t¥_The arrivals at the Springs are not very nu
merous yet. Among the visitors now or lately there
are Gen. Buell, Mrs. Buell and Miss Mason: Mr.

draft, will be made in Chambersburg on the
6th of July for the purpose of filling the deficiencies
caused by exemptions for causes other than those
caused by paying the commutation or furnishing sub
stitutes.
A NEW POST OFFICE has--been established at New
Paris, in this County, and G. W. Blaekbnrn appoint
ed Post Master. A post office at this place has been
needed for a long time, and we are very glad to re
cord the establishment of one. We hear Mr. Black- ;
burn spoken of as a good man for the place. There i
are a number of other localities in this County where
new post offiices are greatly needed. The New Pari3
post office opens under very favorable auspices we !
think. It starts with eleven new subscribers to the
INQUIRER, all paid iu advance. A good beginning,
which rather naturally draws out our best wishes for
New Paris.
NEW SUBSCRIBERS. —Most of our readers, we be- j
lieve, will be glad to know that our subscription list i
is still increasing very fast. Since our last issue we
have added ninety-five names to onr lists, besides ;
eighty to commence on the 22d of July and continue ;
until the 11th of November. They come from all '
parts of the County, always bringing encouraging ,
words of approval of the INQUIRER. It is not easy i
to distinguish among so many, every where speak- j
ing a good word for the INQUIRER. But we may j
name the following gentlemen who have given in- j
disputable evidence of their purpose of doing what j
they can to extend the circulation and influence of
the INQUIRER. Wm. H. Davis and Geo. W. Black- j
burn, of Union township; A. B. Bunn, ofSchells- I
burg: J. B. Williams, of Bloody Run; G. R. Bara- j
dollar and J. B. Castner, of Woodberry, and Simon j
Nycum, of Rays Hill, have been active in their re- j
spec live neighborhoods in procuring us new subscri- !
hers. We tender them our thanks, and venture the j
hope that they will not be likely to seethe INQUIRER !
"smashed up," with such patronage and good will j
as it is receiving now a day.
COPPERHEAD TUMULT IN LANCASTER. —The Lauras- J
ter Examiner has the following account of the pro- |
eeedings of a set of copperheads at Churchtowu, Lan- j
raster county, lately:
"On Friday night, the 17th inst., a disgraceful as- j
sault was made by a miserable set of Copperheads i
on the Fairville Union Brass Band, while engaged in
playing for the Academy Exhibition. The rioters [
came from the outskirts of the town, and were rein- j
forced bv some drafted Copperheads and whiskey- !
rangers living in the village. After getting up steam j
they started for the Exhibition, where they proved
tbe:r manliness and meanness by assailing a boy,
who was soon relieved by his brother and several j
members of the Band, who thrust the swell-head riot- ]
era out of the room. After having procured another
invoice of tangle-foot whiskev, or as it is called in
that cpuntry, rain-water and potash, they armc-d
themselves with clubs and stones, and attacked
the members of the Band as they were leaving the
the Academy. The latter, however, armed them- !
selves with rundles from the bannisters, and after a j
little sbarp playing on the empty pates of the Cop
perheads made them beat a hasty retreat, and en
deavor to heal their wounded honor and heads by the
free application, outward and inward, of the afore
alladed to whisky."

COPPERHEADS AND REBELS— The Difference. — i
Mr. Editor—A short time ago I was much amused
and also somewhat enlightened in regard to the dif
ference between a Copperhead and a Rebel. A Stirl
ing (?) "democrat" was asked if he could tell the
difference. He, after bracing himself up, thought he
could do it satisfactorily. "A Copperhead is a man,
professing to be a democrat, talks much about the
war, but won't go himself nor encourage others to go.
This is what I call a Copperhead. A Rebel, you
know, is a man that is opposed to Lincoln's admin
i istration." "Is that the difference," asked a by
stander. "Yes." "Well, I differ somewhat with
' you. I think a Copperhead is a man who is a bogus
democrat, having all the instincts of a traitor, but
has not the courage to be a Rebel. A Copperhead
| is worse than a Rebel. A Rebel has courage, but a
Copperhead is a poltroon. Every thing goes wrong J
with such a man. and, while he pretends to be a
/- "uuion he is only waiting for a good opportunity
■ % t>ut to Jeff Davis & Co." Whereupon our
L friend, finding himself nicely photographed, com
menced, in the free use of redundant phrases known
among swearers, to abuse and vilify all about him.—
So much for Copperhead unionism. *
THE DRAFT. Our town has been made very lively
by the daily reporting of the drafted men of the va
rious townships for the last week. The Board com
menced its sessions on last Friday in the Court
House, where it will continue iu sessions until the
entire county has reported. Its laborf have been
unusually severe and trying. On last Saturday one
hundred and ten men were ordered to report and
the claims of all were thoroughly examined. This
was not less than two days work. There appears to
be considerable bitterness manifested by many who
I are compelled to "muster out" the greenbacks or
I don the bines. Although we have occasionally no
[ ticeda most venomous Copperhead "take it" in the
best of spirits, but such are exceptions. It is a
I shame that Bedford County has been compelled
Ito bear this sweeping conscription, when it could
have been avoided without the drafting of a single
individual, had the Democratic Commissioners done
what the Commissioners of eastern counties did.—
A bounty of one hundred and fifty dollars would
have secured for Bedford county nine-tenths of all
the men who left her and were accredited to eastern
eoonties, and these would have filled her quota. The
Commissioners of this connty and their peace at any
Irice friends are solely responsible fpr the draft.
v The Board are making comparatively few exemp
*oos, nevertheless np to this time they have not re
• dooen selcOera in this county. 1

I On motion, the following resolutions were report
ed by C. W. Ashcom, which were unanimously adop
ted :
Resolved, That this Convention, representing the
j sentiments of the Union men of the County of Bed- I
j ford, most cordially approve and reaffirm the resolu- j
| lions adopted by the National Union Party at. Balti- !
i more.
■ Resolved, That the duty of standing bv the coun- 1
! try as long as there is a country to stand by, in the j
| emphatic language of that great and good mar, Rev. j
I Robert Breckinridge; of Kentucky, should i>e con- i
J stantly kept before the miads of the people. If the j
j government should l>e overthrown, all is lost, and it j
i must, therefore, be defended even to the very''gates
j of death."
Resolved , That the nominations made at Baltimore
I were dictated by a pure regard for the best interests J
of the country. Their enthusiastic reception every |
where afford the strongest hope that the wisdom of j
j presenting Lincoln and Johnson, as the Union can- j
didates for President and Vice President, will be |
triumphantly vindicated at the November election.
I To doubt this would be to believe that the blessings !
j of free government, and the blood and sacrifices it j
cost to secure them had been entirely forgotten.
Resolved, That it is amongst the highest duties of j
j the loyal voters at home, to secure to the gallant sol
j diers in the field, now perilling ail in defense of their j
eountrv, the right of suffrage so unjustly withheld j
from them—ana that therefore this convention most j
earnestly urges upon every friend of the soldier the
important duty of attending the polls on the second |
day of August uext, and voting for the amendments i
j to the Constitution, one of whieh is designed to con- j
| fer this inestimable and right.
j Resolved, That we have undiminished confidence J
tin the administration of Gov. A. G. Curtin. His ;
extraordinary and untiring efforts for the relief and |
t comfort of the soldiers, and his unselfish devotion to i
the great cause they are endeavoring to maintain, i
[ have won for him a higher position in the affections I
J of the people and a higher niche in the temple of
fame than any political advancement could possibly
bestow.
Resolved, That the diffusion of correct informa
tion and intelligence through the local-newspapers, I
is one of the best means of securing the success of |
the ticket, and disappointing the schemes of those I
who are striving to subvert the government, and to 1
| this end the Convention earnestly recommend the i
j widest possible circulation of the BEDFORD INQUIRES,
| a paper conducted with marked ability, and looking j
and laboring solely for the triumph of the Union
cause.
_ Resolved, That the Commissioners of Bedford
County, backed up by their copperhead allies, in re
fusing to lay a tax for the payment bounty to volun
-1 teers, whereby Bedford County would have been ex
j cmpted_ from the draft, should meet with the con
demnation of all the friends of the maintaincnce of
this Union in Bedford county.
Rsoleed, That the candidates for Judge, Congress
and the legislature have the power to appoint their
own conferees.
Adopted.

LETTER FROM CAPTAIN EVANS.
BATTLE LIKE, KEAR PETERSBURG, VA., 1
June 22, 1864. /
EDITOR BEDFORD INQUIRER: —
I have no doubt but the friends of the members of
my Company are very anxious to know of our where
abouts and how we are getting along since we have
joined the grand army of the Potomac. Therefore
j I will pen you a few lines which you may insert in
your valuable paper if you think it worth the room.
We landed at Bell Plains, Va., on the 18th of May,
where we remained until the 21st, and then we took
up the line of march for the army of the Potomac,
where we "arrived after six days hard marching, and
joined our Corps (the 2d, 2d Division and 2d Brigade,)
on Sunday evening the 29th of May, and on Mon
day morning we were sent to the front line of battle,
but were only engaged as skirmishers, until Friday
morning the 2d of June, when we were ordered to
charge on the enemy's works at Cold Harbor, which
was done with a good will, but we did not succeed in
carrying the works and were compelled to come to a
halt and entrench ourselves, in order that we could
hold the ground that we had bought so dearly. Ido
not know what our entire loss was at that place, but
it was very heavy for the time engaged. We held
our position at that place until Sunday evening, the
13th inst., (all the time under the fire of the enemy's
sharp shooters and part of the time hi 3 shells,) when
we were ordered to steal out of our works, as we
supposed to take a few days Test, but alas! there was
no rest for the 2d Corps. When we got out of our
works and our "Regiment formed, we got the com
mand forward, to halt on the banks of the James
River on Monday evening the 14th inst. On Tues
day morning we crossed the river and took up the
march for Petersburg, and about eleven o'clock the
same night we found ourselves in the outer works of
the enemy, about two miles from Petersburg. Since
that time we have been under fire all the time, gra
dually cloting in on their inner lines, and we are now
about one mile from the city, with a very strong line
of works in our front.
I will append a list of the killed, wounded and
missing so that the frienda of the unfortunate may
know fomethiug of their loved one, who gre battling
for freedom and right. The heulih of the troops, as u
general thing, is very good, and all seem to be in good
spirits. My company numbers 46 men for duty.
KILLED. —Marinas Mock, David R. Snowden.
WOUXDED, —Win. Y eater. Simon 8. Lutz, John
Whitman, James Potter. C. W. Johnston, John F.
Cook, Geo. W. Beighard, George Bowers, John G.
Stephens. Levi Berkhimer, John Hagan. Thomas
Snowherger. Geo. D. Brown, Michael H. Price,
Sergt. Robert M. Skillington, Corp. David Barnet.
MISSING. —Josiah NT. Smith.

* * * Lieut. Jack Porter of the 55th, took
dinner with me yesterday, he just happened to call around
about the time my cook had finished up cooking a nice
moss of boiled beef and potatoes; he thought we knew how
to live in campaign better than they did. They are just
like uew troops, at this kind of roughing it out. After
dinner I went down with porter to seethe hoys of the 55tb,
they lay about five hundred yards from here, or did the
last few days. I expect they have left this morning, as
they were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to move
at any time. I knew but few I saw in that regiment. I
saw Capts. Living don and Metzgar, they wcra well
but think this kind of service u little harder than South
Carolina sertice. They told me they had no change of
clothing for fifteen days. I told them (which is the case)
that I had not changed my shirt, drawers and stookings
since the first day of May They came to the conclusion
not to say anything about their change of clothing. This
is a trying time hero, you can see wounded men being
carried to the rear continually. Our regiment was re
lieved from the frout line yesterday morning where we
hail been for twenty-four hours. We lay in four lines of
battle, and yesterday we lay in rear line but expect to
move forward to relieve another regiment this morning.—
There is nearly as many men killed and wounded in rear
fine of earthworks as in front. I had a man, Noah Alli
son, mortally wonnded, day before yesterday, he died yes
terday. lie is the son of John Allison who lives in the
rear of Dubbstown, back towards the mountains. We are
now, they say, within five miles, air line, from Richmond.
I think myself'tis further. We have the ground all dug
up with entrenchments, hut the sharpshooters pick us off
very fast. E. B. Stuckey was just this minute lying a
slecp, and minnie bali strnek within a foot of tini. and
bounced over him. He says, "it may be a couple of days
before one comes that close to him again." The boys are
j all in good spirits and think, '-conquer we must." I look
on many things here with wander and amazement. 1 see
men have their most intimate friends shot down, and in
a few minutes, after they arc sent out of thoir sight
they are laughing aud joking again as usual.
I yesterday made out a fist of killed, wounded and mis
sing in my Company up to date. Since this campaign
| commenced twenty-three is the number. Three of which
J are dead, that I know of now, and I think some of the
missing men are dead. Thus. Kurtz and Wilson Stuckey,
are back somewhere with the trains.
Yesterday there was a fug of trace hoisted. Ido not
| know who hoisted "it first, or what the object of it was, but
I 1 do know that hostilities were stopped for one half an
hour in front of the 2nd and qd Divisions of our Corps.—
While the hirst Division immediately on the left of our
j Division were engaging the enemy, at the same time a
j considerable portion of ouriuen and the Johnnies threw
! off their armor and mot haif-way between the two lines,
j shook hands, exchanged papers, and traded hard tack for
! tobacco. One Rob sharpshooter, up towards our First
Division, still kept shooting down towards the parties
j that hail so met, when one of the Rebels made the remark,
I ''that was some d df 1 Rebel shooting down here
j that had no sense." When the half hour arrived the Stars
i and Stripes were hoisted and yon ought to have seen thein
j split for their, lines; but three of the Johnnies forgot j
| which side they were on ; they slipped around, got over '
here and would not return to Uieir former friends, f never j
j in my life saw a gladder set of fellows than & lot of North j
j Carolinians were, that we charged upoD on the afternoon 1
of the 18th of May, and took them prisoners. We charged j
| up to their works, they threw down their arni3 and called '
| t< ua not to shoot them, and they ju rf t came tumbling over !
I the works like bee*, and they would hollow to rur boys— j
j "Where is the rear? Where is the rear?" "Don't you |
j want some tobacco, boys ?" "No," says the boys, "wc j
went trouble you about your tobacco now, but we'll take !
some of it after this i 3 over, get back to the rear Johnnies. J
I Keep a little to the right, the balls don't fly so thick there, j
I get back ! get back !" our fellows would say to tbcin, and i
| I tell you they did get back as fast as their heels couid
| take them, where the Provost Guard would gather them
|up and take them to headquarters. I remain very trulv,

how's treatment of the worst diseases to which horses are j

[From tho Era.]
No one with the least equine knowledge can Teqniro to

lias undertaken, and most satisfactorily aeeompHfhed.—
His high reputation in the veterinary art, and his qualifi
cations as a practiced writer on domestic animals, render
him the very person for supplying an intelligent and ijn
tcresting work on the diseases of the horse,"which would
be devoid of mere professional localities, while, at the!

witty observer df life, enabled him to illustrate with his j
pencil what he had written with his pen. We advisedly
