserve it. Whilst Mr. Taggart made bis icmarks he ! was very frequently applauded by the dele | gates. Mr. Todd moved that the Chairman appoint a committee of niue on resolutions. Mr. Dicky moved to uuiend the same in suoh a manner that the delegates select one mem ber from each Senatorial district, for the pur pose of forming a Committee to report resolu tions to the Convention, which was agreed to without discussion. Mr. Hiestand moved that tho Convention | now proceed to tuko general nominations for Auditor General and Surveyor General, which was agreed to. AUDITOR UKNEUAL. Mr. Hall nominated Geo. V. Lawrence.

The Convention theu took a recess for the purpose of giviug the Committee ou Resolutions time to deliberate on the same. At six o'clock the Convention was again call ed io order. Mr. TODD, oa behalf of the Committee on Resolution", reported the following, viz ; Retained , Ist. That Executive intervention to prostrate the will of the people, constitu tionally expressed, either iu the States or Ter ritories, is a dangerous eleuieut of Federal power, and that its exercise by the present Chiel Magistrate ot the Republic, as well in elections as upon the Representatives of the people, meets our decided disapprobation. 2.

MOilE FAVORAHLE ACCOUNTS LEAVENWORTH, June 10. —Advices brought here by express coatees from Denver City, (which started ou the Ist iust.)eoutaiu most ex traordinary accounts regarding the gold dig gings, and are ea.eulated to renew the fever with tenfold more virulence thau ever. li:ch nuggets had beeu discovered ou tha North Fork aud Vasquez Creek. They were principally of coarse gold and decomposed quartz. Great excitement prevailed throughout the country, and the statements of the yield by Gregory's and other tniuiog compauios are al most fabulous. It is said that a company from Indiana are making from §l5O to §SOU a day. The other accounts are of the same character end unvarying. The letters, which seem to have been written under the influence of the prevailing excitement are in strong contrast with the previous gloomy reports. The dost taken out of Gregory's mines alone, it is estimated, amounts to §20,000. Dauver City was almost depopulated, by the people leaving for the mouutaius. Provisions oon;;oued scarce at tho mines. Twenty thousand dollars were offered for claim*. Subsequent arrivals wiil determine the cer tainty of this information, tmtjnone of the ac counts received differ ia their tenor. Rich specimens of the gold have .been also received by this arrival. This community is intensely excited in con sequence.
