THE CROI.SE HERDER.— BeIow we give a number of comments ot different Journals up on the tragedy which occurred in this place on the Ist of August. There appears to be some difference of opinioti In regard to John P. Reed, Jr. One party asserting that he put in a substitute while the other contends that he paid commutation. We have the authori ty of Capt. Eyster for saying that he paid commutation. MURDER OF AN EX-PROVOST MARSHAL BY A CANADIAN REFI'GEE.— It is with feelings of pain that we recrod the murder of Mr. Jacob Crouse of Bedford, Ex-Deputy Provost Mar shal, in the streets of that town, on Tuesday the Ist inst., by John P, Peed, Jr M son of John P. Reed, a lawyer of that town. With all the parties we are acquainted. Not long before the first draft, but when it was known there would be one, John P. Reed, Jr., left for Canada, where he studied law. Whilst there he was drafted twice. He did not re port until about the closing of the war, when he came back, and his father managed to get a substitute in for him. This of course was done so as to save him from the lew disfran chising skulkers. It is contended by the Reeds and their copperhead friends, that he did not leave on account of the war. This is all fudge. It is not likely that the father, a man of moderate means, would keep his son in a foreign country at an expense of SIBOO a year, for three or four years, where had no relatives or friends, when he himself is a law yer and has a law office in Bedford. His sons' expenses at home would hardly have been one fourth that amount. Mengel Reed, a brother j Of J. P. Reed, in company with Brinton Ly- On, son of Wm. Lyon, Esq., of Bedford, in IW3, went to. McCounelsburg, and joined Im boden's cavalry. He was taken prisoner at Gettysburg, by our forces, and confined at Fort Delaware. His friends learning this fact, went on and got him to take the oath of alle giance, and thus got him out of the rebel ser vice. Lyon, his companion, more brave in a bad cause, fought it out till the end, and had not, we believe, the brazen impudence to re tnrn among loyal men where be was known. Mengel's friends pretend he was pressed into the rebel service! He and Lyon naturally joined the army of their choice, according to the teachings of their friends. On Saturday week, as was coming down street he passed Mengel Reed in front of the Mengel house. Crouse remarked, "how are you, Johnny," and passed on. Mengel hallooed after hi in to stop and he would cane him. Crouse stopped, and told him he need go no further than just there. At this John P Reed, Jr., run in and struck Crouse, and in the scuffle they both fell. Reed's friends rushed in and kicked and struck Crouse. They were then parted. In the evening Crouse mistook Schell Reed, for his brother, John P., and struck him. John P. was on hand, when another scuffle ensued, and ended in neither party being much hurt. Here follows the Inquirer's account of the tragedy: * HTtM > Jacob Crouse was one of nature's noblemen, honest, temperate and warm-hearted, and 1 >ved his country, as the mother loves the child of her bosom. He was hated by the copperheads of Bedford county, on this ac count, and because he discharged his duties without fear, fevor or affection, he has died a martyr to his country. We knew hiru well, and we speak knowingly of his many pood qualities. Peace to thy manes, old friend! THE BEDFORD HOMICIDE.— Mr. John P. Reed, Sr., is "an intelligent and respected cit izen of Bedford. He is, we believe, a mem ber of the bar and has filled important official trusts. He has two sons—John P., Jr., and Mengel by name—and it may be others, but these have earned for themselves a place iu the records of justice. Not knowing to the contrary, we assume that Mr. Reed taught his sons, among other essential virtues, that all their manifold social, religious and political rights are the fruits of our most beneficent system of government, and that they owe un faltering devotion to its cause whenever its permanency orpriceless priuciplesof freedom are assailed by either foreign or domestic foes. But however faithfully he may have discharged this sacred parental duty, his sons proved faithless to his precepts, to themselves and to their own great inheritance. So far from fol lowing the dictates of patriotism when treason made causeless, wicked war to overthrow the government, and responding to the Nation's call in the hour of its deepest peril, Mengel embraced the first favorable opportunity to en list in the traitors' ranks in 1863, aiming to add to the full measure of his country's woes, and thus served in perfidious, murderous war upon his own home and people. To thiscrime he was faithful until he was captured as a pris oner 01 war ana he was neia as such untiftne bloody work of treason ended in discomfiture, when he proposed formally to resume bis fi delity to the government by taking the oath of allegiance. The institutions in its boundless magnanimity permitted him to do so, and he returned to Bedford to enjoy the blessings of the government he had vainly sought to de- i stroy, and to mingle with the people again whose sad bereavements he had aided to his utmost power, to shadow with fresh sorrows. A generous people at his home bore with his malignant perfidy to the free North that gave him birth, and the shameless insolence that made him seek the comforts of a home where he had once sought to mark the desolating track of treason's barbarous war. His broth er, John P., inspired with hate for the free government under which he had been reared, fled to a foreign land avowedly to escape ser vice in behali of his imperiled couutry and the jurisdiction of its laws. When the Na tional enrolment law passed Congress, or was about to pass, he journeyed to Canada, where he supposed that he could unreservedly fra ternize with congenial rebels plotting treason and death to his brethren. He entered an office for the study of law, and meant, as the sequel proves, to remain only until be could return home without daugerof being required to aid in preserving the government under which he nopedto live and to which he nom inally confessed allegiance. But, although in a distant land, he had forgotten that he had no abiding place, in the eve of the law of ei ther Canada or the United States, other than in Bedford, and he Was properly enrolled and drafted a conscript in the Union nrmv. Of course he did not respond, as he had gone a way for the purpose of escaping service in the cause of his country, and he quietly and snug ly enjoyed British hospitality until onr Con gress disfranchised all deserters unless they should report within a given period. Howev er much Mr. John P. Reed, Jr. was willing to be called a Canadian when a draft was to be made, he was quite unwilling to be a Canadi an in the sense that would prevent him from voting the Democratic ticket whenever an op portunity should offer, and he had his friends at once proceed to appeal to the Provost Marshal to allow' him to put in a substitute. Captain Eyster refused: Gen. Hinks finally assented to it, and before he had furnished bis substitute the war was manifestly about to close, and he was allowed to pay commutation. Being thus clear of the draft and the rebel lion being so out at all fours that future drafts were amigeuici hw|wuSwMe, ne, 100, reiniuien his residence in Bedford. It may be, as alleged, that both these young men behaved on all occasions with becoming reserve and propriety; but while perhaps ninety-nine hundredths of the citizens were disposed simply to treat their perfidy to the government with forbearance or silent con tempt, there were a few whose ordor for the cause made them call things by their right names, even at the cause of disturbing the public peace. Among these was Mr. Jacob (.'rouse, who had acted as an Assistant Provost Marshal in that eouuty, aud had doubtless learned in the discharge of his official duties, how mean a traitorous sympathizer may be. It is said that he would at times address Mr. Mengel Reed, the ex-rebel herb, as "Johnny Reb, ' and thus salute him on the street in presence of his companions. Had Mr. Reed retortedon Mr. Crouse by calling him a' "yank," it would have been equally just, but perhaps materially less offensive; and because Air. Crouse would at times remind him of his companionship he had deliberately chosen and publicly persisted iu lor more than a year, he deemed it cause for offence. To be reminded of the truth, and of what he would doubtless boast in congenial circles, he felt to be a hu miliation in Bedford, and altercation succeed ed altercation between Crouse and the broth ers Reed until finally the parties met or. the street on Tuesday of last week, and Mr. Jno. P. Reed, Jr., shot Mr. Crouse dead. We have not, at the time of this writing, any details of the fatal affray. It may be. as alleged by the Bedford Gazette, that the im mediate provocation was all on the side of Crouse; that he was a quarrelsome bully and persistently provoked Mr. Reed without re taliation until words ended in blows and blows in the deadly bullet. Or it may be, as we have heard, that the conduct of the young Reeds was such as justified any loyal man in publicly resenting their traitorous sentiments and actions; that the shooting was deliberate j ly determined upon under the advice of sym pathizing friends, and that Mr. Reed prac ticed with his pistol assiduously before the fa tal meeting so as to make sure of his victim. Of these allegations we have no opinion to ex press. All that we know is that they met; that the skulkiug conscript was armed while the loyal citizen was not, and the result was the death of the latter on the public street without a moment's warning. The Reed brothers are in custody and we leave them to the verdict of the jury of their country who shall be called to determine the mersnre of their.guilt. —Whatever may be the determination of the law as to this fearful homicide, can any dis passionate and conscientious citizen doubt where rests the moral responsibility for the murder of Mr. Crouse? if men are educated to espouse the cause of their country's foes; to join their battallions; to wage war against their own homes, kinsmen and neighbors, and to flee the jurisdiction of the law to defy the Nation's call in its day of peril, and do these things with impunity, can it be wondered that it should engender the deepest depth of loath ing and contempt in every loyal breast, and that it should even outstrip the bounds of prudence at times as unpunished traitors and sneaking, defaulting conscripts are met on the street corners pluming themselves as men and citizens? Of such creatures some men tci'ff speak what all honest men think, and if breach es of the peace and homicide result there from, who must answer at the bar of an en lightened and loyal people, and who at the bar of Him who shall judge al the living? Let each man see well for himself and his house hold that the blood of Jacob Crouse be not at his door to cry for vengeance!—Chambers burg Repository. Minims AT BEDFORD. —An enrolling offi cer, named Crouse, was murdered at Bedford, on Tuesday morning last, the Ist inst., by a deserter named Heed, who had but recently returned from Canada. Borne difficulty oc curred, a few days ago, between the parties, and on the morning mentioned they met on the streets, when Reed drew a revolver, and when Crouse attempted to pick up a stone to defend himself. Reed fired—the ball taking effect in the side of Crouse, passing through the heart, and killing him almost instantly. Reed was a notorious Copperhead, and in this murder simply obeyed the teachings of Bed ford Copperhead ism.-//arrwfw CP Telegraph. SHOT BY A CANADA REFUGEE: —We learn by a telegram that an old acquaintance of ours, Capt. Jacob Crouse, of Bedford. Pa., and late deputy Provost Marshal for Bedford county, was shot dead in. the street on Tuesday last, by John P. Reed, a returned Canada refugee. We know all the parties in this affair well. John P. Reed, the father of the murderer, is a leading "democrat"' in Bedford, and as the result of his peculiar "democratic" teaching during the war, one of his sons joined the rebels while they held possession of the town in which we resided, and the other fled to Canada to escape the draft. Since the close of the war the cowardly skedaddler returns, and shoots one of the most respectable citi zens of Bedford, on the street, because he had officiated as a United States officer. We hope he will be hung, but we doubt whether he can be brought to justice in Bedford coun ty.—Pekin Republican, Illinois. affray occurred on Tuesday in Bed ford, Pennsylvania, a place noted for its Se cession proclivities during the war, in which Mr. Jacob Grouse, late Deputy Provost Mar shal of Bedford county, was shot dead in the street by John P. Reed, a returned refugee from Canada. His brother, Mengel Reed, who has been in the Rebel army, was ulsoen gagaged iu the affray.— Gettysburg Star. MURDER AT BEDFORD. —Jacob Crouse, a Deputy Provost Marshal, and a quiet and peaceable citizen, was shot dead in one of the public streets at Bedford, on Tuesday last, by John P. Reed. It seems that Reed fled to Canada to avoid the draft, and having just returned, it is probable Ciouser attempted to arrest'bim, when the unfortunate occurrence took Reed's hrnther Mcnirel. who had served in the rebel arrtiy, was present and 1 en gaged in the affray. Both the brothers have been lodged in jail. Political feeling runs high in Bedford, the Reeds being Democrats, and Crouse a Republican. Tins may have had something to do with the murder.— Del. Co. Rep. THE Bedford G azetle is only consistent when it justifies the murder of Jacob Crouse, who was recently shot down by a returned deserter, for no other reason than that the delinquent and cowardly copperhead hated Crouse as a faithful officer. Tne Gazette justified the mur der of Union men by the rebels, the starva tion of Union prisoners, and lastly the assas sination of Mr. Lincoln. We repeat then that to approve the murder of Crouse is only to be consistent. — Harrisburg Telegraph. To the Soldiers of Bedford County. BY A SOLDIER. You remember I concluded my previous let- \ ter by saying the administration of Abraham i Lincoln met with opposition from the condol ing friends of James Buchanan, whose dough faced ministrations at the latter end of his term of office, provoked the patriots of the land to condemn him, and perhaps to attrib ute to him, as a reason for his course, a com mitment to the interest ofthe Southern people. It is natural for persons to excuse their friends for mere mistakes, especially those, that never before betrayed confidence, and al most as natural to attribute right views to one, whose judgment Mas never positively known to err, as it is to believe that a wise man can distinguish positive right from posi tive wrong. And the belief by many, in the honesty of purpose, with which he advocated reconcilia tion, yet withal, so contrary to that of Gen. Jackson's plan on a similar occasion, preserv ed to him the fascinations of his constituency. Any other policy that James Buchanan might have pursued, that in its weakness would not have given more unmistakeable evidence of complicity with the rebels, than the one he did pursue, would have been alike applauded by his friends. Had he possessed the iron Witt OI AlHiniW 'f nuca uc nating the unexampled plot of treason against the government of which he was yet thehead, instead of the timorous heart that inherited his frail being, and with that will, had deter mined that the Union "mustand shall be pre served" by every power vested in the President to throw against this treason, scarcely an individual that afterwards com posed the peace party in the North, if treason had lasted so long, as to behold the inangnra of President Lincoln, would have failed to sustain him with the laudations that pure democracy were wont to bestow upon Andrew Jackson. I ask is it not so? If you say yes, will you not agree with me further? In the course pursued by James Buchanan, in reference to this rebellion, and that pursued by Andrew Jackson with regard to South Car olina nullification, there were two distinctpol icies. I will not deny merit to either, but if a pacific course could with propriety have been adopted in either of those instances of exec utive interposition, would it not have been vastly more appropriate to have applied the pacific measures, when only oue State was renouncing allegiance, than when a dozen were setting up a new national independance.' In the first instance, the life of the nation could not well have been endangered, while in the second, a day's delay was often the power of half a state against us. When two intelligences are at variance, each having a zeal not readily surmountable, it is natural for one to amuse the other with objects of diver sion, until it has the better qualified itself for the blow. It was natural to expect the same in this instance. More than half of the peo ple of the North believed that the South, in its delusive labors iu the Peace Congress, and in its action upon the Crittenden compromise, were only trying to gain time. The North and the South were alike well satisfied that the terms of reconciliation would require one or both sections of the nation to relinquish the cause, that seemed to have given occasion to thia outburst against the federal anthority. It was sheer weakness to Indulge in the hope of reconciliation in this wise. It was not designed to Rpring from any terms that might be agreed upon by a few, but the rebellion was designed to fall with the exercise of executive power; and now, not until the soil of the nation be drenched with the blood of half a million of brothers. The new administration came into power when only seven States had passed the ordinance of secession, and with an inangural declaration vouchsafing protection to all Southern rights, still the current of the re bellion was not stayed ; but unheeding these assurances, four other states plunged into the gulf of secession, one declared an independ ence and another determined to remain nen" tral; while still two or three other states ac knowledged the right of the South in the re bellion. It had been hoped that this defini tion of the policy of the government, might prevent the tide of rebellion from further ag gression upon the old union, and possibly weaken the new sprung confederation with a detraction from the belief of a meritorious cause; if not from a perfect understanding; virtually restore the Union. The rebellion having amassed nearly all the strength it could it was proper for the government, now, since no more could be added to the force of the rebellion by delay, to define its policy, with reference to the issue that had broken the allegiance to the Unioo. But it availed nothing. Sumter quivered into ruins before the shock of rebel artillery, and to defend the strongholds of the nation, and the capital of the republic, the president felt obliged to call out7s,<KXt f° r three months. The patriot ism of the people now exhibited itself thro'out every loyai State. You, patriotic soldierwof the union, know how you then felt Von re member the bustle in the streets, and the clamor that followed this call in the workshops nnd among your neighbors everywhere. The advocates of the Crittenden resolutions, and of the Peace Congress, finding that neither of the two parties, would make the sacrifice one or the other would be required to make, to come to an adjustment upon these plans, sub sequently, to a great degree constituted the peace party. More again. Correspondence. ST. Lor IS, MO., Aug. 10, 1865 J. R. DVRBORROW, Esq., Editor Bedford INQUIRER. Dear sir:— l have just received the INQUIRER of the 4th inst., and had my heart to move with commingled feelings of sadness and in dignation as I read the details of the wicked, tcicked murder of Jacob Crouse. And yet, my dear sir, it is a result that might have been almost looked for. When two years ago your citizens allowed that miserable boy to come back fresh from the rebel ranks and move amongst you, I well remember the flood of indignation that overwhelmed me and my eonviction then that his poisonous pres ence would defile your quiet lovely valley. Antlf iitfii] bt fawn J Lifi lirotkoiM) mowod ly the samc.bell-born spirit which, alas for Bedford, reigned visibly in so many of your citizens, have wrought out before your eyes an exam ple of what rebels and traitors have been do ing elsewhere through the past four years. Sir, it was no kindness to let your prominent men talk secession openly on yonr streets. Age, experienced,aud cunning kept them from openly and manfully joining the armies of rebeldom, but it did not keep them from send ing representatives there. And some of them have the galling memories that their own teachings, urged into rebel ranks, and have blackened with traitorous fame, their own sons. Well may horror seize upon them as they see the patrioticbloodofJacobCrouse flow on your streets as he falk a victim to the foul spirit, which they indulged in their own hearts, and transfused into younger hearts than their own, to work out itself in deeds of shame and infamy and foul murder. I tell you. sir, that I have not been in Bed. ford for the past two years, that my blood has boiled within ine as I heard of the sayings and doings of your cowardly, traitorous citi zens. And, now, at last it has culminated and the blood of Jacob C'rotise is a memorial for all time, a witness of what manner of men have lived amongst you, protected by the flag they longed to dishonor, and enjoying the sweets of a quiet home which they sought to transfer into the miseries and curse of civil war. But, sir, I did not take up my pen to write thus : My heart wns sorely touched by the account of this foul murder, and I would mingle my sorrows with you all, dver the sad end of poor Crouse. He sleeps the same sleep our army of martyred heroes do, who lived and died for their country. I want to add my mite in behalf of the fund which I see by your paper is being rais ed for his family, and you will please find herein fifteen dollars, which you will add to tho-common fund. Dojounot think it would be well to appoint a committee to expend this money so as to insure the permanent, rather the family, say, for example the purchase of a suitable residence to make them a home. In this same connection I would suggest that over the murdered patriot, your citizens should erect soma stone, that would tell the story of his death, and remind passing gen erations of the infamous rebellion that cursed our country about the middle of 19th Centu ry. Yours truly, GEO. D. HALI.. BEDFORD, August 14, 1865. MESSRS. DFRBORROW & Lvrz : In the last issue of your paper you say, "It has been intimated that the fallacious re port of the Crouse murder which appeared in the columns of the Age on last Saturday morning was written by the District Attorney of this county; if this be the case, we hope that he will have at least the manliness to re sign. The man who can justify a homicide and at the same time act as Prosecuting At torney for the Commonwealth lacks the in gredients of which honorable men are com posed." You will please allcw me to say through your columns, that I have written neither a word nor a line on the subject for any paper whatever. • I do not think it in good taste to get up a case, for or against any one who is unfortu nate enough to be a prisoner for homicide, through the columns of any newspaper. But, if I did, I should hardly consult the individu al who "intimated'' that I wrote the article in question. It is my opinion—and you may take it for what it is worth—that the person who "intimates" such statements as the above, without any proof of the fact, "lacks the ingredients of which honorable men are composed," about as much as would the Dis trict Attorney who might have written the article "intimated." Trusting this statement is a sufficient con tradiction to yours, I shall not resign just yet. Yours truly, JOHN* PALMER.
