BEDFORD INQUIRES. BEDFORD, Pa. Friday Morn far. June T, IS6I. "FEARLESS AND FREE." . OVER—-Ed I tea* and Proprietor. The last number of the organ of the traitors, in this place, contains an article from that rank secession paper, the Journal of Commerce, in whieh it condemns President Lincoln for call ing out soldiers to defend the Government and put down rebellion. We stated a few woeks ago that there were not then over iweoty secessionists in Bedford County. The cumber has rapidly iucrcased since then. There are now probably that many in Bedford Borough, and several hundred with in the County. We are sorry to make this statement, but we believe it tote nevertheless true. And is it any wonder? Many persons receivo no other psper than tie Bedford Ga zette, and derive all their information from it These traitors, nearly all, were Breckinridge or Bell men in the last campaign, tut wo are bsppy to say that there are some, we believe, who supported these candidate? who are loyal. Very few Douglas tuen that we can now re member, and one cf them is the Gazette-man, arc disuoiooHts and traitors. The rest all hold to the sentiments of the lamented Doug las, in support of the Union. We receive about a drzen Democratic exchanges, both Douglas and Breckinridge papers iu the last campaign, and the Bedford Gazette is the only one of thent that sides in favor of the traitors and disuniouists. The rest are a'.l pa triotic, and as stnmg for maintaining the Union as Kepubiicas piapers. Should a vile paper like this be encouraged by any lover of his country? Now i 9 the time 10 be for your oouDtry or against it. If you are for it, act accordingly—if you are against it, of course the Giselle will spit your views. GOVERNOR CDJRTIN. A great deal of indignation is just cow felt and expressed in regard to the equipment and rations of the Pennsylvania volunteers, and many place the whole blame u;on Governor Curtin. That tiiey have been swiudled we ttlieve no one wi'l deny, but to a certain ex- Jnt tits L:s always been the earc, in war, in all countrie?; but it must be stopped, if pos sible. A stt of leichta receive contracts, and in order to make mom - ff the na'iou's trou bles, thty cheat the < soldiers in their ra tions and clothe? A 0 are guilty of this icoundrelism shut. he hang up, we would almost say. without judge or inry. The Go vernor is blamed for the condition of the tro ; *. after they have been sworn ir.to the service of the Government, when, io fact, they are then entirely out of the cootro! of the State. We ate glad that the Governor has "rpointed a commission, partly of Deuioc: i.% examine into these frauds and to report to the Govern ment. This lor ks as thou eh the Governor is not guiity of the charges, and is willing to have bis official cooduct examined into. The commission should be very strict, examine info everything, and let the people know t-he fact?, and nil the facts. DEATH OF JOHN L. FY AN, ESQ. Ihe remains ot John L. Fyan, Esq., were brought 10 this place, by his father, on Satur day last, from Tipton, Cedar County, lowa, aud interred in the Catholic burying ground. Mr. Fysn studied law with Messrs. King & Jordan, ki Bedford, and was admitted to the Bedford Bar. He removed to Tipton, where be commenced the praotice cf his profession, with bright prospects of success. He was io tie 28tb year of bis age, at the the time of his death. On Sruuday afternooa Hi v. Thomas Heyden delivered a d soour.-e on the subject of Lis death, in the Catholic Church. Ho s'ated the fact that Mr. Fyau had joined a cotnpaDy, in Tipton, which offered its service? to, ud was accepted by, tie Government, in defer.ee of our glorious Union, and that he bad been elected Ist Lieutenant, and rtooived bis com mission from tic Governor cf lows, in aliud iog to this p.rt of Mr. Fyau's history, the ve nerable paster was quite eloquent aud patriotic. He spoke of tie duty of every citizen iu this oootert to sauio "this glorious Uuion," and protect "that beautiful flig, the stars sod stripes," egaicst the secession traitors. The position of this venerable pastor should be imitated by other pastors who have not the nerve or THE patiiotiscn to place THE twelve* ©D Hie side ci their country. * 4 a _ Gov.

Jerry looks well,! niuk< s a good soldier, and gives a good accornt of i our volunteers. TRAITOR? DISCOVERED. The Bedford Gazetto has an article in which it condemns the administration for seizing the telegraphic dispatches in the principle cities of the North for the purpose of discovering who are the traitors in our midst, and their plans. The present condition of affairs ren ders this act highly proper. We think the only mistake about the whole thing was that it did not also seize the dispatches in town? like Bedford; we have no doubt, if it had, that many more traitors would have been dis covered—and it 19 this fear, we have no that makes that secession journal so strongly condemn it. As has aptly said, for necessary rea sons, the "managers of the telegraphs have been compelled to preserve the originals of the" innumerable despatches, private and pub ; lie, sent and received over their wires. Many! a lawsuit has been decided by the mere word-! tng of a telegram; many a love-match has been consummated by the throbiDg of these! electric nerves: but bow much treason has been flashed from one to another of the con j spirators engaged during the last four years! against the peace and happusee* of this Union! Talk of historians; talk of the men who shall j write the history of the present struggle be-] tween a free Government and its enemies; talk of the poets who shall si harmonious numbers the praises of the brave men who have gone out to fight, bloed, and die for tin TJUIOD; or of the painters who stand ready, with inspired pencil to delineate the battles soon to be fought,— all these are as nothing compared to the happy man who, with the permission of President LINCOLN and Secre tary CAMERON, shall be introduced into the vast profound where, for years past, the mysto riesof the telegraph offi*e have been concealed. Much has bean said about the interest attached to the opening of the letters returned to the dead-letter branch of the General Post Office Department; but they are nothing to the new mine of interest shortly to be exposed to tie public gaze, in consequence of the possession by the Government of tbo archives of tie Northern telegraph offices. More than one- Northern traitor will tremble when ho reflects upon the forthcoming disclosure." The 13tl) Regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers, among which is the Taylor Guards, from this place, arrived in Cbambersburg, from York, on Wednesday morning There are now probably 15, 000 soldiers at Chamiiersl.urg. It is thought they will be ordered to Harpi-r's Ferry soon. Sufferers from Scrofula and Scrofulous affections, clean up! Why wear your Pimples, Blotches.

Hof tho strong supporters of the Union and th.i ■Constitution. g Mr. Douglas was born at Brandon, Rutland Co.. i > April 33d, 1813, so that his age was only a] ■tittle more than forty-eight years, lib father flj igj ■when ha was only two months old, his mother had] I but limited mesas of proviimg for l,er soil, and J daughter eighteen months older, tie received a! common school education, and at tbe age of filt' eu.] was apprenticed to a cabinet-maker. At this trad, i he worked, at M iddlebury aDd Brandon, for a year and a half, when failing health obliged binr to give it up. f His mother marrying again, ho was enabled to begin the study oi law in the office of Messrs. iHubbell, at Cauandiagua, N. Y. In 1834, having! Ifinished his studies, be went westward, with scarcely lany money in his pocket. After a series of trials gaud adventures, and after teaching school for a living at Jacksonville, Illinois, for soma time, he opened a law office there in March, 1884. lie imnio liately entered upon a lucrative practice, and witl in a year was chosen by the Legislature o! Illinois Attorney-General of tho State. After wards he was elected to the Legislature and served with distinction. In 1837 President Van Buren appointed him Register of the Land Office at Springfield, 111., and in the same year the Demo crats of Illinois nominated him for Governor, but I being under twenty five years of age, he was de clared ineligible. Nevertheless, as he attained the desired age before the election day, he was voted for, and was defeated by only 5 votes where over 38,W0 were cast. In 1840 Mr. Douglas entered heartily into the Presidential campaign, and to him mainly was it due that Illinois remained then faithful to the Dern. |ocratic party. Iu December of that year he was jj appointed Secretary of State of Illinois. In 1341 gdie was sieetod Judge of the Supremo Court of |t bat State. In 1848 be was elected to Congress, I and re-elected in 1844 and 1846.
