OFF TO THE WAR,

Capt. Filler's company, composed of as fine look
ing and reliable as our County can produce,
sta rted for the seat of war on Monday morning last
As they were drawn into line for marching, they
were addressed by Gen. Bowman, in speech which
we wish every man, and child in Bedford
County could have heard. The General is exceeding
y happy and successful in his efforts in behalf of our
Country. While his remarks were IN a spirit OF
gentlemanly Kindness ard like his address of court
week, were entirely free from epithet or abuse they
had the severity of truth plainly spoken, and were
withering to those who fear or refuse to support
our government from any cause, whether from en-
nifty, avowed or concealed, or from the mistaken
notien that to aid the government they thereby
endorse the peculiar political views of the incum-
bents Of any branch of that government.
Many tear rolled over the cheeks of the honest
soldiers as the speaker alluded to their loved
country and its perils-to the families they were
leaving behind them, and as he commended them
and theirs to the tender care of the God of our
country.
After three cheers for the speaker, and three
more for their native country the company attended
by crowd of citizens marched to the east end Of
town were carriages were waiting to convey them
to HopeweI
They we're received all along the route with en-
thusiasm. Excellent dinners were provided for
them in Hopewell, by Capt. Jas S. Beckwith and
j. B. Castner, Esq. At about O'Clock, they left
Hopeweh in a special train, for Harrisburg On
entering the cars the crowd there assembled, gave
our gallant boys three hearty cheers
Capt. Filler deserves great credit for the man
ner in which he has gotten up two companies for
this wal-the first for three months-and the last
for three years or during the war. The good
wishes, and hearty prayers of all our loyal citizens
go with them. If perchance, they fall in the
service Of their country-all win exclAim-
elbow sleep the brave who sink to rest,
With all their country'S wishes blest."
But We do not wish to indulge in thoughts 80
saddening. May they all return again to their
homes and families, blest with health, and their
brows encircled with never fading laurels. Fare
well

KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE,
MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR MAGOF
FEN

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 5.-The State Sen,
ate organized to>day. Governor Magofiu' s
message was read. He says Kentucky has a
right to assume neutral position in the pres
ent war; that she had no agency in fostering
a sectional party in the Free States, and did
not approve Of seperate action and the secess.
ion OF tbe Southern States. Lawless raids have
been suffered on both sides, private property
seized, commerce interrupted, and trade des-
troyed. These wrongs have been borne with
patience; but military Federal force has been
organized, equipped and encamped in CEN
tral portion of Kentucky, without consultation
with the State authorities. If the people of
Kentucky desire more troops, let them be OBJ
tained under the Constitution of Kentaoky.-
He recommends the passage of laws to enable
The Military Board to borrow sufficient sum
to purchase arms aud munitions for the defence
of the State. He also recommends the pas
sage of resolutions requesting the disbanding
or removal of oil military bodies not under
State authority from the State.

IMPORTANT FROM NORTH CARROLL
MA

WAsHNGToH, September 5-RespectabIe
gentlemen who have arrived here from North
Carolina BY circuitous route say that the
Union prospects 10 that State are of the most
encouraging character. The acting Governor
is reliable Union man. Secret leagues ,of
loyal citizens exist in every county, which are
rapidly increasing in strength, and already
number ooe-talf of the voting population Of
the State. A provisional State Government
will be put 10 operation in few months Two
full brigades of loyal men have been enrolled
for the Union cause.
The Leagues made extended arrangements
for electing member of Congress from every
District aud four were known TO have been
elected On the 2lst of August The latest
news is that the entire eight are elected, each
having received large vote. They are among
the best men in the State, and will insist upon
vigorous prosecution Of the war. Their GER
tifcates of election will bear the signature of
the Governor and the broad seal of the State.
Since the engagement at Aatteras Inlet and
the capture of the Forts there, the North
Carolina troops have been withdrawn from Yir>
ginia. Many Of the troops are dissatisfied
with the war, and thosa who entered the SER
vice for short time refuse to continue in the
Confederate employment.

hung upon his words and the hearty cheers
with which at other times they greeted him.
The General took the high ground of the ho-
illness of the cause of our government against
the unholy and unjusti6able rebellion waged
against it, and most eloqueutly and effec lively
did he maintain bis position, with an earnest
ness that carried conviction Of the deep slncer-
ily of the speaker to the heart Of every hearer.
There was no bitter invective, no harsh ep-
tibet, but there was vivid depicting of tire
position of those who either BY actual rebellion
in the ravolted states, or who residing in a 10y
al state are by sympathy with rebellion, or by
apathy in our common cause doing any thing
TO retard the government in its efforts to res
tore peace and the supremacy Of law, that
waa annihilatiug 10 its effect. He, as well as
the other speakers, placed all men in this cri-
sis in their true position either for or against
ouI country.
The scathng remarks of Hon. Isaac Hugus
made fearful havoc in theranks CT the opposition,
which was followed up by effective speeches
from Mr.. Rush of Missouri, Hon. Francis Jor-
dan, Capt. Filler and DR.. McGrr and by the
close OF the meeting every gun of opposition
was spiked, and then, as often during the pro-
gress of the meeting, the spontaneous respon-
ses Of loyal hearts, rent the air in shouts that
could not be restrained, and proclaimed the
cause Of our country in the hearts of the peo
pie Of Bedford County triumphant.

BEDFORD INQUIRER.
WM. P. soHELL, ESQ.

We frequently bear the question asked.
"Where is Wm. p Schell in this great con-
test!" We are sorry to be compelled to an
swer that we do not know. He refused to
sign the call for Union meeting to be held
ia the Court House on Tuesday night of Court
Week--neither did he sign either of the calls
in opposition to it. There can be no neutralir
ty in this contest. 10 the Language of the la~
mented Douglas, in his last speech before his
death, ''There can be but two sides to the
controversy. Every man must be on the side
of the United States OF against it. There can
be none but patriots and traitors"
Mr.. Schell attended the Democratic meeting,
Monday night of last week, and when DR.. f..
G. Reamer, Schell's brother-inalaw, objected to
the phraseology of the Crittenden Resolution,
which passed Congress democrats and Re-
publicans voting for III almost unanimously,
and which it was proposed to adopt by that
meeting-which says "That the present civil
war has been forced upon us by the Disunion
lists of the Southern States,' Dir. Sehcll
moved that the words "and the, abolitionists
of tue Northern States be added to it. The
resolution as amended was adopted.
Mr.. Sehell also made speech in that meets
| ing-about as milk and water as his course
has been throughout this great crisis, when eve
ry man should use his bOst exertions in be-
half of bis afflicted country. In that speech
he said, "He was for a vigorous prosecution
of the war. II the war lasted one year be
believed II would result in the aboishment of
slavery, and sooner than that should occur, be
would not say but that it would be better that
our army should be defeated" Ia other words,
sooner than slavery should be abolished, be
would see the gallant men who have gone
forth TO fight the battles of their country
against traitors, mown down, and the Uuion
destroyed! We deprecate the abolishmeut of
slavery. but sooner than see the Union des-
troyed we would let slavery and every other
institution or law 90 down. This is the feels
ing of every patriot But Mr.. Schell stated
that che always was an admrer of Southern
iDstitutions-that be loved the South more
than he did the North" This may in some
manner account for his assertion iu regard
to slavery.
What some of the Border State Unionists
think of Slavery is pretty clearly stated 10 a
speech which the Rev. w. b. Carter of Fast
Tennessee delivered 10 Cincinnati, Monday
night % inst. 81 am slaveholder," sald
Mr.. Carter. Ny ncestors, for three genera
ations, have been shareholders; therefore, /
can not be charged with any prejudice against
Slavery. But / tell you before, that regard
the union of the States as of infinitely more
value than all the negroes in America, and
Africa too. Nay, l 60 further, and say that,
if the prosecution of this war and the perpet-
uayion of the Union require that African
Slavery shall die, then ! say let it perish.
We are sorry Mr.. SohelI does not view this
matter in the same light. If his influence
was on the side of his counsr now, be might
do great good in Bedford County.

SYMPATHY WITH REBELLION.

The Bedford Gazette, for several months,
at times, has promised to change Its course.
nnd throw no further 6re-braLds into the efforts
of the administration in putting down the pres,
ent unhoiy rebellion. Week before last it made
the same promise, but last weeks number is
again filed with artie les copied from other pa
pers calculated to injure the cause Of the Union.
In the editorial columns is an article headed
"Abolition," 10 which it attempts TO iniure
the cause Of the Republic, by trying to make
it appear that Gen. FremoDt's proclamation is
for the purpose of setting the slaves free, aud
that this Is the only object of the government.
We are sorry to state our belief, but that pa
per's course warrants Us 10 the statement, that
the editor oe that paper is so bound up in his
associations and sentiments, that so long as be
controls a journal in our midst, he will do ev-
erything he can to injure those who are fight,
ing to put down the most infamous and cause
less rebellion in the history of the world,
against the best Government ever devised BY
man. 1t is only designed by the Government
and Gen. Fremont, IN eonfscatiue slave prop
erty, to weaken the rebels in their most tender
parts. All nations con6scate property IN the
hands cf rebels-sla have been declared
property-therefore the Government has the
right to do with them as she pleases Slaves
of all loyal persons ara not 10 be, and will not
be, ibterfered with or made free The ener-
getic measures of Gen. Fremont will be of
immense benefit to the cause of our country.-
To show what the people of Missouri think Of
this matter, those who are principally concern
ed in the Proclamation, we publish the follow
ing extract from the st. Louis Republican, the
Democratic organ in that city, and always
strong pro-savety paper. Hear IL:
''1'he proclamation of Major. Gen. Fremont,
which appears in another column, is the most
important document which has yet appeared
10 the progress of the war. let it be read
with careful consideration by every citizen
The prompt visiting Of the EXTREMIST penalties
of martial law upon all Rebels within the es.
tablished military lines; the con6scation of the
property of persons who shall taks up arms
against the Government, and the declaration
of absolute freedom 20 the slaves of all such
persons; the extreme penalties to be visited
upon bridge burners, railroad and telegraph
destroyers, reasonable correspondence and
libels, aud peace destroyers Of all kinds, are
measures Of themost extraordinary stringency
but the wisdom Of their promulgation By
the supreme officer in the army of the West,
we are confident will be conceded by every
just and loyal citizen.
"There is no logger any middle ground OF
room for traitors where the lawful Government
has sway. General Fremont strikes boldly
and fearlessly. The consolidated patriotism
and The boundess resources of the great
Northwest are at his back. Let everv faith~
fnl map, by word and deed, give aid aud en-
couragement TO this grand movement for the
establishment of the whole people,"
