"FEARLESS AND FREE."
J. R. Du rborrow— Editor & Propt'r*
TO THE PATRONS OF THE BEDFORD
INQUIRER.
Our connection with the Bedford Inquirer
has ceased. We have disposed of the estab
lishment to Joseph R. Durborrow, Esq., of
Woodberry. Mr. Durborrow is a graduate of
this office, and a good praotioal printer. He
has had soms experience in the chair editorial,
is a writer of considerable talent, and altogeth*
er the Inquirer will not suffer in his bands.
During our control of this paper, events,
mighty in importance to this great Republic,
and to the world, havs occurred: The admis
sion of California into the Union as a free State
according to the wishes of her people, and the
Compromise measures of 1850, forced upon the
government by the pro-slavery leaders, in oon
sequencf —the election of Frankliu Pierce—
tho repeal of the time-honored Missouri Com
promise—the election of BuohanaD } and tfcs ,
attempt to foroe slavery upon the people of
Kansas against their will—all culminating in
the present giant Rebellion against the best
Government ever devised by man. Happily,
however, although the past' year has been one
of gloom, the skies are now brightening—the
day begins to dawn —the back-bone of the
Rebellion is broken—and we can sea through
the dim vista of the future, our glorious Re
public, rise higher and higher, in the soale of
nations—the home of the oppressed of all
lands, and the abiding place of the sweet spirit
of Liberty, we fondly hope, through all time
to come.
Snob is now the state of affairs, and we
therefore leavo our position with less regret.
Through all the mighty events wbioh we have
passed, we have tried to perform oar duty to
our fellow wan, and to our country. If we
have erred, and to err is human, it has been
from the judgment—not from the heart.
To our frienda who have stood by us far
more than twelve years, we tender our heart
felt thaoke. Those whom we have mainly
helped into office and position, and who then
without cause, not only turned enemies to us,
but strove to iojuire the press, thereby strik
ing at their party, hsve our most profonnd and
heartfelt contempt. Our connection with the
press for so long a time has beon agreeable to
us, and ws are sorry tLat circumstances com
pel us to relinquish the editorial tripod.
A word in favor of our successor. He is a
now beginner, and we hope the friends of the
good cauoe will stand by him and the press.—
Every subscriber should make it a point to pay
in advance, or at least during the year. A
bill for subscription when it runs for ten or a
dozen years, amounts to a considerable sum,
and it may then appear hard for some to pay,
whilst if they had pai3 for their paper in ad
vance, or within the year, they would soarcely
have missed the small amount. We hope the
friends of tho cause will take the paper, pay
for it, sod use their best exertions in its be
half,
We have made arrangements with our suc
cessor, to supply all those subscribers who
have paid ns in advance, with the papers whiob
are due them.
in conclusion, if we have wrongfully offend
ed any during our long connection with the
presa, we ask their pardon, and any who have
r (Tended us, we freely forgive. With our
breihreD of the press we have beeu generally
on friendly terms, and we part from them with
regret. Finally, to all, Farewell!

Principles aro tho basis upon whiob all ra

the iodividu<l. Admit either of the axioms,
wud (be American reader unhesitatingly ds
uuuds from his public servant an exposition
of tbe ( 'principles whiob will characterize his
sayings and doings. This we claim to be sa
cred. All men should hold such oonvictions
as are essential to the welfare of their country,
and holding such convictions and maiutaioiog a
public position, the public have the peremptory
light to demand, and not only demand, but to
know, (he principles of their functionary. This
may he a docirino susceptible of controversy,
but it is absolutely necessary tu in contain

la oeuduoting the Inquirer we shall devote
its column* to our country first: The BUS*

most liberal, rum grand, and most paternal

Tue few short years of our race Lave been
char c eriz<d, chiefly by an hrnorabie dtvotiou
to the Republican Party; we say honorable de
votion, as we have never delved down into the
Billingsgate of politic*, but always have main
tained that if high tcneJ, impartial reasoning
can not counteract the impressions of anoth
er, black guardism, never. The Inquirer, will
then earnestly devote its best efforts to that
Party with wbioh we have acted, and throngh
which we firmly believe we can beat advance
the interests of our country, or wo should nev
er have aoted with it.
The davelopemeut of the prolific resources
of Bedford County, we shall constantly bear in
mind, and ever labor to accomplish. To ac-.
complish this it will be obligatory, we hope, up
on parties interested to give us all the facts and
figures in their possession, to aid us in convinc
ing the capitalists of the East that Bedford
County is worthy of their best investments.
We hope to furnish the local matter of the
County in our looal columns, and to enable ns
to suoceed in this project, we earnestly request
cur friends throughout the ooanty, to furnish
us with all matters of importance that may
transpire in their respective localities.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Ma. EDITOR:—
According to previous con
tract, I have just arranged my maohinery, oil
ed the gudgeons, and coinmuDioatod its motioD
to the "mule," for the purpose of spinning a
few "skeins" for the many readers of the, first
number of your paper. Although, I would
have them consider that new machinery, in gen
eral, never works well at first; there'are many
defects to be remedied; many punotilious ob
servations required, before perfect satisfaction
is rendered.
Thus it is on the present occasion: some
parts of the machinery work too loose, others
too light;—indeed so light that the motion not
uofrequently ceases entirely; sometimes the
threads break before they have attained the
proper length; and maDy and various other de
fective, and trivial obstructions force themsel
ves in the way.
Therefore, I hope no one who has properly
considered this, will be so ungrateful as to re"
quest an extensive job of the fir it time, at
leapt.
Yet, in the meantime I must not neglect to
remark our newly initiated editor; it, certainly
would be very impolite to slight him. Editor!
Editor! EDITOR!! this is rather a novel
appellation, is it not? it sounds decidedly
strange to me—jiot that I consider him un
worthy of the title—Oh, no ! but having made
his acquaintance, originally as brother
Pedagogue, and latterly, as {not brother) School
Director, I cannot refrain from regarding it as
quite a contrast.
Notwithstanding the contrast, or strange as
the title may appear, I oongratulate him upon
his undertaking, and hope that he may seoure
the approbatiou and support of the entire com
munity. Aud I hope that the first number of
the Inquirer will make its appearance iu auoh
a mariner that will reflect a credit upon the
publisher, aud a gratification to its patrons.—
May it issue forth as the waters of a crystal
| fountain—pure, bright and sparkliDg, like a
dew-drop in the suoshuie of a May moruiug,—
clothed with the garb 6t patriotism and litera
ture.
Well, it appears, tho understanding was,
wheu I first engaged in the tedious task of
writing this piece, to furnish the readers of
the Inquirer with the looa!" news pertaining to
town of Woodberry and vicinity; but yoa have
found no locals yet, have you ? 1 tell you lo
cals are decidedly rare in this section of the
oouDtry, at preseut, with the exception of the
daily inquiries made in regard to the rebellion
—this is the universal excitement, and why
sbouid it not he ? Where is there a uno who
is in poosseesion of one drop of loyal blood,
that is not more, or less interested in this ex
citement ?
Where is that venerable sire who has borne
the heat and fatiguo of sixty summers, that
does not feel an ardent desire to ascertain the
facts relative to the welfare aud safety of his
only son, who is now facing the fire of the ene
my, and feeling a resolute determination to
conquer, that be may return to his paternal
roof, exclaiming,"the victory is ours—the Un
ion forever?" When the feeble voioe of the
father responds, in the last words of tho pa
tpotie Wolfe, "then 1 die content."
How ctu that pious mother retire to her bed
without first offering a prayer to the God of
battle, in- bobalf of her soo, her darling boy,
who, amid her sobs aud entreaties, buckled ou
his armor for the field of battle; declaring
that he would shod ths last drop of blood in
her defence ? Should his breathless oorpse be
laid before her, would the painful sight not
oause her heart to overflow with sighs and lsni
entatiou for hie premature loss ? Yet, would
Dot the secret whisperings of patriotism, pen
etrate her mind, that it is an honor to possess
such a noble hearted son--such a noble heart
ed boy, whose last spark of vitality was ex
tinguished in defence of oce of the most per
fect governments in (he known world ?
Does out that daughter—that sister whose
cheeks are flashed with the tint of the lose,
whu.se eyes eptrkle amid the gay and fashiona
ble eirule of her companions, feel an interest
in the behalf of a father—a brother, who are
defending their eountr; and their bo tuea ?
BEDFORD INQUIRER.
It is true, our aocuitry, sod evou our town -
ship are poluted with individuals whose hearts
are corrupted with sympathetic feelings toward
the south. Ys, men who would trample, un
der foot, that banner which has waived "o'er
the land of the free" for awre than severity
years!
* The present aspect of the weather gives in
dications, ouco again, of the approach of that
long-wished-for period—Spripg. The farmers
have already taken the advantage of the few
bright days by being busily engaged in pre
paring tbeir ground for the reoeption of oats,
corn &o. They, doubtless, were laboring un
der tbo impression, two weeks since, that if
warm weather did not approach "at tha appoin
ted time at last," they would be fortunate e
nough, by the tenth of May, to have their corn,
oats &e., in tbeir barns instead of in tbe
ground.
But imagine tbe pleasant feeliogs of tbe la-
dies since the appearance of tbe beantifnl days.
What 6tuiling countenances! What a con
trast within a few days! Why is it! Why,
they have, long since, been anticipating the
prospect of gardening, but have been sadly
disappointed till, within the last few days, the
dark clouds have dispersed, and the sky has
become beautifully serene.
Is it not reasonable that they should appear
"gay and happy," and even rejoice that "tbe
harvest is not past, and the summer ended* 4
before they have tbe pleasure of enjoyiog the
prospect of a dish of lettuce, or peas 1 Be
sides a variety of other articles belonging to
the vegetable kingdom-
Then behold there is Flora's vocabulary
the most tasty part of all, requiring much care
and attention. Taking all these tbiogs into
consideration, they would, iDdeed, be deserv
ing of pity, should the chilling northwestern
set in again, and chant their matin notes to tbo
tune of the falling flakes, and tbe pelting
sleet. But we hope, and trust that Provi
dence will coniinue to soiile upon tbeui—at
leust if the storms of winter are past.

BATTLE OF WINCHESTER.
FULL ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE.
GREAT LOSSES OE THE EAEMY.
[Specta/ Co/ respondence oj the Eve. Post. J
WINCHESTER, Va. Marob 24, 1862.
It was a hard fought battle on both sides, but
the valor of our troops carried every thing be*
fore it and won the day. We have completely
beaten the enemy , taken five guns at the point
of the bayont, killed about two hundred and
fifty, takon three hundred prisoners, and have
from one hundred and fifty to two hundred more
here wounded in hospital. Jackson chose his
ground, bad the best troops in tbe (southern
Army, took his own time, and was fairly beaten
by ao'even Dumber. To explain the battle I rnus;
go back a little.
THE ADVANCE.
Last week, when the forcosjbrought to attack
Winchester,bad assemled there, General Shields
with a sufficient force, was sent in pursuit of
Jackson, who had retired to Strasburg, eight
teen miles from heto. General Shields follow
ed Jackson on to Strasburg, drove huu out af
ter a li'itle skerntishiug, and occupied the towu
Jackson retreating to Jackson's Mountain,
twenty-three miles further. General Shields
having no desire to pursue him furher, aud it
being no part of our plan to hold Strasburg,
returned to Wiuchester with the whole of his
command.
In tho meantime it had been arranged to send
off the i;roops at Wiuchester to join McClelian,
and for that purpose a bridge had beeu built
at Snicker's Ferry, and most of the troops sent
off. Shields, with bis entire force of abont
twelve thousand, still remained io Wiuchester,
however, aud, owiug to tbe bridge at the break
ing down, General \V illiams' Brigade was de
taiued from crossing, and was only fifteen
unles off.
THE REBELS DECEIVED.
Jackson supposing that alPthe forces had been
withdrawn except two regiments, aud receiving
urgent letters from Secession inhabitants to
move back, started from Jacksou's Mountain
on Friday, marobed the forty-three utiles io
two days, and arrived at outskirts of tbe town
Saturday evening. In order to be sure of tbe
number nf uieu here; Colonel Ashby made a
bold dai-h with his cavalry into town, taking
several prisoners aud wounding several others.
Our artillery was at ouce brought to bear ou
them, aud au artillery duel was kept up quite
briskly for some time, iu wbieh Geu. Shields
was struck ou tho arm by a piece of shell,
causing a sevoro contusion, lut ooi <rough
however-, *0 confioe him to his bed while tbo
battle of yesterday was goiDg on, although to
bis troops belongs tbo glory of the day.
Jackson feeling satisfied from Ashby's
reoonnoisance that there was not foroe enough
here to resist him, prepared for battle on Sun
day morning. lie chose a long ridge, with a
broad sweep in front for bis artillery, for
growth of underbrush and woods. This ridge
is about five miles southwest from Winohester
ou the right of the Strasburg turnpike.
THE BATTLE.
Early in the morning (be battle commenoed
principally with the artillery, and was kept ap,
with occasional firing from infantry, all the
forenoon and the early part of the afternoon.
Abont 4 P. M. oar infantry opened a (brisk
fire upon tbeui, and drove thein from point to
point with great loss and gaining confidence
from their fair suooess, a brilliant bayo
net charge and oaptured five guns, 4 of
them twelre-pounders. The enemy's loss was
greatest in a thioket at the bottom of the ridge
before mentioned, where tbey were strongly
posted behind a denoe growth of underbrush,
and from which they poured out a murderous
fire on our troops. But nothing oould with
stand tha valor of our men. They never
flinched or gave way an inch, but gave more
thaD tbey took, and after a fierce fight gained
the enemy's flank, which caused them to flee
precipitately.
SCENES ON THE BATTLE-FIELD.
1 rode ont to-night to the scenes of conflict,
and although a fall day has passed {siuca the
battle, the dead lay thiokly strewed around. iD
tbe thicker nt the foot pf the ridge, tliers was
the greatest number of them, and ther© tbSj
lay, the ooid wind whistling about them, their
upturned taees looking doubly ghastly in the
fading twiljght. I turned away with a shudder.
1 bad toTtep carefully, for it was almost
dark, and the dead bodies were so tbiok that
it required a good deal of care to avoid tread
ing on them.
One of the surgeons , said he oountsd two
hundred and thirty dead bodies yesterday, and
from all accounts, I should tbink be might have
seen as many. 1 saw thirty-three to-night on
bat a small part of tne ground, in half an hour
of twilight, a day after the battle, wbon many
of the dead had been removed. 1 saw no
offiors among the dead, and suppose the Rebels
must have removed tbem when shot and car
ried them off with tbem.
THE WOUNDED.
There is at the hospital now, a Rebel Captain,
who is terribly wounded. A ball struok bim
behind tbe eye, tearing out both eyes and tbe
upper part of his nose, and strange to s*ay, tbe
surgeons think he may recover. We have tak
en prisoner# two of General Jackson's Aide
de-camps and several officers, besides over 300
men. We have lost about sixty in killed, inclu
ding Oolonel Murray; of the Eighty-fourth
Pennsylvania, wbioh was badly cut op, and
have about one hundred and fifty wounded,
most of tnem not very badly. The surgeons
are hard at work, and, assisted by tho surgeons
of tho other brigades which have been sent up,
are fust getting tbe wounded well cared for.
I put our killed at sixty, which 1 think
will cover tho loss. I myself counted fifteen
in the hospital and ihirteou on the field, who
will be brought iu to-morrow; and as I saw
perhaps half, 1 think my estimate is nearly
correct.
Rebel and Federal wounded reccivo exactly
the same care and attention at the hands ot
our Surgeons and attendants. Every one
seems to forget that they were our enemies iD
remembering that they are our fellow creatures
in want of oare and attention, and, as such de
serving ever)thing we can do for them. 1
saw this foroibly illustrated by a rougL-look
ing man who had beep preparing somo gruel
lor the wouuded. Tbo first man be came to
wu# a federal, the next two wero Rebels.
With the same tenderness be beld up tbeir
heads and gently put the gruel intc their
mouths. He aid not stop to question to which
side tbey belonged. It was enough for him
that they were in distreis. In painful contrast
to this true nobility of soul has been the con
duct of some of the Secession woman. Tbey
n?ve been to tbe hospital to inquire if there
wetC any confederates wouoded there, ami so,
teoderiug their scr'ioes; but if not they went
away, doiog nothing uud CfLring BO assistance.
SECESSIONIST WOMEN;
The Sscssion women here will receive a$ terri
ble a retribution as auy ooe can wish theru
when the whole result of the fight is kocWu.
Scarcely a family io the town but has one or
uiore relatives <n Jackson's ariuy, and there is
scarcely a family iu the oouuty but will have
to bemoan tbe loss of some friend. I cauuotpity
tbe women. To tnem belouas more thau half
of the blame of this war. They have urged en
youua brothers aud friends aud pushed them
into it. They it was who misinformed Jackson
of the strength of the Federal army her# and
wrote urgat letters to him to come back.
One of the prisoners said that when the day
was going against him Jackson swore that
bad it Dot been for the women be shouldn't
have got into this scrape- Aud uow when
Jackson has been fairly beaten by their misiu
formatioo they have the impudence to say
that was a confederate victory rafter all, that
Jackson didn't come to take Winchester, but
had some ulterior and io view, which he has
accomplished, and then retired. If a sound
thrashiog, tbe loss of a sixth of his foroo aud
the complete demoraliz itiou of the remainder
was his ulterior, view, he has succeeded to a
oharm. llis stone wall brigade fought behind
a atone wall bravely, but they were routed
after a fair fight.

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT, ON SLAVERY.—Gov. j
-Sprague of Rhode Island, is one of the liwy
men of the present day. His gallantry in the!
field of battle, and bis untiring efforts to raise ,
troops for the support of the Union, are well
known and appreciated. He ba3 recently been
renominated for Governor by tbe democrats of
the State, but refused promptly to commit him
self to tbe resolutions adopted by bis party in
their State Convention. Tbe Providruee Re
view and Journal contains a long address from
his peD, in which he speaks very plainly of the-*
questions raised by the war. He says:
"It is a puperfioiai view, therefore, of tbe
present national crisis, which supposes that
this conflict can end and leave things as it
foimd them.
"We must oross this flood that swells and
foams, or abandon the national hopes of a
glorious future. The issue already made be
tween oppression and liberty aiust be fought
out to the end now, or refought hereafter, and
perhaps under aggravated circumstances, sla
very reestablished, and tbe same consequences
essentially would follow agaiu.
"There is really no possible hopeful end to
this conflict but the end of slavery. There is
no such easy escape from the national troubles
as some seem to imagine—ho prmpect of the I
war beiog short but by being useless, of else
Ly being radical and determined, anu, i way j
add, in regard to false principles, must uuspar
ing. To propose, therefore, mat rhe Union !
shall survive and its glory and it* power bo ;
triumphantly restored ami perpetuamU, is vir- j
tually to doom slavery ro speedy extinction j
Tbe preservation of tho Union ami the deo- j
truction of slavery are inseparable; aye, in- i
dentioal now; ud he who votes for the one :
uecessarily votes for fbe other.
"1 have not thought it necessary to show j
that, under existiug circumstances, we arc ie
leased from all legal or moral obligation to
longer'toierate slavery in the land, if the safe
ty of tbe nation demands its extinction. The
ease is too plain for doubt.
'•Tbe permission of slavery in the constitu
tion, if there be, as asserted and generally ad
mitted, is only implied, and
deoiured. That instrument seems to have been
inide in anticipation of a better and more just
time to oonre. The framers must have inieua
ed that whea slavery should he done away, the
constitution should still remain; and that with
this national progress and extermination ot
evil, the lauguage of the constitution should
beeome even uow more appropriate, and tars
highest law of a nation where freedom and
justice and equal rights are the ineriiance oi j
every mau, abide in its righteousness lorev
