THE GREAT SANITARY FAlß. —Preparations are
going lorward vigorously for the great sanitary Fair
to be held in Phila., in a few weeks. The tempo
rary buildings are rapidly going up on Logan
Square, the broad and extensive avenues of which
will all be ocupied for this purpose. We notice
one of the principal bridge-builders in the country
on the ground, showing that every effort is to be
made to provide safe, substantial and commodious
accomodations.
In order to give some idea of the extent of, the
undertaeing, we would say that this groat Fair em
braces eighty-one committees, each of whicli ap
points sub-coiumiltees to more fully carry out the
duties respectively assigned to them. One of the
largest of these committee is the one on labor, in
come and revenues. The duties of this committee,
in a word, are to secure one day's "labor" or salary
one day's "income "or one day's "revenue" from
each person, not only in this Plate, but also in the
States of New Jersey and Delaware. The names
of some of the most prominent men in this and the
adjoining States are on the Committee, and every
interest is represented commercial and manufactu
ring, as well as agricultural. All who wish to fa
cilitate the work of this committee, and help to
make this Fair a grand success, are refered to the
advertisement. — American Presbyterian.'
THE QCOT.VS OF BEDFORD COCKTY. —We publish
this week a list of the quotas, credits ard} number of
men yet to be furnished by Bedford county. The to
tal number is six hundred and ninety-four. It is
claimed however that our credit has not been given
to several of the townships. The apparent deficien
cy, may, therefore be considerably reduced. We see
it stated in the papers that a draft has been ordered
for the State of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Dela
ware and we think Maryland. The official publica
tion of this listat this time, in our columns looks like
getting ready for it
THE GREAT CinTRAL Fslß.— -Our readers should
not overlook the advertisements of "(the Great Cen
tral Fair," given on another page. Tnb fair it will
be seen is to be held in Philadelphiaonfhe first week
in June in aid of the United States Saaftarj Com
mission. We have not heard that any 'Considerable
contributions have yet been made in the county, for
the fair.'' IT any thing, fitting and creditable to the
eon my is to be accomplished in the matter, immedi
ate and united effort will have to be made. '"" l
Late advices from Camden, Ark., say that Gen.
Steele's army is there, and had, previous to its arrj
▼al, effected a junction with Gen. Thayer. Gen.
Steele had completely ont-generxled "old Pap Price,"
who commands the rebel army in Arkansas, and
after flanking him out of one position after another,
finally started on a race with him for Camden, a
place very strongly fortified ori the Washita River,
and out-victor, entering the works unopposed
by the enemy. The fortifications were found to con
sist of ttino' fbrts, very strongly built, and capable oi
rcereting a largely superior force.

CAMP 2D BRIG. 3D DIV. 6TH ARMY CORPS, 1
BRANDT STATION,' VA. April 23, 1864. j"
To the Editor of the Bedford Inquirer. —Perhaps
a few lines from thts part of the world would not
come amiss, and may find a place in your valuable
columns. As soldiers don't do much writing, you'
must not expect much. We are still in our old cainp,
as the weather has Wen too changeable to admit of
opening the spring campaign; but from all appearan
ces, it will open soon. Every preparation is going
forward towards lhalnng vigorous efforts to crush this
unholly rel*?llion Out, and it is the heartfelt wish of
all true men to see this thing ended. It has lasted
too long already ; it is now time to make the Rebels
feel that it is useless to fight against the odds they
will hove to contend with. One army never was
stronger nor more eager to end this war than it is at
this time, to prove this assertion I refer you to Bed
ford county; aridsee thegreaternumber of enlistments
of late than formerly: In fact throughout the whole
north. We are glad to see that Bedford county has
redeemed herself by sending so many in response to
the last call. Many, whom we left affhome two years
ago, have since followed our footsteps to the battle
field, we welcome them with a soldier's welcome. It
shows that the spirit that animated the hearts of our
forefathers in 1776, is not yet extinguished in the
bossoras of their sons : and where that spirit exists,
the stars and strips must ever float. There is a terrible
strruggle impending in Virginia, which must end in
the death of the Southern Confederacy. This war
will end in Virginia. As the rebels appear to be
drawing there forces into the state, they will holdout
until they see that Richmond must fall, which will
take place before long. One thing sure, we will have
to fight, and that hard too; but this army has already
fought hard, which many bloody battle's fields will
show many of us must fall, but patriotism calls fur
the sacrifice. We are glad to know that we have so
many friends yet at home who stand by us, in the
noble cause that we are engaged in, but are sorry that
wt fov.e number of enemiesthatwe seem to have
at home that sympathise with the rebels, while we
are here, risking our lives, for our country s sake.
We like to War every person speak there sentiments
out, if they are L nipn let them be I nion, if they arc
the contrary let theai speak out plain; we would
rat.Her meet an open an enfcmy than a secret foe. An
> rent npm 7 more honor a secret foe, the lat
tCT i >cks both moral and physical courage, and are
beriekifc the i.'otice of a soldier and consequently we
pass thmn by insjient contempt. We' think it pru

IMPORTANT ORDER FROM GENERAL
Deatc the Penalty for Refuring to do a Soldiers
WASHINGTON". May 4.
Late Richmond papers received here endeavor to j
make light of the massaeip of colored soldiers at Fort I
Pillow. The articles are written in a jesting vein.— |
No excuse is offered to palliate the fearful offince
against the laws of war, but the editorials are an at
tempt to be witty and facetions over a horrible crime,
which they evidently fear will lead to retaliation. —
This is shown by threats slyly introduced as to what
will be done when word is received that their troops
receive a like fate.
The Star says there w3s a rumor this morning that
the colored troops, or a portion of them, attached to
Burnside's command, had been attacked by guerrillas
while doing gdard duty on the Orange and Alexandria
railroad, and that a number of them were killed or
wounded. After our inquiring we are satisfied this is
not the oase.
It is said, however, that yesterday morning while a
detachment of colored troops were changing position
they were attacked by a small party of guerrillas who
suddenly pounced upon them, but the negroes drove
them off without sustaining any loss.
Parties from the army to-day report having heard
heavy firing on our left early this morning.
Major General Meade has issued another order
relative to the men in the army who refuse to do duty
on the ground that their time of service has expired,
and statingthat the punishment for such conduct will
be death. ' ''

vors that can be conferred uppn jpau, vix: that of health.
For many years have I suffered fripii one of the most an
noying and debilitating complaints that the fami

During the long time 1 was suffering from this disease,
I was attended by regular physicians, giving me but tem
porary relief. Ihe cause set-uyed to remain until I wa*
induced ho try Hoo.fiar.d'* German Bitters. After the u
of a few bottles of that valuable mt-diciac, li.® complaint
appeared to be completely eradicated. •" - • ,
I often inwardly thank you for sueh a valuable speeifia
and, whenever 1 have,an opportunity, cheerfully recom
mend it, with full confidence in its reliability.

Gentlemen: In reply to yonr inquiry as to the effect
produced by tho uso of Hoofland't; German Bitters, in
my fumilv, I have no hesitaticn in saying that it has been
highly beneficial. In one instance, a ease cf dyspepsia of
thirteen years' standing, and which had become very dis-,
trcssing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, the sec
ond affecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has,confirmed
the cure, for there has been no symptoms of its return for.
the last-six years. In my individual use of it 1 find it to
be an unequalled tonic, and sincerely reeomtaena i( use
to the sufferers.

some of them tested, but without relief . Yor Hpofland'*
German Bitters were recornqjended who had
tried them, and whose favorable' inciitioil Of Bitters
ir luced mc also t,o try tlieni. I must confess that I had
au aversion to patent Medicines, from the "thousand nod

off sweetuned and drugged liquor upon the community,
in n j-ly-jWay; and kite tendency of which, I fqar,, ,ii to
make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning tpat
yours waft really, a medicine preparation, I Aook it with
happy effect. Its action wys not,upon only the stomach,
