re state without fear of successful coptradic-
tiou, that there are 90. twenty lisuniouists in
Bedford County, and they follow the lead of
the Bedford Gq=efte. The Democrats of Bed
sosd County, with the exception OF these few
referred to above, condemn the course of that
paper. and support the Government in its ef-
forts to crush this infamous rebellion, which
has been tegun with less cause than any other
in history. TIE following are few Of The
outrsges CT the secession traitors:
They marched in srned bodies aud compell-
cd the guards of the United States forts and
arscnals TO surrender them: but it was not
war.
With arms in their hands they captured mill
liens of dollars worth of cannon, small arms
and munitions of war, belonging to The Uni
ted States; but it was not war.
They seized lbe ships of the United States:
but it was not var.
They seized the miuts and the money of the
United States, and applied them to heir own
use; but it was not war.
They fired on an unarmed ship, carrying
supplies to fortress Of the United States;
but il was not war.
They besieged the fortresses Of the United
States, surrounded them with military works,
and cut of sheir supplies; but it was not war.
They fred on Fort Sumter, compelled the
lowering Of the American flag, aud the sur
render of that Fort; but according to the
BEDFORD Gazette, all this was not war.
But if the United States attempt to relieve
their beleaguered garrison, or even send them
provisions in an ousrmed vessel, It is war.
df they attempt to transport a cannon from
.sae fost TO another, or from n foundry to q
fort, it is war.
If they transfer soldier from fort to fort,
or from State to State, it is war.
If they scnd out thip TO protec. our citi-
Eens, it IS var.
To talk of executing their lavs, protecting
their commerce, OF collecting their revenue, il.
is war, horrible war.

who received from the Governor commits
sion as commissary in the Giddngs regiment
but finding that position otherwise provided
for, threw up his commission, and now den-
tiies himself with the cavalry rcgt. One
advantage in Joining this regt is, as we

entering upon duty and pay. The names
Of Wade AND Hutchins, and their positions

watchfulness aud effort to secure complete
comfort and equipments. The place of rem.

officer is we'll and favOrably known to the
