population OF 5000 souls; but TO- day it is said
to have population OF 10000, counting in the
suburb OF Geors setoWn. The bu ildings erected
during the present year number not less than
l,50c, and yet rents continue eXhorbitartly
nigh, and comfortable dwellings are hard to
obtain at any price. Northern ideas Of ousi.
ness have taken the place of the old way Of
letting well enough alone, and there is a new

PROCLAMATION

: A PROCLAMATION.
By the President of the United States Of America.
In conformity with q recent custom, that
may now be regarded as established on national
consent and approval, 1, Andrew johnson,
President OF the United States, do hereby re-
commend to my fellow citizens, that Thurs
day, the twenty eighth day of November next,
be set apart and observed throughout the Re-
public as day Of National Thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty Ruler Of Nations, with
whom are dominion and fear, who maketn
peace in His high places.
Resting and refrainiDg from secular labors
on that day, let us reverently and devosedly
give thanks TO our Heavenly Father for the
mercies and blessings with which He has
crowned the now closing year. Especially
let us remember that He has covered our land
through all its extent, with greatly needed
and very abundant harvests; that he has
caused industry to prosper, not only in our
fields, but also in our workshops. In our
mines, and in our forests. He has permitted
us to multiply ships upon eur lakes and riv-
'ers, and upon the high seas, and at the same
time to extend our lrsn roads so far into the
secluded places Of the Continent as to guar
antee speedy overland intercourse between
the two oceans. He has nclined our hearts to
turn away from the domestic contentious aud
commotions consequent upon dlstracting
ana desolatlng civil war, and to walk more
and more in the ancient ways OF loyalty, con-
ciliat'ou, and brotherly love. He has blessed
the peaceful efforts with which we have estab-
lished new and important commercial treaties
with foreign nations, while we have at the
same time strengthened our national defences
and greatly enlarged our national borders
While thus rendering the unanimous and
heartfelt tribute Of natonsl praise and thanks
giving which Is so justly due to Almighty God,
let us not fail to implore Him that the same
Divine protection and care which we have
hitherto so undeservedly. and yet so con-
stantly, enjoyed, may be continued to our
country and our people throughout all their
generations forever.
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 Washin gton, this twenty

terry upon lady committed under novel cir.
cumstances. The accused had a mirror,
which bsiHg turned with the strong reflection
of the sun upon the face Of the lady at some
distance, who was looking out of a window,
thereby caused her plin by the effec, of the
suns rays upon her eyes. No blow was
struck, end the action OF the defendant was
probably not eaus' by anger. Nevertheless,
the jury found the defendant guilty Of an
assault and battery, upon the theory that any,
thing that capses pein may Re q battery. We
SUPP ose that the attention OF the Court will be
directed to the cesa upon motion tor a new
trial, and 1t Will be nice question to decide
whether such offence is really an assault
ano battery, according to the usual definitions
OF those misdemeanors.
