Union Thanksgiving Hymn.
Tune:-AmsrioA.
For the Cleveland Leadtr.I
Our country hail to thee.
Birthplace Of liberty,
Whose altars blaze
With patriotic zeal
10 hearts as tras as steel
Wen show the Low We feel,
And shout thy praise.
Our nations hag shall wave
O'trfresmsn true and brave
Till time shall fail.
Ring ont your loud huZzas,
Shoat EJr the stripes and staTsi
Hail, hail our righteous cause,
Fair freedom, hail
Oar country, may she stand
mountain firm and grand
md stormy skies
And when ths storm is Ger,
Firmer and higher soar,
More glorious than before,
Victorious risel
The God of Peace will reign,
Aud bless our land again.
&c will reit7re
Respect for liberty,
Union and equity,
Peace and pro, peTity
Forever more.
Our prayers and praise shall riGs
Like ineen to the skies
To Thee, Al Just.
Good tidings greet our ears,
Now Unions appears,
And while Hope smiles and cheers,
"In God we'll trust
This day will be quite universally set
apart to public thanksgiving to God, for the
great victories which have recently crown
ed the National armies in their efforts TO
put down the wicked rebellion which has,
for four terrible years, been scourging and
wasting the whole land, and it will be de-
voted also to the divers secular modes of
celebrating the same, which may be sug
gested.
PROGRAMME.
There has been NO general plan fixed
upon, SO far as we have been able to learn,
for the celebration of this day. At nine
o'clock this morning salute will be fred
by the Brooklyn Battery, on the Public
Square. At half past ten O'Clock there will
be religious services in the various churches.
A Union thanksgiving meeting of several
of the churches will be held in the First
Presbyterian Church. R5v. ]. A. Thome
will preach in his church on Detroit street,
West Side, a sermon on the "Raising Of the
Flag on Fort Sumter"
The celebration in the after part of the
day and evening, we presume, will be
miscellaneous affair, consisting of cannon
firing, music, speeches, bOnhres and other
pyrotechnic displays.
Business, we trust, will be universally
suspended. We have already noticed the
fact that the Banks and Banking Houses of
the city will be closed to-day, and that the
Board of Trade will not be in session, nor
will the places of business of the members
thereof be open during the day. We hope
that the good example set by these substan-
tial business men, will be generally follow
ed. In view of the glorious result of the
war and the near approach of firm, honor
able and lasting peace. who cannot afford to
give one day to the celebration of the grand
National triumph, which is alike the tri-
umph of civilization and universal free
dom?
A real ghost can be seen at the Academy

While heavy SHOWS have prevailed in the |
upper country, the ice is comparatively
light, and it is believed that by May 1st g
passage may be effected through to Lake
Superior. The positive information, how
ever, concerning the state Of the ice in
Sault River, is rather mesgre, It is be-
lieved that boats will not be able to get into
Portage Lake before the middle of May.
