CHIEF JusrIcE. The Cincinnati En-
qairer of Saturday states, upon what it
pronounces trustworthy authority, that
the resignation of Chief Justice fancy is
now in the hands of the President. The
Enquirer also learns tina. the resignation
Of Mr.. Chase, as Secretary Of the Urea
sury, is in the Presidents hands, and
adds; Mr.. Chase will take the place of
the Chief Justice shortly after the meeting
Of Congress.
On the contrary, the Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Isaes says
there is no truth whatever in the state
ment that Secretary Chase's resignation IS
in the Presidents hands, sent in with a
view to the succession above stated.

Congress is the absorbing topic. The
Queen had received an autograph letter

Some I've iiii;iiaaadred applications have
recently been filed by rebel prisoners at
Chicago for permission TO take the oath Of
allegiance. Many OF these applicants
write in strong terms of censure against
the secession government, and state they
were drafted into the service against their
will and good Judgment. They are anx-
to take the oath, and to remain north hh
after the war. But as there. is no az
rangement al present allowing prisoners
of war to take the oath of allegiance, Their
labor is in vain.

THANgsGIvING.-By an unusual but
most fft coincidence we are snjoined by
both the national and state Executives to
observe this as a day of Thanksgiving
and Prayer. The people will most heart
lily and earnestly respond.
War is still raging, but within the past
year victories have been granted us which
ensure the final, and we believe speedy
overthrow Of treason, and the restoration
of peace with an undivided country.
Riots have been subdued, and the
North has become virtually united IN SEN
timeut upon the great questions bearing
upon the salvation Of the Republic.
Movements have been inaugurated
which promise, with the restoration of
perfect Union, also the removal of
the great source Of our national calamity
and the reign of peace with universal
freedom and consequent unparalleled en-
terprise and prosperity throughout the
nation.
Ia the midst of great civil war, our
State has been blessed with unusual pros
perity ; peace and plenty have reigned
within our own borders; our State has
feltnoue ofthe desolation which marks the
scenes Of actual national conflict.
Seldom have a people had such great
cause for sincere and heartfelt Thanksgiv-
ing to the Euler Of nations and the Dis
penser Of all bounties.
With the giving of thanks, must be re-
membered the brave soldiers of the Union,
with generous contributions through the
proper channels for their comfort; must
be remembered those who have gwen up
their lives ID defence of our government,
and their sorrowing relatives and friends
at home; must be remembered the poor
and destitute; must be remembered ma
tional and individual sins, with the prayer
that the calamities brought upon us in con-
sequence may speedily end in a peaceful
and united country.

FEMALE LABOR. The New York
Times puts in a strong plea for the en-
Iargement OF female labor. 1t says the
masculine strength frittered away in that
city, measuring tapes and keeping rib
bon boxes in order, is enough, all of itself,
to whip Bragg tout of his boots" No
doubt Of it. The Times continues
"There is no earthly reason why female
labor should be so much more contracted
here than it is in Europe. What is suita-
BILE there for female hands is suitable here.
There being far more work here in pro-
portion to the entire population, it follows
that if il were distributed here, as there,
between the sexes, all might live in com.

vessels, was a rebel mail bag ftom Eng
land. Among the letters was one ad-
dressed by Confederate agent, w. n.
Olcott, under date of London, Sept. 81,
to John II. Cooper g. Co, of Savannah.
Mr.. Olcott docs not write like man
overaushed with hope-indeed he does
not. Listen, how he opens:
" Gentlemen; A day or two after nv
arrival here | wrote you few lines, stat
ing that, owing to the fall of Vlcksburg
and retreat of Lee, confederate securities
were at avery low estimate, &C., &c. |
could not get an offer for our railroad
stocks, and am sorry to say there has
been no improvement since, and now 1.-THE
last news was of the fall of Forts Wagner
and Sumter,) they are valueless in the
market here:
And further on, he says:
. could, two weeks since, have sold
some of the bonds brought with me, but
at so great sacrifice, thought it best to re-
tam them. Have not tried Liverpool, as
learned that there are large amounts of
Confederate securities on the market.
The climate is very dSagreeable,
damp and chilly. 1t is too late to ask
you to write me, as | shall be on nav way
home before letter could reach me here,
unless very great improvement in our
affairs will enable me to negotiate our So
curitles: | see no prospect of such"
RELIGION A BAD THING FOR SLAVES.
The Richmond Wing remarks upon the
pernicious init uence which religious in
structIon has upon the slaves IN Virginia,
and, by way Of example, relates that
"Upon the last appearance of the
Yankees at fredericksburg the only ne
grees who went of with them when they
retired were those who belonged to, or
We're frequenters Of the African church
there.
"The negro Holland, noticed elsewhere,
under arrest for writing passes for slaves
to escape to the Yankees, was pillar
in an African Church in this city, and
leader in the choir. AT his room was
found a music tuning fork aud a variety
Of music and prayer books"

Prices of Newspapers in the Army.
A correspondent of the Tribune, writ
ing from the headquarters of the Army of
the Rappahannock, makes these extraor-
binary statements. eaa.-.....
A newspaper which costs at AQUA Landing
or Brooks Station $3.50 by the hundred is sold
to soldiers at $40 hundred, or ten cents apiece.
There is shameful monopoly somewhere,
which officers should stop, and thus protect
the men from being swindled. A lad on the
James Brooks sells four hundred papers per
day at ten cents apiece. This amounts to $40
He thus makes $50 per day.
Many of the small boys in the army make
$40 and $15 per day, and this comes out of the
soldier who is risking his life to earn $13 per
month. There is combination somewhere.
Gen. Hooker assures me that he knows moth
ing about this shameful monopoly. Who
does? The soldiers know about it and feel it.
I No order would be greeted with SO much
pleasure and appreciation by the soldiers in the
Potomac army, as an order compelling news
paper vendors to sell newspapers at q fair and
remunerative price. pa IS

Curious CAsE.-A little boy named
Tournain, who resides in the vicinity of Saint
Peter street, on Sunday morning, saw a dog
which had been poisoned, writhinS in the ago
mics of death. The child looked at the animal
for some time, and then went into his fathers
house, where lie was Immediately attacked
with a fit and worked in the same manner as
the dog, foaming at the mouth, &c. Medical
aid was at once procured, and the little fellow
is now doing well. This matter OF poisoning
dogs should be done with some discrimination.
If the poison be strewn broad cast on our
streets, valuable dogs, the owners of which
have complied with the law in every re-
spect are as liable to be killed as worthless
ours who never had any owners or, ifthey had,
whose owners are rs worthless as themselves.
For this reason great care should be used in
this matter. There is another matter in con-
nection with this, and that is that dogs should
be carted off at once and disposed OF, and not be
suffered to poison the atmosphere around them
for halfa day during the present hot weather.
