The Summer campaign against the Indians has been failure from lack of supplies and adequate force. Most of the troops that have been on duty here are on their way to Fort Kesrney to bs mustered out. The 9th Mich. igan Cav. went east yesterday, It is probable that the Indians will infest the road in small bands the same as they did last season.

Thanksgiving.

To-day We celebrate our annual and memor- able New England Thanksgiving, delayed a week after the usual time to accommodate the Presidents Proclamation. The occasion is one of unprecedented interest, and will proba- bly, be more universally and appropriately ob- served than any former anniversary, since our forefathers first conscreated the day to grati- tude and praise. Within the past year the war that had filled our country with mourning has been terminated, leaving our nation purged of slavery, established more firmly in justice. con 6rmed in the affections of it's subjects and the respect of it's neighbors. Plentiful harvests. healthful seasons and abundant soclal prosper ity have visited us. Many seats, vacant year ago, are filled to-day with returned heroes.- Many others will always stand silent remind ers-of the brave and true who have fallen, but whom the world will not willingly let die.'
 Only those whose wicked plots of rebellion have been overthrown and those whose sympa- thies and prayers have encouraged treason. can fail tp rejoice in this day, when our national union has been restored, our national authority vindicated. our national prosperity assured.- Let all others spend the day in social reunion, in glad thanksgiving, and in praise to God for Q continuance of His blessings.
 But in our festivities and rejoicing, let us not forget the poor whom we have always with us. Let this be day not only of thanksgiving, but of thank-oferiugs. Apropos to th,s the Amer ican Freedmens Aid Commission have issued an urgent appeal to pastors of churches who have not yet provided an object for their con tributions on the day of Thanksgiving. to de. vote them to the objects of the commission They represent that, without immediate sQd ef- Hcient aid, seventy thousand freedmen are like ly to perish, this. winter in Georgia and Ala a----2 .--s -~P~ = ss~1sps their rolief will ho taken ;n thsa Ccuntv
