BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1565.
To Whom it Concerns.
We are pressed for money. We respect
fully ask all indebted to us, to make pay
ment with as little delay as possible. We
.need not enter into details of our expenses—
even* body must know they have been very
heavy. We will simply state for the benefit
of the friends of the INQUIRER, that uuless
we very soon receive the amounts due us,
we may be seriously embarrassed in our
business; but if ever}' one who owes us,
will promptly pay, we shall get through the
present pressure without embarrassmeut.
UNION MEETING.
A meeting cf the Union men of Bedford countv
will be held in the Court House, on Tuesday eve
ning of Court week, for the purpose of appointing
a Delegate to the Statt Conveution to nominate
candidate's for Auditor and Surveyor General;

suing year. Let there he a foli turn out of all the
frtends of the Union.' W' 'WF
IJy order of the County Committee.
JOHN LUTZ, See'.
83?"By order of the War Department all
drafting and - recruiting has been stopped in
the loyal States. Wonder what some of the
tory organs will have to talk about now, since
/.hese terrible drafts have been stopped.
IMPORTANT TO DRAFTED MEN. —We have
been requested by the Provost Marshal ofl
this district to state that those men who were!
drafted and furloughed on account of having!
paid commutation in previous drafts, need!
not report again until further notice.
On hearing the news of the murder of
Abraham Lincoln all the Hags in the different
portions of our town, were festooned with
mourning. Strange to say, we did not see
a single flag displayed from a Copperhead
residence. No wonder men that desire the
dismemberment of the Union. an(Tthe success
of treason, could not but be delighted at the!
death of our rulers, as we understand some ofl
the hyena tribe so expressed themselves on!
last Saturday. '
THE M. E. CHURCH.— On Sunday last, al
large audience was present, morning and!
evening, to hear the newly appointed minis !
ter, Rev. W. M. Showalter. The church was!
draped in mourning, the pulpit being shroud!
Ed in the deepest black, in the rear of which!
was wreathed the Stai Spangled Banner,!
fringed with bordered crape, The whole ap I
pearance lent an air of sadness to the solemn!
occasion. The pastor feelingly alluded to!
this terrible national affliction, and prayed!
most earnestly that we might be delivered!
from all our troubles, and again have peace!
and unity restored to our sorrowing land. I
don Globe, which we cheerfully transfer to!
our coluins. The Major is, we, believe, ana I
tive of this county, and is well known to ma I
ny of our citizens:
"Major Wm. F. Johnston, formerly Cap I
tain of the Taylor Guards, was in town last!
week, adorning the uniform of his new and!
worthy position. He states that the boys are!
well, and are at present at Winchester, but!
have been on the tramp, marching and coun I
termarching, ever since in the service."
The Union Jubilee Postponed.—Theg
Assassination of President Lincoln. I
The celebration which was to have come off!
on Saturday lost, owing to the melancholy!
news of the death of the President, was, ol!
course, deferred. Although the day vaJ
very inclement, yet a goodly number of folks!
from the country had come to town, to join!
in the intended festivities. Notwithstandin HI
the general sadness that prevailed, a large!
concourse of citizens met at the Court House.!
w here the meeting was organized by the ap-!
pointment of our venerable citizen, DAVII!
PATTERSON, Esq.. as President, and John T.||
Keagy, Esq., as Secretary.
The Hon. JOHN CESSNA was then called
upon to address the meeting, who responded
in a powerful address, in which he dwell
chiefly upon the sudden, and calamitousevent
that had befallen the country. With inde
scribable pathos he referred to the mournful
and tragic death of our beloved President,
moving to sympathy the stoutest hearts, while
many eyes were suffused with tears. Indeed.l
while the eloquent speaker was recounting
the amiable life and conciliatory policy of the
President, and the fiendish cruelty of his
bloody assassin, we beheld men whose hearts
might well be supposed inflexible, burst into
a fllocd of uncontrollable grief.
With bitter scorn and withering indigna
tion did he refer to those public men, even in
our own town, by whose teaching and sympa
thy, the hand of tfeason was nerved to strike
the fatal blow. Never shall we forget the
thrilling emotion tijat crossed our mind, nor
the deep sense of indignation that was arous
ed within us, when we thought of the cow
ardly instigators of this inhuman outrage.
After the conclusion of Mr. Cessna's speech,
Wiiich was enthusiastically applauded, a num
ber ot our patriotic young-men sang several
*oul-stirring songs, aud the vejjt audience!
then slowly retired with renewed"' devotion to
our cause, and with firmer resolves to standi
by the flag of our Union.
Wednesday being the day of the funer
al of the late President, was very generally
observed by our citizens, all the places ofbns
iness being closed. Between the hours of
eleven and twelve all the bells in town were
tolled. Services were held in the Methodist,
Presbyterian, Lutheran, German Reformed,
and Catholic churches, all of which were
draped in mourning and appropriately decor
ated with flags and other national emblems.
Suitable addresses were delivered by the res-!
poctive pastors, which we are sorry we are
not able to lay before our readers.
The funeral decorations in the Presbyteri
an Church were singularly beautiful and ap
propriate and in exquisite taste. The front
of the pulpit was completely covered with
black cloth and upon this sombre ground was
testooned a large and beautiful silk flag, it in
turn being shaded aud partially obscured by
crape. The large gothic recess back of the'
i uipit was entirely filled with black drapery,®,
*hicb hung in graceful folds, the arch being*
also festooned with black and iD its centre'
hung the American shield, surmounted by a
gilded eagle with extended wings holding in
his beak the caape which formed the festoon.-
over the recess. Extended toward ihe centre
of the church, from each of the twelve col
iimns which support the gallery, was an
American flag, heavily draped in black, ma
king with the one on the pulpit, thirteen in
all, the number of the original states of the
Union. Over the outside entrance ol the
building was also a large flag draped in black.
The draping of the church, was, we are in
formed, done by Dr. Hickok, aided by t
number of ladies of the Congregation. Th(
entire affair reflected great credit on our pa
triotic townsman, Dr. Hickok, evincing a de
cided taste and a commendable degree of en
ergy.
The address of Mr. Sample was an admira
ble one. We cannot find space to notice i
as it deserves. It was eminently patrioti
and full of noble, christian thought. Th
sppaker bore a beautiful and just tribute b
the character and memory of our lamentei
chief magistrate, and with deep feelings allu
ded to our bereaved and afflicted country
The address was just what could have beei
expected from a talented and patriotic chris
tian gentleman.
RELIGIOUS. —A series of meetings were heli
at the German Reformed Church during Pas
-ion Week. On Sunday last the Sacraraen
of the Lord's Supper was administered. Th<
pastor, Rev. Mr. Heilman, was assisted Iv
the Rev. Cyrus Cort. who preached a numbe
of excellent sermons. Mr. Cort is a talentei
young minister and we but give expression t<
the judgement of those who heard him, whei
we say that his sermons were of a high orde:
and marked with ability.
ARMY CORK ESPON PENCE
RICHMOND, April Bth, 1865.
MR. EDITOR: —This being an idle day witl
me, I will, therefore, give you, in as brief :
manner as possible, some idea of the recep
lion of the Federal forces by the people ol
Richmond.
On the morning of the 3d, we (the Ist Bri
gade, 4d Division 24th Army Corps,) receiv
ed orders to pack up aud be ready to tnard
at a moment's warning. This being done, ii
a few minutes came the order "fall in,'' anc
and next came "forward," when we moved
off at a quick step in the direction of thr
Rebel works, and when within about 300 yard.-
of their fortifications we were halted, and or
dered to load our pieces, after which we agair,
moved forward, expecting every minute to
hear their guns open on us. But to our great
astonishment, and no less gratification, found
both guns and works deserted. They, how
ever, being kind enough to leave a uote.
which I saw a sergeant pick up, asking us
very politely to "come in, but not to stay."
After getting safely through the first line of
works we began to look anxiously for the sec
end line, which, on approaching was found
to be deserted like the first. It now became
evident to all. that the evacuation of Rich
mond was taking place, which thought su
stimulated the boys that they seemed to for
get that they had a heavy knapsack on their
back.
We were now within three miles of the
city, and yet not a "Reb" was to be seen,
except here and there a straggler, who was
ihe latter being the most likely. We now
passed through the third line of works, and
found then as the two former ones, only not
as strong. We did not halt to inspect them,
but "on to Richmond" went. Just at this
time and place, our already bright prospect -
of occupying the Rebel Capital were made
still brighter by a dispatch carrier who gallop-,
ed past us, shouting, "Richmond has just!
surrendered."
A few more minutes, and we found our
keives entering the lower part of the City by
Main street, which now became a scene of
excitement. The people came forth from
their houses to bid us welcome, some clap
ping their hands, others sending up cheer ]
that seemed to rend the air, whilst aged'
mothers came forward, and so filled were]
they with joy, that they burst into a resistless
flood of tears. Yet onward we proceeded !
and as we went, flags that the dust of four
years had settled on, were brought forth and
unfurled to the breeze, amid the deafening
sound of bursting shells from the burning ar J
senal, and the roaring of flames, and shout.-=
of myriads. On arriving near the centre oil
the city we halted, but for a moment only, as!
it did not appear safe to remain there long -
on account of the bursting shells und falling)
houses. We, the 206 th P. V., were then]
marched off to the northern outskirts of the!
::ity. where we unslung knapsacks, and then?
sent out patrolling parties through the city.!
whose duty was to order all citizens tv their)
homes, aud pick up stragglers. After these'
parties returned we were again marched back)
:o tho State House yard, where we eucampeuj
for the night, the Stars and Stripes floating!
proudly above us, upon the once Rebel eapi !
Lol. Yours respectfully.

Sketch of Andrew Johnson.
The Vice-President, and now President.|
has been for years prominent before the peo-i
pie. His high position as United Senator,!
md the honesty, integrity, and ability with?
which he discharged the duties of his stu J
;ion, have won for him the respect and ad I
miration of the whole country. He wu.-E
sroo in Raleigh, North Carolina, on the 29tl|
jf December, 1808, and is therefore onea
rear older than his lamented predecessor inS
>ffice. Like many of our greatest men, hi 3
parents were in indigent circumstances. (j
When he arrived at his tenth year thefl
state of the family finances compelled him|
o be apprenticed to a tailor, at which tradi S
le worked until he reached his seventeenth |
.car. He never attended any school, hut!
icqnired, however, a good common school!
:ducation bv studying alone. Having re-l
noved to 1 ennessee, he finally settled ail
ireenville. at which place he was elected!
Mayor in 1830. Ae served his term withl
ibility, and his constituents in 1835 sent hini|
is their representative to the State Legi.-lu-|
lure. After several re-elections he was cho-f
sen State Senator in 1841.
Before the conclusion of his term he wa-Q
inosen to represent his district in the Na-i
honal Congress, serving from 1843 to 1853,1
having given such satisfaction by his abilit vjj
md devotion to their interest, as to meri t''
lie complinfont of re-election tivesuoeessiv. £jj
terms. In 1853 he was chosen, after an ex-i
.iting Gubernatorial contest, to the high!
post of Executive of the Commonwealth.!
In 1857 he wan chosen by the Legislature!
United States Senator, lie served during!
lis Congressional term on the Committee
m Public Lands and District of Columbia.
He exhibited" wonderful business
md ahsadistinguished himself as an orator.c]
f His famous speech in favor of the Union,9
Jiade shortly before the adjournment of th |
rhirty-sixtii Congress, is one of the mo-t|
9
jable, eloquent, and elaborate orations in Con
fgressional records. On the secession of his
[State, he resigned the position of Senator,
bo accept the post of Military Governor of
[Tennessee. In his new position difficulties
(of the gravest nature continually arost, but
he managed, with an unprecedented tail, to
settle the vexed questions which continual
ly arose. In ISO 4 he was nominated by the
Baltimore Convention lor the post of Vice-
President of the United States, and was
triumphantly elected.

HEAI) WHO SAYS SO :
FROM THE HON. THOS. B. FLORENCE:
Washington, January 1,1864.
Gentlomen.—Having stated it verbally to you,
I have no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I ex
ipericneed marked benefit from your Hoofiand'c
German Bitters. During a long and tedious session
•f Congress, pressing and onerous duties nearly
prostrated mc. A kind friend suggested the use
of the preparation I have named. 1 took his ad
vice, and the result was improvement of health,
renewed energy, and that particular relief I sc
much needed and obtained. Others may be sim
ilarly advantaged if they desire to be.
Truly your friend,
THOHSS B. FLORENCE.
From John B. Wickcrsham, Esq., firm of Wick -
ersham A Hutchison, the celebrated Manufac
turers of Fancy-Iron Works, 259 Canal St.
I am the recipient from you of one of the great
st favors that can be conferred upon man, vis
that of health. For many years have I suffered
from one of the most annoying and debilitating
complaints that the human family can be afflicted
with, Chronic Diarrhea.
During the long time I was suffering from this
disease, I was attended by regular physicians, giv
ing me but temporary relief. The cause seemed tf
remain until I was induced to try Hoofland's tier
man Bitters. After the use of a few hottleajw
that valuable medicine, the complaint kjpAreWi
be completely eradicated.
I often Inwardly thank you for such a valuabl
specific and, whenever I hare an opportunity
cheerfully recommend is, with full confidence ii
its reliability.
Truly yours,
JOHN B. WICKERS naif.

February Sth, 1864.
Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentleman: —My
mother-in-law has been so greatly benefitted b\
your Hoofland's German Bitters that I concluded
to try it myself. I find it to be an invaluable tonic,
ind unhesitatingly recommend it to all whoar>
suffering from dyspepsia. I have had that disease
in its nio?t obstinate form—flatulence—for many
years, and your Bitters has given me ease when
everything else had failed. Yours truly,
JULIUS LEE.
From the Hon. JACOB BROOM,
Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863.
Gentlemen : In reply to your inquiry as to th<
effect produced by the use of Hoofland's Genual
Bitters, in my family, I have no besitatien in say.
ing that it has been highly beneficial. In one in
stance, a ease of dyspepsia of thirteen years' stand
ing, and which had become very distressing, th>
use of one bottle gave decided relief, the socom
effecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has con
firmed the cure, for there has been no symptoms ol
its return for the last six years. In my individ
ual use of it 1 find it to be au unequalled tonic
and sincerely recommend its use to the sufferers
Truly yours, JACOB BROOM,

Philadelphia, December 26th, 1863.
Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen:—l have
recently been laboring under the distressing effects
>f indigestion, accompanied by a prostration ol
the nervus system. Numerous remedies were
recommended by friends, and some of them tested.
>ul without relief. Your Hoofland's German Bit
ters were recommended by persons who had tried
ihem, and whose favorable mention of the Bit
ten induced me also to try them. I must confes:
that 1 had an aversion to Patent Medicines, frou
the "thousand and one" quack "Bitters" whost
>nly aim seems to be to palm off sweetened ant
drugged liquor upon the community, in a sly
way; and the tendency of which, I fear, is tt
make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learn
ing that yours was really a medicine preparation
I took it with happy effect. Its action was no
upon only the stomach, but upon the nervous sys
tew, was prompt and gratifying. I feel that
have derived great and permanent benefit from thi
ase of a ferf bottles. Aery respectfully yous,

roubled with great disorder in my bead and ner
,-ous system. 1 was advised by a friend to try ;
)ottle of your German Bitters, I did so, and hav<
j.vpricnoed great and unexpected relief; my healtt
