It is therefore one of the best medimns in the country for advertisers. firijrlf you are a Lawyer, Doctor or other professional man, advertise. you want to sell goods, advertise.

The puffing business is played out with us un less our terms, 15 cents aline, are strictly com plied with, nor do we make any reduction on our advertising to accommodate our best friends. There is no use for Us to establish prices if we do not be governed by them, and we shall hereafter as heretofore, know no fa voritism. We hope those persons desiring to use our columns will save time by examin ing aur terms and complying with them.--tf. BgL. We take great pleasure in returning our thanks to the numerous subscribers of the INQUIRER for the prompt manner in which they have come forward and paid their sub scription in advance. We believe that we have the best paying patrons in the State. We are also very highly gratified at the nu merous subscriptions which we have received; during Court week upwards of twenty volun tarily gave us their name 3 without any exer tion on our part, and better than all this, paid in advance. The has almost dou bled its circulation within the last two years, it is now rapidly approaching 1,400, between 1,100 and 1,200 of this number are circulated in Bedford county, making it one of the best advertising mediums in Southern Pennsylva nia. This circulation then, we have no hesi tation in saying, exceeds the bona fide circu lation attained by any other journal in this county at least 500. This is certainly very encouraging, and with a little more effort on the part of our friends the TXOUIRER will era into the hands of two-thirds of the Union men in the county, when we succeed in ac complishing this feat, Bedford county will give us a clear Union majority of three hundred. Friends, there are twenty-six hundred Union voters in the county, the INQUIRER ought to be in the hands of two thousand of them at the least calculation. We are giving as much reading matter as any county paper published, and we are excluding all the demoralizing advertisements which too frequently crowd the columns of the country press. In a very short time we will be clear of them entirely when we will not likely renew the contracts. Friends, spread intelligence it is the safe guard of Republican institutions. —tf.

DURBORBOW, Chairman Union Co. Com. M. A. POINTS, See'y. HORSE THIEVES.— Our jail has been the re ceptacle of some four or five horse thieves within the last week. Horse stealing ap pears to be a paying business. Three were stolen down in Londonderry the other night; two from one man. The thieves were not sharp, enough and they were captured and lodged in jail. Justice awaits them. THE SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. —The engineers who have for the last year been running experimental surveys between Connellsville and Chambersburg, commenced this week locating the road between this point and Mount Dallas. This we hope indicates an intention on the part of the Company to complete the Bedford road from its present terminus to this place. No greater favor could in any event be bestowed upon our peo ple; nor do we think that a better investment could be made. Railroads, generally make business; this has been most fully verified in the case of the Bedford Railroad. The Broad Top Company have not been able to supply the demand for rolling stock. By its exten sion to Bedford the trade would be increased two-fold, while we would have the assurance that the Broap Top road would be improved. We hope that the company will put the seven miles between this point and Mount Dallas under contract at once. PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE.— This institution, located at Gettysburg, is rapidly rising into public notice and favor. We observe with pleasure that its enterpri sing and energetic trustees have resolved up on such a modification of its preparatory De partment, as will make it at once a most de sirable place to which parents can send their sons at an early age, with the assurance that they will be cared for and trained as in a well conducted family. The Rev. Mr. Ehrhart, of Middletown, who has had much experience in such matters and is in every way admirably adapted to take charge of such an establishment, has been elected Principal of the Preparatory Depart ment and a member of the College Faculty. He will at once take up his residence in the large college building and take personal su pervision of all boys who may be committed to his care. The trustees intend to erect a large building during the coming year for the special accommodation of this department. The attention of christian parents is espe cially invited to the advantages of this school, which is located in a moral and intelligent community, in a proverbially healthy region of country, somewhat retired and yet easy of access by railroad. Especially for those who intend to send their sons to Pennsylvania College hereafter, is it desirable that they have such an opportunity of giving them their preparatory training with special reference to the course of study pursued in that institu tion. For particulars in regard to the price of tuition, boarding, &c., parents and guardians are referred to Rev. C. J. Ehrhart, of Mid dletown, or D. A. Buehler, Esq., Gettys burg.

The Atlantic Monthly, (Boston: Ticknor & Fields,) for September is on our table. It is an interesting number, and opens with "Cou pon Bonds," the first instalment of a story of New England life at the present day, showing already some skill in the delineation of char acter. "Dr. John's" continued, "Running at the Heads," an authentic account of the capture of Jeff. Davis, from one who partici pated in the exploit, "Visit to the Edge worths," "A New Art Critic," "Needle and Garden," "The Chimney Corner" "Ode Re cited at the Harvard Commemoration'' are ail interesting and worthy a perusal* Arthur's Home Magazine, (T.

The London Quarterly Review, for July con tains a number of able and interesting articles on various subjects, under the following heads: "Grouse"' "The Appian Way," "Browning's Poems," "The Close of the American War," "North Polar Exploration," "Gleanings from the Natural History of the Tropics," "The Church in her Relations to Political Parties," "Carlyle's Frederick the Great," "Sanitary Reform in the Metropolis," "The Elections."

The Wesimintter Review , for July, in "La ter Speculations of Auguste Comte," and "Herbert Spence's Principles of Biology," gives more than its usual quantity of meta physics. They are both away among the clouds to the majority of readers. "The An ti-Slavery Revolution in America," is better by far and full of feet, truth and human sym pathy. "American Novelists: Theodore Winthrop," is an eminently appreciative ar ticle. The other articles in this number are "Political Economy," "Imperial History," "The Principles of our Indian Policy," and "Contemporary Literature." Letter from Cumberland Valley* CUMBERLAND VALLEY, Sept. 12, 1866. Editors Inquirer: —Thinking (hat a few lines from this out-of-the-way place would not come amiss, I thought I. would pen the same, though not having any news of impor tance to write. There is rather a dearth of that article here at this time. In fact this place was never noted for any very important news, without it was when a runaway slave from some part of "Dixie" was "taken up," safely lodged in jail and the reward jingling in the pocket of the catcher. But strange to say, that, even, has "played out," much to the chagrin of some men who think that mo ney pays well at ten per cent, interest. We would advise them though, to be of good cheer—the raising of wheat also pays well at three dollars per bushel. Copperheadism here after the election will very much resemble in appearance the last run of shad. The soldiers are determined to attend to the skedaddlers from the draft, (roost all of whom have skulked home,) on the second Tuesday in October. They think, and rightly too, that men who deserted the cause of their country when called upon, should not have the same privilege at the ballot box that men have who faced the mo- I sic, and put an end to the most infamous re bellion that ever disgraced the annals of the world—and they are determined they shall not. There are some thirty deserters from the draft in this township, a fact which does not speak volumes for its loyalty. You might probably ask the reason of this. The teach ings of the Gazette —the god the ignorant wor ship, the editor of which, if we may judge from his paper, is about as much qualified to enlighten a person as a blind hog is to watch a meat house, and propably less. Whether the Cops will endeavor to hold a meeting here prior to the election, is rather doubtful. We rather think not, though they might prevail on some of the bounty-jumpers, skedaddlers from the draft Ac., to attend, but we are of the opinion that they would proba bly have some objections to being caught out from home. The editor of the Gazette has taken it upon himself to send me some copies of his "vile, loathsome' sheet, which I wish him to under, stand I do not thank him for, and further, I want him to discontinue sending the same. He might probably put his paper to some other use, or at least I do not want it. Truly yours, ALEXCS. FOREIGN NEWS. A wealthy and respected lady in Canada, on her death-bed, confessed to a clergyman that she had, at various times, committed six mur ders by poisoning. She said she was posses sed of a mania for destroying human life, and that her inclination led her chiefly to the de struction of those closely allied to her by blood. Four of the six victims had been her own children, and one her first husband. The French Universal Exhibition for 1867 is regarded with much interest.

Austria and Prussia have settled their dif ferences for the time being, and divided the plunder acquired in the Danish war.

The Great Eastern will be immediately dis patched from Sheerness to Newfoundland, and on the way will endeavor to grapple and buoy the broken ocean cable, in the success of which enterprise strong hopes are indulged. It has been determined in England to attempt the laying of another Atlantic telegraph next year, making use in the work of the recovered portions of this Summer's cable. In England, the catacomb vaults on the west side of Kensnl Green Cemetery were re cently found on fire.

Wherever this disease has appeared, the cholera has quickly followed. From Mexico it is rumered that the Impe rialists have forced the army of the Republi cans from the Rio Grande, and are now oc cupying the whole country, with the excep tion of a small portion of Chihuahua, in which Juarez and his government were at last ac counts, attempting to make a last stand. The headway which the revolutionists are making in Haytihas forced President Geffrard to flee to a place of safety. The English think they have found beneath the church of Bosham the body of the youth ful daughter of the Danish King Canute.

Ten acres of the Antiet&m battle-field have been purchased for a cemetery in which to bnry the remains of the men who fell in that memorable battle. The work of interring is now in pregress. The residents of North Missouri will not al low returned bushwhackers to live in peace. The obnoxious parties are duly notified of the fact. Rebel officers are not allowed to enjoy the proceeds of robbery and mnrder practiced on Missourians, but must go elsewhere. A suit has been commenced in Missouri by a Union soldier against Sterling Price and other Rebels for $60,000 damages for false imprisonment early in the war. The success of this suit will be the signal for many others. A steam car with a dummy engine is in op eration at St. Louis, making 15 miles an hour and running without noise or smoke. GOT. Fletcher of Missouri lately made a speech for the benefit of those who refuse to take the oath, and said: "I intend that men who commit crime hereafter in this State, by undertaking to decide for themsclres the laws which are to be spit upon and trampled under foot, shall be provided with suitable quarters, in case they escape the banging they well de serve." Government has tafceo such precautions that the Treasury cannot be a loser to any considerable extent by the swindles of pay masters in Virginia, or by any other similar operations. It is thought that ultimately the President's pardon will carry with it complete restoration of all property hithertt regarded as abandoned and now in possessionof officers of the Freed men's Bureau. Application has been made to the Freed* men's Bureau for the employment of 1,000 freedmen in extensive coal mining operations on James River. It is rumored in the South that a Govern ment tax of 25 cents is levied on every pound of cotton raised, which is quite generally be lieved by the planters, who are plowing up cotton and planting wheat Syrup manufac tured from sorghum is, according to these reports, to be taxed 50 cents a gallon, and the cane is therefore being fed to the hogs.

Jefferson Davis and ex-Gov. Clark, of Mis sissippi, commanded the Ist and 2nd Regi ments of Mississippi Riflemen in the Mexican war.

A Bio INCOME.— We have now the official figures of the customs revenue of the gov ernment through the port of New-York in August. The month's revenue amounted, (in hard cash) to $13,190,400, or an average of $488,533 a day for each of the twenty seven business days of the month. Thus far in the current calender year the coin re ceipts for customs at this port have reached $60,185,538. This is the total for eight months, making the monthly average nearly $6,525,000, or full twenty-six million dollars in excess of the grand total annual coin in terest charged on the funded debt of the na tion. And this is the result for the port of New-York alone ! It would seem as though Uncle Samuel cannot fail to meet with his uniform punctuality, all the specie claims of his bond-holding creditors. The noble old fellow appears just now to enjoy a prodigi ous measure of prosperity. Long may ne flourish.— N. Y Timet.
