The Presidcni's Thanksgiving
PrOcI;imatiO
BY the President of the United States
A PROCLAMATION.

A PROCLAMATION.
In conformity with recent custom, that
may now be regarded us established by ma
tional consent and approval, |, Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, do
hereby recommend to my fellow citizens that
Thursday, the 2Sth day of November next,
be set apart and observed throughout the
Republic as Il day of national thanksgiving
and praise to the Almighty Ruler of Nations,
with Whom are dominion and power, and
who maketh peace in !lis high places. Rest
ing and retaining from secular labors on
that Gay let US reverently and devOutly give
thanks to our Heavenly Father for tue mer-
cies and blessings with which lie has crown
ed the now closing year. Especially let US
remember that lie has favored our land with
greatly needed and very abundant harvests,
that lie has caused industry to prosper not
only in our fields, but also in our workshops,
in our mines and in our forests. lie has
permitted us to multiply ships upon our
lakes and rivers, and upon the high seas,
and at the same time to extend our iron
roads so far into the secluded places of The
continent, and to guarantee speedy overland
intercourse between the two oceans. He has
inclined our hearts to turn away from do
mestic contentious and connections cOnsc-
quent upon distracting and desolating
civil war, and to walk more and more in the
ancient ways of loyalty, conciliatiOn and
brothcrly love. He has blessed the peace
full efforts with which we have established
new and important commercial treaties with
foreign nations, while we have at the same
time strengthened our national defenses anc
greatly enlarged our national borders.
While thus rendering the unanimous and
heartfelt tribute of national praise and
| thanksgiving, which is so justly due to AL
mighty Cod let us not fail to implore Him
that the same Divine protection and care
which we have hitherto so undeservedly and
yet so constantly enjoyed, may be continued
to our country and our people throughout
oil their generations forever
In witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington, this Goth
DAY OF October, in the year of our Lord 1867,
and OF the independence of the United Sta
ties the ninety second.

IMPORTANT EIsONE EIAHN.
The Battle OF Monte EsOtOndo.

FLORENCE, Oct. ga. M--The particu.
lars received of the engagement at Monte
Ratondo represent that the fighting was
obstinate on both sides. At one time during
the day, when reintorcemerts for the Papal
troops arrived upon the field, the issue APP
peared to be doubtful; but at the end of
the conflict Garibuldi, who led the volun
tcers in person, was completely successful
He Immediately followed up the victory,
and the defeated soldiers of the Pope, who
fell back on Rome, were vigorously pursued
At the latest accounts from the south, Carl
baldi, with all his army-from 10, 900 to 12,-
900 strong-had advanced to the outer for
tiiications of the capital.
LONDON, Oct. 2S--A. M.--Advices from
Rome state that great agitation prevailed
there, the authorities being in hourly ex.
pectation of an attack by the Garbaldans
Pope Plus TX had retired from the Vatican
and taken refuge within the walls of the
Castle st. Angelo.
FLORENCE, Oct. 2S-A General Men.
abrea has succeeded in forming a new Cabi
net.
A proclamation has been issued by King
Victor Emanuel denouncing Garibaldi, and
declaring that the policy of France in main
tanning the obligations of the September
convention, meets with the approval of the
Italian Government.
PARIS, Oct. 2S.-Pope Plus lX has issued
an enCyolical letter to the Bishops of the
Roman Catholic Church throughout Europe,
in which he calls their attention to the great
perils by which he is now surrounded, and in
pathetic terms deplores the many dangers
which menace the temporal power, and
threaten to destroy the independence of the
Holy See.
FLORENCE, Oct 28-Noon. The follow
ing is the substance of the royal procama-
tion, issued yesterday
The King commences by saying that the
country is in great danger, and declares
that war against France, and her possible
allies would be impossible. He denounccs
the Garaibaldians for usurping the right
to make war; which is prerogative of the
King, and says Europe must know that Italy
is no disturber of public order, and that the
| flag raised against the Head Of the Catholic
! Church is not his.

lhE editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Era thus
candidly accepts the situation, and makes
significant confession:
A pack OF fools tof whom we were onel
got the South into a war, and now a mack
of like fools are resolved to keep her in hot
water till the end of time, ii the people per
NIT them to do so.
The Richmond Enquirer says: "what we
want is fortunately not now SO much labor
ers to be hired as industrious, frugal farmers
to settle on our lands. We must repeat it.
at the risk of DINING unwelcome news into
the ears of our country friends, that there is
no other salvation for Virginia but the diyi-
sion of farms"

AZ GAs.-All new houses now in pro-
grcss should be constructed with a view of
introducing gas. One of the latest invcn-
tions is TO burn kerosene oil in gas pipes,
with all the various plain or ornamental
fixtures, while the light is melowcr than
gas, and it is claimed that the expense is
one-Hird less. The oil is contained in re-
serVoirs which may be near the burners, or
In COON overhead, or in cellar, or even
IN an outbuilding. If these reservoirs are
so%er than the burners, the oil is elevated
by cheap force pump, and it can pass 10
the buraers no faster than it is used; hence
explosion is impossible. 1t has been cs,i.
mated that over 5000 lives have been lost
in our country by the explosion of lamps.
This method of Lighting is well adapted to
pariors, offices, churches, lecture rooms, and
in particular to machine shops and factories

A GENIUS ON TAXATION

Our neighbors of the Scatinel, last week,
published what they call an interesting, but
what we should call "a wonderful conver-
sation," between two Republicans in front
of the Court House, on the subject of taxes,
grain, pork, &c. We hardly supposed pos
sible to fnd two Republicans, or even Dent
ocrats, capable of talking on any subject, so
stupid as A. and D. arc made to appear in
this dialogue. 1t is certainly both new and
wonderful to learn that the wheat crop was
a failure and that "corn and pork hardly
paid the labor bestowed upon it," But the
most marvellous part OF The story Is the
statement of B., who confesses to fortune
of S125, ,000-haying sold his farm, &C., for
that amount, and invested the same in Gov
ernment bonds, yielding s per cent. per
annum, or about $4,000 per year, whilst he
pays only sl5 on this princey income, and
paws no school or road tax whatever. Who Is
tho happy man Where is Esquire shindle,
and who holds the duplicate These arc
questions that suggest themselves to all tax
PAYERS. That man is certainly genius,
and could double his fortune by showing
his brother bond-holders how they can es-
cape with Il yearly tax of Sl5 on an income
of 10000 a year, thus saving four hundred
and eighty-fve dollars per annum.

sa5' The SENTINEL.-This is the title of
new paper established at this place, by
Messrs. Young and Auten, the first number
Of which appeared on Saturday last. The
paper is got up with new and good material
and makes good appearance. Pccuniariy
we wish our young friends success.
The publishers, in their programme" as
they call it, say there was room here for the
publication of new lire Democratic paper"
to countcract the effect of the numerous
radical journals of the county. They give
notice to friends and enemies that the
Sentinel will be thoroughly Democratic, and
inasmuch as they "havo been reared and
nurtured in the love of JcfIersonian and
Jackson (why not Jacksoni an p Democracy,
the joint product of their labors cannot fail
to be imbi6ed with the same lofty and patri.
otic principles :" CT, in other words as they
have been brought up TO love the principles
of jefferson and jackson, their joint pro-
ducts will be imbued with the same princi-
pies. AS Jefferson was not only the great
apostle of liberty, but thanked God the day
was not distant when the curse of slavery
would be banished from the land" We trust
our ncighbors will denounce the hercsies of
modern Democrats, in their attempts to make
human slavery the corner stone of the party,
and that the blessings OF slavery" as an
nounced by Judge Woodward, leader of
the party, will not find favor in their eyes.
Further, the .Sentiael promises to "dc.
"nounce if need be, from the house tops, all
"hypocritical pretenders to Democracy, who
"wear its unsullied garb as nero cloak to
"reach by stealth, places of power and profit,
"and, having reached them, throw it cava-
"liery off, imprudently revealing their tur.
"pitude and the peoples error in elccting
them"
This is intended, no doubt, as hard hit
at some of the modern Democrats, who will
please take notice. But we cannot see why
n faithful Sentinel should take exceptions
to that imprudence which induces them to
throw of the cloak and show "ther turpi-
tudo and the peoples error in electing
them"
