!. DAY oF THANKSGIVING.

1t will he seen in our columns of to-day we
publish the Presidents Proclamation for day
Of thanksgiving and prayer to God for the nu-
merous blessings Of the past year. That we
should reverence this day and keep it faithful
ly is eminently fit and proper. The heart of
the American people is thankful, but we need
an outward, practical expression of this thank
fulness to Almighty God for His goodness in
our days of woe and of darkness. To thank
Him for his tenderness in bringing US through
a war SO terrible, for his ever watchful care is
our duty. ff@tf
We have expressed our reverence for the brave
soldier, and our appreciation for our noble war
riors but this is not thanks to God. We have
performed our duty, somewhat, in making the
widows and orphans more comfortable. This
we owe to them. They have been deprived
their support by the demands and necessities
OF the country, but this is not Thanking God.
Let MS on the first Thursday of December give
snch expression to our feelings as shall in a be-
hitting manner thank our Heavenly Father for
the enumerable blessings he has bestowed upon
us, andfor his tender care of our beloved and
cherished country. t+t COS

One of the merry wives of Bloomington,
Indiana, played practical joke on her
husband, by having their babe, sweet
little infant of six months, done up in a
basket and left on the front door steps,
with note informing him that he was the
father of the child andzmust support it,
The indignant husband dsswore roundly that
it was not his, but finally saw the joke
when he found the cradle empty. He has
concluded to cultivate the acquaintance of
his family hereafter.

|. BITrbE PIECE OF SECRET HISTORY.

Mr.. Montgomery Blair has published in
Washington letter, from which we get at
another reason for the sudden order of JEFF.
Davis TO Beauregard to open on Fort Sum
ter. General, then Colonel, Lee, it seems,
was offered the command of the armies of.
the Union. He hesitated. Mr.. Blair.
writes: ~ s
y NY father was authorized by the President
and Mr.. Cameron, secretary of War, to converse
with General Lee and ascertain whether he
would accept the command of our army in the
field. The latter was written for, and he met
my father at my house, where they conversed
for an hour or more 1t was few days before
the ordinance was passed. Gen. Lee concluded
the conversation by saying secession was anar-
chy, and, added. if he owned the four million
slaves in the South he would cheerfully sacri-
fee them to the Union; but he did not know
how he could draw his sword on his native
state. He said he would see General Scott on
the subject before he decided" a
But he was caught up by some Virginia friends,
who lay in wait for him. and did not get to see
General Scott: r--- r{f
"A committee from the Virginia convention,
while the General and my father conversed, were
hunting for him through the city. They met
on his leaving the house. He repaired with
them, to consult with the convention, as i have
since learned, about some mode of settlement.
The secessionists on this committee,
who were determined to have no settle
ment, and were also anxious to secure Lee,
say that action was necessary, and tele-
graphed to that effect to the rebel leaders.
The result was Davis's order to open fire ON
Sumter; and that crazy y-headed old hanger
on of Calhoun, Edmund Ruffin, of Virgin
la, fired the first gun. As Lees Virginia
confdants foresaw, he went over imrnedi-
ately. Gen. Scott and General Thomas,
who are also Virginans, did not go over to
the enemies of their country. Neither
did General Philip st. George Cooke
Neither did General John W. Davidson,
nor General L. p. Graham, nor General
William Hays, nor General John Newton,
all of whom were Virginians by birth and
education Nor did scores of other officers
of lower rank, all Virginians, and all faith
full to the Union. But Edmund Ruffin's
first gun brought down Lee-as his last
gun brought down himself.

TRIAL OF JEFF. DAVIS.

II has been determined that JEFF. Davis shall
soon be arraigned before the United States Su-
perior Court at Washington, or Richmond, on
an Indictment for high treason. The theory of
the prosecution is that he committed treason
as United States Senator-the term for which
he was elected not having expired when be COM
mitted treason. Attorney General Speed, as
sisted by late Attorney General Clifford of
Massachuset, Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts of New
York, and Maj. Gen. L. H. Rousseau of Ken
lucky will conduct the prosecution. jeff. Da-
Wis will defend himself, assisted by John O'Con-
nor of New York, and one or two lawyers of les
ser note. Chief Justice Chase will preside over
the Court. The trial will take place probably

The logic Of events" is asserting its mastery
yariously in the South. Although a few rsbid
Southern pro-slavery organs are very much
distressed sboutthe loss of slave labor, none of
them are desirous of losing the black popula-
tion. They argue feebly that negroes will not
work, except ON compulsion, but they admit
that they do work, and work well, when they
are properly paid and well treated. We have
yet to see Southern paper that desires to drive
the negro population from the South. The best
of them deplore the lack of laborers, and regret
that there are not more negroes to work. John
@. Breckiuridge used TO have fancy fefmulsry
Of words, which he styled the "inexorable logic
of eventsP-and the South begins to appreci-
ate it. In the language of Edmond Dantes,
'let us wait and hope"

SOLDIERS AND GOvERNMENT LANDS.

An impression prevails somewhat extensive
ly that all soldiers who have been honorably
discharged are entitled to one hundred and six
ty acres of land as a Government bounty. This
is mistake. Any person, soldier or not, eau
have that amount by any actualsettlement there.
Of and remaining for five years, at only the cost
ofentry, survey, &c. This right is acquired un-
der the Homestead Law, and is not based on
military service. 1t is designed to provide a
home for every industrious citizen, and to en-
courage the settlement of the unOccupied terri
tory of the Government. 1t may be that Con-
gress will make special provisions of lands for
the soldiers, but if 50, actual settlement will
most probably be condition, whatever other
advantages are offered. t. 500.

A correspondent of lie CdnGdien imparts the
following paragraph: The children of Jeffer-
son Davis have been for some time in Canada,
as is well known. The two boys are Just now
in Ohambly, and about to enter Lennoxville
College. The young girl, nine years of age, is
pupil at the convent of the Sacred Heart,
Sault-an- -Recollects. Last Sabbath several
Southern refugees went to see her. They
brought with them the Federal General Coch-
rane, whom they introduced to the girl, telling
her that he was friend of the Southern cause
although circumstances constrained him to fight
in the ranks Of its enemies. The child, looking
to the General, answered a shall believe that
you are one of the friends of our cause when
you shall obtained the release of my father -
The General was deeply moved with this an
swer and promised the child to use all his in
fuence on behalf of Mr.. jefferson Davis. Gen.
Cochrane, who, believe, occupies an official
position in the United States, visited yesterday
the magnificent establishment of the Hotel
Dieu. He was SO highly pleased with his visit
that he begged leave from the good sisters to
present them with apicture for their church,
which he is to forward from New York,

&c Secretary MoCULLooH has stated to his friends
that he intends to lay before Congress a policy
for contracting the currency. The evils ofinfa-
tion he has generalized in SO forcible manner
that his sterdfast opposition to any further ex-
pansion is settled. Further initiation must be
stopped before we can enter upon contraction.
To this extent it seems to us the Secretary will
have the support of all the intelligence Of the
country, although all may not agree as to the
rate or way Of the ulterior contraction. That
may be left to subsequent consideration while
all unite with him toput limit to further ex-
pansiOn Circulation is not vital to the banks,
it is only an additional means of profit. AT this
time it is not public convenience snd its in
cacase would be great public injury.

OHIO SOLDIERS.
On the last day of the adjourned session
of the late General Assembly, resolution
was passed directing the Governor to pro-
cure and solicit propositions for designs of
suitable medals, as tokens to the officers
and soldiers of Ohio, who have served in
the service of the United States, and re-
port said design TO the next General As
sembly for approval and adoption; the
medals to be of five different kinds, as fol-
lows
First-For the officers and soldiers of
regular and volunteer army honorably dis
charged from the service.
Second-For the officers and soldiers
who have been killed in battle.
THrd-For the officers and soldiers
who have died of wounds received in bat
tie. g., -.Hsf 4
Fourth-For the officers and soldiers
who have died from disease contracted in
the service.
FJM-For the officers and soldiers who
have served in the hundred days service.
In accordance with these instructions,
Adjutant General Cowen has procured
from the celebrated house ofTiffany & Co.,
of New York, beautiful and unique designs
of medals, which he will transmit to the
General Assembly in January next. That
our readers may have good conception
of these works of art, which are equal in
execution to the famous Waterloo medal,
we give below brief description of them :
No For the honorably discharged
soldiers, the design is bronze medal rep
resenting Ohio personifed, crowning her
soldiers with laurel wreaths. Each arm
of the service is designated, i. e. cavalry
artillery and infantry, also one officer which
will stand for either branch. In the back
ground the buckeye and wheat of the
State arms. The medal is pendant by
monogram U. S. from the scroll bearing
the words "Honorably Discharged" and

of Ohio and Glory.
