MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. —We are in
formed, again, for the twentieth time,
that the INQUIRER did not reach Pattons
villeand New Enterprise on Friday. What
good reason is there for this? Our pa
pers are regularly mailed at the Bedford office
on Thursday evening of each week. We have
etily failed on one occasion. And yet every
week, or every other week at farthest, we are
eursed by everybody that takes onr paper on
route No. 2500 for its non-delivery. The cit
ing on this route have petitioned, prayed
and begged the Department, lime and again,
are told, for a daily mail, but to no pur
pose. One half the time the mail bag is un
able to contain the matter, and the bulky part
of it, which is generally our papers, is left
out - Had the Department changed the day
running from Friday to Saturday the evil
would have been, to some extent, averted,
'■at this is not the only difficulty of which we
■ ave to complain. Onr papers mailed to Six
Mile Hun, -which ought to reach that point
m hours after leaving this place, reach
f!p re and other points near the Broad Top
• : '-'lroad, three, four and five days after publi
cation. This is attributed to the fact that
''eroare only about half enough mail bags on
Hailroad. If the mail arrangements were
' rolusively under the control of that great
h 1 powerful institution last named, we would
"?* be surprised at it, however, we think that

are compelled to forego the benefits of the

"THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTH
ING BUT THE TRUTH." —Mr. Campbell, the
spicy local editor of the Fulton Republican,
takes up the article of the Bedford Gazette of
several weeks ago in which it denies that
Mengel Reed went voluntarily into the rebel
army and comments thus:
"His brother Mengel (Reed) was captured
at McConnellsburg, by the Rebels."— Bed
ford Gazette.
Captured! Who told you so? Mengel
Reed and young Lyon came here about the
time of the arrival of the rebel General Stu
art. They stated the object of their visit, to
our citizens, to be trout fishing, but as soon
as Stuart was located —his headquarters being
at the Fulton House —tbey sought and obtain
ed an interview with him. At that interview
tbey told him, in the presence of several of
his Aids, and within the hearing of several
prisoners, and others, that they had come
hither for the purpose of enlisting in the
"Confederate service." Gen. Stuart endeav
ored to dissuade them from entering tbe ser
vice. He told them that with their opinions
and views, as expressed to him, they could do
more good to the cause for which he fought,
at home, than they could in the army ; par
ticularly as he thought from their respective
appearances, they could not endure the hard
ships and exposure of a soldier's life. They
insisted on ioinina him: telling him that their
arrangements were perfected ror so doing, and
intimating that for certain reasons they could
not in safety return home again anyhow. At
last the General accepted them.
When the young men came here they stop
ped with Rev. Mr. Kepler, a gentleman not
unknown to the citizens of Bedford. So open
were they in their affiliation with the rebel
officers and soldiers, and so openly did they
avow their intention of joining the rebel ar
my, that the purpose of their visit was palpa
ble to all our citizens. On the evening pre
vious to the departure of the rebels, Mr. D.
Fore, one of the most prominent Democrats
of our town and county, called Rev. Mr.
Kepler aside and told him that the youug men
staying with him had come here for the avow
ed purpose of joining the rebel army. Mr.
Kepler called Reed and Lyon and took them
up to his house. In a few moments they came
down to the corner opposite the Cross Keys
Hotel and laid their carpet sacks, which they
carried with them, down, then crossed over
to Stuart's headquarters. Mr. Kepler came
down shortly after, and stated, in substance,
that he had accused them of coming here to
join the rebels, and that tbey had not denied
it; and thai thereupon he had requested them
to remove their effects from his premises, as
he did not wish to be accused by the citizens
of countenancing them in their disloyalty.
The next morning, Reed and Lyon, carpet
bags in hand, accompanied the departing reb
els on their way southward —not because they
were prisoners of war, but through choice.
All the above statements can be verified by
the affidavits of numbers of our citizens—
both Democrat and Republican.
We, ourself, together with many other citi
zens, were prisoners with the rebels. We
were charged with being a Union Spy, and
Major Gilmor swore that he had seen us in
the rebel camps of Virginia frequently, and
in his usual gentlemanly style notified us that
he would hang us "by GOD." Others were
charged with bushwhacking. We were all re.
leasea on paroie. R>o wouw nns aivu T.J ....
have been bad they been prisoners. Further
remark is unnecessary. The statement of
Reed having been forced into the rebel ser
vice is so utterly false and groundless, that
no sane man, knowing the particulars, could,
for a moment, give it credence.
MORAL OBLIQUITY.— The moral .eputation
of our town has been sadly marred, ever
since the incarceration of the Grouse murder
ers in the county jail, by the constant visits
of parties to the jail to pay their respects to
the criminals therein confined. The visits of
the members of the Reed family may not be
objectionable, as long as there is no probabil
ity of the prisoners attempting to escape,
though they ought not to be- permitted with
out the presence of the sheriff or his deputy.
But that the jail should be kept as an open
house for the holding of levees by the prison,
era, and that citizens of the town should de- *
iiberately, and with parade and show, visit it
for the purpose of paying their respects to
and lionizing the prisoners and entertaining
them with music, Ac., is an insult to any mor
al and law abiding community, and they who
thus make a parade of their contempt for the
ordinary observances of civilized, moral and
christian communities, exhibit an nneuviable
degree of moral depravity. Such conduct, on
the part of those making pretensions of mor
ality and the outward observance of christian
ordinances argues a character lost to all the
the better instincts of humanity and lacking
the common sense to discern the eternal fit
ness of things. We might reasonably sup
pose, that, unless the criminals are wholly de
praved and lost to every admonition of con
science and all fear of the laws of Almighty
God, they would, with the stain ot human
blood upon their hearts and hands, desire
rather the spiritual advice of the minister of
the Gospel, than the silly gossip of the giddy,
the heartless, and the gay, that their exercises
would more likely be those of penitence and
prayer, than of revellings and public recep
tions. We hope the sheriff will embrace the
first opportunity of hinting to all such (as
they evidently have have not sense enough to
see. it themselves) that their visits to the jail
are anything hut creditable to either their so
cial or moral characters.
SOLDIERS' HOME DIKXER AT BRIDOKPORT.
—The following highly interesting and char
acteristic description of the dinner at Bridge
port has been forwarded us, by our esteemed
friend, the "Professor":
Some of the Union and opposition citizens
of Londonderry township united to have a
festival on the 12th inst., near BRIDGEPORT,
in order to welcome our brave boys who have
got home from the army.
We were abundantly able to get np a good
dinner without any outside assistance, and
were proceeding to do so, when our neighbors
wished to go in with us, and we thought it
hard to refuse them. So they helped us to
clear off the ground and make all other neces
sary preparations.
We never liked to " take to the woods" when
we see anything to lie done for our country,
but knowing the inclination of some people to
be that way, as a compromise we chose a situ
ation having easy access to the timber; and
as some of it was covered with leaves, all
hands went in to bum it over. We were
afraid some copperheads might be concealed
in the rubbish, and our friend* were appre
hensive of black snakes.
Well, on the 12th the people came from
every direction, with a bountiful supply of
such good things of this life, as would have
made tbe mouth of Enoujuis water. The
ladies were out to give life and grace to the
occasion; venerable men were there; and
among the younger men, were many bronzed
and weather beaten boys in blue. All seemed
to be under the influence of good will, and we
had the promise of "a feast of reason and a
flow of soul." Tbe Union people conducted
themselves throughout the day with the ut
most decorum, as did the ladies and gentle
men of the opposite party. But "the rag,
tag and bob tail" of the other party being ou*
in full force, too, we had flot a time as we
otherwise would have had. To be sure, it
was pleasant to see them out on so joyous
and festive occasion. Some of them had, for
a long time, refused to be comforted on ac
count of the fall of the Confederacy; arrd oth
ers had been out stumbling about in "the
dark mountains of sin and folly" ever since
the draft; so we were glad to see them; but
we must say their conduct in the afternoon
was not such as to recommend them. Even
their triends were ashamed of them. They
brought little, if anything, in the edible line
to the meeting; but you may be sure they did
justice to the supplies better people had pro
vided. Of course we found no fault with
them for that. No doubt they were hungry,
and had plenty of storage capacity, and as
there was plenty to eat, we saw no yeas on
"wuy mm; onoota uui uo so. And they did
eat. as if they thought it not only a political,
but a moral and religious duty. I believe
they could eat an ox, tripes and all, for din
ner, pick their teeth with his horns, and then
"go the whole hog," for supper. After din
ner, they seemed to feel pretty good, as usual.
One of them felt "so good" one time, a good
while ago, that he is said to have declared he
"didn't know whether he was in heaven, or"
—where the frost don't lie long. Then they
poured a jug of whiskey, with which they were
provided, into themselves: but not having re
served room for the whiskey in the lower
story, and their heads being empty, the spir
its took possession thereof, finding soft and
roomy apartments. When the whiskey got
settled in their heads, they commenced abus
ing the people. First they insulted and
struck a gray headed gentleman who had
served his country faithfully in the old >th
Corps: and when they found they could not
abuse him with impunity, they insulted an
other gentleman. Then they went so far as
to strike two other Union gentlemen; but
these two Union men, having the spirit of
old Adam, and Abraham, Isaac and JACOB
in them, got a little rough, and gave them a
few good, old fashioned thumps, and turned
them kind of bottom upward-, when, it is sup
posed, a little sense found its way along their
back bones into their heads, for after that
they behaved pretty well.
I didn't see any more bad behavior of them,
only one weak minded fellow tried once or
twice to disturb Mr. ROLLINS in his oration.
Poor devil! he might as well try to disturb
the flow of the Mississippi, or of Niagara, as
to try his hand on Mr. ROLLINS.
In conclusion, I may say, we had a good
time of it; but I wondered at the Union men
for being so easy on the copperheads. I think
a white man ought to have his rights; I think
a "nigger" ought to have his rights, and I
think even a poor "Cop." ought to have his
rights, too. I always counsel kindness and
moderation: b"tther is a ooint htvnnd which
forbearance ceases to be a virtue. I wouldn't
want a man to "wallop" a poor "Cop." for
everything; bnt I look at it in this way:
"If a "Cop." should hit me on one side of
the head, and not strike too hard, recollect:
I don't think I ought to rear up and be for a
fight right off, for may be he did it accidental
ly; so I would turn him the other side of the
head, and if he didn't strike me on that, why
I would say right at once, "buHy for you,"—
mistake, wasn't it? But if he should strike
me on that side, too, then I would think he
did it a purpose, and if the "Cop" wasu't
too confoundedly big, I would pull off my
"wamus" and "jacket" an din about five min
utes less than no time, mount him with the ut
most alacrity, and by sundry and divers good
thumps, well and duly administered, give him
such an old fashioned thrashing as would
make him a warning to all his friends and
fellow citizens.
A slight shock of an earthquake was felt at
St. Louis, and Cairo on the 17th.
John W. Schmidt, Consul of Prusia, at
New-York, died recently, having been sta

The extravagant prices charged this season

THE eighty-eighth anniversary of the battle
of Bennington was celebrated on he 16th
with more than the usual enthusiasm at Ben

On the 16th n derrick fell from the capitol
extension in Washington, dashing out the

MADAME Jumell Burr, widow of Aaron
Burr, who recently died in New-York, ap
pointed a country pastor, who had been very
kind to her, residuary legatee of her estate,
worth SBOO,OOO. She also left money for the
erection of a new church for the rector.
Ax engine exploded on the Atlantic &
Grat Western Railroad on the Oth, throwing
the engiueer and fireman 75 feet in the air
and 300 feet from the train, they both strik

part.
1-atest advices assure us that the Atlantic
cable parted and sunk on the 2d. It was
grappled for and raised three different times,
but each time the grappling gear broke. The
cable remained unbroken. The Great East
ern has returned to England for stronger nnd
better-grappling gear, when the work will be
again resumed.
It is reported that Mrs. Adelia E. Sayers,
of New-Haven, Conn., who has been in New-
York for some time past, undergoing medical
treatment, has been druggad and abducted by
some scoundrel, who has confined her in a
house of ill-tame. The case appears to be
very mysterious, and is receiving the atten
tion of the police.
THERE was discovered in New-York on the
15th, another stupendous defalcation, to an a*
mount variously estimated at from SBOO,OOO
to $2,000,000, which occurred in the well
known bankiug house of Ketchum, Son &Co.
It is supposed that the missing money was
procured by abstracting securities and by is
suing fraudulent gold certificates. The al
leged defaulter is E. B. Ketchum, a young
man of 25, and a son of the senior partner
of the house. He was last seen the day pre
vious carrying with him an enormous amount
of bank bills, and it is supposrd that he has
absconded. A number of banking establish
ments are losers by the defalcation.
ON the 10th inst, Henry B. Jenkins, Pay
ing-Teller of the Phenrx Bank of New York,
was arrested charged whb having embezzled
$300,000 fro in the bank. He is 44 years of
age, and has been employed in the bank over
20years. James H. Earl,oneof Jenkin'sac
complices, formerly a clerk in, the bank, was
also arrested. Earl admitted that he had re
ceived about SIOO,OOO of the funds stolen by
JeukiDs, which he had lost in stock specula
tions. He was taken to the Station House,
and the following morning was found dead on
the floor of his cell, having committed suicide
by piercing his throat with the blade of a
small pen-knife. A considerable portion of
Jenkin's share of the money was squandered
by him on a concert saloon girl, and these
funds she aud a male friend have been living
in luxurious style. Gross sensuality appears
to "-have been the primary cause of Jenkins'
ruin. Since his arrest, a diamond ring, worth
nearly SI,OOO, has been recovered from an a
bandoned female in Crosby-st., who confessed
that he had frequently given her large sums of
money.
THE military coat of the lamented Col.
Dahlgren has been found in the possession of
a Rebel in Norfolk with five bullet holes in it.
Two colored soldiers were executed at
Brownsville, Texas, on the 22th ult., for out
rages uu remains. An nUr* division of the
Twenty-Fifth Corps (colored)paraded on the
occasion, and the appearance,discipline and
deportment of the troops formed the theme of
enthusiastic commendation.
TUB negro population of Washington con
tinues to be increased by arrivals from Mary

EFFECTS OK WHOLESALE CLEMENCY.—A
Raleigh, N. C., telegram of August Bth
states: Parties arriving here from different
parts of the State say that there is a great
change iu the conduct of the late rebel sol
diers. Their complete submission and good
intentions to the Government for the first
two weeks after the collapse of the rebellion,
challenged the admiration of all loyal men,
but since the wholesale display of clemency
to the rebel leaders of wealth and influence,
this treacherous and arrogant class have
poisoned the minds of these soldiers against
the Union, and are now organising them for
a political conflict with the Government and
a war against the Union men and negroes.
They are having everything their own way
in designating delegates to the convention
which they expect will soon be called. Un
less the Government interferes and excludes
theii leaders from participating in this body
the tnie Union men will have nothing to do
with its deliberations, which they claim will
result in a farce and ruin all who are associa
ted with it
