Minnesota Regiments Leaving the
State.


We learn that the Seventh Regiment,
Col. MILLER; the Ninth Regiment, Col.
WILKIN; and the Tenth Regiment, Col.
BAKER, will be sent South about the first
OF October. 1t was the original intention
OF the War Department, as we are in
formed, to send what troops could be
spared from this State, to the Army of the
Potomac; but it is now understood that
they will be sent to Gen. RosEcRANs. which
will doubtless be more satisfactory to the
men than any other field of service. Gen.
HALLEoK requested that they be sent as
soon as possible, but as large number of
the men have been furloughed, it is not
likely that they will be in readiness to start
before the first of next month.

Whatever may be thought of the con-

The power to suspend the privilege of
habeas corpus is given by the constitution
to the Congress-or, rather, is recognized
as existing in the Congress, which body is
thus restricted in its exercise:

Nc.y Line Of Supplies to ROsecra D>.
"A letter from Stevenson, Alabama, says
that arrangements have been made to COM
plete. the Northwest Railroad, leading in a
southwest direction from Nashville to the
Tennessee River. This road was projected
before the war, and all the grading had
been done, except distance OF four miles,
at the time of its abandonment. The en-
tire length of the road is seventy-tive miles.
The iron is ready for it, and a large force
has been placed at work to complete it.
Within the next two months it will be fin
ished, and RosECEANs' army need no longer
rely on the crowded Louisville and Nash
vile road for its necessities. Boats can
ascend the Tennessee River at all seasons
to the point where the road terminates. and
supplies can be run into Nashville at a
much more expeditions rate than through
the Old channels The Memphis and
Charleston road could be restored without
serious labor. The only important bridge
missing is that at Decatur, over the Ten
nessee. 1t will be seen, therefore, that the
advance of this army will not depend upon
the slender iron parallel, when these I'M
provements are completed, as was the case
last year

Little Berks."

The Abolition wire-pullers of Bedford Dor.
ough, have made a desperate onset upon that
impregnable citadel of Democracy, Cumberland
Valley, known so honorably over the whole
State, as "Little Berks." BY long-winded, ga
seous letters in the Abolition Inquirer, some ol
which are nearly wholly manufactured by the
temporary editor Of that paper, by flooding the
township with the Philadelphia Bulletin, "a pa
per whose proprietors were deeply interested in
the shoddy and straw hat and linen pantaloon
frauds, and which declared, last fall, that the
Union is ''rotten old hulk, y and the Balti-
more American, which urged the Baltimore
"roughs" to attack the Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania troops when on their way to defend the
capital, but which has since been subsidized to
all the foul purposes Of Aboltionism and by
promising men this, that and the other in the
way of office or emolument, they have hoped to
break in upon this old Democratic stronghold.
They boast that they have succeeded in winning
over to their views one or two who formerly
pretended to be leaders of the Cumberland Val
ley Democracy-one Of them man whom the
Democracy of Bedford county took up in their
arms and nursed into political life Having
made this conquest, they expect the influence
of their new convert to revolutionize the whole
township. They blow and brag as though no.
body else had any thing to say to political mat
ters in Cumberland Valley, except this callow
proselyte Their last glorifcation over their ac-
QUESTION, is, that when asked by them to run
on their ticket, he declined, for the reason that
he thought he could do them more good by still
pretending to be a Democrat and at The same time
doing quietly all he can for Ms Abolition tchet.-
Now, we know nothing about this matter, ex-
cept what we have heard from the Abolitionsts;
but if their boasts be we'll founded, the question
arises whether the people of Cumberland VAL
ley will submit to the leadership of any man
whom their old political enemies expect to do
their dirty work for them-a man who, we can
prove. has declared that he is willing that the
President shall have million of money and
hundred thousand more men to free the negroes
not to restore the Union, mark you-but to
abolish negro slavery. Such man can have
nothing to do with Democrats, for he has placed
himself alongside of Wendell Phillips and Hor-
ace Greely, and with them, in Gods name, let
him STAY!

Exemptions.

Our friends throughout the county who may
be drafted, should remember that among other
reasons the following are sufficient to exempt
them:
l. Being the only son liable to military duty,
of widow, dependent upon his labor for sup
port.
2. The only son of aged parent or parents,
dependent upon his labor for support.
3. The only brother of children not IL years
old, having neither father nor mother, depend
emf upon his labor for support.
4. The father of motherless children under
IL years of age, dependent upon his labor for
support.
5. Where there are fathers and sons in the
same family, and two of them in the service Of
the United States as non-commissioned officers,
musicians or privates, the remainder of such
family, not exceeding two, shall be exempt.
6. Where there are two or more sons of aged
or infrm parents, subject to the draft, the faith.
er, or if he be dead .he mother may select which
son shall be EXEMPT.
We would adeise every drafted man who may
and desires to be exempted, at once to repair tc
lawyer or some other person competent to draw
up the required papers In order to be exempt
ed for the above reasons, the affidavit of thC
drafted person, and that of two other respecta
BILE men, heads of families, is necessary.

HON. GEORGE W, BIDDIE,
Down with the Abolitionists +!

t Whilst the army is putting down Secession in
the South, it is our duty to put down Abolition
at the North. 1t is universally conceded that
these two are the twin causes of all our troiA-
bles as a nation. Abolition agitation first d
larmed the people of thu. South, and induced
them to listen to the arguments of the few orig
inal advocates of Secession. And to-day Abo-
lition radcalsm furnishes the fuel with which
the flames of Secession are fed. jeff Davis and
his cabinet appeal to the Southern people to
fight to the death for their independence of a
people who seem determined to wrest from them
their institutions, and their appeals are not in
vain, because the fact that the President and
Congress have become Abolitonized is too ap-
parent to be overlooked. Thus Abolitionism
serves to unite and consolidate the Southern
people in resistance to the Federal armies, and
thus tho fanatic negro worshppers of the North,
, are the main prop of the rebel confederacy.-
Therefore, if we would break down the rebell-
ion and restore the Union, we must crush Abo-
litionism, put down our home radicals. compel
the excision of the unconstitutional features oi
the sweeping Confscation Act force the with.
drawal of the Emancipation Proclamation and
give the erring people of the South the assur
ance that, upon their submission to the Fedora
authority, they shall have all their old right.
and privileges under the Constitution, excepting
only their leaders, who shall be tried and pun
ished according to law. Unless this be done
the capture of every city and fort in the Soutl
will fail to end the war. Unless this course b.
successfully pursued, there can be no peace ex
cept such as is to be purchased at the impossi
bic price of determination. Then, let the bat
tle-cry Of every true Union man, at the coming
election, be, ''Down with the Abolitionistsl" ]"

Hon. GEORGE w. WOODWARD. the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, has been spend
ing the past week or two among his old neigh
bors in this valley. Avoiding all ostentatious
display he has been quietly resting from the
arduous labors of his position in the Supreme
Court, upon the farm of that staunch old Dem.
ocrat, Mr.. William Franck, in Plymouth old
The fact is the more the people see of Judge
Woodward, the more deeply are they Impress
cd with the fact that his nomination is strong
indication of a return of our old, time-honored
party to the purity of its early days. They
feel emphatically, that the party has returned
to its old custom of nominating the best men,
regardless of the aspirations of any body.
Hence the selection of the Judge has been well
coined with an enthusiasm by the patriotic
masses such as has rarely been evinced on a
similar occasion. They see in him the man for
the times, possessing as Mr.. Clymer said in his
speech at the convention, shoulders broad e.
nough, head stout enough, and brain enough
to meet any emergency. With such man as
the successor Of Andy Curtin, our old Com
monwealth will soon again take her stand as
one of the best governed States in the Union

A few Questions for Gov. Curtin.

We are informed that Gov. Curtin is to adj
dress his Abolition friends at the Court House,
on next Tuesday night. The people of Bedford
County will thank His Excellency for plain
and unequiyocal answers to the following ques.
tions:
l. Did you not Gov. Curtin, send to both
Houses of the late Legislature, special mes
sage announcing your determination not to be
q candidate for reelection, on account Of ii
health and for the reason Ito quote yoIr OWL
language that yp' ---''id f;oe a0i., s "a ,n NOR
effect tbeRg fl made the centr fsa an active oIt
cal struggle" and for the additional reason tnat
it had ''pleased the President to tender You ga
high position?"
2. When and by what means was your health
improved so much that you felt able again to be
candidate, and what induced you to change
your notion as to your ability to discharge. with
proper 'efect," your duties, when you are .''the
centre of an active political struggle?"
8. Didn't Lincoln, after all, give you tha
'shigb position" ard if not, why not?
| 4. Do you intend to carry out in good faitl
the provisions of the law of 1889, which pro
hibits the presence of either State or U. State
troops at elections, or do you intend to permi
interference with the freedom of the ballot-box
by the administration of test-oath and the us
of the bayonet, a la Burnside in Kentucky?

LEAvENwoRrH, Aug. 2l.-About 6 O'Clock
last evening the guerilla chief, Quantrell, with
force about eight hundred strong, crossed the
Missouri into Kansas, near the town of Gard
ner, sixty miles below here, and Immediately
started for Lawrence. Arriving before that
town at four o'clock this morning, he posted
a guard around the city, so that the people
could not escape, and with the remainder of his
force commenced pillaging the stores, shooting
citizens and firing houses.
A gentleman who managed to escape, and
secreted himself in cornfeld near the town,
reports that he swan the river at 8 o'clock,
and on reaching the bluff this side had plain
view of the town, which was then sheet of
flames From what he saw he thinks that the
loss would reach two millions, and by this time
much more, as the rebels seemed determined
to destroy everything that would burn. We
cannot learn that any resistance was made, the
citizens being taken completely by surprise, the
first alarm being the cracking of the flames and
the shouts of the rebels.
James II. Lane was in the city, and it is
feared that he has fallen into the hands of the
guerillas, as it was almost impossible to escape
through their lines.
a large number of Union troops have been
sent in pursuit of the rebels, but with what
success we have not yet learned. r tf
Mayor Anthony, of this city, has issued
proclamation, stating that the people of Leaven-

The Draft an Electioneering Scheme.

The Draft an Electioneering Scheme.
There is a false impression prevailing to the
effect that the Administration wants money ra-
ther than men, and that for this reason the $500
exemption clause was inserted in the Conscrip-
tion Law. This impression is false, because the
Administration aa can AND does grind egs a sol
diers, and especially Democratic soldiers, and
for that reason the $500 exemption feature was
put into the Conscription, the Administration
taking it for granted that all the contractors,
banks and moneyed corporations and individu-
ais, being on its side of the house, the Aboli-
tionists would be able to purchase their exemp-
ton, while the Democrats, being the poorer
| from the meshes of the draft. Thus, from the
strong Abolition counties of Lancaster, Alleghe-
nv and Indiana, in which the draft has been
,Iade for month, and which were called upon
for some 5000 men, we are told not more than
500 soldiers have been obtained The remain.
ing 1900 were exempted. Now unless Demo
Gratis assist each other in paying Communication for
their drafted friends, this electioneering scheme
of the Abolitionists will be entirely successful
and not only will Democrats be forced to take
the place of Abolitionists in the army, but the
stay-at-home Abolitionists will laugh in theil
sleeves at the manner in which they will have
cheated the Democrats out of the election
Therefore, let Democrats unite together and as
sist each other in paying the communication fo
every drafted Democrat who cannot Willingly
serve his time, and who is unable himself tt
pay for his exemption. This has been done By
the Abolitionists in other places and they can
complain if we do it here.
