To the Union Men of Bedford County.
Since David Over has undertaken to establish a
new paper in this Borough, a considerable interest
has been manifested to know the terms of the agree
ment in regard to the.sale of the INQUIRER. Over,
we are informed, is endeavoring to excite a sympathy
towards himself, by representing that he was compel
led to sell out his newspaper establishment—that we
"held the lash over him," and threatened to start an
opposition paper if he did not sell oat to us. Neither
■of these statements are true. We heard from differ
ent parties in Harristrarg and in Washington City,
about the middle of last winter, that the Bedford
INQUIRER could probably be purchased. We came
to Bedford soon after hearing this. We immediately
sought out Mr. Over, and on our first interview with
him he offered to sell the INQUIRER to us for three
thousand dollars. Not a word was said by either of
us about starting another paper. This was a large
sum, larger than we expected to pay. A good deal
of dissatisfaction at Mr. Over's course as an editor
was-expressed to us. and every leading Union man in
the County, with one or two exceptions, who could
be consulted in regard to the matter, advised us to
establish a new paper: promising us the united sup
port of the Union party in this Couuty. We did not
favor the idea of starting another paper, but strongly
opposed it. It was represented to us on every hand
that Over, by his conduct, had forfeited the confi
dence of the party he professed to act with. He had
no claims, they all said, either upon the party or the
-community for farther support. They regarded his
price as an attempt at extortion, which ought not to
be submitted to. Over had offered the INQUIRER a
few months before for two thousand dollars. While
the matter was sri'i pending, some forty of the most
active Union men of the County signed a paper, rep
resenting to Mr. Over that the good of the Union
party required the transfer of his paper to some other
person than himself. This had no effect in reducing
the price asked, and an agreement was finally made
between us. by which Over received the full amount
he asked at first: namely, three thousand dollars.—
We were and are satisfied with having paid that sum.
The material in the establishment was not worth over
six hundred dollars. It was the business and the
location that we paid so much for. Over himself has
repeatedly told different parties that it was the busi
ness and good will of his establishment that made it
so valuable. The types were worthless, and nothing
but a few old cases and stands were of any value.—
We have purchase*! over eight hundred dollars worth
of printing material since we took possession. This
man Over, we hear, represents that there is an un
derstanding between us. Of course such stuff is faise
and absurd. There is no understanding between us.
If he succeeds, it must be done by dividing the party,
and at the expense stsd injury of the INQUIRER. lie
has no right to print a paper here. He might as well
take our press and types, as to take the business, if
he can get it, which he has sold to trs. It is gratify
ing for us to state in conclusion that he is not re
ceiving any support worth anything from the Union
men of Bedford County. The movement, we believe,
is condemned everywhere by good citizens of all par
ties. We append, for the information of our readers,
a copy of the article of agreement made between
•David Over and the present publisher of this paper :
ARTICLES of agreement made aad concluded this
eixteenth day of February. A. D., eighteen hundred

DR. WM. WATSON. —The following extract from
the correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer , is
dated White House Landing, June 1. Our readers
will see from it that Dr. Watson's services ate highly
valued in the army. Dr. Watson has been almost
incessantly occupied since the late campaign opened
in performing surgical operations, and always with a
success unusual for one of his years and comparative
inexperience.
Yesterday Dr. W. Watson, Surgeon of the One
hundred-and-fifth Pennsylvania, and Assistant Sur
geon Gerald D. O'Farrell. Sixty-third Pennsylvania
Volunteers, with their hospital nurses, arrived here
from the Wilderness, where they had been detailed
to remain with the wounded of Biraey's Division af
ter the battles of the oth. 6th and 7th. They remain
ed three weeks within the limits of the enemy's lines,
during which time they suffered much, not only from
the deprivation of all supplies, but also from the fre
quent incursions of White's and other guerrillas, who
plundered both men and officers alike.
The wounded under charge of the above named
Surgeons were recaptured by two regiments of caval
ry and one of infantry, and brought to Fredericks
burg, and thence shipped for Washington. They
speak in the highest terms of the care and attention
they received from Drs. Watson and O'Farrell.
A HANDSOME ATLAS.—A new edition of Mitch el's
New General Atlas has lately been issued. It con
tains maps of the various countries of the world,
plans of cities, embraced in fifty-three quarto maps,
forming a series of eighty-four maps and plans, to
gether with valuable statistical tables. The maps are
all printed on steel plates, engraved in the best style,
and bringing the changes in the boundaries of coun
tries down to the latest dates. Plans of the principal
cities of the United States are given on a large scale.
A list of the post offices in the United States and in
the Canadas is given. It contains the population of
the United States, in States and counties, from the
censuses of 1850 and 1800; the population of the chief
cities of the world according to the latest estimates,
the height of mountains and the length of rivers and
other useful matter. We do not know of any other
atlas published at so low a price as desirable and
convenient as this. Many of our readers will have
an opportunity of procuring this map in the course
of a few weeks from Mr. David English, who is
the agent for the publishers in Bedford county.
CHCRCH DEDICATION. —The Methodist church at
Tatesville was dedicated last Sunday. A large num
ber of persons were present from Bloody Run, Hope
well, Bedford, and the neighborhood around the
Church. Rev. Mr. Mills, of Altoona preached in
the morning and in the afternoon. Rev. Mr. Pols
grove, of Bloody Run, was present, and took part in
the exercises. The Church cost about five hundred
dollars. It is a neat building, and will seat near two
hundred persons. On the morning of the dedica
tion, two hundred dollars remained unpaid on the
Church. This whole amount was raised during the
day. and the Church stauds free -from debt. Certain
persons from Bloody Run. who appear to think mon
ey put in Churches, a payinginvestment, contributed,
as might have been expected, a large part of the
two hundred dollars.

U. S. 10-40 BONDS.
.FTIIIKSE Bonds are iwaed under the Aet of Cougre** of
Murcti Bth 1864, which provides that eU Bond* itmed
under thi* Act thell he EXEMPT FROM TAXATION" by
or under *ny state or municipal authority. Subscription*
to these Bond* ereroeeired in UnliSd State* note* of Na
tional Bank*. They are TO BE REDEEMED' IN* COIN,
at the pleasure of the Government. at any period not Ute
: than tea nor more than forty yean from their date, and un
til their redemption Fire Per Cent. Interest will be
Paid in Coin* on Bond* of not over one hundred dol
lars annually. The interest is payable on the first day*
March and September i each year.
Subscribers will receire either Registered or Coapon
Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are re
corded dft the Books of the U. S. Trea*orr, and can b*
transferred only oa the owner's order. Coupon Bonds
are payable to order, and are more convenient for com
mercial uses.
Subscribers to this loon trill hare the option of having
their Bob ds draw interest froin March Ist, by paying the
..corned interest in coin—(or in United States notes, or
the notes of Xiftiunal Banks, adding fifty per cent for pre
mium., or receive tiicnj drawing Interest from the date of
subscription and deposit.. As these Bonds are
Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation.,
their value is increased from one to three per cent per an.
nam. according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of
the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold they pay
OVER EIGHT PER CENT, INTEREST
in currency, and are of equal convenience a* a permanent
and temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities offer so great inducc
j ments to lender* a* the various descriptions of U. S.
Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith and
ability of private parties or stock companies or separate
communities only is pledged for payment, while for the
debts of the United States the whole property of the coun
try is holder! to secure the payment of both principle and
interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sates from £6O
up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus
made equally available to lite smallest lender and the
largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at
any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the
interest.
It may be useful to state in this connection that the to
tal Funded debt of the United States on which interest is
payable In gold, on the 3d day of March, 1864, was ?768,-
975,060. The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal
year will be $46,037,126, while thecustorns revenue in gold
for the current fiscal year ending June 30th, 1864. has been
so far at the rate ofover 8100,000,00(1 per annum.
It will be seen that even the prcssnc gold revenues of the
Government are largely in excess of the wants of the
Treasury far the- payment of gold interest, while the re
cent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the annua!
receipts from customs on the same nmonnt of importa
tions. toslso,ooo,t|ofi per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks actingasloan agents
were not issued from the United States Treasury until
March 26, but in the first three weeks of April the sub
script ions averaged more than Ten Millions a VFeek.-
Subscription* will be received by
zVll National banks
wbirhare depositaries of Public moncv. and all
RESPECTABLE BANKS AND BANKERS
throughout the country, (acting as agents of the Nation*!
Depository Banks.) will furnish further information on
application and
