Money is very as at this time, and we hope our subscribers will find it convenient to pay their subscriptions as soon as the time mentioned. WE WILL furnish the BEDFORD INQUIRER until after the Presidential Election for Sixty cents. Now is the time to increase the circulation of the INQUIRER. No other instrumentality can be made so effective in bringing out and developing the strength of the Union party in this County as this paper. Meeting of the Union County Committee.

A meeting of the Union County Committee appointed at the last County Convention, will be held in Bedford Borough, MONDAY, JULY ELEYT'H at One o'clock, P. at the Washington Hotel. A full and punctual attendance is requested, as matters of importance will be brought before the Committee. GEO. W.

A NEW POST OFFICE has--been established at New Paris, in this County, and G.

W. Blaekbnrn appointed Post Master. A post office at this place has been needed for a long time, and we are very glad to record the establishment of one. We hear Mr. Black- burn spoken of as a good man for the place.

There i are a number of other localities in this County where new post offiices are greatly needed. The New Pari3 post office opens under very favorable auspices we think. It starts with eleven new subscribers to the INQUIRER, all paid iu advance. A good beginning, which rather naturally draws out our best wishes for New Paris. NEW SUBSCRIBERS.

of our readers, we be- lieve, will be glad to know that our subscription list i is still increasing very fast. Since our last issue we have added ninety-five names to onr lists, besides eighty to commence on the 22d of July and continue until the 11th of November. They come from all parts of the County, always bringing encouraging words of approval of the INQUIRER. It is not easy i to distinguish among so many, every where speak- ing a good word for the INQUIRER. But we may name the following gentlemen who have given in- disputable evidence of their purpose of doing what they can to extend the circulation and influence of the INQUIRER.

Wm. H. Davis and Geo. W. Black- burn, of Union township; A.

B. Bunn, ofSchells- I burg: J. B. Williams, of Bloody Run; G. R.

Bara- dollar and J. B. Castner, of Woodberry, and Simon Nycum, of Rays Hill, have been active in their re- spec live neighborhoods in procuring us new subscri- hers. We tender them our thanks, and venture the hope that they will not be likely to seethe INQUIRER "smashed up," with such patronage and good will as it is receiving now a day. COPPERHEAD TUMULT IN LANCASTER.

Lauras- ter Examiner has the following account of the pro- eeedings of a set of copperheads at Churchtowu, Lan- raster county, lately: "On Friday night, the 17th a disgraceful as- sault was made by a miserable set of Copperheads i on the Fairville Union Brass Band, while engaged in playing for the Academy Exhibition. The rioters came from the outskirts of the town, and were rein- forced bv some drafted Copperheads and whiskey- rangers living in the village. After getting up steam they started for the Exhibition, where they proved manliness and meanness by assailing a boy, who was soon relieved by his brother and several members of the Band, who thrust the swell-head riot- era out of the room. After having procured another invoice of tangle-foot whiskev, or as it is called in that cpuntry, rain-water and potash, they armc-d themselves with clubs and stones, and attacked the members of the Band as they were leaving the the Academy. The latter, however, armed them- selves with rundles from the bannisters, and after a little sbarp playing on the empty pates of the Copperheads made them beat a hasty retreat, and endeavor to heal their wounded honor and heads by the free application, outward and inward, of the aforealladed to whisky." For tie Bedford Inquirer.

COPPERHEADS AND The Difference. i Mr. short time ago I was much amused and also somewhat enlightened in regard to the difference between a Copperhead and a Rebel. A Stirling "democrat" was asked if he could tell the difference. He, after bracing himself up, thought he could do it satisfactorily.

"A Copperhead is a man, professing to be a democrat, talks much about the war, but won't go himself nor encourage others to go. This is what I call a Copperhead. A Rebel, you know, is a man that is opposed to Lincoln's admini istration." "Is that the difference," asked a bystander. "Yes." "Well, I differ somewhat with you. I think a Copperhead is a man who is a bogus democrat, having all the instincts of a traitor, but has not the courage to be a Rebel.

A Copperhead is worse than a Rebel. A Rebel has courage, but a Copperhead is a poltroon. Every thing goes wrong with such a man. and, while he pretends to be a "uuion he is only waiting for a good opportunity to Jeff Davis Co." Whereupon our friend, finding himself nicely photographed, commenced, in the free use of redundant phrases known among swearers, to abuse and vilify all about So much for Copperhead unionism. THE DRAFT.

Our town has been made very lively by the daily reporting of the drafted men of the various townships for the last week. The Board commenced its sessions on last Friday in the Court House, where it will continue iu sessions until the entire county has reported. Its laborf have been unusually severe and trying. On last Saturday one hundred and ten men were ordered to report and the claims of all were thoroughly examined. This was not less than two days work.

There appears to be considerable bitterness manifested by many who I are compelled to "muster out" the greenbacks or I don the bines. Although we have occasionally ticeda most venomous Copperhead "take it" in the best of spirits, but such are exceptions. It is a I shame that Bedford County has been compelled Ito bear this sweeping conscription, when it could have been avoided without the drafting of a single individual, had the Democratic Commissioners done what the Commissioners of eastern counties A bounty of one hundred and fifty dollars would have secured for Bedford county nine-tenths of all the men who left her and were accredited to eastern eoonties, and these would have filled her quota. The Commissioners of this connty and their peace at any Irice friends are solely responsible fpr the draft. The Board are making comparatively few nevertheless np to this time they have not dooen selcOera in this county.

W. Ashcom, which were unanimously adopted Resolved, That this Convention, representing the sentiments of the Union men of the County of Bed- I ford, most cordially approve and reaffirm the resolu- lions adopted by the National Union Party at. Balti- i more. Resolved, That the duty of standing bv the coun- 1 try as long as there is a country to stand by, in the emphatic language of that great and good mar, Rev. I Robert Breckinridge; of Kentucky, should con- i stantly kept before the miads of the people.

If the government should overthrown, all is lost, and it i must, therefore, be defended even to the very''gates of death." Resolved That the nominations made at Baltimore I were dictated by a pure regard for the best interests of the country. Their enthusiastic reception every where afford the strongest hope that the wisdom of presenting Lincoln and Johnson, as the Union can- didates for President and Vice President, will be triumphantly vindicated at the November election. I To doubt this would be to believe that the blessings of free government, and the blood and sacrifices it cost to secure them had been entirely forgotten. Resolved, That it is amongst the highest duties of the loyal voters at home, to secure to the gallant solj diers in the field, now perilling ail in defense of their eountrv, the right of suffrage so unjustly withheld from that therefore this convention most earnestly urges upon every friend of the soldier the important duty of attending the polls on the second day of August uext, and voting for the amendments i to the Constitution, one of whieh is designed to con- fer this inestimable and right. Resolved, That we have undiminished confidence tin the administration of Gov.

A. G. Curtin. His extraordinary and untiring efforts for the relief and comfort of the soldiers, and his unselfish devotion to i the great cause they are endeavoring to maintain, i have won for him a higher position in the affections I of the people and a higher niche in the temple of fame than any political advancement could possibly bestow. Resolved, That the diffusion of correct information and intelligence through the local-newspapers, I is one of the best means of securing the success of the ticket, and disappointing the schemes of those I who are striving to subvert the government, and to 1 this end the Convention earnestly recommend the i widest possible circulation of the BEDFORD INQUIRES, a paper conducted with marked ability, and looking and laboring solely for the triumph of the Union cause.

Resolved, That the Commissioners of Bedford County, backed up by their copperhead allies, in refusing to lay a tax for the payment bounty to volun-1 teers, whereby Bedford County would have been exj from the draft, should meet with the condemnation of all the friends of the maintaincnce of this Union in Bedford county. Rsoleed, That the candidates for Judge, Congress and the legislature have the power to appoint their own conferees. Adopted. Adjourned sine die. LETTER FROM CAPTAIN EVANS.

BATTLE LIKE, KEAR PETERSBURG, 1 June 22, 1864. EDITOR BEDFORD INQUIRER: I have no doubt but the friends of the members of my Company are very anxious to know of our whereabouts and how we are getting along since we have joined the grand army of the Potomac. Therefore I will pen you a few lines which you may insert in your valuable paper if you think it worth the room. We landed at Bell Plains, on the 18th of May, where we remained until the 21st, and then we took up the line of march for the army of the Potomac, where we "arrived after six days hard marching, and joined our Corps (the 2d, 2d Division and 2d Brigade,) on Sunday evening the 29th of May, and on Monday morning we were sent to the front line of battle, but were only engaged as skirmishers, until Friday morning the 2d of June, when we were ordered to charge on the enemy's works at Cold Harbor, which was done with a good will, but we did not succeed in carrying the works and were compelled to come to a halt and entrench ourselves, in order that we could hold the ground that we had bought so dearly. Ido not know what our entire loss was at that place, but it was very heavy for the time engaged.

We held our position at that place until Sunday evening, the 13th (all the time under the fire of the enemy's sharp shooters and part of the time hi 3 shells,) when we were ordered to steal out of our works, as we supposed to take a few days Test, but alas! there was no rest for the 2d Corps. When we got out of our works and our "Regiment formed, we got the command forward, to halt on the banks of the James River on Monday evening the 14th inst. On Tuesday morning we crossed the river and took up the march for Petersburg, and about eleven o'clock the same night we found ourselves in the outer works of the enemy, about two miles from Petersburg. Since that time we have been under fire all the time, gradually cloting in on their inner lines, and we are now about one mile from the city, with a very strong line of works in our front. I will append a list of the killed, wounded and missing so that the frienda of the unfortunate may know fomethiug of their loved one, who gre battling for freedom and right.

The heulih of the troops, as general thing, is very good, and all seem to be in good spirits. My company numbers 46 men for duty. KILLED. Mock, David R. Snowden.

Co. 184 th P. V. FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Interesting Letter From Cnpt John S.

Stultey. WHITE OAK SWAMP. Near Cbld Harbor, Juno 8, 1564. Lieut. Jack Porter of the 55th, took dinner with me yesterday, he just happened to call around about the time my cook had finished up cooking a nice moss of boiled beef and potatoes; he thought we knew how to live in campaign better than they did.

They are just like uew troops, at this kind of roughing it out. After dinner I went down with porter to seethe hoys of the 55tb, they lay about five hundred yards from here, or did the last few days. I expect they have left this morning, as they were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to move at any time. I knew but few I saw in that regiment. I saw Capts.

Living don and Metzgar, they wcra well but think this kind of service little harder than South Carolina sertice. They told me they had no change of clothing for fifteen days. I told them (which is the case) that I had not changed my shirt, drawers and stookings since the first day of May They came to the conclusion not to say anything about their change of clothing. This is a trying time hero, you can see wounded men being carried to the rear continually. Our regiment was relieved from the frout line yesterday morning where we hail been for twenty-four hours.

We lay in four lines of battle, and yesterday we lay in rear line but expect to move forward to relieve another regiment this There is nearly as many men killed and wounded in rear fine of earthworks as in front. I had a man, Noah Allison, mortally wonnded, day before yesterday, he died yesterday. lie is the son of John Allison who lives in the rear of Dubbstown, back towards the mountains. We are now, they say, within five miles, air line, from Richmond. I think myself'tis further.

We have the ground all dug up with entrenchments, hut the sharpshooters pick us off very fast. E. B. Stuckey was just this minute lying aslecp, and minnie bali strnek within a foot of tini. and bounced over him.

He says, "it may be a couple of days before one comes that close to him again." The boys are all in good spirits and think, '-conquer we must." I look on many things here with wander and amazement. 1 see men have their most intimate friends shot down, and in a few minutes, after they arc sent out of thoir sight they are laughing aud joking again as usual. I yesterday made out a fist of killed, wounded and missing in my Company up to date. Since this campaign commenced twenty-three is the number. Three of which are dead, that I know of now, and I think some of the missing men are dead.

Thus. Kurtz and Wilson Stuckey, are back somewhere with the trains. Yesterday there was a fug of trace hoisted. Ido not know who hoisted "it first, or what the object of it was, but I 1 do know that hostilities were stopped for one half an hour in front of the 2nd and qd Divisions of our While the hirst Division immediately on the left of our Division were engaging the enemy, at the same time a considerable portion of ouriuen and the Johnnies threw off their armor and mot haif-way between the two lines, shook hands, exchanged papers, and traded hard tack for tobacco. One Rob sharpshooter, up towards our First Division, still kept shooting down towards the parties that hail so met, when one of the Rebels made the remark, I ''that was some df 1 Rebel shooting down here that had no sense." When the half hour arrived the Stars i and Stripes were hoisted and yon ought to have seen thein split for their, lines; but three of the Johnnies forgot which side they were on they slipped around, got over here and would not return to Uieir former friends, never in my life saw a gladder set of fellows than lot of North Carolinians were, that we charged upoD on the afternoon 1 of the 18th of May, and took them prisoners.

We charged up to their works, they threw down their arni3 and called ua not to shoot them, and they ju rf came tumbling over I the works like and they would hollow to rur "Where is the rear? Where is the rear?" "Don't you want some tobacco, boys "No," says the boys, "wc went trouble you about your tobacco now, but we'll take some of it after this i 3 over, get back to the rear Johnnies. I Keep a little to the right, the balls don't fly so thick there, I get back get back our fellows would say to tbcin, and i I tell you they did get back as fast as their heels couid take them, where the Provost Guard would gather them and take them to headquarters. I remain very trulv, Your Brother, JOHN S. STUCKEY. 13Sth Regt.
