THE Flow OF GOLD TO THE UNITED
STATES. The London Review has the fol-
lowing: 1.-The eflux of gold to the United
States has continued on a somewhat larger
scale than had been looked for, although in
fact, amounting to no great sum. After the
enormous receipts from that country, month
or two back, it is not much to have to return
some two hundred thousand or three hun
dred thousand pounds in two or three sue
cessive weeks The most satisfactory fea-
ture in the movement is the confidence that
1t shows IN the permanence Of peace in
America, and that, as far as investors are
concerned, the renewal of the civil war is
considered in the highest degree remote
As we have already had occasion toobserve,
this beliefis not only felt by Englishmen and
Germans, but has latterly been shared by
Frenchmen. The fve-twenty bonds, which
these shipments are made to pay for, are as
eagerly, if not more eagerly, bought in Paris
asin London and Frankfort. Not very many
years ago, scarcely any foreign securities
were quoted on the French BouSe and it is
significant to notice how great an alienation
has taken place in this respect. Except on
our own Stock Exchange, it may bedoubted
whether in any other capital of Europe, not
even Frankfort or Amsterdam, foreign in
vestments are now so largely heldasin Paris.
Formerly native capitalists would take moth
ing but the rentes; now they are ready to
invest in Italion, Spanish, Mexican (unfor-
tunately), and many other similarsecurities.
Except, however, in rare instances, United
States bonds have been in little favor, and
hence the significance of the present de-
mand."

B@- Thaddeus Stevens says that if the
present Congress is not legally constituted
body, ETC., then the government bonds were
not legally issued. Not so fast, Thaddeus.
When the bonds were issued, all the States
were represented in Congress that could be,
or that would be. Now, however, the thing
Is changed, and all the States may be and de-
sire to be represented, but nearly one-third
of them are violently kept out of Congress
By the Radical Rump The dullest mind
can perceive the sophistry of Thad's argu-
meut.

Proclamation by the President.
WASHINGTON Oct, 8.

WASHINGTON Oct, 8.
The following proclamation has just been
issued by the President the United States /:
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, has
been pleased to vouchsafe to us, as a peo-
pie, another year of that national life, which
is an indispensable condition of peace, Sc
curity, and progress. That year has, more
over, beencrowned with many peculiar bless
ings. The civil war that SO recently closed
among us, has not been anywhere reopened.
Foreign Intervention has ceased to excite
alarm or apprehension, intrusive pestilence
has been benignly mitigated, domestic tran
guilty has improved, sentiments of concilia-
ton have largely prevailed, and the afec-
tions of loyalty and patriotism bave been
widely received. Our fields have yielded
quite abundantly, our mining industry has
been richly rewarded, and we have been al
lowed to extend our railroad system far into
the interior recesses of the country, while
our commerce has resumed its customary ac-
tivity in foreign seas.
The great national blessings demand ma
tional acknowledgement
Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, Pres
ident of the United States, do herebyrecom-
mend that Thursday, the 29th day of No
vember next, be set apart and be observed
everywhere in the several States and Ter
ritories of the United States by the people
thereof as day of thanksgiving and praise
to Almighty God.
With due remembrance that ''in his tenn
/ recommend also that, on the same solemn
occasion, they do humbly and, devoutly i'm
plore him to grant to our national councils
and to our whole people that divine wisdom
which alone can lead any nation into the ways
Of all good.
In offering these national thanksgivings,
praises and supplcations, we have the di-
vine assurance that ''The Lord remaineth
King forever; them that are weak shall be
guided in judgment, and such as are gentle
shall he learn his way The Lord shall give
strength to His people,, and the Lord shall
give to His people the blessings of peace. -
In witness whereof, l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed
-, Done at the City of Washington
this the 8th of October, in the yeal
of our Lord, one thousand eight
49, hundred and sixty-six, and Of the
Independence Of the United States the nine
| ty-frst.

AwRTER in the FaH Rirer Mass Ne,cs
bitterly complains that nearly one-halfof the
children in that place does not go to school.
There are 1880 children there between the
ages of five and fifteen years, while the num-
Der of scholars of corresponding ages in all
the public schools is only 2,342, leaving
nearly 1000 children out of the schools.
Thy reason is given by the complainant
THE children are placed at work in the fac
tories when they should be in the schools. -
This is in moral Massachusetts, whose Con-
gressmen voted $685. from the public
Treasury for black buck adults down in the
canebrakes of Louisiana, Texas and else
where in the South But no provision was
made for schooling the white children in
Massachusetts, or for protecting" by the
Bureau or otherwise, white infants of five
years of age from being doomed to the sla-
very of factory life for the benefit of their
"philanthropic" parents

BRIG GENERAL W. H. ENT, of Columbia
county, Pa, addressed the Democracy at
BERGER's Hall on Tuesday night. His ar
gument was exceedingly logical and convin-
cling. This gallant young soldier did long
and faithful service in the field against arm
ed rebels; he is now leading the WHITE
Boys IN BLUE against an insidious and more
dangerousfo foe-the disunionists ofthe North :;
then as now, he fought for the Constitution
and the old flag. The same brave boys
stand behind him that faced the rebel shot
and shell on the Potomac and Rapidan-
now as then, these brave boys will carry all
before them-Patriots and soldiers, soldiers
and patriots they will come out of this fray
covered all over with glory and renown that
no mortal combat with sword and bayonet
upon CORY battle fields could yield. COP

Heavy Bank Robbery,

Boston, October THE fact was devel-
oped Friday morning that the First Nation
al Bank at Yarmouthport had been robbed
of S75, 900, and that the crime had been
perpetrated by a son of the cashier of the
Bank. The facts, so far as they have tran
spired, are as follows: 1t had been the Gus
tom of the cashier of the Bank, Mr.. Amos
Otis, to keep the coupon interest notes and
United States bonds belonging to the insti-
tuition in tin trunk. His trunk was found
missing on Friday morning last, and with it
theson of the CASHIER George Otis. The
father, on discovering the situation, made all
haste to approhend the thief and recoverthe
goods. Word was despatched to detectives
In distant cities, and so thorough was the
search, that young Otis found himselfa pris-
oner the next day. He was arrested at Ply
mouth, having travelled to that place during
the night. On being arrested he made a
clean breast of the whole transaction. The
stolen funds were found secreted in the bank
shed by the cashier A small amourtof the
compound interest notes was missing, but
the amount was finally restored. The pris-
oner Is about twenty-one years of age. He
was employed in the bank Mr. Otis, the
cashier, is a respected citizen of Yarmouth
port 1t is probable that young Otis will be
held to bail.
