CURTIN AND GEARY.

| The Belefontc "Press" says: Governor
Curtin Is sojourning for few days in our Dor
ough, He looks hale and hearty, and meets
everywhere the cordial welcome to which he
is entitled. He authorizes us to contradict
expressly the statement made in last weeks
"Watchman," that he is opposed to General
Geary. On the contrary he declares his pur-
pose to do all he can to secure his election -
He further assures us that the triumph Of Geary
is beyond a reasonable doubt. We need not
say that Gov. Curtin's wishes and efforts a"o
cordially with the party and Its candidates
1t could not be otherwise.
Mr. JAMES AIKEN takes the above paragraph
for his text, and writes the following lor the
Mflinburg "Tclcgraph :"
And why should not the soldiers friend"
Support the soldier, true and brave
One fought, lis country to defend;
One toiled, our noble boys to save.
Each in his sphere, q brilliant STAR
And both true champions Of the right;
Their councils, nor impair their might
Brave noble Curtin While his health
Seemed blosted-wihering for the tomb,
He led this glorious Commonwealth
Through years Of struggling anxious gloom.
With fiery vehcmcncc of soul,
Sprnging from warm IIibcrnian blood
Yet, under Reasons calm control,
He guides our vessel DER the flood.
No chief of any loyal State
| More honorcd, more beloved than he -
God grant that hc-hs health, restored,
Long life and happiness may see
And why should noble Gcary fail
To govern well the 'Kcys,one State ?"
His name the loyal millions hail
Hes earned each traitors deadly hate
He's honest, patriotic, just
lie has experience, knowledge. sense;
Like Andy Curtin, never yet
Was Gcary seen as'rjie tie fence!
When infant Kansas gasping lay,
Throtlcd by Slavery in her might,
How nobly, promptly Geary then
Forsook mere party for the right!
Honor to such they have to bear
| A double portion Of the hate
OF Ofsimplctons, who loudly swear
Twas Slavery made the nation great
How shall we carry Gcary, then,
| And save the honor OF the State ?
Work haIl And let tic Cqppoheads
Support Mcir own Mird cmdthte!
Their ships wreck-thcir sails are torn
They're drifting toward the rocky strand
They're bound to Davy's Locker! Wcll
Just let them go it-'loublC mannd !"
Our ships in trim-our compass right;
One Pilot for our craft will do!
But as the Cops are in distress,
We're willing they shall sail with two!

the CHOLERA IN BALTIMORE

ESPECIAL DESPATCH 10 THE EVENING TELEGRAPH. ]
BALTIMORE, October I.-There have been six
deaths from Asiatlc cholera here during the
past week, and fifteen to twenty cases. There
is no mistake in the malady now being here.
There was one death to-day and some new cases.
All cases heretofore reported resulted from the
imprudent eating of oysters, cucumbers, vege-
tables, and careless living. 1t creates much
excitement, and the weather is considered un-
favorable. The health authorities are very vigi-
lant and hope to check the disease. Its preva-
lence was kept secret. Several days ago the
steamer North Point, late from Havana, was
sent back to quarantine with cholera aboard.
