The ATLANTA IN THE DEIAwARE.-The firing of :

the arrival of the rebel ram Atlanta and the steam
fngate Powhatan, which left Port Royal on Sun
day morning last The Atlanta was in tow of the
Powhatan, but steam was kept up on the iron.clad
the whole passage. From officers Of the Pow,
hatan it was aseertaned that the Atlanta, besides
being very slow, is poor sea-vessel, and would
have had to be abandoned in heavy sea. She
has a crew of 80 men and or engineers. In
appearance she is like the Merrimac, with which
most persons are familiar. She was, the blockade
runner Fngal, cut down, plated with iron four
inches wide and two inches thick, one layer Of
which is laid horizontally, the other vertically.
making thickness of four inches She is rooted
over, and lies very low in the water. The, same
armament is on board as when captured, four 7
inch Brooks rihed guns cast in the Confederacy.
I'll machinery of the Atlanta is good; her en-
ghesPis good, being of English manufacture.
She Leaks very badly, and will have to be docked
at an early day. The intentions of the Navy De-

The PRESIDENTS PRoc11aRk1zoN for day Of
Thanksgiving is Justly characterized as the finest
document that has emanated from his pen. Mr..
lincoln gives brief and comprehensive summa-
" of the condition Of the nation, showing the
progress made notwithstanding and In spite Of
the calamities of war, thus leaving it to be'in-
ferred from the facts of the strength and growth
of the republic, that the calamities must pass
away and the conflict have only one termination,
the overthrow of those who are madly but vainly
striving under the influence of the narrow views
of aristocratic selfshness and blind passion, to
destroy great country, whose greatness they
cannot understand, and whose political privileges
they are not worthy to enjoy. -
The time named by the Federal Executive for a
grateful acknowledgement of the Divine goodness
is the date usually selected in the several States
for the Harvest Festival Therefore, if no unto
ward events occur bringing temporary distress to
shadow its JOY. hallowed jubilee may be antici-
.pated throughout the loyal land.

TO THE
EVENING PAPERS,

From the Arn,y-- Rebel officers Declare Peace
Near at Hand.
New YORK, Sept. s.
The Tribune's Headquarters Army of the
Potomac dispatch OF the Sth, says Colonel N.
G. Hill of the rebel army recently sent word
across the Rappahannock from Fredericksburg
that he wished to see an officer of our army.
His wish being made known to Gen "Custer,"
the General himself crossed. The motive Of
Col. Hills request was to make inquiries re-
spectlng Gen. Gregg, with whom he was once
classnate and intimate friend. Gen. Custer
received a note from Col. Hill to Gen. Gregg,
which was forwarded. Col. Hill remarked
confdentially to Gen. Custer that peace was
near at hand. This assertion was also volun-
tarily made by two rebel officers in the boat
which conveyed Gen. Custer, and by others
OH shore. On being asked the reason OF their
supposition they would not communicate it,
simply reiterating their opinion. Col. Hill
would not state what command he was con-
nected with, but appeared to be staff officer
At least one thousand cavalry and infantry
frour the rebel army tfronged about the wharf
as spectators when Gen. Custer landed His
reception by the officers was exceedingly cor
dial. Notwithstanding these anticipations of
peace, the rebels expected another battle near
Culpepper They do not anticipate attacking
us, but presumed we, strengthened by con-
scripts, would speedily assume the offensive.
Gen. Lee is yet in Richmond.
Great amicablity exists between our pickets
and those OF the enemy. Yesterday about one
hundred men belong to both armies .bathed
together in the Rappahannock.

night.
Each Ward will make such arrangements
for the election, as may be deemed necessary
to ensure full Union vote on Monday next
