Governor J. L. Orr, witness for the defense,
being duly sworn depossd: o
Isknow the accused, Mr.. Showers, have known
him personally about twelve years, have known
him By reputation somewhat longer esteem him
from the reputation which he has enjoyed among
his friends and neighbors-a man of good charac'
ter, responsibility, and of influence. As far as
know or have heard of his reputation, was that of
quiet, orderly citizen, until the present alega-
ton against him. This is the first charge ever
heard affecting his character, He has held Office
of trust in his State-he was State Senator in the
Legislature of Georgia-how long don't know;
my impression is that previous to that time he fill
ed some Office in his county.
Cross-examined:
never heard of his having been charged with
having shot man, previous to the present case;
from my acquaintance with him, and the commu-
nifty in which he resides, think would have
known of such charge if it had been in general
circulation. There has been great deal of inter-
course between my town and his neighborhood, as
the town in which reside is the market place for
tba, community, and if such report had been in
c;rcn,ation [ think should have heard it. do
not know .anything in his life or conduct which
would be likely to excite his neigfbOrs to prefer e
false charge of crime against him.

haps longer; he was raised in my neighborhood;
his general reputation for veracity is not very
good; ever since have known him, was thrown
with Howell for nearly three months, in the win

had the opportunity of forming an estimate of his
character, would not from his general character

upon his oath from what know of him.

III. How this duty is TO be performed.
With Thanksgiving. God expects MS,
speaking after the manner Of men, to be
grateful for the benefits we receive from
Him. As nation, we should be thank
full for the deliyerance wrought out for
us by Him. In preserving our national
ity when large minority of our nation
determined 10 destroy it, in giving us
peace in all our borders, in giving US q
fruitful season, in enabling our govern
ment TO cancel large portion of its in-
debtedneSs, which, if IT continues 10 ao
Mt the same rate for the next hitech
years, will pay of all claims against H.
and set an example to the various gov
ernmouts OF the world, In giving us the
frecst and consequently the most perma-
nent government Of the world, and the
future Of our country is glorious, provid-
cd "we do justly love mercy and walk
hmnhly with our God
As a Church we have reason tn be
grateful. God has opcncd the hearts oi
our people. and nearly three millions oi
dollars have been subscribed this CEN
tcnary year for various benevolent pnr-
poses. And better than this, one hun
drcd and two thousand souls have been
converted and added 10 the church tins

Gods providential goodness is a
theme upon which good men in every
age have delighted to dwell. The hills
and the mountains, clothed in verdant
beauty; the valleys covered over with
corn: the early and the latter rainfall
contributing to the sustenance of man
and beast-were occasion to the Psalm
ist of adoring gratitude to the heavenly
Benefactor. He contemplated, also,
with satisfaction the might of Jehovah's
arm, rising victorious over the enemies
of Zion, and subduing them; thus max
ing "peace throughout all her borders

|. We have met this day, not only in ac-
cordance with pious, grateful hearts,
but with q time honored custom; and
by the recommendation of our civil
rulers to render thanksgiving and praise
to God for the blessings of the year.
1. For the unmolested enjoyment of
our civil and religious privileges. Is
there. not an occasion of gratitude in
that order of Providence by which We
are permitted to instruct our families in
the word of God-to raise our hearts in
prayer to God for them-to come forth
weekly to our sanctuaries to worship
God after the dictates OF our own con-
sciencef J.. l....i ,s...s ..rssl.ls,El.
Were we to-day shaking of the chains
of ecclesiastical tyranny, which lad for
years dictated our creed of faith, locat-
ed our places of worship, required by
Legislative enactment our attendance,
and compelled our support; or if
We were, just rising from the
ruins of a government whose
rulers - had been forced upon
us without our consent, should We not
prize with higher value the religious
and civil freedom which we now enjoy.
God has sometimes corrected one evil
by inflicting another. He made Asyria
the rod of His anger in correcting Isr:el.

persecution was working much evil in

ven with their State policy, and was

steam, all quarters of the habitable
earth are explored; by the printing
press the literary treasures of the ma
tions are multiplied like the leaves of

gence is flashed from continent to con-
tinent. All these things are making
the world one, and so preparing the

They are one basis of operation. At the

in almost every land, the Bible has been

Other indications, such as the intense
activity of mems minds in regard to re-
ligious matters, the present state of the
ology, the present aspect of the contest
with infdelity, and the substantial
unity of all evangelical denominations,
also would be worthy of our attention.
But we cannot now consider them. Let
us conclude with two or three prac-
tical reflections. |. Manifestly God still
has hand in history. While mon are
invisibly laying their plans, He is silent
ly accomplishing his purposes. 2.
Prophecy is unity of all acceptation. If
anything in the Bible could have stag
gered the faith of the primative Chris
tians it was the prediction that the Cos
pei should prevail over the world. We
live in an age when such appears to be
its manifest destiny. 3. We should
! thank God for what we are permitted to
see. Let us praise Him and grid our
selves for the work which we shall be
called to perform.

Moreover, this trust must be coupled

of this Psalm, in the fulness Of gratitude
to the Lord for some signal deliverance,

One of Israel 81, 5.
The circumstances of Israel were
briefly alluded to when the words of the
text were spoken,'and the promise that
they should not be forsaken of God was
shown to have been faithfully fulfilled.
Tho contrast between their iniquity
and Gods long suffering mercy was
drawn. The speaker took occasion from
this history to show the greatness OF
our iniquity as nation, especially as
manifested in our war and the present
sectional animosities, and the position
of the churches i'll reference thereto
He asked if il were not an amazing dis
play of Coda long suHarins, in view oi
this mass of guilt, that we were not
destroyed. But there were no tokens oi
wrath. The spectral hand of ayenging
righteousness was not yet seen writing
on the walls of the temple of American
greatness, prosperity and liberty tho

far from it, indeed, God was never more
muniiicent in his benefactions. He
here enumerated our national blessings,
saying that they all, radiatcd by the
transcendcnt mercy of religious liberty,
presented an appeal for gratitude, such
rs was presented to no nation on earth
Emblazoned on them all in letters of
light were the words mot forSakcn OF

1t was fitting indeed, then, that our
Chief Magistrate, recognizing the SOW
ereignty of God in mans earthly allot-
ments, and acknowledging our vast OBJ
legations to Him, should call upon this
great people to assemble in their places
of worship and shout grateful thanks
givings to the Author of all Good, we
should praise him, not only with our
lips, but in the inner sanctuary of con-
secrated hearts.
jeremiah, in the words Immediately
following the text, called upon the peo-
pie to ''fiee out of the midst of Babylon,
and deliver every man his soul" The
speaker thus appealed to his people to
flee from the Babylon ofSatanic despot-
ism, the bondage of iniquity, and live as
servants of righteousness unto God. So
would it be well for them and their
children forever; SO would they do their
part in making this q righteous nation
