"FEARLESS AND FREE."
{i. OVER—Editor nn<! Proprietor.
The Bedford Gazette is weekly publishing
article?, editorial and otherwise, in which it
attempts to divide public opinion iu this Coun
ty, which is now almost unanimous tn favor of
upholding our country in the war forged upon
ua by the traitors who arc r.ow in rebellion
against tße Government of the United State*.
Wc state without fear of successful contradic
tion, that there are not twenty disuniouists in
Bedford County, and they follow the lead of
the Bedford G-rzette. Tito Democrats of Bed
ford County, with the exception of these few
referred to above, condemn the course of that
p3per, and sufpctl tbe Government in its ef
forts to crush this infamous rebellion, which
has been legun with less cause than any other
in history. The following are a few of the
outrages cf the recession traitors :
They marched in armed bodies and compell
ed tbe guards of the United States forts and
arsenals to surrender them: but it was not
war.
With arms in tlioir hands tbey captured mil
lions of dollar* worth of cannon, smalt arms
and munitions of war, belonging to the Uni
ted States; hut it was not war.
They se'zed the ships of the United States:
but it was not war.
They seized the mints and the money of the
United States, and applied them to their own
use; tut it was not war.
They fired on an unarmed ship, carrying
supplies to a fortress cf the United States;
but it was net war.
They besieged the fortresses of the United
States, surrounded them with military works,
and cut "cif their supplies; but it was not war.
They fired on Fort Sumter, compelled the
lowering cf tbe American flag, and the sur
render of that Fort; but according to the
Bedford Gazelle, ail this wag not war.
But if tbe United States attempt to relieve
their beleaguered garrison, or even send lliein
- provisions in an unarmed vespci, it is war.
fit' they attempt to transport a oaooon from
cue fori to another, or from a foundry to a
forf, it is war.
If they transfer a soldier from fort to fort,
>or frow>State to State, it i 9 war.
If they scud out a tbip to protect our citi
zens, it is war.
To talkcf executing fbeir laws, protecting
their commerce, or collecting their revenue, it
is war, horrible war.
Traitor?, who are of tbe same material a?
the "oow boys ' of the Revolution, are the
only CEOS who defeud the secession traitors in
their unjust war agaiust the best government
which man ever invented. Beware?

"Party ista in Bedford county has been drop,

et. A pretty way cf "dropping" jartyism, truly !
—Bedford Gazelle, May 10.
When w<3 penned tbe line quoted by the
Gazette , wo expressed what wc believed to be
the truth, that "partyisin ID Bedford County
has been dropped," so far as the war was con
eerned. The Bedford Gazette had beeD for
weeks before we published this announcement,
publishing tbe announcements cf candidates
for Associate Judge, Commissioner, and Trea
surer, "subject to tbe decision of the Demo
unt io County Convection." Sooner theo sup
port tbe whoio tieket nominated by a "Demo
cratic County Convention," it, w*s thought
best to hold a Conventi m and nominate out
own ticket, and support it, instead of voting
for one nominated, probably, by the Gazette
end its littlo disunion clique, and composed, in
part, it might be, of disuniemsts. That paper
would, no doubt, like to catch us in that littlo
trap, hut Republicans won't take the bait.—
In Allegheny County, in this State, where
' the liepuhlicaus have 10,000 majority, they
agree with the Democrats to hold a Union
Convention, and nominate and support candi
dates from both parties. Tbe same i- the case,
we believe, to several other Counties. New,
wo propose the satno plan of "dropping" par
tyisuj in Bedford L'cuDty. What say you,
Gazette?
Iho Governor of this Skate is carrying out
this idea, also, for ho has appointed Gen.
Ovdwailadcr, Major General; Gen. Patterson
and Col Wytcocp, Brigadier Genesis; and
Gen. Hale, Commissary Get-era!, of the Penn
sylvania volunteer?, alt or' wbotn are Demo
crats. Ir, New York, the Republican Gover
nor, has appointed Gen. John A. Dix, one ol
the most promioent Democrats ID tbe UnioD,
Major General of tbe New Y rk volunteers.
Trniy all patriots drop polities in this war
forced upon us by the traitors.
Tbe following letter from Lieut. Win. P.

the reports of bad treatment are unfounded:

OF MISSOURI SECESSIONISTS.
Sr. Louis. Friday, May 10, 1861.
Gen. Front's brigade of Missouri militia,
encamped at Oanrp Jackson, on the western
' outskirts of the city, surrendered uncondition
ally this afternoon OH demand of Oupt. Lyon,
eonimauder of tho Uuited Statas forces of
| this city.
Uapt. Lynn marched on Camp Jackson with
i some 6,000 volunteers, surrounded it, and
planted eight field pieces on the adjoiniug
; etiiioeo-ocs. The following letter was sent
from Cart. Lyon to Gen. Frost;
HEADQUARTERS U. S. TB<VPS, )
LOUIS, May 10, 18GT. J
j To Gen. DM. FROST— Sir: Your command
lis regarded us evidently hostile toward the
Government of the United Ttates. It is, for
the roost part, made up of Secessionists,
who have openly avowed their hostility to the
General Government, and have been plotting
at the seizuro of its property, and the over
throw of its authority.
You are openly in communication with the
so Called Southern Confederacy, which is now
jnt war with the Uuited States; aDd you ore
receiving at your camp from the said Oonfed
! eracy, under its flag, large supplies of materi
al of war, roost of which is koown to be the
property of the United States.
These extraordinary preparations plainly
indicate none other than the well-known ptir
i pose rf the Governor of this Stats, under
whose orders you are acting, and whose pur
pose recently communicated to the Legislature,
lias just been responded to by that body iu
the roost unparalleled legislation, having in
direct view hostilities to the Gsner*l Govern
ment, and co-operation with the enemy.
; In v.ew of these considerations, and your
failure to disperse in obcdiance to the proo
i lamatmn of the Freflidem, and of the eminent
i necessity of State policy and welfare and
| obligations imposed upon Kit- by ins-truetioris
i from Washington, it is my duty to demand,
; and I do hereby demand of you an immediate
surrender of your command with no other
conditions than that all persons surrendering
! under this demand eball be humanely and
| kindly treated.. Believing myself prepared
■ to enforce this demand, one half hour's time
before doing so will be allo wed for your com
plianee therewith.
(Signed,), W. LYON,
Capt. 21 lufuntry, comma tiding Troops.
It is understood that Gen. Fio.-t *ays this
letter was not received by him until hta camp
was surrounded by United Ftites troops, lie
! replied that Ihe encampment was otganized
under the law ol the St ti aimply for o gan z • g
j and drilling the volunteer militia of tbis uoili
i tary district.
Not expecting any demonstration, lie was
unprepared successfully to resist a-ttack; there
i fore he accepted the terms specified, and
i .-nrrendered hi* coumund—*b'-ut 600 men
I then in camp, a large number being in the ei ! y
on leave, i'bey theu laid down thetr arm-,
and wore cscor'ed to the city as prisoners i f
war.
A release on parole has been tendcied the
j offi'ers and troops, providing they would tike
;an oath not to tike up arms again against the
j Govtroinent of the Uuited Stiles, which they
d dined, eo the gtout.d that it iroplei they
had already tak u up arms against the Govern
ment, which they disc.aimed. Just before the
troops left for the city, and while tha State
forces were drawn up between the two lines of
volunteers, several reeks were thrown at the
volunteers, and a few pi&toi shots fired by ex
cited parties in tho surrounding crowd, which
was composed of a largo Dumber of citizens,
including many women. One shot took effect in
the leg ot Capt. Blantowski, and as be fell he
gate the word to fire, which was obeyed by
some two or three companies, resulting in the
death of upward of 20 porsons, iocludiug two
wouinn and sevctai children, and badly woun
ding sever.l others.
iQ: foil..wing are the tnly name? of those
killed tint can bo ascertained to night: Messrs.
Waiter McDonald, This. A. Havens, Nicholas
Ku oi-! a eh, L.mlv Summers. The following
are fatally wouLded: (Jlaiborno Wilson and
Truman Wright.
Intense excitement exists in tho city. Large
bodies of troops arc thronging tha streets.
The Democrat nud jJnztiger offices have
been threatened by the uiob, but through the
promptness of the Chief of Police, Mr. Doao
ugh, any violent demonstration, thus far, has
been prevented.
All gun shops iu the city are guarded oy an
artuod police force, and about 200 have beeu
detailed to protect Tne Democrat and Anzex
ger offices.
The lateness of the hour prevents tho ob
taining of rnoro reliable information to
night.
IMPORTANT TO VOLUNTEER 3.
Gov. Curtin has issned the foliowicg oircu
lar leftcr to the Colonels of regiments. There i
cau be no doubt that tho response will realize
all that, is expectod by the Federal govern
ment from the citizen soldiery of Peansylva- '
I nia:
! I have been requested by the Secretary
lof War to let the Regiments now in the !
i service of the State, know that it is "preferred
Jto have all tha Regiinonls already mistered \
j into service for three months, which are not'
| actuilly scut forward, re-muMeted into service j
for three years or during the War, should '
they he wiiiing to do so." I therefore deem :
it proper to direct that you immediately ascer
tain the preference of your Regiment upon
this question, and communicate tho result
forthwith to me.
Those who do not desire to re enlist for
this additional period, can be formed into
Regiments, or have sack arrangements uiade
as to enable tbem to retire with honor, in
accordance with their enlistment.
I canuot refraiu Loot saying that it would
afford me pleasure to see tho Regiments so
promptly and patriotically offered to the State,
give this additional and more enduring evi
dence of continued devotictti to their country.
Very Respectfully Yours,
A. G. CURTIN.
Governor and Commander- in- Chief.

SPEECHES OF FOIR GOVERNORS.
On FiicLy night Lchm l's Band proceeded to
the Angier House, in Cleveland, to serenade tha
s evcrul Governors there assembled. "Kail to the
Chief" was given by the band, followed by "Hail
Columbia," and "The Red, White and Blue." At
the close of the latter, there was a movement upon
the Bank street balcony, and ox-Mayor Senter in
troduce 1 Governor Dcnnison of Ohio.
GOV. DENNISON'S SPEECH.
The Governor made a few remarks, thanking the
j people for the attention. He hid not cotne here
! to spoak, bet. with the Governors of other States,
I had more ini|iort:int business on hand, which would
I consume much of tho night. H spoke of the
universal determination fo maintain tho Feder.'l
Government, and said the North was already
marshaled for tho conflict. Whatever power be
i could command should always be exerted to sustain
| the Government and defend the State from nil as
l saibit.ts, come from whatever quarter they may.—
i In the name of the people of Ohio, he said, treason
shnil be emshed out, rebellion shall he put down,
at all hazards. Enthusiastic applause greeted this
declaration. Gov. Oennison then introduced Gov.
Curtin of Pennsylvania, who was w deomcd by a
round of cheers, followed by another for Penn
sylvania.
REM ARMS OF GOV. CURTIN OF FENN
Gov. C. said he thanked the people for thecbee-rs
for Pennsylvania. That State wis and ever would
he loyal. There as well as everywhere in the
North, a chord has been struck that viberates music
jto which all loyal citizens must keep step. Every
i man in Pennsylvania, said the Governor with
! emphaais, is ready to take up arms in defence o<
the Government. Our State w.is founded in peace,
and her citizens love peace : but they al<o love the
institution' of our fathers. There c nld bo no
doubt of the result. Treason must and will he
cruslio 1 out. It is now no tune to treat and dally
with traitors _ Pennsylvania is with Ohio in this
contest, and wrtl stand shoulder to shoulder with
every loyal State to the end. The traitors may
send their spies through the country, if fhey chooso:
let them report defection or dissatisfaction in our
midst, if they can find any. Gov. Cur'in closed by
exclaiming: To arms, my fellow citizens! Tho
land of Washington shall defend the flag of Wush
j ipgton, and it shall wave over every f"rt and egpi
i to) in the thirty-four States of the Union.
ADDRESS OF GOV. RANDALL OF WIS.
For the three hearty cheers that were given for
j Wisconsin, he thanl-ed them. He said we have been
| accustomed to speak of our institutions as different
from all others io the world. The thousand ties <>f
patriotism and in'erest, we have sail, are stronger
to enforce cur laws thin tho despotisms of the Old
World. A great change has come—an enemy has
grown up among us, threatening the subversion of
our Government and the destruction of our in
stitutions. Wo ail know, where tiiis war began,
j and we know where it ought to end. An army
j should go down the Mississippi, and leave a trail
from Montgo-'ory to Charleston ; another shoiill
go down the Eastern coast, and the two armies
meet at Charleston. There the war began ; there
ft ought to end. when tha city is wiped from ex
istence—no monument left there t > show that a
human be'ng once inhabited it—uo place far even
tiie owl to hoot or the bittern to mourn [Loufl
j cheers.] We have done the people of the South
j no injustice—we have given them what they never
j should have asked. There is but ono sentiment
among ns now, however j we have obH-crated all
partj distinctions, and know nothing hut devotion
to our country. The blood of our fath rs shall be
transmitted to generations yet to cotne, with not
one right lost, not one attrihute impaired. Our
armies shall be the tldls fa just G >l. with which,
upon his Southern thre.-hing floor, be shall pound
out treason, and do full justice to all.
GOV. BLAIR OF MICHIGAN.
Gov. Blair of Michigan was then introduced.—
After thanking the people for th-ir granting to
Michigtn he said this was not the time for speak
ing, but for action. We are not to count tho co-t
of this contest; it is enough to know that our
Government is assailed. By the spirit of the pco
pie, we know that the flig of our count y—our old
dig—will yet he raisei upon Fort Sumter
[Cheers.] ne trusted that tliebrave Anderson will
plant that flag— sullied by no fault of his—upon
the fortress he defended. Michigan, he said, was
with the loyal States in spirit, determined that the
union ot the States shall still exist. No fareign
power shad be established U|K>II Tur Southern
hordeis; no Je!f. Davis shiii there estati ish a
hostile Government. The traitors may. an I shall,
go into the Gulf, hut they shall not take the terri
tory with them. We must, make short work of
this contest; we cannot afford to he long about it.
In our dispatches to the President each day WE
are saying, "Call upon us for more troops." He
wanted to send half a dozen regim ;ats from Michi
gan with the one criled for, and tho State was
ready to pay the bills. The loyal States arc re
solved to live, an i, if nead be. to die, unler the
oldfltg. The armies of ilie Union would mirch,
doing injusiicetto none, but, by the help of God,
doing full jurtice to all. Cheers greeted Gov. B.
when lie closed.
