ALBANY,
BUTEEK PIIOTOGUAP1IEU.
The following articlo was written by
a distinguished Orcgonion, iu 18G5,
for the columns of a Cincinnati paper.
Gon. Butler mado a speech in Cincin
nati at that time in which ho denied
the numerous chargos of theft made
agaio&t him, and declared that he
"never took plated ware." This dec
laration and the speech wcro made
the text of the article. A dread of li
bel suits prevented its publication at
that time, and tho articlo has novcr
appeared in tjpe. Tho fear of the
Beast not having extended to this
coast, we cheerfully avail ourselves of
an opportunity to give our readers the
articlo. It is altogether ono of the
most merciless and deserved pen-cas-
ligations that has ever been visited
upon the authors and abettors of tho
crimes of the war :
BOTTLED BEN BUTLER.
The friends of this notorious indi
vidual boast that he made a "decided
hit" when be repelled tho insinuation
of larceny at Columbus tho other day
by saying that ho "utt er took plated
ware." Unconsciously, perhaps, in
that brief tenteuce he gave an epitome
of his real character. The unscrupu
lous audacity of his character, com
bined with his experienco in "busi
ness" would forbid his "taking" an in-
ferior article, particularly when it was
in his power to lay his bauds upon
'valuables." His talent in that par
ticular is hereditary, and the instincts
which brought tho fathcr to a sudden
and ignominious end fceem to havo
been transmitted to a couple of no
less promising sons. The brother,
Anderson I., never aspired much to
public notice, but evinced a remarka
ble talent for fathoming tho lowest
depths of vice in California, bat after
bis connection with tho "General" in
New Orleans he even is said to have
become fastidious about tho valuo of
the articles which he "took."
The annals of crime hardly furnish
anything surpassing tho characters of
those worthy brothers. Tor a while
they operated in different spheres.
While Ben was in the Charleston Con
vention exerting his ability and influ
ence for tho nomination of his bosom
friend, Jeff Davis, for the Presidency,
and in open violation of tho instruc
tions of the Democracy of Massachu
setts, who were for Douglas, Ander
son I. was in California, the associate
and patron of small cut-throat gam
blers and petty thieves, "taking'' al
most anything that he could lay hit
hands ujwn. The commencement of
the Rebellion and inauguration of war
opened a wider and more promising
field for the peculiar talents of this
uob'e pair. By their instincts they
were naturally attracted to the rich
and inviting field of Now Orleans for
tho purpose of "plying their vocation"
under the security which a stato of
war always affords for tho perpetration
of revolting outrages and acquisition
of plundei.
Whilo one was disguised in tho uni
form of an American General, and
wielding despotic power, the other was
the "business man" of the firm. Then
commenced, under military protection,
the most infamous system of robbery
ever inaugurated in any country or
any age. The chartering of trans
ports, the bringing in of cotton and
sugar, was all turned over to Ander
son I. Cotton, sugar, furniture, plate
and money were seized as "tokens"
and sent n -rth in public transports,
and were sold or deposited for tbo firm.
The General occasionally made a small
grab of a cargo of sugar or cotton, or
fifty or a hundred thousand dollars in
specie on his individual account (vide
bmttlt h catse). ;
If any man or woman . complained
of being robbed, they were either im
prisoned or denounced as dixloval per
sons, and in most instances they pre
ferred to acqu.esce in being despoiled
oi tneir goous ratner tuan oppose a
robber of brutal instincts backed by
an army.
Apparent patriotism was never be
fore prostituted to such base purposes,
and when the true history of the reign
of the .Butlers is published as it will
be to the world, tlio American peo
ple will stand aghast to think that
such, outrages were perpetrated under
the folds of the American flag and by
tho power of- an American army for
the mere purpose of enriching two
such brothers. - At one time Anderson
I. prosecuted his enterprise with too
much vigor, and being detected oy the
soldiers, whom he was in the habit of
fleecing of their pay in using ."waxed
cards," was compelled to flee on board
the fleet for protection and to escape
the -vengeance of the "Boys in Blue
He shortly returned to JSew York,
where he died. ; Having no opportum
ty to divide, he left the military mem
ber of the hrm his share of the various
'takes" by will
s So far as tho capture of the s forts
Jackson, Sa"n Phillips , and New Or
leans aro concerned, tho public already
know that Ben Butler had no more to
do with those enterprises than had the
darkey who blacked Commodore Far-
ragut s shoes. , ..- ,
" The legitimate field for tho opera
tions of the two Butlers was not open
until after tlie fighting was done.., The
jackal always observes the battle at , a
respectful distance ; his talents are not
pup m requisition until after the : last
gun i3 fired. -. .. ;- f.J' 'ri
..The surviving , Butler . now .' talks
pompously about having ; 'sworn that
the negroes should be armed with the
ballot when he led tham against the ene
mies' works." Won't he in i his next
irecch tell ub when aid whoro he waa

ever within the range of a hostilo gun
except at one time when he rode out
with an escort to look at that costly
monument of his folly known as
"Dutch Gap."
The entiro history of Ben Butler
exhibits a wonderful innocence of any
thing Hue instinct or correct principle.
His natural deficiencies in that respect
have not been improved by his long
and - intimate association with the
worst and most adroit of scoundrels
who frequent tho pevlieus of tho crim
inal courts. He seems rather to have
moulded his character upon those sur
roundings, and in his administration
of public affaire combined tbe charac
teristics of tho dishonest policeman
and petty pickpocket. Backed by tho
strong arm of tho military power of
tho Republic, with which ho was un
fortunately intrusted, ho has ptostitu
ted it to the vilest of purposes, seiz
ing his vie vim by the throat, by means
of that power with one hand, ho has
rifled their pockets with the other, un
til gorged with ill-gotten millions, he
now lays claim to respectability.
His moral obliquity is greater than
his physical, and his soul seems to
have been cant in the same mould with
his hideous countenance. Backed by
an army, hu courugo knew no bounds
when attacking defenceless men, wo
men or children, to seize their privato
wealth. Ho was a plunderer disguis
ed iu the national uniform: and in
placo of a sword he bltould havo been
armed with u cotton hook or tho im
plements of a burglar. j
After voting nt tho Charleston Con
vention fifty -seven times for Jeff
Davis for President of tho United
..tatcs, ho turns around and aban
dons his candidato with as little
remorse as he would a client be had
fleeced, or a woman whom he had rob-1
bed, and, like Dr. Johnson's scoun-j
drcl, seeks refuse in patriotism for the
ynrposo of robbing his old allies.
t-fl", however, ha? had as little reason
to complain of his military prowess as
of bis political friendship. The illu
sory prospect in 18G0 of a seat in Jeffs
cabinet soon gave way to tho more
congenial and fascinating employment
of robbing dell s mends or their
wealth.
It is not strango t mt a person who
has been personally bo greatly bene
fitted by the turmoil and troubles of
tho last five years shouliLbo opposed
to seeing tho country restored to its
wonted peace, prosperity, and happi
ness. And it is not strange that Ben
Butler, when ho contemplates his
hordo of ill-gotten wealth within so
brief a period, should publicly advo
cate a continuance of those disorders
and talk about people of eleven States
ai"niere camim of jxiroled prixuncm
without pjlitical rvjhtn," subject to be
tyranized over and robbed by him and
his kind for an indefinite period.
hat does he earo about blood and
wounds, widowed women, orphaned
children, desolato hearths, new-made
graves, a bankrupt treasury, or a des
olated country if ho is to escapo all
thoso evils and luxuriously enioy the
shares of tho lion, the jackal and tbe
hyena combined at his safe and pala
tial retreat at Lowell, Massachusetts?
As a soldier the fighting Generals
despised him, and Grant wrote bis ca
reer in the ono word "bottled.
Butler has never been accused of a
want of sense or cunning in tbo ac
quisition of wealth, and in "taking"
things ho has been no mean rival of .
Claudo Duval, Dick Turpin aud Jack,
Shepard. Whilo he has rather sur-
passed them all in audacity, he bos!
been tbeir inferior only in point of
courage and honesty
It is an evidence of tbe degcueracy
of the times that people who claim to
bo respectable should sanction or as
sociate with a wretch with such a rec
ord, and who boasts of the discrimina
tion in his profession which forbids
him to "take plated ware."

TIIE FATHER OF DEMOCRACY.
Thomas Jefferson was born on tho
2d day of Anril. 1743. at Kriul.it in
the county of Albemarlo, in the State
of Virginia. If- as soma minnnoa v.a
characters of men are moulded by the
physical scenery around them as they
grow up to manhood, Jefferson was
lortunate in tbe home of his youth ;
for it ia difficult to conceive of a land
scape more beautiful and romantic than
mat which greeted his youthful vision.
A lovely valley, smiling at the feet of
the high lands swelling above it ; lux

In his seventeenth year. Jefferson
was sent to William and Mary College,
at that time, and for many years sub
sequently, tho most approved institu
tion ot letters in the Stato , in whoso
venerable halls so manv of lhe mni.
eminent sons of that honored common
wealth were furnished forth with th
first preparation for the distinguished
parts they played in after life.
it was in hw twenty-third rear, while
a student of law at Viiliamsbur un
der the pure and learned Wytho, that
Jefferson heard Patrick Henry, in tbe
iAousooiAurge8ses,aeclaimingagainst
tho Stamp Act. For a young man to
hear Henry and to adopt his cause,
wero tbe same thing; for tho great
orator spoke under the double inspi
ration of eloquence and liberty. Hen
ry was in tho prime of his powers, and
this speech was one of tho greatest of
his life. The scene then enacted was
worthy of tbe historic pencil; tho ora
tor, kindling with the tire of EzekieL
and pouring forth from his impassion
ed soul, aflame with liberty tlm
thoughts so long imprisoned and
burning for utterance in the solitude
of tho forest; cowing the bold by
greater boldness ; inspiring tho timid;
and pleading the cause of his country
men wun a rapi enihusiasm alun to
inspiration ; his voice swelling out its
thunder tones, his form dilated, and
his countenance transfigured.
And then, tho younor auditor in the
lobby, strangely thrilling and carried
away captive by the new influence
throbbing in his heart and firing his
brain; that stranger, a rudo unfashion
ed youth then, but predestinated to
be, and receiving then tho impulse
which was to mako him one of the
most effective of all tho champions of
freedom in tho world. It is barelv
too extravagant a figure to say, that
the neophyte votary was thus baptized
to liberty in the flood of Henry's elo
quence. We pass rapidly over the passages
in the life of Jefferson; his election, in
1769, by tho people of his county to
a seat in tho Legislature, which he
held to the time of the Revolution,
and signalized by his unsuccessful
proposition for the emancipation of
the slaves of the State ; his appoint
ment as member of the Correspond
ence Committee established by the col
onial legislature ; his address to the
King, in 1744, so much commended
by Burke, vindicating the claims of
tuo colonics ; ana his election, in
1755, as ono of the delegates of Vir
ginia to the Continental Congress. '
And now discontent had grown into
agitation, and agitation had passed to
the verge of the Revolution. The
colonies were ripe for open revolt ;-
indeed, tno held had been taken in
Massachusetts, and tho first blood of
the war shed. Mighty events were on
tho wing. The country stood still and
silent, as men stand on the evo of a
great explosion. The crisis had come,
wheu the work of a moment controls
the events of centuries, and tells tho
aesuny ot minions. Alio crisis was
boldly met, and the venture boldly
taken, it fell to the task of Jefferson
to announce the decision to the world,
and to appeal to that world m vindi'
cation of its justice. No hoj e was left
of conciliation, and no chance
of retreat; and "The Declartion"
rang out its burning words of defiance
and resolute resistance. The country
answered back with shouts and huz

trict Mr. Parker has found, besides the
very large established and locateaaug-

looking for locations, to make new
homes. A fair portion of these new
comers are from California, and have
lived in tbat State for years ; but tbey
come here to avoid drouths and other
drawbacks, to which tbat country is
subject. Tbe majority are from states ,
across the continent, however, and
they seem enchanted with what they
seen of Oregon and experienced of her
climate. The population of Columbia
county will sum up fully double more
than that of 1860, and this increase of
population has been amply accompan
