Thanksgiving In Cabot.

The various religious societies united in thanks
giving services at the Congregational church,
where the congregation, though respectable, v"
by no means so large as the magnitude and the
solemn interest Of the occasion should have
brought together. The good news received 10
the morning from Gen. Grants army in the west,
gave increased ssst and interest TO oil the inqui-
ries which we're introduced by reading the Proc
lsma,ons Of the President and Governor, and
singing the Presidents hymn. h,7
The patriotic discourse Of Rev. Mr.. King,
Methodist clergyman, from Palms 61--6, v"
we'll adapted to the occasion. Rev. Mr.. Drew,
Congregational,i, also spoke briefly, showing that
God was leading this Government through dark
nights, and mys!.riou'ly, yet surely and safely to
complete, fnal and permanent victory, where the
suu Of righteousness shall rise aud shine upon
nation blessed with universal freedom. ~ .,r.s
A free will offering Of $50 was made to the
Christian Commission for the relief Of our prison
ers at Richmond. ...... ...I s,B
Never have we seen a Thanksgiving occasion
observed with more devout and truly grateful
hearts, or praise more heartily ascribed to (" Hin
who rueth in the heavens, and who governs the
Nations upon EARTH" +.

an imposing affair. The Sixth Corps when it is
all together, artillery and all, makes quite little
army by itself. 90 these occasions, We brighten

selves, SO far as soap and water aud clothes brushes
will do ii, and try to make the best appearance
possible. fancy we had pretty good success IL
that. at this review, and believe old SedgwicS
thought so too. Our regiment happened 10 o'

when the General aud staff passed around from

THE NoN.lNTERcoURsE Policy. cores
pondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from
The mouth Of White liver, Ark, thus testities to
the beneficial effect Of the trade restrictions OF
Sec. Chase in that region;
Cotton is slowly coming in from the country
back of here on both sides Of the river. Last
week woman arrived on the point opposite
with bale Of cotton that she had brought sixty
miles, from the interior Of Mississippi She was
allowed TO proceed to Memphis with her cot
ton, aud there dispose Of it. The natives were
suffering exceedingly for want of supplies that
can be had in abundance in the Northern mar
ket. For that very reason 1t is highly important
that we should keep up the blockade uTon them
for while longer We have had sufficient test
OF their temper TO know that we can never win
them back by Kindness They will never return
TO the Union except through personal consldera-
tons. Their sutferi1gs thus far have opened
their eyes to the worthessness Of their own Gov
ernment They are beginning to have sglimmer-
ing Of respect for the Union, not because they
1 love it, but because they wish for the physical
comforts that peace alone can bestow. II va
keep up the starvation process we shall soon
bring them fairly within our fold, and when once
reduced to submission they will behave themselve'
in failure. Gen. Grant is right IN his theory oI
non-intercourse with the rebellious States.

TuE EXCHANGE or PRISONERS. It's announced
that the government has determined that no lir-
ther exchange OF prisoners shall take place I'll
the rebels agree to exchange the officers and ol'
diers of the colored regiments taken by th'm
The government is bound by the highest motal
obligations to see that this class OF our forces Il
treated In all respects like any other troops in thu
service. The rebels threatened to treat the ON
GERS as criminals and to sell the men into sla-
very, and as far as the government has been able
20 learn, they have rieidly executed the threat.
Thus, says the Washington Star, nothing what.
ever has been aseertaines OF the late OF such OF
our officers commanding colored troops as were
captured at Mlhken's Bend, Charleston and
Sabine Pass. Ifalye, the rebel authorities have
them somewhere lmmured in secret dungeons,
not even having pretended to bring them to pub
lie trial under their State laws. But the I'M
p,ession is irresistible that they have been mur-
/ dered. as no traces Of them can be found. so,
also, is it clear that our colored soldiers captured
/ by them have shared the same fate, or been re-
duced to slavery, the latter being most probable.
Tho President has ordered that the stern law
of retaliation shall without hesitation be en-
forced, to eyenge the death Of the first Union
soldier OF whatever color whom the enemy shall
in cold blood destroy, or soil into slavery.

Some of the boys said if the Colonel would only

they need not have occurred at all on the oeca-

INTERESTING FROM ALABAMA.-A gentleman
who recently arrived in Vcksburg from Selma,
Alabama, where he had been employed in the
arsenal which was removed some time since from
Jackson, Mississippi gives the following account
Of affairs in Alabama
Since the fall of Vicksburg over thirty thou
sand muskets we're brought to the arsenal for
renovation, having been collected in the woods
and country from Jackson TO Meridian and be-
yond, where they had been thrown away from
time to time by desertes from Bragg's and
Pem5erton's armies Twenty-Five thousand
Austrian and Enfield ihes have reen received at
the arsenal from Charleston, having run the
blockade, and becoming rusty in the transit, were
brought there for examination and repairs.-
Three hundred and fifty workmen are now en-.
gagged in the arsenal in repairing and remodeliug
arms, and fifty others are making cartridges and
filling shells.
The iron foundry at Selma is actively engaged
in the casting Of guns, from six.pounders to
those of l0ic bore. About three are cast
each day. A large majority Of them, however,
burst upon testing. Few can be fred over six
or eight times with safety. A majority Of the
negroes driven into the State from Mississippi
are working in the coal mines in lalladega county,
for which the rebel Government paystwenty dol
lars ton, delivered at the Alabama and Tennes-
see River Railroad, six miles distant. The peo-
pie are generally in favor Of CONSUMPTION of the
negroes. Several papers have come out in ad-
vocacy Of the abolition Of slavery, upon the
ground that emancipation would have the effect
Of gaining an earlier foreign recognition of the
Confederacy. The crops Of corn, sweet potatoes
and peas are more abundant than they have been
for several wears before.
On the 10Th Of October the bodies OF SIX men
were found hanging side by side in the woods,
near Telladega, at which place there is large
conscript camp. 1t is supposed these men we're
hanged for resistance to oonscrption.
Two women we're publicly hung at Ialadegs
on the 18th for refusing to divulge the hiding
races of their husbands, who have He'd at the
approach Of the conscrip'ing officers. A perfect
reign II terror exists in this part OF the country.
The woods are foil Of refugees trying to evade
the relentless conscriptiug officers.
All men from the age OF eighteen to iorty-tive,
regardless Of wealth or station, are conscrpted
for the Confederate army. Another consorp-
ton for State service has been made OF Toys from
sixteen to eighteen, and men from iorty-hve to
sixty, who are at all able to held up q musket,
and are not otherwise in the employment OF the
Government"
