THE CAMPAIGN INQUIRER.

An important political campaign has opened
Greatinterests are at stake. The country needs to
be aroused, and kept informed concerning the mo-
mentous issues of the day, A few men who love
rotton and broken down party organization bet
ter than they love great and free country are
using unscrupulous efforts in this County to mis-
lead the People, They refuse to publish anything
in their organ that gives favorable account of the
progress of the arms of our country, in the sup
preston of an unholy rebellion They character
ze the official statements of victories and success
TO our arms promulgated by the Secretary Of War,
in their organ, as Sensation dispatches, manu-
featured for the purpose of misleading the people.
When good news favorable to the union cause, is
received from official sources the reader of then
organ are eautionednot to obelieYe it. They eagerly
seize upon and constantly give circulation to false
and groundless rumors, fabricated for the purpose
of iniuring the cause of the Union The most In
significant advantages gained by traitors over om
friends, battling for our common country, is made
a subject of exultation and rejoicing These
heathenish and imbruted traitors, their hands red
with the blood of dear kin slain in battle, are go
rifed as heroes and martyrs. The acts of govern
ment using its utmost energies te preserve the lft
of great nation, are constantly stignatized in ap
probrious and hbelous terms Our purest mer
are DETAINED and held up to public odium, with
shamelessness and indecency too gross to be re
peated. Nothing is left undone TO keep the peo
pie in ignorance of the condition of the country.
There is but one way to eounteract these falst
impressions and meet the virulent fabrication
spread over the country. Circulate true informa
ton. The best method of spreading the truth il
regard to public affairs in this County, is through
the BEDFORD INQUIRER. BY no other methoC
can much be accomplished The most import
ant and timely political matter viii always be fount
in the columns ofthe INQUIRER The devices ant
tricks of the enemy viii be exposed Full informa
ton on all subjects calculated to inform and en-
tighten the public mind will be given. 1t shoulc
be placed in the hands of every mani the County
who can be reached ABRAHAM LINCOLN an,
ANDREW JOHNSON viii receive a firm support, ant
every honorable effort made to secure their cleo
ton. VIII not every friend of the cause exer
himself to disseminate the truth and advance th
cause oflberty and justice?

and Rout OF the RebeIs--The Capture OF Staun-
srArsrOs, sHEsAsDoAn vALLEy, !

STANTON SHESASDoAH VALLEY,
Monday, June 6, 1864. !
Our movements here have in every way been an
entire success. We have thoroughly whipped and
driven back the enemy, who is rapidly retreating
ward Blue Ridge.
In our movements so far We have captured one bat
terry Of six pieces, beside other cannon of heavy cal
ibre Over million dollars worth Of stores fell into
our hands.
The amount of railroad property which we have
destroyed and captured is large. We have taken a
large number Of prisoners. Some Of them are mere
boys, and one or two saw were so young that they
could barely musket
Considering the extensive character of our comb-
nations and the important results we have attained
our loss is not large in either killed or wounded
Crooks column and Averill's command met with
decided success.
In one action which we had the enemy attempted
a trick BY trying to flank our left. In the end we
tricked him, turned his left and thereby brought
! about his defeat handsomely.
Thoburns brigade of infantry suffered the heavi-
est IN killed and wounded
Two special messengers, previously sent to the rear
with dispatches, were captured by Gilmores and
some Of Mosebys men, who not only took their des-
patches from them, but held them as prisoners
One OF the messengers was negro-a bright boy in
everything but color.
Our forces are in hot pursuit of the enemy.
Stahls Division Of cavalry, and Sullivans Division
Eof infantry were hoty engaged.
The brigades commanded by Colonel McReynolds,
oil the lst New 1ork Cayalry, and Colonel Wynkoop,
of the 20th Pennsylvania, did their work.
The enemy retrest is a complete stampede-a rout
On taking Staunton we found that every man and
boy had been called out for its defence.
Staunton is well fortified but if the enemy had on.
y remained hold the place to the last extremity,
we would have captured the whole Rebel command
We got in just such positions secure that char
! aeter of result. At one time our column was in a
great measure in the rear ofJones and Imboden and
the main Rebel position.
The principal fight took place on the line of the
North river and Middle river
II is very difficult getting dispatches to tho rear, as
we are now one hundred and seventeen miles in
the enemy's country, or from Martinfburg and the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the nearest
accessible point of communication, and the road is
lined all tho way with guerilas of every stripe from
the wild highwaymsn to the regular life taker and

How the President Heard of HI. nomination

Dispatches we're sent TO the President by differ
ent persons announcing his re nominations but he
was absent from his official room in the White
House at the time, and did not see them Some
two hours afterward, ignorant of his own nemina-
ton, he called at the War Office, and accidentally
saw despatch there announcing the nomination
of Mr.. JOHNSON for Vice President
The President expressed his surprise at the GU
rious action Of the Convention, as it seemed to
him, and thought it had got the cart before the
horse He was asked by an operator if he had
not seen dispatch announcing his own re-nomir
nation for the Presidency. On his replying that
he had not, he was informed that such despatch
had not been sent him. He then explained that
probably his absence from his official room in the
Executive Mansion was the reason of his not hav-
ing seen it. Upon returning to the Executive
Mansion the President found the dispatches re-
ferred to, announcing his re nomination al half

The Ten Forty Loan,

It's not anticipated that the steady progress Of the
tshforty or popular loan will be disturbed to any
great extent by the proposals of the Secretary of the
Treasury TO receive bids for Blk per cent bonds OF
1881. A large portion of the seventy-fve millions
advertised for will no doubt be taken on foreign ac-
count, at premium ofabout eight per cent in cur
rency, which is the Preseat market value ofthat des
crption of existing bonds after the half years inter
est which IS due July lst, is subtracted The ten
forty bonds considered nearly valuable at par
rs the six per cents. at the premium which they
command, the only advantage which the latter have
over the ormerbeng that they have seventeen yeaas

Them at the expiration Of that time, which ii proba-
bly, will not be prepared to do as the iyetwenty six
