A SENSIBLE MAN.

The thanksgiving proclamation OF Gov
ernor PARKER, of New Jersey, has been
much condemned as a model of its kind.
In calling the people to Thanksgiving on
the last Thursday of Nov, the Governor
folks like man of sense, as follows:
Let US thank God for abundant harSests;
Let us thank Him for preserving us
from pestlence;
Let us thank Him that order has been
maintained, and the laws respected and
obeyed within our borders
Let us thank Him for victories achieved
by the armies of the nation
Let us thank Him for tho manifold
mercies and blessings he has freely be-
slowed upon us for life and health; for
Christian institutions and privileges; for
his revealed Word and especially for
the gift of His Son, tho Saviour OF the
world, who continually maketh irterees-
sion for us.
While we offer thanks, let us also pray
that God will give us hearts to pity and
relieve the poor that He will give CON
ISOLATION to the widow and orphan who
sorrow for the heroic dead; that lie will
preserve in safety our brave soldiers in
the field that lie will soon remove the
rod of our chastisement that He will
give wisdom to those in authority; that
He will change the hearts Of our enemies
and so order events thai peace may be
speedily restored, and the now discordant
sections of the nation be again united.

How IT WoRKs.-A widow in West
ern New York, whose husband was
killed in the war, had left her by him
a note for about five thousand dollars
secured by mortgage, At the same
time she owed in Canada debt OF
less than $4,000. Under the legal ten
der law she is obliged to take green
backs for what is due her IN New
York, while she is obliged to pay spe-
cio or its equivalent for the sum she
owes in Canada The five thousand
dollars is not of course, sufficient to pay
this debt The widow don't clearly
understand it, and has lost faith in
"Old Abe's" proposition that it is cas-
ier to pay large debt than n larger
one.

RS5-Tho Springfield Republican is
one of the few Administration papers
that is blessed with . few grains of
common sense, as witness the follow

than will be found in the N. y. Trib.

"There is general jubilation in the
Republican papers over the assumed
death of the Democratic party. They
had better not take that for granted
A party that has just thrown more
votes than ever before in every State
except Massachusetts, and
has been beaten only by the most ex.
traordinary efforts, can hardly be con
sidercd quite dead. y The
moral of the political situation Of the
Republican leaders is that they have
no such excess Of strength as to make
it safe for them to be reckless or de
fiant as to means and measures; that
they are still on trial before the Amer.
lean people as to their ability and in
tegrity in the conduct of the govern
ment, and that they can only hope to
obtain a renewed Lease Of power by
demonstrating that they can and will
use it for the general welfare, rather
than for private and partizan ends"

THE REBELS REFUSE TO RECEIVE
FURTHER SUPPLIES FOR UNION
SOLDIERS.

BALTIMORE, Dec. l3.
The following dispatch was received
at an early hour this morning:
FORTRESS MONROE, Dec IL.
C. c. Fulton, Baltimore American -
Please give notice that the rebel author
tiles declire receiving any more packages
or provisions for the Union prisoners, SO
that parties interested may refrain for
whrding any more goods to this point.
B F. BUTLER,
Gen. Commanding.
Rev. Mr.. Torrance. who went 10 City
Point with DR.. Clement C. Barclay, re-
turned this morning. He had an inter
view with Capt, Hatch, who was sent from
Richmond to meet him. lie informed
him of the above decision of the rebel
government, and gave as reason there
for, what they alleged to be an imputa-
lion on their honor by the press and gov
ernment authorities that they were not
delivering the goods forwarded in good
faith to prisoners, and asserted OF his own
knowledge the officers in Libby Prison,
from the immense supplies they had re-
ceived could set table from their stores
in hand equal to any hotel in the United
States. He admitted that there had been
some irregularities in the supplies at one
time, but that the officers who had bean
guilty of neglecting prisoners had been
promptly removed and punished. As to
the bad condition of the prisoners return
ed 10 Annapolis, ho said they were ex
treme cases Of consumption, and that il
was grave error on the part Of the au
thorities to have allowed such prisoners tc
return. For the present nothing would
be received but letters and Enclosures o
money, and Southern money had better be
sent.

"NIsFoRTUNEs NEVER CONE SING
IS,"-A soldier of the 10Th regulars,
a native Of Philadelphia, at the bat
do of Chickamauga was struck with
a piece of shell in the right eye, cut
ting out the entire eye, then passing
under the bridge of the nose and de.
stroying the sight of the left eye, and
he is now perfectly blind, though in
the prime of life. In the same action
in which he lost his eyesight, he had
n father and throo brothers killed
leaving out of whole family only
himself and his aged mother.

Poor OF MARRfAoE.-It not unfre-
quently happens that clergymen in mar
rying couple, omit to give a certificate
of the marriage or to make any registra-
tion of it, Such evidence is rendered es.
pecially important just now, as in the
case of the death Of poldier, the widow
must have certificate of marriage before
she can receive pension. A New Jersey
paper, in speaking of this subject, as it res
poets that State, says:
Upon searching the records within the
past year for marriage, nearly half the un
fortunate widows have been turned away
with the remark THE clergyman per
forming the ceremony has neglected tc
comply with the law"

LIBBY, Dec. I'd, 1868.
CAPTAIN:-ln answer to your note OF
this date ] would state that as near rs
can recollect, you personally offered, on
Sunday Nov. ODD, to distribute 10 the
officers in this prison q barrels, containing
pork, salt, beef, -four and corn meal sent
by the Baltimore American relief fund ;
but having no convenience for issuing it,
| declined receiving it. On the following
day, however, inspected, in company
with other officers, and directed Mr. Burn
ham, your assistant, to issue it in rations
of half pound per man to the two officers
acting as commissioners for the purpose,
and can cheerfully state that the in
structions thus far have been faithfully
complied with, and these provisions have
been issued in addition 10 the regular ra'
tions allowed us by the authorities here.

WANT or Coal AT LOUISVILLE The coal
question is agitatiug the people Of Louis
Vile. KY, more, just now, than the war.
The war is not at their doors, but the coal
famine is, and the great question is, how
10 avoid it. 1t is proposed that the city
council order the Mayor to borrow, on the
credit of the city. an amount sufficient to
purchase 100000 bushels of coal, to be de-
iiyefed TO the citizens at cost. Coal, il is
said, can be purchased at Cannelton, ia
barges, al IS to IA cents per bushel,-
1t is now selling at 80 cts. per bushel.

of clothing issued in time for this commu-
nicstion. Statements in detail will be
prepared, however, as soon as possible, of
the amount Of clothing received and is
sued, and to whom issued and the amount
required to fully supply the wants Of tie
prisoners OF war now here, a copy Of which
we respectfully request may be forwarded
by flag of truce to the proper United
States military authorities. A shipment
of clothing is now being made to Danvile
sufficient to supply the wants of the pris-
oners of war at that place. The commit
tee take pleasure in Stating that every
facility for the inspection of the prisoners
and the distribution Of the clothing has
been afforded them by the rebel military
authorities.
The duties of the committee we're lin
tied by the order putting them on duty
exclusively TO the distribution of clothing.
The fact that ratons forwarded by the
United States Government and societies
in the North were being issued to prison
ers of war on Belle Isle, and in the prs-

ly come under the observation Of members
Of the committee, while in the discharge

SroNEwALL JACKsoNs ADMISSION
INTO HEAvEN.-I was much amused
at tho rebel prisoners account of
Stonewall Jacksons admission into
Heaven, They were strong admirers
Of Gen. Jackson, and especially of the
success Of his flank movements. "The
day after his death" said they, "two
angels came down from Heaven to
carry Gen Jackson back With them.
They searched all through the camp,
but could not find him. They went
to the prayer meeting, to the hospital,
and to every other place where they
thought themselves likely to find him,
but in vain. Finally they were fore
cd to return without him. What was
their surprise to find that he had just
executed q splendid flank movement
and got into heaven before n
