To the Editor of the Bedford Inquirer: DEAB Sia —Thomas G. Wright and his two sons, while mowing a meadow last week, killed in St. Clair Twp. 117 copperhead snakes, old and young. Pleasantville, Aug. 5, 1864. St. Clair has long enjoyed a bad fame for its ven omous copperheads, and we hope this, wholesale slaughter, is an omen that indicates a more sweeping destruction in October and November next THE NORMAL SCHOOL opened Monday last. The attendance is larger than last year, notwithstanding the unsettled condition our county has been in for the past few weeks, from apprehensions of rabel raids. Sixty were present on Tuesday, about double the number in attendance the second day last year- We dropped in on Wednesday, and found; the exer cises very interesting. The instructors were clear, pretty thorough, aiyi spirited in their manner of cop ducting the recitations. The pupils were ail atten tion, and appeared as though they had come to make the best use of their time. THE fears of a rebel raid are over for the present, Last Friday and Saturday there was some commotion. The merchants of Bloody Run removed most of their stock. And some of the hotel keepers in this place emptied out their cellars, and if they stay emptied we don't believe the community will suffer much detriment. Business is resumed and affairs move on as usual. A number of arrests of persons, charged wkh being spies, have been made within a week- Our county has been visited —lately by a great maiyr "suspicious" persons, who were without doubt em issaries of J. Davis. A fact suggestive of their neighborly intentions to follow up the visit in force. m WHAT THE COPPERHEADS THIXX OF IT. —A subacri ber at Coildale writes among other things, that, ''The other day I was somewhat amused at the remarks ot some of the Copperheads of this townsphip. A few of the leaders were assembled together and were amusing themselves very much alxiut (he new paper to be started in Bedford. They thought it would be a great hurt to the success of the Union party, and would add greatly to the Copperhead party," 4c., Ac. If anybody doubts, what the 'party' spoken of above, expects to accomplish by the "new paper," let them take notice of the public printing they are already giving to it. Wko believes they will build up and sustain a paper that will add strengih to the Union cause ? APOLOGETIC. —The illness of three of our hands i daring part of the last two weeks, has made it impossible to get our paper out in time for all the mails* We have ail worked early and late in order to prevent a failure. We are fully alive to the iinpor- j tance of always being up to time, and neglect nothing j that we can Jo to accomplish it We have had dif- j eahics to encounter in organizing and putting in j working order our office. Our subscribers will be I glad to know that we have overcome some of these | difficulties. Within three months three new appreu- ! tices in our office have learned to become quite ex- i pert find correct type setters, they can now be de- j pended on for doing more and better work, than boys : their years and experience usually do. Our edition is now so large (1200) that the press-work is a very serious difficulty to overcome. Our press has not worked well and it has taken more than three days in the week, to run off both sides of the Ixqciqim. We have ouiselflearned to do prass-work and can i now in an "emergency 'do very good pressing.— J Week before last we did the press work for more than half of our edition. In a very short time, we expect the press difficulty will be removed. In the meantime, until the cylinder power press'oomes, as our force is now pretty strong, we hope our sub scribers will have no occasion for disappointment in the regular receipt of their paper. Official Returns ot the Special Election of Tuesday. From the returns below, it looks as though the people of Bedford County are making tip their minds that de mocracy, a* it exists here, is a sham and a delusion. It is a step, and an important one, in the great political revolu tion going on over the country. If the people of this eounty are influenced by oonvictlons, they will not rest aatil they have effectually broken the thraldom of the spurious democracy. t*j> h->.

Vols, CAMP NEAR PETERSBCRG, Va., > July, 31st, 1864, £ Mr. Editor: —Having a few leisure moments 1 shall employ tliem in giving you a short account of our few last days proceedings. On the 2bth we received orders to move, and by live P. M., our corps was in motion, moving rapidly ip the direction of Point of Hooks, on the James River. We arrived there by daylight in the morn ing, crossed to the north side and halted for a short time. Soon the 'J9th Eegt. P- V., and ours were sent forward and deployed as skirmishers. Shots were exchanged on our extreme right and in a few minutes the tiring beuamq. general along the ontire line. The enemy were strongly posted in the edge of Wga woods, their line running parallel wi;h a road where they had a bat Wry of four 20 pound Parrott guns posted. On OR* left they had works thrown up. and just in our frout the road was just sunken enough to afford them ample protection from our musketry. Companies A, B, C, and D, were deployed to the right ot the 09th, and there it was that the Loss wag the heaviest. I will furnish you a list of the casualties in Com pany C. Sergt. Ambrose K. Taylor, and George W. Maxwell, killed. Lieut. Chas. Copelin, Sergt. James C. Bellj John N. Davis, Daniel 11. Bowman, John Lock man, Jacob Meminger, John At well, Geo. Bard, Jonathan Satten, Samuel H. Smith, and JRS. Irwir, wounded. Companies A and B. Jost heavi ly. Co. B lost three Sergeants killed. I am un able to furnish a list of all the casualties of this regi ment. On the night of the 28th we recrossed the James, and marched back to the front of Petersburg, where we arrived by daylight and lay in the hot sun until evening, when the Third Division (ours) relieved a division in front. Our regiment was posted on Col onel Ohave's plantation. The rebels shelled us al most all the time during our stay, but luckily no one was hurt belonging o the regiment. On the morn ing of the 29th, General Burnside's Corps made a charge to our left. Some of the Fifth Corps had un dermined one of the rebel forts and it was blown up as a signal for opening the ball. In a few minutas the artillery and mortars were engaged along our en tire line. Toward noon the firing somewhat ceased and bv evcaiug everything was as quiet as usual. After dark we were releived frtgai the front and moved to the rear into our former camp. We expect to be paid in a few days, if nothing unforscen should in tervene. We have not had any rain for some time, and the weather is very warm. SAUCED B. SCUWAKTZ, Co. C, 110 th ItegL P. V. Abut ofthb Potomac, Near Pbtemrmcbo, Va., \ July 7th, 164. j Dear Editor : —Perhaps a few lines from this part of the field of mars may not be unwelcome to your numerous readers. The citizens of your quiet town, no doubt, look anxiously for news from their numerous friends in the army. For more than two months this Army of the Potomac has been very bueily engaged. Marching and fighting has been our daily occupation, since crossing the Rapidan. Per haps never in the memory of man have so many events, fraught with so much interest, transpired ih so brief a period of time. The sound of cannon, or j the rattle of small arms has greeted our ears almost ; daily. While our infantry have been weaving gar lands for their brows, the cavalry corps haven't been idle. The graves of their dead, mark their pathway from the Rapidan to within one and a half miles of that city around which so much interest is now con centrated. Having ftiß confidence in their gallant leader, Sheridan, they consider themselves almost invincible and licensed to go where they will. They have become a terror to ''Southern Railroads,'' and Hampton and Fits Lee have learned to their cost, that "S'lwridan's Raiders" know how to tight as well as raid. After participating in the battles of the wildernes for several days after crossing the Rapi dan, this Corps turned the right of Lee's army, and after burning his supplies, tearing up his railroads, aad cutting his communication.--, on the Pith of May, we found ourselves 14 miles from Richmond, and inside the first line of fortifications around the city. The rebel cavalry disputed every step of our way, and when at Richmond they met our advance at Yel low Tavern, while their infantry pitched into our Division (Gregg's) in the rear, and while yet inside their fortifications, our gallant First Division charged and routed them on the advance, while Gen. Gregg politely informed them that he bad no objections to permitting the citizens of Richmond to hear the music of his cannon, and that he would take bis own time in leaving their fortifications. The rebel General Stuart fell. For awhile the "Johnies" were on all sides of us, right and left, front and rear, their iron hail, shot and shell, came whistling around our ears like rain Many of our comrade, were left be hind, or found graves around the rebel city. From Richmond wo wended our way to the Peninsula, and crossing the Chickahominy and Pamunkey, rejoined the army near Hanover. Remaining with the army sometime, we were engaged in the several fights and skirmishes on the Peninsula, until the Bth or 9th of June, whoo our First and Second Divisions started on a raid towards Gordonyville, en route, for the Richmond papers said "no ono knew where." Near Lousia Conrt House, the whole rebel cavalry corps attacked us, whom we repulsed after a sevare en. gagement. Tearing up the railroad for several miles we returned to the White House, where we found awaiting us a large wagon train, which we were to escort to the James, no easy task, in the then exist ing state of affairs. The entire cavalry force were hovering around it lite hungry vultures. By fight ing and mannveoring the train was brought to with in a few miles of the James River, and Charles City Court House. On Friday, June 24th, the First Di vision taking the advance, the Second, Gen. Gregg's, was to hold the only remaining road which led to Richmond. A few miles from the train we met the enemy apparently in heavy force. For some time neither party made any demonstration, when the, rebels learning that only one Division opposed thein, attacked us with their whole cavalry corps. Thpn followed one of the severest cavalry fights, said to have ever been experienced by any portion of this corps. Charge upon charge was given and received, though four times our number they were hurled back with terrible slaughter. For two hours the contest raged, until out-numbered, overpowered , and flank ed right and left, our Division for the first time we believe, since its existence, was forced to retire, dis puting with our force, every foot of ground we trod. A few days sufficed to transport train and corps to the southern banks of the James river. Engaged in active operations a few days, we have gone fn,to camp to rest our faithful, but weary horses. Though we expect to rest but a very few days, men and horses will again be ready for the saddle and the march when the Bugle calls- The weather has been very warm for some time and the dost in field and road is almost suffocating. From *ll appear ances this army have not yet finished their summers campaign, bat have yet deeds to perform, which will be celebrated in story' and in song, long after tbe ac tors have passed from earth. Victory is now hover ing around our starry banners, and. we believe that under our gallant ieader, Gen. Grant, complete and triumphant success will eventually reward all our ef forts and toil. \\ e hope that Pennsylvania and Maryland way not again lw polluted by the rebel horde, as now threatened. Trusting to your kind nes ftp- forgiveness fo r this intrusion, i aw, Very respectfhlly, your old't servt. So. D. FtIGBTK, JLcr; LIST OF GRAND JURORS FOR AUGUST TERM, STIi MONDAY, 29TH DAY A.

Subscribers to Ibis loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the ' accrued interest in coin —(or in United States notes, or j the notes of National adding fifty per cent for pre- j uiium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of < subscription and deposit.. As these Bonds arc Exempt l'rora .Municipal or State Taxation, ; their value is increased from one to three per cent per on \ ttaiu, 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 induce ments to lenders as the various descriptions, of C. S. H mds. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith and ability of private parties or stock companies or separate communities only b pledged for payment l while for the debt? of fhe United States the whole property of the coun try Is hoMeuVt .-.-cure the payment f both-principle and interest in coin. These Bonds may be subscribed for in from S6O up tn any magnitade, on the same terras, and are thus made equally available to the smallest leader aud th* longest capitalist. They ean be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have th* benefit of thf interest. It may b$ useful to state in this connection that the to tal Funded debt ofthe United States on which interest is payable in gold, ot the 3d day of March, 1564, wa? $768,- 975,0<0. Th? inttrest on this debt for the coming fiscal year will be $45,93M26, while thecustoms revenue in gold fur tiro current fisctl year ending Jane 30th, 1864, has been so far at the rate of over $100,000,000 per annum. It will 1* seen that even the present gold revenue# of the Government are lirgely in excess of the wants of the Treasury for the jayment of gold interest, while the re cent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from custtms on the same amount of importa tions. t05150,000.100 per annum- Instructions to the National Banks acting as loan agents were not issued from the United States Treasury fin til March M. but in (he first three weeks of April the sub scriptions averaged more than Ten Millions n Week.

JACOB BRQQtf, Philadelphia, Oct. Tib, 1886. Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the effect produced by the qs of Ilqofland's German Bitters, in my family, I havo no he.-itatien in saying that it has been highly beneficial. In one instance, a case of dyspepsia f thirteen years standing, and which had become very dis tressing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, the sec ond effecting 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 I find it o be an uxoqualled tonie, and sincerely recommend iw use to th* sufferers. Truly yours, JACOB BROOM. 1707 Spruce fit. Rer. W. D.Seigfried. Pastor of 12th Baptist Church, Philadelphia, December 26tb, 1863. Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen:—l have recently been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of tha nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended hy friends, and some of them tested, but without relief. Your Hoofiand's German Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters induced me also to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to lie to palpi off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the community, in a sly way; and the tendency of which, I fear, -is to make many a confirmed drunkard. I'pop learning that yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with happy effect. Its action was pot upon only the stomach, 1 but upon the nervous system, was propipt and gratifying. 1 feel that I have derived great and permanent benefit from the use of a few bottles. Ycrv respectfully vours, AV. D. SEIG*FRIED, No. 234 Shack&maxon St. From th* Rev. Thos. Winter, D. D„ Pastor of Box bor ough Baptist Church.
