THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER %, 1866.
Thanksgiving.


Minnesota has always been modest in pro-
claiming her Thanksgiving Day. It has been
the custom of her Executives to await the
action Of State Executives, and to permit
her to come into the observance Of the time
honored custom some weeks after the cere-
monies and festivities had passed in the COM
munities East and South of us. This is mod.
est aid proper iii young child of the Re.
public, who has not as yet arrayed herself
in the CARDS of full member of the Great
Confederacy. 'e.
To-day is Thanksgiving. We believe the
day will be kept sacred in St. Paul as far az
possible. 1t was the general wish about the
streets yesterday to hate all the places o.
business closed at an early hour, and that
men and women should repair to the Sanctu
airy of God-there to return thanks for the
manifold blessings which haze been admin
istered to us during the past year:
In observance OF this obligation, nj paper
will be issued from this Office tomorrow.

After consultation among the different
ministers and members of the Protestant
Churches of this City, it was resolved that
a union meeting of said Churches be held at
the First Presbyterian Church, at IL o'clock,

be preached by the Rev. Mr.. Riheldaffer.
We take pleasure in calling attention to this
arrangement which has been made by the
Protestant Clergy for the proper observance

all encouragement at the hands of our citi-

One Week Later.
ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.
HALiiFAx, Dec. j;

HALIFAX, Dec. D.
The America arrived here this P. M.
1t is reported from the Crimea, that the
Allies have determined upon a grand bonn
bardment of the Russian positions on the
North of Sebastopol.
The King of Sardinia was in Paris, and q
Cordial reception was being extended to him.
The Liverpool cotton market was dull and
quiet, and . decline had taken place in some
cases as high as per pound.
The Americas dates from Liverpool are to
Saturday, Nov. Gath, one week later than
those received by the Atlantic. 0s
The main feature of the news is the re-
port that Gen. Conrobert has a treaty of
alliance between Sweden and the Western
Powers, to take effect both by land and sea
in the spring. The rumor, however, is be-
lieved to be premature.
Peace rumors were quite abundant, and
amongst others, it is said that the Gear had
given his assent to Prussia's informing the
Western Powers that he is willing treat. All
the reports, however, lack confirmation, and
are regarded as doubtful.
The rumor that Russia is disposed to make
the first advance toward peace, is considered
unfounded. 1t is confidently reported, how
ever, that the envoy to St. Petersburgh
visited the Gar at Nicoloaiff, with the view
OF inducing him to recognize certain condi-
tiOns of peace, and that the Gar listened
favorably. When the Prussian cabinet made
known the views of the Gar to the Western
Powers, the latter deemed them insufficient,
but as Russia and Prussia are still in COM
munications ON the subject, and the Berlin
cabinet is making the greatest effort to in
duce the Gar to come to terms, the cOntinu-
alton of negotiations offers some chances of
peace.
Nothing had occurred since the last adj
vices received in the Crimea, Southern Rus
STA, or Asia:
Exports in breadstuffs limited, and prices
had undergone slight decline, say to the
extent of 2 pence OIL wheat: In provisions
there is no change Of moment The market
is steady. ......
At the Crimea, both the Allies and Rus
slams were under cover; the former still
contemplating an attack from the Russians.
The contemplated bombardment of the north
side of Sebastopol is to permit the Allied
feet to winter III the harbor,
Madinopal,. town on the north coast of
the sea of ,Azof, was bombarded by the
Allies on the Both of October A portion Of
the town had been fired when Austrian mer-
chants hoisted the flag of that nation over
their warehouses, and the firing was dis:
continued.
1t is rqn,ored that Gen. WWrangie menaces
the allied position at the straits Of Yenikals.
The Allies had 10000 troops, and expected
large reinforcements.
A large Allied force had embarked at Eu-
patoria, and sailed westward
AsIA.-Nothing later from Kars. Omer
Pasha had reached Okale.
