BosToN, Oct. II, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR AT the annual democratic
"Rehearsal" in your city, early in September,
you will remember the gigantic DrawcanSr
who staggered over the stage, in actual life,
albeit with a sick arm and dropping shoulder,
but nevertheless performing his gaseous part
with even more sound and fury than Draw
cansi'rs part has been performed in any thea
tire in christcndom since the "Rehearsar was
first put upon the stage. You remember how
he stamped and foamed. He said nothing, to
be sure, but threatened and promised much.
"As soon" said he, in substance las l can
recover my power OF speech, now untortu-
nately in allegiance by reason Of lame arm,
will speak without ifs or butts, and so loudas
to be heard from Passamaquoddy bay 20 Yu-
catan."
These are rot the precise words of the dis
tinguished judge, but his meaning, put, per-
haps, in clearer phrases; for the language of
buster and passion, though vehement, is new
er especially lucid, and this expectoration of
the great democratic orator was not an ex-
ception to this rule. Many weeks have come
and gone since the great orator thus ''thun-
dered in the index and yet no speech has
been heard. The Boston papers have become
tired of waiting and grow clamorous for the
speech. The exclusive purpose Of this letter
is to second and enforce that call. | feel an
interest in Judge Abbott. l am free soiler
from the start" As Judge Abbott was chair
man of the free soil district committee in 1913
in MddlcSex and Essex, when he was violent
ly opposed to Gen. Cass on account of his
pro slavery tendencies, l am anxious to get
his opinions on the present crisis. l trust
speedy announcements will be made for the
delivery of that speech.
We are all anxious to hear 1t in this neigh
borhood, especially those of us who served
with the judge in the great Van Buren, cru
SADIE of 1913. The Post, perceive, recently
asserted that the judge had never voted any
attempting to obscure that brilliant page in his
political life, when, disguised at the servilty
of his party on the question of slavery, he
served so efficiently in the ranks OF the ultra
friends of freedom. He ought to make
speech, if for no other purpose to repel this
attempted dishOnor of the Post, saying moth
lag Of his promise or threat to speak, and the
untold disappointment he will cause if he fail
to carry out his sulphurous manifesto so
menacingly put forth. But the speech! the
speech! Let us have il at once.

The Battle of Blue Spring.

New York, Oct l8.-A Knoxville dispatch
to the Herald gives particulars of the tight at
Blue Springs on the 9th. On that day Col.
Carter. whose position had been supported by
reinforcements sent from the 9th corps, under
Col. Morrison OF the 18th Highlauders and
Col. Siegfried of the 4Sth Pennsylvania, adj
vanced in force to feel the strength of the en-
envy, and, crossing, he came up with them at
Blue Springs. A little engagement ensued.
Both sides were cavalry, the rebels under
command of Col. Jones.
After the first onset, the combatants be-
came confused IN piece of timber. A hand
to hand fight resulted, which finally terminated
with the route and flight of the rebels. The
enemy left sixteen killed on the field. Our
loss was four wounded and seven taken pris-
oners. The latter are supposed to have been
captured during the confused fight in the
woods. Gen. Burnsdes position is impreg-
nable, and Tennesseeans were enlisting rap
idly. The Union sentiment is very strong,
and is being rapidly developed.
