{. REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

The "Republicann County Convention held
in this place on the thirteenth inst, nominated
the following ticket: Legislature, George w.
Householder, e. Providence; Associate Judge, j.
Metzsar, Juniata; Treasurer, Martin Mlllburn,
Bedford Borough; Commissioner, William
KeefFe, Bedford Township; Poof-Director, ia
cob Evans, Londonderry; Auditor, Samuel Over
aker, Colerain.
This ticket was nominated, as the resolutions
state, because the Democracy expressed an un-
willingness to make a fusion ticket TO be COM
posed partly of "RePublicans" and is denom-
mated by the ''RepubIcan" Convention 'our
own ticket" that is, the. special and particular
ticket of the "Repubicans" of Bedford county.
This ticket, Therefore, represents all the sins and
iniquities of the party which last fall elected
Andrew G. Curtin and Abraham Lincoln. In
other words, it represents. the "change" which
the success of those candidates has brought up
on the country.
No MoRE PERsoNALITY.-In In the last few is
sues OF our paper, we devoted some space to
our own vIndication against tie malicious at
tacks of certain unscrupulous and dlshonorable
scribblers for the Abolition organ. The last
number of that paper satisfies US that there IS not
spark ofhonesty honor, or fairness in the char
acter Of the men who control that sheet, and
shall, therefore, hereafter treat their person
al abuse with silent contempt.
MILITARY COMPANIES Several companies
of volunteers are about being raised in this
county one at this place, by Capt. Filler, and
another at ClearViIe. Whilst there are many
things connected with the objects and conduct
OF this war that we cannot approve, yet we are
anxious 70 see sufficient number of troops sent
10 the Capitol of the nation TO render its safety
certain. Wehope that Capt. Filters company,
as we'll as others that may be organizing, will
be filled up rapidly.

AFFAIRS IN ST. MARY's COUNTY, MD.-Runn.
ray Sldrss-Pnt-olS called ont The Leonard-
town Beacon Of Thursday has the following in
relation to affairs in that neighborhood:
Three negro men, representing themselves as
runaway slaves from Virginia, were arrested and
lodged in our county jail on Tuesday last They
crossed the Potomac In canoe, and were arrested
by private citizens and handed over to the sheriff
They Were young. likely negroes and stated that
"they had heard great deal Of talk about Mary-
land, and came over to See il the truth had been
told them" They represent their masters to have
been absent from home at the time thew deter
mined upon their tour Of investie alton We
learned on Tuesday last that there had been many
recent cases OF runaway in this county Would
1t not be well to reorganize the system of patrol
that proved so efficient herr last winter,
Since the abandonment OF the patrol the
negroes have pretty generally fallen into their old
night providing habits and we hear of several
who have ran away from their owners and are
now lurking In the county. The patrol force has
never been legally disbanded, and are conse.
quently at liberty to go upon duty whenever they
may think the public Interest requires It, We
believe that 1t requires II now, and we recon-
mend that the force in the different districts pro-
coed at once to make organIz cation and 90 upon
duty and remain upon duty while the present
excitement through the country continues to exist
We hope to hear that the patrol force are I'm active

minutes Of the time, as stated by General n tbss
enemy appeared In sight. Gen Bonham then
commenced to fall back, but, contrary to orde,s
one gun Of the Alexandria Artillery under com,
mand Of Capt kemper, was opened upon the Id
vancing enemy. Four shots were fired ever
one of which, Ii Is said, moved down the ensmy
but the horses attached to the gun becoming mn
manageable, and the enemy by this time heinz
very close upon him, Capt X was forced to lea vs
his position and abandon his gun, not, bowevs,
before spiking IL, and taking his horses. which
he detached from 1t.
Our troops continued to fall back until thar
reached Bulls Run, where a stand was mads
the enemy in the meantime advancing, until tbev

the position Of affairs remained until yesterdsv
