RAIN One OF the most gratifying
things Of the season is the rain that fell
in gentle showers on Sunday and Mon
day. The Sundays rain reioiced all
hearts, as well AS the dry earth. Mon
day morning was bright and clear, and
here and there fear was expressed that
the heavens had "shut down on US" too
soon. But the clouds gathered over our
heads again, and again the rain descend
ed, and Monday noon we beheld the re-
freshed earth doubly rejoicing. A few
more of such showers and our wells
springs and brooks will contain their
usual supply OF water.

GENERAL RESULTS.

The battle has been fousht--thc victory
has been won. Treason, Copperho adism
and "My Policy" havo boon buried in the
same grave together. Tho soldiers have
voted as they fought, aud the loyal men Of
the North have rallied around the aag with
honor to themselves aud terror to their en-.
omies. The general result may be briefly
stated as follows:
The Union majority in Ohio will exceed
Fifty AMI may reach Sixty Thousand. Sew
enteen Union Congressman are elected, aud
Copperheads and Union renegadcs have
been most effectively put TO flight. Ohio
has proven herself worthy of the glorious
record she made during the war.
Pennsylvania has gone Union by over
Eighteen Thousand. She has reelected ali
her Union Congressman has gained one,
and probably three; and has carried two.
thirds Of each branch of the Legislature,
This latter result will secure the election of

by two Congressman, thus giving us ten
out Of eleven. The indications are that W.

six years.

A PROCLAMATION.
by the President of the United States.

Almighty God, ou- Heavenly Father, has been
pleased to vouchsafe to us as people another
year Of that natl OnL life which is an indispensable
O ndition of peace, security aud progress. The
year, moreover, has been crowned with many
peculiar blessings. The civil war that has so
recently ragged among us has not been anywhere
renpened. Foreign intervention has ceased to eX-
| cite alarm or apprehension; intrusive p9stience
has been benign'y mitgated domestic tranquility
has improved; sentiments of cOnciliadon have
largely prevailed, and the affections of loyalty and
patriotism have been widely renewed our fields
have yielded quite abundantly our mining indus,
try has been richly rewMd d and we have been
allowed to extend our railroad system tar into the
interior recesses of the country while our oom
merce has resumed its customary activity in for
eign seas
These national blessings demand national
acknowledgement.
Now, therefore, +, Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States, do hereby recommend that
Thursday, the 29th day of November next be set
apart and be observed everywhere in the several
States and Territories of the United States, by the
people thereof a day OF thanksgiving and praise
| u Almighty God, with due remembrance that in
His temple doth every man speak OF His honor.
| recommend, also, that on the same solemn o.
cas0n we do humbly and devoutly implore Him
to grant 10 national councils, and to our VIII le
people, that divine wisdom which alone can lead
| any nation into the ways Of all good.
In Offering these national thankSgiviugS, praises
and srppcationS, we have the divine assurance
| that " the Lord remaineth a King forever; them
that are meek shall He guide in Judgment; and
such as are gentle shall lie learn HIS way. The
Lord shall give STRENGTH to Mis- people, and the
Lord shall give to His people the blessings OF
peace"
In witness Whereof have heremto set my
| hand and caused the seal Of the United Stat0s TO
bo affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this eighth day oil
| October, in the year OF our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-six, aud of the indepen
denc1 Of the United States the ninety first.

Andrew Johnson and the starving Irish

me Uotr0lt TOM has oNhumod The IUF
lowing fact in Andrew JJhnson's re ,ord:
In the wintor of 1851, dur,n; the Irish
famine, it was proposed IN Congress to ap
propriate u sun OF money to purchase corn
aud flour to send to the starving people of
Ireland. The bill passed. the Senate and
came to the House, whom its title was read
when Andrew Johnson, of Tonne ssee, oh.
jected to it on the ground that it was "un
constitutional to feed starving Irish mon
and women, and moved to lay the bill
on the table. When this voto was tall1n,
Andrew Johnson voted to lay tho bill on
the table. In spite of Andrew Johnson
the American people did send several
ship loads of corn and -four to Ireland to
aid the starving people of that isllnd.
