"lIEMOCRATiC MASS MEETING.** The following is extracted from the call, in the (razctle of last, week, for a "Democratic Mass Meeting" to be held in the Court lipase Monday eveuiug 27th inst. " it is im port ant to open the meeting in the light spirit, to not only assert the rights that God and the Constitution "have given us, hut determine to maintain them; and in this connection let the pimps ot the present administration iu this community and elsewhere know that their acts of outrage on law and order, iu illegal arrests, unlawful seizures of property, intimidating threats. &c., shall not be done with safety to themselves, nor their own pro perty." The call from which the above is an extract is signed by 0. E. Shannon, Chairman Co. Commit tee. "It is important to opeu the campaign in the right spirit." D'es the writer of the call know the meaning of language? Does he realize the true construction of his own words? Is it con ceivable that a man professing to '"assert the rights that trW and the Constitution have given us can wittingly hold the sentiments set forth in the above extract? "'The right spirit!" Read the extract again and discern the "spirit ol it. Is there a sentence that breathes the spirit of right and justice and regard for law and order. Is there a thought in it that, breathes a true love of country? Is it the language of conciliation and forbearance? Is it the language of peace? Is it bv such appeals that "the hearts of the people" are to be roused for "law and order?" Will such appeals tend to briug about the "era of good feeling'' that is to restore peace to our afflicted country? Or lia.- the call we have cited no real significance ? Is it only the aimless railing of a shallow, unreflecting man? Is it only idle vaunting to keep up the spirits of a crumbling, weak, rotten and discom fited party? Has the ancient and once honored democracy so fallen from its enviable prerogative of conservator of true liberty, that it should be urged by its leaders with inflamatory appeals to inaugurate anarchy and bloodshed in our midst? — Has itcouie to this that men professing a love of country are exciting their fellows to reckless vio lence and bloodshed ? Are these the men that are making the heavens resound with their lamenta tions and clamors for peace ? What a eommen tar.'isthis "Deuuc atr# call"' ontLe folly and re k lessness and demagogueism of the men who con coctel it! VALLANDIGHAM IN PENNSYLVANIA. The allies of the rebels in this State, alia* the spurious, rotten and corrupt Democracy, have in vited 0. L. Yallandigham. an abettor of treason, and an enemy of liberty, to visit this State. The the allies of the rebels alius the rotten Democracy, have invited this man. fresh from the councils of open and avowed traitors, to instruct them in their duties to their country. The Lancaster Examiner says he is invited to lecture before the Democrats, alias the allies of the rebels in Lancaster, the 17th ■of nest September. The object in bringing this man into this State, is to defy public opinisn, and aid the cause of treason and reliellion. There is an order of uien styling themselves the "Sons of Liberty," but in reality "Knights of the Golden Circle." Yallandigham is the supreme commander of the order, lie comes here to give aid to the rebel cause by organizing the" Sons of Liberty," tdias K. G. 0. These "Sous of Liberty claim to be an q >en and lawful organization, but are really a band of sworn enemies of our Government. In some parts, they are only "Democratic clubs." The organization is semi-military, and its ob ject the aid of the C'onfedcs-ate States iu establish ing their Confederacy, and then, the establishment of a new Confederacy iu tho North-West. (>f this traitorous organisation, Yallandigham is the head, and, therefore, there is no doubt, that his visits and peregrinations through the Middle and Western States at this time, is to fully organize and pat iu working order the unlawful and sedi tious organization of which he is the constituted and reorganized head. Our readers will l>ear in mind the existence of this secret, oath-bound organization, has long been known, and has even been the subject of judicial investigation in many of the Northern Stales, Pennsylvania included. In Indiana and Illinois it has been particularly prominent, its members going to the extreme length of resisting by force of arms tho authority of the General Government. The exposures which are now being given to the public of plottirigs for a further dismemberment, of the Union, are not mere newspaper sensation stories, but proofs secured by regular officers of the government, such as the Provost Marshal Gen era! of Missouri, and General Carrington, of In diana. The idea of a North-Western Confederacy is no novelty. It has long been a favorite threat of Democratic leaders of the Yallandigliam stamp, that "New England should be left out in thecold, and that a re-orgauization of the government should take place." That this organization is then extending its membership by means of its secret "clubs," "lod ges" and "circles," is manifest, and it concerns every union man, every well-wisher of his country, every lover of free institutions, to at once take a bold and determined stand against these secret in triguers who are plotting the destruction of the only free government on earth. To the end that our readers may see the object and scope of this treasonable organization,of which Clement L YaMindigham is the head, we qnotea few extracts from the comtitution and laws of the order, as lately auade public, by the commission appointed by Gov. Morton of Indiana : Section 1, of Article Ist of the Constitution de clares tliat the Order is "Both aril and milUwrtf. In its first relrat.su, it declares principles of ethics and politics fucllenp tion and dissemination that are hostile to thGov ernment of the United States. In the latter re lation, it awumcs to organize armies for 'actua service" in support of thr-s? treating -h; Uultf J State* Government as their ei*ma, and that of the rebellion as their friend. 2d. It is nicrel and wtth-bound. 3(1. It is despotic and absolute. The penalrr of disobedience to its officers is unlimited, includ ing the death penalty itself. The principles of the Order are Ist. Absolute, inherent State sovereignty. 2d. The Co ion of the States as but voluntary and temporary, arid revocable at the will of any individual State, so far as concerns that State. 3d. Denies to the General Government the pow er to enforce its laws, if it be the choice of a State to reject them. 4th. Recognizes the existing rebellion as legiti- • mate, legal and just. ">th. Holds revolution against the resent Gov ernment as not only :i right but a duty. Pth. Holds obligations to the order as para mount to those due a single State, or the United j States. 7th. Declares its purpose, to stop this war, treat with the rebels, anu make a treaty based upon the recognition of grades of civilization and race. Bth. Declares a law of races, one of Caucasian supremacy and one of African servitude. 9th. Pledges crusade in favor ol all peoples attempting establish new governments of their choice as against existing rulers or authorities. 10th. Accepts the creed of the rebellion, its lo gic, its plans and its principles, as the nominal the ory of Democracy, and its own bond of coherence and ultimate success. The wain purpose of the Order is politicaiji o<c €,- by rxiox WITH THE SOUTH, regardless of aen or measures. Through the success of the Cliieag nomiuecs i'or President and Vice President, they hope to secure this power. This failing, open re bellion in ihe North against the general governo uient will be inaugurated. To the above declaration of principles every member of the organization is bound by the most blasphemous of oaths, and voluntarily swears to be governed entirely in his voting and in h\ i fight ing by the decrees of the society. Men of Bedford County you have this oath bound. treasonable organization in your midst ex tending, we have good reason to believe, through out the county. Forewarned is forearmed. Be on your guard theu. Do not allow yourselves to be entrapped by these vile workers of their coun try's ruin. Look with suspicion upon every man who denounces the government and invokes a dis honorable peace. Above all, avoid membership with any so-called "Democratic club," ibr be as sured that by so doing you escape from the deg redation to which Yullandigham and company would drag you down. In the Pennsylvania Seriate on Friday 12th nu merous petitions from townships and hi ■roughs, in reference to bounties, were presented. The Gov ernor's vetoes of the Petroleum and Venaigo Hanks were sustained. The resolutions relative to the lKTth Regiment wore passed. A number of township bounty bills were introduced. Also, an act regula ting elections by soldiers iu active service. In the House of Representatives, Mr. AVatson, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill authorizing a loan not exceeding throe million dollars, payable after three years: authorizing the ap pointment of a major and two brigadier generals; providing for the organization of fifteen reserved reg iments for three years' service, liable to be tailed into the State service at any time, and authorizing the Governor to make an immediate enrollment of the militia, and draft the fifteen regiments ifnecessa ry. Ordered to lie printed. The Governer's veto of the bill authorizing the city of Philadelphia to make general taxes ou stocks, loans, &c., was receiv edj also the veto of the act incorporating the Mutual Ciairn and Collection Comtnertial Agency. A num ber ol*bills were introduced. Several bills which had been recalled from the Governer were amended and passed. Adjourned until Monday afternoon. Gzs. KKLI.KY. —The W heeling Intelligencer says that "'the President has conferred a brevet General ship on Geo. lvelley in reward for his gallant and effi cient defence of Cumberland and New Crock, and his continued, steadfast, every day watchfulness and zeal as an officer over the interests committed to his charge." A large and enthusiastic meeting ol'the citizens of Cumberland was held on Thursday last and resolu' lions returning tlianks to Gen. Keller and his com mand for his successful defence of that eity were ad doptcd. A resolution was also addopted requesting Gen. Kelley to send all the Rebel sympathizers in Cumberland and vicinity outside the Union lines. A War Democrat on the "Democratic Call.*' MR. EDITOR :—ln the last number of the Bed ford Gazette , I observe a card from O. E. Shan non, who signs himself Chairman of the Demo cratic County Committee, calling a Democratic meeting tor August Court. In this card he styles those who support the Administration of the Na tional Government "pimps" and says their acts shall 'not !>e done with safety to themselves nor their'own property." For myself, I hare long ago learned not to im pugn other persons motives. Men who radically differ from nie as to matters of Religion, Gover nmental policy, or business may be honest. And feeling thus, I would tolerate those whom I regard as secession sympathizers and quasi rebels of this community, and 1 would willingly see the Govern ment let them alone in their infamy, although they do of late venture to obtrude offensively their treason on honest men in nlaees of public resort. But, sir, when the'r impudence and insolence as sumes the shape of a threat to destroy property and life. I think they should be treated with defi ance, even though they really intend what they threaten. For one I would have Mr. Shannon and those whom he undertakes to represent, know that I am ready to meet him and them in defence of inv person and property. Whilst I do not support this Administration in its emancipation policy and did not vote for Abra ham Lincoln, I do cordially support any effort to put down by force of anus this unjustifiable re bellion to subvert the Government of our fathers and divide the Union. And I would now rather vote for Abraham Lincoln than lor a Democrat of the Vall&ndigham school, who would agree to rec ognize the southern confederacy and see us a di vided and degraded nation. And if Mr. Shannon and hi* conferees of the County Committee desires to inaugurate a war at home, much a* I deprieate it and would eon cede to avoid it, I would have them know that this is done not from personal cowardice. It is only by a magnamity, that they have not the man hood* to recognize or appreciate, that they have been thus long tolerated in their course of sympa thy with treason. And when they choose to be gin their attack against the '"persons and the prop erty" of those who are opposed to the rebellion, j and desire to see it crushed, I hope thev will at least give some hours notice and make the attack in daylight. If the reverse should be the case I will depend on roy dogs to give me the alarm: and by daylight or after night Mr. Shannon and the County Committee may rely upon whatever defence I am able to make against a scoundrelly and dastardly attack as infamous as the burning of Ohaiabersburg, an act I am told they justly or at least extenuate. A WAR DEMOCRAT. WAR ITEMS. ~ Hie details of the progress mada by General Sully's expedition to July 11, have been received at St. Paul.— At that time the main body of the troops wero near Fort Itioe, Raeotah. The expedition reached the mouth of Long lathe Creek .on the Sth and part of the First Brig ade was crossed to the west side of the Missouri on the 9th ; the remainder was crossed over on the next day.— The Second Brigade or Minnesota Division, under Colo nel Thomas, was then on the opposite or eastern bank, but was preporißg to cross.

Fort Gaines was occupied by our forces, Fort Morgan still helu out. Its capture is, however, a certainty, as our fleet commands the san.l spit in which it is located, and the landing of a force, doubtless accomplished before this, will cut it en tirely ofl' from all communication with the city. The New Orleans accounts state Unit it was Admiral Farragul s intention to at once move on Mobile and feudeavor to force tho obstructions at Bog river bar. Admiral Buch anan and tlic other prisoners captured, had been sent to I'ens.icolc. Four refugees and rebel deserters arrived ut Washing ton on Saturday. We have some statements in regard to the state of matters in and around Richmond, whii-h, if they can be considered trustworthy, show how effect ually the rebels manage to conceal their weakness at headouartcrs. These refugees sav that there are no males, men or boys, in Richmond, exept those in govern ment employ. The men are nearly all in the army, even to the old men over 06, who form the militia of the State. One of this party worked on Belle Island, and states that when he leit there were but live Federal prisoners there, the bthers having all been South, to Georgia. There are but few Federal prisouasi in Libby; in faet, none but he sick and wounded ure kept there over a few days af ter reception. At the time the Itanv.lle Railroad was cut, our prisoners were mado to walk on foot some seventy miles l*i'orc they lock the railroad, and the>e men hoard the guards when they returned say that many gave out and died on the road.

[From tlu) X. I*. £jc<tt.uner.] The T- SO (•overuineut tuan. Many of the advantages of this loan arc appar ent on their face, but there are others that will be best understood after consideration. Among them there are, ITS ABSOLUTE SJSCUBITT.— Nearly nil active credits are now based on Government securities. — Banks of issue and Savings banks hold theui in large quantities—iu many cases, more than the entire amount of their capitals—and they hold them as the very best aad strongest investment they could possibly make. If it were possible to contemplate the liuaocial failure of the Govern ment, 110 bank would lie any better or safer. — Savings Banks already have a large part of their assets invested in Government securities. As a role they allow but five per cent interest, and can only pay principal or interest in greenbacks or bills of State Banks, —for every note or bond held by them and due before the resumption of specie payments is payable in Government legal tender paper. Banks of issue aud discount can mot ask or get anything better in payment of customers' notes, and they prefer it to all other, for they are compelled to redeem their own notes in that paper as the circulating medium next to specie in value. By the issue of this loan the U. S. Treasury bo comes a Savings bank for the people. There are none stronger —none more solvent, aud not one that pays so liberally for the use of money.— You may deposit fifty dollars or fifty thousand. — The more you put in, the more you will aid and strengthen the Govenment, and the more valua ble will be the remaining currency of the country. ITS LIBERAL INTEREST.—The general rate of interest is six percent., payable annually. This is seven and three-tenths, payable semi-annually• If you lend on mortgage, there must be a search ing of titles, lawyers' fees, stamp duties and delays, and you will finally have returned to you only the same kind of money you would receive from the Government, and less of it. If you invest in this loan, you have no trouble. If there is no Nation al bank at band, any bauker will obtain it for you without charge, and pav you the interest coupon at the end of six mouths as a most convenient form of remittance to his city correspondent.— If you wish to borrow ninety cents on the dollar upon it, you have the highest security in the mar ket to do it with. If you wish to sell, it will bring within a fraction of cost and interest at any moment. It will be very handy to have in the house. ITS CONVERTIBILITY INTO A SIX PER CENT. BOND. —Here comes an advantage that must not tie lost sight of. At the expiration of three years a holder of the notes of the 7-30 loan has the op tion o f accepting payment in full,or of funding his notes in a six per cent, gold interest bond, the principal payable in not less than five nor more than twenty years from its date as the Govern ment may elect. For six months past, these bonds lave ranged at an average premium of about eight per cent, in the New York Market and have sold at 109 to-day (July 28). Before the war U. S. six per cent, stocks sold at a much higher rate —and were once bought up by the L'. S. Treasury under special act of Congress at a premium of not less than twenty per cent There is no doubt that this option of conversion is worth at least two or three per cent, per anmu to the swbseriher to the loan, thuß increasing the actual rate of interest to about ten per cent. Notes of the same class is sued three years ago, arc now selling at a premi um that fully proves the correctness of this state ment. ITS EXEMPTION FROM STATE OR MUNICIPAL TAXATION. —But aside from all the advantages we have enumerated, a spwial Act of Congress ex empts all bonds and Treasury note* from local tax ation. On the average this exemption is worth about two per cent, per annum, according to the rate of taxation in various parts of the country.— Can greater inducements be asked for than those we have enumerated ? The Secretary of the Treasury has been told that he must I 'buy money at the highest rate ne cessary to command itthat he should sell his ob ligations "for what they would bring," so as to lend the market: bat the Secretary will do no >uch uaiig. if dtyloek nought Louts at yu m .August, he would demand a concession of another ten per cent, in September, and twenty in Octo ber, until he would finally offer to lend only the interest and keep the principal. It' Government securities arc worth anything, they are richly worth all their face calls for in gold, and the coun try is not so ]K>or in spirit or iu purse as to submit to any such sacrifice as Shylock demand*. There is but a limited supply of money seeking invest ment at any time, and the Government offers to pay* liberaliv for its u.-e. At the rate of seven and three-tenths per cent, per anum. to sav nothing of the collateral advautages, it is the strongest borrower in ,tlie market, and every feeling of inter est. as well as patriotism and duty, should induce our readers to invest in its loans.

'flic people of our town and Cove, have been under the most intense excitement and anxiety, for the pas: two weeks, by reason of the visit and continued close proximity of the ltebeis. After. M'Clanslend had burned I Chambers burg, hjs corn man 1 moved West, uii the Chauioersburg and Bedford turnpike, entering our town about three o'clock on Saturday, the ,10th ult. They niuu-; bered about .'UKKI, encamped here over night, and took up their line of march on Sunday morning for Hancock. Gen. Avcrill was dose on his rear Sunday morning, his pickets driving the reliels , from the mountain, and harrassing him through our valley. Soon after the rebels entered town on Saturday afternoon, they commenced plundering the stores, pilluging private houses, anil robbing citizens. — They first demanded the key of Dr. Duffield's Drug Store, which was given, to prevent them breaking open the door. Not content with tak ing what they choose, they emptied the contents of drawers, jars, cases. &c., on the floor, in a heterogenous mass. Private papers, accounts, and 1 >ooks shared the same late. The stores of J. W. Greathead, Cahili A Thompson.Hoke & Nace. and the Messrs. Shoemakers, were also visited and received the same treatment. The greater portion of the dry goods had been restored, frout the .store of Hoke A Naa>—which caused no little cursuig and swearing among the Chivalry—as they exjK* fed to reap a harvest from this establishment. The losses of Or. Duffield, W. <lreathead. Cahill & Thomnson, and A. & I). Shoemaker, were very considerable. Most of the jTivate houses in town were pillagedof clothes —and many citizens were stripped and robbed in the streets and roads. Money was demanded from every one, the demand being accompanied in most cases with threats of burning, or a cock ed revolver in close proximity with the head. The farmers in our valley were severe loosers. Squads of rebels scouted the Cove, visiting nearly every house, stealing money, clothes, women's ap parel, jewelry-trinkets, Ac. A demand was made on the town for 2600 rations, which was supplied as far as the citizens were aide, as we were inform ed, a non-compliance would insure the burning of our town. Indeed, it is now eonfj/leuliy believed, the destruction of this place was determined on and would have been accomplished, had not Aver ili been so near on Sunday morning. In all our intercourse with rebels last summer, we neter met any, so utterly depraved, so reck less, so desperate, as were a portion of those who were with M'Clauslaml here week hefore last. The Campaign. Gen Grunt has made a new movement in the direction of .Richmond, of the importance of which, and the results obtained, we are yet but par.ially informed. The movement was initiated by a feint to deceive the enemy. The Second Corps was [ 1 teed on board transports, and started down the river, as if they were u be transferred to some other scene of operations. After night they were again tarried up the river, and landed n " the nortn side of the James, above Bermuda Hundred. At the same time the Tenth Corps was thrown across from Gen. Butler's position, and the whole force thus assembled moved from Beep Bottom on the Rebel position, near Dutch Gap. The movement, according to unofficial ac counts, is said to have been successful, resulting in the capture of five hunirei prisore -aanci sever pieces of artillery, besides giving ns possession of a strong position within two miles of Fort Dar ling, and only nine miles from Richmond. One object of the movement is stated to be the de struction of the Rebel poßtoon bridge, thus forc ing the enemy to prolong his line of communica tion between the two banks of the river. Its more immediate and important purpose we pre sumeis to protect our working parties and insure the completion of the eanal which General Butler is iptting across Farrar s islaud of Dutch Gap.— This canal will tie less than two hundred vards long, and its opening will cut off seven miles of navigation, and it is said, avoid the obstructions in the river. The Richmond papers admit the feasibility of the canal though they deny its im portanee as a military movement,— Baltimore 1 American Wednesday mining Aufi. 17. , THE WAR FOR THE UNION.

The Ilr.i'abts (Cumberland, .Maryland) corres pondent, under date of the loth, says that the Rebels have all left that section except .McNeill's robbers. It has been ascertained that MeCaus land intended to bum Cumberland and destroy the Railroad, its entire length, to the Ohio river, and then turn into the Kanawha Valley, but his defeat by Gcueral Kelly prevented him. The Pursuit of Early Up the Valley NEW YORK, August 14.—The Jlcrahf liar per's Ferry cori espondent of the 12th says : General Sheridan advanced byway of Charles town and Berryville to Winchester. Our cavalry have hiid some skirmishing with the enemy at va rious points between Berryville ajid Wic-hester, They came upon a party of some fifty Rebels en gaged in thrashing grain, and surprized and cap tured the whole squad. Early was completely surprised by the approach of our army and made but slight resistance, lie found his position fiaitked by Sheridan's manoeuvre, and fell hack during the night, having attempted an artillery duel in the afternoon. Our latest information is to the effect that Gea eraj Sheridan jtassod through Winchester yester day morning. No details of our losses are receiv ed. Some fifteen or twenty men were killed and wouuded. The latter arc in the hospital at Ber ryville. General Welter sent a squad of fifteejt men over the Sheuadouh. a few days since, Ut take posses sion of a quantity of smuggled goods. They se cured the goods, and on their return were attack ed by fifty of Moseby's men ; whom they repuls ed. and then brought off m<st of the goods. A supply train was attacked last night by gut r iiitts and a fiortion of it captured. A sutler was also captured, robbed and released, but his cap tors were afterwards captured by our men and the sutler's money fjund on t'.mm. General llufiie's conttuatei ha* gone out to hunt up the marauders. NEW YORK, Ann. IS. —A speml despatch to the Herald, dated \\' iutlicstcr, August 12th—IU RM , .-;>: "The last of Karlv's Keliel forces left Winchestergii Thursday morning, liis trains were over three miles ion.se. Our cavalry charged into jthe town as the Kebci rear guard went out. — Early established his headquarters last night at Newtown. Yesterday morning htavy skirmish iug oeeurred between our forces aud a portion of the Rebels on the Milford arid Front Royal roads. We drove tho Rebels, K#rly is well protecting his front aud rear and making up the Valley as fast as possible. From Harper's Ferry. HARPER S FERRY, August 12. —Five hundred of the enemy's cavalry were seen at Summit point, and for a few moments our cavalry employed theiu. There were prospects ot a considerable tight, but tbe Rebels retired precipitately without tiling a shot. Prisoners differ as to Early's probable move ments, but the most prevalent one is that he will not ntake a stand at Winchester, but fail back to Strasburp, or possibly make a stand before giving battle, if indeed he does at all. In that case the tight or foot-race hinted at ome days ago degenerates into a foot-race. Our forces, however, art being handled with admira ble vigor and skill, and a portion of the Rebel force may be brought to bay and bagged. Moseby's guerillas are hanging ou the rear of our columns, and annoying us somewhat by pick ing up stragglers and picking up information, and have picked up nearly one hundred of our men. One Rebel officer boasted that be had count ed every man. gun and horse, and by saying that he would have it at headquarters at Winchester before night, unwillingly informed me that Early is still at that point. These guerillas also captured yesterday Mr. Shelby, of the New York Tribune, going to the front, and robbed him in a most approved style, and. giving hisi what they called a parole, let him go. Yesterday a small scouti.ig party, under Ser geant -lames White, first Virginia cavalry, pro ceeded towards Murtinsburg, aud ran upon the Rebels at Cunningham's woods, near that point and were driven back. Sergeant White being wounded was captured, and report says he was immediately hung by the Relxrls. White was one of our oldest and most valued scouts, and his loss is severely felt. Altogether the campaign in the \ alley has opened auspiciously for us, and the Rebels will be pushed back with vigor. WASHINGTON HOTEL, BEDFORD, Pa.. WM.
