We are sorry that a want of space in
this week's paper compels us to exclude a

him again.
FOUND.— The Copperhead flag which the
Union men were accused with stealing last
Fall, was found yesterday, under a sofa in the
Parlor of the Bedford Hotel. It is needless
to say who secreted it.
g®~We have been requested to say that
Mr. Howard's Dramatic and Musical Compa
ny will exhibit at the Court House to-night.
Mr. Howard is the lessee of the Cumberland
Theatre where his Company has held forth
for the last eight months.
IgfWe had the pleasure of taking our
young friend Capt. Josiah Hyssong, of Co.
H, 55th Reg. P. V., by the hand a few days
since. He was severely wounded some time
ago but is rapidly recovering. We are confi
dent he makes a good officer.
BfetT" Persons handing in advertisements
will be charged with them, unless otnerwise
directed. Professional gentlemen handing in
Auditor's Notices will be charged with them,
and in no instance will we depart from this
rule. When they collect their own fees they
must also collect printers' fees, or do as we
have done, time and again, loose them.
gjarAn order has been issued by the War
Department, placing the 186 th and 187 th
Regiments of Pennsylvania Volunteers at this
and other points along the border. One
company of the 187 th has already arrived
here and encamped above town in Mr. Sam
uel Defibaugh's grove. This precaution is
taken to prevent evil disposed persons from
making sudden inroads across the border in
to this and other counties of this State and
Maryland.
8®" We stated last week that Mrs. Imler
who was arrested and incarcerated for the
mnrder of her child is a soldier's widow. We
were misinformed, and therefore take so much
of our statement back. She was brought up
on a writ of Habeas Corpus before His Hon
or, Judge King, on last Tuesday, and we un
derstand, remanded for further hearing. We
have no opinion to express in regard to her
guilt or innocence.
"THAT WHICH IS BRED IN THE BONE WILL
APPEAR THROUGH THE FLESH." —We are in
formed that a "secesh" woman in St. Clairs
ville, Bedford county, displayed her breeding
by tying crape upon her dog, when the news
was received of the assassination of our la
mented President. This female has certainly,
through ignorance and political malice, ex
ceeded all the Northern traitors who have so
disgraced themselves by exhibiting their dis
respect for the Nation's great martyr.'
The above we clip from the Hollidaysburg
Register. We have made strict inquiry to as
certain the truth of the averment, and it is
with shame that we are compelled to admi
its correctness. It is said that the dog even
spurns his mistress. But this is only another
instance of the barbarism of the Copperhead
party in this county. By their works shall ye
know them.
THE CAPTURE AND DISPOSAL OF JEFF—
HE OF THE PETTICOAT. —A worthy friend
hands us the following which we think highly
practical. The idea if carried out, would be
an immense source of revenue. All his Cop
perhead friends in the country would feel in
duty bound to pay their respects to the great
fallen. And he having iniated the new order
of the petticoat, it would be an additional at
traction to see the man who said after "all this
destruction of life and property we will
be compelled to acknowlede the Southern
Confederacy," in company with his followers,
robed in these
"Garments of a mystical sublimity,
No matter whether russet, silk, or dimity,"
wending their way with visages long and seedy
to pay their respects to the man who they
have always claimed was a prodegy of chival
ry and magnanimity. Oh ! wouldn't we en
joy it. Editors generally get free tickets, but
rather than any body's feelings should be
hurt, we will pay the dollar and think it a
good investment. But read our friends sug
gestions:
MESSRS. EDITORS: I see by the papers that
Jeff. Davis is captured. I infer that it is {rue
as it is official, and don't doubt but that it
will he confirmed by the Bedford Gazette
of week after next. Without waiting for the
above paper, we will concede that the chival
ric "President" has been arrested and will
be found guilty of treason, if not, of being
accessary to the assassination of our late
worthy President. If found guilty, the sen
tence of the Court, and the sanction of the
civilized world will be that he shall hang by
the neck until dead."
But is a man who has made so much mis
chief to be let off so easy ? A man who has
starved thousands of our patriotic people, who
has sacrificed thousands of human lives upon
the battle field, and who has done our coun
try incalculable mischief, only that he might
gratify a treasonable ambition, deserves not
to have his own private feelings consulted
with regard to the manner of his "taking off"'
nor with regard to the use to which his body
may be put before he is called upon to doff
his petticoat I suggest that when he is a
"tried and convicted traitor," and prior to
the day appointed for his execution, that he
he conveyed from one point to another over
our great country and exhibited, just as cap
tured, an admittance fee of—say one dollar—
to be charged as reveuue to the government,
to go toward paying off the great debt now
hanging over, and brought upon it by this ■
fiend upon earth and his followers. I would
also suggest that the exhibition be accompan
ied by a side show, charging an additional j
fee for revenue, in which the rope with which
he is to be hung can be seen. The rope to be j
of cotton in order that the world may have
an optical demonstration of Jeffs well known
idea that Cotton is King. Knowing that '
your paper has an extensive circulation, I
give these suggestions in order that they may
reach the projier authorities, if yon consider
them worthy a place in your columns.
EULOGY ON TUB DEATH OF PRESIDENT LIN
COLN.—The following eulogy on the life and
public services of Abraham Lincoln delivered
by Col. Stover, of the 184 th Regiment, Pa.
Yols., was reported by Adjt. Wm. H. H.
Ralston, of South Woodberry township, this
county. There is a company of Bedford
county boys in this Regiment. We commend
the eulogy to the perusal of our many readers:
Eulogy on the death of Abraham Lincoln,
iMte President of the United States, de
livered to the \B4th Pa. Vols., April the
19 th, the day oj his funeral, by Col. John
11. Stover:
This day is our land stricken with sadness,
and the people who so lately rejoiced over the
triumph of our arms are mourning like chil
dren mourning the death of their parent.
Houses lately illuminated now wear the black
shroud of mourning. Strong men weep, and
all bow in humiliation and sorrow. Gloom,
like the thick mists of the morning, hangs
over the whole country ; for "Know ye not
there is a prince and a great man fallen this
day in Israel ?" All that is earthly, all that
is mortal of Abraham Lincoln, late our be
loved President, will this day be consigned to
the tomb. Struck by the assassin's hand on
Friday the 14th inst., he lingered until Satur
day when his soul took its flight to the God
that gave it. It is just and meet that on this
day of our national calamity the plough should
stand idle in the furrow—the anvil should
not resound to the busy stroke of industry—
and the musket should remain untouched on
the stack—while all pause to think of him
that has fallen, and drop a tear of tribute to
his memory.
Death in a household is a severe affliction,
j The great enemy of time always sails over
seas of tears, and his path is strewn with
sorrows, troubles aud broken hearts. But
what are individual afflictions compared with
National calamities ? It is true a wife is
widowed, and children are made orphans, but
the soldier has lost his best friend, the peo
ple have lost their chief ruler, and the coun
try its main hope. The life as well as the
death of Abraham Lincoln is a fruitful theme
for thought. Born of humble and obscure
parents, with scarcely more than the rudiments
of an education, his approach to manhood
found him engaged in the humble though hon
est capacity of manual labor. Tempest-tos
sed on the sea of time, he nobly battled
against the elements, until fortune relaxed
her iron grasp, and he arose in position and
esteem. If he had not the advantages of
classical care, he was well versed in the great
book of human nature, and what was lost in
the theoretical was fully supplied in the prac
tical. In his early years little did he dream
what a mighty influence he was destined to
bear on the history of his country. How
strange are fate's decrees. The youth whose
chief ambition was to address a jury of his
neighbors, in later years spoke to the nations
of the earth, and one of his last nets was a
proclamation that will startle old Europe.
As a citizen he was honest, charitable and up
right. But how shall we rank him as a states
man ? His simplicity was almost childlike,
amiahle aud conciliatory in deportment, his
firmness was that of everlasting hills; courting
no favors, honor sought him ; not ambitious
in power, he shrunk from no responsibility.
One of the people, he was identified with their
interests. They placed him in position, and
they retained him there. As a legislator, he
foreshadowed events which iu his own days
almost amounted to prophecy. As a ruler,
leniency was coupled with firmness, justice
was tempered with forgiveness : but the in
terests of his country were always uppermost
in his heart.
How many of us who differed with him
four years ago, now uphold the doctrines
which he then advocated ? If he had honest
enemies it was because his ideas were years
in advance of his age. Those loved him most
who knew him best. As President the peo
ple testified their approbation of his course
by his triumphant re-election. So enshrined
had he become in their hearts, that if a na
tion's tears were pearls, this day a monument
of jewels would rise over his grave to the
very heavens. Assuming the reins of Gov
ernment when strong men's lips quivered,
cheeks were blanched, and men looked into
each other's eyes only to read distrust, he
gave form to chaos, and brought order out of
confusion. His practical common sense grasp
ed shattered truths, and like the lightning
flash they assumed shape. Believing that all
men should be free, he made them jree ! and
the day is not far distant when emancipation
shall be considered the crowning act of Amer
ican legislation. We waged war to construct,
not to subjugate. The repentant rebels al
ways found pardon at his hands. He inau
gurated anew system in American politics, as
a ruler his type was essentially his own; careful
study and anxious thought marked his every
public act. Convinced that startling changes
must be made, he did not spring them sud
denly upon the people, but as if by a silken
cord he led the public masses to think his own
thoughts. Nor did he claim infallibility in
anything. His language when submitting a
certain great act was, "This is my plan, I do
not know that it is best, and shall ceriainly
change it when a better one is submitted."
But who of us, who of all the land, can im
prove his public policy ? Peaceful relations
were sustained with foreign powers, when
they but wished for an opportunity to declare
war. An exhausted treasury was replenished
and while a most desperate war was waged in
suppression of a rebellion, agriculture was
sustained, industry was stimulated, and the re
sources of our country were more fully devel
oped. Manufactories flourished and the sails
of our commerce yet whiten every sea.
Though unskillful Generals lost battles, the
public did not lose confidence. The ship of
State was safely steered through all her per
ils. The old broad penant of universal eman
cipation yet proudly unfurled to the breeze at
the mainmast, while just as she entered port
her captain was struck by an assassin, and
those starry emblems are this day at halt
mast. Killed by traitor's plot they destroyed
the hand that was inditing their pardon.
Treason so diabolical has its fitting conclusion
in assination.
The minions of the rebellion, North and
South, have erased and forgotten the name of
Washington, and substituted that of
Cataline arid Charlotte Corday. In Vice
President Johnson they have a sterner man
to deal with; he will audit a feafful account
of which the last item shall not be the least.
The American people will now exclaim with
the Psalmist, "0 Daughter of Babylon, who
art to be destroyed, happy shall he be that
taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the
stones." Weep, then, this day, widows and
orphans, for he comforted the husbandless
and ministered to the fatherless ! Weep,
men of the North and South, for he was your
true friend 1 Weep, statesmen, for the pillar
of the land has fallen ! Weep, soldiers, for
he loved you as David did Jonathan! Sons
and daughters of bondage, let your lamenta
tions be loud, for the cold dews of death rests
on the form, and motionless is the arm that
broke youi shackels !
He lived just long enough to see his efforts
crowned with success —he died the death of a
christian —and his end was peace. Well
might he say. "I have fought the good fight
—I have finished my course —I have kept the
faith —henceforth there is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness, which the Lord the
righteous judge shall give me that day; and
not to me only but unto all them that love his
appearing."
DEATH OF GEN. A. P. HILL. —The following
letter in regard to the death of Gen. A. P.
Hill, from our mutual friend, Lieut. C. P.
Calhohn, will be read with pride by many of
our patriotic citizens. Bedford county truly
has turned out as brave and daring soldiers
as ever carried a musket or drew a sabre :
DANVILLE, Va., May 5, 1865. „
EDITORS INQUIRER: —The following taken
from the N orris town Herald and Free Press,
of April 27th, I hope you will publish, that
your readers may know that Bedford county
can boast as brave patriots as ever fired a gun
in defence of their country.
"Just after the assault upon the rebel works,
April 2d, some of our men penetrated the
country far as the Southside Railroad, and
two men of Co. "F," named Corp. John W.
Mauk and private Daniel Wolford were among
the number. They tore up two rails of the
track, and when returning to the command,
they encountered two rebel mounted officers,
who at once demanded their surrender. It
was, however, refused, and Corp. Mauk shot
one of them dead. Private Wolford shot at
the other, but he escaped apparently unhurt.
The men returned to their regiment and re
ported their adventure. It appears that in
formation gained from rebel prisoners gives
the circumstances of Gen. A. P. Hill's death
as similar to that of the officer shot by Corp.
Mauk, and it is officially believed by our Bri
gade, Division and Corps commanders that
the noted rebel officer above named met his
well deserved death at the hands of a soldier
of the 138 th.
The names of these men have been forwar
ded in the commanding officer's report, and
they are recommended for a suitable reward
for their meritorious services."
Since the above was written additional evi
dence has established without doubt the cor
rectness of the statement. It however appears
that it was only an Orderly that accompanied
A. P. Hill and he was severely though not
mortally wounded. Corp. Mauk is from
Cumberland Valley and private Daniel Wol
ford from Londonderry township. May a
grateful country reward them, as well as all
their brave comrades who participated in
the crowning successes of the war, ancl the
final overthrow of the rebellion.
Yours,
C. P. CALHOUN,
Ist Lieutenant Co. "F."

April 20th, ab Chesapeake Hospital, Fortress
Monroe, Va., Sergeant DANIEL A. HESS, of Co.
11, 55th Reg't P. V., aged 27 years, 9 months and
7 days.
Sergeant Hess entered the army in August, 1861,
was with his regiment in South Carolina about
two years and.a half. In Feb., 1864, he re-enlist
ed, and having been granted a short furlough,
visited his friends.
Notwithstanding the strongest attachments,
which render life pleasant, he would not forsake
his country in her hour of need; and, bidding his
loved ones adieu, he hastened again to the scenes
of danger and death. He was ever at his post;
when duty called he was always ready.
He was wounded severely at the battle of Cold
Harbor, Juno 3d, 1564, but returned to the regi
ment as soon as his wounds would permit. He
received his death-wound at the battle of High
Bridge, near Burkeville, Va., April 7th, by aminie
ball, which, passed through his left arm, entered
the side and lodged in the lungs, lie was taken
to the Chesapeake Hospital on the 15th ult., where
every attention was paid to his wants, both spir
itual and teaiperal, that earthly aid could render.
Though he fell, by a traitor's hand, on the very
eve of promotion, and when his prospects, for the
epeedy consummation of his fondest hopes, were
the brightest, yet his friends have the assurance,
from those who attended him, that: "he has been
infinitely adranccd from earthly ranks."
Ilis remains were embalmed, brought home, and
deposited beneath the very sod over which he so
often trod, in early years. And though no sculp
tured urn nor costly monument marks the spot,
yet his memory trill ever be fresh in the hearts of
those who knew him best. M.

BOWLES, formerly of this place,—in the 34th
year of his age.
BUFFALO, N. Y., May 15, 1865.
At a meeting of the associates in business,
of the late Capt. John C. Bowles, at the Wes
tern Union Telegraph Office, in this city, J.
R. Drake, Esq., was called to the chair, and
Mr. James H. Barker was appointed Secre
tary.
After a few appropriate remarks by Mr.
Drake, a committee of three was appointed
to draft resolutions expressive of the feeling
of the meeting, who on deliberation reported
tho following resolutions which were unani
mously adopted:
Whereas. It has pleased the Almighty Ru
ler of the Universe to remove from our midst
our much esteemed brother operator, John
C. Bowles, in the prime of his manhood and
strength, and with the prospect of a long and
useful life before him, thus giving us another
warning of the uncertainty of human life and
expectations ; and as we wish to testify our
respect aud esteem for ore whom we have all
so well known and highly respected— There
fore
Resolved, That we sincerely condole with
the bereaved parents of our departed friend,
and while we sympathize with their loss, we
trust that he has gone to that better world
"where the wickeu cease from troubling and
and the weary are at rest," and that they may
have faith to look up to our Heavenly Father
and say "The Lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away ; Blessed be his Holy name."
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutioi is
be engrossed, signed by the employees i n
this office and tendered to his afflicted parents ;
also that a copy be turuished to the daily pa -
pers, also to the Bedford papers for publica- ■
tion.
Resolved, That we attend the funeral in a
body.

WHEREAS, It has pleased an AU Wise Prov
idence to remove from among us, after a brief
but painful illness, Captain .TOHX C. BOWLES,
the beloved and respected head of this organ
ization; therefore, lie it
Resolved, That as a company, we sorely
feel the loss of one who has proved himself a
fentleman and a soldier —who has always
een alive to the best interests of the Compa
ny, preferring its success and advancement in
the object of his organization to personal con
venience and promotion —who estimates its
honor and reputation above all to be kept sa
cred in all our purposes.
Resolved, As individual members we shall
miss his cheerful countenance —his hearty
good will for the success of all our undertak
ings, and the generous impulses of his nature
which atti acted all of his command towards
him as a man and a brother in whom we
found a generous friend anda confiding officer.
Resolved, That the intercourse of the sev
eral years with which Capt. Bowles has been
identified with this company has endeared
him to us by many recollections. Now he is
called to swell the ranks of his noble com
rades for which he has mourned with us, we
drop the silent tear to his memory, and sub
mit to the ruling of that kind Providence who
afflicts but for our good.
Resolved, To the friends who are called to
mourn the loss of an only son, we feel how in
adequate are the use of words to express a
little of the sympathy we would offer them in
their affliction. By our loss we measure
theirs and can only point them to the true
source of consolation in the presence of him
who has said "those whom he loveth he chas
teneth.'"
Resolved, That the period for which our
rooms are draped in mourning be extended
thirty days, and the members of the Company
wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days,
and a copy of these resolutions be furnished
by the Secretary to the parents of Captain
Bowles, to the daily papers of this city, also to
the Bedford papers for publication.

FROM UH-g -HON. THOS. B. FLORENCE:
Washington, January 1,1864.
OedCWcda.—Having stated it verbally to you,
I have I do hesitation, in writing the fact, that I ex
perienced marked benefit from yonr Hoofland's
German Bitters. During a long and tedious session
of Congress, pressing and onerous duties nearly
prostrated me. A kind friend suggested the use
0: the preparation I have named. I took his ad-
Vice, and the result was improvement of health,
renewed energy, and that particular relief I so
much needed and obtained. Others may be sim
ilarly advantaged if they desire to be.
Truly your friend,
THOMAS B. FLOREHCE.
From John B. Wickersham, Esq., firm of Wick
ersham A Hutchison, the celebrated Manufac
turers of Fancy-Iron Works, 259 Cannl Sc.
I am the recipient from you of one of the great
favors that can be conferred upon man, vis:
that of health. For many years have I suffered
from one of thf most annoying and debilitating
complaints that the human family can be afflicted
with, Chronic Diarrhea.
During the long time I was suffering from this
diseaat!, I was attended by regular physicians, giv
ing me but temporary relief. The cause seemed to
remain until I was induced to try Hoofland's Her
man 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 recommend it, with full confidence in
its reliability.
Truly yours,
„ _ , „ Jo®!' B, WIC K ESS HAM.

Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentleman: My
mother-in-law has been so greatly benefitted by
rour Hoofland's German Bitters that I-concluded
to try it myself. I find it to be an invaluable tonie,
and unhesitatingly recommend it to all who are
suffer ng from dyspepsia. I have had that disease
in its most obstinate form—flatulence—for many
years, and your Bitters has given me ease when
everything else had failed. YoOrs tnfly,

From the Hon. JACOB BROOK,
PhSafleiphia, 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 have no hesitation in Sky
ing that it has been highly beneficial. In one In
stance, a case of dyflpepsiaof thirteen years' Stand
ing, and which bad become very distressing, the
use of one bottle gave decided relief, the second
effecting a enre, and the third, it seems, has con
firmed the cute, for there has been no symptoms of
its return for the last six years. In my individ
ual use of it 1 find it to be an unequalled tonic,
and sincerely recommend its use to the sufferers.
Truly yours, JACOB BROOM,

Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of lJth Baptist Church
Philadelphia, Decipher 26th, 1863.
Messrs. Jones A Evan's—Gentlemen:—l have
recently been laboring under the distressing effects
of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of
the nervus system. Numerous remedies were
recommended by friends, and some of them tested,
but without relief. Your Hoofland's German Bit
ters were recommended by persons who bad tried
'them, and whose favorable mention of the Bit
ters induced me also to try them. 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 learn
ing that yours was really a medicine preparation,
I took it with happy effect. Its action was not
upon only the stomach, but upon the nervous sys
tem, was prompt and gratifying. I feel that I
have derived_great and permanent benefit fronw the
use of a few bottles. Very respectfully yous,
W. D. SEIGFRIKD,

From the Rev. Thos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of
Borough Baptist Church
Dr. Jackson .-—Dear Sir:—l feci it due to your
excellent preparation, Hoofland German Bitters,
to add my testimony to the deserved reputation
it has obtained. I have for years, at times, been
troubled with great disorder in my head and ner
vous system. I was advised by a friend to try a
bottle of your German Bitters, I did o, and have
exprienoed great and unexpected relief; my health
has been every materially benefited. I confidently
recommend the article where I meet with eases
similar to my own, and have been assured by
many of their good effects.
Respectfully yours, T. Wnrrrs, Roxborough, Pa.
From Rev.J.S. Hrrman, of the German Reformed
Church, Kutxtown, Berks County, Pa.
Dr. C. Jackson; —Respected Sir :—I hare been
troubled with Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and
have never used any medicine that did mew
much good as Hoofland's Bitters. I am very
much improved in'health, after having taken •
bottles.
