Bedford, May 25,1866. SOLDIERS' CONVENTION. —The Soldiers' Convention, which was held in our town, on last Saturday, demonstrated the earnestness with which our soldiers are pressing the equal ization of bounties among themselves. The Court House was filled with the heroes of many battles. Col. Filler stated the object of the meeting. The following organization was then effected: President—Col. AI.EX. COMPHER. Vice Presidents—Captains N. C. Evans, T. 11. Lyons, John Horn, John S. Stuckey. Secretaries—John T. Keagy and Alexander Lyon. The following gentlemen were chosen a Committee on Resolutions: Joseph C. Long, Bloody Run: Lieut. John B. Helm, Bedford: " Jacob Ketring, M iddle Woodberry; " C. P. Calhouu, E. Providence; " John Swarts, Snake Spring: " Levi Smith, Bedford tp.; Espy Gallighcr, Schellsburg. During the time that the Committee on Resolutions were withdrawn a few brief re marks were made by several gentlemen, upon the justice aud equity of the measure, which they were assembled toconsider and urge for ward. Mr. Long then reported the following reso tions: Resolved, 1 hat we hold it to be the duty of the Government to make a just equalization ot bounties, so that all who have served in the war against rebellion, veterans and draft ed men alike, may receive a fair compensa tion for their services, and that we will sup port no man for Congress or for the State Legislature, who will not unequivocally de- i clare in favor of such a measure. Resolved, 1 hat the almost illimitable pub lic domain, stretchiug to the Pacific, should be allotted in homesteads to those who per illed lite and limb in preserving it from the grasp of the rebels. Resolved. That the present allowance to the wounded veteran, and to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in battle is altogether inadequate to their support, and we ask in their behalf that a gene-rous and wealthy government will make ampie com pensation for them in the future. Resolved, That in order to obtain the full measure of justice from the Government, the soldiers should organize, and press their claims upon all proper occasions, until they are fully satisfied. Resolved. That we expect in accordance with the oft repeated ple'ages and assurances made in time of war, that the claims of those who have faithfully served in the field, will not be overlooked in the bestowal of politic al favors in times of peace. Resolved. That Col. Lewis A. May, Major l>. IV. Mullin, Capt. S. Stuckey, Capt. S. S. Metzgar, and Sergt. Scott W. Hughes, be the ohosen delegates to represent the interests of the soldiers of Bedford county in the Sol dier's Convention to be held at Pittsburgh, on the sth of June next, c-ach of these dele gates allowed the power of substitution. It may not be amiss to notice that the Re publican Brass Baud, under the leadership of Prof. Hohman, complimented the meeting with its presence and favored it with some of the choicest music that can be found any wheie in this section of the State. EQUALIZATION OF BOUNTIES. —The Ho use of Representatives on the 25th ult., passed the bill equalizing bounties of soldiers, sail ors and marines, who were engaged in the late war. There were only two votes against it on the call of the yeas and nays, Messrs. Nicholson, of Delaware, and Trimble of Ken lucky. There was little or no debate on the bill. It provides in brief, that to every sol dier, sailor or marine who has been or may be honorably discharged from the service there shall be allowed eight and one-third N dollars per month, or the rate of one hun dred dollars per year for all time which they served between April 12th, 1861, and April 19th, 1865, and in case they have been discharged from the service on account of wounds received in battle or while engaged in the line of duly, the said allowance of bounty shall be computed and paid up to the end of the term of service for which the en listment was made. In case of death of any while in the service, or in case of death after discharge, and before the end of the term of enlistment of discharge, on account of being wounded, the allowance of payment shall be made to his widow if she has not been remar ried; or if there be no widow then to the minor children of the deceased who may be under sixteen years of age. In computing and as certaining the bounty to be paid there shall be deducted therefrom all bounties already paid or payable under existing laws by the 1 nited Slates, or by any State, county, city, town, or other municipal organization, or by *)• voluntary association, so that in no ease shall the aggregate amount of bounty allowed and paid from all sources exceed eight and one-third dollars for each mouth of actual service, or at the rate of one hundred dollars peryeai. No bounty is to be paid to any substitute or to any soldier discharged on the ground of being a minor or to any rebel deser ter who enlisted in the United States army. *o assignments or transfers of bounties are to be permitted. The passage of this bill by the Senate is regarded as extremely doubtful. 1 Ue only objection to it is a financial one. A careful estimate shows that it would not take less than two hundred millions from the Treasury. TEMI'SIUNCE CONVENTION. —The regular Quarterly Convention of the I. O. of G. T. for West Juniata District met ia the Hall of Chimney Rock Lodge, No. 141, Hollidays btirg, Pa., at 10 o'clock a. m., May 17, 1860. Ihe meeting was called to order by Dr T. S.

The afternoon session was held in the Court House, and was opened with prayer by Rev. A. W. Guyer. The Convention sat with closed doors dur ing the morning and afternoon sessions. The business transacted was mostly of a private nature, belonging only to the members of the order of Good Templars. The objects of these Conventions is to bring persons togeth er from different parts of the district to con sult with each other and devise the ways and means best calculated to further the interests, and tend to the advancement, of the temper ance cause. This Convention was the best yet held in this District, and we have no doubt much good will follow as the result of its deliberations The next convention will be held in Bed ford on Wednesday, Aug. 15, 1866. Officers. W. C. T.—J. R. Durborrow. Esq. W. S. —M. A Points, Esq. Before adjourning, the following resolu tions were adopted: WHEREAS, In its inception and early pro gress the temperance reform was mainly a religious movement, and in all its history it has been greatly promoted by the Christian ministry and Christian Churches. Resolved, That this Convention invites and expects all good men and good women to unite, and be active workers in the promotion of the cause: aud it seems to us not improper to look again to the Christian Church to be again foremost in devising the means, and directing the agencies necessary to protect her membership and society from the evils ot intemperance. Resolved, That we iuvite the co-operation of our judges, lawyers and all good citizens in our efforts to put down the curse of intem perance and the trafiic in ardent spirits. Resolved , That the thanks of the delegates to this Convention are due, and are hereby tendered to Chimney Rock Lodge and the citizens of Hollidaysburg, for their kindness and attention during the period of the Con vention. Also, that our thanks are hereby tendered to the Commissioners of Blair coun ty for the use of the Court House. STII.L ANOTHER EXTRA NUMBER. — The American Agriculturist for June completes half of the 2oth volume of this sterling jour nal, and like all its predecessors this year, is of extra size—the first half of the volume containing 240 large pages, instead of the regular 192. The half volume also contains about 2-50 original engravings of a pleasing and instructive character. The publishers promise that the second half of the volume shall be at least equally valuable. Nothing but an immense circulation, running up well towards 150,000, we learn, could enable them to furnish such an immense amount of useful reading matter, and so many costly engra vings at the marvelously low price of $1.50 a year. None of the $3 or $-1 magazines excel the Agriculturist in costly and carefully pre pared matter, useful to all classes of persons. The June number, of which an advance copy is before us, is replete with information. A splendid engraving of the "First Proof Sheet" graces the title page. The Calendar embra ces many practical hints about the work for the month. The "Basket" contains over a hundred condensed articles on a multitude of topics. The various swindlers preying upon the country are as usual, with an unsparing pen. The "Walks and Talks upon the Farm," are full of practical information from the daily life on* a farm of 300 acres. The Farm, Garden, Household, and Children and Youth's Department, are also lull of practical information, illustrated by engra vings. Every number of the Agriculturist (costing but 15 cents,) is worth a year's sub scription, which is only $1.50. All subscri bers desiring them, can have the back num bers oi the volume, as the paper is electro typed. A dollar-and-a-half can not be bet ter invested than in securing the present vol ume (the loth, or Quarter-Century volume,) of the American Agriculturist.

Metzger and Scott W. Hughes, were elected delegates to attend the Soldiers' Convention which will assemble in Pittsburgh on the 6th instant. The Republican Brass Band was in attendance and discoursed excellent music. The Conventiou was very harmonious and adjourned with much good feeling. ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE. —Mary Barnhart, of this place, attempted to commit suicide, on last Friday, by taking a large dose of laudanum. Site was discovered a few min utes after hating swallowed the poison, and medical aid called in and the necessary -elief administered. She has fully recovered. We have not learned the cause which induced the wretched girl to resort to this means of self destruction. JB@°" We tall the attention of the public to the advertisement of l'rof.

A HOI'SEHOI.D BLESS UF4. —Among the arts and inventions of the day, the most import ant are those which contribute to the saving of labor and the protection of health. View ed in thiß light the Sewing Machine occupies a prominent position, not only from its hu manitarian characteristics, bat from its adap tation to all classes. In the drawing-rooms of the rich it is an ornament and a pastime, while to those in humbler circumstances it is a fruitful resource, a faithful friend and ben efactor. The men who have been instrumen tal in giving to the world the benefits of the Sewing Machine, have accomplished a noble work, and among their number GROVER <k BAKER are entitled to special distinction. These gentlemen are the patentees of what are known as the "Elastic Stitch,' and the "Lock Stitch" machines. The Grover &. Baker ' 'Elastic Stitch" Machine is prefera ble to any other, for the reason that it is more simple in its construction, more efficient, more easily operated, and less liable to get out of order. We have been at some pains to speak advisedly on this matter, and have no hesita tion in pronouncing it incomparably superior for domestic purposes to any other instru ment. Wa are sustained in this high esti mate. Wherever these machines have been exhibited in competition with others, both in Europe and America, they have elicited the same encomiums. The proprietors have la bored, to incorporate in their magnificent in vention the highest merits of which the Sew ing Machine is susceptible, and their efforts have been crowned with success. — Philadel phia Press. THE LADY'S FRIEND, FOR JUNE. —This su perior magazine leads off with a suggestive steel plate called, "The Mother's Blessing," illustrating a romantic story. The fashions are distinguished as usual for elegance and appropriateness. Airily graceful and deli cately gay, they befit the month of roses, of summer skies and soft south winds. "The Music Mistress," a good wood cut, also illus trates a story. Then follow some well chosen designs which the ladies will find useful, a Gored Dress, an Oriental Braiding Pattern, The Spanish Fichu, Grecian coiffure, fash ionable caps and bonnets. "The Old Family Clock," occupies the musical pages. Among the stories, "Which of the Two" is remarka bly good, even for the genius and practised pen of Louise Chandler Moultou; "Strategy," by Emma B. Kiplev, is excellent, and so is "A New Bud on an Old Stalk," by Frances Lee: and "Sybil Ainsworth," a continued story by Harris Byrne; "The Amber Spirit," is a short and striking article, with a quaint illus tration. The poetry is by August Bell, E. Margaret Starr, and others.

Americaus are proverbial for tlfe aridity ard commendable real with which they participate in enterprises having for their object the develop ment of our national resource]. At one time "Railroads"—at another "Coal"'—then "Copper" or "Iron" and more recently "Oil" have been the all-absorbing topics. In all these several enterprises, as will be recol lected, those who FIRST took hold of them made money ; some larger amounts than ethers, accord ing to their investments. Mining operations in the fields of Colorado and elsewhere note mainly engross the public atten tion. Considering that several such companies have been already organiied—they are now at work—that the reports from their mines are high ly favorable —that it is known that at the present time there are on the way from the ledges of Ne vada and Colorado numerous "bars of silver" and "bricks of gold," it is believed that the enthusi asm already manifested on the subject will, in a little time, be so gTeatly increased on the recent and exhibit of these "returns," that innumerable companies will spring up, whose stork, being bas ed at the then greatly inflated prices of ledges, will necessarily be less desirable than that now to be had—thereby giving to those #he avail them selves of the occasion now presented, of securing "original interests;" an opportunity of tin, uis. posing of the large amount of stock each holder receive*, at a handsome advance. With these preliminary remarks the following Prfpeett s is respectfully presented. Tbo property of the Company propose# to be organized by the sale of these "original interests," consists of the following Ledges, all situated with in a radius of live miles of Central City, Colora do. Trail Creek District. Mammoth Lode,® of 106 feet, Never Fail Lode.f of 200 feet, Vanderbilt Lode,J of 200 feet, Union Lode of 200 feet, Gold Ophir Lode, of 100 feet. Trail Kua District. Hoi man Lode,! ......of 200 foot, Banner District. St. Louis Lode, of 106 feet, Pensacola Lcde, of 10© feet, Upper Fall River District. . Abe Lincoln Lode, of 200 feet, Washoe Lode, of 200 feet, Minnie, or "Louisa" Lode, of 200 feet, Riddle Lode.g of 200 feet, "Being a total of 2000 feet or nearly a half a mile in length horizontally, of rich Goli-proda cing territory, of unlimited depth, together With all the dips, spurs and angles, and also all the metals, ores, gold, silver and other metal bearing quartz, roek, and earth therein, andaft the rights, privileges and franchises dcut, appendant and appurtcneaccd, or therewith usually had or enjoyed, under and subject to the jurisdiction of the Governnffettt 'Of the United States." The titles to all of which ctatms h&> e been ex amined by a mem bee of the Bar, resident in Colo rado. Hi- opinion is as follows: This Is to certify that I have carefully examin ed the titles to the foregoing lodes or lodges, and am satisfied that they are perfect. THOMAS MASON, Attjr at Law, Central City, Colorado. The space of a circular is too limited to give the opinions of numerous distinguished citizens and men of science who have examined this dis trict ; the following extracts relate thereto, and that of Professor Edward N. Kent in particular, of the New York U. S. Assay Office is directly in point: Our late lamented President —Mr. Lincoln—du ring an interview with Speaker Colfax, relative to the hidden wealth of Colorado, Nevada, Ac., said: _ ' "I have very large ideas of the mineral wealth of our nation ; I believe it practically inexhausti blc." The Hon. J. P. Vpsher, Secretary of the Inte rior, in the Ojficiul Report presented to Congress, dated Deeember sth, 1864, referring to the then present condition of our Western Territories, says: "The wealth embedded in the rocks of that extcn siva region is actnally inexhaustible, and it will furnish in future years, indirectly a principal part of cur means of liquidating the debt con tracted by the Government for the overthrow of the Great Rebellion." The Hon. H. P. Bennett, delegate in Congress from Colorado, in a speech before the House of Representatives said: "Judging from what I know of the undeveloped resources of this coun try; from what I am told by practical miners who are well informed upon this subject, I do say hem to-day before tbis House and before this Country, to be placed upon the records and read of all men —that within five year's time, and by the year 1569, the gold fields of Colorado Territory will produce $50,000,000 annually : and even then its full resources of mineral wealth in gold alone re main not wholly developed. 1 speak from the united testimony of many practical miners who • have spent many years in the mines of California, when I say :—that the gold-bearing region of Colorado is far more extensive,quite as inexhaust ible, and the gold-bearing quartz of a much richer quality than in California." Professor Edward N. Kent, of the New York Assay Office, says: "As to the extent of the gold mines of Colora do, I am not prepared to give an estimate, as I found enough to fully employ my time within a radius of five miles of Central City, [the location of the above Ledges,] but as to the richness of THEM, I have no hesitation in saving, that I 6c liere thtm to 6c fAc rickeft erer rfirtoptrerf. With deience, capital and the Pacific Railroad, Coloro so is destined in my opinion, to rival or supersede California and Australia, and become the El Do rado of the World.'* The opinion entertained by those abroad of claims in this district, is shown by the following extract : English capitalists have purchased £600,000 of the Colorado mining lands, and their agents and employees are now en route to develop the same. The claims are principally Russell and Trail districts, and a recrtitlfuirdhase has been the Sea ton Lode of 1000 fiet for which they paid £IOO,- 000. An idea Of'life value of some claims (100 feet each) maybe formed when the fact is considered that often occurs that they yield millions of dol lars, anddiave in several instances been sold for 825,000 per foot. Mr. Fields, from 334 fGet of the Cobtail Lode has taken out already over $200,000 in gold, and $266,000 has been offered and refused for 344 feet of this same lode, equal to for a claim of one hundred feet. As the purchase of either of the above lodes would require more money than the majority of persons have at command-, it has been determined to consolidate them, and to divide them iato Twelve Hundred and Fifty ORIGINAL SHARES which will cost the subscriber? hereto ONE HUNDRED DOI.I, IKS EACH. thus affording the man of limited means, as well as the capitalist, an opportunity to secure an in terest in this region of "practically inexhausti ble" wealth. As all are aware, the usual plan adopted for the development of such a property i* to form a company and issue certificates of stock. The plan here proposed may be considered prelimina ry to the formation of two or more Companies on these properties' which are subject to no royalty, lease or mortgages. The SUBSCRIBERS can then upon this solid and substantial basis, elect o®cers.from among them selves, each subscriber being eligible to the posi tion of an officer of the Company. In order that handsome returns may bh speedily realized, these subscriptions arc based upO'fi the proposition that the subscribers immediately on receipt of the Deeds (now ready for delivery, and which may be examined at the office of the un dersigned* before subscribing,) may lease their lands on heavy royalties, or at once organize Companies in the usual way for which there is an ample basis. To accmhmoda'fe those of moderate means these "interests" are put at SIOO each, in order to get the lst filled at once, and to prevent any delay in the organization of the Company. Considering the num'erous valuable "Lodges" which constitute the bati* of this enterprise—the fair and equitable features —the low prices at which "interests" In it are offered, and that each interest entitles the holder to his pro rata share of stock in all the Companies that may be organ ized upon them —also recollecting that in all, there are only 1000 interests to be sold, and it would only require one hundred gentlemen each to take ten ($1600) to absorb the whole, it is pre sumed that it is hardly necessary to suggest to those desiring to secure ohc or wore of these orig inal interests, to at once send in their subscrip tions. Checks or Draits should be drawn to the order of the undersigned, whose endorsement will be a receipt, in addition to the one that will be prompt ly sent on receiving them.
