In the month of June, 1863, the clouds of war were unusually dark. The battles of Fredericks- 25 burg and Chancellorsville liad been fought with- out any decisive advantages to the Union forces. In fact the result had been rather unfarorable to our arms, on both occasions. The two contend- ing armies had scarcely recovered from the shock of their last combat, when the rebel commander essayed to penetratethe loyal States, and his trai- torous columns were in motion northward on a tour of invasio...n. The I^orth was everywhere in active preparation for the worst. The principal cities were being fortified, and military forces or- ganized. More important than that, an army of loyal veterans, with brave hearts and determined spirits, was maroitnd apples, such as Bedford county boasts of. In the next, we find, under a shingle roof, three jolly fellows wearing the insignia of officers, and with them a number of men are engaged in conversation with evident interest. We will not disturb them, but a glance at the county newspapers on the table, one a Ga- zette and another an Inquirer^ informs us that they hail from Bedford also.
