During the months of August and September the H nion prisoners confined in the various Southern jprisons died off like so many flies, and with as little •concern on the part of the rebel authorities, as if ! they had been of as little importance. It is said that at Andersonville above 15,000 died. A number •of Bedford county's sons have thus laid down their lives to satisfy the insensate fiends of slavery. We have not heard the names of all, and suppose that many more than we have heard of, have sufferred alike terrible fate. First amongst those who.have famished in the stockades of Georgia, we name Ephriam F. B&rnet, -of Woodberry, this county. Mr. Barnet was draft -ed some time during the year 1863 and enlisted in the service, and was attached to Company I, 149 th, Regiment Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers. He was captured somewhere in Virginia, and was con veyed by the rebels to camp Louton Georgia, where he died some time in November last of Fever and Diarrba?a. Mr. Barnet was a young man of active mind, fine talents and considerable energy and in dustry. He was respected by all who knew him, and his untimely end is deeply deplored by the com munity in which, for a series of years he had resi ded. He has left a young wife, who in the morning of her days, is thus shrouded with the dark and dreary mantle of affliction. Sxmvei. Barnet. of Woodberry. who enlisted in Company A. 184 th Regiment of Pennsylvania Vol unteers some time last Winter, a Nephew of Ephraim F. Barnet. died at the same place about the same time. He leaves a widowed mother to mourn his sad and terrible end- Georgk WN.sox, formerly of Ruinsburg this county, who enlisted in Capt. Compher s Company of the 101 st Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, died of scurvy at Florence. South Carolina, in Octo ber last. Mr. Wilson had served three years, and was taken prsoner at Plymouth, North Carolina, on :thc 30th of April last, and from that time until his •death he languished wiih starvation. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn over his untime ly fate. George H. Askew, of this place, who enlisted in •Capt. Filler's Company (K) of the 53th Regiment •of Pennsylvania Volunteers, died at camp Louton, Georgia some time in November last. He was cap tured by tbe rebels on the 16th of May, 1864, at Drurys Bluff, near Richmond. Virginia. He was a young man of promise. Death has relieved him of a life made burdensome by starvation and mal-treat ment. Who can read the sad and sorrowful recitals of the sufferings of these young men, without shud dering at the atrocity of the fiends who have been revelling in Richmond ? A day of retribution is near. Already a wail has gone up; a few short months more and "vengeance is mine." Ministerial Support. This is the season of the year in which pleasant interchanges of gifts are made among friends, and all the kindlier feelings of the human heart find ex pression. We are pleased to learn that the good people of our town and neighborhood have not for gotten their ministers. The pastors of the Lutheran and German Reformed churches have received large contributions in the wnv of provisions, fuel, and other necessaries. These are times which tell severely on the pastors of country churches, and they must suffer unless their salaries are increased, or relief comes in some other way. It is a matter of amazement that people with large incomes, every want supplied, and large provision made for the future, should allow their ministers to be burdened with care, depressed by anxiety, and unfitted by positive and present suffering for their work. But it is gratifying to know that there is a growing disposition to increase salaries, or otherwise provide for the necessities of clergymen and their families. We have heard of a minister who recent ly received a purse of one hundred and fifty dollars from his people. One church, a few weeks since, added six hundred dollars to the salary they promis ed a year ago. Another very small congregation advanced their pew rents to a thousand dollars, and provided a pleasant parsonage. But when we began to write we simply intended to call attention to a short article we have taken from one of our exchanges. It reads as follows: A correspondent has sent us a paper containing two pages from a "ministers expense book." One page is taken from it in the year 185'J, the other in the year 1864. lhe amounts paid are for the same things, and the same extent in 1864 as in 1859. The list of articles we have carefully reviewed, and they are all such as are absolutely necessary in a house hold, with the exception, perhaps, of one item, viz : "Benevolence, $30." We leave our readers to judge whether this is not a necessary also. The result is worthy of notice, and we beg leave to put it in a very distinct form, as follows: 1859. 1864. $6lO. $ 1 24 8. Churches, deacons, and trustees may read in these figures the wide difference between the value of what thev promised their minister in their call to them, and what he actually receives, if he is forced by them to accept the same nominal salary. Is this just J— is it honest f —is it in accordance with the law of God t Can the church which suffers such a state of things to continue, ask for the blessing of heaven, with the hope of receiving it J On.

The Last relict of British Occupation of Bed* ford gone. One day Inst week a "Yankee"' Map Agent, name | unknown, purchased from an old lady named Stif | fler, residing in this place, the dag which Boated ; over the residence of the British commandant of Fort Bedford, before the Revolutionary War, for the trilling sunt of SSO. The flag is a fine specimen of siik manufacture in the days of the Georges. — The history of the Sag as near as we can learn runs about thus.—When the Revolution broke out a small garrison was station here, the soldiers became patriots and the officers Iteat a hasty exit. The Hag of the commandant tell into the Liatids of Mr. Nau gle, then a citizen of Bedford the father of Fred erick Naugle, Sr., After his death and the death of his wife, it became the property of his sister-in-law, who was married to a gentleman named Stiffier, the father of Anthony SitfHery late of this place, by whom it was inherited, and upon his death, a year or two ago, it became the sole property of his wife, who sold it as above stated, for the paltry sum of fifty dollars, hardly its original cost. For many years after the Revolution the old citizens were want to meet on the anniversary of its capture, and 'drink flowing bowls and indulge in patriotic toasts over the happy event which transferred the British authority to that of the Continental Congress. It has been displayed on a number of important occa sions and was always admired for its beauty and richness. It is undoubtedly over one hundred years old. The town authorities should have purchased I it many years since and prevented any one from carrying it off as a mere speculation. A QUEER CASE. —The Altoona Tribune has the following.—"The substance of the subjoined item came to our ears some weeks since, and has been noticed in a few of our exchanges, but being unable to obtain satisfaction as to the reality of the case, we refrained from publishing anything in relation to it. Having recently , however, received a history of the case, with the names of the parties, from a reliable source, we give it a place. It appears that with one of the companies organized in this place, (for the nine months service,) in the summer of 1862, went a man who lefl a wife and small family. On the Bloody field of Antietam he fell, was buried, and his wile afterwards bad his body disinterred, brought home, and re-interred in the soldiers' lot in the Cemetery. A year afterwards she married again, and in due time a child was born, the fruit of the second marriage. When the call for 5001,000 troops was being filled up, last fall the second hus band enlisted and is now in the army. A short time since, the first husband returned, alive and well, having been taken prisoner at Antietam instead of being killed. He had been held by the Rebels un til the late exchange at Savannah. Of course the parties are in a queer fix ; but all will agree that the i soldier who was once killed, twice burried, starved two years in Rebel prisons, and yet came home alive, is certainly entitled to his wife. "Truth is stranger than fiction." The query is, "who was bur ried in the Cemetery ?"_ ♦♦ ATLANTIC MONTHLY. —The January number of this excellent Magazine, contains articles from Bry ! ant, Longfellow. Hawthorne, Lowell, Bayard Tay | lor, Holmes. Whittierandother distinguished writers. The publishers say that at no time has the Atlantic been so flourishing as now. Its subscription list has increased so largely that during the year 1864 it had an average monthly sale of over 43,00Q copies, making an aggregate for the year of more than half a million numbers. The publishers feel that a success so marked as this can only be due to the fact that they have enlisted in the service of the magazine many of the first writers of our country, whose pens are constantly at work to impart inter est to its pages. They have made arrangements for a continuance of contributions from all these leading authors, and have introduced into their plan for the coming year some new features which will give the Atlantic additional popularity. The January number is printed from new type, and the publishers hare endeavored to make its mechanical excellence commensurate with the remarkable liter ary contents of the number. Published by Messrs, Tieknor A Fields, Boston, at $4 per annum.

Jtrmg fymsifm CAMP 55th, P. V., SIGNAL HILL, VA., 1 Jan. 4th, 1865. J Dear INQUIRES: — Haviug a few leisure moments, and nothing of anj' consequence to do, I thought a few lines to you would be acceptable. Since I wrote to you, we have changed our position, from Fort Burnham on the left, to Signal Hill on the right Hank. We are up on a hill, about one-hundred-and-fifty feet high. Yv e are well fortified here on the iinnk, and I think we can hurl back any force that the Reb's can bring at us. Shortly after we came here they made an attack on us. They drove the pickets in to the works, but could get them to go back no further, — They lay in our front till about mid night when they took a notion to "skedaddle."' We have had no trouble with them since. I suppose you have heard by this time of the changes made in regard to the old Eighteenth and Tenth Corps. They have been broken up entirely, and the white troops of both Corps consolidated into one, to be called the Twenty-Fourth Corps.— The negroes have also been consolidated, and to be called the Twenty-Fifth Corps. I hope the honest loyal people at home, will see that tne soldier is not cheated out of his rights, nor allow their votes that was cast by them on the 11th day of Oct., to be thrown away. The votes were cast by Union men for Union men. And we know, personally, that a more just and honest vote was never polled, than that which the soldiers of Bedford County polled for the Union candidates on that day. <• There have been some promotions in the Bed ford County companies lately. Lieut. H. Haraer, has been promoted to Captaim and 2nd Liet. John fmler, to First Lieut, of Co., K., O. S. Hyssong has been promoted to Second Leut.. he makos a good officer and is liked by his command. They are rather strict with us in regard to fur loughs. If a private makes application for a fur lough he is inspected by the Brigade General, of everything he has. If an officer, his whole compa ny is inspected also. From all appearances. I think the greater part of the boys will get home this winter. If all goes well, as of late, I hope the time will soon be at hand, when, the Rebellion shall be conquered, and all return to our homes, with the assurance of a lasting and honorable peace. The Bedford boys are all well and in fine spirits. They enjoyed their Christmas and New Year as well as could be expected. Everything was quiet, even the constant shelling at Dutch Gap ceased on New Year. A miracle to the army of the James. But I shall close. More anon. TYPO. Ladies' and Children's Hats.

JOHNSON.—Dr. Cromwell Orrick Johnson died in Bloody Run, December 2lt, 1864, aged.27 years, 4 months and 7 days. Early in life, when but a boy, he gave his heart to the Savior, consecrated himself to the cause of Christ, and united with the M. E. Church, of which he was a faith ful and consistent member, until he was called to unite with the church triumphant on the bilssful plains of glory. Although his time on earth was short, and his years wen few, they were well improved. He graduated at Alleghany College, Meadville, Pa. For about two years he was prin cipal of Louisanna Institute at Louisanna, Mo. In the spring of 1563 he graduated at the Medical University of New York. Being a patriot of the right stamp, having the cause of his bleeding country at heart, he entered the army as AssistanfcSurgeun to the sth Pa. Reserves, which position he held in different parts of the army until forced by the wasting hand of disease to resign. Dr. Johnson was greatly beloved and deservedly respected by all who knew him. There are few men who possess the noble traits of character which adorned his short career. By his death society lost one of its brightest ornaments, and the three surviving sisters a kind and affectionate brother. But they are not called npon to "mourn as those who have no hope," for while his body lies in the silent grave his spirit dwells with the blest; for the Savior that he loved in life, was bis strength and comfort in death; and while they hare one tie less on earth, they have one more in heaven. J. B. Polsgkovk. PHILLIPS.—On the sth innt., Mr*. Anna Margaret, wife of Mr. William Phillips, and daughter Adam Barnhart, dec'd, of Bedford township, aged 35 years, 8 months and 5 days. Mrs. Phillips was suddenly removed in the midst of her days and from the midst of her large and interesting fam ily. In her death, not only her family, but also her church, of which she was a pious and consistunt member for the last seventeen years of her life, and her entire community, have been brought to mourn. She was truly a Christian woman. It seemed to those well acquainted with her, that her whole heart was full of that warm love that man ifests itself in the exercise of the Christian graces. Her many virtues justly entitled her to that high esteem in which she was held by all. Large was the concourse of people who came, through the inclement weather, to pay their last tribute of respect to her mortal remains. .May the Lord comfort the bereaved family. Our loss is her gain.
