HAULING OFF.--The approach Of snow
The Grand Haven news. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1858-18??, 1863-12-16
PRAYER FOR PEACE,

-
The deadly animosities which this war
has awakened may be seen in the recep-
ton which is given to the proposal of the
Catholic Archbishops TO devote the first
three weeks of December to prayer that
peace may be restored to the country.
So embittered have the respective parties
become that they will not stand together
upon the neutral ground Of Christianity,
nor will they drop their bloody differences
even in the dread presence of Jehovah.
In the Sanctum Sanctorum-the very
Holy of Holies-these troubles are taken,
and there carried on with as little regard
to the place as if it were grog-shop.
1t was proposed that the three weeks
of this month should be devoted to pray
ers for peace-that sinful men should
humbly and reverently approach the
throne of Supreme Justice, and ask that
It's Monarch would be pleased to take
compassion upon our suferings and re-
store us to such tranquility as He in His
omniscience and eternal benevoleuce sho'd
deem best.
But no-the fanatics of the respective
sections are not satisfied to leave the ques-
ton with the wisdom and justice of God.
They propose TO instruct Him how to set
tie the matter, under the presumption, it
must be, that he is not sufficiently inform
ed as to the merits of the controversy,
and that, without their blasphemous APP
peals and explanations, he would not be
prepared TO do justice to the beIligerents.
The Beechers Of the northern pulpits are
praying for peace, by asking Deity to
smite tho unrighteous Confederacy, while
the McGiIls of the southern churches are
praying for peace by asking God to de-
feat their enemies and recognize the indie
pendence of the Confederacy. Says the
Richmond Enquirer:
"On the contrary the clergy's petit
ton will be that our hearts may be inspir-
cd with unfaltering resolution, selfsacri-
iicing and heroic patriotism, the spirit new
or to submit or yield, that our arms may
be strong, and our weapons keen, and our
aim uniaiing, and our soldiers eager to
meet the foe in the just cause of freedom
and country. So shall the God of Bat
ties bless our starry flag, and the hosts Of
the heather Yankee be rolled back with
slaughter and shame. Then let peace
come and stay"
Moses took of his sandals when he
stood in the presence of the Burning
Bush because he was upon holy ground
Not so with the Moseses Of the North
and South; booted and spurred, they
strut into Heaven, and, with the rattle OF
sabre and musllet, carry on their SQUAD
blcs in the immediate presence ofthe Eter-
nal Judge.
This is not the true spirit. If we are
to devote the three weeks Of this month to
prayer for peace, let us do it as intelligent
beings. Let us humble ourselves before
Goblet us confess our sins and ask for
the lifting of the heavy weight Of His di-
vine displeasure, and let US entreat of
Him TO bring us speedy peace in such a
manner as His supreme wisdom may
think best for this unhappy people CAi-
cage Times.

TIE Springfield Republican says:

"Somehow our radical friends, who
have been denouncing the Constitution
for the last quarter of a century as Gov
enant with death and an agreement with
hell" seem to have got the idea that the
war has abolished the Constitution. The
rebels think so too. Both arc mistaken.
The Constitution still lives, and will not
only survive this war, but bids fair to
stand for some blessed centuries of nation
al peace and prosperity yet to come"

HAULING OFF.-The approach Of snow
and ice, cold and stormy weather,
has caused the Milwaukee steamers to
seek winter quarters. The MilOaukee

The Detroit is to make few trips more
when she will follow the example of her
sister.
The Company have engaged two fine

Cushman, to take the places of the
steamers, which will run as often as wind
and weather will allow, carrying freight
and passengers, having superior accom-
modations. The travelling community
will find it a cheap, pleasant, and profta-
bic way to Milwaukee and Chicago.

Efs' The CigHian pours out its walls
of wrath almost exclusively upon our
candidate for Senator. Mr.. Harris no.
bic and patriotic course has been con
slant and effectua rebuke TO such maliy
nant parlizans as RoszELL, and they hate
him with an JUNCTION. This, in RoszELL's
case, has been heightened by the
severe castigation which Mr.. HART has
given him in their various meetings up
on the stump. There is no question bul
what Mr.. HART is to be the particular
target for these traitors abuse. To de
feat him will be the point at which they
will mainly aim. They would rather
have had him defeated for nomination
than anything else that could happen ex
cept his defeat in tie election. Failing
in the first they will now direct their at
tention persistently to the last. But we
warn them that they might as well give
up the undertaking. The Union men Of
this county don't intend that the Cop
perheads shall have single grain Of com
fort left after the 18Th of October, and
they intend to give Mr.. Hart such a
majority as 10 show that they have a
particular appreciation for that patriot
ism which excites the special animosity
OF our home traitors. So fire away,
Cops-do your prettiest. Mr.. HART
majority will be the greater for every
effort of yours against him.

Fence the Court House.

Ip- We sincerely hope the Board Ct
Supervisors, now in session, will take
some measures looking to the fencing OF
the Court House grounds. Not a tree
or shrub can be planted about it to or
nament the public grounds, until this is
done, and year after year is slipping
away that should be most profilably i'm
proved in this connection. Had the
ground been fenced, and trees planted,
when the house was first erected, we
should now have delightful grove in
which to hold our public meetings, when
too large for the hall. We should also
have lllle credit for taste and enter
prise, which now we fail to get. The
work will have TO be done some day.

EF The ClUilion, speaking of our
candidate for Treasurer and Recorder,
b. b. OLDER, calls him "a very clever
fellow" He certainly is all that, and it
is qualification which is very essential
for County Treasurer. Courtesy,
clear headedness, promptness aud cor
rectness in business, is what is absolute.
ly necessary for the position of Treasur-
er. The officer who does not possess
these qualifications. in that position,
would soon find himself hopelessly and
inextricably involved in difficulty, would
soon have the public accounts in confus-
ion, his bail involved in his mistakes,
and his own life worried out of him. if
he had any sensitiveness of disposition.
Either that, or the county must consent
TO furnish him another clerk to make
good his deficiencies. Mr.. OLDER has
all these qualifications, and in greater
degree than almost any other man in the
county. His promptness and capacity
will save the county a good deal in the
way of clerk hire, and lie is unqueslion-
ably just the " clever fellow" which The
people of Buchanan County need for
Treasurer.

possible motive, FOR instance, could they
have had in nominating Captain j. NJ

former hearty denuucialion of them and

ment imagine that they do. And yet it
is not improbable that they will let the
Copperhead managers succeed in the
very game they have concocted There
is one thing, in our opinion, as certain
as fate, that the man who permits him
self TO be associated, these times, with
the men who lead this Copperhead fac
ton, will bury himself far beyond the
possibility Of political resurrection, no
matter what his former services have
been. or what his present professions
may be.

for instance, can be more unblushirg in
its falsehood, than the following, from

The immense disunon meeting, so long ad-

Kirkwood, alias " Dirty SAM" appeared alone
in his glory The streets were about as live

have known that anything unusual was going
on unless they happened to pass the Court

And this in the face ofnearly or quite
1000 witnesses TO testify that that gath.

ever held in the County. What amount
of selfrespect can a man have to lie
