Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1864-12-01


Church last Thursday, ut which the dcsci
pies Of the now Theology thanked God fol
the desolations of war and joined, substan
italy, in thank sgiying and praise for the re
election Of the widow maker. Rcvs. AN
DERsoN, PAINTER and SpARR, ministers Of
the new gospel which teaches war and blood.
shed in contradistinction to the doctrine Of
Peace on earth and good will TO men
taught by the meek and lowly SAVIOR, wcrC
masters Of ceremonies.
No prayer was made, no cntrcaty Offered
for the restoration of the Union as oui
Fathers made it. No petition was givcr
for peace upon the basis Of Il restored Union
GoD was not asked to correct the hearts o
the rebels and turn their footsteps in tn,
paths of rectitude He was not entreatet
to convict them of wickcdness and inclin,
them to righteousness. Nothing of til,
kind. The burden of their songs was war
and their cry was for determination Th,
seeds which they scattered were the seeds o
contention and strife, of desolation and mur
der, of malice and hatred and the only
harvest to be expected is that of disunion
disscntion, new made graves, broken famil.
ties, disregarded laws, weeping widows
fatherless children, insupportabe taxation
unextinguishablc debt and general political
moral agd financial ruin.
We have paid'such disciples of malice an,
hate the last dollar they will obtain from us
If they succeed in rendering hopeless tn
unity, peace and happiness of this bleeding
and distracted country it shall be no fault o
ours.
New CASTLE GAZETTE We have re
ccived copy Of the New Castle (Pa.) Ga.
eette asking an exchange. Twenty-one year
ago, in connection with another boy, we de
sired to accumulate dollar or two, whicl
was then big pile for us, and to accomplish
this we published paper for three months
about by 10 in size. We then asked al
exchange of the Gazette, but instead o
granting our request it read us lecture OF
the presumption and impudence of print
err devils. The Gazette was neutral then
now it is Democratic. 1t is a missionar,
among the heathen-the region round abou
New Castle being continuation of the Obi,
Western Reserve. Such laborers should b,
encouraged. They are like the diamond il
the sandy shore, or the fountain in th
desert, OF IKE a ray of light penetrating
cavern. We will book you, M. Gazette
and forgive the old grudge, and our praye
is that you may be Instrumental in convert
ing many souls from the damnable heresie
of Abolitionsm.
HINTS FOR THE SEAsoN.-Cold weathe
is upon us, promising winter of unusua
length sAd great severity. The prices Of al
articles of living are at height which make
them almost beyond the reach Of the poore
classes There must, Of necessity, during
such a long winter, be an enormous amt un
of suffering, which can only be aleyiated b.
charity While, therefore, it is we'll enoug1
to send our soldiers thanksgiving dinner
and other luxuries, it should not be forgot
ten that there is large field for the effort
of benevolence at home. Our soldiers ar
supported by Uncle Sam, while many of on
poor people will have to depend upon Pro,
idcncc. Even with greenbacks at the
present value, reliancc upon the former
fort.
Our ladies should interest themselves
the matter. The soldiers will not suffc
without aid, while great nr,ny poor peopl
will. The latter have at the present mon
ent, the largest claim upon the efforts {
philanthropy. Let Our women take hold {
the affair. A young lady is never workin
half so hard for good husband as whe
sire is engaged as the almoner of charity
while IA married lady appears to much be,
ter advantage in hunting among the peopl
for cases Of destitution, starvation and sick
ness, than she does in gossiping with Mrs
Boobies over the last new fashion, the late,
scandal, or presiding over a table Of mercf
andise for the benefit of soldiers and freed
men.
