Let Us Give TUanks. - T
We publish to-day Gov. Bradford s Procla
mation, calling upon the good people Of the
State to observe the coming 7th of December; in
accordance with the proclamation of President
Johnson. We hope the people .. everywhere,
throughout the length and breadth of the land,
will give earnest heed to these Proclamations. —
Let the day be marked, not simply by a cessa
tion from toil. Let it not be given to 1 hunting,
conviviality or any other frivolous amuscfhCnt,
But let all the people, as one man, asseijofeie In,
their churches, and with one heart and voice,
send up to the Great Giver of all-gaod, a com
mon Anthem of devout Thanks-givlng > awl xu
earnest supplication for Mis continued me^ey^o,
If ever there was a 'in the
history of our pouhtry, calculated to stii* ttie
deepest gratitude of the Nation's (ljeart, that day
is now. Who that can look back upon the past
fonr years of bloodshed an4strife, of desolation
and woe, of anxions doubt and waveriagbopc, of
broken hearts, of desolated homes- of ravaged
fields and all the dark train that wuit ,jdrt Wtvr,
but feels bis heart swell within him at the
thought that through the blessing of God, the
death struggle is over, thu great object is accom
plished, and that a future ofvfieace, prosperity
and happiness is before us ? Jit) 1 vvc ihave ruueh
to be thankful for. mw a, ; i n ;- (
Not only has it “pleased Almighty God, du
ring the year which is now coming to an tend, to
relieve our beloved country from the scourge
of civil war, and tu permit ns to secure-the blessr
ings of peace, unity and hannojUj. .a great.
enlargement of civil liberty b^"uur. ; ljcaJ'eny
• ly Father has, also, duriug the; year, graciously
averted from us the calamities of foreign war,
pestilence and famine, while our granaries are
full of the fruits of an ahdndftnt seflsoh.”
And mere than this. The nation has already
started on the backward track of redemption
and reconstruction. Fields that were lately
turned by the rude plough-share of war, are al
ready groen with promising erops, and where
Death gathered the last harvest, the coming
summer will sec theniowing-mitthine and sifckle.
Under the wise administration our rulers,; the
public debt is beiug rapidly, reduced, and the
currency necessitated by the war being gradu
ally withdrawn and converted, into national
bonds. The people are paying their tastes with
a readiness that indicates their resolution as. well
as their ability to bear the burdens, of the war.—
Predicted revulsions in business have not occur
red. Trade is active and prpspetous, apd the
whole nation feels the vigor of a new life in every
vein of her organism.
The grent armies which won for ns* this bless
ed Phace, have been quietly absorbed into the in
dustrial operations of the country. The trans
formation has been marked by-no rude excesses,
no perceptible jar in the social snaebinery. The
passions of war have subsided. The brave men
who won such glorious victories from- the can
non’s month, have demonstrated their abiHty to
win a yet more glorious victory over their own
hearts. The hands that swung the sabre ami
aimed the rifle with such profound success, arc
just as skillful in the use.of the pen, the plough
and the hammer.
The suffering that usually fellows in the wake
of a great war has not been visited upon
None, indeed, can measure the anguish of hearts
whose treasure lies bleaching.on the battle-field
or mouldering ia the prison burying-ground.—
None can tell tire weariness of those who arc
waiting for footsteps whose echo shall be heard
no more. But the nation is kind to her defend
ers. She gives her tenderest sympathies to the
bereaved, and her liberality has been manifested,
in every form to relieve.. tjip.£alarui ties of the dis
tressed. v.*, eiititl
Nor should the people of the South be unmind
ful of the coming Thanksgiving ; occhsion.-'. To
their sharo of the common misfortunes of war—
and God knows they have had a heavy share—
is given the additional lot of defeat. 1 Yet even
in that defeat there is cause for gratitude. The
thralldom in which they have been field is broken.
The leaders who used them for their own ambi
tions ends are overthrown. The? Declaration of
Independence is to-day a living reality, alike' to
them and to us. The rights -of the eomtnon peo
ple are established. SaVfery, ‘"The Iliad of all
our woes,” the blight of their section, the . curse
of the entire land, is crushed under the heel of
Democratic progress. Deadly doctrines have
been purged away in blood. Their - industrial
pursuits are regenerated and plnced bn a suro ba
sis. Class-interests have been broken down.—
While there is unavoidably some disturbance in
their social organization, owing to the* great
changes of the war, it ia,a-cause for thankful
ness to know, that order is being rapidly restored.
The freedmen are finding their places and grad
ually dropping into them. The good- work of
reconstruction goes rapidly ftnfi snccte&fhlly on
ward. Through the generous policy of bur
President, the old feelings of unity and fellow
ship are coming back. Those who but yester
day were our enemies, are to-day the objects .ot
our earnest sympathy and solicitude. Undet all
the furrows of war, good seed was buried, dnd
the harvest will come in due time.
Peace reigns throughout the land, tfot, a
Peace that “tinkles.pn.the shepherd’s bells” and
dies away with the nightfall; but a strong and
abiding conviction, deep down in the hearts of
the people, that we are to-day and must forever
be ONE GREAT HARMONIOUS NATION.
NO MORE SECESSION ! < 1
NO MORE DISUNION !
no more Slavery \
For all these things leLus give thanks:—thanks
that the flag of our. Fathers is stfll our flag ; that
thoagh it is scarred and blackened with four
years of tempest and war* its stars are still all
there. And as we unite oor Thanksgivings for
this inestimable national blessing, let ns invoke
the Deity that it may so continue while His own
stars redeem the night from darkness and the
morning sunlight beau tides the coming day. ;

A Correction. A v > 7
We have received a note from “A Passehger r ’
on board the Clipper “Independent” oh her voy
age up “Salt River,” , tvho complains that we
didn’t tell the whole tr.utb about tbe devices on
the opposition Tickets voted at tbelast election.
“A Passenger” also encloses specimens of all’
those Tickets, (there werem different designs in
all,) among which are ftW'Tt'hlch we had not
seen when we wrote the article in last week’s
Union. One of these bears tbe picture of two
bauds, closed in a very friendly grasp, which ,is
probably symbolic of the league formed between
the Copperheads and a few misguided Union
men of our county. The other has on ■lt a na
tional flag, floating in STTTIs proud beauty.—
This purports to be a “General picket,” tftfll
contains the npmes of all . tbe candidates but
Judge Emory. A friend of the tbe “Independ
ent’s’,’ crew, Btepped into oor Office on Sa tor day
last, and showed us this Ticket, but - added that
it was printed by fnfdtafee, add was not intended
for common distribution? *Tf an 7 roore pickets

To the Readers of the Union.
Au Inducement to. New Subscribers.
.For fdmost a year the Union ha 3 been before
peopte of the county, in its enlarged and
sOljdMed form. During tbftt lime, the public
has had ample opportunity to judge of its merits.
U has humbly labored to promote the highest
interests of the County and aid the cause of our
commotf dountry. What it has been in the past,
it will continue to be in the future, with sueb
improvements as additional experience and in
creased patronage nmy give it. We cannot but
be gratified at the liberal manner with which
our ciiterpise has been sustained. But the Union
(pjtijtf *S-teiits|y fiavfe two subscribers, where to
day it has l.ut,oue. ..
We are anxious to increase Us circulation, be
lieving! it to’be for the public’s as well as our
own good. To do this wc must have the active
aid of our friends through the cpuuty. With a
little effort on their part, our List would be large
ly increased at lire beginning of the year.
As an inducement to new subscribers, we offer
to send tire Union , from this time to January Ist
’O7, for $2 00, to all such as accompany tluir
orders with the cash. Thus they will receive
the paper during tlie remaining part of this year,
free of cost.. /i.. .. ! •
The arrangement which we. have made, by
which most ! of onr subscribers can pay their
Bills at the Post offices wliiW thtty lift finii’ pa
per, proves a great convenience to them. The
suing gentlemen who receive the money for these
Bills, will also forward new subscriptions* .
We may also, in this eoumreiion, call. atten
; ~liun to the large amount of rending mattter pre
sented in this number of tire Union.
Front the style o” our type, few Counfy Papirs
contain more general reading than the Union ,
and we think it is such ns will be found both
, interesting and valuable to our patrons. t• :
Treatment of Freedmen.
The papers state that three colored men.have
boon shot at Alexandria, Va., within the past
month, with common fowling pieces in thehands
of returned Rebel soldiers. Last Week a Judge
of one of the Virginia courts ordered a uegro to
lie publicly whipped for some trivial crime, under
the old Slave Code of that State.
Bills have been introduced into the South Car
olina Legislature empowering State officers to
seize all fire-amrs found in the possession of the
freedmen; to prevent -them from hereafter becom
ing possessed of arms, and to punish with sever
ity any white person proposing to sell the same
to them. Measures are also proposed to shut up
shops kept by lire freedmen, and to prohibit any
white person employing a negro servant without
the written consent of his or Iter former master
having first been obtained'.
Tn tliis Slate, negro churches and school-houses
arc beiug burned to such an extent that Gov.
Bradford has issued a Proclamation offeringa re
ward of SSOO for the .ipecudiary who fred.scver
alsucli buildings in Kent county. a: ■> ■:
Now wc submit to any reasoning tuind, thtit
ibis is not the way to secure the results Of the
war and restore peace and good order through
out the land. s , ;
Wherever tire question,of uegro suffrage has
been brought up in the North, it lias been emphat
ically voted down. There is hot n small minor
ity anywhere who talk of “ forcing ” it on tbe
people. But the withholding of .this privilege
does not auuul our obligations to treat the untor
tuuante blacks with common humanity. It does
not authorize us to burn the rude churches where
they meet to worship our common Creator, nor
the little school-houses where their beclouded in
tellects are struggling into light. Mitch less does
it give us the privilege of shooting them down
like wild game and giving tlieir bodies ns carrion
to birds of p rey.
At lenst, the negro is to day a free man, and as
such has certain rights and privileges. To ignore
this fact in our dealings with him, to enact dis
criminating laws against him, to spurn him as a
pest or a wild beast, is .4 violation of implied
Itw, an act of injustice to him, it shame and au
injury to the community at large. We all know
that his religious ideas arc rude, his intellect
weak, bis practical knowledge limited. But tire
lowest sentiment of human chivalry should make
us scorn to throw obstacles in his way, when he
is humbly and quietly striving to enlarge and
strengthen his limited powers. We detest the
mart who hviltrents bis horse. We like to see
fairness even in a dog-fight. Should wc rtot deal
as generously with the unfortunate human beings
whom God has placed in our midst.

vitude, excejn as a punishment for crime, whereof
the party shall have been duly convicted, shall
exist within the United States, or any place sub
ject to their jurisdiction.
Section 1. Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation.

Indian Summer.
Short nnd beautiful is that lovely season
through which we are now passing. It is the
last foot-fall of Autumn as he yields tbe sceptre
to his stern successor. Tbe landscape is bathed
in a warm, rich haze, while hill and valley,
meadow and upland, still adorned here nnd there
with gay Autumnal tints, shine with a subdued
but royal splendor. The sky overhead is blue
as sapphire, curtained with a few fleecy clouds
that hang in utter idleness. The insects, invig
orated by the genial warmth, bare come forth
to add another hour to tbeir brief day of Life,
and are sporting in the sunlight, unmindful of
the morrow’s frost. Everything is invested with
a certain dreamy languor, and nature herself
seems apprehensive that each day may be her last.
This is the “Indian’s” bunting season, bis har
vest time, when he gathers iu his store of wild
game for Winter use. From this circumstance,
the season gets its name. An Tudian tradition,
refers it to otic of their deities' named Coutanto
witt, who resides in the South, and sends warm >
winds and sunny weather, favorable for hunt- 1
iog.
Whittier speaks of tbe season in this wise :
“From gold to gray,
Our mild, sweet day
Of Indian Summer fades too soon : i
. But tenderly (
Above the sea
Hangs, white and calm, the hunter’s moon.” I
I The Young Men’s Christian Associ
ation.
This is an association, organized by young
men of Baltimore, for mutual religious and in tel-*
I lectual benefit. There is nothing secMvian 1n ill 1
character, being composed of members of all re
ligious denominations. Many young men’from
ull parts of tbe country become permanent or
temporary residents of the city, as clerks, salcV
men, studeuta, mechanics, &c., who are thereby
cut off from the restraints of home and the salu
tary influences of religious associations. To sup
ply this want, to throw around this large nnd in
teresting class a chain of brotherly sympathy and
guard them against the vices of ,qity life, this as
sociation was instituted. Through the cartiest
labors of its friends it has become firmly estab-.
fished, and is now one of the leading social and
moral institutions of the city. At 160 W. Bal
timore street, tlrey have a good-sized audience
room tor business and religious meetings, besides
a large library and reading room, furnished with
the leading literary and religious periodicals of
the day, nnd n choice collection of books for the
use of members. The reading room is open dai
ly to all who wish to enter. They also publish
a monthly Journal, devoted to moral and religi
ous reading and advertising. This journal is dis
tributed gratuitously throughout the city, and
will be furnished to Sunday Schools and indigeut
neighborhoods throughout the country, on tire
same generous terms.
The association has also made arrangements
to have a course of lectures delivered at the Marv
laud Institute during the Winter. On this (Fri
day,) evening, November 17th, Mr. Oscanyan,
the celebrated Eastern traveller, delivers the first
of the course on “The Women of Turkey.” As
none but the best lecturers will be employed, they
will no doubt be both interesting and profitable.
Tickets for any single lecture or for the entire
course, can be bad of L. M. Havcrstick, at the
Union office. Mr. 11. will also furnish any one
with copies of “The Young Men’s Journal,” and
will send the same to any Sunday School officer
brother jrerson in tire county who may fed dis
posed to aid in its circulation.
The Rail-Road Bridge at Havre-de-
Grace.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Commercial ,
gives the following account ot this
structure :
It will, when completed, stretch upon the
thirteen piers, two hundred and seventy-five feet
apart, from Periyville to Havre-de-Grace, the
whole length being about three thousand eight
hundred feet. The height of the bridge will be
twenty-five feet above the water, with a pivot
draw of one hundred & twenty feet in the centre,
to allow tbe passage of schooners and steamers.
A magnificent abutment will be built at each
end in which and under the railway , will be the
'regular Station offices and rooms of tlia Compa
ny, finished in elaborate style. lire one on
this side rests upon solid rock about six feet be
low the water surface, and laid in concrete. Tire
foundation upon the l’erryville side was made
by sinking piles down to the level of the water,
then by means of a circular saw attached to an
upright shaft, hollowed to give it buoyancysaw
ed off even with the bottom of the river. Many
of the piers w ere founded in the same mauner,
but where the rock could be,reached it was fit
ted w iiii an iron casing the of the base ofthe
pier, ami in it were laid by 1 lie hands of (he di
cers the Courses of heavy stone afid layers of ca
sing. Thus all the foundations except four have
been secured. Tire mode of then constructing
the pier is novel and ingenious. Square beams
of timber, one foot in thickness, in four alternate
layers, arc fastened together and made water
tight. Over them is placed an iron easing larger
than the surface of tbe under-water foun
dation, ami bolted firmly to tlie raft. This then
is moored directly above the pier’s foundation,
and on it is built the first course of stone, then
another, with another casing, until it gradually,
sinks down, down to tire place prepared for it at
the bottom of the river. The piers will all be
i enclosed iu iron, water-tight, presenting a sharp
angle to the river and slightly inclining from it.
1 The superstructure will be of wired, ex|ierienoe,
rather costly, too, haviug taught this company,
that at the high rate of sliced they run, wood is
, more durable than iron. One million dollars
has already been spent upon tbe bridge ; it will
require one und a half millions more to finish it.
No fears are entertained of its proving a complete
success. The piers finished last winter stood
without injury, the tremendous pressure of the
accumulated ice and fearfully high water. —
These will, of course, be firmer with the added
weight of the sujierstniclure. The work is being
pressed rapidly to completion and will probablu
. be finished in the fall of 1866. It was begun it'
the summer of 1861.
Gen. Logan on the CopperHfe’ads.
This gallant and distinguished officer in one of
his spirited charges on the Copperheads of Ne\v
Jersey, during the late Gubernational campaign,
made use of the following lunguuge. Gen. Lo
gan was a leading Democrat in the West
the war:
Tell me, wheu the victory was on the side of
the Union troops, who laughed and shouted for
joy, nnd who sulkily went away and cursed the
day and hour that the victory was won 7 Was
it the man who claimed to be a loyal man ? Was
it the mau who whs a Democrat who was for sus
taining the Government ? Was it the Republi
can—was it tbe Abolitionist—tbe man you lmte
so much —was he the man who came up aud sneer
ed when he saw your boys from New Jersey had
won a victory? [Cries of “No.”] Or was it
the proud Democratic party that claims to be the
saviour of this country at all times when the
country is iu trouble ?
Now, 1 do not know how it was here, but I
know in my part of the country, whore 1 happen
ed to be home once or twice during the war, and
where it is a good deal like Jersey, I would see
groups of people on the corner; a telegraphic
despatch had come—a great battle fought—ten
thousand killed and wounded —so many prison
ers captured; you would see one of these Cop
perheads come up and commence reading it, (that
is, if he could read,) he would call some old gen
tleman up who had a 6on in tire army : “l)o you
see that? Didn’t I tell you, you couldn’t whip
these Southerners ? See! Gen. McClellan has been
licked again I” (Cheers and laughter.) “ Just
write to your hoys to come home ; it's all nou
sensc, this thing; you never can Whip these peo
ple; you can’t do it; and this war is for nothing
at all, except just to abolish slavery ; that’s all
its for ; I tell you, they don’t get any of tny boys,
and they ben’t going to get nary a dollar either,
in no such way as tlmt.” Next day comes an
other despatch : Vicksburg has fallen ; or the bat
tle of Gettysburg. You see this man walk up.
What is this? Oh ! A great battle fought again
—a great Union victory ; 10,000 Rebels killed
and wounded, and 15,000 made lie
looks at it and shrugs his shoulders, and says :
“ Look here ! that’s a cursed Abolitiou lie.” —
[Laughter and cries of‘That’s the way of them!’]
Now. 1 don’t know that any one ever did 'bat
way down in New Jersey, but over where I lived
that was exactly the way they acted, and they
tell me Copperheads are a good deal alike every
where. [Laughter.]
Reconstruction.
President Johnson is proceeding very cautious
ly in this work. The apparent unwillingness of
tire Southern Legislatures to adopt those meas
ures which he has informed them are “indispen
sable” to the restoration of the States, has put
him on his guard and has evidently shaken his
faith in their patriotism and honesty. He hast
given directions that the Provisional Governors
of the several States, shall exercise their func
tions until relieved by special order. This will
probably settle the question against the admis
sion of Representatives to Congress from the se
ceded States.

Tiik CitY Mahk.kt^.- — From morn to night, the
York Road is lined with wagons of every cnpac
-1 ity and description, bearing to the city the varied
products of our fruitful county. Hay, grain, cat
tle, poultry, vegetables, butter, eggs, Ac., are the
usual freights, and as the long supply train moves
by, one wonders ar the vast amount of provision
annually consumed hr a large city. For the ben
efit of our country friends we copy tlie following
stateitjenl of the city mat Lets from the Baltimore
AttitfieanM Tuesday :
The markets of the city continue to be well at
tended, and some change of prices lias taken
place within the past few days. Game and poultry
! commands verv high prices, ns follows: Onnrhss
back, black and bald-pate ducks sell at from $3
1 to $4 per pair,no hotels and restaurants and this
in quantity. The smaller l irds are in profusion
and are lower. Turkeys sell from §2 50 to $4
> each, witiisl chickens vary ns to size
to $1 75 per pair. The fish department does not
: continue the great variety us previously offered,
and is declining in interest. Choice cuts of beef
are 25 cts. per pound, surloin steak do.; beef,
; for broiling, 35 cts.; hams, whole, 30 cents per
' pound ; sliced, 33 to 35 ; pork, 22 cts.; corn beef,
; 15 to 20; sausages 30 cts. per pound, and lard
: 30 cts. The price of butter has. varied, and some
of the best print was 65 to 7b cents per pound;
commonest roll went down to 40 cents. Apples
are very bigli,.".lid the qualities mostly from the*
1 North.' -flu; ALi'ylaud pippins, Uie best kind of
1 all, arc not often seen in our mantels. The form
-1 er range from 50 to 80 cents per peck. In this
connection it may be stated that the yield of this
1 fruit is so far lielow the avetAge that many of the
ext nsive cider mills will not run much. It would
* be a losing business to make cider when apples
are scarce and high. Eggs have gone up to 45
cents per dozen, scarcity being alleged its the
* cause of the advance. Irish potatoes 40 cents
per peek : sweet do. thesnnie ; turnips, 30 cents,
5 and good firm headset' cabbage Bto 10 criits
' each, or hundrep. supply is heavy,
■ and the senfi.Ti of kraut has commenced here on
a large scale. Dried fruits are almost fabulous
in price, viz: Reaches, pealed, 40 cents per qt.
or $3 20 per peek ; dried pears filename : dried
peaches, on pea led, 28 cents per quart: hominy,
1 uncooked, 10 rimis per quart, and superior cheese
28 cents per itonnd.

H l Towsontown Public School. — This school r.ittn
\ejxd upwards of 00 scholars during the quarter
about closing. This is the first quarter under the
new svhftol system, aud everybody seems satisfied
* wltfi The result. Oil Wednesday afternoon lasi,
by invitation of tile Teacher, Mr. S. I'. Bosley,
we attended an examination of the scholars. It
was without preparation, being generally a re
view of the studies of the past quarter. We were
, no less pleased than surprised at the readiness
with which the questions were answered, and we
feel safe in assuring the people that their childteti
are making commendable progress under Mr.
Bosley. We only regret, in common with the
Teacher, that more of the patrons of llie school
were not present. The scholars seem to be ad
vancing thoroughly as well as rapidly. Mr. Bos
ley teaches by the oral method, encouraging the
pupil to reason and think for himself. He is not
confined to the strict phraseology of the text
books. In this way theioung tuind is strength
ened and a great deal of general information is
imparted not given in the books. Tho few pa
rents who were presuit expressed themselves much
pleased with the examination. Mr. Bosley com
plains at the irregular attendance of some of his
scholars. We hope parents will see the necessity
of prompt and regular attendance, if they wish
their children to make rapid advancement.
Thk Appointment of Mahistrates. —Under the
new Constitution, the Governor appoints the
Justices oTthe Peace for the several counties and
cities throughout the State. VVe understand
Gov. Bradford is about making these appoint
ments. They will hold office for two years.—
Baltimore county, will have 53 Justices, distrib
uted ns follows :
The Ist,-3d, 9th, and 12th Districts, each 6 ;
The Bth, and 11th, each 4 ; The 2d, 4lb, sjh,
Ctli, 7th', 10th and 13th, each 3.
The office is one of importance to the commu
nity, and it is. very desirable that it be placed in
the hands of proper men. That the best men
h ive not, in all cases, filled the position, may be
known from the large number of appeals that
come before the circuit Court at every term.
It is not possible for the Governor always to
select the best men from mere personal acquaint
ance. And we have no doubt he would be glad
to receive recommendations for the appointment
of suitable persons throughout the county.

Thanksgiving Day.
State of M aryland, \
Executive Department. /
We hail at this time, with a livelier sensibility
than usual, the approach of our customary sea
son of thanksgiving; for not only has a merci
ful God spared our lives, averted so far from our
State the pestilence which has infested other lands
and crowned the labors of the year with abund
ant fruitfulness, but in answer to the prayers
which have been everywhere so earnestly uttered,
He ha 3 vouchsafed us the blessing for which all
hearts have of late chiefly ancj most devoutly
yearned.
The clouds of war, which for fhc last four year*
have so fearfully darkened onr prospect, have
been dissipated ; the bright and blessed light of
Peace again illuminates our whole horizon ; the
fraternal strife in which we have been engaged
is ended ; the Nation lias been preserved, its au
thority re-established and universally acknowl
edged, and its people preparing to re-uuite as of
old, are looking forward again to the glorious
destiny of the, American Republic under auspices
more encouraging than ever before greeted us.
With hearts gladdened at the thought of these
results, and grieved only at the recollection of
the gallant men who have perished to ecure them,
let us join in the public thanksgiving that the
National Authorities have aheadv ordered.
.To that end, I, AUGUSTUS W. BRADFORD,
Governor of Maryland, do by this my Proclama
tion, appoint THURSDAY, the 7th day ot De
cember next, to lie observed throughout the State
as a day of GENERAL THANKSGIVING AND
PRAYER. Let us upon that day abstain from
all ordinary business pursuits, nnd with meek and
reverent hearts, return thanks to our Heavenly
Father for these and all the other mercies received
at His hands ; and invoking His especial blessing
upon the Widows nnd Orphans of the honored
dead, let its entreat Him so to direct the hearts of
their survivors, that they may prove themselves
worthy of the great sacrifice by which their de
liverance lias been accomplished.

Ghebly on Confiscation.—Horace Grecly, re
viewing a ferocious speech lately delivered in
Pennsylvania, urging confiscation of Southern
Property says :
“Unless all history is a fable, the Government
would realize next to nothiug from this whole- ,
sale confiscation. Who can recall an instance
wherein a treasury was filled or a public debt ex- j
linguisbed by the proceedings of a confiscation ?
Marshals, judges, informers, denouncers, specula
tors, and the whole vulture tribe, whom the scent
of a fat carcase called together, would become
suddenly and fabulously rich ; but precious little <
net proceeds would ever reach the Treasury, un
less human nature has totally changed within a
few years; and of such a change we can see no
evidence. Worse than all, the Southern people
would starve to death while the transformation
was in progress. No one would sow, iu. doubt as
to who should reap :no one build, or repair, or i
make any considerable improvement on land se- <
questrated and about to be sold to the highest
bidder; all would be stagnation, disgust, hesi
tancy—no one employing labor and no one choos
ing to add to the valuation of a property he with ~
very scanty means, was hoping to buy. In bur
deliberate judgement, Mr. Stevens' proposition if e
executed, would kill mote of the blacks than the y
war has sent to their graves and not many fewer
of the whites.”
