Owing to the int5n lyzcold weather on
Tuesday last. bu: few persons were IN az
tendance upon the meeting VI was adj
vertised to come off in Lcon1 ltown on
that day. The object for which the
meeting was called, however, will not be
abandoned, we learn, but will De car

we think, upon reflection, will be the pre-
ferable mode of accomplishing the pur-
pose in view. 1t is important, however,
that the districts should cooperate to-
gether and 90 to work at once. The
object is to obtain the signatures OF
the qualified voters of the county to

two or three canvassers appointed to CAN

Ig Joshua Hill, the veteran Unionist
of Georgia, when he was at Washington
recently, is reported to have stated as an
important fact in the history of secession
in his State. that the Union men of the
Gaoro;a State Convention hell the State
from the vortex of secession until Mr.,
Toonlbs came into the capitol with the n.

\ FORTHCOMING PRoCLAMATICN.-T
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
rStr, says:
The country will hear With great sat
isfaction that the President intends to issue
his proclamation declaring that the States
lately in rebellion are restored to the IN
ion, and entitled to recognition as loyal
States, It's soon as the process of State re-
hahilitation, now going on 50 successfully,
should be completed. Texas and Florida
are passing through the stages necessary
for their organization as States. " hen the
President shall be enabled to turn the pro-
yisional government of those States over
to the governors elected by the people,
he will issue the proclamation ofrestoratlon-
1t will be hailed with JOY by the people
throughout the country, and it cannot tall
ia exert some influence over the policy of
Congress.
After this proclamation it may be sup
posed that no obstacle will : remain to the
admission of Southern numbers, unless,
in Iced, it be dete m ncd by the republl-
can majority to keep the lately rebel
States out of the Union, under territorial
or military governments until certain
constitutional amendments be agreed to,
and certain Legislative measures be adop-
ted"

REPORTING INDECENT TRIAL s.-There
are of course great many different ~ :
tions of the proper mode of conducting q
newspaper that goes into the family circle
and which, to large extent, edueates It's
readers for good or for evil. THIS any
one can understand, for people differ even
about matters of religious practice. But
We never could understand how respeeta-
bic men in decent standing IN society can
reconcile it with any kind of sense OF duty
to eli their newspapers with the indecent
details Of divorce suits and GRIM, con- trials.
| For five or six weeks past number OF
the New York journals. of large circulation
and intusnce, have had from three to SIX
columns daily of such matter, growing out
Of suit for divorce between 4 man nam
ed Strong and his wife. The particulars
were of the most disgusting and demora-
lizins description, and such as could not
be read by young people without doing
damage, or by old persons without regret
ting that respectable men should make such
conspicuous parade of such nauseous stuff.
There are family troubles and disgraces
that should be kept within :he family cir
Gle, which must be endured because they
cannot be cured, and this Strong case was
full of troubles and disgraces of that kind.
But whenever the parties are so unwise or
so wicked as to expose them unnecessarily
in public trials, newspapers that 60 into
the family circle should rigidly exclude
the indecent and mischievous particulars
from theft columns, and not make parade
of them, as these New York journals did

"THaNKsGIvING' IN ALAB,MA.-They
wanted to give thanks in Alabama, in ac-
cordance with the Presidents proclama-
ton, it would seem but the following,
from the Montgomery Nal of the 9th,
goes to show that there WAS some obstacle
in the way:
1.-The President calls upon our people
to thank God, but General Thamas says
they shail not, unless they ask permission
of his soliiers to do So The spires Of the
Episcopal churches still point i'll silence TO
Heaven, but the organ has ceased its SOL

PLEASANT ACQUIRES FOR THE Future.

PLEASANT ACQUIRES FOR THE Future. =
The Jounal Of Commerce says:
1t is exceedingly gratifying, upon look
ing over our exchanges from every part of
TIN c)ultry, to ob,e.Ne the untalmlty with
which the new year is greeted by newspa-
pers of all shades of party feeling, as the
harbingcr ef mere peaceful and better
times. From the extreme radical to the
most timid conservative the re seems to be
but one mind on this subject. All rejoice
that the new year finds a comparatively
happy and prosperous land, in which but
50 recently the different elements of tfater-
nal and civil strife and bloodshed were
soothing in one heaving, molten mass :
One desire alone appears to animate the
press Of the coun:ry-that the new year
shaU be devoted to the Christian task Of
repairing and binding together the shat
tered fragments of the best country God
ever gave to man for his use and the de-
velopment. and of restoring the Republic
in all its pristine beauty.

GREAT HARDsHIPs The manufacturers
and bankers seem to be running away
with all the money. Here is a statement
of what one of the national banks is gath
ering from the community for its stock
holders:
The National Currency Bank has de-
clared its quarterly dividend of Is per cent
with 10 per cent. additional to surplus ac-
count. We are informed that this makes
60 per cent. cash dividends, and 80 per
cent of surplus for the pastyear.
This is equal to anything that any of
the cotton and hardware companies in
New England are doing. We wonder
whether Mr. Sprague will not deem it his
duty to propose some scheme for the relief
of the national banks, as well as for the
manufacturing companies Their case
seems to be one of equal hardship.-N. y.

from the Missouri Democrat, 7th-l
We have had the pleasure OF welcoming
General John B. Sanborn from his tour among
the Indians Of the Southwest He reached
st. Louis on Saturday, by railroad from Rol.
Ia, to which place he lad jou1neyed By stage
from Fort Gibson. The General Is in good
health and spirits, and will probably start to-
day for his home In s.. Paul. He Will be
Gratefully remembered by our readers for val
aable military services, rendered especially in
the pursuit Of Price's raiders on their last
visit to this State.
Gen. Sanboru was sent out in December
last, as may be recolEected, by tho Secretary
of the Department of the Interior, as Com
missioner to the Indians Of the Southwest. to
regulate tho relations between them aud their
late slaves. The necessity for the Commits
sion arose from the facts that the Indian
SHAREHOLDERS refused to recognize the emanci-
patton eaicte, md the Freedmen's Bureau did
not embrace the Indian country in Its 1uris-
dctfon. The General was authorized to see
to 1t that the freedom OF the slaves should be
practically conceded, and 10 regulate their
status among the Indians.
Tho latter had q correct understanding Of
the action Of the Government, but conceived
that neither the Presidents Proclamation nor

the slaves were to be all free, but cunningly
provided that Il afterwards found "runnine

The General promptly forbade the execution
of the latter part Of the programme, and bis
order was effective
There are represented to be some sixty
thousand Of the 1ndians-Choctaws. Greeks,
Cherokces and Chickasaws- had In all
not less thnn fifteen thousand slaves. The
ex-masters and the freedmen are now pro-
gressing with harmony worthy Of imitation
by the paler ehivairy and their lnte chattels.
The freedman is thoroughly free and the ln-
dian admirably .!:reeonstructed." The re.
suits are very :notewo1thv, and we trust will
be detailed at length by the General for the
better satisfaction Of the public. The negro
