IMI-ORTANI ADDITIONAL. BOLNTV Brit.— The following is the additional bounty bill which has just b en passed by both Houses of Congress, and now g-se.- to the President: ! Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of j Representative* ot the United S-'area of Amer tea in Congress assembled. That if any per son or persons entitled to the bonify provided by sections 12and 13 of the act making appro priations for the eit il -erviee, approved July £->, 1866, ehail have di>-d, or shall die before receiving said boo ity, it shall be paid to the heirs of the soldteru. a.- d'-signale i in said act. in the order therein named, and to none other. THE persons who have so promptly re sponded to our eail for money due as, will accept oar earnest thanks, ami those who have not yet had an opportunity to respond *dl find that opportunity when they come in to Court next week, or if they do not come in 'bemselvesto send what lh-y owe, fcv their neighbors. There are at least five thousand dollars due us thac we ought to have. We have been paying at least one half the expen j —s of the printing office by the ready money ! which we have made in our profession and it j is about time that the printing business sup- j port itself. Come, pay up I THE Huntingdon Globe thicks that monkey - tak., better in Bedford and Huntingdon ; ;n.u iiu-rary iee'nres. These two villages ' are-i it singular in this reapect.

LANDOWNER* LOOK -TO TOTLK TITLES. WE learn from the Rejtort of Surveyor General Campbell, that there is a sum due the Com- BBGHWea'th on returned surveys, mortgages and special Hens amounting $1,882,036 67 an : .hat there are 9,277,462 acre* of unpaten ted land in the State. Under an act of the Legislature approved the 20th day of May, A. D. 1854, the "Surveyor General is authorized to make oat u list of all lands held by location or any other office right, issued from the Land Department of this Commonwealth, of every kind aud description, upon which no patent* have issued, designating the county iu which such lands are situated, with such other descriptions of the same as the records I of his office will enable him to give, including i the names in which such locations or other ; office rights are entered, and surveys have been returned; aud on the list being comple ted, or any part thereof be transmitted the protboootary of the county iu which such lauds are situated, and he is further directed to calculate the amount of purchase money. interest and lees, due on each unpatented tract: and after the descriptions of said tracts have been transmitted to the protb oratories of the respective counties, and entered as . hereinafter provided, the amount so found to I be due, together with five dollars for the ! labor and costs, of making out and filing, : shall form an aggregate sum which shall be entered in a lien docket to be provided and • kept for that purpose, and said sum shall bear interest at the rate of ix per cent." Mr. Campbell suvs: "Since my last report, the clerical farce in the office, as far as it could be spared from the ordinary business, has beeti faithfully and energetically employed in getting out the Rat of unpatented lands, 1 and calculating the amount thereon." "The amount of labor and care required in this work, can only be fully realized by those familiar with it. for it involves the closest scrutiny of a great portion of the papers and records in the Department: in fact, an over hauling ol what remains unfinished of all pre ceding administrations." We Seam by this tbi-t the work is going rapidly forward and we know that a vast number of these lands lie io Bedford county. Persons desiring to know whether their titles are clear of the Commonwealth can apply to Dusborrow A Lutz, who will have the matter promptly looked up at llarrisburg and save the fees that will be necessarily imposed if parties wait until the lists are filed in the Prothona . tary's office. TIME TO STOP. —Within the limit of a week J we have been asked to'sign two petition*, one j for the appointment of a drunken man to an i office, the othtr for the pardon of a horse j thief sent from here to the Western Peniten- i tiarv about six months ago, fay the term of | —years. As a matter of course, we refused. Rut ; we took time to read the petitions and look j who bad signed them. We saw there the j names of many men of character and stand- j ing in the commuity, men who if their names ; were published to the world would be heartily ashamed at finding themselves exposed—men ' who cry loudly about corruption aud venality | in our public officers —men whein no one , would suspect of countenancing or in any way encouraging the things they thus loudly con- j demn: yet we here find this very class of men giving the intiaeuce of their names in bo.b tbe above named petitions. We are glad that Gov. Geary has set the example of pub- j lisbirig the names of all parties signing pti- . lions for the pardon of criminals. We prom ise. that, for tbe especial benefit of these good people and that their professions and tbeir practices may be contrasted, we will publish hereafter tbe pardons of criminal* from this county, with the names of the petitioners as soon as they are made public by the Gover nor. If men have no regard for the interests of the community and care neither for the j honor or character of public officers, nor the | safety of cur farmers horses, we will at least j let the farmers know whom they have to ; thank for setting horse thieves at large. If j : it has come to pass that all or any members I of the bar are willing to do anything for a ' j fee, (and much as we desire to honor the pro- i ' fession we are constrained to acknowledge 1 j that this is ttO much the case: it is high time 1 the people should know it. Venality, corrup ; tion, and crime are not so fearfully prevalent without cause; and the inconsistency and i Hypocrisy of those who decry crime wi h their : lips and encourage it by their deeds :- not ; the least among the causes. L. RAILROAD MEETING. — The attention ut the ■ citizens of Bedford county is directed to the C;R for a railroad meeting on next Monday evening. Bedford is once more left out in the cold. The veil which has hung over us for the last four years, has at last been lifted and we are coolly told that the Southern Pennsylvania and Connellsviile railway was a mere paper creature to force the Pittsburgh and Coonelisville Company out of existence, and having failed iu this the roate is to be ; abandoned. This was our position during the entire controversy, but tbe friends of the Cen tral in-isted that it was otherwise and that the Central would be compelled to have another track or route, and whether successful or un successful in her contest with the Pittsburgh and Conneltsville, it would be ail the aarae. Tbe last Report cf J. Edgar Thompson settles the question. This being the case it behooves the peoole i of Bedford to look after their own interests. ! They have already depended long on others. The Conqensviile Railroad will be completed within two years, if the finances of tbe country will permit. By the coestrac tir,n of a railway from Bedford to Bridgeport, a distance of tweuty miles, Bedford will be connected directly with Biltim ire. Washing j ton, Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Cumberland. ; Ail those cities will be interested in securing our trade and. we have no doubt, will sab i scribe liberally to secure the construction of | tfi'o road. Besides this tbe Bai'timore and j Ohio raiiroad should take a large share of the stock because heie it would enter the { field agvnst the Central, and on the other | baud, if Philadelphia wants our trade she must come down handsomely. By the coo -1 atruction of this road our merchants will cn j ji-y advantages enjoyed by tew in the State. ( They CAM buy their good* where they will rc ] ceive the best terms. We thi*c the road ought to be built without any difficulty. MAGNOLIA WATER is a delightful toilet ar i tide -superior to Cologne and at halt tbe , price. P.

Apl I:ly ' [UOJMCXK-ATION.J BEDFORD TOWXSUIP, FEB. 24RJI 1863. To the Board of School Director* of Bci/'urd Township. • GENTLEMEN: — The IMPORTANCE of common school education will be my sufficient apology for addressing you this note to call your at tention to the unlawfulness of the existing common school* of thi* township, and to re spectfully suggest to you the remedy therefor. And as the matter concerns ihe_pubiic who are your constituents, and au election for school directors i* near at band, I address yoa through the public print. It is known to you that lasf winter, on peti i tion of myself and and a nnmber of others, an j act of Assembly was passed adding to Bedford Borough for school purposes a portion of thi* Township as far east as Dr. Anderson's fartu and as far south as tbe Springs. The District added includes more than thirty families, more than fifty scholars, and about $400.00 of school tax. Prior to this, all these were practically without school privileges. The school bouse to which they were required i to seud i* the one called "Shaver's Valley, " a mile and a half south of the Springs, near ; to Mrs. Richardson's, and is a log building | altogether unsuitable, located in a neighbor hood entire' Y OUT of the way for the majority of the scholars, where a teacher could not T find suitable boarding, and where every sum mer the school bouse is stripped of its sa:-h, Ac., until the fall finds it a neglected wreck. Under the direction of some of the members of your Board, a long remonstrance was got up last winter, and again this winter, against ibis law. No doubt you miss our tax which I for years you have used to keep up your other schools. There never has been a year to my knowledge when you spent on tbe Shover's '."alley school as much as one fourth the tax paid by this District. Oftentimes the school was not kept open the length of time required by law, sometimes not at all, and when opened some boy was got to go through the semblance of teaching ten or fifteen irregularly attending scholars. To the repeated remon strances of myself and others you were as deaf AS a post, and you B-gleeted year after year to provide us a suitable school-house, and refused to make any arrangement permit ting us to pay our school taxes in the Borough and send oar children to the Borough schools. You. therefore, I am sure, on reflection, must admit that we did nothiog more than was right in procuring legislation by which we were attached to the Borough. But oar District was not alone in being neglected, although ours was the most outra | geoas case. In truth there are not a suffi cient number of school houses in the town ship and most of those that are, are n>t suits ble buildings. The law makes it your duty to "establish a : sufficient number of schools for the education I of every individual, above the age of five and I 'jnder twenty one vears, who may apply''— and it also makes it your duty to "procure ! suitable lots" and "erect suitable buildings." The language of the law is imperative. You j SHALL do these things. Now. gentlemen, I can see no reason why you should longer de j lay to comply with tbe law. Why not borrow six or e>ght thousand dollars and proceed at '■ once to erect ten or twelve suitable school houses, suitably located; or more than that, i if more are reaiiy needed, and then levy a sufficient amount of taxtoearryon the schools and pay -..'ff. say one thousand dollars each year of the loan? Bedford Borough, which is really no richer than tbe township, erected a few years ego a school building at an ex pense of $14,000, and did it in the way pro posed. by a loan which was gradually paid off. That buildirg is a monument to the advanced public -pirit of a few citizens, and will re main such through the ages as they roll. ; If you build tor tbe whole Township at j once as many as may be needed, you will ob viate the dissKtisfaction that will arise by building one school-bouse at a time; for each I neighborhood fancies its owo necessities the : most urgent. And whenever a suitable school house, suitably loeated for the wants of the people lately added to the Borough, is j in good faith determined npon by your Board, i those people will, I have no doubt, cut seul ! to the repeal of the law. More than this you j ought not to expect. You ought not toask us ; to pay school tax unless you give as a school. Gentlemen of the Board of School Bisec tors. yon have an opportunity to "do tbe j State some service," and do yourselves some credit. Miss not the occasion. "Peace bath ; her victories as well as war?" Erect ten or 1 twelve neat, comfortable aud convenient, I brick school-houses, with properly enclosed play grounds, and your children and your children's children for generations wili re member with pride and repeat with satisfac tion that you were the school Directors who inaugurated this good thir.g.

This br::._- the line to the eastern base of the Kooky Mountains, and it expected that the track • itl be laid thirty mile* further, to Evans PM., tbe highest point on the road, by January. Tbe meximfe. rrilo from the foot of the mountains to the jo mlt 1- hut "i-hty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern romde la over one hundred. Work on. the rock-cutting on the western elope 1 vanLznu* through the winter, and there is now au rear ~': to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pacific will he open for business in 1870. The means provided for the conitruetion ol this Great National Work ere ample. The I'm ted States grants its Six per cent. Bonds at the rate of fro'a M te $48,600 per mile, for which it takes a reread free as security, and receives pay ment to a if not to the full extent of its claim in services. These Bonds are issued as each twenty-mile section is finished, and after it ha.' been examined by the United States Com- 1 in.siioners and pronounced to be in ell respects a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots repair-shops, stations. and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. ihe United States also makes a donation of 12,¥00 acres of land t<> the mile, which will be a source of large revenue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte Vallej is among the most fertile ill the'world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine forests end abound in coal of toe best quality. The Company is alse authorized to iussue its I Own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the issue of the Government and no more. Hon. E. D. Morgan and Hon. Cakes Ames are Trustees for the Bond-bolders, and deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the work progresses, so that ihey always represent an actual and prodnctive i Ttlue. The authorized capita! of the Company is One | Hundred Million Dollars, cf which over fire mil- | | lions have been paid in upon the work already | done. EARNINGS OP THE COMPANY. A; presve;, ihc profile of the Company are de rived only from its local traffic, bntthisis already much more than suffi tent to pay the intersts on ill the Bonds the Company can issue, if not an other mile were built. It is not doubted that wh.n the road is completed the through traffie of I the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific j State, will" be large beyond precedent, and, as there will be no cetrt-v'ttion, it can always be done ! at profitable rates. It will be noticed that the Union !'• iffic Rail road is, in fact, a So. • -( IFo.-h, built under I ' the supervision of Government money, and that : J its bonds are issued i-Dtler Government directors. ] It is believed that no similar security is so care- j | fuliy guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a large or more valuable property. As the ! Company's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, are offered for the present at 90 CENTS OX THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in the ! market, being more than fifteen per cent lower | than U. S. Stocks. They pay SIX PER CENT. IX GOLD, I or over NINE PER CENT, upon the investment i Subscriptions will he reeived in Bedford by BUPP AND SHANNON, and in New York at the Company's Office, No. 10 Nassau street, and ; by CONTINENTAL NATIONAL BANK, No. 7 ' Nassau street, CLARK.
