Address Deacon & Peterson, 319 Walnut stteet, Philadelphia' To the People of Bedford County. Soldier's Monument. The public mind has for some time been considering the propriety of erecting some suitable memento, in honor of the men, who have given their lives in defense of their coun try, during the war recently closed. Some of these have been slain upon the field of battle; some have died in our hospi tals from wounds and disease; some haveper- I ished in prison, and others have returned to their homes, bearing with them the seeds of disease, contracted amid the exposures of the camp, the prison and the field, andhaving liv ed to see peace restored, have died among their kindred; all alike resigning their lives in a common defense of a common country. Some repose among their own native Hills and valleys, the remains of others have not beeu, and cannot be recovered; but it is pro posed to erect upon some suitable spot a mon ument, upon which, the name of every one of Bedford County's heroic dead, shall be in scribed. Many other counties in the state have com menced the erection ofsuch monuments with in their limits, and Bedford County should not be behind hand in so grateful a work. In the counties having within their limits, our large and wealthy cities, magnificent and costly piles will be erected. In more rural locations, less ostentations but no less appro priate structures willbe reared. Weof course, can only emulate the latter. In several of the inland counties, sums have beeu raised, by subscription,for this purpose, varying from seven thousand to twenty-five thousand dollars. Bedford County should make the effort to reach at least the mini mum of those. At a public meeting of the citizens of the county, held on Wednesday evening of Court week. Feb- 14. the undersigned were ap pointed a central committee for the purpose of undertaking this work. Executive committees will be appointed in each Borough and Township, to co-operate with the County Committee, in soliciting sub scriptions, and collecting statistics relating to the dead, so that not one name may be for gotten. The friends of the movenßnt, throughout the county and as far as spoken of, there seems to be a universal approval, are of one mind in saying that Five Thousand Dollars, is the least sum that should be appropriated to this object; and from encouragement al ready received, the Committee feel assured that all that is necessary to ensure success, in so laudable an undertaking, is, to have it brought to the notice of our citizens. We therefore ask the active and immedi ate co-operation of the Township and Borough committees (to whom due notice of their ap pointment will be given) and of all interested in the matter. We also, respectfully ask of the clergy, that they will read this notice from their pul pits, and recommend the work to their peo ple and aid ns by their influence, and person al exertion. It may be proper here to state, that the Bedford Cemetery Association, have Gffered to donate to the Monument Committee, as much ground as may be needed for this pur pose ,jn one of the most beautiful and valua ble locations in the cemetery.
