you that yon may dispense with your fears.
The fact oil his being backward and very

He will be received into my school aad as
kindly treated as though he belonged 10 my

his being from the South will not ultimately
make him much more popular than he
would be If be we're from the North. Be-
cause there is an openness and canGor about

a PROCLAMATION.
FOR
DAY OF THANKSGIVING ANDPRAIsE


Thereturn of the closing year, fraught with
innumerable blessings, invites US again with
prayer and thanks to acknowledge before the
Author of them all, our multiplied obligations
for His loving kindness. Ns
I do, therefore, with the advice of the Execu-
tive Council, appoint THURSDAY, THE SEW
ENTH DAY OF DECEMBER NEXT, to be set apart
as q day of Thanksgiving and Praise to AL
mighty God, to be observed in this State with
the solemnities usual and appropriate to the
occasion.
The clarion of war no longer summons our
country to arms; no more does anxious fear
cause the mothers heart to beat quickly as she
thinks and prays for the child of her love. ex-
posed to the perils of battle; no longer do the
sons of our people wait, in dread expectancy,
the call which may snatch them forever from
the homes and fresides around which their af-
fections cluster, to join the nations embattled
hosts. The confiictin which our beloved coun-
try has been engaged in the dreary years that
are gone, is end d, and Heaven-born Peace
again smiles upon us. The fathers, the broth
ers and sons of our State are fast returning to
their dear ones, no more, let it be hoped, to be
summoned to mortal strife.
For these great and special blessings let us
praise the name OF God.
The memories of the glorious dead who have
persisted that their country might live LEFT us
cherish with the tenderest affection, and while
we bedew their graves with our tears NAV our
thanks go up to the Almighty, who gave them
to US and inspired them with courage and for
titude for the sacrifice.
The salvation Of the nation; the enfranchise-
ment of the oppressed; the prosperity of our
State; the fruitful harvests, the gift of His
bounteous hand; the exemption from mortal
plaques; the privileges of education and the
holy religion Of the Savior, all call upon Us to
give praise to God in the Highest.
Let us therefore, sharing our abundance with
the needy on the day appointed, bring to the al
tar and table, the incense of grateful hearts
Given at the Council Chamber, Augusta, this,
