place he has written to his friends in this place,
who have been very an:tious concerning his fate.—
It wag-feared be had fa.'len in battle. lie is con
fined in vkeiwrme prison with Major John H. Filler.
Meetisg ofthe"Dem<h , R.vtic Clcb." —ThoCitair-
inan of the BemoerrTie County Gommittee under the
modest yet significant ncm r.V pi "me of "Many Dem
ocrats" at last issued his official mandate to all
"true Penoerats in favor of upholding the constitu
tion and the rights of the peoplt'" to convene in the
(,'ourt Hearse on Saturday evening bust, for the pur
pose of organiring a democratic cljib. Long after
the ringing of the L* 11, summoning tnr laithful to as
semble, we could observe a lone foi lower of modern
democracy tratitg his footsteps tt 1 the conclave
of men,burping to avenge c n law and or
der." Win. Hartly Esq. was chosen President. AS
ter some preliminary business, a well kt. own orator
■proposed that they have some speaking a. id suggC3-
■fcod the- name of his friend on his right. Ji v. Schell
took the fcijit to kitiiself, and opened by saying that
he did not wiih a> Milse a speech, but had a few
words to say about certain men in this commu.vty,
who under a secret agency from the government
were constantly communicating information to t, - e
authorities tit Washington. He utterly dc;spi->
these sneaks, who get behind posts, and trees and
peep through key-holes to hear some t'dis) ioyal ex
j ression drop from democratic lips. But the gen-
P.-man solaced himself by the pleasant reflection that
the days of this corrupt and tyranical administration
wece well nigh ended, and that Peace, so long prayed
for by Vallaudigham and bit tkprstle?. would IK; ush
ered is. and reveal the nefarious projects of these
soies at home.
After liim, followed the modest Pre.-iuent, who
in his retiring aucl deferential manner, as a man
the said! who had never engaged in politics, ex
pressed his settled ronriction on the great issues
now before the country. He could see nothing
cheering (loud applause) in the present attitude of
affairs. He would ask, "What hare we gained by
the war." (rociferoius scouting) Absolutely nothing.
( deafening roar, of nothing. ) Therefore let us have
peace. He was in favor of an 'flrwiM-t/w," for there
could be no peace as long as we kept'fighting ? lie
eat.
Mr. Shannon was the next speaker. In his opin
ion the question had just come to this, war or peace.
Democrats or Abolitionist. Every man who is in
favor of the war is an Abolitionist. If you are in
favor of a further prosecution of the war. then you
are in favor of Abolitionism, and all the heresies
and blunders of this Administration, and all the dis
tress that exists throughout the land, and you are in
favor of these infernal drafts that come every three
months of your lives : Slavery had nothing to do
with the war, he admitted, however, afterwards that
slavery was the cause of the war —so much for con
sistency.
Mr. Palmer made a short and sparkliug speech.—
The "'Democratic club" thea weat to bed or some
other place.
s£-vr e record with regret, the death of Jerome
Leonard and Wm. M. Amick, soldiers, of the Re
public. and members of Company D. 53th Regiment
Penna. Volunteers.
Jerome Leonard was a sergeant in the company to
which he belonged and had earned an enviable rep
utation, during nearly three years service, as a brave
and gallant soldier, and one of the best drill officers
of the Regimcan His comrades always spoke of
him in terms of highest commendation, and his supe
rior officers esteemed him a "thorough soldier' 1 de
voted to the eervise arid faithful to his counry. He
received a wound in the right thigh at the battle of
Cold Harbor, of which he died in the General Hos
pital at Fortress Uonroe on the morning of the 11th
of August insL
In a letter, dictated by him the day before his
death, he says : I have done all I could for my
country. It called me and I went and I have suffer
ed. I don't ragret coming to the army, my coun
try is worth Battering for—is worth every thing."'
Wm. M. Amick was a private in the same compa
ny and was especially noted for the faithful perform
ance of every duty and unshrinking courage amid
every danger. He too was wounded in some one of
the battles near Richmond, and died, as we learn
under a second imputation of his leg which became
neeesaary on account of gangrene. We are sorry
that we could not receive fuller particulars of his
death*.
Peace to the ashes of these brave men whose pa
triotic services, and private virtues will long be re
membered in this community.
DEATH or AN AGED CITIZEN.— George James of
Colrain township died the 2nd iust., aged between
82 and 83 years old. He had been a member of
the Legislature for two sessions and County Com
missioner. He leaves a numerous posterity—nine
children, forty-eight grand children, and twenty
great grand children. Mr. James was highly es
teemed by a large circle of friends and acquain
tance!.
HORSE THIEVES ABOUND. —Two horse* were uto
leu in Harmon's bottom last Map day night, one from
G. W. Williams, the other from Isaac Horn. Mr.
Williams offers a reward of one hundred dollars
for the recovery of the horse and detection of the
thief.

Secession Demonstrations at Bedford Springs.
A writer in the New York Herald, writing from !
Bedford Springs, makes an exhibition of matters
there, which as far as our information extends, we
are sorry* to say is true. The proprietor of the
Springs, is a Union man, and a firm supporter of
the Government in suppressing the rebellion and
cati hardly'be held responsible for the sentiments.
nd beba y io* <)f his guests.
REBEL STXI-ATHUEBB AT BEL > FORD SGRLSPS.
Communication by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, eastward, being interrupted by the enemy, iq
order to reach the liue of flie Pennsylvania central
Rqilroad, 1 was obliged to take stage from Cumber
land to Bedford, a distance of thirty utiles. One
mile and a half south of Bedford, and ou our route,
lay the Bedford Springs. Having plenty of time we
tanied over on hour iu looking about the grounds
and tasting of the various waters. Now, I do not
propose to. speak of the desirability of the Springs as
a summer resort, the medicinal health-imparting ef
fects of its waters, but briefly, pointedly and plainly
of the character of the people that have centered
here the present season —aud 1 may add that the
ease has been the same every year of the war.
The guests of Bedford Springs are made up of two
classes, socially aud politically. Ihe lirst class are
those of Union feelings and sentiments, with all
their attendant finer qualities of heart and head. —
The other class consists of a shabby, irresponsible
and low order ol Phiiadelpihia ami Baltimore Seces
sionists. either J>y blood or sympathy. The latter
come here less to imbibe their favorite sulphur water,
tkaa to hold a reunion of friends to treason. They
too, being iu a decided majority, amuse themselves
by brow beating and mis-using the tolerent minority
of loval gentlemen and ladies who have come here
for the benefit-of their health. And. intact, to such
a degree does this constant taunting of the Unionists
extend, that the larger portion of their number have
been forced away iu order to escape the bitterness
and superior numbers ot their enemies. As au ex
ample of the feeling.
. A TOCEX Alt EXT.
Yesterday afternoon a means of harmless enjoy*
-tent was made a contest of the two politicel parties
inpp which the guests of the Springs have divided
themselves. At the opening hve competitors i t
tered the list. After several efforts three of the
party wit fit-drew. leaving the contest between Mr.
Lyon, a young lawyer of New York city, and form
erly a resident of Bedford, and one Dr. Seitzinger.
Mr. Lyon represented the Union, and dressed
in Brother J ohuathqn costume, and the Dr. the Se
cession element. In Rie riding, Mr. Lyon won the
victory. The crowning, a.- is usual on sueii occasions,
wits to take place at the evening hall. The defeat,
however, of the Secessionists, in the true spirit and
unprincipled character of Seeessionism, caused the
opposition to declare Mr. Lyon's riding was unfair,
and made every kind of unjust accusation, deciding
at first tpjt to attend the crowning. Night came,
but tfip opposition did not fail to make their ap
pearanoe. and chivalry like, exposed their tuul na
tures by passing remarks upon the ceremonies. —
Miss Dofiie Watford of HarrMuv.;, daughter of the
President of tho Northern Central Railway, w-:-
crowned tfio fairest of the i'nio , fair, and I mey mid
parenthetiouHy. from what 1 saw, very rightly o t,.0
The bitter feeling of the Seccsh did not even end
here: hut the triumph of t}iat rues' et'w>abi-; mi
nority. for a short period humbled their pride.
OKXECA; HI ELL.
The conduct of General Bqpll has aba been vfiatne
ful i i tho most extreme degree. It for no feelings
of pe. h vital respect, out of regard for tin- favors
shown h ; ni by the Government, it would be moral
hecomitfc* to'keep aloof from the contaminating tna
joritv of t -uc:;t< at Bedi'ord Springs, instead, how
ever. of do. tig this, h.'recicve th i j, latteries, and ap
plans* and the hero of the season among a crowd
who would It 'id anythiug that would sympathize and
add tiutiitiers ■> their party.
-'ATtOVAt. FAS'# HAY.
On this occasion the antagonism of the persons
alluded to presented itself in a still ittore striking
manuer. It was proposed by the Union Lis to set
aside the ball for tea* evening, and manifest some
regard for the day in that way. The Secessionists
hearing this, at once wore unanimously in favor of
the ball and when the hour came the music struck
up and the dance went on with more vigor and en
thusiasm than any night of the season. It is unnec
essary to add that the Unionists were not present.
THE SVKIXOS BASIL
This necessary Itody of individuals are as much
tinctured with the element as the most hot-headed,
and at certain hours sit under the trees oi the lawn
and murder Seeesh airs to an alarming extent,
THE REV. lIAS'IEI, WASHBORX.
Hoaring of the impiety of the guests of the
Springs, the Rev. Daniel Washburn of Philadelphia,
was delegated to visit here, to hold and to introduce
the prayer for the President. At first there was
considerable controversy upon the subject: but the
"secessionists, tfiiqking this too glaring a cause of
hostility, tolerated the obnoxious prayer, though
with evident disapprobation.
FINALE.
We might mention a hundred other cases of the
abomimv jo behavior of the guests at Bedford Springs,
but the above qre sufficient to introduce the subject
to the mind of the authorities and the people.—
The proprietor of the Springs, whether sympathiz
ing with the Unionists or Secessionists, we are not
prepared to state positively, hut he certainly extends
greater favor to the latter. It would be well for the
government at least to demand respect of these peo
ple if they have not sufficient firmness to punish
them. It is deplorable to permit an unprincipled
andjrude set oi individuals to thus mar the happi
ness of Union people, and that ; too, in their own
State. Let something be done.

Soldiers Letter
Tne following is an extract from a letter written
by John H Allison, of Co. I. 21st Regt. Pa. Cavalry,
to-his Sister.
NEAR PETERSBURG VIRGINIA,
August 4th, 1864
DEAR SISTER :
*************
The Lieutenant got back safe, He has written a
letter to the Ixquikkr (The letter is given on the first
page) giving an account of the "blowing up''of a
Rebel fort. It was opposite to us, about sixty jierch
es. It was a grand sceue. I would not have missed
seeing it fur any thing. It rose up like a volcano,
then spread out and fell like the drooping branches
of a weeping willow. Hen, cannons, knapsacks,
guns, haversacks, logs, tents and ground were seen
flving in the air about three-hundred feet high. Then
about one hundred and fifty cannons opened upon
the enemy's lines, which made the earth shake, the
air soon became so thick with smoke that you could
not see one hundred yards: but it soon rose and we
Could see the enemy's lines. The Rebs did not re
ply at first but after their fright was over they came
back and opened on us. which again made the earth
shake beneath our feet, the roar of cannon, musketry
and the yelling of charging columns were deafening.
We captured one line from "John Henrys," but they
charged on us and drove us back to our former place.
I am now writing in my "cave" under the ground
about six fleet, it is called a bombproof: it is dug
into too ground, aud toga laid ever, and tJhen dir ton
to prevent the shells from hitting us, I shot about
one bandied shots, I don't know whether they done
any good or not, bat hope they did. The rebs and
us are about three nuudred yards apart. If God
spare my lite to get home I'll give,you a discriptiou
of things in general.

Dear Friend, Jlre. La*kl*y .*
It is my painful duty to drop yqu a fpw lines to
day, painful for the tidings 1 have to send you. Your
son Isaac, my fricud and and companion is dead. lie fell
fighting nobly in defence of his country, aud his country's
flag. He wa- wounded through the body in a fight that
took plqcc, May sth, near the Wilderness battle-field. 1
saw hiir, a few moments in the evening when he was car
ried off the bloody field, but only a few moments, aud 1
was compelled to leave him. lie was taken to the hos
pital. ! heard from fiipi a few days after: he was in
Fredericksburg where all our wqunded were sent. The
person that saw bim, told me Ije was getting better. I
was to hear that, and I hoped and prayed that he
might get well and live to tie a comfort and stay to his
parents whom ho loved so much. After that I did not
Lear from biai for several weeks, aud that only a few days
ago, anil tiu>u the news was. that he had died, was buried
at Fredericksburg, ou the itsppahannock river. He died
>u the 25th of May, about 5 o'clock in the evening, pud
was buried qpxt morning. I ntn toid that a hoard with
his name mark; his resting place, which is qn the north
ride of the town, and near the canal. When jie died he
had on his person a small Testament, whieh lie always
carried, and a small memorandum hook: so the person
who was with him toid me, I heard that he got some one
to write to you for him while be was there, aud I hope
you heard from him white he was. yet living. He had
some money when he was wounded, how much 1 do no!
know.
''lie person who war with hits sail he did not think h<-
had any money when he died,audi cujijkjm) he had given
it to some urie to send to you.
I-aac waa a good. and noble fellow, and a true, brnrr
fhiier. ll> e hi- loss oueply. for I to-ed him almost as
i. do a lr hor. lie had many friends iu his company
and regiment. ...
■ ' with you, his parent who mount hi- loss,
b i" though yt..i mourn. you need uot mourn for linn as
one who bad DO hope. Almost the last word* dear Isaac
said ;•> tue v.. re that ho wa- ail right. I have reason to
e'.tPTe that he died with a bright hope of a -blissful im
mortality beyond the grave." lie raid among other
tilings, the la-t moments 1 was with hiic, that he hoped I
would get out -ale, ant! though aflV.>.g extreme pain
himself, appeared giad 'hat I was u hurt.
Dear friends, I hope I have not tv.cn the f-rst to break
this painful news to you, ami that some one Who was wi h
•lim when he breathrd his !t. msv harp kindly sent you
word. Although it hurts toe to write to you niid tell you

Mr DEAR MOTHER : —lt is with the greatest pleasure
that I take my scat to answer your dear letter which 1 re
ceived some time since, and read with much pleasure and
I bad not time to answer till qow; but 1 think t shall try
to write, I am well at present, and am in hopes if these
few lines ever reach you they may find you all in the same
good blessing. Dear mother I must tell you since I saw
your dear mother loving face, I have seen some tolerably
bard times, but I still keep myself in as good heart as I
can, when I get a little discouraged, I take piy little tee
tatneut that you gave me, when we were at home so
happy living together and I seat myself and read, and
that relieves me of my troubles, and it make)pe think of
iny dear parents, and it makes me think that you ara offer
ing your prsyers for me every dny, and it makes me feel
happy, and 1 trust you may not forget rnc my dear moth
er. I must tell you I often think of you and Pa, atfd all
of my Dear lirotheis und Sisters, and my prayer is that
we ull may meet again, if not in this world, in the world
to come, and as we read in the Scriptures there will he
no trials or temptations, but all will be lore, mother you
don't know tyhat a cantp life you can hear all.the time
some of the boys taking the Lord's name in vairp while
others arc playing cards, and at most anything bad. It
is hard for one to try to do right. I c:o sorry to say there
is only one besides myself in our Company but what
| swears, that is my friend Luther Trpxell, pud I think he
is a trying to do what is right, apd I will tell you of an
other case I Saw, a man a few days ago a talking about
railing off his watch and >fheu h$ was down to Baltimore
bow be was one in leading prayer meeting, though he
may have meant uo harm by it; but I did not think it
looked weil him, our boys in our Company are all nice
boys only they are very wicked, I aic sorry to tell you
so, but it is true, but mother I don't think that I am any
worse cow than I was when I was at k OUI Fi and I don't
think I shall be any worse, but am in hopes I shall grow
better, or I think I shall try to do so, and I am in
hopes my trying it will not be in vain, my dear mother
1 would be glad to hear from you all, 1 have
i-aen looking for a letter from Pap every day for
some time, aud I expect that John will seud me
one soon. I have wrote Pap two letters aud John one,
and have got no answer yet, when I wrote Johns letter
we were on marching orders and then we were only
marched about a mile towards Clearspring, and encamped,
and some of the Capt's and Lieut's say we will take our
winter quarters fysre, aud k-.ep the tie :--ih oat of tho
town, and ie. the boys of MoCieUs® come ;a on the rear
of them, aud then we will walk over Motxtgct thea a.d
then we will give them a hot time of it and I expect we |
will think it had too: hut t is all right with mc for 1 enme !
here to fight for our eonntry and die if accessary, and 1
think I will 4o go, and last Monday General Kediey had a
review of His brigade, and we had a big drill, and I must
say it was * nice sight to see all the brigades to- \
gether and see them a drilling, 1 wish you all had
been here to seen it and i f we encamp here I am a
going to come, home about the holy days if I can get
off, and I think 1 can. and if wc move from hero I
shall try to como any how and if possible I will
come and sec my well beloved parents und brothers
and sister and -friends. Mother you ought to be i
here to see how the wind makes the tents flutter, I
expect Hallow* there to, 1 expect the old fences are a ■
a flying every wqy, and if the war is i<pt tfvpr against
Spring it wi!! be a big job for Robert to fix theta up ;
but il the war is over I and Dag tpgy be home to
help him. aud I think perhaps it will lie over or the
pifiiu lighting will be over, oh if it would be so what
a hltppy meeting it would be when wp all would be
together and sit down to a table together, 1 have
pleuty to eat such as it is, and I am as hearty as ev

Gentlemen.—Having seated it verbally to you. I hare
no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I experienced mark
ed benefit from ycur Hoofland's German Bitters. During
a long aud tedious session of Congress, pressing and oner
ous duties nearly prostrated me. A kind friend suggest
ed the use of the preparation 1 hate named. I took his
advice, and the result was improvement of health, renew
ed energy, and that particular relief I so much needed
and obtained. Others may be similarly advantaged if
they desire to be. Truly your friend,
Thomas B. Florkmcis.

For many years |iave J suffered from one of the most an
novipg and debit tatipg complaints that 'he hnnian fami
ly can he afflict, <1 with, Chronic Diarrhea.
During the km rime I was suffering from this disease,
I was attended hi' regular physicians, giving me but tem
porary reiief. The osuse seemed to remain until I was
induced to try Hoofland's German Bitters. After the use
of :t few bottles of that valuable medicine, Iho complaint
j appeared to he eomplvtply eradicated.
f often inwardly thank you for such a valuable specific
Mi l, whenever I have an opportuuity. cheerfully recom
mend it, with full confidence in its reliability.

las an invaluable tonic, and u -he'ifatingly recommend it
to all who are suffering from dyspepsia. I hnve hml that
disease in its moft obstinate form—flatulence—for many
years, and your Bitters has given inc case when every
thing else had failed. Yours truly, JCLITS LEE.

Gentlemen : Til reply to your inquiry as to the effect
produced by tho use of Hoofland's German Bitters, in
my family, 1 have no hesitation in saying that \t has la-en
highly hei cud. In one instance, a ease of dyspepsia of
thirteen ye rs' slandicg. and which had become very dis
tressing. llje use of one bottle gave decided relief, the se
ond offccting a cure, and the third, it seems, ha confirmed
the cure, for there bit? been no s vipptoins of its return for
the last six y -am. In my individual use of it 1 find it o
i be an unequalled tonic, and sincerely recommend its use

Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen: —l have recently
been laboring uuder the distressing effects of indigestion,
accompanied by a prostration of tha nervous system.
Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and
some of them tested, but without relief. Yoqr Hoofland's
German Bitters were recommended by persons who had
tried theui, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters
induced me also to try them. 1 ipust confer- that I had
an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and
one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seams to be to palm
off sweetened ami drugged liquor npon the community,
in a sly way; and the tendency of which, 1 fear, is to
make many a confirmed drunkard. I'pon earning that
yours was rc-ally a tqedicipe preparation, I took it with
happy effect. It- action was not upon mily the alomach,
but upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying.
I feci that I have derived great and permanent benefit from
the use of a few buttle*. Ycrv respectfully vours,
