On account of the hardness of the times and the pressing demands for cash upon us. we have de termined to come as near to cash term* as possible. Hereafter we must have the cash for all Orphans' Court printing ; Auditor's Notices, Estrays, tie.: also all Prottonotary's printing, occasional adver tisements and handbills. All new subscribers are also expected to pay ihiir subscriptions in advance. We do not thiuk Executors, Administrators, and Auditors have need to compiain at this change of terms. They -CAT, almosi at any time raise the few dollars that it will require to pay the Fiintei's bills. It wiil ave bother to them, and be of immense benefit to us. Old Quartets taken at par on all kinds of ac counts. " hoOAMES m'L.' " We this Jay hoist the namo of tho Iloa. JAMES, NILL of Frmkiin County, for the high end responsible position of President Judge of the 19th Judicial District. We published last week tho proceedings of the Conference at which he WJS nominated.— At the simc time we expressed our regret and <aorinio*tii>D, aud tho regret and mortification, of our friends iu this County, at the manner of his nomination. Three Countic s were rep resented in the C inference. The Conferees of (wo of (t-s-m had instructed for Mr. King, tut bo tif the Conferees from Fulton, disobeyed their instruct* ns and voted for Mr. Nill, who, in oor.sfq'ienee, received tbe nomination on firs! ballot. We are satisfied, and so is Mr. King, thai Judge Nill bad nothing to do with it- We believe that it was brought about by n candidate in Fuitto CouQfy for the Legisla te r, an J an ixpeetant in that County for tbe Congressional nomination next fall. Had Soitf. crsct Lecn represented iu that Conference, Mr. King would doubtless have been nominated. The nomination of Mr. Nill is regular ac cording to all the usages of t the party. Our Conferees went into tho Conference and voted, and a resolution was passed making tho nom ination unanimous. Mr. Nill received five votes out of the nine, and by the resolution nnkiog bis nomination unanimous, he received Rt.*!C votes, which represented three-fourths of all tbe Corioiics in tbe District. The character of Mr. Nill is above reproach, and ho should not he sacrificed because two of the Conferees delated their instiuctioos. We are ratified that Judge Nill did not expect the nomination, and ice. know he bad pledged himself to vote for the candidate presented by Bedford County, in case thai candidate bad re ceived the nomination. We stated ;u our paper last week, that "Mr. Nill is a strong and influential Union man, and bas all tbe qualifications necessary to make a geod Judge." We repeat this now. He has done more for the cause of the Union than any other roan in FraDklia County. Whilst -the press of bis party and many of the leaders in that County were advocating treason, Mr. Nill csine cut boldly, end by his talents, stemmed the tide of secession there. He will be supported b_v the Republicans and Union Demeora's, and wiil come out of that County witb at Last 1500 majority. W hen we compare Mr. Nill's talents and ir rept oathable character, with that of his oppo nent, Mr Rot By. wc think Republi cons and Union Democrats, will not bo long ia making up their minds to support Mr. Nill. MODE OF VOTING. Recollect, of Bedford County, that the Conoty ticket is voted on one etrip of paper, aod the President Judge on another.— Let every Union man not neglect to have the ticket for President Judge, with the name of that upright and honorable Union man, Jatnea Nill, upon it. Sympathisers wilh Treason! WILL YOU VOTE FOK THEM? i We are forty to say that tbe Democrat!* County ticket bus upon it the name* of sever al peraooe, who have been, and we fear are yet, the friends of, and sympathizers with, Treaaou. We feel compelled to state this fact, but it is nevertheless true. Fur Associate Judge, JAMES BURNS is tbe Ottudijdato of tbe Democracy. He has been me of the bitterest,io his denunciations of the Administration, in its ft oris to put down the gieat rebellion. He goes in for peace and , compromise with traitors with anus in their I bands, end strongly sympathises with the trai< tors Ought any lover of the Union vote for I him? We think not. JOBS METZQAR, the 1 Uuiou candidate for this office, is a strong Un | nion maD, and all patriots ought to vote for ! him. PHILIP SHOEMAKER, the Democratic aan didata for Commissioner, is said to be of tbe sauie stripe as Jatnes Burns. At least ths people of bis own Township ought to know.— WILLIAM KEEFFE. the Union candidate for commissioner, is a patriot end for the Union, and ought to be elected. DANIEL L. DEFIBACGH, is the Democratic candidate for Auditor. He is of the kidney with Barns and Shoemaker. SAMUEL M. UVERAICER, is the Union candidate, and a good Uuioo man. He ought to be elected. Voters, remember these things! REILLY AN IT LECO M PTON T . It will be remembered that the attempt to force slavery ou Kansas, probably, had as much to do with tbe present great rebellion, as any other thing. Hon. Wilson lieilly, at that time represented this Distriet in Uongrcee. — In tbe early stages of that bill and for a con siderable time after the disoustion of that question commenced, Mr. Reilly was known to be strongly against tbe Lecompton coosti" lution, which was intended to force slavery on the people of Kansas agaiust her solemn pro test. Mr. Reilly, it is said, went so far against that iniquity, as to have prepared a speech tu opposition to v. He suddenly, however, and without any apparent reason, turned complete ly around and r voted for the iniquitous Lecoinp , ton bill! lie, then, bis done as much as auy man, towards I ringing on this great aud iafa mous reUdl'Cii. In consequence of that votp, when be again appeared bofore the people of this District as a candidate for Congress, he was defeated. Is o ume.iablea man safe to entrust with our lives aud our property? If not, then vole against him, and for Hon James Nill. UNION RIFLEMEN. We have noticed a letter from Geo.

ROSS FORWIRDT ESQ, Ross FORWARD, Esq., was in our place on last Tuesday, and banded us the following Card for insertion in our paper this week. It will be seen teat he positively declines running for President Judge of this District. The contest lies between the Hon. James Nill of Chambersburg, and Hon. Wilson Reilly of the same place. When we take the characters of the rwo men into consideration, Republicans, and even Democrats, we think, would be corn* pelied to give tbeir votes to Hon. JAMES NILL, Mr. Nill will be warmly supported by Mr. Forward and will receive the Republican vote of Somerset County, as well as of the other conn ties of tbo District: D.

There are now from Bedford Coouty, ID the neigh borhood of six hundred soldiers in the service, and in a short time there will be several more companies on their way. Capt. Ryce's Com pany, before leaving, were addressed, in very patriotio and encouraging words, by Hon. John Cessna aud Maj. S. H. Tate. They were aecouipaDied out or town by large num bers of our citizen*. Success attend our gal* last boys. A SURE SIGN OF A GOOD MAN. The last Bedford Gazette, unable to say anythiug against the unimpeachable character of Hou, James Nill, attempts to ridicule him aud to make i's readers believe that Mr. Nill is unfit to discharge the duties of the office of President Judge. We consider this a sure sign of a good man. The Gazette cannot get Republicans to vote for Mr. Reiliy by abusing Judge Nill. BE WARNED^ A few tickets for President Judge, have been soot to soldiers, and a very few have beeu sent into parts of Bedford County, with the bame of Ross Forward upon them. * Mr. For ward is not a candidate, and to vote for bim i to give a vote to Wilson Reilly.

JAMES NILL, for President Judge. TO THE PEOPLE OF AND SOM- I EHiET COUNTIES. I regret very much that the lata day at which my nomination for the Legislature was made will render it impossible for me to visit many parts of the District. My views and opinions upon most subjects have been freely i expressed and are, 1 trust, generally known to '< the public, on the great and all important j ; question of the Union. 1 have not hesitated ' to express my views upon every proper oooa sioD since the present unhappy and disastrous civil war has commenced. These views and opinions are expressed in the resolutions, , adopted by a meeting of the people of Bed* ford .County, irrespective of party, held on the third of Sept. 1861, and published in the Bedford Gazette of Sept. 20th, 1861, aud the Bedford Inquirer of Sept..6th, IS6I. I . have only,to add now, that in oase a majority of the people should see fit to honor me with their suffrages, every measure which in my judgment would-teud to avert ibe great calam ity now upon us as a peoplo, shall reeeive my earnest and cordial support, and that I will in no evoot, knowingly, support any measure which, iu any way looks to the destruction or, this Government or the dissolution of our j Union. Nor will 1 knowingly support any : man who advocates any sooh measures. JOHN CESSNA. Sept. 27th 1861- ! IMPORTANT ADVANCE OF McCLEL LAN. WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. During tbo last week it was so frequently reported from day to day that our troops had taken possession nf Mtmeoo'a Hill, that when i last nigbl this loug premeditated event took place, it fouud few believers among those least excited by sensation rumors. A personal vis it, however, places the fact beyond doubt. The American flag now float* there in place of that of the rebels. I Detachments front) Generals Richardson Keyes's and Wadworth's brigades, and also from Franklin's division, now occupy Mnnsou's Hill, beiug iu command of Col. Ferry, of tbe sth Michigan regiment. Early this foreunou the pickets from Gen. Smith's position advanced to aod now occupy Fall's Church. Neither this nor the preceding movements met with auy opposition whatever, as the reb el army had ou Friday night retreated from the whole line of their positions froutiog Washington. Upton's hill, this side of Fall's Chureb, is necessarily inoluded among the points now held by the Union forces. Tbe works of the enemy at tbe places they had evacuated were, ia a mi lurry view, almost worthless, being nothing more than rifl? jits of very com uon coustruction. Tbe position at Munsou's and Murry's hill afforded tbe rebels nearly an obstructed view of ail our fortifications and other defeuce*. The appearance of the ground deserted by the rebels indicated that they were deficient iu those arrangements which serve to maka a camp life comfortable, having no tents, but merely shelters rudely constructed. There were no signs to show that they had ever mounted any guns there. Our troops are now so employed as to show that they do nut merely intend tem porally to occupy their present positions. The advance of Gen. Smith on Falls church from tho Chain biidge was attended by events of tbe mast deplorable character. Having passed Vanderwercker's and Vanderberg's hou ses, on their way to the former place, and wbeo about half a mi e from it, by some unaecouuta bio blander, Col. Oweu's Philadelphia Irish regiment, in the darkness of tbe night, mista king for the rebels Captain Mott's battery, wbich was iu the advance sustained by Gen. Baker's California regiment, Col. Baxter's Phil adelphia Fire Z >uivt3, and Uol. Fiiedman's cavalry, fired a full volley into tho troops last mentioned, killing and wounding * large num ber. The California regiment nut knowing whence tho filing came from, returned it with marked effect. The hoises attached to Mott's battery became unto inageble, and the tongues of the caisoos were broken, owing to the nar rowness of the road. Lteu.'enant Bryant, having command of ibe first seciion, ordered the guus to be loaded with grape and canuister and soon bad them ia range to rake tbe sup posed enemy, and wheu word was -eut to him that he wbi in the company of friends. All wis excitement, and a loDg time ehsDed be before the actual condition of affairs was ag* I certaincd nnd conSJenee re-estibli-hcd. Many i confused stories prevail as to tba pirties on whuut the hlatue should rest. j ALL THE IMPORTANT POINTS OX THE ! COAST OF TEXAS TAKEN BY THE GULF J SQUADRON. •CINCINNATI, Sept. 27. — A physician of this ; city, just arrived from the South, reports that ! tho United St.tes blockading squadron huvs ' taken Mississippi City, on the Gulf Cosst, j thus cutting off oouimuuieation by End aud j wutoi between Mobile and New Orleans, which, i from this point, is only seventy miles distant.

From gentlemen arrived in this city from ; Lexington, wo get additional interesting par j ticulars of the late siege at that place. The ' first assault upon Colonel Mulligan's eotrencb ; ments was made, as has heretofore beer, stated, !on Thursday, the 12th iust, in the afternoon, , when Price's fotees, after an engagement of | about two hours, wero repulsed with consider able slaughter. Two of the Rebel cannon 1 were dismounted, and the attacking party were | driven back two miles to the Fair grounds. No general fight occurred from Thursday until the following Wednesday, although there were frequent skirmishes between tbe pickets of the two armies. On Wednesday, Price, having been reinforced by Green aod Harris, and his coiunund then numbering, as is said, ! as many as thirty thousand, commenced a most ! determined and desperate siege. The fiubt j lasted from nine o'clock Wednesday morning j until five o'clock on Friday afternoon, when Oolouel Mulligan wn compelled to surrender | unconditionally. Of 'his whole time, the for- J ces on bth sides scarcely paused five minutes ,in the battle. Ihe roar of cannon and the j radio of musketry were kept up almost oon. | 'inu illy, day and night. The euomy erected j breastwork* of hemp bales, and fired upon tbe Federal garrison from tree tape, hillsides and ; roo.s of houxe*. Several terrific charges were I made upon the entrenchments, but in every I instance the secessionists were driven back by i bravo defenders of th; Stars and Stripes, j Fhutsday night Gen. Price sent in a flag | of truce, with a peremptory order for tbe un j conditional surrender of the entire forte, but ■ Col. Mulligan iorwarded a reply that he oould J not accede to the demand. This only served i to exasperate still more the besieger*, and the Oat'ls was renewed with greater vigor than before. On Friday too desperate charges were made on the fortifications, ttio Rebels rolliog bales of hemp before them tor breastworks, and thus proteciing themselves from the steady ; fire of the Federal troops. They also carried large bundles of hemp upon their arms to serve as shields ag-iinst the bullets that show ered upon thorn like rain. loouc of ihesp charges made in the after noon of h rid ay the Secessionists got their por table breastworks very near to the Federal entrenchments, firing upon tbe garrison as they advanced. At tl )e point where the attack was made <* company of Marshal's Illinois Cavalry, naler Uaptain Walton, and a company of the Irish Brigade, together with a company of Lexington Home Guards, were stationed. The advance of the IX. bo's seemed so overwhel ming that a terr >r-striokon Honrs Guard took a white b mdk rreaief an I lastenel it upon bis hayonet, thus improvising a flag of truce Tbe movement created considerable coofusion in the three FeJerel companies, who, anticipa ting that they would be taken prisoners, beat a hasty relreat. The Rebels were thus able to capture a six pounder from the trenches and another six poun.ler belonging to the Irish Brigade, tbat had been placed in a position to protect the Hopitsl, upon whieh the enemy bad no soru pies in firing. Tho tiking of these guns was signalized by a general shout an I hurrah in the Secession ranks, which demonstrations, however, soon ceased for good reasons. On reaehiua the wagon corral ou the iaside of the entrenchments, the Irish company rallied and the Lexingtm company returned. Another company wis ordered by Colonel Mulligan to their support, and the three made a bold and gallant charge, which resulted in the ra oaptare of the two guns, which wero imraedi stely planted in their former position. This splcnuid achievement was accomplished just bcf> re the reception of the list flag of trim from General Prioe's command, and wis about the finishing part of the battle. Tha surreuder wss undo at 5 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and was on account of the reasons with which the public are already ac quainted. Tho noble garrison had fought two days without food or water. Five hundred horses had been killed inside of the fortifica tions, aud the intolerable stench arising from their carcasses added to the sickening seosi tiong of the famished and exhausted troops. — Men fainted in the trenches for want of water, and when the surrender took plaoe, the whole eoromaud was droping with faintness and fa* tigue. The wonnded and killed on the Federal side amounted, in the whole engagement, to one hundred and forty nine. The dead, up to Monday morning, number The loss of the enemy is believed to be not less than one thousand, and is by some reported to have reached tifieiu hundred. ADDIJIONAL. In the hurty for preparing the foregoing from the accouuts of our informants, in time for our afternoon edition, some omissions were made which may be now supplied. The Federal loreo iusiJe the eatrcuchtpents wag twentyvseven hundred This embraces fjol. Marshal's Illinois oavalry regiment, equip ped only with sbrea and holster pistols, and therefore unable to do very ifjiciuut defensive service within the fortifications. JFhore was no shelter for the horses, and the affrighted ani mals were the marks for numberless volleys of the enemy. The writhing* t f the wouoied quadrupeds, whose hides quivered with fear and dripped with blood, are described as piti b!e in the extreme. Fire hundred horses, as h*i already been stated, were killnd, and many o'ht-rs were maimed aod crippled, liut if sympathy goes out for these soulless crea'nres, none cso listen to the narratives of i|ie Buffer ing of the meo without the t -ndercst compas sion. Iho heart aches to contemplate the situa tion of the brave heroes who fought so long and gallantly against such tremendous odds. Kach seemed to feel "as though himself were he on whose sole srtn hung victory." One is thrilled in every fibre by the accounts of in dividual valor and daring displayed bv the beleaguered garriiDo. It is only the mastery of the will over the weakness and exhaustion of the lio.ty which we see cn occasions of great excitement, that can expiaiu the almost super human achievements of these < hivalric troops. The demands upon their physical natures in the weary watchings, the continual activity; the sleepless alertness, which the men were forced to undergo without the customary re liefs that sustain and brace up the human frame, tn ike ibeir triumph of heroira over the depressing circumstances by which they were surrounded bs wonderful a* it W3S sublime. All accounts pgree in ascribing to Col. >lal ligan the qualities of a brave soldier and an excellent commander. In the trying perils i that environed him be was cool, even tempered and confident. To tepea'ed demands upon him to surrender be returned a respectful but firm negative, still hoping that Providence would open up some way to escape from the threatened humiliation, until fatigue, thirst and overpowering despair rendered his noble gar i risen incapable of further resistance, when, with no ordinary reluctance, he felt obliged to I succumb. Perhaps there are some who can appreciate the emotion that swelled his manly breast when this consent was wruog from him Of the subordinate tffiiers, too, we havo eulogistic accounts. Possibly there were some who betrayed selfishness and fear, but the in* stances were rare indeed, and were scarcely numerous enough to be weutioned as excep tions. The piivatee reposed the greatest faith : <n their leaders, and exhibited ail the obedience and cheerful alacrity that characterize true soldiers. The behaviour cf the Irish Brigade is spoken of in the most enthusiastic term*.— These troops did nut seem to have the most distant acquaintance with what it is to bs whipped, aul were with d'ffi:nitv restrained j from hreaking through the entrenchments and rushing into the very jaws of death to beat back the assailants. The members of ono j company of this command, with a company of the Lexiogton Home Guards, distinguished themselves in a conspicuous manner on the : first day of the combined attack of tbe.encmy. This was en Wednesday evening about darK. ! A detachment of Gen. Harris' division, num* bering five hundred, wa* stationed between ; the fortifications and the river, and were in the act of planting a battery when the two companies referred to charged upon the Reb i els, repulsed them with the bayonet, and cap tured a large Secession flag. The Federal loss at the siege of Lexington fel4 principally upon the Irish Brigade, bat we have been unable to obtain any lists of the killed and wounded. Colonel Robert White, of this city, was dangerously wounJed, but at the time our informants left it was supposed he would recover. Colonel Peabody was wonnded in the ancle. Colonel Grovcr, of Johusou county, was also wounded. In Gen. llarri, (Rebel) division It is saiij that tweuty-Sve officers were killed. Some idea may he formed of tho "casual!- tic" on the side of the invaders from the statement that the wounded occupied the Semi* nary building of Lexington, the Übzibeth Hull las titu t°, Franklin buarJtng hoyse, Beverlv Lee's Louse, Milson's house, Br. Atkinson's housn , Foster's house, end several hou>es on South street. Hospital flags were, indeed fly ing in all parts of the town. It is stated that several guns were fired upon the fortifications from the Secession ranks after the flag of truce was 9eut in with the l ist demand for a surrender . The prisoners were also grossly insulted after their release, by the Secessionists of Lexington. The privates of Col. Marshal's Illinois Cavalry and of the Irish Brigade were releas ed en Saturday morning upon parole. The Lexington Home Guards were detained till Saturday evening.
