A Day Of Thanksgiving and
PRAYER.

The President of the United States,
has commanded Thursday the 26th inst,
to be set apart as day of thanksgiving
and prayer Our loyal" Governor has
also issued orders endorsing Mr.. Lincoln's
appeal to the prayers of the righteous.
Of course every good christian will harken
to this twofold voice of authority. You
are desired, not only to pray for n ''vigo-
rous prosecution of the war;" and a con-
tinuatlon of the irrepressible conflict, but
to thank God for the many blessings we
experienced during the past three years.
While we have much to pray for, we have
a great deal to be thankful for. We are
to be thankful that Abraham lincoln, the
ss old rail splitter Of Illinois, is still
President; that the elections have been
carried in favor of the Administration
that Generals Meade and Rosecrans have
been defeated, which resulted in a greater
victory over the copperheads of New
York We are to be thankful that while
the late draft filed the Golfers of numerous
provost marshals, that another draft Is
contemplated, which will compel more
good men to go to be slaughtered,

The best ioay to aid Vermont and all other
soldiers.
1t has been very generally reported that
Doctor Phelps, the Medical Director for
Vermont, has spoken in disapproval of the
efforts made in this State. to send supplies to
the Sanitary Commission.
4 letter from DR.. Phelps, dated April 20,
1903, with characteristic promptness and
courtesy, says explicitly on this subject -"
am now SO well convinced, that in the forma-
ton of the Auxiliary Aid Societies all will
be accomplished that can or need be done,
that believe it would be useless thing for
any other body to interfere with supplying
any aid to the soldiers that may be needed"
DR.. p. further adds My report to the
Ladies will attempt to undo any mischief that
has been done to the Commission" which
report will be published soon as the oner-
Gus duties Of the Hospital will admit.
All persons who have aided in circulating
the above mentioned rumor will remember
that one word. however irresponsible, against
benevolent effort has far more weight than a
throng Of proofs in its favor. And so reflect
ing, they will, of course, do all in their power
to coun,eract the prejudice thusaround against
the Sanitary Commission, and their respective
localities.

The refusal OF the Legislature Of Georgia
TO guaranty any portion OF the Confederate
debt will hasten the collapse of the rebel fl
nances, as it will still further knock down the
quotations for Confederate bonds abroad
These quotations, it is now apparent, we're
inflated when the loan was put upon the mar
ket, and the sudden fall has already caused a
panic among the secession sympathizers.
Without money or credit, the supplies which
have heretofore been furnished TO the rebels
by mercenary Englishmen must soon cease,
and this will hasten the downfall of tho re-
bciiion.
