The Result in Bedford County.

We have no words to express our gratifca-
ton at the verdict Of the people of Bedford
county, at the Late election, upon the issues pre-
sented by the Administration at Washington
and its pimps and parasites in the North The
Democratic State Ticket represented, first, the
idea of prosecution of the existing war solely
for the reestablishmento the broken authority of
the Constitution and for the restoration of the
Union as it tcas, in contradistinction from war
for conquest, or subjugatiR or for the the liber-
alton of the negroes; secondly, the sanctity of
the right to the writ Of Ha6eas Corpus in the
States not in rebellion, the freedom of speech
and of the press, denying the doctrine that our
form OF government can rest upon any such
principle as state necessity; thirdly antagonsm
to the conduct of the war by the Administration.
its corruptions, extravaganza, mismanagement
and general imbecility These were the main
issues passed upon at the late election, and the
true Union men of Bedford county, by tho O.
overwhelming majority of CPS, decided that the
Constitution shall be preserved as it is and the
Union restored as it was,-that there shall be
no war for the liberation of negro Slaves nor
for the conquest or suLjugaton of the South,
that there shall be no arbitrary arrests, no
throwinginto prison without trial-that freemen
shall be allowed to speak and print their senti-
ments, without hindrance or molestation, that
the President (much less any of his underlings,
military Or civiD cannot disregard the laws, be-
cause in his Judgment the necessity of the state
may require him to do so,--that the Admins
tration of the Government has been corrupt,
imbecile and hurtful to the best interests of
the nation. These things were produced in in.
dictment against the Abolition representatives of
the Administration, by the Bedford Gazette, from
time to to time, during the past year and for
thus acting as the attorney of the people, we
were denounced as a 'traitor" and a s'seces.
sionist," and were threatened with mob violence,
provost marshals and all the tortures of the
Abolition inquisition. But, the people have de-
cided the case in our favor, it in the
most emphatic manner,--and we can now turn
upon our malignant adversaries and warn them
of the consequences if they do not become bet
ter citizens better natriots and better neighbors
Ah, you sneaking, snivelling, cowardly miscre-
ants, who have maligned and traduced us for
holding the sentiments entertained by large
majority of the people, where are ye now

vengeance Of the people is at hand

Abolition Dailies.

The enemies of the Constitution in the North
could never have mustered a corporals guard
of votes, had not the people been misled by a
mendacious and unscrupulous press. The 7i4-
bane, Times and Post, of New York city, and
the North American, Ne,cs, Bulletin; Press and
Inquirer, Philadelphia, have been most efficient
in the seduction of the public mind from the
path of political virtue. Let conservative men
put their heels upon these detestable spawn
ings of Abolitionism. Most of these dam
gerous sheets have, from time to time, rec
commended the "crushing OUT of Democratic
newspapers by force Of arms. 1t is our turn,
now, to talk of crushing out But we shall
not ask our friends to mob the proprietors of
these pernicious journals, nor to treat them with
any violence whatever We shall only recon-
mend that conservative men withdraw their
support from them and leave them to draw life
and nutriment from their own party, the aboli-
tionists. Especially would we invoke the at
tention of Democrats to the conduct of the
Philadelphia Inquirer. In 1860, when that sheet
emerged from its old fogy chrysalis state and ex-
panded into the sensation butterfly which it now
is, aprofession of neutralityand conservatism
inpolitics on the part of its proprietor, induced
numbers Of Democrats to become its friends and
supporters. In 1861, it supported the Demo-
cratic nominees for municipal offices in Phila-
delphia, for and in consideration of large slice
of the official advertising. In 1862, the Dem
ocratic Sheriff having been ousted from office
by decision of Court, and no more printing
to he obtained from the Democracy, the Mqui-
rer comes oat in the most vehement articles a.
gainst the Democratic ticket and exerts all its
influenced to give success to Aboltionism. Now,
what are Democrats to think of such politi-
cal thimble rigger as this fashy and frothy IN
quirers We say that the time when newspapers
of this stripe could be tolerated has gone by.
The people want straight forward, decided and
firm exponents of principlein their leading news
papers. Down, therefore, with these monsters
Of sensationism Down with your N. Y. Her.
aids and your Philadelphia, Inqm,e,y! Demo-
cratsl Friends of the Constitution! support the
papers that support your doctrines. 1fyou want
an evening daily subscribe for the Philadelphia
Ereniag Journal the N. Y. Express. If you want
a morning daily, take the Philadelphia Constitu-
tional Union, or the Harrisburg Patriot, the
Pittsburg Post, or the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce. All these papers are edited with ability
and they are the organs of that sentiment which
you and we believe must save the country.
Shall this matter be attended to?

OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM GEN. BUELL..
PERRYvIILE, Ky, via BARDsrowN, !
Friday, Oct 10, 1862.
TO .Nqj. Gen. II. W. HaAeck, Gen.-m.C CMef:
have already advised you of the movements
of the army under my command from Louisville
More or less skirmishing has occurred daily with
the enemys cavalry. Since then it was sup
posed the enemy would give battle at Bards-
town. My troops reached that point on the 4th
inst, driving out the enemy's rear-guard of cav
airy and artillery.
The main body retired toward Springfield,
whittier the pursuit was continued The CEN
tire corps, under Gen. Gilbert, moved ON the di-
rect road from Springfield to Perryvile, and ar
rived on the 7th inst. within two miles of the
town, where the enemy was found to be in force
The left column, under Gen McCook, came up
on the Nashville road about 10 o'clock, yester-
day the 9th inst.
1t was ordered into position to attack, and
strong reconnaissance directed.
At o'clock received request from Gen
McCook for re-cnforcements, and learned that
the left had been severely engaged for several
hours and that the right and left of that corps
were being turned and severely pressed Re
endorsements were Immediately sent forward
from the centre.
Orders were also sent to the right column,
under Gen. Crittcnden, which was advancing
by the Lebanon road, to push forward and at
tack the enemy's left, but it was impossible for
it to get in position in time to procure any de-
cislve result.
The action continued until dark. Some figh-
ting also occurred on the centre. The enemy
were everywhere repulsed, but not without some
momentary advantage on the left.
The several corps were put in position during
the night and moved to the attack at SIX O'Clock
this morning Some skirmishing occurred with
the enemy's rear-guard. The main body had
fallen back in the direction of Harrodsburg.

From the Special Army Correspondence Of tile
Ne,r- York Herald.
TERRILES BRIGADE
Our extreme left, was held by Gen. Terrill's
brigade, of Jackson's division. The enemy suc-
ceoded in getting upon his flank, and planted
battery in such position as to pour deadly
entilading fire into our ranks
Gen. Terrill ordered charge to take this
battery, but found it supported by masses of
infantry five times greater than his own. He
then opened his artillery upon it, and after
few rounds succeeded in quieting it.
This was quickly followed by a charge from
the enemy, who rushed up fairly into our lines,
crowding our men back by the impetuosity of
their charge and the weight of their columns.
BRAVERY OF GEN. TERRILI.
Terrilrs brigade was composed mostly of raw
Indiana regiments, who were at first thrown in
to disorder by the desperate charge; but their

bury, HoGpt, Halleek and Meigs The
committee report ithe testimony without
comment. Burnside said when after the
battle OF Antietaui Mcclellan decided 70
cross the Potomac, said 70 him in my
opinion he would never be- able to take the
army on that ronte beyond the Rappahan-
mock unless he sueaeeded IN fighting the
enemy At some place on this side, and that
If he proposed TO go to Richmond by land
he would have TO go TO Fredericksburg, and
in that he partially agreed with me.
On the eth of November, after this con-
Tersation Mcclellan gave an order to Capt.
Drum, Chief of Engineers, to have an the
pontoou bridges 1T Berlin and in that
neighborhood that could be spared, taken
up and sent down to Washington with a
view Of getting them down to this town,
in case he decided to go by way of Fred
ericksburg. -
The letter conveying that order was
written on the 9Th Of November, but as
understand was not received until the 18th
Of November. r n rHy.-. ~
Burnside speaks Of the surprise with
which he received the Presidents order to
take command of the Army Of the Poto-
mac and that hO-hSd expressed the opinion
that he (Burnside) was not competent to
command 80 larg6Au army, and that Nc
Clellsn was the httest person. He then
says HAlleek came to see me on the lIth
of November. On the 9Th made out a
plan of operations Ia accordance with
Halleek's order and sent them to Washing
ton. He gives g detailed account of this
plan and speaks Of the disastrous delay In
receiving the pontoons.
