Commissioner, WILLIAM KEEFFE, OF BEDFORD TOWXSHiP. Poor Director, JACOB EVANS, OF LONDONDERRY. A Auditor, SAMUEL M. OVERAKER, OF CODERAIN. The Union meeting of Tuesday night of court week has resulted in tbe happiest possi ble mauncr. The hearts of the people of our county are ever disposed to the right and to tboir country —tjie honor of their Native Land is dear to them, and the efforts of those who would alienate their support from eur Govern ment, have signally failed, and have recoiled upon the men who made them. The honest yeomanry of our mountain land, may for a time be deceived by false statements and erratic reasonings, but wee to deceivers, whoever they may be, when their efforts to lead the people astray are discovered. There is no retribution more sure, no indig nation more terrible than that which follows the wakening up of an honest and loyal com munity to the fact that efforts have been made to delude them into ways of thought aud acs tion which if successful would have fixed up* on themselves and their children the burning brand of unfiithtulness to the best government that ever blessed tbe earth. "The sober second thought of the people is always light," and many, very many, of tbe good citizens of Bedford County who vis ited our Borough at court week, supposing, as they had been told that tLe "Union Meeting of Tuesday evening was a trick for the destruc tion of party," went home with their hearts oretfiowtDg with the generous conviction that the meeting was a grand and holy demonstra tion for that country whose well being and hon or and glory, is paramount to all party, aud vri:h a hearty contempt in their souls for the men who cculd fiud it in their uatures at a time like the present, to advocate or connive at any policy save that which would demand aud enforce the unconditional submission to tbe government and its laws of those who without just cause have dared to contemn those laws, and trample upou our glorious flag, and to rend with unhallowed and ruthless hands the fair fabric secured and bequeathed to us by our fathers ot a priceless cost of agony, privation and Hood. Well might the honest citizens of our coun ty doubt the wisdom, truth aud loyaity of ucwly-fledged and changeling politicians, when tbey sW the union meeting presided over and carried on by such meu, of life-long personal and political integrity as Job Minn, Joseph B. Noble, Alex King, David Patterson, Gen. Bowman, John (Jessus, Judge Kimm-d, Fraoci.) Joidan, Win. M. ilall, S. L. Russell, John Mower, l)r. MiGitr and a host of others as true and tried as these; and many of the men who honestly but utuicr a false impression signed tbe call for the Democratic meeting of Monday night, in repudiation of the Union Call, were the most zealous and enthusiastic in support of the Union meeting, its object and its resolutions. Not only did tbe men composing this Union meeting, by their n imes and presence carrv conviction of the truth of their cause, but tbe speeches were iinaLswerai.de, and annihilating to everything in opposition to ibe cljects of tbe meeting. Judge Kiuimell's calm and dis* passionate counsels were iDvaluahle ; aDd tbe expression of every couuieuanco in the vast assembly showed that an impress was made by them on every heart. We can hardly find language to express tbo thrilling effect of the really splendid effort of j Gen. Bowman. His speech, abounding as it did ! to solid, manly, earnest argument, met a hearty response on heiiaif of his audience, in the I breathless silence witb which at times thoy hung upon his words and tbe hearty cheers with which at other times they greeted him.— The Genera! took tho high ground of tbe ho liness of the cause of our government against tbe unholy and unjustifiable rebellion waged against it,and most eloquently aad effectively did he maintain his position, with an earnest ness that carried conviction of the deep sincer ity of the speaker to the heart of every bearer. There was no bitter invective, no harsh ep ithet, but there was a vivid depicting of tire position of those who either by aotual rebellion in the revolted states, or who residiog in a loy al state are by symoathy with rebellion, or by apathy in our common cause doiDg any thing to retard the government in its efforts to res tore peace and the supremacy of law. that was annihilating in its effect, lie, as well as the other speakers, plaoad all men iD this cri sis iu their true position either for or against oui country. The scathing remarks of Hon. Isaac Hugus made fearfuHiavoc in tbejrauks of the oppostion, which was followed up by effective speaches from Mr. Rush of Missouri, Hon. Francis Jor dan, Capt. Filler and Dr. McGirr and by the close of the meeting every gun of opposition was spiked, and then, as often during the pro gress of the meeting, tho spontaneous respon ses of loyal hearts, rent the air in shents that could not be restrained, and proclaimed the CJUSC of our country in the hearts of the peo ple of Bedford County triumphant. SYMPATHY WITH REBELLION. The Bedford Gazette, for several months, at times, has promised to change its course, and throw no further fire-brands into the efforts of the administration in putting down the pres ent unhoiy rebellion. Week before last it made the same promise, hut last week's number is again filled with articles copied from other pa pers calculated to injure tbe cause of the UnioD. In the editorial columns is ED nrticle beaded '•Abolition," ID which it attempts to injure the cause of the Republic, by trying to make it appear that Gen. Fremont's proclamation is for the purpose of setting the slaves free, and that this is tho ODly object of the government. We are sorry to state our belief, hut that pa per's course warrants us in the stnteraent, that the editor of that paper is so bound up in his associations and sentiments, that so long as he controls a journal in our midst, he will do ev erything he can to injure those who are fight ing to put dowD the most infamous and cause less rebellion in the history of the world, against the best Government ever devised by man. It is only designed by tbo Government and Gen. Fremont, in confiscating slave prop erty, to weaken the rebels in their most toDder parts. All nations confiscate property in tbe hands of rebels—slaves have been declared property—therefore tbe Government has tho right to do with them as she pleases. Slaves of all loyal persons are not to bo, and will not be, interfered with or made free. The ener getio measures of Gen. Fremont will be of ' immense benefit to tho cause of our country. i To show what the people of Missouri think of thi- matter, those who are principally concern ed in the l'roolauiation, we publish the follow ing extract from the St. Louis Republican, the Democratic organ in that city, and always a strong pro-slavery paper. Hear it: "The proclamation of Major Gen. Fremont, which appears ia another oolumD, is tbe most important document whioh has yet appeared ;in tho progress of the war. Let it he read with careful consideration by every citizen. The prompt visiting of the extremest penalties of martial law upon all Rebels withiu the os j tablished military Hues; the confiscation of the ; property of persous who shall taks up arms against the Government, and tue declaration of absoluto freedom to the slaves of all such persons; the extreme penalties tu be visited upon bridge burners, railroad and telegraph ' destroyers, treasonable correspondence and libels, and peace destroyers of all kinds, are | measures of themost extraordinary stringency; | but the wisdom of their promulgation by tha supreme officer in th* army of the West, we are coofileut will be conceded by every i just and loyal citizen. "There is no loogar any middle ground or I rooru for traitors where the lawful Government has sway. Geueral Fremont strikes boldly and fearlessly. The consolidated patriotism and the boundless resources of the great Northwest are at his back. Let everv faith ful man, by word apd deod, give aid and en couragement to this grand movement for the establishment of the whole people." O. E. SHANNON, Esq , at the Democratic meeting last week, was exceedingly witty in speaking of tho calamities of our beloved coun try, and drew down the applause and laughter of the few sympathisers of treason who were in the house. (Wo don't suppose Shannon felt so fuuny the next night, aftjr hearing the scathing remarks from Hon. lsaao Uugus of his own party. We have no doubt he felt like crawling into the most convenient knot hole.) He was for stopping the war at once, and of fering the traitors peace on any r.erins ! This was quite iD contrast with the eloquent and patriotic speech of bis law partner, Mr. i Lessna. Mr. Shannon wished tube very funny, ! when he stated that in case certiio two or three j persons in town would join Captain Filler's company and go to tbe war that he would do the same ! For the benefit cf Mr. Shannon, we will tell him, that Capt. Filler says that he would not have a man like hvm in his oompany, who publicly states that ll if he were to take up arms in this contest that he would point his gun towards the J\orth! Mr. Shannon is 1 heaping upon himself in this unholy rebellion, coals ot fire that will never be extinguished. Ij3t Liua, aud ail like him, remember the tories and cowboys of tha Revolution. RICH !—A president and a few members of a one * horse political meeting, presuming to amend a res olution of tbe U. S. Congress, offered by tbe great Crittenden! Wonder if they wore not emulating tbe little yellow dog, lurking at tbe moon ? BEDFORD tKODIRER. WM. P. SCHELL, ESQ. Wo frequently bear the question asked, "Where is Win. P. Scbell in this great oon test?" We are sorry to be compelled to an swer that we do not know. Be refused to sign the call for a Union meeting to be held ia the Court House on Tuesday night of Court Week—neither did he sign either of the calls in opposition to it. There can be no neutrali* :ty in this contest, in the language of the la mented Douglas, in his last speech before his death, "There can he but two sides to the controversy. Every man must he on the side of the United States or against it. There can be none but patriot & and traitors." Mr. Schell attended the Democratio meeting, Monday night of last week, and when Dr. F. C. Reamer, Schell's brother-inalaw, objected to the phraseology of the Crittenden Resolution, which passed Congress (Democrats and Re publicans votiog for it) almost unanimously, and which it was proposed to adopt by that ! meeting—which says "That the present oivil , war has been forced upou us by the Disunioo ists of the Southern States," Mr. Schell ! moved that the words "aud abolitionists of the Northern States" be added to it. The resolution as amended wa9 adopted. Mr. Sohell also made a speech in that, meet i ing—about as milk and water as bis course has been throughout this great crisis, when eve | ry man should use his host exertions in be i half of his afflicted country. In that speech he said, "He was for a vigorous prosecution i of the war. If the war lasted one year he believed tt would result iu the abolishment of slavery, and sooner than that should occur, he would not say hut that it would be Letter that ourarouy should be defeated!" In other words, sooner than slavery should be abolished, he would see the gallant men who have goue forth to fight the battles of their country against traitors, mown down, and the Union destroyed! Wt deprecate the abolishment of slavery, but sooner than see the Union des troyed we would let slavery and every other institution or law go down. This ie the feel* iog of every patriot. But Mr. Schell stated that "he always was aD admirer of Southern institutions—that ho loved the South more than he did the North." This may in some ; manner account for his assertion in regard to slavery. What some of the Border State Unionists think of Slavery is pretty clearly stated in a speech whiob the Rev. \V. B. Carter of East Tennessee delivered in Cincinnati, Monday night 21 in?t. "I am a slaveholder," said Mr. Carter. My ancestors, for three genera, ations, have been slaveholders; therefore, I can not he charged with any prcdjudlce against Slavery. But I tell you before, that I regard the union of the States as of infinitely more value than all the negroes in America, and ! Africa too. Nay, I go further, and say that, if the prosecution of this war and the perpet uation of the Union require that African I Slavery shall die, then 1 say let it perish. Wa are sorry Mr. Sehell does not view this ■ matter in the same light. If his injluenoe was on the side of bis countr jr now, he might do great good in Bedford County. OFF ToTit VVi, Capt. Filler's company, composed of as fine look ing and reliable men as our County can produce, sUrted for the seat of war on Monday morniug last. As they were drawn into line for marching, they were addressed by Gen. Bowman, in a speech which we wish every man, woman and child in Bedford County could have heard. The General is exceeding ly h-PPy stud successful in his efl'ortsjn behalf of our Couutry. While his remarks were in a spirit of gentlemanly kindness, and like his address of court week, were entirely free from epithet or abuse, they had the severity of truth plainly spoken, and were withering to those who fear or refnse to support our government from any caustj, whether from en mity, avowed or concealed, or from the mistaken notion that to aid the government they thereby endorse the peculiar political views of tbo incum bents of any branch of that government. Many a tear rolled over the cheeks of the honest soldiers as the speaker alluded to their loved country and its perils—to the families they were leaving behind them, and as he commended them and theirs to the tender care of the God of our country. After three cheers for the spoaker, and three more for their native country, the company attended by a crowd of citizens marcher! to the east end of town were carriages were waiting to convey them to Ilopewell. They were received all along the route with en thusiasm. Excellent dinners were provided for them in laopewell, by Capt. Jas. S. Beck with and J. B. Castner, Esq. At about 6 o'clock, they left Ilopewell iu a special train, for Harrisburg. On entering the cats the crowd there assembled, gave our gallant boys three hearty cheers. Capt. Filler deserves great credit for the man ner iu which lie has gotten up two companies for this war—the first for tnree months—and the last for three years or during the war. The good wishes, and hearty prayers of all our loyal citizens go with them. If, perchance, they fall in the service of their country—all will exclaim '-11 ow sleep the brave w ho sink to rest, With all their country's wishes blest."' Bui wo do not wish to indulge in thoughts so saddening. May they all return again to their homes and families, blest with health, and their brows encircled with never fading laurels. Fare well ! la Vermont the Democratic candi dale for Governor, has declined running, giving it as his opinion that for the good of the couutry, all parties should support the present patriotic Governor T he Zouave Company now recruiting under Capt. Ryce and Lieut. Barndollar, were so pleased with the able address of Gen. Bowman to the Taylor Guards, that they have named their company 7 in lis honor, "The Bowman Boys," A merited compli ment. The Company from Woodberry, this County, under the oommand of Capt. Brisbin, left for the seat of war on Wednesday of last week. We understand that this was as fine looking body of men as Las left our County. Also, last week, Capt. Weaverling, of West Fro vide nee, left for Harrisburg with some 30 men—all fine, noble looking fellows. This makes throe companies and one part of a company now in the service front this County. There are also many from this County in the regiment at Cumberland, and in companies from Cambria, Blair, &3. We have at least four buudred men in the service. Bedford County is now doing her duty manfully. There are also other companies forming—one in Napier and Sobellsburg, by Capt. Geo. S. Mullin, now numbering some sixty. Capt. llyce's oom paDy in this place, is fast filling up, and Capt. Tbos. 11. Lyons is reorganizing the Bedford HiflemoD for the service of their country. JOIIN PALMER, Esq., made a short speech at the Democratic meeting last week. He took strong grounds in favor of pei.ee and compromise with traitors with arms in their hands. He said ho "hated a secessionist, hut he hated a Republican more." The last may be true, but w do not believe he hates a se cessionist, for in all bis conversations he takes sides with the Southern traitors, and assocL ates nearly entirely with the sympathisers with treason. He has gone so far already as to say, that "if the worst cams to the worst, he would never take up arms in this contest We are sorry that a young man like him should take the stand he does in this great crisis.— He will regret it all the days of his life. We are happy to say that our young friends, Capt. Thomas H- Lyons, and Lieut. S. S. .detzgar, have boon commissioned by the Gov ernor to re-org inize the Bedford Riflemen im mediately, for the put pose of going into the U. S. Service. Tb; respectability of this company is well known in our community, and we hope that all thai; can will now embrace this opportunity by signing their roll and filL ing up the company at once. In Ilnntingdoo, which is a strong Republi can County, both parties met and nominated a Union ticket. John Scott, Democratic can didate for Senator in this district, last fall, is the candidate for Legislature. In Franklin, also a Republican County, the patriotic men of ail parties have nominated a Union ticket. This course is right, and we are sorry that party everywhere for the time being, could not he thrown aside for the good of our country. OHIO. —In Ohio the people have met and placed in nomination a State ticket composed of good men of both parties. Although the Republicans are largely in the majority there, they gave the Democrats tbo candidate for Governor, taking the candidate for Lieut. Governor for themselves By an advertisement iu to-day's paper, it I will he seen that the old postage stamps and envelopes will be exchanged for new ones for six days from this date; after that time all letters prepaid with the old stamps will be sent to the dead letter cflice. Hon. Edward McPherson, has been appoin ted an aid on the staff of Gen. McUali. He has consequoutly resigned bis position of Cap tain of Cotnp. B. Ist Rogt, Pa. Res. Vol. Corps. We have no doubt our friend, the Captain, will make an efficient aid. Hon. Joseph Holt has made another power ful speech to a vast concourse of people at Irving Ilail; N. Y. Speeches were made by other distinguished persons. It will afford u's pleasure, to publish this speech whenever we can find room for if. BLACK INK. —We bavo been presented bv Mr. J. L. Daugherty & Co., of Water Strcef, in this County, with a bottle of fine black ink. It flows freely and will withstand the test of oxalic acid. Dealers io the article would do well to give them a call. Tho Democratic meeting last week, teadopt cd the treasonable platform on which their county ticket was nominated. The Resolutions of last week are also very objectionable to a sincere lover of bis country. When it is known that the views in regard to the war, held by a number of their candidates, are very doubtful, we do not see how a patriot can vote for the Democratic county ticket. QUERY. —Is it, or is tt not a significant fact, that tho individual who. wa9 the most enthusi astic iu cheering sorae of the speakers at the meeting gotten up on Monday night of Court Week, to counteract the effects of the call for a union meeting, went out of town af ter the meeting waa over, hurrahiug "for Jeff. Davis and the Southern Confederacy"'? iifcLVITIHI' LSIISLITUKE, MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR NAGOF -lIV FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. s.— Tho Stata Sen ate orgauized to-day. Governor Magoffin's message WHS read, lie says Kentucky Lai. a right to assume a ucuiral position in the pres ent war; that she had no agency in fostering a sectional party in the Free States, and did not approve of separate action and the secess ion of the Southern State?. Lawless raids have been suffered on both 6ides, private property seized, commerce iutcrrupted, and trade des troyed. These wrongs have been borne with patieuce; but a military Federal force has been organized, equipped and encamped in a cen tra! portion of Kentucky, without consultation with the State authorities. If the people of Kentucky desire more troops, let them be ob tained under the Constitution of Keutuoky Ho recommends the passage of laws to euable the Military Beard to borrow a sufficient sum to purchase arms and munitions for the defence of the Sta'e. He also recommends the pas sage of resolutions requesting the disbanding or removal of all military bodies not under State authority from the State. THE PEACE PARTY. A new party is about to take the field and do battle in the approaching political contest. ID Maryland, we find that the only plank in the platform of the new organization is Peace. The whole force of the new party ia to be brought to bear against the present war.— Strange to say, but it is none the less true, they who seem so anxious to secure to the country peace have not one word of rebuke to utter toward those who broke the peace, which everywhere reigued supreme before the present rebellion was inangerated. All their clamor is directed against the President, and other officers of the law, who, is the discharge of sworn duty, are actively engaged in suppress ing the unholy insurrection. As well might these peace meo, par excellence, undertake to restore quiet and order in the midst of a great riot in a large city by arresting and putting to prison all the police; or they might as sensi tly undertake to arrest a lierce conflagration by sbootiug down all the firemen as to attempt to restore peaco by putting down those who are aetiug in defence of the Constitution and laws against (he depredations cf armed trai tors. | Dosirablo as is peace, there are worse evils : thau conflicts. He wLo meekly suffers Lis ; wicked neighbor to take from him ill his | worldly goods, and destroy bis good name, j rather than disturb the quiet that any long have prevailed troughout the community in which they may both reside, is unworthy the name of man; is false to those ft ho depend for support upon him, and is buying peace at, a I price entirely beyond its value—is paying too j dear for bis whistle. Better far, not only for himself and his, but for the reckless murau ! der, that the actual owner of the property as j sert his right and punish the offender, even ; with the utmost rigor of the law, than that an j unrighteous peace be the consequence of sub j mlß sio n to palpable wrong and outrage. It Peace is the greatest of earthly blessings, •* 8 lljo adhererts to the new party would make I the people believe, why did those for whom these evidently entertain so high regard, the leaders in the mad rebellion, disturb our re pose? Or, since that wicked act has been committed, why do not the peace advocates turn their attention to quitting their own IneDds—those who have been the aggressors. It thoso who clamor so loudly for peace are hoDest why do they not put the responsibility of the breach of peace upon the proper persons? Can murder be at toned for by permitting the guilty wretch to escape and in his stead bang ing the Sheriff, who is entrusted with the exe cution of the law? If the Dew dogma is to become the accepted rule of society: That when any wroog is done by a bad man be is not to be punished; but the Judge of the Court, whose sworn duty is to try, and deal out the law to such culprit, is alone to receive all the blame, how long will such an abomna ble usage secure peace? Beforo falling into tbe pit of iuextricable diffiouliy, it is well for the people to view tbe matter calmly; to see whether their pathway lies over solid earth, or whether beneath a smooth velvety surfaoe there is Dot dire caljui ity? lie who has no word of comfort for his country in her sid hour of distress; who only seeks to give aid and comfort to her enemies and assist tbcm in their cruel efforts to dcs. troy the best and purest form of Government aye, the most peaoeful—without any cause or provocation, simply seeking personal aggran dizement, is a bad adviser. Such an one is a poor leader for the hoDest masses to follow.— Every such man is himself as guilty of treason as is he who wields the sword, and, himself being amendable to the law, hts advice is full of danger for honest men to follow. Such is the positiou of every false-hearted creature who DOW cries peace. There is no doubt whatever about the true position of every roan who now joins in the cry for peace; every one of tbetn if be could do so without incurring the penalties of the confiscation act of' Congress, would j n the rebel army and if compelled to take part in the war and allowed to choose sides, they would all join the ranks of Jeff Davis. Not one of them will ever be found battling for tbe Government—many of them will yet join the army of rebellion. Large numbers of them would now be arrayed in deadly fcostili-, ty to the Uuion, with arms in their hands, but for tbe reason that they can best subserve the cause of assisting to carry elections in loyal States upon the basis of opposition to tbo natioual Government, and to its desperate struggle for the maintenance of its existence, under ihe deceitful cry of Peaoe. There was a time when these poaecmongers might have been of servioe to their country; when their efforts for peace might have done much good. If, before the first overt act of rebellion was committed, these uion had boldly arrayed themselves on the side of the Govern ment aad shown their love oi peace by assist* ing to swell the ranks of law and order, there never would have been any rupture in our land. The aid and comfort whioh these crea tures extended to those who begau tbo war, did more than anything else to produce Ihe strife, bloodshed and carnage which they now projess so much to deplore. Their reason for shouting for peace is not because they are sor* ry for the lives of innocent Northern men, loy al sons of freedom, who fall iu battle, for none of these uttered one word against the mob that ruthlessly murdered unarmed Northern men iu the streets of Baltimore on the 19tb of last April; but all their sorrow is reserved for the rebels who meet with the fate they justly deserve.— Repository.

WASHINGTON, September s. —Respectable gentlemen who have arrived here from North Carolina by a circuitous route say that the Union prospects in that State are of the most encouraging character. The acting Governor is a reliable Union man. Secret leagues ;of loyal citizens existjn every oouDty, which are rapidly increasing in strength, "and already number one-Lalf of the voting population of the State. A provisional State Government will be put io ( peratioo in a few months. Two full brigades of loyal men have been enrolled for the Union cause. The Leagues made extended arrangements for electing a member of Congress from every District, and four were known to have been elected on the 21st of August. The latest news is that the cDtiro eight are elected, eaoh having received a large vote. They are among the best men in the State, and will insist upon vigorous prosecution of the war. Their cer tificates of election will bear the signature of the Governor and the broad seal of the State. Since the engagement at Hatteras Inlet and the capture of the Forts there, the North Carolina troops have been withdrawn from Vir> ginia. Many cf the troops are dissatisfied with the war, and those who eotered the ser vice for a short time refuse to centinue in the Confederate employment. The ruaior of the death of Jeff. Davis has not yet been confirmed. [UP*Reader have you seen Prof. Wood's ad venisement in our paper. Read it; it will in terest you. MARRIED. On the sth. by the ltev. H.
