We have been informed by SAMUEL KET TEIIMAN, ESQ., County Surveyor for this county, that a prominent Republican offered biui FIFTY DOLLARS if he would oppose and electioneer against Hon. W. P. SCHKLL Mr. Ketterman, like a man aDd a Democrat, spurned tbe proffered bribe, sayiug that he did not keep bis principles for sale. Tbe Dame of the person who made this offer is withheld for the present. This is another instance of the fraud and corruption by which the Black Re publicans carried the late election. Shall they go uorebuked.— Bedjord Gazette. How a plain tale will put down a liar. We had a eonversatien with Nlr. Ketterman in our office, a few days ago, in relation to the article in the last Gazette, copied übove. He stited to us, in presence of the hands in oar office, "that he never authorized Mr. Meyers to pub lih this article, that he did not thank him for publishing it, that the person that made him tho offer docs not live id Bedford County, that he doe 3 not live in the Congressional district, that ho does no l kuow whether tho man is a Repub lican or a Bell man or what his politics are, and that he believes him to he a personal euemy of Schell." We urged Mr. Ketterman to prose cute the man, but ho stated that be "would rather have his neck cut off than do so or tell Lis name!" The whole thing iook9 rather sus- picious, and persons ean believe it or not, as tbey choose, but to our mind it may have been intended to cover some of tbe dark transactions of a similar character of the friends of Mr. Schell. BI.AIR COUNTY NORMAL SCHOOL AND SEMINARY.— We eall attention to the adver tisement of this Institution, in this week's pa per. It is located in Martinsburg, Blair Co., Pa., a healthy and beautifo! locality. The Principals are Professors E. J. Osborne and J. W. Diekerson, who ore both well known in Bedford County—Mr. Osborne as Principal of the Ailegheuy Mala and Female Seminary, at Rsiusborg, which was brought into a flour ishing condition by him. Mr. Diokerson has been the teacher of the High School in this place, and well liked by all. As a scholar, ho stands high. Ainbrolypcs! Ambrotype*!! FRANK STEWART is still taking splendid Ambrofypo Likenesses, at bis Car, in the Square, nearly opposite the Court Honse.— His pictures are unrivalled for beauty and truthfulness, end are taken on tbe cheapest tortus. Call on him and get your and one for your sweet-heart or friend. LINCOLN MEN! The Looofocos are holding meetings all oror the County for the pnrpQse jf earrying their fusion Reading electoral Douglas and Breckin ridge ticket. Dou't let yourselves be caught napping but get out every Lincoln voter in every district, and ypu will earry the County high and dry for •'Honest CM J Abe." Hare Ihe Wagons Keadj. Lst all our friends in the different districts Lave their wagons, buggies and horses on the ground to briQg out the old, tbe careless, and the sick. Have every vote oat, and Linooln will ba elected. There is nothing to prevent our carrying Bedford Connty, if our friends all turnout next Tuesday. LIME! LIME! Messrs. Smith & Fisber have leased of Mr t Fr. Naugle, the lime kno, just adjoining Bad ford, where they keep constantly 00 h'ud the best quality of lime. Farmers should pay at tention to this matter. Tbe official majorty of Col. A. 0. Curtm, in Pennsylvania, is 32,164. The lalle as pj'dished by us fast week was not quite com plete. The Great dwindle. Tbe Douglas blowers and strikers ore circu lating the story all over the county, that the Breckinridge ticket had been withdrawn and that there was no other ticket in tbe fieid now, than tbe straight Douglas ticket. The fact is just the ether way. It is tbe Douglas ticket that has been withdrawn; the Breckinridge ticket remains in tbe field, just as it was nominated at Reading. The demo crats, however, arc not a reading people, and the most of them can be deceived with this new lie. At tbe meeting of the Douglas State Com mittee, when the proposition was made to adopt the Reading ticket, Mr. Doughterty moved to strike from that ticket the names of Geo. M. Keiin, Frederick A. Server, John G. Brenner, Joel Lightoyr, John A. Ahl, H. N. Lee, Chas. Kelly, Oliver P. James and Wra. C. Patter son, who have either refused to pledge them selves for, or have openly avowed their hostil ity to, Stephen A. Douglas and Hersobcl V. Johnston, the only regular nominees of tho Democratic party for President and ice Pres ident. This.motioo was rejected, and the committee thus resolved to adopt a ticket one-half of which is composed of Breckinridge men, known to be soch. The head of the tieket, Geo. M. Keiru, is an open and avowed Breckinridge man, and the Pittsburg Gazette says that N. P. FettermaD, the elector for that district, is also a Breckinridge man. And yet these men are to be palmed off upon credulous democrats as Douglas men and nothing else ! It makes no difference, however. The Reading ticket cannot poll the vote given to Foster. There are hundreds of men in this State who voted for Foster, who will scorn to vote for this deliberate cheat. Foster has been beaten 32,000, and the Reading ticket will be bcateo 60,000. The Greeosburg Argus, a strong Douglas paper, and the orgaD of Gen. Henry D. Fos ter, in Westmoteland county, in its issue of the 25th nit., speaking of the action of the Douglas State Committee, says: "How far this late aotion of the Welsh Com mittee may satisfy tie steadfast and true De mocrats who stood by the regular nominations, in the hour of peril, we will not undertake to say. For our part we will not toil our hands by voting for any elector whose fidelity to the nominees of the party we have reason to doubt." The Juniata Register, the Breckinridge or gan of that county, iu its issue of the 25th ult., says: '•As far as it can he ascertained, the elect ors are in their personal preference about eqaully divided between Breckinridge and Douglas, and if e'.eeted, it is supposed that their personal choice will be carried out by their votes." Tbe Regibter gives the following as the rea son why the Bell meu were uot invited to par ticipate ia tbe swindle. "Some of tbe National men are surprised that no offer was made to the Bell and Everett ruen to join in a common Electoral ticket - Those who will look at the retuns of Octobor need not be surprised for tbe returns have dem onstrated that the Bell and Everett wen in this i State aro either too weak for tbe encourage ment 0/ such a bargain, or their old feelings of animosity to tbe Democratic party is so strong, that they prefer the eertain election of ' a Black Republican, thau to take a course ! which would render the electioa of Bell a mat- \ of doubt and uncertainty." Notwithstanding the straight Douglas tiokct , has been withdrawn, yet a considerable number of the real and honest frieods of Douglas have determined to support it. On our outside we publish two articles from the Philadelphia Press on the subject, which contain the names of the straight Douglas ticket. Read the3e articles. Lincoln Electoral Ticket.

A RAINY £>AY. Next Tuesday may be a rainy day. No matter if it rains or shines, turn-out, every man of you and help to swell tbe majority of "honest old Abe." We eall attention to the advertisement of Mr. Joseph Alsip. He has leased the old Globe Hotel, (now Union Hotel,) lately kept by Mr. Jonatbun Horton, dee'd. Mr. Alsip is a clever, accommodating gentleman, and an old landlord of popularity, and knows "Liw to keep a hotel." BEBFOBB INQUIRER. OF BEDFORD COUNTY ! FRIENDS OF Lincoln & Hamlin!

GIVE ONE DAT MOKE TO YOUR COUNTRY! every man VOTE HIMSELF and see that HIS NEIGHBOR VOTES ALSO— and thus contribute to roll up A MAJORITY i IN BEDFORD COUNTY, FOR HONEST OLD ABE OF IL LINOIS ! ! KIDNAPPING. An atrocious act of kidnapping was com mitted in Cumberland Valley, about six miles stouth of Bedford, on Thursday last. Two little girls, about six yoars old, children of George love, a respectable colored man, were playing almost within sight of the house, when a rnau rushed out of the woods, snatched up one of the ohildreu and ran away with it.— The other child hastened home and gave tbo alarm, hut thcie were, unfortunately, no meu about the bouse at the time, and the kidnap per thus got a fair start with his victim. It is evident that the villain, whoever he is, was well acquainted with tho premises, and the habits of its occupants. It is believed that the child was carried to Maryland, nod sold into slavery. The parents were liberated about ten years ago by a liumano Virginia mas ter, who, besides granting them freedom, gave them means to buy the laud upon whioh they live, which thev have been cultivating ever siuco with care and industry. They are greatly distressed about their stolen child, bat we earnestly hope that it will yet be recover ed. We aiso hope the villainous perpetrator of the deed may be discovered and compelled to do the State service in the penitentiary.— Hanging is too good for the mercenary wrctcb. Tho kidnappers have heretofore driven a good trade iu catching fugitive slaves, but as that article of commerce baa become somewhat scarce of late, owing to the vigilance of the misters, they are now trying their hands at stealing free children. THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.— The follow ing statement of the positiou of the several States on the Presidential question, we finch iu the Detroit Advertiser: FOR LINCOLN.

Either is enough. BOSH. —AII the threats of disunion by the Locefoco seoessiou press, in oase of the elec tion of Lincoln. Bosh, all bosh! THE LAST OF WALKER. Wo have finally received the particulars of the closing scene in the career of this reoowr.- ed filibuster. He was forced to surrender on the 10th of Beptombcr, and was thrown, heavily ironed, iuto the prison at Truxillo. He im mediately sent for the chaplain of the port, protested his faith as a Roman Catbolio, and was seen thereafter almost constantly kneeling at the feet of the priest io front of a small altar; on whioh, by the dim light of the ta pers, the image of Jesus was distinguished.— Among other things, ho said, "1 aui resigned to die : uiy politioal career i concluded." On tlio lltb ult., at 7 o'clock P M., Walk er was notified of his sentence of death, and to thin startling message the only reply he niado was to ask at what hour it would be ex ecuted, and whether be had time to write. Oo the morning of the 12th, at 8 P. M. f iha culpit inarched to the place of execution, iu the old Plaza dd Armas. He walked with a crucifix iu his hand, upou which be bent all his regards, looking neither to the right nor to ' the left, but listening piously to the psalms which the priest reoited in his ear. He en tered the hollow square formed by the soldiery in (he piaco of execution, and there, full of rtsiguafion, he prououueed the following v.ords, "1 am a Rom an Catholic. The war which 1 made upon Honduras, in accordance with the suggestions of some Kuatinoes, was unjust.— Those who accompanied tue are not to blame. I alone am guiliy. I ask pardon of the peo ple. 1 receive death with resignation—would that it might bo for tli good of society."— ( Tb£se were his last words. Teu sharp rifle, cracks followed, ar.d William Walker was no more ! His dying w'sh was a prophecy as well —a prophecy that was fulfilled within the next few moments. His death ts "for the good of society." There cau be no donbt of that. Walker's plucky conduct aod his dying cou fessiou may do something, perhaps, to modify the expressions of the joy that is felt at his "taking off," but they will not remove it.— The emotion is almost universal and real.— Buffalo Express. HIS ENEMIES PRAISE HIM Tho HOB. Wm. L. Goggin on Thursday even ing addressed the Bell and Everett partv in Petersburg, Vs. His views upon the stibility of the Uniou were clearly expressed in the fol lowing words: "There could be no danger of a dissolution of the Union, no matter who was elected." Ilis opinion of Mr. Lincolu finds no less clear expression, io the following lan guage. Dutitig the whole course of uiy connection with him in the House of Representatives, I must say that I bavoever known him to be a gentleman, fie is not what the Breckinridge party iosinuate hiui to be. I wish to do justice on both sides. [Cheers.] If you waut to know who Mr. Lincoln is, go and ask S. A. Douglas, with whom he stumped every couuty iu tho State of Illinois. [Cheers.J Yes, go and ask Mr. Douglas whether Abe Liuooln is a rail splitter, whether he is a Democratic mauler or upt. [CoutiuujJ laughter, aud cries of 'Good '] It wus uiy goou foriuue, while I was a member of the House of Representatives to ha on a Committee with him. 1 was cbairmau, and 1 will say that no man on that Committee worked more industriously than be did. He is a man of a high order of talent, aud when ho spoke no mau was listened to by those who wcro in that House as visitors with more appareut sat isfaction. His private aa well as public char acter was froc from stain or blemish.— Buffalo Express. TUB DOUGLAS MEN TO BK CURATED.— Tho effect of withdrawing tho Douglas electo ral tioket and supporting the Reading ticket, is thus set forth by "Oecasional," in Forney's Press: "Under the Crosson plot the Douglas men were to be cheated; under the Reading elector ral ticket—as it is left since the withdrawal of the Crosson resolutions— the Douglas men[are to have no chance whatever —and all who voto fcr the fusiou ticket will do so with their eyes open to the fact that they are assisting Jobs C. Breckinridge." Tbo Douglas men, therefore, who vote tbt Reading ticket will be cheated, if they - vote for it üßder the belief that the men upon it aro for Douglas. They have a right, however, to cheat themselves, if tbey choose. SPITEFUL FUSION.—The National Demo cratic State Committee of New York, of whioh John A. Green is chairman, met at the Astor House on Wednesday. The Ereokinridgc and Lano elcct"TS_teiidered their resignations, and an "address of the State Committee to the National Democrats" was reported. The ad dress is a queer document. It abuses the Douglas and Bell man roundly, and then adopts their complete electoral ticket thus: "We consider it good policy 'to adopt their complete electoral tioket for our own purposes. Wo turn their butteries against themselves.— Wo occupy their own ground. We make thera our allies in spite of themselves. We compel them to be our voluntary ooadjutors in the election of our Presidential candidates, unless they resort to the treacherous alternative of defeating tbeir own eleotors." CALIFORNIA FOR LINCOLN TBO subjoined special dispatch was received yesterday, by telegraph, from St. Joseph, and came through to that poiet by the Pony Express from San Francisco. It adds immeasurably to the chance now presented, that Lincoln will oarry every Northern State.— St. Louis Dem. Special Dispatch to the Missouri Democrat.
