An AboIitionist Photographed.

The annexed passage, by DR., Holland
one of the editors of the Springfield (Mass. $
Redubiica7, very aptly describes that clas:
of men, unfortunately for the peace and
welfare of society, numerous enough in our
country to direct the counsels of power for
the time being, How many in our commu .
nifty have sat for the picture?
"Fhe whole time of professional agitntors
and miscalled reformers are men of one idea,
That these men do good, som etimes direct
ly, and frequently indirectly, 1 do not deny !;
and it is equllly evident that they do a
great deal of harm, the worst perhaps falls
upon themselves, Like the charge of a
cannon, they do damage to an enemy's
Notifications. but they burn up the powder
there is in them and lose the ball, Like
blind old Sampson, they may PROSTATE the
pillows of great wrong, but they crush
themselves and the Philistines together,
The greatest and truest reformer that ever
lived was Jesus Christ, but ah! the differ
ence between His broad aims, universal
sympathies, and overlooking love, aud the
malignant spirit of thbse who angrily beat
themselves to death b5fore an Instituted
wrongl As an illustration, look at those
who have been the prominent agitators of
the slavery question in this country for the
last twenty years.-Are they men of char
ity? Are they christian men? Is not invec-
tive the chosen aud accustomed language
of their lips? Do yos they follow those
against whom they have opposed them
selves, whether for good cause or otherwise.
into their graves with fendish lust of cru
city, and do they not delight to trample
upon great names aud sacred memories?
Are they men whom we love? teachers
of liberation. are they not the most in toler-
ant of all men living? Deuouncers of big
otry, are they not the most fiercely bigoted
of any men we have? Preachers of love
and good gill to men, do they not use more
forcibly than any other class the power of
words to wound and poison human sensi--
bilities?n

SCARCITY OF LABOR IN LoU1sIANA-The
New Orleans Bee says that there is great
scarcity of labor on the sugar plantations,
and it is estimated that in Plaquemines
Parish the loss OF the planters, owing to
this want of labor, will not be less than ten
or fifteen thousand egsheads.-New York
Post, Republican
The want oflabor is owing to the fact
that the free negroes whom our army has
liberated will not work. 1t is the old story
Of Emancipation over again.-HoEn1es Coz

Tecnmseh,s EIonuence.

Claibourne, in his life of Gen. Samue
Dale, says:
| l have heard many great orators, but
never saw one with the vocal powers o.
Tecumseh or the same command of the
muscles of his face. Had been deaf, the
play OF his countenance would have told
me what he said. It's effect upon a wild
supersttious, untutered and warlike assem-
blage may be conceived. Not word was
said, but stern warriors, the 'stoics of the
woods shook with emotion, and thous-
and tomahawks were brandished in the air.
Even the "Big Warrior who had been
true to the whites during the war, was, for
the moment, visibly affected and more than
once l saw his huge hands clutch spasmod-
lcally the handle of his knife.-All this was
the effect Of delivery, for although the
mother of Tecumseh was Creek, aud he
was familiar with the language, he spoke
in the Northern dialect, and his speech was
aiterward interpreted by an Indian liDguist
to the assembly. No one has or can do
his speech full justice, but [ will repeat
the substance of what he said, and almost
his very words.
TECUMsEHs SPEECH.
In defiance of the white warriors Of Ohio
and Kentucky, have travelled all through
their settlem ents, once our favorite hunt
ing ground. No war-boop was sounded
but there is blood on our knives. The pale
faces felt the blow, but know not whence
it came.
Accused be the race that has seized our
warriors. Our fathers, from their tombs,
reproach us as slaves and towards. 1 hear
them now in the wailing winds.
The Muscogee was once mighty peo-
pie. The Georgians trembled at your war
ha Of tr;L1
distant lakes, sung the great deeds of your
warriors, and sighed for their embrace.
Now your blood is very white-your tom.
ahawks have no edge-your bows and ar
rows, are with your fathers. OH Muscogee,
brethren of my mothers, brush from your
eyeiids the sleep of slavery-once more
strike for vengeance, once more for your
country. The spirits of the mighty dead
complain. The tears drop from the weep
ing skies.
Let the white race perish.
They seize your land, they corrupt your
women-they trample on the ashes of your
dead!
Back. whence they came, upon trail of
blood they must be driven.
Back! back, ay, into the great waters
whose accursed waves brought then to our
shores!
Burn their dwellings! Destroy their
stockl Slay their wives aud their children!
The red man owns the country and the pale
faces can never enjoy i'll
War now! War forever! War upon the
living! War upon the dead! Dig their
corpses from their graves! our country
gives no rest to the white mans bones,
All the tribes of the North are dancing
the war dance, Two mighty warriors
across the seas will send US arms,
Tecumseh will soon return to his own
My prophets shall tarry with
you, They will stand between you and
the bullets of your enemy, When the
white man approaches you, the yawning
earth shall swallow him up,
Soon you shall see my arm of fire stretched
athwart the sky, l will stamp my foot at
and the very earth shall shake,

The commander of the Mackerel Brigade
has caused the following general order, No.
70 902, to be pubished:
HEADQUARTERS MAoKEaEL BRIGADE,
September 25, 1868.
The desertion of some of the most light
headed of this brigade, makes it necessary
to suspend the privilege of the habeas cor
pus throughout the entire dominion of the
Accomac. ANY person hereafter caught
having a body will be imprisoned, and no
questions asked. This is intended to apply
only to soldiers, military m en-, officers, citi-
zens generally, aud other persons. All
others, including women and whskey, are
allowed to have as muoh body as ever, and
more too. The quiet of Paris demands
hat every soldier, his heirs, executors aud
assigns, also his widows. should 60 without
pay or rations until further notice; as the
Pay master General of the brigade has been
very unlucky at faro of late, it is necessary
that he should be allowed to retain suffi-
cient funds to get even. The enemy are
demoralized; once more into the breeches
and Sumpter and Chattanooga are ours.
Plans are forming to establish moral reform
societies in all Southern towns except
Richmond and Charleston. They don't
deserve them. My children, love you
in short, sharp, decisive style.

For the Bulletin.
To One Who Will Understand.

Yes: the farewell word is uttered,
All those happy hopes are DER,
Memory's dearest chords are broken,
They can gladden. me no more;
Then how vain are all the throbbings
That are shrouded in sigh;
Vainer still, the thought cherished,
'Twould grow brighter, by and by.
Soon, how soon, each token perished,
With the love which once was mine,
While in anxious dreams I fancied, still
clasped that hand of thine;
Or heard the voice whose accents
Once the loneliest hour could cheer;
Sweetest face round friendships altar,
Sweetest smile to memory dearl
Never morel those smiles will greet me
All ofjoy has turned to pain;
Do not lid me hope, 'twere better
That we should not meet again;
For full we'll know thou'lt smother
Pledges registered on high
Thou wilt seek to Danish sorrow,
When some other form is nigh.
But ahi one little image, will be
Present day and night;
One little face will tell thee, of the
Days which once were bright;
Thou wilt seek in vain to Danish
What must oft remind of me,
AS those little hands are folded,
And that face looks up to thee.
OH do not like sDcA parting,
Much wish it were not so;
Not ray of comfort waited,
Or kiss before go;
And I shudder now to write them,
Words each heart throb sorely try,
AS l hear the cherries echo, of
A sad and last good bye!

A speaker at recent m Getting in Penn
sylvania, presented to his audience the fol-
lowing picture of the society produced by
the war:
"Grief may shed its bitter tear in the si-
lent cham Der, poverty may starve in its hi
dug place. the patriot may mourn, but no
grief nor fear nor feeling seems to dwell in
the public mind or touch the public heart,
This year has been wild with fashion. hi
lari:y and show, Our Northern cities
eclipse the past in gorgeous dissipation;
more diamonds fash in the glare of the
gay saloon; dinners balls and masquerades
in ostentation and luxuriance, turn mid
night into day; prancing steeds and gaudy
equipages carry light headed ioveliness
through all the drives of fashion-stores
where Jewels, pearls and precious stones,
and the rich goods of Europe and Asia are
have double sales, though gold touches a
premium of seventy per cent, specu lators
in stocks make fortunes in a day, palatial
stores and marble dwellings are springing
from the earth on every side; resorts of
amusement were never so numerous and
never so crnwded; prize-6ghts excite for a
time more interest than the battles of the
Republic; thousands of dollars are staked
on the favorite of the race; gambling hells
are wide open to entice to inramv the young;
crime is fearfully on the increase; the law
grows impotent and men who have by the
basest means defrauded the laborer, the
widow and orphans mold high their heads,
and go unwhipped of justice, .1

Mrs. Walles's Meg Mersiles was all but per-
feet in art and true to nature. Indeed, 1t would
be difficult to point out how her perscnation
of the wierd old Meg could be improved in
any essential particular. Mr. Ellsfer's Dom
iuie Sampson was p.ro.d'i-g-i-o-u's, and elicit

were handsomely sustained.
Mrs. Waller will reappear at the Atheneum
tomorrow (Monday) night as Marina' the
Duchess of MALI. In this thrilling tragedy
she eyinces In wonderful and striking manner
her power of wholly loaing herself in the char
acter she represents, and possessing for the
time being another soul and other faculties and
feelings than those of her ordinary state. Hel
