- @ koNEy FROM SOLDIERS FOR THEM FAMILlEs.-
Thirteen soldiers Of Co. K, (Capt. Merritt) En-
gineer Regiment, have sent from ten to twenty
Eve dollars each to their families or relatives in
Burlington and vicinity. The money was for
warded by the q. s. Express Co., and was dis
tributed on the 9th inst. The compsny was at
Camp Julia, Flat creek, Pettis county, Mo-, on
the I'd inst The aggregate amount sent by
these worthy soldiers was sl92 so. We trust
this good example will be followed by all our
soldiers. They need but little spending money
in the field. 81 80 a4h,iIgs Eetseg s,i..
Cd The following is the closing portion OF
Henry Ward Beecher's Thanksgiving Sermon
After demonstrating that England and France
were not in a position to Interfere with us by
reason of the condition in which God had pro
videntially placed them-England being more
in need Of corn than cotton, and France having
found it necessary to curtail her army and ex.
penees-he closes by saying: ,.,,
"We have sealed 5000 miles of coast; we
have shut the breathing holes and now we are
putting in the red hot torch of war at the upper
end, and in short time I think rebellion will be
unearthed. God has poured money in our land;
God has taken away cotton from England, and
He holds France in His right hand. Sweep
round the ring. Stand of, spectators Now
let this gigantic universe understand that it is
liberty and God, Slavery and the devil No man
put hand or foot into that ring till they have
taken battle unto death. Amen Even 90, Lord
God Almighty, it is Thy decree, it is Thy pur-
pose; and when the victory shall come, not un.
to Us, not unto US, but in the voice of Christ,
ten thousand ransomed ones mingle with all Thy
childien's gladness. Unto Thee be the praise
and the glory forever. Amen" "a. ~ dsa-
