-. BEDFORD DRAaooNs. company is
now forming for the protection OF the people
and their property il Bedford county. They
made their first turn out on Monday. They
will parade again on Saturday, 4lh inst, at 10
O'Clock, A. NJ. All able-bodied men from ev-
cry part of the county, are earnestly urged to
join the same.
-. Our young friend, S. s. Msizger, Esq,
returned to this place, on Monday last, from
tour through he South. Mr.. NJ. visited
Charleston, and Savannah, and made consid-
eaEble sojourn at Montgomery, the capital OF
the c. s. A. He represents the people OF the
Seeded States TO be 10 state of great excite
ment, and determined to achieve their lndepea-
dence a. any cost, men, boys and negroes, to the
last one able to carry gun, enlsting for the
conflict. He also informs US that the same kind
of terrorism exists :here that now exhibits IL
self among the more intoerant friends of the
Government IN the North. Truly, We have
fallen upon evil times, when feelings of such
deadly hostility prevail between men who once
were friends aud ought now to love each other
as brothers.
-. The new Military Company, the "Tay-
lor Guards" Capt, Filler, which left this place
for Harrisburg, on Thursday oil last week, nas
been filed up from other Companies, and is
| now, We believe, stationed at York, in This
State.
-. Court was 10 session during the present
II cases having bHggh t58qst If heu usB
agreement OF counsel.
I'VE return our thanks to those of our
| patrons who have responded TO oul call for mo-
ney. Duns are not intended Tor those who are
in the habit OF paying regularly, but for those
dslinquents who owe US from the beginning. -
We desire this to be understood
... Considerable excitement was caused in
our town, on Saturday evening last, by the f.
ring of several yolleys from what seemed TO be
guns of large cahbre, on the mountain Inued.-
ately East of Us. A party Of scouts went GU,
to reconn7itre, and found that holes had been
bored into trees, filled with powder, plugged,
and then discharged by the application of a
slow-match. We hope we may never have a
more serious bom0ardment.
Capt Lyons Company, the old "Bed-
ford Riaemen," has reached the number necess-
ary for It's acceptance by the Governor The
| Captain has rendered the services Of the Com
pany, and as the Government has called upon
Pennsylvania tor additional tIoops, we Fave no
doubt the gallant fellows composing this com
pany, will have an opportunity to do their du-
! ~ ere long. The "Bedford Riasuen" have
aiwaysbeen iavorItes ofours, and we WIS., them
well wherever they may 60.
We were on the police few nights
| ago, but had no adventures with midnight as
SassIns, highway robbers, For even with hem
roost thieves, or belated Fsparks'. Two of our
/ fellow watchmen arrested a pair Of fra velI;ro
carpet-bags, over which they boasted wonder
iuiiy' Our only exploit was taking prisoner
one oil our brother ''pprlees,'' who had wonder
ed out OF his ''beat,' and was bending his steps
IN direction which we were fearful might
bring him 10 his bier.
There is rumor prevalent here that
case OF ynching was attempted at Woodberry,
lew days ago. We hope for the good name
OF the people of that neighborh2od, that il is not
true. We suppose that it is one of the thou
sand aud one flying reports that are started no
one knows how, and without the slightest toun-
datIon. There is Law for the punishment ot
treason. Let the people resort to that and No,
their own base passions. There IS also i Ian
Tor the punishment of fatse Imprisonment, ri-
OTIS, assault and battery, murder, SC. Let law
les evil-doers beware!
