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.

SOUTHERN PENN'A. 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.

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.

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.

READ WHO SAYS SO :
FROM THE HON. THOS. B. FLORENCE:
Washington, January 1,1864.
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.

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,

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,

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

Dr. C. Jackson; —Respected Sir : —I have been

much good as Hoofland's Bitters. I am very
much improved in health, after having taken e
bottles. „
