Newspaper suspended. --The editor of the Bedford (Va.) Democrat, Mr. John T. S. Perry, publishes the following card to his subscribers in his last issue: The sudden call for troops has made it the duty of the subscriber to comply with his engagement as a member of the "Old Dominion Rifles," and repair to the scene of service.
