Nevada Territory, Nov 18th, 1868.
THE ROLLING YEAR HAS REACHED
i that point where harvest has succeeded seed
time, and the husbandman has filled his grapa-
ries with the rich products of the earth. Spring
time and Summer has given place to Autumn;
The reaper has gathered bis promised reward and
his heart is filed with thsnkfulness to the gver Of
all good things. The Miner has gathered his rich
harvest of the precious metals-his Golfers are
filled to overHowing and his heart is swelling
with gratitude 10 kind Providence for His good!
ness to him. The Mechanic, as the chill winds
approach, looks around him with grateful heart
and beholds as the result of his well rewarded
labor plenty and comfort surrounding himself
and family The Merchant, as he counts bis
gains, can but be thankful that he has been pros.
pered in bis business. All Of the honorable pro.
fessions have been well rewarded and encouraged.
Plenty sits smiling before them. The unparRl.
leled success of this Territory in all departments
of it's material interest demands grateful &C.
knowledgment Rt the hands of an appreciatiye
people especially ought this people to be thank.
full for their political progress. To-day they arc
casting off the garments of infancy and assum-
ing the garb of maturity. Born as we were In
Revolution, our progress is the more marked and
providential Notwithstanding our infancy has
passed on the surging pillows of Revolution, our
frail bark has been SO guided and directed as to
anchor safely in the haven Of the Union and Con-
stituton, and clasp hands with our sister States
as an equal clothed in the silver mantle OF hhal
affection, thick inlaid with gold. UnboundesS
thankfulness from US to the Power that has so
shaped Our destinies by giving wisdom to our ma
tonal rulers, strength to our armies, power to
our navy, skill to. our officers, courage to our
troops iote of country to our people, as to make
them mighty against treason, and irresistible IN
defense Of Republican institutions-the choicest
pif to man-earth's richest inheritance. How
nnspeakably thankful ought we TO be that the
mower OF the traitor is broken that the wand OF
the usufper is powerless against the eagle eye Oh
Liberty. Thankful that the honors of war are TO
give place to the beauties of peace. Thankful
that out of the fiery furnace of insurfection and
rebelliou comes unframed the eternal principle OF
seIf. .eoyernment-to establish which countless
thousands have offered up their lives Thankful
for the teachings of this unnatural struggle tnat
a nation that has once tasted the sweets OF Civil
Liberty cannot be enslated or made to drink the
bitter cup of seryitude. .L .,.L
In order to uniformity, and In accordance WIN
the Presidents Proclamation, and that we may
witness the sublime spectacle of great and pow
eeful natien bowed in thankfulness before rue
God of the Universe and In vfety OF the innu-
Snosohie seasons for especial thapkfulness, l..
