Ihe Ifcdford §Ju<juim. BEDFORD PA., FRIDAY, IDKI'. 1, 1865. A FORETASTE. According to our predictions, immediately after McColloch's Fort Wayne speech, the experiment of sudden contraction has not only resulted in a sudien and embarrassing check to business generally, but also in send ing gold upward instead of down, and Gov ernment securities down instead of up, in other words results directly contrary to hose desired and aimed at, have, arisen from tho attempted sudden contraction. But this is only a part of the result, in ad dition that there, will also be a serious di minution in the internal revenue re ceipts, if the system is presisted in. This one month's experiment ought to satisfy the Secretary that it is impossible to reduce the price of an article in the markets, when a scarcity exists, by any other method than by reducing or supplying tho demand; and that gold is no exception to this rule. Gold has been for four years, and still is, an arti cle of commerce and by reason of the im mense quantities exported our supply is short and unequal to the demands. The true way to bring our currency to a specie basis is to increase the duties on imports so as to reduce their volume until our exports balance them, this will stop the export of gold, it will soon begin to accumulate and we will have a gradual but permanent de cline of the premium, and this result can be reached with but a very little or perhaps without any reduction of the currency. Notwithstanding the persistent cry, of infla tion, against the currency, the facts indicate that the actual increase is by DO means so great as many imagine, in fact but little if any more than what is required by the in creased business of the country. The State bank currency previous to the war was $207,000,000, the coin in circulation accord ing to the calculations of those who have access to the statistics was $300,000,000 making in all $507,000,000. The currency to-day is about $707,(XX),000 making an in crease in five years of extraordinary busi ness activity and high prices of only $200,- 000,000. Surely there is nothing in this ex hibit to frighten a sensible people or their Secretary of the Treasury into the egregri ous folly of precipitating upon the country a financial crisis, which would almost inevi tably drive us to repudiation. THE INSURRECTION IN JAMACA. It is somewhat amusing to read the vari ous comments ol the Copperhead press up on the negro insurrection in Jamaica. There appears to be a nervousness manifested on their part that is truly agonizing. We im agine that they wrile with great drops of perspiration accumulating upon their cloud ed brows and then coming steadily and si lently down their hardened cheeks, occasion ally one endeavors to put on air of calm de meanor and to moralize philosophically up on the probable success or failure of the in surrection, but beneath it, in traces as legi ble as the writing on the wall crops oat the haggard visage of him whose soul is moved by the hideous throes of distracted fear. Reader do you comprehend this ghostly display of "raw head and bloody bones ?" It is this : these enemies of the colored race time out of mind, have left no oppor tunity pass without misrepresenting the negro and endeavoring to prejudice the white race against him, and when they see him strike for manhood and liberty, a guilty conscience, charged with all the hideous de formity a distorted imagination can conjure, overtakes them, and with a more terrifying admonition, than an earthquake, tells them of their guilt. They imagine they already feel the cold and glittering steel of him whom they have wronged and persecuted. Ah, indeed, a guilty conscience make 3 cow ards of them all. And from this phantasm they crowd away in the most abject fear. It is strange, very strange, that men are such impotent creatures th at they fle from their own distended shadaws, however it is so, and it appears to be trebly so in the case of our Copperhead cotemporaries. We would pity the negro who would so far disgrace his race as to notice the ravings of these dema gogues. We do not think there lives a col ored man who holds the least resentment against those pitiable creatures for conatant ly berating them and their cause. Colored men have suffered loss of life, limb, prop erty, every thing at their hands without any retaliation and if they could stand al this, and more, heretofore, they can afford to he magnanimous now. We would advise our cotempoiaries then to brace up their trembling nerves, put on the air of manhood, at least, and do penance to atone for their former outrageous conduct, and the misera ble negro will not disturb their midnight dreams. THE Copperhead party before the war could hare been compared to a violin with a full set of strings. The first string might be said to represent State Rights, the sec ond Squatter Sovereignty, the third Seces sion and the fourth Slavery. One string af ter the other was swept away until now there is not a single string left to play upon nothing but the empty, dull "played out," old fiddle. No wonder there is no music in the party. The only element which dis turbs their quiet repose is the thunder of the late election huricane whieh has swept the landofCopperheadism from one extremi of the country to the other. THE Gazette of two weeks ago appears to think that the late elections were "consid erably mixed.'' This was evidently a great mistake never in the history of the coun try was there so few of the opposition al lowed to mix. The Gazette, however was in a straight and in its affliction it may have found some consolation in some unim portant munnicipal result while we counted on larger things. Small potatoes answer very well when you can't get larga ones. Speaking of potatoes reminds us that there is quite a similarity between the potato crop this season and the Copperhead party, both are failures and from the same cause —rot. J9"ln preparing a notice of the Repub lican meeting of Tuesday night of Court week the name of Gen. \\ m. H. Koontz was unintentionally omitted from the list of speakers. The General favored us with one of his ,ieat and pertinent speeches which was reoe ived with much applause by the audience. PERIODICALS FOR DECEMBER. Harper's Monthly opens with an illustra ted article '"Making the Magazine that is both interesting and instructive; "A com mon story" by Miss Mulock;" '"The natu ral wealth of Virginia, illustrated; * The Royal Portrait; "First and Lrst;" "Names of men;" Sally's Disappointment;" "As pirations;" "Armadale' continued; The conclusion of "Our Mutual Friend" and a few shorter articles mate up tha number. The Atlantic Monthly (Ticknor & Fields, Boston} for December has its usual variety of interesting matter, though hardly up to the average of previous numbers. The po litical article' Clemency and Common Sense' by Charles Sumner is an interesting and suggestive discussion of the vexed question of reconstruction; Griffith Gaunt; or Jeal ousy is the title of a serial by Charles Read, beginning with this number, that gives promise of inor? than usual merit. These with "William Blackwood" and No. 11 of "Chimney Comer" papers are among the most readable of the fourteen articles con tained in this number. Our Young Folks (Ticknor & Fields, Bos ton) completes its first volume with the De cember number. Its success as the leading children's periodical in the country is placed beyond a doubt. Its publishers deserve the thanks of all who feel an interest in the youth of our laud, for the manner in which they have carried out their original design of furnishing the best Juvenile literature in America. ( * Humorous Poems by Oliver Wendell Holmes, is the title of the fifth volume of the series of Companion Poets for the peo ple (Ticknor aod Fields, Boston) containing ninety-seven select poems from the humor ous writings of O. W. Holmes. OUR MUTUAL FRIBND.— Mr. Dickens has evidently bestowed more than ordinary care upon "Our Mutual Friend." It is easy to perceive that this story was not written piecemeal, like Pickwick and Nickleby, but with unusual study to produce rather a well balanced and probable tale, than that suc cession of brilliant sensational effects, which are expected, like striking tableaux, at the close of every act in a drama, and every monthly cessation of the "to be continued" fiction. His readers, we dare say, missed these flashes in the present work; but, when perused as a whole, their absence is more than compensated for by the superior development of the plot. This is Mr. Dick ens' best-built story. From the first, he had definite purposes to work out, by the dramatis persona" whom he created, and he steadily went on to that end, with little hes itation, pause or episode; One of the characters, Silas Wegg, is as great an original as Dickens ever drew— which is saying a great deal —and his friend Venus is only too good for such society, "Our Mutual Friend" himself, reticent and mysterious, is elaborated to a degree, but not too much. There is a great deal of hu mor in this story, more subdued than usual but it opens tragically, and the terrible pas sion of Bradley Headstone, the half-demen ted school-master looms out, gloomy and grand, like the murderar of Duncan, in "Macbeth.' We have'merely glanced at the leading characters; it is not fair to antici pate the story —to take the kernel out of the nut, as it were. But, we tell the pub lic, in confidence, that Dickens, like King Richard, is "himself again" in this tale, pun ishing vice and rewarding virtue, a literary Rhadamanthus. GODEY for December has arrived, and is an extra number. It contains a fine line engraving entitled "The Christmas Tree,''' a title page consisting of five tableaux, a double extension fashion plate colored, two other engravings and numerous patterns and styles of dress, bonnet trimmings, with a profusion of items particularly interesting to ladies.

PITTSBURG FEMALE COLLEGE—IMPOR TANT IMPROVEMENTS.— The Winter term of this sterling institution will commence on Tuesday morning, December sth. The term just closing has been one of the most success ful in the history of the college. Its mar vellous success, leading, as it does, every ladies' school west of the mountains, is the best comment on its superior advantages and excellent management. It now numbers among its patrons hundreds of our best cit izens and those of other States. A most valuable improvement is now in progress, a new recitation room, a large and beautiful room for the cabinet and a spacious and ele gant library and reading room will soon be completed and added to the already splendid facilties offered by the college to its pupils. We need hardily to repeat what we have so often stated, that in its literary and orna mental departments the college has no e qual in this region, and but few in the country.

A criminal named Hudson recently esca- Eed from illiams County Jail, Ohio, bv urning a hole through the ceiling of his ceil with a red hot shovel He left a letter sta ting that "it was foolish to suppose that a wooden building would hold a man with liffe imprisonment staring him in the face, and a family outside beckoning him home. A man in Columbus, Ohio, last week un dertook to drink 28 oz,of whisky for a wager He accomplished the feat, but died almost immediately afterward. The men with whom he made the wager were arrested as having instigated his death.

HARKISBURG, NOV. 24. —The secretary of the Pennsylvania steel works, after viewing all the sites in the vicinity of this city ten dered for the location of that establishment, decided to accept what is known as the Kel ker farm, two and a half miles southeast of Harrisburg. The ground at that placo is contiguous to the Susquehanna river, and immediately on the line of the Pennsylvania railroad. Engineers were on the spot to day surveying the necessary lines for the area required for the erection of these works. It is admitted by all practical machinists that this establishment will be the most ex tensive of its kind ever erected in America, and is to be on this continent what the cele brated works of Wade & Butcher, at Sheffield are to Europe—the two works being connec ted together by mutual interests and associ ation of capital. One thousand experienced workmen in steel will be brought from Eng land, while it is said at least fifteen hundred other skilled mechanics will he required for the full operation of these works. It is easy in view of these facts, to estimate the future influence of this enterprise alike upon the growth of this city in population and wealth and the development of the immense resour ces of the State. Governor Curtin has been confined to the executive mansion since his return from New York, until to day, when he took a short ride, and it is reported this evening that he is much improved in strength. It will be remembered that Governor Curtin is the only chief executive officer re elected to a second term in the free States, with the exception of Governor Andrew, of Massa chusetts, during the war Governor Hicks, of Maryland, before he had filled his 'first term, died from overwork. Governor Sey mour, of New York, left office with his health destroyed and Governor Fenton, of the same State, is in a similar condition. Governor Brough of Ohio died from the effects of one term of official labor, while Go vernor Yates of Illinois is now on his way to the tropics in search of the health im paired by his executive duties; Governor Cannon of Delaware died in office, and Gov ernor Morton of Illinois has been compelled to take a voyage to Europe to recruit his health. Governor Curtin is in his second term; and now after four years of unparalle led labor, for the first time yields to the sug gestions of his physician and friends to relin quish his official duties for a short time, while he goes to Cuba for rest and recuperation. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Curtin, Surgeon Philips, and one or two intimate relatives, and the paity have secured passage in one of the steamers which leaves New York next week. The Governor will return in time to pre pare his annual message for the coming ses sion of the Legislature. FROM NEW ORLEANS. NEW ORLEANS, Nov, 24. —The Times' Brownsville letter of the 15th inst., corrobo rates the statement of the Imperialists firing on a Federal boat drifting down the river. The crew ran ashore and took to flight. The Imperial fire was harmless. The captain of the boat narrowly escaj>ed, a musket ball having passed through his hat. It is understood that Gen. Weitzel has de manded an explanation of the affair. It is also understood that there has been a corres pondence between Weitzel and Meiia, rela tive to firing from the American side on the Imperial gunboat Elautona, and the evident sympathy shown for the Liberials, the na ture of which has not transpired. Mejia's order prohibiting intercourse with Brownsville cannot last long, as the Liberals again surround the city, and they will le compelled to draw supplies from Brownsville as heretofore. It is supposed the order was issued to prevent the ingress of spies to Mata moras. Mobile, —General Thomas arrived here this afternoon. His mission is purely on matters connected with his department and not on State Government. Intelligence from Central Mississippi re port a healthy condition existing.

The negro returned the fire killing young Stroup, and was himself shot dead by the father. JUDGE Underwood has condemned tho personal property of ex-Gv. Wise of Vir ginia for confiscation.
