Observation-Disclosures Hhll was well flled
last evening Notwithstanding the uninvitinr
state of the weather. Colleen Bayn was
played for the third time, with manifest i'm
provement over the first night we saw 1t. 1t

rose promptly at the time announced. the or
der in the Hall was excellent, the intervals
between the acts were short, and the whole
play was remarkably free from bitches. Mr..
Murray's appearance upon the stage was the
signal Tor generous applause, which was after-
wards melted out generously to him and others.
As we have heretofore paid our respects to
the male members of this company we Will
say closing word OF the ladies.
Miss Bidwelli is charming actress, beau
tiful dancer and sweet singer, and her mod
esty is not the least of her personal attrac-
tions. Miss Langley is modest and-pretty;
we know of no better word to express what
we mean, and though her articulation is open
to criticism, like Miss Bidwell she grows in
favor with the audience and must in time and
with careful study and practice, become
great favorite.
Mrs. Mcdonald is perfectly at home in Irish
characters, almost as much so as Mrs. Barney
Williams. Size is great accession t. the
company, and seldom fails to bring down the
house. In an Irish Jig she is perfect. Miss
Bryant, in the plays we have seen her in, is
very fair. She plays only subordinate parts.
Mrs. Pike is modest, pleasant lady, but evil

MEssRs. EDITORS Since recruiting COM
menced in this city, under the last call, we
have succeeded in obtaining some of the best
men that Maine has sent tito the army, and
the Provost MarshalI's office has been kept
constantly busy in the examination of volun-
teers. just now, however, the activity that
has been observable at the "City Recruiting
office is somewhat falling of.
In view of this fact 1 suggest, Mr.. Editor,
that series of war meetings be held at the
City Hall, and that an effort be made to re-
kindle the smouldering embers Of patriotism
that has heretofore characterized the citizens
of Portland, that the quota may be filed as
soon as possible, and while good men are offer
ing themselves. Will the city government
move in this N natter? EXEMPT.

The Negro soldier of the army; the one grave,
seli-reliaDt and quiet, you will find as you
sroil through the camp, writing his letter or
reading his newspaper, or sobely discussing
politics with his neighboIs; the other light
hearted as a child, and yet with all child's
docility, too, you find him playing at marbles,
or quoits with horse, shoes, or else gam
boiling and frollicking in pure exuberance of
spirits. All along the wharf, too, where the,
Negro laborers work, is constant scene of
Jublant uproar. They get through their work
well, too, but their aim seems to be to make
1t as much like play as possible. There is no
need OF the "bene6cent whipo for their labor
seems to be carnival of delight. Never do
their energies seem to weary or their spirits
to flag; for the day closes upon the same roll

In. drawing a parellel between the North
and South at the breaking out of the rebellion
and describing the conditions of each he says:
The South was land of dashing horsemen
lin the North riding was an uncommon
accomplishment; but by and-by the Federal
cavalry drove the others out of the field. The
North lad made armies but generals she had
to find out.
She blundered on. trying and casting aside
first this man, then that. But she found the
right men at last, and now she has armies
never surpassed, fast being armed with
weapon that has never been equslled, aud led
by generals whose skill and daring adds all
that is wanted for success. The South has
made a splendid fight, and may make hard
fight yet. But she is overmatched, and the
game is drawing near its end. She stands,
with her last card in her hand, doubling
whether to throw it down or not. Whatever
that card turns up it ends the game; and in
either case emancipation is the sure result
ICheers] And yet how strangely comes the
proposal from the South to arm and free her
slaves. Have they not all the time been teach
ing and preaching the doctrine that slavery is
benefcent system, under which the negro
is better and happier than he would be in
freedom? And now in return for the great
service which he is to render, they propose to
give him what they have always been telling
US would be curse to him. Did they be-
lieve their own gospel? Aud was not slavery,
too to be the corner stone of that everlasting
temple which was to be the admiration of the
whole world? How strange, then, if their
own hands should be the ones to tear that
structure down, even while wet with the
blood with which they have endeavored to
cement it. Cheers.
