CUMBERLASB VALLEY, Sept. 12, 1865.
Editors Iaqairer:-Thinlxing that a few
lines from this ont-ofthe-way place would
not come amiss, 7 thought ]. would pen the
same, though not having any news of impor-
tonce to write. There is rather dearth of
that article here at this time. In fact this
place was never noted for any very important
news, without it was when runaway slave
from some part of s'Dixie' was taken up. y
safely lodged in Jail and the reward jingling
in the pocket of the catcher. But strange to
say, that, even, has ''played out,'' much to
the chagrin of some men who think that mo-
ney pays well at ten per cent. Interest. We
would advise them though, to be of good
cheer-the raising of wheat also pays well at
three dollars per bushel
Copperheadism here after the election win
very much resemble in appearance the last
run of shad. The soldiers are determined to
attend to the skedaddlers from the draft,
(most all of whom have skulked home,) on
the second Tuesday in October. They think,
and rightly too, that men who deserted the
cause of their country when called upon,
should not have the same privilege at the
ballot box that men have who faced the mu-
sic, and put an end to the most infamous re-
beliion that ever disgraced the annals of the
world-and they are determined they shall
not. There are some thirty deserters from
the draft in this township, fact which does
not speak volumes for its loyalty. You might
probably ask the reason of this. The teach
ings of the Gazette-the god the ignorant wor-
ship, the editor of which, if we may Judge
from his paper, is about as much qualified to
enlighten person as blind hog is to watch
a meat house, and propably less.
Whether the Cops will endeavor to hold
meeting here prior to the election, is rather
doubtful. We rather think not, though they
might prevail OF some of the bounty-jumpers,
skedaddlers from the draft &C., to attend, but
We are of the opinion that they would proba-
bly, have some objections to being caught out
from home.
The editor of the Gazette has taken it upon
send me some copies of his "vile,
loathsome" sheet, which wish him to under.
stand ! do not thank him for, and further, /
Eant him to discontinue sending the same
He might probably put his paper to some
other use, or at least do not want it.

nea-. We take great pleasure in returning
our thanks to the numerous subscribers of
the INQUIRER for the prompt manner in which
they have come forward and paid their sub
scription in advance. We believe that we
have the best paying patrons in the State.
We are also very highly gratifed at the nu-
merous subscriptions which we have received;
during Court week upwards of twenty volun
tarily gave us their names without any exer-
ton on our part, and better than all this, paid
in advance. The INQUIRER has almost dou-
bled its circulation within the last two years,
it is now rapidly approaching 1, 400, between
l,l00 and 1900 of this number are circulated
in Bedford county, making it one of the best
advertising mediums in Southern Pennsylva-
MIA. This circulation then, we have 10 hesi-
tation in saying, exceeds the bona fide eireu-
lation attained by any other journal in this
county at least 500. This is certainly very
encouraging, and with a little more effort on
the part of our friends the INQUIRER will 90
into the hands of two-thirds of the Union
men In the county, when we succeed in ac-
eomphshing this feat, Bedford county viii give
US clear Union majority of three hundred
Friends, there are twenty-six hundred Union
voters in the county, the INqUIREE ought to
be in the hands of two thousand of them at
the least calculation. We are giving as much
reading matter as any county paper published,
aud we are excluding all the demoralizing
advertisements which too frequently crowd
the columns of the country press. In very
short time we will be clear Of them entirely
when we will not likely renew the contracts

guard of Republican institutions.-tf.

HORSE THIEVES. Our jail has been the re-.
ceptacle of some four or FIVE horse thieves
within the last week. Horse stealing ap-
pears to be paying business. Three we're
stolen down in Londonderry the other night;
two from one man. The thieves were not
sharp enough and they were captured and
lodged in jail. Justice awaits them.
The SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.
The engineers who have for the last year
been running experimental surveys between
Connellsyille and Chambersburg, commenced
this week locating the road between this point
and Mount Dallas. This we hope indicates
an intention on the part of the Company to
complete the Bedford road from its present
terminus to this place. No greater favor
could in any event be bestowed upon our peo-
pie; nor do we think that better investment
could be made. Railroads generally make
business; this has been most fully verified in
the case Of the Bedford Railroad. The Broad
Top Company have not been able to supply
the demand for rolling stock. BY its exten-
sion to Bedford the trade would be increased
two-fold, while we would have the assurance
that the Broap Top road would be improved.
We hope that the company viii put the seven
miles between this point and Mount Dallas
under contract at once.
PENNSYLVANIA CoLLEGE.-This institution,
located at Gettysburg, is rapidly rising into
public notice and favor.
We observe with pleasure that its enterpri-
sing and energetic trustees have resolved up
on such a modification of its preparatory De-
partment as viii make it at once a most de-
sirable place to which parents can send their
sons at an early age, with the assurance that
they win be cared for and trained as in well
conducted family.
The Rev. Mr.. Ehrhart, of Middletown, who
has had much experience in such matters and
is in every way admirably adapted to take
charge of such an establishment, has been
elected Principal of the Preparatory Depart
ment and member Of the College Faculty.
He viii at once take up his residence in the
large college building and take personal su-
peryision of all boys who may be committed
to his care. The trustees intend to erect
large building during the coming year for the |
special accommodation of this department
The attention Of christian parents is espe-
cially invited to the advantages of this school,
which is located in moral and intelligent |
community, in proverbially healthy region
of country, somewhat retired and yet easy of
access by railroad. Especially for those who |
intend to send their sons to Pennsylvania
College hereafter, is it desirable that they |
have such an opportunity of giving them their
training with special reference to
the course of study pursued in that institu-
ton.
For particulars in regard to the price of
tuition, boarding, &C., parents and guardians
are referred to Rev. c. J. Ehrhart, of Mid |
dletown, or D. A. Buehler, Esq, Gettys.
