. MILITIA ORDER.-In another column
we publish the order Of General HaIder-
man, urging the Organization ofthe Mill
tia Of The State. Upon publishing the
Governors Proclamation some time since,
we referred at some length, to the lmipe'
diate necessity of such organization, and
we now callrthe attention OF our readers
again to the subject. The intention is en-
tirely for home protection, and company y
of forty men renaezvouing for the purpose
Of defeace and drill weekly, will be enti-
tied to arms and ammunition, furnished by
the State. The Major General, and staff
officers for thisn Division are all compe-
len, and worthy men; ssveraii if not all,
have seen service in This rebellion, and
some of whom have distinguished them.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. David Tod

Thanksgiving g.-Governor David Tod
TO whose charge the Temporal interests Of
the State have been entiusted-has appointed
Thursday, the 9th day OF the present month,
hs day of Thanksgiving and Prayer.
We will not stop to enquire what right the
People of Ohio have vested in their Governor
which authorizes him to Direct them when to
be thankful what items Of Divine gracious
ness to return thanks for, and TO regulate
their spiritual affairs in any way whatsoever.
A Custom which originated in the meridian
Of huge pile of imaginary Granite designa-
ted as plymouth Rock" is doubtless the peg
upon which our Governors have, since the
adoption of our State Constitution, annually
hanged pretentious document whose lite
rary significance is as pharisaical as its
effect is questionable, However, il. is a GUS
tom for the Governor TO issue Proclamations
for Thanksgiving and no matter how incon-
sistent their language with facts, the people
observe them-Aiter a fashion peculiar to indi.
yidual idiosyncracies, and ability to procure
tprkeys and other luxuries solid and liquid,
Involving expense without regard to any ratio
Of Thankfulness made known in theological
works Of which we have any knowledge.
The fact is, the people read the Governors
Proclamation, and do not take the trouble to
enquire whether its statements and deduc.
tons are correct or the reverse they accept
its suggestions, and follow it's recommenda-
tions to the best Of their ability, as soldiers
obey the command of their officers to charge,
without pausing to call in question the wis
dom Of the movement
Gov. Tod may be able to ''see it." but we
confess that we cannot clearly set forth the
Special Providences" for which stated and
Unusual thanks should be offered on Thurs
day next. 1t may be possible that the Gov
ernor has arranged for some Great Blessing
70 transpre before the day designated. In
that event the feeling of thankfulness with
the people will doubtless be large in proper
ton to the blessing they can see and feel
We hope that wO will have occasion for
enough thankfulness on the day set apart for
sAeh exercise, to justify us in the purchase of
q turkey, and such accompanImsnts as would
grace the board Of an humble Christian In
any event. may we soon have substantial
cause to be thankful and rejoice in that the
''bOttom Of the rebellion has, by some means,
been "knOcked out," and the Union as ii was
restored to us
, As Thanksgiving is question Of Time
and Occasion, let people offer thanks when
they feel they have something calling for
such devotion.
In the meanwhile we have no turkey.

aud unusual sight at Armory Hail. corner Of

improved.
These paintings comprise almost every de-
partment of art We would like to review
several of these exquisite gems Of art but

morrow Saturday evening, by G. P, Huber
