Mcclellan and Lee.

We have never alluded in these columns to
the report that just after the battle Of Antietam
a clandestne meeting took place between Gen.
Lee and Gen. Mcclellan. A certain Francis
Waldron was the author of the story, which
was SO wholly incredible that we declined to
give currency to it. A letter from Washington
to the New York Commercial disposes of it as
follows:
'rhe charge that Gen. Mcclellan had Sc
cret inter view with Gen. Lee after the battle of
Antietam, has proved to be fiction Of a disor
dered brain. The persons who made the astound-
ing statement is a Mr.. Francis Waldron, a Mary
lander, who is a schoolmastcr by profession, and
who has, in years past, been somewhat addicted
to drink He has been in custody of the Ser
geant-at.Arms since Wednesday afternoon. but
refuses to make under oath the statement which
he has furnished for publication. He has also
other stories Of a marvellous nature, one of
which is that he was for some time employed
night and day by Secretary Chase in aiding in
the preparation Of a new financial scheme,
which has no foundation in fact"
The New York Tribune, which first published
Waldron's story, now announces that Waldron
confesses that he was drunk when he told it,
1t is strange that those who repeated it and
published it did not state at the same time that
it was drunken mans story, and therefore
wholly unworthy Of balief.--Phila. Rsllsfis.

Our friend, William Hartley, within the last
few years has effected wonderful change in
the farming operation of Bedford county. On
nearly every farm may be seen some machine

of all is, that in this cage of Humbugs" we
never hear complaints about his machines. But
the remark is common among farmers, "lf you

farmers hundreds Of dollars this winter His

Another Attempt to Mob 8 Democratic
Newspaper Office.

On Monday, the I4th, another atsampl was
madeby some rowdy soldiers Of the 46th Penn
sylvania volunteers, (the Shamokin company }
to mob the Office of the Northumberland County
Democrat. A squad Of them broke open the
lower door and attempted to rush up stairs, but
being met by a stern command to halt, they hes
itated. While in this position their commander,
Captain Caldwell, made his appearance, denoun-
ced the contemplated outrage, and ordered them
to leave, which they did. The office WAS gar
risoned by several citizens who had volunteered
their services, and il tile soldiers had persisted,
some of them would have been killed. We ad-
wise tho proprietors of Democratic newspaper
establishments to keep arms on hand, and shoot
down any lawless persons, soldiers or civilians,
who assault their persons or attempt the desiruc-
ton of their property. If the law will not pro-
tect them, they must protect themselves PIT.

Speech of. Hon. B. r. Meyers,

We publish the speech Of Il. F. Meyers, on
our first page this week. To show how it is
estimated away from home, we append the fo!-
lowing from the Carlisle Tol,mtesr.
AN ABIE SpEEoH. The speech delivered in
the House of Representatives, at Harrisburgh,
on the 81 inst. by Hon. B. +. Meyers, of Bed
ford, we have read with infinite pleasure. 1t
was OH the bill to provide compensation for loss
es sustained from rebel raids, &c. The Aboli-
tion majority had attempted to attach an amend
ment to the bill which in effect excluded Dem
ocrats from its benefits. The amendment pro-
vided that ''disloyal' persons should receive nc
compensation for losses, and an Abolition coT
mission was to decide what constituted s.loyaN
ty.' Of course no man was to be considere'N
'loyaP who refused to swear allegiance to A
braham l. and his reasonable Amnesty Proc
lamation, and approve Of the doings OF the trait
ors and thieves who now WELD power Ill our
State and nation. This was to be the test, and
it was in opposition to this impudent and infa-
nous proposition that Mr.. Meyers spoke
And most effectually did he answer the Aboli-
ton conspirators, and expose their sinister and
contemplate designs. Indeed, notwiIhstand-
ing his speech was characterized by lofty patrl-
otism and gentlemanly language, he literally
skinned the supporters of the amendment alive,
and proved, by incontrovertible facts, that the
only ''dsloyal' men known in this State were
the adherents of the administration. No WON
der the Jacobin majority squirmed and wiggle'
ell under his scathing denunciations. They
felt their guilt and cowed like spaniels when the
mirror rejecting their treason and their villain
les was held up to their view.
Bedford county may we'll be proud of her able,
honest and incorruptible representative. Would
to G cd we had more men like him-men ofnervc
and a5ility--in public positions, so that the
interests Of the people might be protected and
the schemes of political gamblers exposed.
This is Mr.. Meyers first session, but he has
already established his character as deep think
er aud able speaker. He is the editor of that
sterling Democratic paper, the Bedford Gazette,
and when he reurns homeshe will resume thst
editorial chair and comb the wool Of the woody
heads

n. The following conversation occurred at the
''Bedford Hotel" a short time since:
| Willie-Good morning, Joshua-ready for
the draft?
Joshua.-Ready if my distracted country
needs me-if she requires the sacrifice of my
life-if the tottering edif,e of our glorious
Union needs to be cemented by my hearts blood
If it is necessary for her preservation to stride
onward to victory over my dead body, then, SIR
! the victim is ready! with heart ready for any
fate, and with firm trust in Divine Providence,
I shall, with lively feeling of doing my duty
and nothing but my duty, march boldly onto
! the collectors office and pay my three hundred
| dollars.
This will be the answer Of thousands, rather
than enslave themselves to the 'stt,ags" who con-
troll affairs at the Capitol. Iwould like to know
whether this interf renee, vigilance and coercion
will feed those who are hungry, give work to
those who WANT work, and no man to hire: Hon
est people should scout at the idea of inevitable
evils. The public patience is like camel, on
, whose back the last atom that can be borne has
already been laid, resistance is now our duty !;
the widespread spirit of disaffection against
constituted authority is regarded as the most
promising sign Of the times; the people are tru-
ly aggrieved, but the main grievances have been
heaped on them by a corrupt, base and bloody
administration. Madmen like Chase, demons
like Butler, mischievous demagogues ike Sew
ard, are the tyrants, the curses Of the country,
the destroyers of her trade. 1t is their infatu-
ated perseverance in an unjustfable, hopeless,
a ruinous war, which has brought the nation to
! its present pass. It's their monsrously oppres-
sive taxation, it is the infamous "lroclama-
! tions' originators of which deserve inn
parchment and the scaffod if ever public men
did-that have hung the milestone about the
neck of our once glorious America.
But what is the use of talking7 What chance
is there Of reason being heard in land which
has lunatic for its nominal monarch, and an
| unprincipled debauchse the real ruler.
! We believe fully that there is n judgment to
come. If it were otherwise, it would he diff
cult to imagine how all the scoundres, who
seem triumphant in this world, who break i'm
nocent hearts with impunity, abuse unmerited
privileges, scandal to honorable calings, who
take the bread out Of the mouths of the poor.
browbeat the humble, and truckle meanly to
the rich and proud--are to be properly paid off
in such coin as they have earned.
The ''Good Book" tells us there is place
set apart for evil doers, and We hope the time
is not far distant when they can enjoy the home
| promised them.

GENERAL ORDER NO. 100

GENERAL ORDER NO. 100.
The following special order has just been is
sued by the President:
UNITED STATES EXECUTIVE MANSION, r.
WASHINGTON, MARCH "a, 1864,
Grades to supply the force required to be draft
cd for the navy, and to provide an adequate re-
serve force, all contingencies in addition to th-
five hundred thousand, men called for on Feb
ruary lst 1854, the call is hereby made and a
draft ordered for 100000 men for the military
service Of the army, navy and marine corpsaot
the United States. The proportional quotas for
the different wards, towns, townships, precincts,
election districts and counties will be made
known through the Provost Marshal Generals
Bureau, and account will be taken Of the cred
its and deficiencies on former quotas. The 18th
day of April, 1864, is designated as the time up
to which the numbers required in each ward Of
city, town, &C., may be raised. VOLUNTARY y
enlistments and drafts will be made in each ward
of the city, town, ETC., which shall not have fill
ed the quota assigned to i; within the time des-
ignated for the number required to fill said quota.
The draft will be commenced as soou after the
5th of April as practicable. The Government
bounties, as now paid, will be continued until
April Is, 1864, at which time the additional
bounties cease. On and after that date one
hundred dollars bounty only will be paid as pro-
vided by the act approved July p, 1861.

Salary s.:y Of the Co. Superintendent.


1t will be seen by an advertisement publish
ed in our paper, that the Acting State Superin.
tendent of Common Schools, has called a con-
vention of the School Directors of the county,
to meet in this place, on Saturday, April 3D.
for the purpose of taking into consideration the
proprety of increasing the salary of the Coun-
ty Superintendent. This convention has been
called at the suggestion of majority of the
schoo-boards of the county. We have no
donbt that the convention will vote in favor of
an increased salary This would only be iust
inasmuch as other counties are paying much
higher salaries than ours, and the salaries being
paid oct of the general school fund of the State,
1t is evident that we have thus far only been
stinting ourselves, in order to contribute to the
pay of the Superintendents Of other counties.
Besides the present high prices of every thing
necessary to the support of life, render it just
as impossible for County Superintendent to
live upon the old salary, as for an editor to pub
lish his paper at his former terms, or hotel
keeper to board and lodge his guests at the rates
of three years ago. We hope, therefore, that
the salary will be increased

evColerain and Snake Spring covered thsm

eTColerain and Snake Spring covered them
selves with glory, on Friday last. The former
gave some 60 majority. Our old friend, Squire
Gump, had close race; but the "Miscegena.
tionsts" couldn't quite come it. In the latter
township, the Democratic ticket was successful
by majority of two to one. The ball is roll
ing. Keep it moving. Since writing the above
we learn that there were onlyl6 opposition
votes polled in Londonderry--the Democrats
eleciing their whole ticket including both in
spectors, by 62 majority. The Abolitionists
have the ague in that quarter. Gov. Curtin's
promises are about "played out"
