Religions Summary.
The Texas Baptist State Conven-
tion, after an interesting meeting last
week in Galveston, adjourned. Its
next meeting will be in Brenham.
Rev. J. N. McCain has taken charge
of the Presbyterian Aranama High
School, at Goliad, Texas, and will
supply the palpit at Goliad.
The Little River Presbytery has re-
organized the Waco Cumberland Pres-
byterian congregation. Rev. W, M.
Dillard is the pastor.
, Four miles south of CorBicana a
Union camp meeting was recently
held by Methodist and ^Cumberland
Presbj terians. The Observer says
there were between forty and fifty
conversions. We learn that twenty
Acres of ground have been purchased
there, and that it is contemplated to
•erect a permanent stand and saiiable
cabins for the accommodations of vis*
itors yearly.
Bishop Marvin, after holding the
'Columbia Conference in Oregon, had
arrived in improved health at San
Francisco.
The Baltimore Episcopal methodist,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of
Dr. Bond, is one of the most intero
esting aod valued of our religions
•exchanges. Its tone is not so beligen*
ent as formerly, bat its articles are
equally readable, and to onr taste
more edifying.
For twenty years Bishop Paiaehas
had in preparation a "Life of Bishop
McKendre." It is about ready for
the pre-s.
' The MethodiBt papers now deny
that any frauds have bnen perpetrate
ed up the book concern in New
York. "• • i - . <
The venerable Bishop John Early,
of Lynchburg, Ya., is seriously and
perhaps dangerously ill at his resi-
dence in that city.
The annual exhibit of Rev. Dr.
Radford shows that the profits on the
business of the Southern Methodist
Publishing House amounts to over
fortynfour thousand dollars for the
past year.
In the Peter Cartwright Memorial
service some $20,000 were presented

write, celebrates the close of the semi
centennial of the service of Peter.
Cartwright as a presiding elder, the
sixty-fif'h of his ministry, and eighty-
fourth of his eventful life.
The Divinity Students'Missionary
Society,' connected with the . United
Presbyterian Church of Scotland, has
given 10,000 Bibles, Testaments and
portions of Scripture to the freedmen
, of the South.
Rev. Dr. Sears, agent of the Pea
body Fond, says that it was the
/ flailing of incomes and its discouraging
cffects that induced Mr. Peabody. to
increase his gift to the South. He
adds that that portion of their plan
which secures the vigorous co opera-
tion of the Southern people brought
him to the decision.
The Moravians in Greenland.—
The Mot avian mission in Greenland
is more than 130 years old. The ef-
fects of the Christian education .are
evidenced in the secular as well as the
xeiigious culture of the people. A
Greenlandic grammar, universal his*
iory, natural history, geography, are
among their work s; a dictionary is
ready for prioting, and a new transla-
tion of the Scriptures is almost com*
pleted. One af the churches contains
470 baptized persons.
Rev. W. M. Leftwitch, D. D., of the
Methodist Episcopal Chnrch South,
has a book in the press entitled ''Mar-
tyrdom in Missouri," and giving a bis

grange Texas. He was recognized in
his county as equal in ability as a
surgeon and physician to any in Tex*
as, and made the move to Houston in
the full tide of a large and lucrative
practice at Lagrange. In .1867 he en*
deared himself to the people of that
town by his untiring attention to them
during the terrible epidemic of yellow
fever which visited them unexpected*
ly, and at one time, when the fever
was at its worst, was the only physi-
cian left. He had before had experi*
ence in treating the disease, and his
success in 1867, under the circum-
stances under which the town was
placed, without a sufficiency of nurses,
was very remarkable.
The Doctor is a very modest man,
and while be is busy in fixing up his
furniture, we write this notice of him
without his knowlfedge^ and he will be
surprised to see it.
Letter from New York.
We were very glad to meet onr old
friend, Dr. W. C. McGowan, and to
^" welcome him as a citizen of Houston.
HO,several months ago, purchased the
Cabeen place, near the Tap Depot,
with the intention of removing to this
city* and has just arrived.
He purposes practicing his profes*
sion here during the balance of his
life, and a® a man, a citizen, a surgeon
and physician, he will prove a great
acquisition. ^ ,
We have known him long, having
jived neighbor to him for years at La*
New York, Sept. 30, '69.
Special Correspondence of the Tblegiuph .
In these "latter days," when ev-
ery thing moves rapidly, when all
the important news, both at home
and abroad, is transmitted through
the wires, it seems like labor lost to
communicate through the compara-
tively slow means—the . mail—and
hence, I hesitate. But there are many
things that cannot be said through the
wires, that can be,|by means of a letter.
Entertaining these views, I have de-
cided to lay before your many read-
ers, some of the facts connected with
the "Wall Street war," about which
you have doubtless learned much
through the wires. "War" was de
declared some days previous to the
fight, councils of war were held by
both contending parties, and the par-
ticuly -manner of fighting was agreed
upon. "Flats," "longs," "shorts,"
" squeezed," " corners" were talked
about and planned in private council.
Each party was thoroughly officered,
aid de camps designated, standard
bearejs chosen, fuglemen elected,
rank and file in line and fully
armed and equipped as the law di-
directs. A stillness pervades the lines,
waiting the word of command. Never
in Wall Street's history was there snch
an array of "bulls" and "bears"
Such growling, bellowing and pawing
of the earth was enough to frighten
common people out of their senses.
But we are living in days when npen
boast of being tough—a legitimate re
suit of the late war. (I think our
country would be in a much better
condition if we had fewer of those
rough and tough.
The day designated for the battle
was agreed upon. Regularly did the
"bulls" and " bears" march to. the
Gold Room—bolder, braver and more
sanguine men never stood upon that
floor. The battle flag wis hoisted,
and the fun began. One thirty was
bid for gold; 133, cool determination ;
135 is announced—sensation; 140,
lew takes hold of some; 145, conster-
nation ; 150, severe growling by the
bears—tbeyfcfear they are losing their
hold; 155, another "bull" bellows out
$50,000 wanted. Tremblinglin boots
—turning pale—the "bull" wily in
motion —terrible commotion—fainting
in the lines—carried away to private
rooms—res&ratives applied—threats
made by the " bears" to shoot the
" bulls"—great sensation—unsettled
condition in the ranks-Gold Exchange
Bank over crowded with business,
clerical force unequal to the task—
confusion of accounts—dark clonds
are in the hornzon—danger threatens
—leadera of the "ring" (bulls) are be*
hind the curtain working the wires,
showing themselves to be excellent
stage managers, who could not be
I with $40 000,000 new insue of stock
' on the Erie, and the earnings of that
road for the last ninety days. " Who
wonld not like to have an Erie at his
back to help him "bull" the gold mar
ket? Who could not make, a "corner"
with such a backer?
The war not over—returning to the
Gold Room it is difficult to hear any-
thing but the din of confusion, hur
rying to and fro, jostling in the room
—the lie is given, hard imputations,
that,s of life mad9, coffee and pistols
for a half dozen, all obligations of
promise cease, every man for him-
self and the devil for the whole. The
President's gavel pounds continually
upon the desk calling for order, but
none came. In this state of things,
Mr. "Speyer" mounts the speaker's
stand, head and shoulders above the
multitude, and says, "I am told that
it I made my appearance I would be
shot, now here I am, any man that
dare do it come forward and shoot."
None came, and he as the fugleman
of the "bulls" exult,ingly stands up
and sajs, "I want a $1,000,000 in gold
at 160," confusion confounded charac-
terises the crowd. No response, and
just as the "bulla" raised their horns
and were about to. give a crowning
bellow for victory over the "bears,"
in came a red hot shell from "Bout-
well," "I offor $4,000,000 of gold for
sale in this market!" Down went
gold to one point lower than where it
started twenty minutes before—132
And down went both "bull and bear"
with their faces to the ground and
their mouths in the dust. Rallying
from ttie shock they hunted their
holes like so many rats. Immediate-
ly there came a call for settlement—
balances were to be arranged—ac
counts to be settled. There were
frantic runs on the various broking
booses—settlements are demanded
and refused—uevere words exchang.
ed—blows given—claret flowed freely
in honor of theoccasioo—sheriffs and
police were called into requisition -
"bulls" and "bears" taken by the horns
and ears aod marched to the lonely
"Tombs." Ah, here came the rub—
to be or not to be a magnate of Wall
street, with six in hand on Fifth
Avenue, was the question. The pub-
lic bowels ol compassion are shut up,
no sympathy for "bulls" aod "bears,"
no fancy for those animals that are
j constantly disturbing the great busi-
ness and social interests of the coun-
try—no business to be a "hanimal''
and then you would not fight and be
locked up in "Tombs."
The fighting was mainly done with
the Tank and file. The generals took
carriages and retired to the bosoms of
their families or some other place
where they could not be found. Brave
men these! would have made good
generals ac the battle of "Ball" run.
This was not only a "Bull" but a
"Bear" run. This will for all time to
come take precedence over the origi-
nal "Bull Run." Its record can now
be placed in the nitches of the gold
room, made by Boutwell's shot. There
they can be seen and read by all who
may survive the battle. This num*
ber, however, will be few, for the
slaughter was very general. The
scene cannot be described—it is with-
out a parallel. Fortunes counted by
the millions—the results of a life's
labor—swept away in twenty min-
utes. Now that the smoke has cleaned
away, the battle field in full view,
the "squeezes" let up and the "cor-
ners" vacated, all on the "short" list,
we can see the results—hundreds of
men prostrated—dispair written upon
the faces of nearly all—some unwil-
ling to meet the mortification of de-
feat and poverty, Napoleonic Guard
like, threw themselves upon their
own swords—others shot themselves
—still others fell like dead men in the
Gold Room and in the streets, and
still others made crazy for life. This
city can now boast of having the
greatest excitement in Bulling and
Bearing that the world ever saw.
Bat the end is not yet. Much run-
ning to and fro seeking settlements —
life of many is still threatened—re-
volvers are being purchased—hunts
continued—J. Fisk, Jr., has a poase
of sheriffs about him al! the time.
They constitute his body guard—pay
per day, for each, $10, and $5 allowed
for expenses—Erie Railway will foot
the bill in the end—doubtless will be
charged to the running account, as it
justly belongs there, he, Fisk, Jr.,
having done some tall running—be
is on time; 60 miles an hour, inclu-
ding stops, is the revised time table
for that road. My opinion as an engi
neer in this is,that there are too mag?
short curves and heavy grades, and
the guage too wide to make time
with Commodore Yanderbilt's road
I think there will be some snatching
off pretty soon. I said that the end
was not yet. An injunction has been
served upon the Gold Bank, and also
upon several firms in Wall street and
vicinity. It is dog eat dog. Days
will elapse before we can get a corns/
plete record of the killed and wounds
ed. A new Gold Exchange has been
established, indeed I believe there are
three. The "Stock Exchange" is
selling gold regularly. Thus we have
a standard value for gold, and our
business men are able to get all that
they require in their business.
It would be very natural to inquire
what werb the effects of the," Wall
Street Muddle" upon business men,
and those not interested in gambling
in gold. I answer, that never beforn
in the history of New York, has the
business of Wall street had so little
effect upon individual business. Out
sifters looked upon the squabble as a
local one—-purely "Bull" and "Bear,"
a fight among the gamblers—and I
think we all'felt very much as the old
lady did when thought was going on
between her husband and a bear. She
said it was a terrible con test—a severe
engagement—nearly equalled, but she
did not Care much, which whipped-
So with the " bulls and bears." The
people outside of Wall street did not
care which whipped, but preferred
that the struggle woould continue
until both parties were vanquished.
A very bitter feeling has arisen
with nearly every business man and
even with common laborers- against
these gamblers—such I call them, and
unhesitatingly say their influence
upon the conutry is more 'demoraliz-
ing than the gambler at the faro bank.
Do not infer that I justify either, for
I wish that our Government would
take hold of this business with a
determined and unflinching hand
Should the excitement continue (as it
may) to the sitting of Congress, the
pressure from the business men of
the country will be so hard that a law
upon this point will be made. Whj
should the entire country be held and
kept in a state of uncertainty by a
miserable set of gamblers in New
York. These men claim to be busi-
ness men, gentlemen living in style
and elegance upon their gains illy got.
They resort to desperate means to
pluck the Unwary,' the merchant, the
business man, and even they violate
the thief law, to wit: that there is
honor among thieves. They wil}
cheat thiair own fraternity as was the
case last Friday. Best friends were
unhesitatingly slaughtered and left
to die on tl.e field.
In conclusion, I ask, where is the
remedy foi this evil ? Who will come
to the rescue ? Are the great busi
ness interests of otir mighty and grow
ing country to be at tha mercy of a
tew unscrupulous, dishonest and mis
erable gambiers'in Wall street? Ia
the value of real estate, merchandise,
products of our country, labor, and
indeed everything, to the value of
hundreds of millions of property, to
be controlled, tossed about, at the
will of the miserable men in Wall
street that can't controll but a few
millions? This is a strange state of
things and augurs bad upon the busi«
ness talent of our country ; an anarn-
oly, an inconsistency. Let us find
the remepy both in our will to resist
these unhappy influences, and not
rest until our law makers shall reach
the bottom of this evil. I hope that
Texas, who has four times the amount
of gold in her hands than the Wall
street gamblers have, will show to
the world that she is independent of
this association, and can controll her
own business.
Leaving this question, permit me
to say that the contractor tor the
Memphis and El Paso Railroad left
this city on Monday for the work.
His contract covers 150 miles, and
will be pushed rapidly. The compa-
ny have plenty of money.

Washington, Oct. 8—It is stated
on excellent authority that the Cabi
net has determined to demand for
Americans captured in Cuba the same
treatment accorded to Fenians in Ire
land. They shall have fair trial and
be represented and defended by
American counsel.
Washington^ Oct. 8—Gen. Ames
telegraphed to Grant to day pronounc-
ing the dispatch from Yicksburg, rep-
resenting that he will not permit a
fair election in Mississippi, false in
every respect. He used no snch lan-
guage as is attributed to him.
In the Supreme Court, Paschal
called attention to the decree case of
Texas vs. White & Childs, et als-, and
moved for final decree against Har
denberg. Evarts moved for leave to
take further eveidence to show that
Comptroller Taylor was mistaken as
to the trust which he iholds in lieu of
the bonds. After some discussion of
Mr. Evart's motion ]by Messrs, Evarts
and Carlile tor, and Paschal and Mer-
rick against the motion, the Court re*
served its decision until Monday
morning.
. This evening's Times says :
"We learn on undoubted authority
that the steamship Lillian arrived at
Cedar Keys in time, took on board
her freight and passengers and sailed
without being molested. Parties in
search of her came too late.
Washington, Oct 9—Public busi-
ness suspended until Monday in honor
of Pierce.
Paris, Oct. 9—Father Hyacinthe
has gone to the United States.
Chicago, Oct. 9—Farragut died of

Baltimore, Oct. 9—Mr. Davis ar-
rived here.
_ A Miss Lucy Lee advertises in a Missis*,
sippi paper that she "is of good birth and
edacation, and is willing to marry an editor,
believing herself able to support one.
It now appears that it is Gwin, Jr., and
not the old man who wants to go to the Sen-
ate from California, but hp "aint gwine."
Now la the Time
To repair the inroads made upon the physical
strength by the heated term whioh has oloeed with
September. The vitality thai has been oozing through
the porea in the form of perspiration, for the last three
months, requires to be replaced, as a preparative to
the cold season whioh makes suoh dieastroos havoc
with relaxed and untoned systems. The reserve of"
vigor with whioh the stoutest man oommenoes the
Summer campaign is drained out of him at its close,
and unless by some means he acquires a new stock
of a colder season, he may droop and wither like the
falling leaves whose life-juices are exhausted. If it
is thus wit h the strong, how much more perilous is
the coid tion of the weak and ailing. Their reason
must suggest to them, more forcibly than these print,
ed worls, the necessity for invigoratUm, and the
world having d ecided, after an experience of almost
a quarter of a century, that HOSTETTKR'S STOM-
ACH BITTiSRS embrace suoh restorative properties
as are not possessed by any other tonic and itera-
tive preparation in existence. The importance of
reporting^6 .tbat great Ekhovatsb and Bksuhtor
of th* hsuS k.ohikb, at this critical season is as
obvious as the light of day. Let all who desire to
esoape an attaCk of chills and fever, bilious remittent
