NELSON TRUsLER, Sec'y Of State.

President JOHNSON has given many
reasons why the American people
should be thankful. They have been
truly blessed with abundant crops
and unrivalei prosperity. The polit-
ical bitterness which he deprecates,
and the sectional dissensions, have al
ready given place to peace and quiet,
and the return of complete harmony
among the people of the various
States cannot long be delayed.
No epidemic disease has ravaged
the States, and the future opens
bright before the Government and
the people.
Vast railroad enterprises have been
pushed forward with spirit and sue
cess, and undeveloped regions of the
country brought into market and
made inviting to emigration.
While many Of the mechanical and
mercantile interests have not proven
as profitable as in other years, owing
to the great excitement attending the
Presidential electioa, they have no
occasion to despond, and may enter
upon the year 1869 with every as
surance of remunerative profits for
the capital invested and the efforts
put forth.
AS citizens of Evansville, we may
be thankful that it is as well with us
as it is. Our children are we'll sup
piled with good schools, excellent
teachers, and comfortable houses, and
have ample opportunity for mental
and moral improvement. The city
has materially increased in population
and wealth, in spite of all adverse
circumstances. Many of her laborinl
men have been able to provide them
selves with homes that they car
call their own, and houses have null
tiplied in every part of the city. Tn
health of the people has been mos
remarkable. The dark-winged Ange
of Death has cast shadow over, com
paratively, few of her homes.
Therefore, it is proper for the PEG
pie, who recognize these blessings a
coming from the Great Giver of ever
good and perfect gift. to assem-
Die in their respective Churches an,
publicly manifest their gratitude 70
the favors they have received. An
while returning thanks for the bless
Jugs they enjoy, let them not forge
the poor, who have been less fortu
nate and may be suffering for tn
necessaries of life. We are a pros
