MEETING AT BRIDGEVILLE.
The Home ofGOv. CannOm responds
to the Call of Freedom
The Voice of the Government Must and
Shall be 0beyed


Bridgerile November 9th, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR,
On Saturday last a large and enthusi-
astic meeting, of the friends Of the Union was
held at Bridgeyille j. Moore, ESQ.,, of George
town, with few happy remarks, introduced
the first speaker, the Buckeye Blacksmith,
from Pennsylvania, who in brief speech
plainly set forth the issues of the day, and
pointed out the duty of all patriotic citizens
to stand by the "0ld Flag" Lieut.. L. G..
Reeves Of Philadelphia, was then introduced
to the audience and proceeded in a very elo-
.quent manner to show the opinions held by
our patriotic sires, upon the question Of
.slavery=-the noble Washington, the pure and
,high-minded Jefferson, the eloquent Clay, had
all condemned the system in the strongest
language. He said he preferred to follow the
teachings of the patriot fathers, than TO be
beguiled into iniquity, by following the lead
of the neio and patent Democracy He was
attentiveIy listened to and frequently applaud
ed. during the delivery Of his speech. Hon.
N. B. Smithers next addressed the meeting.
He proceeded in a graphic and forcible man
ner to describe his own position-and said
he was Internationally loyal to the Coy
eminent. He was for the Union-frst, last
and all the time. He was opposed to every
thing that was opposed to the Government
He would vote for the last man and the last
dollar to subdue and crush the rebellion. A
beautiful bouquet was presented him by the
ladies-for which honor he paid a most glori-
GUS and eloquent tribute to 1oomGn, saying
" that the cause which she espoused was
generally right" and from their sympathy,
he expected success. Chas. w. Jay, ESQ.,,
an old line Democrat of Trenton, N. j., de-
livered a most telling speech--abounding in
argument, and replete with humor. The
meeting then adjourned with cheers for the
Union." The Brass Band of Laurel were pre-
sent, and discoursed sweet music on the oc-
casion. A UNION VOTER.

Melancholy Afar.-Mr. Daniel Deputy
Of Hundred, committed suicide on the
evening of Tuesday last, by drowning him
self in Cedar Greek near the Brick Granary.
He had expressed determination to do so in
the early part of the evening, but was per-
suaded by his friends to retire to his room
He told his mother, who is a very aged wo-
man, not to cry for him as he intended to
drown himself. On calling him in the morn
ing no response was heard when his friends
went into his room but found it empty
There was a carving knife in his bed which
it is supposed he intended to commit the fatal
deed with, but he must have concluded that
drowning would be the easier death. On
searching for him his body was found in the
creek. He was man of advanced age
The cause for the act is supposed to be none
tary difficulties, -Advertizer t5s

ARemnrLnhle 2. s,nt,menl.

Mr.. Beeeher, in one Of his recent SER
mons, made the following statements =
what do think Of such case as this In
one Of the Assay Offices under the Govern
ment, one-fortieth Of one per cent, think,
Is allowed for waste on all tie gold that
passes through; but, last year, the amount
which remained in the hands Of
the director Of that Office was about
eighty thousand dollars, which, accord
ing 10 the letter Of the law belonged to him.
BE, however, went back to the spirit Of
the law, and though the law allowed him
TO pocket the eighty thousand dollars, he
returned it to the Government. And this
Is Eot all. do not know that the Govern
ment knew it. know it only by having
been told it by an assistant Of bis.
The author of this statement pertinently
added: Now how many are there Of you
who will vote that this man shall 20 to the
Iunatic asylum3 And how many are
there Of you that, looking upon him, feel
rising up within you, unforced and uncon-
scious, a wish to worship him ? This is
8 case Of the love Of right for rights sake.
Here is q man that stood in an ungodly
city, where everybody is scrambling for
money, and where money is the ideal i'm
age Of happiness, and there were eighty
thousand dollars which, accoeding to the
law, he could have put in his pocket, and
in two years he could have retired a rich
man; and yet he said The spirit of the
Law requires that that should be given
back to the Government" and gave it back,
not for The sake of performing a remarks-
bic deed, but because he thought the thing
was right in and Of itself And I would
rather have thatmaR's poverty and nora
integrity than twice four times the eighty
thousand dollars.

. AssAULT.-Last evening about half past
O'Clock two cOlOred men, named Charles
Aston and VIM. Waller, entered George Nc
MilIan's confectionery store on the Square,
in state Of intOxicstiOn, and said they
wanted some drinks. MCMILLAN told them
he had nothing to give them, and ordered
them TO leave the store. They refused, very
insolently, Aston telling Mr.. Mcmillan that
he could whip him. ThereupOn the latter
took hold of Aston aud showed him to the
door to put him out. While doing it, Waller
struck Mcmillan in the face with the handle
of a whip be had il his hand. Sheriff Lewis
and Deputy Whitney appeared very oPpor-
timely at this moment, and taking AlstOn
and Waller into custody, lodged them in
Jail. This morning they were brought ont
before Justice Tibbitts, and pleading not
guilty to e charge Of assault and battery,
were admitted to bail for an examination on
Saturday next.

Captain Schultz, formerly residing near
Aldie, recently headed a party of Union
cavalry in that neighborhood, to surprise
the guerriIlas commanded by the victorious
Captain Mosely, of Whites command. The
rebels were surprised, and some thirty
prisoners taken. The escape of the rest
of the guerrillas was owing to the fact
that Captain Schultz's force was less than
that Of the enemy.
