THANKSGIVING.
A Proclamation by the President of the
United States.

A Proclamation by the President of the
United States.
The following Thanksgiving proclama-
ton was issued by President Hayes, Oc-
tober 29th:
The completed circle of summer and win
ter seed time and harvest has brought US to
the accustomed season at which religious
people celebrate with praise and thanksgiv-
ing the enduring mercy of Almighty God.
This deyout and public confession of the
constant dependence of man upon his
Divine Father for all the good gifts of life
and health and peace and happiness, so
early in our history made the habit of our
people, finds in survey of the past year
grounds for it's joyful and grateful mani
festations. In all blessings which depend
upon the seasons, this has indeed been a
memorable year. Over wide territory of
our country, with all of its diversity of soil
and climate and products, the earth has
yielded a bOuntiful return to the labor of
the husbandman. The health OF the peo-
pie has not been blighted by any
prevalent and widespread diseases.
No great disasters of shipwreck
upon our coasts or to our commerce on the
seas have brought loss and hardships to the
merchants or mariners and clouded the hap
pIness OF the community with sympathetic
sorrow. In all that concerns our strength
and peace and greatness as a nation: in all
that touches the permanence and security
OF our government and the beneficent insti-
tutons on which it rests; in all that affects
the character and dispositions of our people
and tests our capacity to enjoy and uphold
the equal and free condition of society now
permanent and universal throughout the
land, the experience of the last year is con-
splcuously marked by the protecting provi-
dence of God and is full of promise and hope
Tor the coming generations. Under Il sense
OF these infinite obligations to the Great
Ruler of times and seasons and events let us
humbly ascribe il to our own faults and
frailties If in any degree that perfect con-
cord and happiness, peace and justice,
which such great mercies should difiuSt
through the hearts and lives OF our people,
do not altogether and always and
everywhere prevail. Let us with one
spirit and one voice lift up praise and
thankse living to God for his manifold good
ness to our land; His manifest care for this
nation. Now, therefore, |, Rutherford b.
Hayes, President of the United States, do
appoint, Thursday, the Goth day of Novem-
Der next, aa day for national thanksgiving
and prayer, and earnestly recommend that,
Withdrawing themselves from secular cares
and labors, the people of the United States
do meet together on that day in their re-
spective places of worship, there to give
thanks and praise to Almighty God for His
mercles and to deyGutly beseech their con-
tinuance. In witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed. Done in the
city of Washington, this Doth day of October,
in the year of our Lord, A. ID. 1877 of the
independence of the United States 1862.

full-armed garrison is commanded by
Suleiman Pasha, one of the oldest Turkish

Spuz.
THE Russians are in force near Rusabeyr,
whence they threaten Razardjik.
THE total number of prisoners captured
at Dubnik and Telische was 7 900, including
two pashas, 200 officers and an English col
onel in the Turkish service. After the vie
tories at Dubnik and Telische, Russian
scouts approached Rodomirze whereuon
Chevket Pasha with u battalons, fled from
there without waiting to destroy the bridge
The Russian cavalry is in pursuit.
SERvIAN communication to the Porte
says Servia's military measures are solely
t. protect her frontier, and Servia hopes for
the maintenance of good relations with
Turkey.
CORRESPONDENTS who was an eye wit
ness, telegraphs from Erzeroum, as follows ::
As the Turks were evacuating Hassan
Kaleh on the Goth, the Russians surprised
the rear guard, taking two battalions
prisoners. The Russian loss was insenif-
cant. The enemy's approach was utterly un-
expected. The Turks now occupy for
midable position at Deve Boyum, the last
defensive position east of rrzeroum.
IELIsCIIE was surrounded on the 2Sth in
slant by one cavalry and two infantry brig
AIDES, the Imperial Guard and one brigade
of Cossacks. 1t was bombarded two hours
by y guns, when the small Turkish garrison
surrendered. The number of killed and
wounded was insignificant.
CORRESPONDENT says the Russians are
certifying positions at Dubnik and Telische
as they are threatened with a combined
attack by Osman and Chevket Pashas
GEN. NIHAB, Il Pole, is appointed SuIei
man Pasha's chief of staff, and Gen Nina, q

vision at Rasgrad.
KARs is completely invested. Gen. Tergu
kasotf has occupied Bayazid.
ERZERoUM is preparing for a siege. The
inhabitants are arming, and reinforcements
are Fastening up from Trebizond. Ghaz
Moukhtar, however, reports that the Rus
slams have not advanced further than Mel
lido, on the western slope Of Soghanl
Dagh, which is more probable than the frs
statement. Doubtless a state of panic pre-
walls at Erzeroum, giving rise to all sorts o
unfavorable rumors.

Death of Senator Morton.

Senator Oliver p. Morton died at In
dianapolis, Ind, November l.. About
noon on that day Mrs. Morton and her
two sons, by her request, were left alone
with the senator for about an hour. Be
fore O'Clock it became evident he had
entered upon his last hour on earth. He
had rested the greater portion of the day
in half sitting position, but as he grew
weaker the supporting pillows were
withdrawn so that he lay prone upon the
bed. A deep silence now pervaded the
room, and remained unbroken except by
an occasional question to the dying man.
Once wnen the dying senator exclaimed,
" am dying his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Holloway, inquired, " You are not afraid
to die, Oliver?' he indicated no by
shaking his head. Soon. after q similar
exclamation, question and answer pass
ed between him and DR.. Thompson. At
ten minutes past 5 O'Clock he exclaimed,
" | am dying; | am worn out" and
these were his last words. From this on
it was difficult to discover that life re-
manned.

a daughter was born to Senator Gordon,
of Georgia, whom he named " Carolina y

which had taken place little while be-
fore. The child died in few months,
but some ladies of Columbia, South Caro-
lima, who had decided to testify their APP
probation both of the senator's labOrs III
their cause and of his motive in naming
his daughter, by presenting her with a
baptismal font, have had one made,
which will soon be given to Mr.. Gordon.
1t is wrought of solid sterling silver, and
stands from base to rim twelve inches in
height, and measures in diameter across
the top ten inches The interior is
heavily lined with gold, and is ornament
ed with engraved patterns. On one side
of the bowl is deeply engraved the coat
of arms of South Carolina, and on the
opposite side the coat of arms of Georgia.
Around the rim are inscribed the words
of Hampton's dispatch to Gordon upon
the removal of the United States troops
from the state house at Columbia,
namely: "The troops have been re-
moved. Perfect peace prevails. Thank
you.-Wade Hampton, April II, 1877. y

LATEST FOREIGN ADVICEs.

LONDON, November "a Paris co
respondent, commenting on the less con
ciliatory tone of the M0niteur and other
semi-official papers, says the reason for
it is that the ministry has decided to be
governed by the result of the elections
for the councils general.
A Paris correspondent asserts that the
following semi-otficial note has been sent
to the provincial papers: at appears to
have been decided at the last Cabinet
council that the present Cabinet will re-
main in Office till November 9TH. After
the elections to the councils gen
eral the government will find it
self IN the presence of two
extreme policies, one of resistance to
the chamber of deputies with the sup
port OF the senate, the other of complete
concession, bringing into office ministry
composed exclusively of the Left. The
present disposition of the Marshal
does not admit of the other
policy; however, the President is
willing to see if it be not possible to
arrive at some kind of a compromise by
which the Left of the chamber of depu-

be represented i'll the cabinet, thereby
establishing harmony between the two
houses"
