SUV' OL II TURMS, as we have published eonspicu- j
oiisiy foi more than six Months, are §2,00 strictly in
advance. $2,25, if three months or more in ureas,
§•2,50 after the close of the year. No considerate
man who wishes our and his paper to prosper, will j
ask it for less. It co3ts us more than three times as
much to print it now. than it cost our predecessor
three years ego. Paper, the chief item of expense,
cost him 325.00 a year. It is now costing us for
paper, at the rate of $1313.76 a year! Our other
expenses are happily not increased in this propor
tion, but they are more than double what they were,
at the time we speak of. These facts may be taken
as an URGENT request for every subscriber to pay
up his arreas, and if convenient make an advance
payment. We need money! VYE ARE VERY MUCH IN
NEED OF MONEY ! ! WE MUST HAVE MONEY!!!
To OVB DISTANT SUBSCRIBERS.—OAR subscribers
out of the County and State are requested to remit
the amount of their subscriptions, $2.25. if more
than three months in arrears.
As APPRENTICE to learn the art of Printing, will
be received in this office. Application should be
made immediately.
The Democrats in Council.
The remnant of the forlorn Democracy held a
meeting in the Court House, on Monday evening.
The constant process of purging the party of "rene
gades"' is becoming perceptible in the thinned ranks
of the unterrified. The Court House on this occa
sion was but moderately filled with a melancholy
and sorrowing audience.
O. PI. Shannon, Esq., was the first speaker. His
remarks were based upon Greenbacks, Negro Suf
frage, and Gen. Coffroth's vote on the amendment
to the Constitution. He said the greenback system
was dangerous to the laboring community, as so
many men turned their attention to speculation.
The country was flooded with paper currency, and
everybody was turning speculator, and consequent
ly the farming interest suffered. He could not see
how the farmers would get their grain harvested,
owing to the scarcity of hands; that the scarcity of
laborers could not be attributed to the number of
men in the army, but owing to the speculation that
absorbed the attention of so many ; and the cause
of all this speculation was attributable to the Green
back currency. He next turned his attention to
Negro Suffrage. The admission of a colored attor
ney to practice in the Supreme Court of the United
States, a few days since, gave him great fears thai
the day was not far distant when the negro would
step up to the polls and vote with the white men
with whom he was talking, which he was not ready
for, and hoped the Democracy would yet get into
power to prevent such an outrage upon intelligent
people. He was particularly severe upon Gen.
Coffroth f<sr his late vote in favor of the amendment*
10 the Constitution abolishing slavery. He could
not tell why this vote was given, as he was elected
on the principle of the Constitution as it is, and the
Union as it was. May be money bad something to j
Jo with it.vznd may be he (Gen. Coffroth) expected I
by giving this vote that he might be assisted in his I
contest with Gen. Koontz. He told the Democracy I
that they must be more careful in the future in the
selection of candidates, and nominate none but the
simon-pure men who would not betray them in the
hour of ueed. Again, he would prefer Gen. Koontz
to Coffroth at this time, and one would suppose
from his remarks in relatiou to this particular case,
that he regretted that he ever gave his vote to the j
recreant member of Congress from Somerset. He I
(Shannon) declared that he was neither Pro-Slavery
or Antr-Slavery, and did not care three continent- I
als which way it was settled ; but he did not believe I
we had the authority or power to amend the Consti- I
tution. He gave several illustrations to show that
he was right, which illustrations his hearers could
not appreciate.
Mr. Meyers, of the Gazette, was the next speaker.
He commenced by saying that there was no issue
before the Democracy at this particular time. He
appeared before them for the purpose of placing
himself right before the people on the proposed
amendment to the Constitution. It had been re
marked by some of bis good friends (who lately left
the Democratic party) that he fMeyers) favored the
vote of Gen. Coffroth. He declared once for all
that he did not favor the course of Mr. Coffroth,
and. further, that he believed the proposed amend
ment to be Unconstitutional. He wished the De
mocracy purified; and men who refused to subscribe
to the tried principles of Democracy thrown over
board. He finally concluded that the Democracy
had a great work before them. The question of
negro suffrage was now, or soon would be, upon
them, and then it was necessary to have a perfect
organization of their party, in order to defeat fanat
icism.
If Gov. Curtin bears of the proceedings of this
meeting, and the speech of Mr. Meyers, he will cer
tainly conclude that his friends are to be found in
the Democratic party of Bedford. Mr. Meyers ap
plauded him for his manliness in showing the ad
ministration its faults and rascality, in the number
of men it required of Pennsylvania to fill our defi
ciency on former drafts. He was scarcely applauded
during his remarks, and one would suppose, from
his manuer of speaking, that he still fears that the
simon-pure Democracy of this county refuse to en
dorse his savings, owing to his former political
opinions.
Ot'H Q cor A. —Present appearances indicate that
the Borough s quota (20) will not be filled by volun
teer enlistments, for the reason that the bounties are
not forthcoming by subscription. The amount ne
cessary to be raised is $9,000; which if equally dis
tributed among those liable to draft in the borough,
would be each there being ninety-two on the
list. Thirty-five hundred dollars was subscribed a
few days ago, and the matter came to a stand. It
seems to us that if a concerted effort be made, the
bounties can still be raised, provided that each con
tributes his quota of funds.
ADMITTED. —Jona. B. Cessna, of Bedford borough,
J. T. Keagv, and E. F. Kerr, were admitted to the
practice of law in the several Courts in Bedford
county, on motion of S. L. Russell, Esq., on Wed
nesday the 15th inst. Their examination was pri
vate, so that the public will never know the extent
of their preliminary qualifications. No doubt, how
ever, they will soon attain to a high reputation as !
able and successful practitioners at the bar.
1 HE WEATHER for a week past lias been stormy !
and cold. Monday morniug, at day break, the !
mercury was thirteen degrees below zero, and on i
Tuesday morning eleven degrees below. Accord- '
ihg to all accounts this is the severest winter expe- |
rieuced in these parts for a nufflher of years. j

tions in the enrollment lists, Ac. We understand
the names of persons drafted will not be published
before the official notification is served upon them.

BROWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES are widely known
as an established remedy for Coughs, Colds, Bron
chitis, Hoarseness, and other troubles of the Throat

use has brought out imitations, and similar prepar
ations represented to be the same, which are gener
ally injurious. Obtain only "Broirti's Bronchial
Troches.

At Andersonville, Georgia, OD the 10th of April, 1864.
of sickness and privation, WILLIAM BELTZ, of Co. H,
2d Maryland Home Brigade, in the 20th year of his age.
The deceased was a good soldier, a good husband and
father; but he lost his life through the barbarity of rebel
treatment, leaving a wife and several small children to
mourn his loss. Let us hope, as we reasonably may,
that he is mom "Where the wicked eease from troubling
and the weary are at rest."

ty, Pa., died suddenly at the camp of the Provost Guard,
January the 6th, 1565, aged 20 years, 4 months and 9
days. ,
WHEREAS. It has pleased Almighty God, suddenly to
remove from our midst JAMES H. GOGLEY, our fel
low soldier and companion, we, the members of Co. E,
186 th Reg't. P. V.
Resulted, That in the sudden death of JAMES H.
GOGLEY, our fellow associate, we have lost a genial
companion, a true friend and a brave soldier, who at all
times was ready to discharge his duty.
Resulted, That while we deeply regret to part with
one whose manly virtues we desire to imitate, and whose
character for christian propriety adorned his profession,
yet we bow to the will of him who doeth all things well.
Resulted, That we deeply sympathise with his bereav
ed parents, brothers, and sisters in their affliction, and
can only direct them to the Throne of Grace, where alone
smitten hearts can find comfort.

SATISFACTORY PROOF HAVING BEEN 0810

suade drafted men from reporting under pretence and
promise of furnishing them substitutes and for other
reasons, it is hereby announced that in future all drafted
tuen are expected and required to report according to
notice, and that any who fail in this, for insufficient
cause, will be adjudged deserters, and to have forfeited
the privilege of substitution. Hereafter, persons coun
seling drafted men not to report, upon any pretext what
ever, will be summarily arrested and have meted out to
them the penalties of the law enacted for the punishment
of such offenders.

persons liable to draft, and who intend to furnish sub
stitutes if drafted, will set the importance of coining pro
vided with the same '-n the day fixed for them to report.
The necessities of the service and the instructions to this
office, require that hereafter, execpt for peculiar and over
ruling reasons, no furloughs be granted to drafted men.

The property of this company is all owned in tee a tin
pie and is all paid for, and consists Of the following tracts:
Ist. That valuable island, known a the "Lower Stump
Creek Island," containing 2 acres and 93 perches, situated
in the Allegheny river, at the mouth of the Clarion river.
Go this island a derrick was erected in the spring of 1861,
and att engine placed on the grounds, hurt tne war break
ing out, the parties sold off and enlisted.
gd. The "Upper Stump Creok Island," situated but a
.few rods above the lower island, curtaining 4 acres and
■JO.perches, 4 acres of which arc owned by (his company,
on which are erected a house, stable, Ac. Neither of these
is liable to.overflow, and both are well protected by
sfeao and trees agiinct washing. By reference to the map
oftFeanfylViuiitfc it will be observed that the Clarion riv
er empties into the Allegheny at a point due south from
W! Greek, and as oil is found at Frecport, on this line
tor'liec'soaih, we have every reason to believe that these
isl'anw are in the very centre of the great oil belt of Penn
syhaiia. Beside# all this, they lie far below the coal
measures, .
The c,.iAp.'i,y also owns 1 acre and 61 perches of land
about 5} miles above the upper island, at the mouth of
Ritehey Ren. near the town ot Emlenton, Venango Co.,
Pa., upon which is the celebrated Fox and Wide! well,
with engine, derrick, building, Ac., Ac., and well bor
ed to the 4Npih of <2O feet. This well was tubed at 350
feet, and bra f-w hours pumping yielded about one bar
rel of oil. but the proprietors detefßiined to sink it deep
er, and the cotppanv will, as soon as possible, sink this
ivell if neces ary to the depth of 1000 feet or more. The
VStiyup islands Company" ownes the I thole interest in
well, fixtures and laml and "Development Fund" will be
amply stofeStat to eotupletejlbU well and sink others in
the Islands. There is besides, room enough on the
Ritehey Run tract for wells.
The property owned by'tliii-company is all prttbtieal
boring territory, and persoSfe acquainted with the lands
along the Allegheny and other oil streams, will bear tes
timony that we have more pn-tticnl boring surface
face than nitpy of the 300 acre tracts contain
In addition to this, one basis will compare favpettbiy,
with the large majority of Companies, whose Capital
stock is five timw as great. -f
The service? of an efficient Superintendent have been
obtained, and the Directors are determined to prosecute
operations vigorously.

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 Hooftand's German Bitters. During
along and tedious session of Congress, pressing andoner
ous duties, nearly prostrated me. A kind friend suggest
ed the nsepf 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. Floresce.

lam the recipient from you of one of the greatest fa
vors thai, can he conferred upon man, viz: that cf health.
For many years 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 be completely eradicated.
I often inwardly thank you for such a valuable specific
and, whenever I have an opportunity, cheerfully recom
mend it, with full confidence in its reliability.
Truly yours,
JoHX B. WICKERSHAM.

Messrs. Jones <t Evans—Gentleman: — My mother-in.
law has been so greatly benefitted by your Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters that I concluded to try it myself. I find it to
be an 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 your Bitters has given me ease when every
thing else had failed. Yours truly, Julidr Lee.
From the Hon. JACOB BROOM,
Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863.
Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to tho effec
produced by the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, in
mv family, I have no hesitatien in saying that it has been
highly beneficial. In one instance, a case of dyspepsia of
thirteen years' standing, and which had become very dis
tressing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, the sec
ond affecting 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 1 find it o
be an unequalled tonic, and sincerely recommend its use
to the sufferers.
Truly yours, JACOB BROOM,

Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen: | I have recently
b en laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion,
accom panied by a prostration of tha nervns system,
numerous remedies were recon mended by riends, 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 'hem. I must confess that I had
an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and
one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to be to palm
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. Upon learning that
yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with
happy effect. Its actio* was not upon only the stomach,
but upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying.
I feel that I have derived great and permanent benefit from
the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully j?',
