frdfsri faijttim. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1865. TO OUR FRIENDS. The war has drawn rapidly to a close, and public questions are becoming more profound ly important and interesting than ever they were before. Not only the adjustment of the terms of peace, and the future constitutional relations of the states, but all the momentous measures of finance and taxation will need to be discussed within the next four years. No citizen will be able to make up his mind in telligently on these subjects without the aid of the newspapers, which have now become the great forum of public discussion. On all public questions the IJTQBIEER has clear, decided, well-established piueiples, which it means to uttrir with its usual bold ness and freedom. The preservation of our S'ationUl lutegaity at all hazards; Universal Liberty for all men: Freedom of Speech, and of the Press; the Limitation of the Powers of the Government; Economical and Equal Legislation; and the Just Distribution of Taxes —these are among the leading prin ciples that it designs to maintain with all its ability and zeal, yet with moderation and judgment. Its ton#, as heretofore, will be outspoken, candid and fearless, but in strict observance of all the recognised courtesies of public debate. We trust that the principles and aims of the INQUIRER will ensure from its old friends the same generous support and encourage ment which they have given it in years past, and that its usefulness will be greatly increas ed by a large accession of new names to its list of subscribers.

AND CONNELLSVILLE RAILROAD. —The engineers on the eastern end of this important work, left here last week to make the necessary surveys between this point and Cham bersburg. The surveys Between this place and the summit of the .Al legheny mountain have been perfected. Three different routes have been thoroughly exam ined; the Northern, or Deeter's run, the cen tral, or Dry Ridge, and the Southern or Bridgeport. The latter route leads through the celebrated Sand Patch TunneL This route it is said, can be graded with less expense' than either of the others. Whether this is the opinion of the engineers, we are not pre pared to say. Should it be adopted, and the road built, there will not be much less than forty miles of railroad in this county. If this does not open up the hidden treasures in our vailies. hills and mountains, we are not pre pared to say what will. It will take the engineer-corps, which lelt here, at least two month# to complete the survey to Chambersburg. Until this is done, we cannot expect anything to be done, in the way of putting it under contract. We had thought, t in all probability, the short distance between this point and Mount Dallas, would have beet put nnder contract immediately ujton the opening up of Spring, but the Com pany have determined otherwise. It must be evident to the Company that Bedford, until the completion ot the work, will be one of the most important points along the road. The completion of the Bedford railroad, by this Company, at an early moment, would re move all the doubts of those who have per sistently asserted that the road wctold never be put under contract, and that the Pennsyl vania Bailroad only desire to occupy the route to exclude any other enterprising com pany which might desire to build a great, rival road. We earnestly hope that the surveys will be completed as soon as possible, and that the Company will put it under contract without delay. There is certainly no more opportune moment than the present; the war has ended, thousands are thrown out of em ployment, labor is becoming cheap, and the country is well supplied with money. We pray that the Company will go to work at once and relieve our anxiety. THE Cti.' FEVER."— This oleaginous fevef has broke, pot most fearfully in the upper end of this county. Every farm in Harman's Bottom has been leased that can be leased. A number have been endeavoring to get up companies to bore. Tnose familiar with the oil indications are positive that they are quite as good as they are in Western Pennsylvania. Let a company be formed, without delay, to devetope this region. If there is oil in this county, let us know it. We have many re sources of wealth in Bedford county, and to those already developed, let us add oil, not on the brain, but real, genuine, oil. MARRIED.

May 2*i, 1865.-it £ <■■■ * A RICHMOND correspondent of the Phila delphia lnqu\r*v. says: I have felt it incum bent upon me. on one or two occasions, to •call the attention of the public to the fact that the Richmond press w under the con trol of the same men who managed it during the war, and before the war, when it was filled with flaw* appeals against the nation's life. There is not one single man publish ing a newspaper in Richmond who was not identified with the rebellion as a supporter, and most of them instigators. With one single exception the editors arc all in the same category. COL. A. K. McClure, whose property was destroyed by the rebels at the burning of Chainbersburg, offers a reward of SI,OOO for the arrest and delivery to the authorities of FraDklin county. ofF. W. Smith, the son of the renowned ' 'Extra Billy,'' and a Cap tain of the rebel army. This F. W. Smith is the man who ordered the destruction of Colonel McClure'a property last summer. A NATIONAL cemetary is to be established at Antiejtam, and the Legislature of Mary land has appropriated 37,000, expecting eacli State whose soldiers tell in the tight to appropriate as much. A suitable lot of ten acres has been pnrahased on a jiart of the battle field, near the town of Sharpsburg, embracing the ground occupied by General Lee as a signal station, from which the whole of the ground fought over can be viewed. FROM MISSISSIPPI. —A New Orleans dis patch mentions that the rebel Governor of Mississippi has called the State Legislature together, and has announced that the laws of'tho Trill, tor the present, remain in force. We think he will soon find that his services are no longer needed, and that prob ably his presence will be required at Wash ington or Fort Lafayette. THE PLUNDER.—Nothing is said of the gold Jeff. Davis was supposed to have ta ken with him from Richmond, and the im pression is that none of it fell into our pos session. There was a rumor some time ago that a considerable portion of the money had been left in North Carolina, and still another rumor that it had been divided among bis escort THKRE is on duty at Fort Washington, on the Potomac, a veteran soldier. Sergeant Joseph Cameron, who has been in the ser vice tjincc 1806. two years longer than Gen. Scott. He has been <>n duty at Fort Wash ington constantly during the last thirty-six years. Sergeant Cameron was born on the 19th of April, 1790. A SENSIBLE CONCLUSION. —The London Times has come to the conclusion that much mischief has been caused by the utterance in England of "loose ideas' respecting the United States. It seeks, therefore, to make some amends for its own delinquencies, by devoting a leader to unqualified praise of the statesmanlike qualities of which Presi dent Johnson, in its judgment, shows him self possessed. Miss DELIA WEBSTER, who was imprison ed in Kentucky, twenty years ago, on a charge of harboring escaped slaves, and has since been the subject of repeated persecu tion from Kentucky Judges, has offered to give one hundred acres of land, situated on the Ohio river, opposite Madisonville, In diana. for the establishment of 'Lincoln Col lege, ' A movement has been put on foot at Boston to carry the plan into effect. The New York Herald, the great organ of Democracy, is out in favor of negro suf frage, and insists that the negro must be enfranchised "as the last clinching blow to treason." How are you, Copperheads? You may follow, but you are a little two late to Iftnl. SPECIAL NOTICES.' Happiness or Misery! That is the Question.

S. 7-80 # ——— THIRD SBE-I;ES, *230.000,000. By authority of the Secretary of the Ti-easury, the undersigned, the General Subscription Agent for the sale of United States Seenrities, i .-ffera to the public the third series of Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three.tonths per cent, interest per annum, known as the 7-30 LOAN. These notes are issued under date of July 15, 1865, and are payable three years from that date in currency; or arc convertible at the option of the holder into U. S. 5-20 SIX PER CENT. GOLD BEARING BONDS. These bonds are now worth a handsome premi um and are exempt, as are all Government Bonds, from State, County, and Municipal taxation, which adds from one to three per cest. per annum to their value, according to the rate levied upon other property. The interest is paynble semi-an nually by coupons attached to each note, which may be out off and sold to any bank or banker. The Interesl at 7 per eenl. aiuouutu to One cent per day on a SSO note. Two cents " " " §IOO " Ten " " " #3OO " •AO " " " SIOOO 1 " " SSOOO " Notes of all the denominations nuned will be promptly furnished upon receipt of lubscriptions. The Notes of this Third Series are precisely sim ilar in form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties already sold, except that the Government reserves to itself the option of paying interest in gld coin at 6 per cent., instead of 7 3-10ths in cxrrency. Subscribers will deduct the interest in curnncj up to July 15th, at the time when they subacid)*. The delivery of the notes of this third series of the Seven-thirties will commence on the Ist of June, and will be made promptly and continuous ly after that date. The slight change made in the conditions of this THIRD SERIES affects only the matter of inter est. The payment in gold, if made, will be equiv alent to the currency interest of the higher rate. The return to specie payments, in the event of which only will the option to pay interest in Gold be availed of, would so reduce and equalize prices that purchases made with six per cent, in gold would be fully equal to those made with seven and three-tenths per cent, in currency. This is the OXLY LOAN IX MARKET now offered by the Government, and its superior advantages make it the Great Popular Loan or the People. Less than $230,000,000 of the lan authorized by the last Congress are now in the market. This amount, at the rate at which it is being absorbed, will all be subscribed for within sixty days, when the notes will undoubtedly com mand a premium, as has uniformly been the case on closing the subscriptions to otler Loans. In order that citizens of every tovn and section of the country may be afforded facilities for taking the loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the country have generally agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom they have confidence, and who only are to be res ponsible for the delivery of the notes for which they receive orders.

Gentlemen.—Having stated it verbally to you, I have no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I ex perienced marked benefit from your Hoofland'a tie-man Bitters. During a long and tedious session of Congress, pressing and onerous duties nearly prostrated me. A kind friend suggested the use of the 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. FLORENCE. From John B. Wickersham, 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 est favors that can be conferred upon man, vi*: that of health. For many years have I suffered from one of the most annoying and debilitating complaints that the human family can bo 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 to remain until I was induced to try Hoofiand'a Ger 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 yourt, JOHN B. WICKERSHAM. New York, Feb. 2, 1864. Froia Julius Lee, Esq., firm of Lee A Walker, the mostextensive Music Publishers in the Umi tod States, No. 722 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. February Bth, 1864. Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentleman: —My mother-in-law has been so greatly benefitted by your Hoofland'e German 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 yonr Bitters has given me ease when everything else had failed. Yours truly, JULIUS LKK. From the Hon. JACOB BROOX, Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863. Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the effect produced by the use of HooHand's German Bitters, in my family, I have no hesitation in say ing that it has been highly beneficial In one in stance, a case of dyspepsia of thirteen years' stand ing, and which had become very distressing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, the second effecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has con firmed the cure, 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, 1707 Spruce St. Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of 12th Baptist Church Philadelphia, December 20th, 1803. Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen: —I hare recently been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of the nervns 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 had tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bit ters indnoed 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, 1 fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learn ing that yonre 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 from the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully yous, W. P. SEIGFRIBD, No. 234 6 heck amnion St. From the Rev. Thos. Winter, P. P., Pastor of Rorough Baptist Chnrch Dr. Jackson t —Dear Sirt—*■! ieel it doe to your excellent preparation, Hoofland German Bitters, to add my testimony to the deserved reputation it has obtained. 1 have for years, at times, been troubled with great disorder in my head and ner vous system. I was advised by a friezid to try a bottle of your German Bitters, I did so, and have ezprienoed great and unexpected relief; my health has been sverv materially benefited. I confidently recommend tie article where I meet with cases similar t<> my own, and hare been assured by many of their good effects. Respectfully yours, T. WIKTEK, Roxborough, Pa. From Rev. J. a. Hrrman, of the German Reformed Church. Kutxtown, Berks County, Pa. Dr. C. Jackson; —Respected Sir : —I have been troubled with Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and have never used any medicine that did meas much good as Hoofland's Bitters.
