orb Inquirer. BKDFOKD. PA., FRIBAT, JAN. 18, 1807. TIIE DUTY OF CONGRESS. When the Constitutional Amendment, submitted by the last session of Congress to the people, was passed, it was believed that tho South was disposed to accept the re sults of the war and to abide thereby. Un der this impression, and hoping that the President would acquiesce if not assist in the Congressional scheme of reconstruction, the terms were made the most lenient possi ble, and indeed much more lenient than some of our nio.-t experienced and far-see ing statesmen then deemed advisable or prudent. Up to the present moment but a single rebel State has accepted or shown a disposition to accept tho condi tions thus offered. Happily for the nation, this is so. It is well for the peace and safe ty of the country, that they have rejected the proffered terms. The bitter, uprepent • -at. cruel and 'blood-thirsty spirit of rebel lion is still rife in evury Bciutherii Utote, The fearful gulf into which wo might have 1". i n plunged, by their acceptance of the amendment, has since become apparent, t'l.iifiding too much in their false profes sions of repentance, we unsuspectingly' en dangered all the fruits of tbe war. Now that our eyes have been opened to the true spirit that still actuates our late enemies in arms* let thorough work he done. W itb the remembrance of New Orleans, and the evidence of the continual and cruel persecu tion to which loyal men. while and black, are subjected throughout the Bouth, let Congress, not rejecting the amendment, for it too is essential, do its duty promptly and fearlessly. To our brethren we have offered terms morffvuagnanimous than were ever before offered to rebels and traitors. Not a single one even of their leaders has suffered capital punishment, nor been banished the country for his trea son. Ou the contrary many have been unconditionally pardoned, and all have en joyed the protection of the laws. Wc have offered to receive them back to tho fold, asking only that our own safety be assured, but they have laughed us to scorn. Our proffered band of friendship has been re jected with contempt. Our people have essayed to go among them, settle upon their lands, till their soil, build up manufac tures, develop their mines and assist in restoring them to their former prosperity, but their welcome has been with pistols and bowie knives. Wchave wooed thetn with the kind deeds and loving words of friends. They Lave shown themselves ungrateful, even for the food that kept them from star vation, and their ears have been deaf to our entreaties. The efforts of friendship have all been futile. The spirit of the conquer ed is still rebellious. Soft words and hon eyed phrases must be abandoned. There now devolve upon us the stern duties of conquerors. They will not come. Our bu siness is to tiring them into tne fold ami un der the dominion of the laws. They former ly turned aside immigration, drove away enterprise and crushed the growth of tho South with the incubus of slavery. They now endeavor to attain the same eichisive ness, and in their selfishness, by persecution, would drive out all tho loyal men who at tempt to transplant into Southern soil the intelligence and enterprise that have given wealth and power to the North. We have awaited their pleasure for almost two years in the vain hope that they would return voluntarily. They have departed further away instead. We can wait no longer. The necessities of the country, burdened as it is with debt, require that all her powers of production shall be developed in order to lighten our burthens, and demand that tho rebellious spirit of her people shall no longer be permitted to lock in unproductive idle ness the immense advantages of soil and climate possessed by the South. The;,- have refused to open their doors and give protec tion to those who wish to enter and develop the resources of their country. The people, whose treasure bought and whose blood re deemed it, now demand that Congress hall take prompt and vigorous measures for securing a loyal government in every Southern State, that shall give protection to the persons and'property of all who en ter their borders without regard to race or color. Time presses. The dictates of pru dence demand that there be no more unnec essary delay. Congress has the power, and backed by the will of the people should not give ear to timorous counsels, but address it self promptly, boldly and vigorously to the work. If loyal and stable Stale govern ments had been promptly organized and protection given to all men, resident as well as immigrant, immediately at the close of the war, the South, to-day, might be in a condition of prosperity and able to contrib ute its share towards paying the national indebtedness. She should pay it all. Under anv circumstances she must pay her share. Every dollar she is made to contribute is so much taken from the shoulders oi loyal Northern men. When the South pays her share our taxes will be but half what they now are. This alone is sufficient induce ment for the restoration of the South to even more than its former prosperity, at the earliest possible moment. But such pros perity can only result from a government that gives to men of every race and color protection to persons and property, and equal rights licfore the law. This they Jo not now possess in any Southern State : nor can they as their Governments are now or ganized. Rebels control them at present and loyal men are ostracised. Henceforth let the fundamental idea, in all legislation by Congress on the question of reconstruc tion, W, that loyal men shall TUIC. In no other course can we have any assurance of safety. Let rebob realizo that we are the conquerors, with abundant power to enforce obedience. Until they learu e 0 render obe dience let the privileges of citizen* (> e with held from them. When wc have eovrn ments established, safe in the hands of loyal men, we can afford to let rebels wait and repent at their leisure. BGL-The A irgiuia Legislature rejected the constitutional amendment on Wednesday, only one member voting for it. ! TIIADDEHS'STEVENS' SPEECH- On our first page will be found tliespeosfc of I Lit*. Thaddeus Stevens ou tho iutroduo tion of his proposed substitute for the Ena bling Act of lust sessioo. Wc publish the bill along with the speech and ask for both a careful perusal. The rejection ot the Amendment by the South has rendered some legislation similar to that proposed in this bill absolutely necessary. If the bill as it stands be not passed, its main features will be embodied in whatever legislation, the present Congress may devise for reconstruc ting the Southern States. All who believe that loyal men, and not traitors and rebels, should rule the oountry, will give the Great Commoner an impartial hearing. t;E!. A. 1,. RUSSELL. We clip the following well deserved and highly complimentary notice of our Friend and former townsman, Gen. A. L. Ilussell from the .Montour American. It has the greater significance at the present time, in the midst of the Senatorial contest, from the fact that Gen. Russell is a warm fricnl of Gov. Curtin, while the Am i icon is an earnest advocate of the claims of Gen. Cameron: "VVii notice that D. McCleary has been ap uovert]or elect. We do not know him. but take it for granted that he is a good man, or he would not have been chosen Tor the office; but we do know that no better man than Gen. Russell, will ever hold that position. Much of the efficiency ot the military conduct of Pennsylvania, during the war, is due to the active," vigilant and untiring efforts of Gen. Russell. Always at his post, with a mind that comprehended all the minutia of his depart ment, and a will uncontrolled by personal considerations-with an earnest, honest patri otism, that made him the Warwick of the great occasion—the friend and protector ot every soldier in his rights, and the terror ot bounty brokers whose haunts were broken op and the sharks made to disgorge, by bis per sonal interference. His annual reports are full, clear and spirited, forming invaluable public documents, and an official history of the war." IIAUKISUUKG CORRESPONDENCE. Hakkisburg, January 10, 1807. The public will be rdeased to learn that the forthcoming Report of the Adjutant General is a document calculated to be of interest to each and every family who had a representa tive in the I'ennsylrania forces during the late war. Complete lists of the two hundred and ten regiments, besides all the unattached companies, batteries, etc., arc to be found in the work, and great care has been taken by Gen. Russell to have them' correct in every respect. The same report shows that since September, 1801, the State issued 227 flags, 35 standards and 112 guidons. Of these 2X7 flags and standards have been returned, 11 were lost or destroyed, and the balance are unaccounted for. The volume referred to contains a complete record of the three months' regiments that entered the service at the beginning of the war. These were scarcely mentioned in former reports. 1 won Id advise your readers to secure a copy of this valuable State document. u A glance at the list of members of the Leg islature discloses the fact that not a single Senator whose term expired with the close of the last session, has been returned, while, on the other hand, fifty-two Representatives have Deen re-eiecreu, several rur lue nnru term. After a recess of five days, the Legislature re-assembled on Tuesday last. Duriug those five days there was quite a calm, politically speaking, many of the members having gone home. But on Tuesday the storm broke forth with redoubled fury. The all-important topic —the Senatorial question—became the theme of conversation and warm discussions on ev ery comer and in every hotel. On the same day Hon. Thaddeus Stevens made his appear ance here, and his quarters at the Jones House were visited by many prominent Re publicans. To fully realize the true state of affairs in this great contest, your readers would have to witness it. With Camei on men, Curtin men, Stevens men and Grow men, all pressing the claims of their respect ive friends, there was no little excitement. It cannot be den ied that the game oi brag was played by all parties, and it was claimed that each of the aspirants had enough votes to insure his election. Unfortunately, there was but one Senator to be chosen, and three of the four prominent candidates were doom ed to disappointment, as will readily be ob served by a glance at the result of the caucus held on Thursday night. The votc-s cast for Governor at tho October election were counted at a Joint Convention of the two Houses held ou Thursday last. The result was as follows : For Gen. Geary 307,274 For Heister Clymer 290.000 Geary's majority 17,178 Both Houses have passed the following preamble and resolution : Whereas, It Las been currently reported for some time past, and charged in the public prints of the day, that improper influences have beeu used to secure tbe election of va rious persons for the office of Tnited States Senator : Axn Whereas, Such charges, if unfounded, are derogatory to the character of the Legis lature and should be disproved : or if true, should be at once ascertained, in order that the guilty parties may ho brought to justice and punished : therefore, Tbut u CommitUo „f ini-ao tigation, consisting of three members of each House, be appointed, whose duty it shall be to examine into tbe truth of such reports ami charges, and report to each House the result of their investigations, and that such Com mittee shall have power to send for persons and papers. The above originated in the House of Rep resentatives, where it was introduced by Mr. Stumbaugh, and, after its passage there was taken up in the Senate and adopted. The standing Committees of the Senate were announced ou Tuesday. Your Senator, Mr. Stutzman. is Chairman of the Committee on Election Districts, and is a member of the Committees on Judiciary, Local, Private Claims and Damages, and to compare Bills. The first anunal banquet of the old Penn sylvania Reserves will be given in Harrisburg on the 30th of May next. Every honorably discharged officer or soldier who ever belong ed to the Reserves is iuvited. Circulars can be had by addressing John 11. Taggart, Box 562 Philadelphia, giving name, rank, compa ny and regiment with Post office address. On Thursday evening the Republican mem bers of the Legislature met in caucus to nom inate a candidate for United States Senator. But one ballot was necessary, and it resulted in a majority of eleven for General Cameron, over all others. The vote stood : For Came ron, 46 ; Cnrtin, 28 ; Stevens, 7 ; Grow, 5.

Friend's Cove is one among the desirable, if not the most desirable localities, in Bedford county. When viewed from the mountain summit, 011 either side, it suggests the idea of an oasis in the desert, or a green and lovely island in the midst ol the ccenn. The cove itself, is some fourteen miles in length, by three and a-half in width. Stretching from a small river in the North-east, denominated by a classical Tourist the "Blue Junia ta." to the fork of Evitt's mountain, u> the South-west. This picturesque plain, thus reposing in the embrace of the mountain, presents a scene of natural beauty, worthy the pencil of a Raphael : or the descriptive powers of a Defoe. However, pilgrim in his meanderings, must not be overcome by a consciousness of the sublime, or become oblivions to earthly realities, by offering ob lations at the Bhrine of the muses. As pleas ure and pain are nearly allied in life's jour ney, so Friend's Cove is only separated from the "State of Southampton," by a single mountain range. A similar barrier though less difficult, divides it from the "narrow val ley," in which is located the borne of "Con servative," where some regard true loyalty a crime, and where "Lilliputian pfoscriptiqn ists" do their deeds of darkness. It is said that the Cove derived its name from one or two of it's early settlers, bearing the cognomen : "Friends." Those sturdy pioneers, long since yielded to nature's stern decree, and now sleep that sleep which knows no earthly waking. Their offspring have wandered far from the plains once trod by their fathers- and the quiet oburoh yards, wnerc tnetr dust reposes. Whilst rricnaxnij> may be found in every dwelling, and hospital ity enlivens each social circle although wo have inquired diligently, we Lave not bei u able to find, amongst all the friendly inhabi tants of Friend's Cove, u single man, woman, or child, contra —distinguished from others by the ennobling appellation, Fkiexii. How ever, if the thing siguified, exists, the name itself is of but little consequence. Some otio has said : • 'A rose l*y any other cau>, Will stnell as twoct." Pilgrim does not claim for the Friend's Covites, exemption from faults, or perfection in all things, because they in common with olner looolities, have "Sprung from the mna wbeia gciltv fall Corrupts his race and taints us alk" It is due them. however, to say that from the time in which we were piloted across the Juniata, by an unknown youth, opposite Mt. Dallas, until now, we have received nothing but kindness at their bunds ? o*ir pilgrimage through the Gazetted "Slate of Hootliapip. ton," as is known to the renders of the lK- QtTRSK, wa- no oration. Although we did ! not entertain an unkind thought, with regard to the inhabitants of that region, and simply photographed the scenery, a? we paused along. The fre'of "Horrics-rnn." was incur- I red. Deeming "discretion the better part of ' valor," we hastened our escape from the win- I dy storm, and tempest. Whii.-k in trap in, j we heard the noise of strange creatures, and . the low distant muttering of borrowed thun der, yet the heavens are now serene ! Tho sun shines brightly ! Pilgrim still 11 vol, and finds security and shelter amongst the Occupants ot tins beautiful Cove, Reposing In the lip of the mountain We are at present employed iti collecting incidents —historical and.otherwise. and also transferring miniature representations, to our sketch-book.

An indulgent public, it is hoped, will charitably excuse his act of indiscretion, und obvious departure from the rule of editorial Etiquette.
