The ability, integ rity and sound loyality of Mr. Householder have never been doubted, ray, he ie coumjipd ded to ns for these very traits by oar friends io Bedford, and being our regular Piuiinee, irreproachable and unimpeachable in every ,re?pect, we as Republicans are houno by < ve ry tie of party aud sentiment of honor to sop pott hitu s fully as we support Mr. Schrosk, and in as goo i faith as we expect Mr. fvhroek to be supported in Bedford County. Reports are being industriously circulated ot th. uu lueuso majority Mr. Uessua will h.vejn Bed ford and th determination ut 'he Republi Otttis there to support him. From peiS'>Dsl observation and inquiry made iu t.>t count within the last week we are satisfied thse siorie* arc not true. While Republicans there admire the noble stand taken ny Mr. Cessna for the Union, yet as the nominee of a party which by their resolutions occupy a position adverse to his, they cannot support htm, nod cveu if the Republicans ot that county w,ru iivauaui treacherous enough — which we do tint believe them to be — io desert th ir own cindtdate with whom they find no fault, so much 'he more reason that we by N supporting him, *bould wash our bands of th dishonor which must a'ttcii to his defeat if thai occurs through treachery or trickery.

Tender ties have been sundered, and proud hopes crushed in the cmly death of this affectionate ami promising child. But he was a child of the covenant, and dyiritr in early childhood we trust "it is well with him." His bright and intellectual face is darkened by the shadows of death his ringinir laugh is hush ed in the silence of the grave, his little feet have escaped the weariness ot the life pilgramage. A joyous spirit mingles with the heavenly throng, and the sleeping dust wait# the resurrection morn. It was a beautiful thought of Archbishop Leigh '.ofc, that departed children are hut gone to bed a little sooner a children are wont. And not a few parents who have been iiereaved of children can adhpt the sent merit of Thomas Scott, who said: '•when I ednsider what a dangerous world we live in, I can almost rr-joice to think that three of my children arrived, as I fully trust, at the place of rest, without encountering the perils' and tempests -of the passage."
