Who are Democrats. if you want to learn from a most authentic und roiiahlo souroc who-are Democrats, turn to the Bedford Inquirer of last week. The editor of that strong and uncompromising Democratic paper, has always hen a very warm friend fo the Democracy, and lie, of course, ought to he able to tell who are Democrats. True, he used to characterize them by the title of "loco focos," hut that was only a pet name, and when lie cursed thein as "Secessionists" and "Tories," he only meant to call them, in a Pickwickian sense, by endearing epith s. He is the man that can tell you what the word "Democrat" moans and to whom it ought, to he npplied.

Of course, being the exponent of the policy of the Federal Administration, he is an Abolitionist of the deepest dye, hut then that does not incapacitate him to judge as to who arc Democrats. He knows is a "divine right" with him to ave Democrats. He knows that no man is a Democrat who insists that the Constitution must be a one ho knows to bo a Copperhead. Ho knows that no man who is in favor of restoring the Union as it was, is a a one, lie is quite certain, is a most virulently poisonous Copperhead. lie knows that no man who declares for freedom of speech and of the press, for the right of trial by jury and of the habeas corpus (where the public safety does not require the suspension of that writ) is a a one is a venomous Copperhead.

Ile knows that no man who desires an early and honorable peace, or a settlement of our national troubles as the founders of the Republic settled them, is a is sure that all who cling to the doctrines of Washington, Madison and Hamilton are vile and crawling Copperheads. Ilnil, sapient Durhorrow! All hail the newly found apostle of Democracy! Let every Democrat go to this great expounder of Democratic truth who has erected the Procrustean bed of Abolition upon which all most lie ere they can become true und honest Democrats. Go to him and if you are too short in Democratic stature, have yourself stretched till yoq till the measure of Durhorrow; if you are too much elongated, have your limbs chopped off till you fit exactly ihe political bed of the new Democratic Apostle. If you do this, lie and every foul-tongued Abolitionist who knows voo, will eer.se to call you Copperhead, and will receive you with caresses and greetings of welcome into the truo Democratic fold, of which they know themselves to be the shepherds. Only bo an Abolitionist, and then you can no longer ho a Copperhead.

But who calls Democrats Copperheads? Not the Democrats, themselves. The name is given them by their political opponents, ami when some Democrats receive it in good humor and in order to ridicule the opprobrious and unmerited title, wear heads of liberty, cut out of copper the Abolition inventors of the name, feeling themselves outwitted, get angry and sty le such Democrats "Traitors" and "Secession Sympathizers." We do not accept the Abolition epithet as our'politiyal name. We make sport of it, by showing them that we don't care what' they call us, so long as we conscientiously believe wo are iu the right. "What's in a name A rose by any otkr name would unell as swet." Hut wo know the object of the Abolitionist? in calling the Gopgerheads, They know that it is vile and scandalous name, and think that some Democrats will hate it so much that, rather than be called by it, they will leave the party. The Abolitionists think that they can thus create a division in the Democratic ranks, which, of course, would redound to their benefit.

Those persons whom they style "War Democrats," are to be operated upon in this way. They hope to array the "War Democrats" against their old party, by calling prominent. Democrats "Copperheads'' and "Secessionists." They do not remember that they insult the intelligence of "War Democrats," by thus endeavoring to prejudice them against a party with which they have always acted. But this Abolition trap will catch nobody who Ims his eyes open. They may cry Copperhead! till they see snakes in their own hoots, but they can't fool Democrats by any such transparent trickery as this.

You had better give it up, Messrs. Abolish! Your Copperhead game is a bout played out. The Conscription. We have always believed and now assert that the Conscription law is unconstitutional. But until it is so pronounced by the Courts, it is still a law of the land.

It cannot lie decided upon by the Courts until a case under it. is brought before them. The people, therefore, must bide their time. However odious the law may be, it is light to obey it until through the Courts or at the ballot-box we may lawfully annul Wc, therefore, couosel the people to submit to the enrolment. The time will soon be here when we can vote enrolling officers out of employment.

Let us wait for that time. Resistance to the enrolment, begets military occupation. The Abolitionists only want an excuse for this. They have already sent a messenger to the East, to obtain soldiers for the capturing of a few old women who belabored (lie enrolling officer in St. Clair township.

They want you to give them an excuse to send for troops. If they can succeed in getting a military force quartered in Bedford county, they think the game is in their own hands at the election. Therefore, he warned. Exciting News! We give below what we have understood to have gone over the wires sinec Sunday evening. The rebels approached Winchester, on Friday.

1 lad a severe fight and capt nrcd the town. They then advanced on our forces and took Martinsburg after a hard fight. The next news was that they wore crossing the Potomac in strong force at Williamsport, Md. They then advanced to Ilagerstown, in the meantime capturing our wagons', baggage trains, They then marched to Grecncastle, and burned the ware-houses supposed to contain Government ordnance. On Wednesday last the following news items appeared: Governor Curtin issued a proclamation calling out 30,000 volunteers to rendezvous at Clmmbersburg and Pittsburg.

Transportation and travel stopped on the Pennsylvania Central Hail Pond, and 20,000 men at Alroonn ItiroWtng up entrenchments. Orders given to obstruct the Broad Top Hail Road and prevent raids into the coal region. A rumor is afloat of 0,000 cavalry approaching Cumberland, with the prospect of an advance through our valley toward Hollidavsburg. A Sincere Patriot. The editor of the Bedford Inquirer refuses to counsel the people to refrain from violence against the agents of the Conscription, and tries to ridicule us for doing so.

He wants smoke of burning barns is incense to his crack of the bush-whacker's rillo is music to his ears. Tie loves carnagehe revels in delights himself in ashes and desolation. Why? Because he hopes civil trouble in Bedford county, will bring about the intervention of the military and then the people will he subjugated to the rule of the Jacobin party. A sincere patriot is he, truly. CRT In what purports to lo description of tlie politcal animal which the Abolitionists style Copperhead, the Bedford Inquirer gives as one of the prominent characteristics of this troublesome reptile, the fact of its Demanding the 'Union as it literally means the remanding of all the.

slaves that have escaped, bank into slavery." Do we understand the Inquirer man to be opposed to the Union as it was? And would he not bo willing to make peace upon the terms that the Southern people should return to their allegiance, and the Government restore them the negroes they have lost during the war Dot us hear from you, Abolish 1 The Knights of the Golden Circle have their Cast' all river the Country, and even in tincounty: we have the facts in our Hertford.

L. RUSSELL, Adj't Gen. P. M. The President has no Dispensing Power, Neither ha 3 any of his Generals.

We quote, front a lengthy article of the Xaliomll Intelligencer the following just and sensible remarks in regard to the Statutes of July 17, 1802, and March 8, men who themselves respect the laws have a right to complain that violators of these statutes arc not tried under them. Neither the President nor General Burnside has any 'dispensing power' which enables them to unbind the sanctions of these laws, whether as applicable to them or to others. Their duty is to enforce the laws, not to suspend or supersede them. That it should be necessary for us to restate such faniiliaraxioms only shows the strange dislocation of ideas produced by the wrench strain of martini violence. The true doctrine was propounded on this subject by Mr.

Sepator Trumbull, when, it few days ago, he was called to consider the. question raised by Burnside meditated suppression ol th'i Chicago Times. He then said: Constitution protects all in time of wains well as peace. This Constitution 'expressly I gives the power to suppress insurrection and put down rebellion. There is no question but that general has authority, but it is a question how that authoricy ex toads.

There is no war in Illinois. Have not tiie people the papers in this city right to discuss and criticise the measures of this war? It is a right which you one of you. There is not a man ol you but has discussed and criticised the acts ol the Administration. There is not a man wno lias not blamed the Government fur certain arts, and if you deny newspapers the right to express their opinions, then you arc the subjects omilitary authority. There is civil law in operation here.

A newspaper has been suppressed in your city and it is claimed that that paper has attempted to discourage our soldiers, opposed the acts of the Administration, and encouraged resistance to the draft. Now, if that paper is guilty of such acts its editors could bo arrested and thrown into prison. The law should be enforced."

BALTIMORE, 110 Baltimore American publishes the following intelligence from nn entirely reliable source: An n(tack was made on Sunday morning on a small force of our men at Berryville, 'J miles from Winchester, opposite Snicker's Gap, under Gen. of which the first Maryland Regiment formed a part.

They fell back before the superior numbers, and joined Milrov at Winchester alter a sharp engagement, of which the results are ut present unknown. At the same time Winchester was attacked in front from the south by a force said to be under Gen. Tv.voll, Jackson's successor. The troops making the attack at Berryville are said to be under Gen. Trimble.

A third force after this encounter is said to have captured a small detachment of our men at Bunker Ilill and then moved on to Martinsburg. At 1 o'clock, P. to-day they demanded the surrender of Martinsburg giving 45 minutes lor the women and children to leave the town. Gen. Tyler, commanding at Martinsburg, refused to surrender, and an artillery light ensued.

At 7.15 to-night the wires were broken between Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg. What occurred after that is not known. A battle was also in progress at Winchester, to-day. The results are unknown at this hour. Gen.

Milroy repulsed Ewell on Saturday, and said he could hold out for reinforcements to reach him. No damage to the railroad as yet, and no cars or engines are exposed to capture, as all have been removed. No less than 70 locomotives and 1200 ears were brought to Baltimore to-day. Advance of the Rebels. The Philadelphia Evening Journal of June 15, says: The advanced guard of General Leo has driven the Union forces from Winchester to Martinsburg.

The advance is said to number 10,000 men. This places the Baltimore and Ohio liailroad in jeopardy. (Jen. Couch is fortifying Chambcrsburg. It is believed that the State will have to depend entirely upon herself for her defense.

It is reported that the rebels have passed thro' Hagerstown, on their way to Columbia, Pennsylvania, ten thousand strong (cavalry.)

Tyler ha retreated from Martinsburg at 8 o'clock last evening, that out force at Winchester had pi up ably been captured yesterday, and that the ei lemy are in force, probably ten thousand strong, at Hagerstown.

Reported Capture of Milliken's Bend by Kirby Smith Garrison at Vicksburg. WASHINGTON, June 12. following extracts are taken from the Richmond Dispatch of the JACKSON, June Pemberton has sent word that he can hold Vieksburg, and Gen. Johnson is to take his time to organize and discipline his forces. MOBILE, June A special to the Tribune front Jackson, dated the Bth, says there are many rumors, the most reliable of which is that Gen.

Kirby Smith, instead of being at Port Hudson, has taken JVlilliken's Bend, and cut ofF Grant's supplies. It is reported that Jackson's cavalry have cut their way to Vieksburg. Jackson has evidently done something. Heavy tiring is heard from Vieksburg. Grierson is believed to have been driven live miles front Clinton, La.

MOBILE, June special dispatch to the Advertiser and Register, from Jackson, Bth, says: "A courier from Vieksburg reports eheeriugly. Our men are fatigued, but in good spirits. Our loss is a litile over five Col. Marks, of Louisiana, is mortally wounded. Waddell's battery lost twelve killed and twenty-three wounded.

Nine trains of troops, believed to be from Rosccrans' army, arrived at Memphis on Saturday. There is merely a garrison at Memphis." JACKSON, June scout, just from Vieksburg, reports all working well. The men are in good spirits, but are somewhat wearied from lying in the trenches and exposure to the sun. Grant is now slowlv advancing by building parallels, which are four hundred yards from the outer works. There has been no general assault for ten days past.

There is plenty of ammunition and provisions and Vieksburg, and the soldiers and citizens are confident of the Our entire loss during the series of assaults does not exceed six hundred. There was heavy firing with muskets and artillery yesterday, and artillery to-day. MOBILE, June private dispatch from Jackson, Bth reports Vieksburg all right, Kirby Smith is in possession of Milliken's Rend. Our dispntohes from the Southwest still continue to he of the most cheering character. The brave garrison of Vieksburg is as confident of success and determined as ever, and Kirby Smith, with ten thousand men, is said to occupy Milliken's Rend, some twenty milesabout Vieksburg, on the right bank of the Mississippi, and to cut off Grant's supplies.

It will bo noticed that all the reports concur in the fact that tin; Yankee losses at Vicksburg and Port Hudson have beeu enormous. No wonder that Grant calls for reinforcements. MEMPHIS, steamer Fort Wayne ariived here from below to-day. She brings no I later dates than the Bth. No guerillas were seen on the Way up, The light at Miliiken's Bend, on Sunday last, was a sanguinary affair, much larger than was lat first reported.

The rebels, under lough, were two thousand live hundred strong, I while the Federal force consisted of three negro regiments and the Twenty-third lowa iiegiinent. The rebels made a desperate charge at daylight, when the negroes broke iri confusion; but on tinning that their captured companions were being slaughtered they were rallied, and with great desperation drove the rebels back. The loss was heavy on both sides. The guerillas destroyed portions of the railroad track near Gennuntown last night. The damage was slight and soon repaired.

The rebel forces in Northern Mississippi have all been sent to reinforce Gen. Johnson. Rebel Reports from Port Hudson. I MEMPHIS, June Mississippiau, of the 4th and sth, details the light at l'ort Hudson, and says that Kirby Smith drove Banks in leaving his dead and wounded on the field. According to that paper, Smith was pursuing Banks on the sth instant.

The latest dates from New Orleans are by the Afieeissippi, on the which time a studied and enforced silence was preserved in all the papers of lljat city. So silent were they as to give rise to suspicions of A Fighting Copperhead, General Grant, who has so gallantly led our troops against the rebels in Mississippi, is of the political persuasion known as a '-copperbead." A recent telegram from Washington stated that General Grant wns the only Union General who allowed certain "copperhead papers" to be sold within the papers alluded to being the Chicago Times and Cincinnati Enquirer.
