Il DAY OF THANKSGIVING.


The President Of these United States has
issued his solemn proclamation for day
OF National Thanksgiving, Praise and
Prayer. It will at this moment-a moment
splendid with the flush Of ofvictory On sea aud
land, meet with deyout response from
every 1oyal mans heart in the nation. Most
surely we have cause to:be grateful to Him
who rules the nations, for blessings poured
upon Us with most liberal hand. Victory
has everywhere followed our banners,
Every rebel army to-day is fleeing before
OUT victorious Union legions. The Mssis-
sippi river is again opened from its source
to the Gulf Through every part Of the
southern dcminions, rebels are stunning
the wrath to come in the shape Of Federal
bayonets
Let us, therefore, upon the 9Th day Of
August next, assemble in our various places
Of worship, and pour out the ibations of
gratefu1 hearts, thathaving passed through
the furnace Of core af11iction, NC hare come
out purified; that the clouds have dispe1-
sed; that victory and peace, q once more
united people, and a happy and prosperous
country no longer belong to the prophetic
future, but to the immediate present.
Never before, since the outbreak Of this
wicked rebellion, has there been such cause
for thanksgiving as now, through the
length and breadth of the land. We be-
1ieve that fhe observance nfthe f;+t nf Ar
gust will be as general and conscientious
as the causes for it'are manifold and ap-
uronriate

The Lake Superior Mines.
The Juns products Of the Copper Mines In

perior Uiaer to be as follows:


This shows slight falling off as compared
with the past months, which ia mainly attrib-
uiable to the scarcity Of laborers, and not
iron, any decrease In richness of any of the de-
posits.
In the Plnu1x mint, ,Keewenaw district, It Is
:aid Tint an important discovery has been
made, in the vein recently opened on the
g7eenstone, and from which considerabla siI-
ycr has been taken. It has since opened be-
low (south Of the greensboro and large mass
uncovered, thnt measures twelve feet in
length, and is about eight inches In thickness,
believed that the Phoenix will have near !, 900
feet in length of this vein south Of the green
stone. In connection with the un1er1ay Of
the Amygdaloid floors or beds, this would be
sufficient for good mine.
, Recent explorations show the deposit of
Iron ore, embracing what Is known as the
St. Clair Mountain on the Esconawba River,
to be very much more extensive than was
supposed. i extends fer several miles on
each side Of the river, rises from 50 to 800 feet
above the level Of the surrounding country, is
only thirty miles from the take, aud the quail
ity Of the orc Is good, while the mines can be
easily opened and cheaply worked, as the
railroad within one year will pass up the val
ley Of the EsconaWba directly between them.
But until more vessels are engaged in this
trade, there Is no tnducement to produce iron
ore which cannot be placed tn tho lower lake
markets.
The jackson Iron Company arc erecting a
new and handsome residence for their 1piuiue
superintendent. Two fine dwellings for work
nen are in process Of building at the Cleye-
lind mine. The new furnace at Morgan is
going ahead rapidly, the stack being three
1ourths finished. Work at all the iron mines
is being vigorously prosecuted. The B. de N.

Fashions for .EuIy
From Ta Fot1et

As the season advances, doubt, which has
hitherto reigned with reference to la mode, has
given place to certainty; and we can now
speak with confidence Of the various styles,
both in material and make.
True elegance consists more than ever in
the uniformity Of toilets. Robe, bonnet, par.
aso], and even boots, must be Of the same
color. We did not, certainly, approve Of the
harlequin dresses sometimes to be seen, but
this season there is, We think, an abuse in the
contrary direction; and these costumes, SO
exactly Of the same shade, have more the ap-
pea1ance Of uniform than an elegant toilet.
However, tho lady Of taste and fashion has
the happy intuition Of wearing such toilet
ut the right time and in the ght place.
White alpacas and Light colored mohairs
are very fashionable. The robe Mexicalne, u
brown tadetas, striped with black, and the
czs1nai1s are also much in demand. Scotch
plaids Of two shades are made in all the new
materials. Muslins, organdis and all the
light materials. are only waiting the advent
Of settled weather to appear in ail their beau.

the ta1etas are more usually worn for visit
ing. White poll de cheyre, trimmed with
eo1orcd ribbons, forms o very pretty and
fresh looking toilette.
Summer dresses, IN white muslin, printed
muslin or patterned organdis, are made with
K.
with which must be worn pelesine, or d
ichu Marie Antoinette Of the came material.
The alpacas are reserved for morning dress,
The Mexicalne is trimmed With narrow
ruches OF black ta1etas and guipu.es, aud Is
suitable for walking dress. The tatfetas Of
which we hare spoken are not the foular1s
formerly eeen, but splendid materfal, rs
strong and durable as the finest tatletas gros
grain.
Flouncee are much worn. They are narrow
and placed In two or threee, never reaching
higher than the knee. As it is still the fash.
ion to raise the skirt 1t is indispensable that
the pett1coat should also have a narrow
dounce. Baregc robes, In snall designs, are
trimmed with three narrow aounces, edged
With ribbon.
The moire antique Is still worn On cold
days. This robe Ia made with five narrow
1uted frills and hounce Of lace, with deen

AT ROME AND ABROAD.

We are curious to learn how the Eng
Ish Copperhcads and the London Times
will demean themselves on receipt Of the
tidings Of Meadc's victories over Lee, and
the surrender Of Vicksburg and Port Hud-
son. They have wrought SO faithtully and
earnestly to create q public opinion IN that
country inimical to the Federal arms, and
haye made such absolute and uncondi-
tonal prophesics as to the final results Of
the war, that it will go terribly against the
grain Of the party to be compelled to swal-
low the good news for us, which tic last
mails will have conveyed to them.
It would be difficult to oyer-estimatc the
amount and the intensity of the efforts
which they have made to pre;judge the
cause and misrepresent the character of
the bitter conflict in which VIC are engaged.
All that the Confcderatcs and the aristo-
crafts could do on the one hand, and all
that our great unseen enemy, who is mas
ter Of the Times, could do On the other,
LAS been done to damage Us with the Eng
1ish people; and the certainty Of the Fed
cra1 defeat was predicted with an assur-
ance which the event SC. far does by no
means justify, and which these president
fire-cate1s will have to acknowledge,
whether they like it OF not. One thing Is
certain, that the news Of our recent victo-
ries viii throw immense discrcdit upon all
the future representations Of these, our
enemies, on the other side, and will tend
to strengthen the confidence of the liberal
party in the ultimate success Of our arms.
No one can be 80 blind rs not to see that
the fall Of the river fortresses is a deadly
blow, delivered straight at the Life Of the
Confederacy, and that the driving back Of
lie rebels from Pennsylvania, broken and
demoralized, as they confessedly are, by
