Lord and LADY Byron.

OF the many letters and communi
cations called out by the publication
of Mrs, Stoves "True Story" the
latest is card signed Fl. l. }" and
published in the Boston Daily Id
vsrtiser. The author says:
Mrs. Stowe may have fallen into
error as to dates. | trust she has,
and that, as the Nation asserts, Lady
Byron will be acquitted of any
knowledge of her husbands real
character until the moment of sepa-
ration. Seventeen years ago l heard
this fearful story of incest from an
Englishman of the very highest char
acter, mental and moral. He repeat
ed to me the facts communicated to
him by DR.. Lushington, and within
this year his narrative has been con-
firned by an Englishwoman who re-
ceived her information from Trelaw-
ney, Byron's comrade. The discus
sion now going on will probably
bring forth the proofs from those to
whom they have been intrusted.
One of them will be Byron's own
confession, II, l.

"JAs. a. BRIGGS, Esq "

MRs. Stowe must have seen, when
she read yesterdays papers, how just
was the judgment of those among her
friends who, like ourselves, deplOred
and condemned the publication of her
article On Lord and Lady Byron -
We learn by the cable that the solic-
itors OF Lady Byron's family have
addressed to the London papers a
protest against the article, as a gross
breach OF trust and confidence, incon-
sistent with Mrs. Stoves own recon-
.nendatiOn To Lady Byron, and y
violation of the express terms OF her
will. The solicitors declare that they
represent in this protest the views of
all Lady Byron's representatives and
descendants. Not much appears to
be said one way or the other about
the truth of the statement contained
in the article, except that with lawyer
like caution the solicitors emphasize
the fact that Mrs. Stowe adduces no
direct cyidence-nothing but recol
lectiOns Of conversation which took
place thirteen years ago, and impress
sions derived from manuscripts real
under great excitement. This must,
of course, he the judgment of every
reasonable person. Mrs. Stowe could
have no means OF proving such q
charge no one could take Lady By
rOn's belief or assertion as proof
Nothing could excuse tue publication
but imperative necessity and positive
proof Here there was neither the
one nor the other. It is clear from
the dispatch, that, while the general
verdict against the publication Is
strongly REINFORCED by this earnest
protest from the Representatives of
the lady whose cause Mrs. Stowe was
anxious to serve, the English public,
like ourselves, do not fad the story
in itself inherently incredible. The
Daily Ne1cs, we observe, says a word
in defence of Mrs. Stove, oOntending
that she has done nothing more than
make contribution to the yeraoity
of history. But there Is something
due to public deoency too; and we
deny that historical accuracy requires
the publication of all the Borgis and
Cenci scandals 10 the columns Of
family journals. Possibly tho defense
of Mrs. Stowe IL tue DAILY Ye,cs was
written, or at least Inspired, by Har
riet ar,ineau, devoted friend of
Lady BYRON. Bat it is to be remark
ed that in Miss Martineau's own
essay, written in vindication of
Lady Byron, she took care not to
introduce any revolving story or
scandalOus accusatiOn.-NeU York
Tribune, Sept 3.

GEN. ROSECRANs' LETTER,

On our first page will be found the
letter from this distinguishe d soldier,
declining the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor of this State
We notice that it does not appear TO
be very popular with our Democratic
exchanges. Whether our neighbor
of the Courier will lay it before his
readers or not we are unable to
say, but if he should not, we would
suggest to our readers that they lend
this copy of our paper to such Dem
ocrats as are not subscribers, that
they may have an opportunity to see
the views of their late candidate for
Governor. The greatest objection
to the letter, In our opinion, is its
great length. If it was well boiled
down it would not make bad Re-
publican platform. 1t will be seen
that it endorses impartial suffrage.
But Ohio Democracy is not fully
educated up to that great idea.-
They cannot let up on The ''darkey."
They would rather believe a lie and
be-defeated. ell. l- FEszE

Another GuanO DapoSit.

An important guanO deposit has
been discovered on AN estate called
Kukkers, belonging 10 Baron deToll,
in the neighborhood of Jewe, in
Esthonia, Russia. The bed was ac-
cidently found by some workmen
employed in draining the land, and
it is suppose by those who have
studied the matter that the layer in
question was formed so long ago as
in the early days before the Deluge.
The chief layer explored was found
at a distance of six feet below the
surface of the soil, and measures two
thousand feet long by ninety wide.
Its volume is calculated at $50, 900
cubic feet. 1t is also stated that
vast quantities OF ''kOprolites' may
be found throughout the whole
length of the shore, between Reval
and Jnwe, nearly one hundred and
fifty miles, and that rich deposits OF
A similar kind, exists in different
parts of Esthonia, which may prove
Of priceless benefit to the agriculture
Of the country.

LETTER FROM FOSTORIA.


IorrcSI I'Ontence JcteT>onian.
fosroRIA, Sept. s, 1869.
Did it rain any at "your house,
yesterday, Mr.. JEFEERsoNIAN? We
had very nice little rain here, but
not enough to satisfy ths wishes OF
our farmers who have hard plowins
to do yet. There is but very little
zheat sown around here yet. The
farmers are going to be little later
in commencing to SOW wheat this fall
than usual. l do not know why this
is so, unless the long protracted wet
weather in the spring threw them
about two weeks behind hand with
all their summers work.
Well, they can console themselves
with the fact that they can regain all
this lost time when they come to cut
up and husk their corn. as the crop
is not going to be hard to gather this
fall. Aud, yet, | saw a gentleman
the other day just from the West,
who told me that we were going to
have better corn than they will have
in either Wisconsin or Illinois, and
about as good as in Iowa.
The price OF wheat went up on
Monday TO Sl.25 per bushel, and Oh
Tuesday the town was full of wagons
loaded with the article. 1t is now
worth Sl.20.
Trade is improving some, but will
not be good until after ''seeding"
and the State Fair are over. A few
peaches have been sold on the streets
for $500 per bu5hel. This abundant
crop is going TO make a good trade
for our Stove and Tinware men in
sale of cans. +. II. Stewart & Bro.

200. and FraAk says it was not a very

"NARRAGANsErr, August Ii, 1869,
"MY DEAR Mr.. BIaGGs-Your
note of the 29lh, after = rather long
journey, reached me here yesterday.
II should he very glad to see you,
and talk with you on any subject but
politics.

A PART OF THE RECORD.

1t is well known that Geo II. Pen.
dleton was heartily in sympathy with
the rebels IN the memorable year of
1860, and. indeed, continued So to be
SO long as the rebellion continued
The following bit of Congressional
record will serve TO show where his
sympathies were at that time:
"During the closing days of 1850,
Major Robert Anderson, who was
stationed at Fort Monltrie, Charleston
Harbor, with small force, withdrew
to a place of greater security-Fort
Sumter. This act, which was nothing
more than act of common prudence,
was heartily approved, and Mr..
Adrian. of New jersey in Offering
the following resolution in the House
of Representatives at Wash ngton, on
the 9TH of January, 1861, but gave
expression to the feeling of the loyal
people of the nation
"Resotced, That we fully approve
of the bold and patriotic act of Major
Anderson in Withdrawing from Fort
Moultrie TO Fort Sumter. aud of the
determination OF the President to
maintain that fearless officer in his
present position; and that we support
the President in all constitutional
measures to enforce the laws and
preserve the Union'
A motion was male to suspend the
rules so that the resolution could be
acted upon Immediately. The mo
ton was sustained by a vote of I24
yeas to 63 nays S. 5. Cox and &.
ID. Martin, of Ohio; McCiernand and
Logan, of Illinois; Sickles, of New
York, and many other Democrats
voted with the Republicans for the
suspension of the rules, while Pendle-
ton and Va.landigham, OF Ohio, voted
in the negative with the Southern
members, many of whom We're alter
ward officers in the rebel army.
Il Congressional Globe, col. 81, page
27O, a..htt ts ..aa ..' !
When the vote was taken on the
adoption of the resolution, Mr.. PEN
dleton lodged. S. S Cox and other
Democrats voted with the majority
for the resolution, while Mr. ValIan-
digham and the Southern members
voted against it, congressional
Globe, col. 53, page 2sl.
By this action Mr.. Pendleton said
that he would not support ''the Presi-
dent (James Buchanan) in all consti-
tutional measures to enforce the laws
and preserve the Union"
Mr.. Pendleton remained consistent
with this record throughout the war.
In a speech in Congress, short time
after, he asks: "What force of arms
can compel State to do that which
she has agreed to do." Our four
years war did not answer this ques-
ton to Mr. PendIeton's satisfaction.
He regards everything that has been
done since the asking of this question
as unconstitutional, aud he only lacks
the power to render it all null and
void. Mr.. Pendleton's principles are
such that his success is a virtual
defeat of the policy pursued by the
Government in subduing the rebellion,
and none but those who shouted "no
COERCION" can consistently support
him.

HAMILTON, Sept. 3, 1869.
Hon. L. d. Campbell:
My DEAR SIR-Your favor of Au-
gust 81, giving ne notice OF the
times and places that you will dis
cuss political issues, and inviting me
to be present and participate, has
been received. / decline the invita-
ton for two reasons 1st. My life
has been given to business rather
than to speech-making-havlng nev-
er made political speech in my life,
and ! do not suppose | should be

it now. 9. AS i have lived all my
life in Butler county, and taken an
active part in all political campaigns
since l was voter, in such way as
to leave no doubt as to my position,
do not deem it necessary to go be-
lore tae people to explain. Perhaps,
however, you had better not with

VERMONT ELECTION

The gallant screen Mountain
State election came off last Tuesday
with the following glorious result:
BURLINGTON, Vt, Sept. s, '69.
The canvass in Vermont has been
one of the quietest known in many
years. Returns from about 33 towns,
casting about one fourth of the vote
of the State, gives Washburn, Repub-
lican, for Governor, 6,691; Heaton,
Democrat, 2,162. The same towns
last year gave Page, Republican,
8, ,932; Edwards, Democrat, 3,406.
This is a reduction of 33 per cent.
in the Republican vote, and nearly
81 per cent. in the Democratic vote.
General Washburne and the Repub-
lican State ticket are elected by from
$4,000 to 10000 majority. The Sen
ate is unanimously Republican. We
have a return of 46 Republicans and
4 Democrats elected to The House.
