against the wrong doers. But this can-
not be- expected. since the Developments

We must. therefore. look elsewhere for
relief. We start. now, upon the basis
that only the legal and authorized debts
Of the State shall be assumed by the
taxpayers. Hence. our duty is to dis

also be placing it before the tribunal oi

A Coincidence.


The sth day of October is twice memorable
in the history of the United States. On the
9th of October, 1864, the fair Valley Of the
Shenandoah was laid waste by Sheridan and
bis hosts. Our houses, our barns, our mills,
and even our sanctuaries dedicated to God,
became prey to this relentless 6re-feud.-
For City miles burning houses and barns lit up
our Valley, and upon every hand the cries Of
our frightened women and children fell upon
the ears of the relentless demons Seven years
have rolled round. The anniversary Of that
awful day is marked by burning homes and
wide spread desolation. Chicago the beauti-
ful city Of the west, has fallen victim to the
flames. Michigan, the home of those who
obeyed the inhuman orders of Sheridan, the
fire fiend Of the Shenandoah, is desoated by
the far reaching tongue Of an irresistible fire.
Thousands have persisted in the flames. As
if to make the coincidence perfect, Sheridan
figures in both. 1.-The mills of the gods grind
slowly, but fine "-Shenundoah Herald.
We will be pardoned, we are sure, for re-
publishing, from our neighbor Of the Shenan-
doah Herald, the reference to the singular
coincidence" mentioned above. Never shall
we forget, while life and thought and memory
last, the 9Th Of October, 1864. We never full
ly realized the horrors of our dreadful war I'M
til then. We had seen our friends and neigh
bors brought home from the field of battle
MANNED, bleeding dying, and dead, and we
considered this legitimate warfare; but when
Sheridan was ordered by Grant to burn the
barns and the mills and the means of sustain
ing the lives of the helpless women and chill
dren Of the Valley, we felt that we were at
war with fiends.- Rockingham Register.

*The names of Radicals in halic.

L. S. GRANT, President General, has is
sued a proclamation, appointing Thursday,
the 30th day of November next, as a Thanks
giving Day, and recommending the people of
the different States to meet together in their
places of worship and thank God for the
blessings He has conferred, and for their merci
ful exemption from evils. If the proclamation
did not also suggest that we should invoke His
protection, it would be regarded by many of
us as cruel mockery When large portion
o! the country is under martial law. part of it
actually and much more virtually, when peo-
pie are driven from their iresides aud forced to
abandon fields on which they find it hopeless
to attempt to garner their harvests, when there
is no tranquility at home, although there
may be peace abroad, when many States are
suffering under an oppression greater than
that which conquering Germany forces upon
France, when the grievous calamities with
which we are afflicted cone from the very
hand that issues the proclamation, it does, in
deed seem to be almost profanity.
There are many, doubtless, who will meet
on that day and bow subu,issively, impOring
protection against ills which they cannot
avoid, and invoking relief from burdens which
are too heavy to bear. 10 them it will be
day of fasting and prayer, and there will
doubtless be more voices lifted in humble sup
