OF THE
FOURTH OF JULY
Grand preparations are being made in Bed
ford for the celebration of our Nation's Birth
day, by the friends of
THE UNION AND THE GOVERNMENT.
Come one, come all, moved by a common
spirit—the sacsed fire ot patriotism—and let
us have a celebration worthy of the occasion.
Let the farmer, dismissing from his care the
labors of the day, leave the plough in the fur
row and his scythe upon the swath, and come
forth with banners streaming in the air, to
celebrate the sublime of event "a nation born to
God in one day"—the day of American Inde
pendence. Remember that never in the his
tory of our country was there more occasion
for rejoicing than there is now : our govern
ment has just passed triumphantly through
the perils and darkness of civil war, and is
now redeemed, disenthralled, regenerated and
purified. Let in then, giving thanks tr> tb©
God of battles who has thus preserved our na
tion, come and celebrate the 4th of July not
only as it was, but as it is.
A free dinner will be given to all. The
soldiers are especially and cordially invited.
Come soldiers and join your friends, who, du
ring the struggle through which you have just
passed, triumphant aud victorious always sym
pathized, encouraged and aided you in the
hardships and triais of battle, and who re
joiced with you in the time of victory, and
wept with you in the season of despair.
Col. John H. Filler will deliver the oration.
The Marshals of the day are Capt. Alex.
Compher, Chief Marshal: Assistants, Capt.
IV. Mullin, Lieut. John J. Barclay, Lieut.
Levi Smith and Lieut. John Horn.
The procession will format 9 o'clock. A. M.
in front of the Washington Hotel, will march
down Pitt Street to Richard Street, up Rich
ard to Penn, up Penn to East Street, down
East to Pitt Street, and thence to Mr. Defi
baugh's grove.
All delegations coming to town will please
report to the Chief Marshal or one of his
aids.
V\ e have been iufoiiucd that all plaoon oi
business will be closed on that day.

THE COPI'EBHEADS AND THE CELEBRATION*.
—The advocates of the contemptible trick at
tempted to be perpetrated upon the Union
men of this Borough, in concocting a Copper
head celebration, have cast about them in a
thousand different directions, to find an excuse
for their disreputable attempt at imposition.
We expected this, but we had a right to
expect that they would confine themselves
rigidly within the righteous limits of truth,
but it appears when men resort tp trickery
that they cannot stop half way, they must put
the affair through, though it be at the expense
of every moral virtue. The last Gazette con
tains an illustration of this policy. The
first proposition in justification is that '"in
accordance with an almost universal practice,
the Burgess and Council of this Borough have
recommended the appropriate celebration of
tbe coming anniversary of American Inde
pendence." This might be well enough if it
were so. unfortunately, it lacks truthfulness.
It is the first instance, in the history of this
town, within the recollection of the oldest in
habitant, in which this has been done. But why
the introduction of this innovation on the
part of the Burgess and Council ? Why in
vest the Chief Bnrgess with plenary powers?
Why was the Burgess not authorized to call a
meeting of the citizens and let them arrange
all the preliminary committees? Ahi here is
the rub I A meeting had been called by the
PEOPLE to make just such arrangements, every
body was invited to attend, the Court House
bell was rung three times, but while the PEO
PLE were assembling the Burgess and Council
hastily assembled to head off the movement,
lest some man who had identified himself,
prominently, with the late trials of the coun
try might be connected with the movement.
There is only one other reason can be given
for this shameless proceeding, and that is,
that they desired to harmonize, by prepon
derance, with loyal citizens for the purpose of
neutralizing their former infamous record.
What other reason could be given by these
men for a union celebration? Had they of
fered to unite with ns for the fonr long years
of bloody war? Did they stand by us and
comfort us in our trials? Did they sympa
thise with ns in defeat or rejoice with with ns
in victory? On the contrary they stigmatised
all our efforts to assert the supremacy of the
laws, as acts of usurpation; they denounced
Abraham Lincoln, one of the truest and best
of men, as a tyrant; they pronounced the
war "a failure" and its advocates worse than
murderers; they organized resistance to the
laws, and an army was distributed throughout
the northern States to keep them in subjec
tion; they constantly championed the cause of
the rebellion and HOW plead for its chiefs.
The second proposition is, '"that there
should be two orations delivered, one by a
Democrat and the other by a Republican,
politics to be excluded from both." This,
like the first justification is nothing more nor
less than a perversion of the record. The
second resolution passed by the council reads
thus: "The Chief Burgess be and he is here
by authorized to invite some proper person
to read the declaration of Independence and
procure an orator for the occasion." There
are no two orators, "an orator for the occa
sion" is the language. The Chief Burgess
could not transcend his powers or instruc
tions. When men make records it ia well to
hold them to them. By the way, we under
stand the " proper person to read the Declara
tion of Independence" to be one who can ex
plain the sentence "all men are born equal
to mean only Caucasians. But politics were
to be excluded from both speeches. It is the
first time in our history that we have heard
that a celebration of the 4th of July was ex
clusively a religious celebration, anu that
politics were excluded from it. Here the
secret comeß out, however. They were afraid
some allusion to the manner in which the
Government suppressed the-, rebellion might
not be very flattering to their patriotism,
therefore, some particular person would have
to be selected who could dodge, by book or
crook, or otherwise, any of these, to them,
delicate questions. We have no hesitation
in saying that the individual who will deliver
a 4th of July oration, without alluding to the
triumphs of our flag in the late rebellion, is a
coward and deserves to be spurned as a trai
tor, while if be does express himself in such
befitting manner as the occasion demands, he
will find his Copperhead auditors playing
him the same pranks that they have been
playing our patriotic clergymen throughout
the country for the last four years.
Of course we admit of the liberality of the
thing, but most emphatically deny that "ma
ny Republicans were willing to respond to
this recommendation of the Burgess and
Council," after the trick was discovered and
they were made acquainted with the facts
above ennumerated, as next Tuesday will
fully prove.
If an invitation addressed to the soldiery
aud loyal people of Bedford county is a parti
enau& wYu persist in writing themselves down
in the dris loyal or prescribed class, it is not
the fan It of loyal men, certainly. If they can
not affiliate with men who are loyal, then,
why in Heaven's name, do they blame loyal
men for drawing the line of distinction?
Whenever the term loyal is used they consid
er themselves left out; tliey say so, and their
actions conform to their words, and if they
will persist in keeping up the distinction, let
them do so. -
But the community is to understand that
Copperheadism, in the future, is in favor of
the "restoration of harmony and fraternal
kindness among our people, and not in favor
of continuing bitterness aud 6trife." (Ah!
ah! indeed!) Yes, so it appears. The bay
onet which h;is awed them into silence, and
which protected the lives and property of
Union men, has hardly been returned to the
. scabbard, when lo! here comes these fellows
with the humility of martyrs pictured upon
their countenance, pleading their good be
havior in the future, that, therefore, their
past villainy may be forgotten. We are not
of the number that forget treason and treach
ery in a day. By their record shall we con
tinue to judge them, and when it fails, Cop
perheadism will have paid the debt of nature,
but its offensive teachings will lie cited to the
latest generations.

John Lutz, Esq.. from the Committee on
Resolutions read the following which were
unanimously adopted:
ResoliSed, That our present form of govern
ment, which was instituted under the articles
of Confederation as "a perpetual Union,''
and developed in the existing Constitution in
to "a more perfect Union," has been, nnder
Providence, the origin, the continuing caase,
and as we believe it will be, in a long future,
the sure guarantee of our political and social
progress, our material prosperity and wealth,
our domestic safety and high standing among
the nations of the earth.
JtesiAcedf That tbe faithful observance on
the part of all the States, of all their constitu
tional obligations to each other and to the
federal government is essential to the peace
of the country.
Resolved, That as citizens of Pennsylvania,
we point with pride to her record ot loyalty to
tbe Union, unblemished as it is by a single
act of treasonable hesitation, or more trea
sonable opposition to the government. The
first to the rescue when the national capital
was assailed, her hardy and brave volunteers
have never since failed at the call of their
country ; and, now that the Federal authority
in its final struggle with the rebellion, has
been gloriously vindicated, the arms of the
Union crowned with victory, the Constitution
maintained and the country redeemed and
saved, we claim the distinction for our State
of having met the demands of the government
with a patriotic submission and loyal promp
titude nowhere surpassed, and of having thus
rendered a service to the cause of Constitu
tional law and order difficult to over esti
mate.
Resolved, That we have undiminished con
fidence in the ability and integrity of Govern
or Curtin, that the thanks of the people are
eminently due to him for his untiring care for
the great interests of the State, whilst his pa
triotic and pains-taking devotion to the brave
sons of the Commonwealth, on the field and
in thelo6pfc4J. has endeared him to the sol
dier aiid tie soldier's friends. His prompt
and faithful support of the national govern
ment from the beginning to the end of the re
hellion, proves that he knew his duty and
knowing dared to perform it.
Resolved, That we mourn; the untimely
death of our late beloved President, Abraham
Lincoln. At the moment when the shouts of
victory were rising troni the fields of battle,
and when the flag of freedom was again being
raised over the forts and towns from which
it had been torn down four years ago, he tell
beueath the murderous arm of the assassin.
He had accomplished his mission—he had
saved his country ami had gained a place in
i the temple of glory, where he will always be
j honored m one of the greatest benefactors ot
i humanity.
Resolved, That m Andrew Johnson our
present Chief Executive we have the utmost
confidence, believing him fully equal to the
great work to which by a mysterious Froyi
| | If *** 11W J- Utttf
his fidelity to the government in
the past, aud his unexampled patriotism in
the hour ot his country's trial and danger,
we are willing to trust him in the future.
Resolved, That the thauks of the nation are
eminently due to the brave volunteers who at
heavy sacrifice, tendered their services and
left their homes to defend the honor of their
country and the principles of free government
and now that the struggle for freedom and
liberty to all men has finally ended, and tht
din of battle died away, we gladly and most
heartily welcome them to their peaceful
homes.
Resolved, That the course of our Represen
tatives, I>. B. Armstrong and M. A. Ross,
meets our cordial approval, and that the con
ferees from this county be instructed to cast
their ballots for their re-nomination.
Resolved , That the ticket placed in nomi
nation to-day, being composed of good and
true men, is worthy of the support of the
honest voters of this county, and that we pledge
to their election our undivided efforts.
On motion the Convention adjourned.

QUEER! —Ain't it queer that we never hear
now that beautiful song Vallandigham, Val
landighara V Won't our friends the Burgess
and Council of the Borough of Bedford order
it to be sung on the coming 4th.
DESTROYED BY FIRE. —The barn of David
Evans, in Juniata township, this county was
entirely destroyed by fire on the 2nd of June.
Fortunately there were only about three tons
of hay in the barn at the time. The loss is
estimated at SIOOO. There was no insur
ance.
Our friends are making strenuous efforts to
induce some of our returned volunteers to
unite with them in celebrating the coming
4th. These efforts remind us of the strenu
ous efforts that were made by the same per
sons to present the amendment to the consti
tution to allow the soldiers to vote. lluw th©
Cops love the soldiersl
Av IMPORTANT Ixqcißy.— Our friends who
celebrate the coming 4th on "Democratic
Hill" have raised, we are informed, S4OO 00
to pay the expenses of the celebration. —
Wonder how much the man gave who sub
scribed SOO 00 to pay a bounty to our county
volunteers and afterwards, having prayed
Over the matter, refused to pay and erased
his name from the subscription paper.
PLEASANT. —How pleasant and cheering it
is to hear the notes of those patriotic songs,
"The Star Spangled Banner," "The Red,
White and Blue," Ac., &c., sung by persons
in our town, who a few months ago could sing
nothing else but "The Bonnie Blue Flag,"
"My Maryland &c., —can't these persons give
us "John Brown's Soul," and "Tne Year of
Jubilo is coining."
OH WHERE, TELL ME WHEBE? —Somepersons
in our town, called by naughty people Cop
perheads, used to speak of the Rebel army
as u oiir army." Will these persons be s6
kind as to'tell us where "our army" is now ?
Where ia that "stern statesman" Jeff. Davis,
and that "greatest of military chieftains."
R. E. Lee? Where will they celebrate ♦'**>
4th ?
A SPEECH. —A gentleman of our town made
a speech last fall to a Democratic club because
as he said his friend Meyers told him that "it
was suspected that his loyalty was getting the
better of his democracy." Is that the reasou
why the aforesaid gentleman is going to make
the fourth of July speech on Democratic
Hill ? Did the Burgess and Council select
him as the orator of the day for that reason?
POLITICAL. — Our friends, we are told are
preparing a large number of flags, not the
'Bonnie Blue Flag" but the Star Spangled Ban
ner, to be nscd at their celebration on the
coming Wo wonlfj Jilro tn
Star Spangled Banner was too political for a
church fair, how it comes to be "just the
thing" tor a4th of July celebration? We
hope the Burgess and Council who wish to
have a celebration without any politics in it
will answer the question.
THE Rev. W. W. Eells will deliver a ser
mon in behalf of the Pennsylvania Bible So
ciety, of which he is a Secretary, in the Pres
byterian chuich of this place, on next Sabbath
evening. The other churches in the town
will be closed, according to an established
custom, and all are invited to attend the above
service. Mr. Eells will also preach in the
same church in the morning.
ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
NEAR PLYMOUTH LANDING, \
TOMBIGBEE KIVKU, MISS., June 5, 1865. .)"
Editors Inquirer :
Several days ago we moved camp to within
three miles of Plymouth Landing, on the
Tombigbee river. There is nothing here to
indicate the existence of a town further than
several houses and a chicken coop or two,
though the latter do not contain any of the
feathered tribe at present. They mysterious
ly disappear upon our arrival at a place.
There are but seven companies of the reg
iment at this poiut. Companies K, I, L, and
and M. arc at Columbus doing Provost Du
ty. Company A, is at. Mobile, Ala. They
were unable to procure transportation at Lake
port in time to join the regiment at Illakely,
when it left for Georgia, and were left behind.
They will probably rejoin us either at Jackson
or Vicksburg.
The weather has beea intensely hot for sev
eral days past, the thermometer averaging
about 100 degrees, so you see there is no
joking about the matter.
Our camp is pleasantly situated in a nice
pine grove. Several line springs near at hand
supply the command with an abundance of
pure water. In the way of "grub" we do not
fare so well. For some time past we have
had nothing more tTian coffee —with "nary"
sugar in it —and "hard tack." We do not
consider this very substantial living. Forage
for the animals is obtained some ten or twelve
miles out in the country, in the way of corn
with the "husk" on. Hay is not produced
here, and but very few pf the people know
what it is. Receipts are given in all cases.
We expect soon to lie at home. Orders
have been received for the regiment to leave
as soon as possible for Jackson, Miss., where
all the men whose term of service expires by
the Ist of October will be mastered out, if
possible, and if not, to proceed immediately
to Vicksburg. All nnnervijeable horses have
been turned in, and the met so dismounted,
will go by rail to Jacksot, From here to
Jackson is one hundredan< forty-eight miles,
and we expect to march it in five days—
thirty miles per day.

the South in the secret service of the "Tribune"
at the outbreak of the war, with our armies and
fleets, both East and We-t, during the first t#o

By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury,
the undersigned, the General Subscription Agent
for thu sale of United States Securities, offers to
the public the third series of Treasury
bearing seven and cent mtereet
per annum, known as the
r-r*o LOAN.
These notun are issued under date of July 15,
1865, and are payable three years from that date
in currency; or are convertible at the option of the
holder into " . A
U. S. 5-20 SIX PER CERT.
gold bearing bonds.
These bonds are now worth a bwidsotne premi
um and are exempt, as are all Government Bonds,
from Bute, Cstttty, and Municipal taxation,
which adds from one to three per cent, per annum
to their value, according to the rate levied upoe
other property. The interest is payable semi-au
nually by coupons attached to each not*. which
may be cut off and sold to any bank or banker.
The Intemt nt 7 per eeut. amounts to
One cent per day on a SSO note.

Notes of all the denominations named will be
promptly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are precisely rim
ilar in form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties
already sold, except that the Government reserves
to itself the option of paying interest in gold coin
at 6 per cent,, instead of"3-10thsin currency.
Subscribers will deduct the interest in currency up
to July 15th, at the time when they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series of
the Seven-thirties will commence on the Ist of
Jane, 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
' went 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 equalise prices
that purchases made with six per cent, in gold
would be fully equal to those made with seven
and threcrtentlis per cent, in currency. This is the
OtflsY LOAJf L\ MARKET
now offered by the Government, and its superior
advantages make it the
Great Popular Loan of tbe People.
Less than $230,000,000 of the loan authorised
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 ease
on closing the subscriptions to other Loans.
In order that citizens of every town 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 whieh
they receive orders.
