ANNA DICKINSON AT QUINCY.

Miss Dick, son leesured At Quincy Thurs
day evening. She had very large audience
Her theme was Woman S labor and Wants y
The Chicago Republican, in its report, says
'.she spoke Of the difficulties which impede
women in her efforts to support herself by
her own hands The diff rent avenues are
closed to her, and she is compelled to follow
certain pursuits, and those pursuits are
crowded with workers, who realize bu, q bare
pttance for their labor. She spoke elequenty
and feslingly of the temptations to which
young women, thrown upon their own re.
sources, are exposed in our large cities. All
their energies are taxed to keep life and soul
together. They toll on throu gh days and
finally despair, and fall into the ahys of ain.
The speaker appealed to her hearers in be.
half of these creatures, and conjused them to
save others from the same fate, By correcting
their use. She said that as no flower or
shrub could grow beautifully without rain or
sunshine, neither could these women, reared
in poverty and envroned by tenn tations, bs
expected to grow here in such an atmosphere.
She thought that there should be free com.
petition for woman in the broad field of labor.
That she who had an aptitude for ANY pursuit
that man follows, should be permitted to fol-
low it without moestatiou. The powers Of
woman were an d-rrated by the OF her sex. If
one spoke we'll, wrote well, or played we'll.
men would declare that she had / masculine
mind. She resented such AHfont Give
woman IN equal chance, let society aid and
conntenaece her in al honorable efforts 10
make her self reliant, and she renudiated the
idea, that woman could not attend 10 other
business without neglecting het domestic
dates, and gave instances to the contrary.
Her appeal was directed especially in behalf
81 those who had 70 work for l;yl;hood.
Labor 10 honorable in man or woman. and
she wished to see it SO recognized By al. A
woman who works often feels that she il In =

The St. Louis Neus is led by the conflict
ins reports in reference to oar Mexican felas
tons to ask: when are We TO get the true
story about Mexican affairs? Yesterday the
kilograms to the Associated Press went into
details about the Governments intention
towards Mexico. Sherman was going there,
and everything in regard to Mexico was going
on swimmingy. To-day We hear that the
Washington Republic officially denies the
whole story, and the report is that the Assoc
ciated Press agent has been sold, it is said,
By those in the interests Of Mexican bonds.
Is he country to be ruled forever by money
gamblers.

As to the general result of the election in
this State, We have already expressed our
opinion. We shall undoubtedly elect the
Republican State ticket BY a msjority OF
thirty to forty Thousand, with an equally
large majority for Gen. Logan, the Republi,
can candidate tor Congress from the State at
large. Of the present delegation in Con,
gress,. the Republicans already have eleven
out OF fourteen members, an advantage which
our information from all parts of the State
leads US to believe they will retain. 1t is not
impossible that at least one of the three
Democratic districts may be carried BY the
Republican candidate, also, Notwithstanding
the large Copperhead najorities in 1864. or
the districts which went against them two
years ago. the opposition are devoting their
chief efforts to carrying he Fourth, Twelfth.

A party, whose wife had been indicted by
the grand jury of the parish of Rapides for
stealing cotton, lately addressed letter to the
military authorities stating that the bill of
Indictment had been found because he ana MS
wife had been Unionists throughout the war
This letter the military referred to Governor
Wells, who sent it to Rapides.
The following communication from Hon.
William B. Lewis judge of the Rapides dis
triet, will be read with satisfaction by every
good citizen, by all who desire peace and
order The charge that the judicial authori-
ties of that parish are prosecuting Union nen
is shown to be calumny and the contradic-
ton comes with irresistible force from judge
Lewis since lie was Union man from the
beginning to the end OF the war
ALEXANDRIA, La, June u, 1866.
Governor J. NJ Wells, New Orleans
Dear Sf'-Late yesterday evening, | received
from Judge Ryan, through several intermediate
channels, message from you, to the effect that
some person in this parish had written to Gen.
Candy, that the grand jury of Rapides had in
dCted a number of Union men simply because
they were Union men. Not knowing the author
OF this letter, cannot of course form any opinion
as to the lespeCtabilty of its source. 1t may be
some one who was indicted by the grand jury, or
some innocent but Gredulous individual, easily
misled by designing men, whose only motive is to
keep negro troops in the country under pretense
OF protecting Union men, but really to enable
these msCreants TO foster and keep spirit of dis
cord in the community, and thus for time ward
of the odium which attaches to them on account
of their crimes. Be this as it may, have no hesi-
tatiOn in stating that although the proceedings OF
the grand jury are necessarily secret by virtue of
positive law, and that have no means of knowing

The saints Jubilee-A Satire.

For the New Orleans Crescent
short satirical poem, bearing this title, and
published in pamphlet FORM has made its appear
anoe in our midst. 1t may be found at most of the
booksellers in our city. The author, whoever he
may be, has modestly declined literary pretension,
by anonymous publication. Rumor claims to have
detected the concealed authorship and accredits
it to gentleman Of well known ability and ac-
quirements, whilOm distinguished in fields far re
moved from the field of letters We shall not
seek to penetrate the veil the author has seen fit
to employ. Suffice it to say that the sword now
hanging unused on his wall, though wreathen with
well won honors, may repose without discredit
side by side with his pen.
The satire is dedicated to all the saints in and
out of the freedmen's bureau "a numerous host
Of ominous and obscure spirits, who circle round
some central figure, pre.eminent in evil, as the
multitude Of lost spirits are portrayed in Paradise
Lost, grouped about the fallen Son Of The
Morning.
The purpose Of the satire is TO present in Hudi,
Drastic style the doctrines of the radical Repub-
Gcan party, and the inevitable conclusions of
social disorder and national disruption which must
result from those doctrines if carried into effect.
a brief history of the radicals is furnished, from
the moorng at Plymouth Rock Of the bark May.
flower down to the present time. The history is
admirably rendered-in nervous, energetic, anti,
thetcal liRes-and often with considerable grace
of versifcation.
tits not to be expected in satre-indeed, it
would not correspond to the genius of that species
of poetry, that the language should be always
smooth, or the ring of the verse always musical
The essence Of satire is Vgor terseness and words
fitting close to the idea. Its dress should be not
The rich and flowing vesture of imperial DANES
but rather the strong and elastic tights of the
acrobat, which hug the form they encase without
impeding its movement.
Our author seems to have kept this prineinIe in
view with commendable steadiness of purpose
Only once or twice does he deviate from the line
Of true satire, and then at times where the thought
has assumed proportions of some magnitude, and
$ dignited by emotions of scorn and indignation.
We can well forgive occasional departures from
'igorous adhesion to established poetoal canons.
where the heresy Is characterized by power and
|
We have not proposed to ourselves an extended |
" minute criticism of this little poem. Our pur.
pose is simply to indicate to the reading public
he existence of new poem which ought to be
widely read, because it may be widely useful.
The views of the author are so correct and en-
orced with so much vigor that public sentiment
must be impressed by them.
We take leave of the subject, therefore, approv-
lg the performance, and recommending it to the
avor of the literary public.

SANITARY. The Board of Aldermen at their
meeting on Tuesday evening, all but unani-
mously passed the health ordinance drawnyp
under the direction of a joint committee of the
Board Of Health and the city council adopted
BY that joint committee, after careful consider
alton and adaptation, and then passed by the
Board Of Health after ample discussion by a
full quorum. Perhaps no less ought to have
been expected, in view Of the imperative ne
eessity there is now for the civic authorities
not relaxing those efforts to preserve the public
health whieh-the military authorities of the
United States have exerted during the past
:: four years. Still the Judgment and tirmness
with which the question was met, deserve
acknowledgement. The public health is a sub
-jeet not to be lightly dealt with anywhere
but there is perhaps no city in the world in
which it more needs to be dealt with IN an en-
larged spirit Of Iberality franlness and de-
monstration than in New Orleans. The Board
--of Health and the Board of Aldermen have
done their duty in the premises, and the AS
sssistant Board Of Aldermen viii doubtless 40

will then be fairly started on new career Of
improvement which cannot but greatly aid in
