FiNea Y conscientious Mem.

Mr.. Ksipe, X Fayette, has introduced abill
in the Legislature, providing for the payment Of
money l$So0) by, those. who conscientiously
scruple tobear arms. SM
We understand that in some counties the peo-
pie contemplate petitioning the Legislature to
allowsthe money accruing froin'thi source. to
go into the county treasures, arguing that it
shonld not 60 to the General Government, be-
cause the State furnished her quota of men to
the Government, nor into the State treasury,
because this county (for. instance) has furnish
ed its full quota Of men to the State, and there
fore it is not proper that the State should have
our men from the county and our money too.
The fund would pay the bounty to volunteers,
besides leaving a large relief fund The idea
will no doubt at once be taken hold of through
out the ate.--Gettys5my Compiler. ,,r.RY ..f

Mr. MEYERS: '''' Ht q"
Although have never before written a.
nything for publication, l venture to address
you these few lines in the hope that you will
give them place in your valuable paper. ho
The change here in public sentiment since the
issuing of the emancipation proclamation. is
truly astounding. The people cannot see how
a war for the liberation of the negroes is to re.
store the Union or do any good to the country.
They haye discovered that the Administration
has defrauded the people by raising armies to
fight for the Union and theh compelling them to
fight for the negroes '2.' '.1 ~ 81.
The health of this community is not very
good at present. Typhoid fever is raging here
and seems to be of very fatal character We
have but little local news. Our country as
you know, is rather secluded, and we rarely
have any stirring intelligence from the outside
world. The Bedford Inquireris is about the only
curiosity that comes here. see that by re-
cent communication in that yeracious sheet,
some of the sswooly -heads" fear that you, Mr..
Editor, may be the choice Of the people for our
next representative in tho Legislature. That
correspondent says: "Mr. Meyers never dream
ed Of anything Of the kind and l am to say
for that gentleman that he can serve the Con.
federacy to a much greater extent by securing
a nomination to the Legislature of Pennsylva
MIA, which he now proposes doing" Now, my

In our paper Of to-day. J. X. Bowles, Ex-
Commissioner Of the Draft and Federal Tax

. among which was that of our friend, the Rev.

,Ts perintendent of Common choolscould not we'll,

bad also thought that gentleman elected to
n. that office BY Democratic School Directors, up
on the assurance that he was Democrat, would
