Edward A. Pollard, who, it will be
remembered, has recently written life
of Davis, has been strongly denounced
by the Southern press, for his charac-
terization of Davis. The Charleston
News having called him ga Richmond
rowdy," he replies, at length, saying
among other things :
"You believe Jefferson Davis imma-
culatc, you extol him but weak logi-
clan as you are, you do not see that to
flatter a ruler you assert the disgrace
and infamy of his and your country.
I have maintained the reputation of the
Southern people and the virtue of their
cause, but have only been able to do it
consistently with the unworthiness of
Mr.. Davis, and on the hypothesis that
he was weak and derelict. Destroy
that hypothesis, grant that he did every
thing properly and we'll, that he fully
developed and used resources Of eight
millions of people, that there was mis-
government in the Confederacy, and
then have only to say plainly and
sternly, that it is to the dire disgrace
of the South. shame, and infamy I'M
parallelcd in modern annals, that, hay
ing the resources she had, she WAS ut
terly subdued in four years by an
enemy whose merely numerical saperi
GRITTY was known at the beginning of
the war, and was derided by Confedor-
ate leaders. and never, in similar cir
cumstauees in history, was obtained a
victory so complete and profound over
a people so numerous and a territory
so large.

publican victory was celebrated ct Gale
ma, Illinois, by grand torchligh pro-
cession, bonfres, Nominations, and
other demonstrations Of JOY. The
Galena Tanners, with two bands OF

the General stepped out upon the
piazza and addressed the multitude as
follows !:
FRIENDS AND F'EILow-oITzENs OF GA
LENA I thank you for this additional
mark of your kindness. Sufficient, /
suppose, has now been heard of the
late election to show upon whom it has
fallen to administer the affairs of the
nation for the next four years. L sup
pose it is no egotism in me to say that
it has fallen upon myself. The respon
sibilities of the position L feel but
accept them without fear, if I
can have the same support which has
been given to me thus far. l thank
you aud all others who have fought
together in this contest-a contest in
which you are oil interested personally
as much as, and perhaps more than l
am now take occasion to bid you
good bye, as / leave here tomorrow for
Washington, and shall probably see
but few of you again for some years to
come, although it would give me great
pleasure to make an annual pilgrimage

SO much as / have here during the past

GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY.

GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY.
The events of the past year afford abundant
cause for most heartfelt Thanksgiving to Al
mighty God.
Orr country seems to be entering upon a
new life Of peace and prosperity. Commerce.
manufacturers and the pursuits Of agriculture
are melted to renewed vigor and activity.
Personal liberty and public security seem to
be insured to us for all time. The enduring
triumph of the principles of free government
over rebellion and anarchy in this land is re-
generating the nations of the earth, and the
liberal principles of equality and recognition
of man as man are working good through
out the world, which none can limit
Let us then thank God for these and all
other nlercics. Let us especially thank Him
for His blessings upon this our beloved State
That while increasing in every material
wealth we have been during the past year ex-
empted from all natural convulsions, pesti-
lence and sa5ni,e--'rhat our citizens in the
enjoyment OF the fullest liberty are moral
yirtuous and law abiding people-That the
poor and INDECENT have been cared for, the
disabled soldiers of the State supported and
their orphans protected, and that the oppor-
tunities of education and advancement are
open to all.
For these reasons, and in accordance with
established custom, |, MARCUS l.. WARD,
Governor of the State Of New Jersey, do here
by set apart and appoint
THURSDAY, the goth day of NOvem-
Der. instant.
as day of Thanksgiving. PraYef and Praise,
and do recommend that upon that day the
people of this State assemble in their various
places of worship and prayer, and while hum
bly, acknowledging the mcrcies Of our all gra-
eious Father in the past, do invoke him to be
with us in the future.

A Boys Composition OH Corns.

Corns are of two kinds. Vegetable corns
grow in rows, and animal corns grow on toes.
There arc several kinds of corns; there is
unicorn, capricorn, corn-dodgers, field corn
and corn, which is the kind you feel the
most. 1t is said believe that gophers like
corn, but person having corns does not
like to ''go far" IF he can help it. Corns
have kernels and many colonies have corns.
Vegetable corn grows on ears, but animal
corn grows on the feet at the other end of
the bodys-.Another kind Of corn is acorn;
these grow on oaks, but there is no hoax
about the corn. The acorn is corn with
an indefinite article, but the toe corn is
very definite article indeed. Try it and see.
Many man, when he has corn, wishes it
was an acorn. Folks that have corns some-
times send for a. doctor, and if the doctor
himself is corned he won't probably do so
well as if he isn't. The doctors say that
corns arc produced by tight boots or shoes,
which is probably the reason why when
man is tight they say he is ccrned. If a
farmer manages well he can get Il good deal
of corn on one acre, but ] know Of farmer
that has one corn that makes the biggest
acher on his farm The bigger the crop Of
vegetable corn man raises the better he
likes it, but the bigger the crop Of animal
corn he raises the better he don't like it.
Another kind of corn is corn dodger. The
way it is made is very simple and is made
as follows THAT is if you want to know):-
You go along the street and meet man
that you know has corns and is rough
character; then you step on the toe that
has the corn on it and SEQ if you won't have
occasion to dodge. In that way you will
find out what a corn dodgcris.

"Yes it is strange name, but very ap-

"Yes, she is beautiful" replied Paul.

bitterly. He had been among the rejected.

"Boys' hearts often bend where mems

Mira Swan was pretty, and an only daugh-

in its symmetry. Her small mouth, with
even white teeth, half seen when her rosy
lips dimpled into smiles her rich black hair
which rippled over broad white brow, was
looped up from her face, and fastened at the
back in mass of shining curlS, and gave a
very beautiful effect to her appearance. -
She was also very pret,ily dressed, being at

rich black lace fastened at the neck with
scarlet gcranium blossoms-a cluster Of the

more for buds and blossoms than for pearls
and diamonds. She was gay and brilliant,

Warren Dagon was introduced, and was
soon floating with her through the intricate

A clever young man was he, my lad, q,
And with beauty uncommonly blessed,
Ere with brandy and wine
... He began to decline,
And behaved like person possessed;

The temperance plan is the best.
One evening he went to the tavern, my lad,
lie went to the tavern one night,
And drinking too much ...

And was quite
What your aunt would entitle fright"
The fellow fell into snooze, my lad;
Ills horrible slumber he takes
lie trembles with fear,
:. And acts very queer; ....
My eyes how be shivers and shakes
When he wakes,
And raves about great horrid snakes!
'.Tis a warning to you and to me, my lad,
A particular caution to all
Though no one eau see
The viper but he ....
To- hear the poor lunatic howl, &c.
"How they crawl
All over the floor and the wall |" H.
The next morning he took to his bed, my
lad, .......
Next morning he took to his bed, ....
And he never got up ... .l...

Though properly physicked and bled;
And | read,
Next day the poor fellow was dead.
You've heard of the snake in the grass, my
lad, .... -
Of the viper concealed in the grass;
But now you must know
Mans dcadliest foe
Is snake of different class;
Alas! ....
'Tis the viper that turks in the glass.
