If there was any one thing which the
Abolition party eXerted itself to accom-
plish, it was to. poison the minds of the sol:
diers against the Democratic party. While
the boys were In the field, they succeeded
remarkably well their design, but itIwas
only by wholesale and reckless lying, and
by cutting off all means by which the SOL
diers could learn the truth. The threat of
what the soldiers would do when they came
back was held in perpetual terroram over
our heads. (" Just wait till the soldiers
come back, and then, and then, and then--.p
Well, we have waited till the soldiers come
back, and waited till the soldiers got their

A Cure for ChoIera.

Mr.. EDITOR: Having discovered, as
think, about fifteen years ago, a new and
certain cure for cholera, and seeing from
the newspapers that this terrible scOurge is
again approaching rapidly to our shores, !
now communicate it TO your wildly circula-
ted paper, in order that by being copied it
may be known ard tried over the whole
earth. The remedy is this On the first ap-
pearance of the cholera, or while the pulse
is perceptible, apply to the stomach the
fresh blood of animals, or fresh meat, such
as the meat OF mutton, beef hogs, yenisOn,
chickens, or other domestic animals or fowls.
The blood to be applied by saturating rags
in 1t and then applying to the stomach. In
applying fresh meet, two pounds or more
should be used. One chicken is sufficient,
not TO stick the body. '''''' ''~ 'D
This remedy is also good for any dysen-
terry or bowel complaint.9 rt l5-.jTrug
shall not enter into any explanation OF
the theory upon which this remedy depends
(though have oneJ, but submit thecnre to
the investigation of mankind, eitherin cor
nection with other remedies or alone. /
haye tried it when the. cholera visited this
country before, and am satisfied that it is
the best that has yet been discovered. |
amnow 80 years of age, and desire before 4
die to see this remedy 5fally testeGi.g1I In 1866
! caused a circular to be printed announc-
ing my discovery, and sent it to some of
the most learned and influential men in
this and in other countries, but the absence
Of the cholera during the intervening period
has prevented its trial. We are about to
have an abundant opportunity of testing
its value i call upon physicians every
where to test my discovery and to this end
requestall newspapers and Journals to give
it publicity.h Aud should the remedy be
successful when tried, Ireqaest that Ilmay
be potifed by letter. 1t will give unbound
ed JOY to my old heart, and lay the basis of
"a just claim against the men OF this and
othercoantrles for some sort of compensa-
stion commensurate with the value of the

The GROUSE MURDER we give g
number of comments OF different Journals up.
on the tragedy which occurred in this place
on the 1st of August. There appears to be
some difference Of opinion In regard to John
P. Reed, Jr. One party asserting that he put
in a substitute while the other contends that
he paid commutation. We have the authori-
ty of Capt. Eyster for saying that he paid
commutation.
MURDER OF AN Ex-PRoyosT MARSHAL BY A
CANADIAN REFuGEE.-It is with feelings of
pain that We recrod the murder of Mr.. Jacob
Grouse of Bedford, Ex-Deputy Provost Mar
shall, in the streets of that town, on Tuesday
the 1st inst, by John P. Peed, Jr,, son of
John P. Reed, lawyer of that town. With
all the parties we are acquainted, Not long
before the first draft, but when it was known
there would be one, John P. Reed, Jr., left
for Canada, where he studied law. Whilst
there he was drafted twice. He did not re-
port until about the closing of the war, when
he came back, and his father managed to get
a substitute in for him. This of course was
done so as to save him from the law disfran-
chising skulkers. 1t is contended by the
Reeds and their copperhead friends, that he
did not leave on account of the war. This is
all fudge. 1t is not likely that the father, a
man of moderate means, would keep his son
IN foreign country at an expense of $500
year, for three or four years, where had no
relatives or friends, when he himself is law
yer and has a law Office in Bedford, His sons
expenses at home would hardly have been one
fourth that amount. Mengel Reed, brother
of j. P. Reed, in company with Brinton Ly-
On, son of VIM. Lyon, Esq, of Eedford; IN
1868, went to McConneisburg, and Joined I'M
boden's cavalry. He was taken prisoner at
Gettysburg, by our forces, and confined at
Fort Delaware. His friends learning this fact,
went on and got him to take the oath of allie
glance. and thus got him out of the rebel SER
vice Lyon, his companion, more brave in a
bad cause, fought it out till the end, and had
not, we believe, the brazen impudence to re-
turn among foyal men where he was known.
Mengers friends pretend he was pressed into
the rebel servicel He and Lyon naturally
joined the army of their choice, according to
the teachings Of their friends.
On Saturday week, as Grouse was coming
down street he passed Mengel Reed in front
of the Mengel house. Grouse remarked, 'how
are you, Johnny" and passed on. MengeI
hallooed after him TO stop and he would cane
HIM. Grouse stopped, and told him he need
90 no further than just there. At this John
7, Reed, Jr., run in and struck Grouse, and
IN the scufle they both fell. Reeds friends
rushedin and kicked and struck Grouse They
were then parted. In the evening Grouse
mistook Schell Reed, for his brother, John p,
and struck him. John p. was on hand, when
another scuffle ensued, and ended in neither
party being much hurt.
Here follows the Laquder's account of the
tragedy:

loved his country, the mother loves the

had something to do with the murder.-Del.
Co. Rep.
TIE Bedford Gazette is only consistent when
it justifes the murder of Jacob Grouse, who
was recently shot down by returned deserter,
for no other reason than that the delinquent
and cowardly copperhead hated Grouse as
faithful officer. The Gazette justified the muir
der of Union men by the rebels, the starva.
ton of Union prisoners, and lastly the assas-
sination of Mr.. Lincoln. We repeat then
that to approve the murder of Grouse is only
to be consistent Harrisburg Telegraph.

Editor Bedford INQUIRER.
Dear sir: Il have just reeeiyedthe INQUIRER
of the 4th inst, aud had my heart to move
with commingled feelings of sadness and in
dignation as / read the details of the wicked,
,ctcked murder of Jacob Grouse. And yet,
my dear sir, it is result that might have
been almost looked for. When two wears ago
your citizens allowed that miserable boy to
come back fresh from the rebel ranks and
move amongst you, ! well remember the
food of indignation that overwhelmed me and
my conviction then that his poisonous pres
ence would defile your quiet lovely valley.
a Df lSorry are es-sl his. h-etors- owed by the
same hell born spirit which, alas for Bedford,
reigned visibly in So many of your citizens,
have wrought out before your eyes an exam
pie of what rebels and traitors have been do
ing elsewhere through the past four years.
Sir, it was no kindness to let your prominent
men talk secession openly on your streets.
Age, experienced, and cunning kept them from
openly and manfally joining the armies of
rebellion, but it did not keep them from
send ing representatives there. And some of
them have the CALLING memories that their
own teachings, urged into rebel ranks, and
have blackened with traitorous fame, their
own sons. Well may horror seize upon them
as they see the patriotic blood of acob Grouse
flow on your streets as he falls victim to the
foul spirit, which they indulged in their own
hearts, and transfnsed into younger hearts
than their own, TO work out itself in deeds of
shame and infamy and foul murder.
tell you, sir, that have not been in Bed
ford for the past two years, that my blood has
boiled within me as heard of the sayings
and doings Of your cowardly, traitorous citi.
zens. And, now, at last it has eliminated and
the blood of Jacob Grouse is memorial for
all time, a witness of what manner of men
have lived amongst you, protected by the flag
they longed to dishonor, and enjoying the
sweets of quiet home which they sought to
transfer into the miseries and curse of civil
war. But, sir, did not take up my pen to
write thus My heart was sorely touched by
the account Of this foul murder, and would
mingle my sorrows with you all, over the sad
end of poor Grouse. He sleeps the same
sleep our army of martyred heroes do, who
lived and died for their country.
want to add my mite in behalf of the
fund which l see by your paper is being rails
ed for his family, and you will please find
herein fifteen dollars, which you viii add to.

In this same connection 1 would suggest
that over the murdered patriot, your citizens
should erect some stone, that would tell the
story of his death, and remind passing gen
erations of the infamous rebellion that cursed
our country about the middle of 10Th Centu-
