§IOO REWARD!
We are authorized by reliable gentlemen
in this County, to offer a reward of.sloo
for the discovery of the two little sons of
Mr. Samuel Cox, of Union Township, Bed
ford County. This reward will be paid for
the recoveay of the children, dead or alive
We hope this reward will stiitiulate some
of the old hunters, in that desolate and al
most impenetrable region, to use every ef
fort in their power to restore these "babes
in the woods" to their afflicted parents.
P. S. We stop the press to announce
that the children were found yesterday, both
dcaii. We have a letter from Mr. Griffith
informing us of the fact.
LTSSIGXEL). —We are rorry to announce
the resignation of DA.VID C. LONG, Ksq.

best Commissioners we have ever had, and

THE LOST CHILDREN.
Up to the t';ne of our going to press, the
two little sons of Mr. Samuel Cox, of Union
Township, who were lost in the Allegheny
Mountain, on jesterday two weeks ago,
Imve not yet been found. There were hun
dred# from Bedford, Cnn.brta, Blair and
Somerset Counties, ail last and this week,
engaged in the search. On Sundav las',
it is estimated that there were at least two
thousand persons on the search. There
were about eighty out from this Borough at
one time alone. The greatest feeling is
manifested in that section, ar.d, in fact, in
every part of this county and the farmers
are neglacting all their spring work to en
gage in the hunt. The determination of
all appears to be, to fiud the poor little un
fortunate ones, dead or alive. We sincere
ly condole with the-afflicted parents in this
heartrending affair—more sorrowful to them,
than death to their little ones, tinder ordi
nary circumstances, would be. We would
still advise the search to be continued, so
long as tbeic is the least prospect of find
ing them.
A HARD CASE.—The Petersburg Ga
rotte, alluding to the difficulty experienced
by the Locofocos in finding grounds for op
posing Mr. Fillmore, remarks:
The truth is, Mr. Fillmore, we must con
fess, is rather a bard case. Almost auy
other man has some vulnerable point, per
sonally or politically, which might be suc
cessfully assailed. But his exalted private
character, bis unyielding integrity, and bis
consistent, patriotic, and national course,
while President of the United States, are
familiar to the country, and tbe scurrilous
and abusive mode of warfare usually resort
ed to by aoti-A'oericanism will prove una
vailing. The disingenuous charge of Abo
litionism won't do this time. It is a leetle
too stale to bo relished even by the unsus
pecting and credulous portion of the party.
The people at iarge will treat so unjust and
groundless an imputation with the scorn
and contempt it deserves.
The Locus also preumd to believe that
Mr. Fijlmore will not scoept the nomina
tion. Lot tbem not 4 'ay that flattering unc

AMERICAN MEETING
Pursuant to notice a very large and re
spectable meeting of the American party of
Bedford County, convened ia the Conn
House, on Tuesday evening last. The
meeting was organized by the appointment
of JOSEPH DULL, E-q., of Juniata
Township, as President, and DAVID MIL
LEK. Esq., of Harrison Tp., MOSES WISK
GAKYEK, Esq.,of Bedford Tp., ROBERT
GIESOX, Esq., of Bedford Borough, JOHN
MCILVAINE, of East Providence Tp., anu
THOJIAS BLACKBURN of St. Clair Tp.,
were chosen Vice Presidents, and (J'o. H.
HousrhotJer, Esq., of East Providence,
und WM. Overocktr, of Coleraiu, Secreta
ries.
The object of the meeting being stated, a
. committee was appointed to draft resolu
tions, expressive of the seU3c of the meet
ing, and also to appoint Congressional and
Legislative conferees, and a County Com
mittee for the ensuing year. The meeting
was addressed by Hon. Fa. JORDAN, in his
usual forcible and eloquent manner. He
reviewed the principles of the two parties,
in a national point of view, and showed
conclusively that it is the duty of all patri
ots to unite in advancing our patriotic cause.
He also touched largely on State politics,
and showed very clearly that the last Le
gislature was prodigal and extravagant in
its expenditure of the treasure of the peo
ple. He was frequently and enthusiastical
ly cheered throughout his entire speech,
which occupied about an hour arid a half in
its delivery. The meeting was very large
and the Court House crowded notwithstand
ing it rained very hard all tiie time. All
admit that it was a great dai larger than
the Loco foe o meeting of the night before.
The following is the Report of the Com
mittee:
Resolved, That iu Mass Meeting assem
bled, we hereby cordially eudorse and rati
fy the American nominations for President
and A ice President of these United States,
i hat in Millard Fillmore we recognize the
sound, patriotic and enlightened statesman,
whose private character, and long record of
public services, rendered to Lis native State
and the Union, are without a blot; and in
whom the people of the United States have
the highest evidence of fitness for the Pres
idency in thi: that he has been well tried
and never found wanting. That in An
drew J. Douelson we have a candidate for
ice President whose early training, un
questioned integrity, arid past public servi
ces, furnish ample assurance that he is wor
thy of the place for which his friends have
nut biro in nomination.
Resolved, That we do not feel called up
on at this time u> reiterate our fidelity to the
great and oft repeated principles of the
American party: or to declare in detail the
reasons for our utter hostility to the present
national administjutiua, which iu its zeal to
secure foreign influence and foreign votes
has recklessly traanpled upon the rights of
native horn citizens, and which has foigot
ten alike the precepts of our fathers, and
the interests of our common countrv by its
mud endeavors to iorce slavery into the
free territories of the Union by the most
flagrant violations of good faith, by fraud
and by force.
Resolved, That we take pleasure in en
dorsing the official conduct of his excellen
cy J a rues Pollock, Governor of this Com
monwealth, and of his official associates in
the administration of State affairs: That
their purity of purpose, integrity of action,
economy of the public funds, arid uniform
regard for the honor and interest of the
Keystone State, justly entitle them to the
regard and confidence of every good citi
zen.
Rcsolvd, That we regard the sale of the
public works of the State, and '"specially of
what is called the Main Lino of the State
improvements, as imperatively demanded by
the highest considerations of public oioral
iiy and pecuniary advantage; and that our
political adversaries in holding on to this
nevct ceasing source of public indebted
ness, and partizan favoritism and profligacy
have so disregarded public sentiment, and
tiie host interests of the State as t falsify
all their professions of economy and re
form, and to justly expose them to the uni
ted opposition of all patriotic citizens.—
I bat on these public works swarms of of
fice holders arc annually pensioned on the
public treasury to eat out the substance of
our taxpayers; large fortunes continue to be
amassed in a tow years by unscrupulous em
ployees: and so far from there being any
prospect ot redress, the last Legislature
voted down all offers for the lease or sale of
these public works, increased the number
of officers thereupon, rai.seJ the salaries
thereof, created a new office at a salary of
three thousand dollars per annum, thus ag
gravating all the evils heretofore existing.
Resolved, That David Over, Win. Kite la -
ey and John Mclivaiue be, and they ore
hereby appointed Congressional Conferees,
to meet like conferees from the other coun
ties in this Congressional district, at such
time and place as may be agreed upon, to
put in nomination a suitable caudidate
for Cougress.
Resolved, That Gen. W. Williams, Geo.
I>. Shuck and Daniel Washabaugh be, and
they are hereby appointed Kopresentative
CotrfeKes to meet like conferees from the
counties of Cambria and Fulton, to put iu
nomination suitable candidates for the Le
gislature;. aud that said conferees, together
with the Congressional Conferees above
named, have authority to appoint substi
tutes, iu ease of their sickness or inability
to uttend.
lit solved, 1 hat Francis Jordan, Ilenry
Xicodeuius, Peter II Sbires, B F. Harry
and John Taylor, be, and they are hereby
appointed a County Committee, with the
usual powers iu like cases.
W ISCONSW-—Tbo telegraph report that
we published some three or four weeks ago
to the effect that the American State Coun
cil Oi A\ isconsin had repudiated the nomi
nation of Fillmore and Doaelson is contra
dicted, the report now being that Wiscon
sin has ratified the nominations of the
American party, and that she will give them
a hearty support in November. So mote it
be.
Foreign Voles.
It is a startling fact that of the 1,767
administration votes given in Hartford,
Connecticut, at the late State election,
1,100 of them were those of foreigners,
chiefly Irishmen; and of the "A,300 votes of
the same character given iu New Haven,
more than 1,500 were Irishmen Ger
mans, <S:c!
The \\ ashington correspondent of the
ilarrisburg Telegraph noticing this fact,
very appropriately remarks that—
"Well might Mr. WALKER exclaim, n s
he did most eloquently, in the House a few
Jay s ago.
Sir, we need the inculcation of a stronger
nationalism —a more jealous watchfulness
of our institutions and privileges: a strong
nationality is natural, its cultivation poli
tic. Under the Roman republic tins na
tional sentiment, this jealousy of nationali
ty bespoke itself in the various laws guar
ding Roman privileges from the intrusive
grasp of foreigners and aliens. No alien,
no stranger to the soil could bold one rood
ot that Roman mother earth. No stranger
enjoyed even the most partial privilege, ex
cept through the solemn adoption of the au
gust Senate. Rome was invincible in arms
public virtue, wisdom and policy, and pro
duced individual character which Christian
ity lias scarce surpassed until she spread
herself out over Europe, Asia Africa and
the "islands of the sea," corrupting, dilu
ting, and finally destroying her nationality,
and the boasted title of "citizen of Home"
became a sneer auil a reproach.
lit Greece, nativity to the sou! was in it
self a patent of nobility. To the mothers
and daughters of Greece alone belonged
the golden grasshopper, the significant sym
bol of autochthonous descent. And in the
sub'imc theocracy, divine iu its grandeur
of conception, its wisdom and operation,
how intense is the nationalism! Nationali
ty, the strongest instincts of human heart,
was seized open and used a- the means of
publishing to the nations the great veriety
• f the universe, the power and unity of
God.
"The wide-world over" he also said
"whatever is cheap is little valued—that
which is easily won rarely commands the
strife of a tiohlc soul." This is true to the
letter, and it is one reason why we value
our birthright so little that we are willing
to share it in common with, or confer it upon
all the felons and paupers not of Europe
alone, but ofjthe whole world.
Mob ami I'iot in Elk!
On Saturday last our citizens were shock
ed by the intelligence, that a mob had ct l
lectel in Erie on the previous night and
destroyed the Constitution Printing (hT.ro,
and committed other disgraceful outrages.
It seems, from what we can learn, that a
son of John il. \\ alker, Esq., met a bro
ker named Cochran, (who had committed an
aggravated assault auJ battery on his fath
er, Mr. W., about a year ago, tor which lie
was fined thirty dollars!) in or near the
Constitution office last Friday, when thev
got into a fight. It is said Cochran got the
worst of it. In the evening the old Court
House bell was rung, a large crowd soon
gathered, and Cochran addressed the iriob
in an excited manner, when thev proceeded
to the Constitution Printing Office, broke
down the doors, carried out the presses,
types paper, in short all the contents of the
buildings, including a Law Library belong
ing. to Mr. Johnson, the editor, and piled
them in front of the building and applied a
a torch to them!— All Mr. J'*, valuable
papers— private and professional—were des
troyed. Not satisfied with this, the mob
literally cut down the buildiug itself, a two
storied frame, belonging to Mr. Johnson,
leaving it a complete mass of ruins.
After this '•glorious victory," the mob
proceeded to the editor's bouse, and not
withstanding his wife had onlv been con
fined a frw days before, stones were dashed
in at the windows and the inmates terribly
frightened by the yells of the crowd out
side. Tho houses of Mr. Tracy, a promi
nent railroad man, and of John H. Walker,
Esq., were next attacked, the shutters bro
ken in and the glass shattered by balls fired
into the rooms! Tho inmates escaped with
their lives by a miracle.
Duriug all these outrages, the Mavur,
the Sheriff, and the Police were not to be
found—not an effort was made by them to
stay the wild ftry of the mob. These
shocking acts will create a thrill of indig
notion over the whole country. Whatever
sympathy may have existed for the alleged
wrongs of the Ericatis, such wanton outra
ges will scatter it to the winds.— Craufotd

The Bishop of Poebla had refused to oom-.

that excommunication and the thunders of

subordination, on the ground that they re
fuse to assist tlie Government, and have ex
pressed tl.eir detcrminatiou to side with the
clergy. The Government, however, was
firm in its determination to carry the decree
into effect, and it was believed would be
supported by the great body of the people.
The fugitive partisans of Maro in the States
of Mexico and Michoacau. had offered to
place themselves at the disposal of the Gov
ernment, if clemency would be extended to
them. The rebellion had been entirely mas.
tered in tlmse States. This-papers say no
thing of the conditions of their submission.
A doubtful rumor prevailed that very seri
ous difficulties had arisen between the Mex-1
Kan Government and nearly the whole of j
the diplomatic corps.
OUR POSITION. —Having received assu
rances from a source entitled to confidence,
that Mr. Fillmore will accept the nomina
tion which has beet, tendered-him, on terms
entirely safe and satisfactory to the South)
and just to every portion of the Union, we
tills morning run up to our masthead his
mime and that of Mr. Douclsun ,tbe latter
having already signified his acceptance.—
V e take this step upou our own responsi
bility, and without a suggestion from any
quarter, our information being such as to
leave us no longer in doubt as to the course
which Mr. Fillmore will pursue. We are
satisfied moreover that the ticket presented
is acceptaole, not only to the American par
ty, hut to conservative men, irrespective of
paity, whether at the -South or the North.
We shall give hereafter the reasons which
have influenced us to this step. For the
present we would say wo do not support
Mr. Fillmore merely as the nominee of an
American Convention, nor yet as an oid
Whig of the Clay and Webster school but
upon the broad and all .sufficient ground of
his tried and true ability, his un.
flinching honesty of purpose, and his devo
tion to the Constitution and the Union, as
shown and illustrated by his past model ad- i
ministration.— Saointia'i Republican.
Latest from Mexico.
From our New Orleans exchanges, up to
the evening of the loth, we obtain further
information concerning the state of affairs
in Mexico.
The close of the Revolution
The news from Mexico informs us of the
close of the late revolution in that country.
President Oomonfort ha* been triumphant
at Puebla, where the rebel army had sur
rendered at discretion, and where the rebel
generals, chiefs and officers Lave been re
duced to the ranks as private soldiers.—
Whether this decree will be practically car.
ried out inay be doubted: but from the pub
lic h mors showered uu the President on his
return to the capital, on the' 2 I inst, it is
evident that the blow struck at the privi-
leges of the military, has been received
with universal favor. We may expect a
largo number of those tebel officers soon to
visit our city, as it is said some fifty of them
have been exiled.
But the most important decree is that
of the 31st of March, dated at Peeblu, in
which the clergy are acused of having ta
ken part in the revolution and the ecclesias
tical property of that Diocese, amounting to
thirty or forty millions of dollars, is seized
to pay the expenses and damages of the war
and to pension the widows, orphans and
wounded. This is the first blow struck di
rectly at the ebureh property, and as such
is one of the most important acts ever recor
ded in the history of Mexico.
The different .States of that Republic
seems to be quiet at present. How long
this repose may continue is uncertain.

Some weeks ago, wo called for the data
in connection with this expression, used by
the Boston Pilot towards the American
people. Our Boston "SUIFI.ER" furnish

notice that Br. Far well, of the Boston Pa

it is.

CAMPHOR AND YTRYEH.VINE._The ben.

ted by Dr. Tewkesbury, of Portland, Maine,
It appears that a boy was seized with oou
vulsious, and it was ascertained that he
had just eaten a biscuit, picked up at the
door oi an eating house, that was made for
the purpose of killing rats, and contained
about one and a half grains of strychnine.
The boy's spasms were so severe that imme
diate death was inevitable, though all the
usual remedies were resorted to. Camphor
could Dot he introduced into the stomach on
account of the continued lockjaw. Accor
dingly strong injections of camphor were
used, and the body immersed in a IK t cam

Tun AMERICAN CANDIDATE.— After
viewing the many persons talked of for
Presidential candidates, the Palmer (Mass.)
Journal doses as follows:
"In looking over the list of proposed
candidates, we see none that we should
prefer to the nominee of the American par
ty —Millard Fillmore. For soundness of
principles, correctness of example, UDJ pu
rity of political character, none can be poin
ted out who will excel hiui. Should he ac
cept the nomination tendered him, declar
ing himself in favor of true Americanism,
it will not be inconsistent, with the prin
ciples we profess, to give him oirr sup

The defeat of Col. Schlessinger at at
Rosa is confirmed. About 70 of his men
are reported missing. During his trial be

deserted, and it is supposed went over to the
Costa Rican*, having sold himself to them
before the battle !
On the tth inst. the Costa llicans took
possession of Ilivas with a fi>rce of '2,000
men ami on the 11th Gen. Walter attacked
theui. After a light of seventeen honrs he
was obliged to abandon the city for want of
ammunition. The loss of the Costa Iticans
is said to be six hundred killed and a large
number wounded. Walker's loss is set
down at between fifty and sixty killed and
about 80 wounded and missing. Among the
killed is Col. Marehado, the commander of
the native forces.
The El Niearaguense, Walker's organ,
claims this affair as a glorious victorv.
It was said that the Costa llicans had
taken possession of Virgin 13ay and fired
indiscriminately on every person they saw
there, killing eight or ten Americans in the
employ of the Transit Company.
On the 10th iust. Lieut. Green, with fif_
teen men, had. an encounter with about '2OO
Costa llicans, killing '27 and dispersing the
res*, whilst the American loss was only one
killed and two wounded.
It was reported that Walker intended to
atuck the Custa Ricnns at \ irgin Bur about
the 2dth, having I,OUO Americans and 1,-
300 natives under his command. With the
except ion of a few prominent men in the
former legitimate party, the Nicaraguans
acted with Walker.
The States of Honduras, S-,n Salvador
and Guatemala are said to be ia favor of
peace and will not invade Nicaragua. They
received the commissions from Nicaragua
in frier.dly spirit and had discontinued the
enlistment of troops aud disbaaded some of
their new levies.
An intercepted correspondence between
the British government aud Costa Rica, in
which the former agreed to contribute two
thousand stand of arms to 'he latter, caus
ed much excitement among the Americans
composing Walker's rrmy. A number of
Minnie liflea were captured from the Costa
llieans at Kivas, and several Englishmen
and Freuchuian were observed in the a rim .
Jhe letter making this effer of aims or
muskets is from the foreign office of Great
Britain to E. Wailerstein, the Consul Gen
eral of Costa Rica. There are several
other letters, oue of which was froui Mr.
Mutiny, the Costa llican Minister at Wash.
iugton, informing his government of recent
letters received from the governments of
Great Britain and Franco, in which great
sympathy is felt for the General American
States in general. Another informs Cne
government of Costa Rica that an English
fleet will he immediately sent to Pacific
coast of Costa, Rica.
The british frigate E'irydice was the only
lesselat San Juan x Her boats were con
stantly on duty watching the movements of
the Americas. The American passengers
who came down the river were prohibited by
from going on shore.
An official bulletin, issued by Gen. Mora,
declared that all filibusters taken with arms
in their hands would be put to death ; but
that all who had not used arms against Costa
Rica, and gave themselves np to the officers
of the Costa Rican army, would be pardon
ed. Appended to this paper was a list of
seventeen of Col. Schlessinger's party who
were taken and shot. They were mostly
Irishmen and Germans, only two were A.
tnericans.
Affidavits in respect to the indiscriminate
slaughter of American citizens at Virgin
Bay and the destruction of tho property of
the Transit Company by the Coata Ilioans
having been made, Mr. Wheeler addressed
a strong protest to Gen. Mora, not only
agaiuat auch conduot, hut againat such ocuv
duct, but agaiuat the threat to drive Ameri
cans from Costa Rica and Nioaragua ; and
unless explained and aioned for decided
measures on the part of the U. S. govern
ment were threatened by Mr. Wheeler.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The battle is represented to have
severe and desperate. A letter say<s •
"W alter could not have bad iu the field
a force exceeding six or seven hundred men.
Ho acted during the entire action with the
greatest coolness—exhibiting no fears as to
the result."
