shern Of our State. of setting apart one day tn
each wear for praise, thanksgiving and prayer 10
Almighty God. for his goodness and mercy. to
ne a. 4 f,eopie should be preserved Especially
al time like tho present, should all good citi.
gems unite, inlaying aside the ordinary business
Of life, at least for day, and devote themselves
10 the teachings Of their Maker.
The effort made by the legally constituted au.
thorities Of the land, 10 put down the wicked
rebellion against the Federal Government, the
bost ever enjoyed by any people, IN which eff
ort the gallant sons Of Ohio have borne 30 con-
spicuous and proud a part, has filed every
neighborhood with mourning. Our brave sol
diers are yet exposed TO the dnngers Of the field
Of battle. and 10 the-hardships and sickness OF
camp life; and, our system Of government, in
form after Gods own laws, and so gentle that its
rsins we're scarcely felt by the governed, is yet
inperiL
Our Heavenly Father can console the DISTRESS
ed, and heal the soETows Of the mothers and
widows heart; He can protect from danger our
patriotic soldiers now in the field; He can par
slyse the arm of the enemy Of our good govern
ment.
Now, therefore, in obedience 10 the request OF
the General Assembly Of the State of Ohio, and
% the end that simultaneous petition 10 Him
may ascend TO Heaven from all parts of oul
State, | do hereby fix upon, and set apart Thurs
day, the 9th day Of November noxt, as day Of
praise Thanksgiving and prayer, TO Almighty
God. And | do recommend that abstaining
from all business pursuits, the good and pure
minded people Of our State meet together in
their usual placesDf worship, dwith one voice
humbly ask the God Of all nations to smile up
on the distressed ofour land; that He give wis
dom and purity to those in authority; that He
ProstFate the enemies of our Government; and
thai, IN all things He give wisdom to all the peo-
pie Of the earth as viii enable them TO conform
to His laws, to the end that peace and goodwill
shall prevail throughout the world.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my

clever Feat of a Yankee schOoImaster,

CieFer Eeslt OF a Iankeo SchO0lmasteFs
A Hilton Head correspondent tells the
following story Of a schoolmaster belonging
in Maine, who made his escape last week
from the rebel army and from Savannah,
Georgia, in the following manner:
Corporal McFaddeu, of the Forty y-seventh
Georgia volunteers, is the author of a very
neat proceeding. He not only deserted the
rebel cause, but brought in two men from
his own regiment as prisoners, and gave
them up to Colonel Barton, at Fort Pulas
ki. Obtaining permission TO go short dis
taDce down the river from Savannah, and
securing the detail Of a couple of soldiers
TO serve as oarsmeu, he got their rifles un.
der his feet, land, with loaded revolver at
their heads, persuaded them, however much
it may have been against their will, to row
him to Pulaski. There he arrived on Sun
day night last, aud waited in his boat,
guarding bis captives, ill morning. They
own to having taken good many lessons
from Yankee scbool-masters in their day;
but this one, they assert, will last them
longest Of all McFadden, whose home
and birth place are in Maine, enlisted about
two months ago, with view of getting out
Of the confederacy. How he was to escape
to our lines never troubled him. He de-
pended on his Down East cuteness to get
himself over TO our side.

nobel Views on tAle Late Htecttoms.
The Richmond Despatch Of Nov. 10, in
an article on The late elections 10 Yankee
dom, says:
They ltbe Denocrals) believe restoration
s,illpossible. ID Ibis respect they Dc uol
maaifeet their usual sagacity. They have
the Incredible folly to lbehevo that there
stiii Turks among tho body ofthat people
who have fought against that Union as men
never fought before, secret attachment TO
'Hhc old flag which is tho most detesled
of all earthly symbols to the whole body Of
the Southern people. They do not reflect
thai while, to them, tho condition whieh'it
Is intended 70 represent has been product
i've Of unalIoyed blessings, It's associated
10 the Southern mind with images Of com
mercial poverty and sectional oppression
To this imagined feeling Of latent loyalty
TO the Union they are willing to appeal
Thcy have no doubt that they will be sue
cessful But first they must beat us into
tho humor for submission. They must
make US know thoir strength.
They must teach us they are our masters
They must kill hundred OF two thousand
Of our men. They must take Richmoud,--
They must crush rebellion. And then they
will offer US terms, having first asserted. the
supremacy Of the american eagle as they
arc facetiously wont TO term the Yankee
buzzard. They care, and pretend to care
nothing for the uiggsr. They will agree
after having conquered us, TO agree upor
any terms, provided this grand object BE-
attained. If the Southern people will mol
agree TO all this, rs most assuredly they
never will, then they are for carrying OF
the war to an extremity that would satisfy
the most ultra Of the abolition party. They
will never consent-let John Van Bureu
say what be may-to let the "wayward sis
ters" depart in peace.
1t may be that a Democratic Congress
might propose to tho Southern States, as a
condition for reconstructiug the Union, t.
lcgalizs slavery everywhere, and this before
proceeding further with tho war. Butever
were the South disposed, under any circum
stances, to re enter such state of bondage
it must be borne in mind that the presen
Abolition Congress has still one year more
to run. In that time some Of the mos
desperate battles the world has ever heard
of will have been fought, and the Yankee:
will already have conquered US or been ex
PEELED from our territory. So far, then, as
the war is concerned, we shall gain nothing
by the late Democratic victories at least fol
the present.
AS in the case of expected Intervention
we warn our people to trust to themselves
and to nobody and nothing else. Never
theless, it is pleasant to see Old ABB
thwarted in the dearest wishes Of his heart

How the Army Received the News of
Gen. mcCIclIan's Removal.
Correspondents Of the New York


Rectortown, Fauquier Co., Va, Nov. Sat
IL o'clock last night came the order orremoving
General Mcclellan, and substituting General
Burnside in his place. The announcement this
morning of course, occasions the most intense
excitement among the troops. But we hear
nothing of those one hundred thousand who
were to lay down their arms. On the contrary,
the news is received among the soldiers as the
harbinger of victory. To see the effect, ] made
known the fact to a number of them collected at
the depot this morning. That's good newsl''
exclaimed one. 81 am mighty glad to hear that,
said anqiher "Ths war viii soon be ended, p"
cliamed5 third. There is not, indeed dissent
ing voice among the whole number as to the
propriety and necessity for such a change. The
Generals Staff is Of courfe, uproarious, venting
their spleen against the President, General Hal
lecl1 and mankind in general. General Nc
Clelan was very fortunate in selecting his staff
of officers. There We're exceptions, to be sure
but, as a whole there has been no body Of men
so universally unpopular in the army. Preten-
tious, overbearng, it has been almost impossi.
bic to penetrate through them to their General.
His headquarters were at this place until to-day.
Early this morning he and Gen. Burnside rode
over together TO Salem, a small village five
miles distant on the Manassas Railroad

"There is terrible state of affairs in the

many cases, burning down the houses after
robbing them. Many people are coming
down here and will be taken care of by our
friends; but many cannot come, and how
they are to get along it is impossible toim-

suffering, and some starvation. The most
