Bennett on Thanksgiving
DaV

The New York Herald gets off the
following characteristic admonition in
regard to the approaching National
Thanksgiving:
The Presidents proclamation recon-.
mending Thursday, the 29th day Of
November next, as a general day oi
Thanksgiving, prayer and praise in the
several States and Territories, we hope
will be adopted by all the State and
Territorial governments, and that all
the churches, Protestant and Catholic,
Jew and Gentle, Quaker, Shaker, Nor
mon and Spiritualistic, will join in the
deVotions of the day in a spirit of broth
-erly love. Thus, for one day at least,
let US hope that President johnson and
Parson Brownlow, Beecher, Cheever
and Greeley. Ben Butler and Mayor
Monroe, of New Orleans, Archbishop
McCloskey, Bishop Potter and Rabbi
Raphael, Gov. Fenton and Thurlow
Weed, Fred. Douglass and the Hon.
Ben. Wood, warlike Anna Dickinson
and the irrepressible Brigham Young.
''old Thad. Stevens" and Henry a.
Wise, and in short. that men and
women of all sections, all creeds and all
colors, excepting the constitutional ex-
ceptions of 'Indians not taxed" may
oin for once in the same general exer-
Uses of praise, thanksgiving, concilia-
ion and forgiveness, from Maine to
California. Such a day of general re-
lnion and thanksgiving among the
churches, saints and sinners of all de- ]
always excepting Indians
lot taxed'-such a reunion, we say,
N the civil rights equality of the law
# Congress on that subject will surely |
Iualify all the States for the ratification
# the constitutional amendments and /
he speedy restoration of the Union on
hat solid basis.

A WOman's Fight with In
5diaAS.

The following is from the TEXANS
| California; Observer: al. Hessick, who
runs apack train between Red Bluff and
Hayfork of Trinity, gives the particu-
lars of daring exploit ofa lady. Mrs
Sarah Donelson, formerly resident OF
Red Bluff, is living in a log house on
the trail with her children and father.
A few days ago her father went out
bunting stock, and Mrs. Donelson was
lookin after her poultry a short distance
from the house. Suddenly FIVE Indians
made their appearance. Mrs. Donel-
son started for the house, and was inter-
cepted by two Indians. Thowing them
from her, "a third caught her by the shoul-
der. She knocked him down and reach
ing the house in safety, barred the
door. The Indians rested one or more
rifles on the window, levelled at the
woman, who approached them, and
took down her fathers rifle and re-
turned the fire of the Indians through
the aperatures or 'chinks' of the log
house. On attempting to cock her gun,
Mrs. Donelson found that the thumb
of her right hand had been shot away
by an Indian bullet, but using her left
hand, she soon had the pleasure of
knowing that her would be murderers
had retreated, whether with whole
hides or not she could not tell. Mus
Gle, courage and selfpossession won
against five, and that a
woman. We challenge the State to ex-
hibit an instance in Indian fighting
a woman has acquitted her
self more creditably."

Great advance in the Price
of Corn.

The Chicago Republican,, of Monday,
says: During the past week there has
been great excitement on Change in
this city in consequence of the extra
ordinary rise which has taken place in
the price of corn in all the leading
markets of the world. On the lst of
September, No. corn was sold in this
market at SOC per bushel; on the lst
of October, it had risen to 60c, and on
the 9th Saturday last, it rose to SSc
per bushel This is an advance of 38c
per bushel within two monthsl This,
too, in the face OF an advance in freights
to Buffalo within the same period of
&c per bushel.
while portion of this advance in
the price of corn is due to damage in
some sections by early frost, it is main
ly attributable to a general failure of
the crops in Great Britain, and a great
advance in prices in Liverpool. On the
3lst of August last, corn was quoted in
Liverpool at 26s Sd per quarter, and On
Friday last October 26) it had risen to
3Ss per quarter-an advance, within
eight weeks of 6s Cd per quarter"

Indian Troubles.

The Denver papers publish an ac
count OF atrocities committed by Utes:
among them a Mr. Colts, whom they
killed and severed his head from his
body and carried it with them, tied To
q saddle. No estimate is yet made of the
number of head of cattle, horses, and
mules shot down and driven of, not
yet recovered, but the number is very
great.
From New Mexico we learn that the
Indians are carrying on with a high
hand. They attacked the herd at Fort
McRae and run it of, after killing two
of the guard. A party of negro troops
sent in pursuit did not succeed in re-
capturing the stock These Indians
drove off herds from Camp Membres,
Fort Cummings, and completed their
wor K by doing the same at Fort M'Rea.
At Membres and Fort Cummings. thsv
not only run off the sheep and beef
herds, but also the horses. of the cayaI
ry company stationed there. In not
one single instance were they overta-
ken, although pursuit was invariably
made. At Fort M'Rae, as at other
places, the herd was stolen from within
sight of the post.
A man from Liberty, Mo-, says he
was driven from there, and that two
men were killed.

sherman and Johnson.

There Is no reason to suppose that
President johnson will tender the port
folio of the War Office to General Sher-
man, or that General Sherman would
accept, if itWere rendered. On thecon-
trary there IS good reason to believe
that General Sherman is one of the last
men the President would invite to a
seat in his Cabinet. There is a person
al feud between the two, as old as that
between Sherman and Halleck, or Sher-
man and Stanton, and one that origin
| ated, prObaly, in the same matter-the
negotiation with the rebel General
Johnston. General Sherman thought
that the manner in which the terms
he had proposed or assented to, were
disapproVed by the Executive, was un-
necessarily summary, harsh and un-
kind, and that the intention was to in
jure and degrade MIN before the coun-
try. But whatever the reason, the ex-
lstence of ill-feeling between the Lieu
tenant General and the President, was
recently made manifest by the latter
IN an incident which we will relate:
A distinguished General from Iowa
was IN Washington, and knowing that
General Sherman had written to the
President, referring to his military ca
reer in high terms of eommendation,
called at the White House with a eabi-
net minister from his own State, for
the purpose of obtaining this letter.
Having stated his wishes to the Presi-
dent, the latter inferred erroneously
that he sought a commission in the
regular army, and relied upon General
Sherman's letter of recommendation.
So misunderstanding him, he remarked
promptly and with much spirit: ''No
letter that kGenerai Sherman could 1grits
'0Ould aid yOu here IN obtaining a commits
siOn." To this the General, with equal
warmth and spirit responded: Il Rad
rather hare that letter of General Sherman,
than any commission yOu e0uLa give me"
The speech of General Sherman, to
the Bread aDd-Butter Club of Wash
ington, who serenaded him on the oc-
casion of his recent visit to the Capitol,
was certainly not calculated to inspire
them enthusiastically with ideas of his
devotion to them or their patron He
thought the less a man said in Wash
lhgtOn, the better: said he was going
out West to fight Indians, and would
be happy to see them therei 1t is not
probable the Bread and-butter Brigade
will accept that invitation but it is
ust about as probable as that the Lieu
enant-General will take a seat in the
jabinet as one of the confidential sdVis-
RS of A. J.-Chicqgo Tribune.

Not a Permanent Peace.

The foreign advices favor the idea oi
trouble between Austria and Prussia
before long. Austria does not give up,
but evidently is preparing for another
wsrlike struggle. Everybody capable
of bearing arms is being worked into
the military servic. Though hitherto
known as the most pedantic discipline
rian, the rigid observer of the 'slow
and steady" tactics, has adopted or
shortly will adopt, the fast drilling sys-
tenn in use among some other Europe
an nations. On the other hand, in
Prussia it is generally recognized that
the present peace is merely an armed
truce which may continue for a year,
perhaps for two, but certainly not
beyond, and which will be succeeded
by a struggle to which the war with
Austria was hardly more than child's
play. Whenever it happens we may
be pretty sure that Prussia will be well
prepared for it; far from reducing her
military establishment, she is enlarging
and increasing it, her srsenals are filed
to overfowing with implements of de-
struction, her gun factories are in full
blast, strange rumors are current of
new and unheard of improvements in
the artillery department, and if hostili-
ties should break out, she may astonish
her enemies with a second edition of
the needle gun more fatal and more
decisive of victory than the first. As
Napoleon, is taking notes
and making prepararions-sick nigh |
unto death as he is. He has positive
to serve and prestige to regain
in no event could he be an
die spectator.

Orr Resources.

The american Mining Joarnalremarks
that our iron mines are comparatively
neglected, while we import great part
of the iron we use from Europe, in
face of the fact that we have iron re-
sources sufficient to supply the whole
world for centuries. Take as an exam
pie the Wyoming district which com
prehends not one-half of the Pennsyl-
vania coal field. In this district iron
deposits abound, but are scarcely touch
ed. Eleven thousand millions of tons
of coal are estimated TO lie buried there,
driblets of which are sent off to the
eastern cities to work iron imported
from Europe, while the Wyoming coal
miners themselves receive scant wages.

temperate; he dresses in broadcloth
and fine linen, and wears thirty thou,
sand dollar diamond cluster on his stal.
wart chest. This is the record of his
public life up TO the momentous era
which has just commenced to draw
upon it.
The only other prize fighter we can
think of, that ever attained to legisla-
tive honors in national assembly, was
John Gully, who fought three times. in
the early part of the century, for the
Championship of England. He, too,
made fortune by sporting; but it was
in horse-racing entirely, and that is
considered respectable on the other
side of the water. Gully was amember
of Parliament for many years; was re-
garded as an equal by the highest in
the land, and even succeeded in getting
his daughter into very nearly the best
society Pittsburgh Commercial.

The Impending Revolution
In Spain.

Foreign advices point to a speedy
convulsion-perhaps revolution-in
Spain. The great want is leader, who
will not appear. it is probable, except
as he is born of the convulsion. The
spirit of the nineteenth century is in
fusing itself into the deteriorated Span
ish people, and they are becoming tired
of living under dynasty and institu-
tions which keep them at least two
centuries behind the rest of Europe
Priest and soldier, they feel, are weigh
ing too heavily upon them and suppress
sing their aspirations for a more free
and progressive life. As a nation and
as individuals they are bankrupt, and
their credit almost valueless. They
are rapidly becoming disgusted with a
sovereign who openly sets at defiance
the most palpabIe laws of morality
They want change, confident that no
change can be made for the worse.

three lines of defenses landwards, and
sunken feet in the riAer.
The allies entered Paraguay at Fort
ltapiru, which they took and now hold.
and in the same position taken up four
months ago several severe engagements
have occurred; every movement has oc-
CURED except bare progress and de.
feat.
There is reason to believe that the
Paraguayans are unanimous in this
war. There is no turning against their
iron rule. So steadfast are they, that
we have reason to believe any desert
ers coming over to be spies. Military
rigor is nothing new to them. No fields
of theirs lie waste in their absence, no
invasion can much damage their pos
sessions hence they congregste in ar
mics without objection, and defending
their land and stupidity obedient, they
dare any danger, and the soldiers of
their own accord seldom if ever surren-
der.
There is reason to believe that Lopez
has in camp now 10000 men, with gar
rison at Bumatai, and at Currupaita-
All along from Estero Bellaco, where
the army now is, to the capital, there
is system of defenses among the pass
es of the swamps.
For months the Fort Currupaiti has
been in the way of further progress of
the feet. On September 1st, an effort
was made to reduce it. A forest of
masts moved up the Paraguay river,
and about a league below the fort a
masked battery opened on the ships
with thirteen well directed guns. All
drew off but six iron clads, which stood |
in together. All day terrible and OBJ |
stinate fire was kept up from river and |
shore. Once an iron clad leaving port
hole open received two shells through /
1t killing ten men. Next morning the |
firing was resumed. At two P. N, the |
ships landed force to attack by land,
and at the same time torpedo was sent
floating with the current toward the
feet. 1t struck the Rio de Janerio the
best iron clad in the navy, and blew
her up. She cost $3.50, 900 and had on
board three hundred men. The fight |
went on and the battery of Curuzu fell
INTO Brazilian hands at sundoWn. The
allies report killed and wounded 1000.
Loss OF Paraguay not yet known. Two
bomb vessels were injured besides the
ron clad. At the last momentthe Para
yuayans in Fort Curuzu spiked their
guns and blew up their magazine. The
,lace was deeply and widely mined, and
he mire was great /
Brazil has called for 10000 troops,
md this Republic is called on for 5000
more. The forces of the allies now num- s
'er about 10000. Two young Ameri- ,
ans are making torpedoes for the Par
guayans. i

D. sometimes CLEANS upon our sight,
Through present wrong, the eternal right
And step by step. since time began,
We see the steady gain of man;
That all of good the past has had
Remains to make our own time glad,
Our common daily life divine,
And every land a Palestine.
We lack but open eye and ear,

The still! small voice in autumn'S hush,
Yon maple wood the burning bush.
For still the new transcends the old.
In signs and tokens manifold;
Slaves rise up men; the Olive waves
With roots deep set in battle Erayes,
Through the harsh notes of the day
A low sweet prelude finds its way,
Through clouds of doubt and creeds offear,
A lights breaking, calm and clear.
Henceforth my heart shall sigh no more
For Olden time and hOlier shore;
Gods love and blessing, then and there,
Are now, and here. and everywhere.

A Nut for Ex-RebeIs.

ga negro man, says the 1hssissippian
formerly the slave of Joseph Hicks, OF
Brandon, Miss, not only remained the
faithful and devoted servant of his
master, but after that masters death,
not long since, procured at his own ex-
pense a handsome and costly coffin for
the body. Mr.. Hicks had no relative
near him at the time of his death, ex-
cept his aged wife; but his servant de-
termined to see that he was decently
buried, and nobly did he carry out his
determination"
The Evening Ledger calls this "a nut
for the Radicals" 1t is a good nut
1t is to men capable ofsuch noble traits
of humanity, such kindly and tender
feelings of gratitude; that large pro-
portion Of the people of the South
would deny the ordinary rights of man
hood. Give US every example you can
of the kind. Every one of them be-
comes a two-edged sword, wherew;th to

dice of this people against granting the
ordinary rights of humanity to the ne
gro race.-Msmphts Post.

Facts About sheep and Wool

We make the following interesting
extracts from the address of John L.
Hayes, Esq. before the National Asso-
citation of Wool Groves, delivered at
the annual meetings at Philadelphia:
ANTIQUITY OF SHEEP.
We find sheep mentioned in the
most ancient writing, in the first chap
ter of Genesis, in the Persian. Zend
Avesta, in the Indisn Vedes, and in
the Chinese Chouking, and represented
on the monuments of Egypt. Accord
ing to Geofrey Saint Hilaire, the high
est authority on the origin of species,
the specific source of our domestic sheep
is unknown. All that is certain is that
the present race originated in the East;
the primitive names, Book, and BOuc,
found in the most ancient and Asiatic
languages, being preserved in our form
