FROM WARRINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. n, 1865.
Thanksgiving Day Was, as is usual, a
beautiful one, day to be thankful for on
its own account, for its purity of atmos-
phere, and IMMIGRATION Of temperature
Every body enjoyed it and a majority Of
our people spent much of the day in the
open air. In some of the pulpits OF the
city, I regret to say, the happy occasion
was spotted and married by the introduction
of topics and the exhibition of spirit
very foreign to that which should inspire
the children Of Bountiful Parent when
gathered to thank Him for his most era
cious mercies-I am sorry to say that here
and there politics were logged in by preach
ers, politics too that snuffad of the
birthstone of the bottomless pit rather
than of the balmy sweetness of Gods fair
creation. and infinitely eminate from the
celestial airs of that boiler and happier
state towards which such ministers" as.
sumo to guide US Of course these eeclesi
astical politicians and pulpit drum heaters
spoke in the Abolition interest, and told
their hearers how surely the "isms" they
profess are to triumph over all other opin-
obs; how that after the slavery" of the
South ia annihlated these same lights of
the world are going to carry fire and sword
over the fields and through the cities OF
Old Europe, putting down "aristoracy"
and whatever else might not be to their
taste Well, | am no particular friend to
arlstocracy or monarchy anywhere, and if
these Abolition Peter the Hermit, will
only "begin at home" and commence their
labors by pulling up the young sprouts of
aristocracy, of military despotism, and
selfelective tyranny that have latteriy sprang
up so numerously under cur very nose, do
not know but may give them some of my
assistance, or at least my sympathy. But
to 20 so far off as tLey propose will only
have thu cfftc: of leaving the same, or
greater mischiefs to flourish in dangerous
luxury at home.
Notwithstanding what has been said pro
and con as to the occult causes of the stop
page of exchanges between the Federal and
Confederate Commissioners, we now have it
officially that the "nigger in the wood pile"
was the true cause after all The Solicitor
of the War Department admits this in di
rect terms. never thought anything else,
and it ia this same "nigger" that has, BY the
fanatical perverseness OF our temporary
rulers, caused delays, reverses, and expendi
lures of blood and money enough to have
put an end to two such wars As this would
have been, but for this single drawback
The news from Chattanooga looks dresry
for the secession cause, aud if confirmed, as
seems most likely, is the blow In the bread
basket of rebellion 1t cannot he denied
that Gen. Grant stands very near the head
Of our military commanders. and such is his
prestige that We naturally expect he will
carry his point. Great results must flow
from the bold aud brilliant operations nn-
der this able and fortunate leader
Late news from the army e the Potomac

Meade ar ~, bu, doubt if Lee will fight
him except ct decided advantage. The

army as much as it must dispirit the enemy.
they must think little nf their cause with
no nope from Euro. Z and their strongholds

point. Yours, &c
