Governor of Tenn." Kooxville, Aug. 17, I860. For the PittstoB Gazette. The Irish Vote." Mil Editor There seems at present a good deal of anxiety manifested among a certain party in reference to the Irish vote hence the jft repeated question, how will the fenians vote thie fall Now it Seems to lue that there ought to be no doubt in regard to this question. What is the great question that has for a generation past, and is now absorbing tne attention of almost every Irishman in the land.

For what I ssk, are tens of thousand of Irishmen, both at home and abroad ready at any moment to respond to the trumpet's blast and sprinkle their blood upon the altar of their country Why all this, I ask The answer is the redemption of the God given rights of their down trodden countrymen. Inspired by tliat patriotic and holy feeling which inspires every true man, they count not their lines dear unto them, so that they may be the means of saving their country. Now can it be that intelligent, true Irishmen, prompted by such feelings and notions as these, standing as they do upon the broad platform that demands manhood and equal rights for their own kinsmen will, this fall lend their aid and sympathy to a party of men whose very nature it is to grind their bloody feet on the necks of the unfortunate and oppressed I ask again, is it possible I trust not If the Fenian Brotherhood would gain the sympathy of all good men in behalf of their own sacred cause of lifting up their own down trodden countrymen, they must be found in sympathy themselves with the men whose honest efforts are put forth to raise all men of every nation, kindred and tongue under the heavens to the common standard of manhood. And I am not without a hope that intelligent, true Irishmen will adopt this view of it and be controlled by it in our coming elections. That this will be the view taken, 1 am encouraged to hope from a letter written by an Irishman, to the editor of the "Irish Press," in which be say Ireland is not the only country in the world, neither is the Irish the only people in creation.

I believe what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If liberty is good for Ireland and the Irish it ought to be good for other countries and people and the Irish, if sincere, would advocate it everywhere and for everybody. If they do not advocate liberty for all men of all cobr, then I cannot help regarding them as insincere, or dishonest I have seen the Irish and their leaders laboring hard for years in this country to bind more securely the chaines that fettered the limbs of a portion of the huuvm family nearly as large as themselves. Now how can I help regarding you and the Irish as mean and selfish, since you refuse to others what you demand for yourselves, hile you are helping to bind the chains upon others on cannot, I assure you, expect fur the cause of Ireland, the sym pathy of the world nor for your efforts in her behalf the blessing of God till you become more consistent in your conduct, and more i ust towards others. When you write on your Irish flng "Liberty for all men, of all tongues, of all claims, and of all completions then you nny expect uio and others like me, if not as soldiers, at last as chaplains to cin and attend to the sick and wounded."

II. Jenkins Seplember 1806. Culver Pbsn Co. The New York Tri bune of the 1st hist, says: The creditors of Culver, I'enn and V. Culver met to.

day at Franklin, and arranged for the trans fer of the Reno property and the railroad to Pitholc to creditors in New York who are heavy capitalists. The road will be rapidly pushed to qompietion, and prompt measures adopted to develop the oil territory here. There is now a strong current of public sym pathy in favor of Mr. C. V.

Culver. The exhibit of the assets and liabilities prove that fhey have been strictly honorblo in all their business transactions. Mr. Culver's true friends have not for a moment doubted his in tegrity financial ability, lie has done a great amount of good service in developing the business recourses of tbe oil regions, and the suspension of the firm was a heavy blow to the petroleum interests A Method or Extinouisiiiso Fikes. In 1804 a coal mine in Scotland, which could not be by water cought fire.

It burned for thirty years baffling all the efforts made to extinguish it until finally, in 1834, an emi nent engineer, Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney, un dertook the task of putting it out He covered all the openings in the mine, leaving only two holes, into one of which he forced steam, mingled with the products of the combustion of coke fire, which generated impure carbonic acid and nitrogen. In six weeks the fire was extinguished, and then a new difficulty presented itself how to cool the heated mine so that when fresh air was readmitted combus tion would not again begin. This was, bow ever, effected by mixing the spray of water with the jet of suffocating gas. A process like this will extinguish any fire, when the air can be kept out of burning buildings, and if the gas is well purified, it will not soil goods that may be contained in there.

All person! indebted to said estate are requested to make payment immediately and those having claims will present them duly authenticated for settlement.

JAMES McCAWLEY, Administrator. Aug 2, 1806, Ot dress to tbe peoMe of New Orleans, being to i feeble to speak in public. It contains a bisto ry of tbe recent extra session of tbe Legislature, and tbe attstnpt to defeat the Constitu tkmalal Amendment, and closely reviews the course of tbe 1 resident, lie believes Mr. Johnson a traitor, and gives the following reasons: Because he turning loyal men out of office by tbonnndk to make room for rebels and trailers. Because he is appointing Tennessee Legislative bolters to office as a reward for their revolutionary and villainous conduct Because be betrayed the Breckinridge bemoc racy after working.

with and fur ui np to the day on which Lincoln was first elected. Because he betrayed tbe loval North after they had elected biin to the office of Vice President Because he has betrayed the downtrodden and unoflending negro, trying again to sell him into bondage after promising tet be his Moses. Because he uas betrayed the Fenians to the British (government after selling them guns and ammunition, and impressing their minds with the belief that he was their friend. And last, but not least, because he has never been true to any one but Andrew Johnson. Brownlow then apologizes for putting Johnson in nomination for the Vice Presidency; at Baltimore, especially that he acted in accordance with the wishes of the Tennessee delegation, and says "Better would it have been for the cause of Republican Liberty, if the Tennessee delegation, including the writer, had all been in a Rebel prison.

South, rather than in the Baltimore Convention, helping to place Johnson in a position where he, when hit friends should murder tbe patriot Lincoln, should become President of these United States." He declares it the settled determination of Northern and Southern traitors to involve the country in another war; that they will make an attempt to force the Rebels into Congress the occasion for this, and warns the South of the awful consequences that will follow. He next draws a picture of the great danger to which the loyal men of Tennessee arc still exposed, but enumerates, too, their sources of encouragement, and says "Having no hope of protection from the President, in the event of an attack from a Rebel mob, I shall look with confidence to the North Western States to come to our rescue, as soon as attacked by the minions of Jeff. Davis and Andrew Johnson. And if further developments seem to justify it, I will call out the loyal militia of the State, and call upon the Legislature to arm and equip them. We must and will meet these traitors, and sustain the Governments, State and National, or fall with our faces to the foe "Who are most bitterly opposscd to the present Radical Congress Jeff.

Davis dead out against it Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, Bragg, Kirby Smith, and all the whipped Generals, Colonels and Captains in the late rebel army are against it. Alexander II. Stephens, ex Rebel Congressmen, and Rebel legislators are against it. Andrew Johnson and all his Rebel Democratic supporters are against it The men in the South ho conscripted Union men, who burned down Union dwellings, robbed Union families of all they had, and made war hideous along our borders, are against it The sneaking, hissing Northern Copperhead, who creeps after Southern Rebels for the sake of social position or pecuniary reward, is against it The Northern and Southern Democracy, who are still bent upon the overthrow of the Government and the restoration of Slavery, are against it.

Every guerrilla chief, highway robber and whisky bloat of the Rebel army is against it. Every traitor who edited a Rebel paper during the war, and at its breaking out, is against it. "Who are in favor of the Radical Congress, and its bold and patriotic course Every radical lover of his country. North and South, is in favor of it Every unconditional Union man, who stands by his country in opposition to another war, is in favor of it Every man who prefers the loss of the negro to that of the Union, is in favor of it Every mother who has lost a son every wife that has given her husband every one who visits the sacred graves tha? lie all over the land, and on every line of inarch and every one who in tears and sorrow think oud speak of their losses, and with our brave at.d patriotic Congress, and will not be turned against that body, as it is now the only hope of the country. Every clergyman, and every goo man in the churches, who believes that we hive had strife enough and wish no more demoralization, stands by Congress, and prays fur its success and preservation.

Every man in and out of the church, who thinks more of law and order, and of our Government, than he does of office and spoils, is for Congress. Every man not in the Johnson Rebel Conspiracy to bring on another rebellion, is for Congress, and will stand by that body to the last." With regard to the intentions of Rebels if they obtain power he writes this warning "I feel called upon to warn the honest, loyal masses, against a matured scheme of Johnson Copperhead leaders to have the Government pay them for all the negroes they lost by the war. Not more than one in ten of the loyal men, South, ever owned any slaves or desired to own them, and it would be downright robbery to tax nine laboring men to pay for the slaves of one gentleman. A direct tax is the only mode by which the Government can pay for the emancipated slaves and it is better that one loyal slave owner suffer than that nine honest laborers, equally loyal, suffer to make his losses good. "Most of the men now in the Copperhead ranks in the South, are men who expect, when the Southern States are represented in Con gress, that they will be compensated for their negroes.

Not a few of them think that they will even get Slavery restored. Our people can afford to pay a direct tax to liquidate the war debt, through a period of several years, but tax them to pay for 4,000,000 of slaves, owned by a small number of nabobs and or iginal secessionists, and they will not get through with tax paying in a life time. "To the Union masses, the honest working voters, I say in all candor, watch the men who advocate this paying for their lost negroes. If the Government will tax the slave owners alone to pay tor the negroes, I go for it, but I shall never consent to tax men to pay for negroes who never owned any, and never desired to own any. Slaveholders got up the big dance in 1861 they continued the frolic for four years and they are the very men to pay the fiddler The document closes as follows "In the address I have used great plainness of speech, and for the reasons, first that I desired and intended to be understood and next because this is no time for putting forth an uncertain sound.

I have desired to act in harmony with the President so has the great Union party of the country, the Legislature of the State, and Congress, as I took occasion to write him about the beginning of this year. I hope he may publish this short letter. I have resolved that the President should not call a Grayback Convention at Philadelphia a Convention to be composed of office holding Republicans, of delegates from the party that opposed the war, and of delegates from the Rebel Congress and the Rebel armies, and out of these materials organize a Johnson Democratic Rebel party, and turn me over to it, to be dictated to and controlled by the men who fought four years to de stoy the country. This is the pass to which we bave come at last and those who are willing that a faithless President shall transfer them to his new party organization, can go, and may joy go with them. Divide and subdivide as it's may, tliere can be but two parties to this country a disloyal apd a loyal party.

Choose ye between these parties, i whose only issue is, whether this State and nation are to be governed by loyal or disloyal men. 3. RICBART. Uitf. F1TTSTON HURSDAY, SEPT.

Bepublican County Convention. Pursuant to the call of the Standing Com littee, tbe Contention assembled at the Court louse in TVilkcsBarre, at 15 o'clock on uesday last. Thomas Dickson, of Scranton, as chosen President, R. F. Russri, Hazle jti, and H.

S. Doran, Vice Presidents, and esotne O. Miller, li. W. Palmer, and F.

A. randall, Secretaries. Up to the time of the axreinbling of the invention the claims of Messrs. Strong, tetcbaro. Cony, and MoXair mere being ig rously urged by their respective friends, fbile many, and particularly Delegates from ranton and Wilkes Barre, were anxious hat all four should withdraw arid nominate jr.

James Archbald, of Scranton by acclama ion. At the opening of the Convention, after inner, the name of Mr. Ketcham was with Irawn Lewis Pugh. R. K.

Russel then iihdrew the name of Mr. McXair, and Mr. withdrew his own name. The names James Archbald and Theodore Strong then emained before the' Convention, Mr. Arch aid receiving on the first ballot 50 votes and Ir.

Strong 35. The Convention declared the omination unanimous. A number of ger.tlemen were nominated for ssembly, the choice tailing upon J. M. Poor, if Carbondale, Edward Hermans, of Hyde ark and lV.

H. Taggart, of Hazleton, the liter gentleman being nominated by acclatna ion. Mr. F. A.

Thompson, of this place, was ne of the nominees for Representative, and jceived on tbe first and second bnllot 27 and 1 votes respectively. When we consider that le highest number of votes cast for either of is competitors was but 31, his strength in ie convention must be highly gratifying to imself and friends. After the second ballot, fter thanking his friends for their kindness, r. Thompson withdrew his name. Col.

Jacob Rice, of Dallas, was chosen for ecoider, Mr. Jacob Rertles and John U. both receiving respectable votes. Henry Gorden, of Shickshinny, received le nomination for Register. Mr.

L. B. Green, of Benton, was nominated Commissioner, ar.d John Sharps, of Wyoming, for Auditor. The nominations having been completed, le Committee on Resolutions reported a set very patriotic resolves, which we shall pub jh next week. Mr.

Strong being then loudly called for, iadc a short but very eloquent, patriotic id comprehensive speech. He evinced his irdial acquiescence in the results of the Condition and expressed in a flittering manner is acknowledgments to the many friends who id given him such a cordial and steadfast ipport Mr. Ketcham having been sent for, followed Ir. Strong, in what we arc wont to consider le of the most feeling and forcible speeches, hich we have ever listened to in Luzerne ounty. He evinced his determination to hold and work with his might for the lecess of the ticket nominated and express 1 a firm belief that Mr.

Archbald would be nt to Congress by an overwhelming majority We believe no one will undertake to say lat a more available nomination than Mr. could have been made. He is per aps more identified with the great improve letvts of this valley than any other man in it, nd is loved and resectcd by the laboring lass to an extent that no other man is, and is nomination will call forth an enthusiasm luch like that manifested for the late lament CoL Scranton. We have not time in this issue to Fay all 'e desire to say in regard to the ticket, but fill alude to ir from time to timo, and trust hat all will now go to work with a firm do ermination to gain a decisive victory in October. The Work Before Us The political campaign just commenced promises to be one of unusal interest.

The ssues which have convulsed the country for the past five year, will come up again at the polls in October, under a new name and in a new form, but ever the same in essence and purposes. The contending parties have chang ed base somewhat, but from the new line each party is marshaling the same forces to take the same citidols an overcome the same enemy. The party that stood by the nation when armed treason menaced the national life, now Elands pledged to support the nation when treason attempts to gain by wiles and strate gems, what it lost in the appeal to arms. The Republican party presents a bold front, and taking the same ground which the party has occupied since the commencement of the rebellion, contends for the overthrow of traitors, and refuses to put political power into the hands of those who basely betrayed the pation and spent their best efforts in attempts to overthrow the goverment It is pledged to make treason odious and loyalty honorable, that the terrible lesson of the war may not be lost to the present and future ages. The Republicans insist upon giving true men the high places in the govrenment to the utter exclusion of the rebel leaders and their sympathizers.

The opposition party, call it Copperhead, Copper Johnson, or what you will, stands upon the same platform which at Chicago in 1864, pronounced the war a failure. Tbe same purpose, the same object, and the same Fpir jt which prompted that faction to declare war against rebellion a failure, and that our Government ought humbly to ask the pardon of the rebels for fighting against them and interrupting their innocent diversion, now prompts that demented faction to clamor for a restoration policy which will overlook the crimes of the leading rebels and restore them to high positions of honor and trust, which they left to wage war against our government, lliey javo changed base slightly, but still their dar.

9, I860, Copper faction is plavinr with all sorts of comical variations is iterated and re iterated, once and again, in all its phrases, but lfy policy can be summed np in a few words "The war nr and the late rebels hart seem the error uf their raM, hare repented iff thehr JUt sins, find become good I'ntm Mr. the ulacAoi at good fait acknowledge that the goremment hasaright to be and that then users wrong Jufhttng againt it therefore we ought tmmedtatelu entrust them with the chief place in the government. Pardoashoujd be granUdtooti the leader, and that should bo treated an thty Ai natmr rebelled." Every assumption upon a llien these gentlemen reason and act, is totally and radically false. Tbe rebel Lee was forced to lay down his arms, and would to day call upon his captains to fight against the government again, could he see a single hope of success in attempting to over throw it. There is not a single leading rebel that has acknowledged his error.

They consider that they were unfortunate in not overthrowing the government not that they were guilty of a grave crime. Jeff Davis pioposes to show that be is innocent of treason, not to repent. Lee don't think he has ever levid war against the United States, but that he has been basely slandered. They presist both by words, and by actions which speak more plainly than words, in asserting that tbe Southern rebels were fighting in a holy cause, and that our brave North ero'soldiers were a set of hired ruffiains and mercenary bandits. It would hardly be credited that men in the position of the leading rebels could take on such assuptions, and we would be slow to believe it possible, did not every mail come to us from tbe South filled with coruOrmations of tbe fact.

The war against tbe Union army has been changed to a war of extermination against the loyal men of the South and tbe Freedmen. Tbe innocent diversion of starving our soldiers in Andersonville, Salsbury and Liby prison was cut short by our brave soldiers, but the victims of the implacable wrath and bitter resentment of the rebel leaders, are now selected from the noble few who remained true to the government at a sacrifice of all but life, and the freedmen who fought in the Union army. In spirit and in truth tbe rebel leaders are no more worthy of confidence now, than when they were fighting in the confederate ranks. It is the loyal North that needs to repent, according to their ideas, and they prattle as glibly about the constitution and their right, as if they had not for Ceiled all their rights by open and armed rebellion. Under ordinary ci rcumstances, treason, after being defeated in the field, would be silent fur a time and it would have been so in our case had President Johnson been true to the nation.

In 186(1, a large number of men high in office both civil and military, left their posts of honor and trust, and with the sol emn oath to support the government upon their lips, joined hands with the enemies of our government, and conspired to overthrow it and yet our government still lives. To day our Chief Magistrate is linked arm in arm with these red banded, Judas hearted traitors, and with the oath to support and defend the government still fresh in bis memory, be is attempting to restore these same conspirators to the very positions which they left in 1860, to join the rebellion and yet our government will triumph and traitors find their proper places at last. In the contest which Andrew Johnson has forced upon the Republican party, no sane man, can mistake the issue. Shall we support "My policy'' and basely belie every principle for which the nation so nobly contended in the second revolution, and allow the very men who conspired to overthrow the government by force of arms and failed, to work out their base purposes by making them legislators, or shall we as in 1864, say by our words and our votes, Treason is a chime AND HOST BB MADE OuIOl'S. In TBE KE CON STKL'CTIOH OF OUR GOVERNMENT TBAITOBS Hl'ST TAKE A BACK SEAT How the Great West will Vote.

The Republican State Committee of Ohio promise a Union majority in the Western States of $200,000. The Chicago Tribune gives the following estimate, which is the lowest that any well posted politician will make. The probabilities are that the actual Republican majority will far exceed these figures Majorities. Ohio for the Congressional policy 40,000 Indiana, 35,000 Illinois, 45,000 Michigan, 17,000 Wisconsin," 15,000 Iowa, 25.000 Missouri, 10,000 Minnesota, 6,000 Kansas, 1Q000 Aggregate majority 203,000 These returns form an admissible subject for the contemplation of the Johnson Democracy. We suggest they put these figures in their hats, and compare them with the result If the estimate proves too large, certain it is that every rebel and traitor in the country will rejoice.

Rebel Bonos is Europe, Late advices from Europe state that the effect of the Philadelphia Convention has been to increase the price of the hitherto worthless Confederate Bonds in Europe. This is a natural result The policy of Mr. Johnson has recently been so widely at variance with his former professions that European holders of Rebel Bunds think it now quite possible that President Johnson and his advisers may be led to an acknowledgment of the rebel debt. It they do this all must at once see that the value of Kinds of United States secureties must at once go down to less thar, half their present value. This is a fact worth remembering as bearing upon the coming election.

Let us keep con gress as strongly Republican as possible and thus avert so disastrous a blow to tbe national credit Hbarts Contbst, Sept 1866.
