To Our Subscribers.
Our subscribers are reminded that it requires moil
ey to print this INQUIRER. Every thing we use costs
money. Will our subscribers bear this in mind and
remember us the coming Court term, if not sooner?
HaT" All subscriptions paid before the first of De
cember next will be creditedat our advance rates, of
two dollars a year. If payment is delayed after that
time, the rates will be increased, in accordance with
our publications,
After the first of January next no paper will
be sent out of the county, unless paid for in advance.
We hope our subscribers out of the county will not
take this amiss. But tho large and thus far increas
ing expenses, in the printing business, makes us fee
that in order to carry it ou successfully, a cash sys
tem as nearly as may be, must be adopted.
INSURANCE. —We take pleasure in directing the at
tention of our readers and friends to Mr. Durborrow's
advertisement in this paper. He has received the
appointment of Agent of a number of the best insur
ance companies in the U. S., and is ready to take
all insurable risks on favorable terms. Call and get

MOSES A. POINTS Esq., was the prac
tice of the law last Court, on motion of Hon. John
Cessna. Mr. Points is a young man, who has an
ambition to rank high iri his profession. We hope
he may meet with all the success that his talent3j
diligence and honorable course shall entitle him to.
FIRE. —The house of Mrs. John M. Rollins in
Cumberland Valley, seven miles south of Bedford
was entirely consumed by fire last Friday night.—
The fire was so far under way, before it was discov
ered thai but few of the effects in the house were
saved. Mrs. Thomas Hunt an iuvalid eighty-five
years old, was carried out on her bed. ihe loss of
Mrs. Rollins is stated at si,ooo. A lady, the daugh
ter of Mr. James liea, living with Mrs Rollins, lost
property valued at S7OO. The fire is thought to
have been the work of an incendiary. No insurance.
ANOTHER Iliin THREATENED. —New Creek,twenty
miles west of Cumberland, was captured by the reb
els last Monday, and the public stores destroyed.—
Our force there is stated at 800. The enemy were
variously estimated up to 4000. This sudden stroke
excites a good deal of apprehension of a destructive
raid on our border. But we believe ample prepa
ration is made to meet any demonstration likely to
be made by the enemy in this direction. Though we
are * ithout detail and cannot speak confidently.
ISOICATIOSS OK ON. is BLAIR COCXTY. —The resi
dents of Tyrone city have got the oil fever badly,
from certain indications of oleaginous deposit alleg
ed to have been discovered near there. The indi
cations referred to, it is said, were found at Grant
Mill, owned by Meisrs. Pruner a Hurley, of Tyrone,
and a practical geologist has pronounced the indica
tions for oil unmistakable. The discovery, it is
said, has created considerable excitement, and offers
to buy territory have been made and refused.
LECTURE. —An interesting lecture was delivered
on Tuesday evening, in the Presbyterian Church in
this place, on behalf of the Sanitary Commission,
by the Rev. J. Park, of Wisconsin. The speaker
presented an instructive and impressive array ol
facts, strikingly showing the comprehensive and be
neficent workings of the Sanitary Commission. One
statement made, might be accepted as conclusive
evidence of the ability and economy exhibited in the
management of the extensive operations carried 011
by the Commission. Seven millions of dollars have
been expended, at a cost of only three per cent., for
collection, disbursements, agents, Ac., giving ninety
seven cents to the soldier out of every dollar con
tributed.
Another fact stated illustrates the results of the
labors of the Commission on a vital point—that of
health. Comparative tables have been published
showing that the relative deaths, from sickness and
wound* in battle, have been greatly diminished Biuce
the beginning of the war, and the health of our ar
mies, as shown by the percentage of deaths, greatly
exceeds that of the European armies. The improve
ment in the B&nit&ry condition of our armies is di
rectly traceable to the labors of the Sanitary Com
mission.
Mention was made of the articles most useful to
the soldier. It seems that the preserves and jellies,
which are in such demand in all model households,
are not found to be on tie whole of much benefit to
t he soldier. Thev are liable to ferment and spoil en
route, and when they arrives in good condition, are
not good for the sick soldier. A variety of articles
were enumerated useful as, such as drawers, socks,
shirts, handkerchiefs, coverlids, fine tooth combe,
mittens. Ac.
Our limited spaee prevents our giving a fuller de
tail of this instructive lecture. Mr. Park will remain
in the county two or three weeks, and many of our
readers will have an opportunity of hearing him.

The Escape of Lieut, Conley.
In our last paper, we alluded to the escape of
LieUt. Conley from Rcbeldom, and his safe return
Ito bis home in Schellsburg. We have since had a
conversation with him, and gathered interesting de
tails. Lieut. Conley was among the prisoners taken
by the rebels at Plymouth the 20th of last April.—
He confirms the statements made at that time of the
massacre of more than two hundred colored prison
ers by the rebels. lie saw the squads of rebel sol
diers as they severally returned from shooting the
negroes, and heard them state how many each shot
We do not remember of seeing any serious denial
ot the massacre : which was in effect, admitted in
some 6f the Southern papers. In the official report
of the capture of Plymouth, the negroes taken,
were reported as "lost." The paper, (aCharleston'
one,) in publishing the report, remarked, that "our
readers will understand what 'lost' means." Lieut
Conley was detained at Andereonville a short time.
He bad an opportunity of inspecting the place of
confinement, in which so many of our bravo men
have been starved to death. They were all herded
in a field of sixteen acres, surrounded by a high
board fence, made in such manner as to prevent the
passage of a man through or over it. There were
no trees# awning or shelter of any description in
the enclosure. The rations, were one pint of corn
meal a day The recital of the sufferings of the
prisoners, in this pen, fit only for the hardiest dumb
beasts, has already to often excited the horror and
indignation of the civilized world, to be enlarged
upon here More than a hundred a day died during
the summer months, with no attempt, as far as we
have ever noticed, on the port of the rebel authori
ties to mitigate the sufferings of their prisoners.—
The Lieut, was held at Macon two months, and
was taken from that place to Charleston on the 25Hb
day of July. On the fifth of October last, he was
ordered to Columbia, S. C., and took passage on the
cars on the morning of that day. The prisoners
were placed in the common box or freight cars.—
There was not sufficient room on the inside for all,
and puite a number were placed on the roof of the
cars out side. Among these on the out side was
Lieut- Conley, Capt. D. W. Mullir, Lieut. Thomas
King, and Lieat. Helm of Bedford Co. It was not un
til after they were on the way to Columbia than an es
cape was thought of. Of fifteen or.twenty on top of the
car only three had the temerity to venture to run a
rebel gauntlet of five hundred miles. Lieut. Conley,
Capt. Davidson and another officer, both of Beaver
county. Two guards were placed on each car, but
i in such manner as to leave every alternate space or
I opening between the ends of the cars without
j guards. Shortly after ten o'clock in the night the
I train stopped at a watering station just over the
j Congaree river. The night being very dark, they
succeeded in eluding the guards, and got down un
der the cars undetected, throwing themselves on the
out side of the track near the car wheels. The last
car was a passenger one, upon the rear end of
which? was a signal light, Upon the platform near
the light was a sentinel, who as the car passed, dis
covered the three men, two of whom were already
moving for the woods near the road. He instantly
brought his gun to bear and fired upon the remain
ing one, Lieut. Conley, whose clothes near a vital
part of his body were pierced through by the bullet.
The Lieut, probably saved his life by instantly, as
he saw the sentinel raise his piece, throwiug him
self over beyond the cross ties. lie immediately
plunged in(o the woods, the !rain passing on without
stopping. From this time, their whole r >rtc t'
within a few days travel of Knoxville, lay through
the woods and nntravelt-d byways, traveling in the
night and laying by, during the day. They found
without exception, the negroes friendly, and re
markably well informed in regard to every thiDg
touching the rebellion, and particularly its effect up
on their condition. They were supplied with food,
corn bread, sweet potatoes Ac., throughout their
whole journey to the mountains, by these faithful
friends. They arrived in Knoxville after thirty nine
days travel, and many narrow escapes. On the high
lands and in the mountains, all the whites were
found to be loyal, as has been noticed and remarked
from the beginniug of the war.
Letter from Charleston S. C. Jail Yard.
The following Letter from Lieut. J. H. Longin
ecker, has been handed to us for publication.
JAIL YARD, CHARLESTON, S. C., 1
Sept. 29th 1864. /
DEAR SIR:—
I still live and have my being, but move very lit
tle as you will at once infer from my heading. You
will perhaps recollect that I was placed on detached
duty about April 20th: I am still on the same spe
cial service. We still have some glimmering hopes
hbwever that we will be rcalled by an exchange
some time this fall. I was some months at Macon
Ga., over a month at Savannah and about two weeks
in this yard. If we cannot see our friends, we at
least have a constant serenade from below.
We are treated much tetter than our men, indeed
as well as we could expect taking in view the cir
cumstances. I presume it is well known to you
that our men have died very rapidly the postseason.
For reading matter I have the Bible, Tytler's Histo
ry, Hitchcock's Geology Ac. My health is quite
good, also Compher, Beegle, and Capt. Evans, who
is with us. All the officers of the 101 st are well.
I would like very much to be in Penn. about this
time.
How is Keagy ? Is he in Bedford? I have not seen
Jno. Filler but seen letters from him. I would like
to read the INQUIRER these times. We have the
Mercury A Courier dally. My regards to Mrs.
and friends.
Truly Your Friend.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. —On last Friday night, U. J.
Jones, of Hrrisburg, was immediately killed by be
ing run over by the cars of the Nothern Central Rail
road, at that place. We have not learned thepartic
ulars of his death. It is said he was walkiug upon
the track when the train came along.
Mr. Jones for many years resided in this town,
and while here was one of the editors of the Stand
ard. and while connected with it, that paper was in
its glory.
Mr Jones was also for some time, assistant Weigh
master on the Portage Railroad at this place.
He left here some time about the year 1858, and
has for most of the time since then been local editor
of the Patriot and Union, at Harrisbnrg-
He is the author of the "History of the Juniata
YaHeyj" which is a well written and very interest
ing volume. In the collection of facts and their ar
rangement into readable history, he displayed far
more than ordinary ability.
He leaves a widow,and four children. — Jlollidays

DIED.
SKILINGTON.—Jons H. Siui.lisgto.x, of Bedford
Co., Pn„ died in the U. S. General Hospital, at Alexandria.
Va., Sept. 14, 1864, of Typhoid Fever, aged 25 years, 2
months and 2 days. About two months before his death
he was drafted into the U. 3. service ,in the ''three year.-
eall." Knowing his inability for military duty on account
of considerable deafness and a week constitution, be had
been deterred from volunteering as he had desired to do.
Notwithstanding this, to the astonishment of his friends,
(enemies he had none,) he was taken as a drafted man, tc
the impropriety of which his early death testifies. For
several years previous to his death he was a consistent
member of the M. E. Chnrch. His actions and life testi
fy of Hie kind he V ■n- .-ous feeling-, and amiable dis
position of which fit. nut the happy and fortunate posses
sor. These good qualities hu 1 won for him many friends.
Indeed "to Anotn him was but to love him." He was a
consistent christian, true friend, dutiful son, and kind
brother. Like thousands of the brave defenders of out
homes and liberties, bis was not the privilege to have dear
and loved ones accompany hitn to the shore of the cold
stream of death. Although there were no doubt many
friends around him, yettbore were none among them thai
could show the tem.er soliritode of a Mother's heart, a
Sister's kindness, or a Father's love. His mother needed
no assistance or comfort that her "John" could supply.—
In a letter to his brother in the volunteer service, he ex
horts him "to live as a christian and put his trust in God."
Friends, although you could not comfort John by your
presence and sympathy as he was entering the "valley,"
yet his Savionr was with him all the way through, giving
him light and strength to aid in his passage, that he might
"fear no evil."
"Oh,yc weary, sad and tossed ones,
Droop not, faint not by the way;
Ye shall join the lored and lost ones,
In the land of perfect day..
Harp-strings touched by angel Angers,
Murmured in my raptured ear,
Evermore their sweet song lingers,
"We shall know each other there.'"

PRENDEP.GRAST.—KiIIed in action, on the 12th nit.,
near Front Royal, Va.. Captain Richard G. Phesder
grast, on the staff of General Powell, and captain of Co.
A, Ist New York cavalry, aged about 81 years.
The untimely fall of this gallant officer and gentleman
will cause an aching void in the hearts of many friends
in New York and Bedford, Pa., where he was well known-
He had passed through more than thirty engagements
unscathed, only to faH snddeuly but gloriously on this last
fatal field. We give just credit to our own young men
for laying their all upon the altar of "nr country: bnt her
was a chivalrous soul, who bared his bosom in the cous
of strangers; for he was born abroad, served w,th distiuc
tion in the Venezuelan service, and came to this country
about ten years ago. U pin the breaking out of the rube!
lion he offered his fcrviees, and has been engaged eve.-
since. His precious blood is only one more of the sacrifi
ces offered no to put down this most causeless rebellion.
May the turf rest lighj'.v over him. and may be in< et with
mercy at the hands of the Great Judge, who. we can no
but think, looks with kindness upon all who have nobly
died in the cause of justice and freedom.— U'athivfffint

tl- expectorant, and that Want has been supplied in your
excellent Troches. I consider them very far superior to

Washington, January 1,1864.
Gentlemen.—Having stated it verbally to you, I have
no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I experienced mark
ed benefit from your Hoofland's German Bitters. During
a long and tedious session of Congress, pressing and oner
ous duties nearly prostrated ine. A kind friend suggest
ed the use of the preparation I have 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. FLOKENCE.
From John B. Wickersham, Esq., firm of Wickersham
A Hut -hison, the celebrated Manufacturers of Fancy-
Iron Works, 259 Canal St_
lam the recipient from you of one of the greatest fa
vors that can lie conferred upon man, vis: that of health.
For many yeacs have I suffered from one of the most an
noying and debilitating complaints that the human fami
ly can be afflicted with, Chronic Diarrhea.
During the long time I was suffering from this disease,
I was attended by regular physicians, giving me but tem
porary relief. The cause seemed to remain until I was
induced to try Hoofland's German Bitters. After the use
, of a few bottles of that valuable medicine, the complaint
appeared to he completely eradicated.
I often inwardly tbsrik you for such a valuablo specific
and, whenever I have an opportunity, cheerfully recom
mend it, with full confidence in its reliability.
Truly yours,
JOHS B. WjCXBRSIIAM.

February Bth, 1864.
Messrs. Jones & Evans—Gentleman:—My mother-in
law has been so greatly benefitted by yourHoofland's Ger
man Bitters tbat I concluded to try it myself. I find it to
bean invaluable tonic, and unhesitatingly recommend it
to all who are suffering from dyspepsia. I have had that
disease in its most obstinate form —flatulence—for many
years, and yonr Bittere has given me ease when every
thing else had failed. Yours truly, JULIUS LEE.
From the Hon. JACOB BROOM,
Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863.
Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the effect
produced by the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, in
my family, I bare no hesitatien in saying that it has been
highly beneficial. In one instance, a ease of dyspepsia of
thirteen years' standing, and which ha<l become very dis
tressing, the nse of one bottle gaTe decided relief, the sec
ond affecting a cure, and the third, it seems, bas confirmed
the cure, for there has been no symptoms of its return for
the last six years. In my individual use of it 1 find it o
bo an unequalled tonic, and sincerely recommend its use
to the sufferers.
Truly yours, JACOB BROOM,

Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of 12th Baptist Church,
Philadelphia, December 26th, 1863.
Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen: | I have recently
been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion,
accompanied by a prostration of tka nervus system,
num crous remedies were recommended by riendf, and
some of them tested, but without relief. Your Hoofland's
German Bitters were recommended by persons who had
tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters
induced me also to try theni. I must confess thai I had
an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and
one" quack "Bitterr" whose only aim seems to be to palm
off sweetened and drugged liquer upon the community,
in a sly way; and the tendeney of which, I fear, is to
make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon leaning tbat
yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with
happyeffect. Its action was not upon only the stomach,
but upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying.
I feel that I have dcrivedjgrt at and permanent benefit from
the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully y | rs,
W.l). SEIGFRIED,

testimony to the deserved reputation it hue obtained.
I have for years, at times, been troubled with great disor
der in my bead and nervous system. 1 was advised by a
friend to try a bottle of your German Bitters, I did so, and
have experienced great an ! unexpected relief; my health
has been very materially benefited. I confidently recom
mend the article wiere 1 meet with cases similar to my
own, and have bcoa assured by many of their good ef
fects.
