' GREAT BTI T AIN. "
LONDON, September 24.—The Guardian
says: A manuscript in Lord Byron%
own handwriting will soon be published,
which will settle the question raised by
Mrs. Stowe.
The Times, today, in an article on the
letter of Father Hyacinth says: "It is to
the Pope and his Jesuit advisers that we
are indebted for A. - 3. Hyacinth. With
out the idea of a Council he might have
continued in the discharge of hiii office,
occasionally starting his hearers with
sudden flashes of the truth—that is in
thus bearing the accustomed yoke, and
allowing himselft to be accounted the
luminary of the Church of which
he is now considered a fire brand,
the Pope would scarcely dream
of rebuking him in the same man.
ner. He continued Father Passaglia,
the noted Italian theologian and oppo
nent of the temporal power. Father
Hyacinth% letter is not the production
of a worldly spirit. It is the effusion of
. a soul in earnest, and is the first utter
., ance of a word which may take root and
grow and fructify.
The Standard to-day says: “Whatever
•:;: her legitimate claims to Cuba may be,
Spain labors under a disadvantage in
having to prosecute them in the face of
the susceptibilities of the American pee
"- ple. while she is herself in a condition of
revolution. The Americans cannot wish,
for anything else than that Cuba shall
be free , to choose whether she remain
with Spain,' or become an independent .
Republic. That material assistance is
rendered to Cuba through the sympathy
which the Americans feel for her, can
, not be doubted:" but if those sympathies
;should demand war, it would be the most
i'anconalous , and , extraordinary conflict.

(Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
BUTLER, PA., Sept. 24, 1869.
Governer Geary and suite left Apollo
yesterday morning at eight o'clock en
route for Butler, Pa. At Allegheny
Junction they were met by a Committee
of citizens from Freeport and escorted
into town. A large company greeted
the Governor's' arrival at the depot in
Freeport, and much enthusiasm pre
vailed. The party were immediately
taken in charge by a Committee from
Butler, who accompanied them to that
place. All along the route they were
greeted with evidences of the heartiest
enthusiasm.
Upon arriving at their destination,
they were escorted through the principal
streets, and finally brought up at the
hotel where the formal recep:ion took
place. The excitement was intense, and
the people seemed to turn out en inane
to welcome the distinguished visitors/.
After taking some refreshments the
party visited the County Fair which was
in progress. The reception at this place.
where - visitors from all parts of the
county and surroundings had gathered,
was equally flattering, and exhibited in
a
;13
arked degree the feeling pf the people.
At night a grand mass meeting was
h ld at the Court Hottse which was lit
erally packed with a jubilant audience
of ladle's and gentlemen who had turned
out to honor the Chief Executive.
At seven' o'clock the meeting was
called to order by Hugh Morrison, Esq p
Ofiedrinazeof the County Republican Ex
ecutive Committee, ands large liak . of
Vice Presidents and Secretaries were
chosen. A brass hand from Pittsburgh
was in attendance and added to thespirit
of the affair by interspersing the pro•
,ceediegs ‘ ystitt patriotic alidu v _-
4 'After an organization liii.theadformit;
i ly effected. the chairman introduced the
.Governor, who was loudly cheered.
When the excitement had calmed down
somewhat he commenced his address,
and spoke for over an hour, during
which his remarks called forth frequent
bursts of applause.
At :the conclusion of the Governor,s
address, Hon. Mahlon Chance, of Ohio,
entertained the audience for a short time
with a telling speech. Other !speeches
followed, and the meeting adjourned at
a late', hour, with cheers for Geary and
Williams.
From the spirit manifested, it is evi•
dent Butler is fully awake, and will give
a good old fashioned Majority for the
Republican ticket.
.The Governor, on his return from But=
ler, will atop at Freeport and speak at
2 o'clock in the afternoon, after which he
will go to Pittsburgh, arriving Saturday
night.' This will interfere with the sr
rangementls for the meeting at Tarentum,
which will have to be postponed. A
change in the programme was thought
desirable. He is in excellent working trim

shape Of a panic in the stock market, re

the value of what, are known as
the Vanderbilt (Central and Hudson

who counted themselves well 'off when°
they came down town a few hours earlier

It must not be supposed that a panic
like this affects. the professional brokers
only. There is a 'multitude of .men of

—The Grand Lodge of Good Templar%
In session at Rochester, N. Y., adopted a
platform which says: The first solid
and great principle of our Order is in the
assertion that ever Good Templar
should do all he can
prebothcept and
example to abolish the use of intoxi
cating drinks. The doctrines of prohibi
tion for each individual and for society
stand first in the teachings of our order,
and while we are not a political organiza
tion, but rather an institution to educate
the people of a political action, a Good
Templar in the discharge of his duties as
a citizen, should recognize the claims of
his obligation and dq all In hie power to
secure and force restrictive and prohibi
tory legislation. The time has not come
for the organization of a political party,
but the time has come for every temper
ance man to engage in temperance poli
tica, keeping in mind that we can labor
for the largest immediate results now
practicable.. It is evident that prohibi
tion is now presented us as the first avai
able work' to be done.

A Few YiOn Words to the Voters ut
Allegheny County.
EDITORS GazErrn: The undersigned
claims Lobe as good a temperance man
as the county holds. He also claims
to be a good Republican—one who
always supports the nominees of the
party, unless good and sufficient reasons
are given to him for voting against them.
With these pi omises before him, the
question occurred, "What is my duty
this Fall in reference to the candidates for
County Commissioner""
As a temperance man and a Repnbli.
can, Who shall I support? .Boswifk.
Dickey or McGee? Tula is a quettion
which every voter should , carefully
weigh for himself before casting his
vote at the coming election—whether he
be a temperance or an intemperance
man, he should fully discuss in his
own mind which of the three candidates
to support with his vote and voice.
Mr. Bostwick 'hold's the nomination
from the Republican bel i ev e Mr. Dickey
from - the Reform, (I that is fair,
for they don't claim to be the temper
ance party, at least their speakers don't)
and Mr. McKee from the Democratic
party.
The undersigned is personally acquaint
ed with all three of the candidates, and
can cheerfully testify to the good char
acter they all possess, and so far as an
hcquaintance of sevezeiliyears with them
goes to prove, be is folly persuaded that
eitheif one of them is as trustworthy as
the others.
In the matter of business qualifications,
they again are equally well fitted for the
office; being all business men of good
commercial standing.
In the matter of this world's goods, 1
believe Mr. Dickey has the advantage
over all, and Mr. McGee has it also over
Mr. Bostwick—me latter being not only
a poor man, but, unfortunately, the lobs
of an arm has unfitted him for competing
do fair grounds with his more fortunate
Now, I propose to drop Mr. McGee, as
he is a Democrat, and no better qualified,
in my judgment, than his Republican
opponents, and hereafter confine' my re.
miirka to the other two candidates, being
both Republicans. .
In the first place, then, I distinctly
state that Mr. Bostwick was nominated
by his party in opposition to George
Hamilton, the present Cpmmissioner, a
member of the obnoxious ring, if any such
thing exists outside of the heads of a few
disappointed and chronic offt:e-seekers.
He defeated, in convention, the candi
date of the ring, for this nomination, on
the distinct pledge made to his friends
that he would honestly and faithfully ex
ecute the law, and on this pledge being
Made known, tie received the open and
bitter opposition of every one supposed
to be in the interest of Whisky. --
What more can Mr., Dickey do? What
more does he propose to do? Nothing!
Now, then,:.vidit be falfill his pledge to
his friends•to•bonestly and faithfully ex.!,
saute not onirtbewhiskyorlicenseigir ,
but all ,business , coming before him as
County Commissloper?
For,my part, Messrs. Editors, after an
acqnsintanceof fifteen yeam, I am willing
to trust hits, so far as honesty and in=
tegrity are concerned. • .
Yes, but the Dickey men say, has he
the back bone necessary to oppose the re
maining two Commissioners? Aye! he
has that very qualification iman eminent
degree, for proof of which I can point to
his history as a police officer and to his
conduct in times when it required back
bone,
,or moral courage, to enforce the
police laws, and a more determined man
does not exist. than this same one armed
candidate.
Again, does he drink? Is he a drinking
man? Yon Republicans who threw np
your bats for General Grant, and have
steadily and persistently voted for every
county and city officer for these dozen
years or more, need not be informed that
there is a distinction to be made between
a man who drinks and a drunkard. That
Chauncey Bostwick does not belong to
the latter class, need not be affirmed
here;but if he or Mr. Dickey' want
ed a glass of wine or beer, or maybe on
a cod day something stronger the wri
ter firmly believes that they w o nld take
it, andjdo Mr. Dickey's friends attempt
to find fault with it? No! On the con
trary, their orators everywhere proclaim
that they are not a temperance party of
tee.to Utters, bat temperate men, after re
form in the Commissioner's Office. So
do we.
Now, airs,• one word more: Who are
Mr. Dickey's friends? • Who are they
who hold up their hands in holy horror
and cry out with aloud voice, this man,
Bostwick, must not be elected. The
orator who is stumping the county for
him, is himself a disappointed and ohs
grinedoffice seeker. He went into the
County Convention and sought to be
nominated by the Republican party for
Assembly, and was defeated. Of course
he cries out "mad dog" to turn the
public gaze from himself. He was per
fectly willing to accept a• nomination
from any ring, or as the old maid said,
"good Lord, anybody." But lo! when
he faile d and was defeated, then he
became loud and blatant against the
corruptions of the party, and rung the
changes that the ticket should be bolted.
Poor fellow, 'I commend him to a faith
ful husbandry of hirc• resources.
Others of Mr. Dickey's. warm friends'
we find among those who supported the

PETROLEUM MEWS.
The Titusville Hearld of yesterday
says:
Within the last thirty days prospect
ing for new oilfields and for the contin
nance of oil belts, has been unusually
successful. About a month ago a ten
barrel well was struck near Emlinto,
in entirely new district. Then n the
Church Run district was extended west
ward by the striking of a new twenty.'
five barrel well, FoitowingcloselynDOEl
these a new sixty-five barrel well was
struck on the Shaw farm, Rouseville, by
which a large addition was made to the
producing lands. More recently the
Bean farm and Cherrytree ran districts
havo been enlarged, the latter consider
ably, and to-day we have to report that.
the territory at Rowieville, on the west
side of the creek, baa been extended
three-fourths of a mile westward. This
last hps been made tolerably certain by
the striking of a new well at the distance
named from the creek. The well is lo
cated on the A. Buchanan farm, is known
as the Mountain welt, and now produces
25 barrels daily.. -.lt. .was completed
about three weeks since; .but, owing , to
the tubing in it being defective, the pro
duction did not exceed six barrels, until
early this week, when the defective tub
ing was removed anti the production has
since -increased, and now is as stated.
The well is owned the land inrest
of the farm on which by
it is situated .The
discoveries of territory noted above are
of .great importance, as they will add
Much to the wealth of the region and al
low development to be pursued_otot

thing that can be conslderad satisfactory.,,
The Knapp well, which was the
struck in this distriet, and 'which pro

and Dr. Cooper purchased the Alcorn
tract - near the Shaw farm, for' $19,0011.
The purchase includes one hundred and

A new five.barrel well was struck on
the Allegheny river south of the . Ferran
farm, a few days ago.
A company hie 'been formed to test
the territory on this Muskingum river,
