The proclamations of the Governors for
Thanksgiving Day reflect• the united tone
of the religion and patriotism of the people.
Battle-field and harvest mingle in the
chorus of praise . to that Power which
makes the harvedt grow, and sways the
storm of war in the interest of .enduring
justice—the wounds of the soldier, the cry
of the widow and the fatherless, are not for
gotten ; our enemies are not abandoned of
our charity but blessing is invoked for
the sword which destroys, as for the phi
lantbropyThich saves ; and, in the hour
of duty, the nation kneels with its armor
on. The thanksgiving of Gov. SESAIOIiIi,
may be supposed, is a misere for sins which
he disclaims as his own-; but it contains a
touching' thought of the poor; Whom true
thanksgiving cannot permit us to forget.
No people have so much cause to thank
God. Ingrates and malcontents praise other
lands at the expense of their own, and with
the freedom .they enjoy steal license to
abuse it. But amid all the earthquake and
siege of war, the strong foundations of our
popular freedom are sate and sound. 'Poland
is crushed ; Ireland is ever poor; France,
Russia, Austria, and Prussia are despo-.
; the people of Etigland are still re
tainers of nobility ; Mexico has been bought
and sold ; in all these lands the people are,
more or less, herds to.theirrllers and, mud
sills upon which aristocracy has laid the
base of its throne. To all' these America
has been a r s efuge, and even to-day its free
dom is above ell price and comparison. The
peace of tyranny is never to be compared
with the war of freedom. Progressive
above all other republics, because here re
ligion and opinion ar•e free, and the spirit
of the popular franchise is equality, the
Union is a living, natural, and permanent
power. Here freedom; in its best form,
proves mightier than slavery in its worst,
and in a contest between. systems lays
its powerful hand: to the very' root
of evil, and shows to the world that
'institutions as great as ours had the germ
•of their redemption,, rather than that of
their ruin. The flower of our safety has
bloisoreed• out of "the nettle danger."
Rather than'repine.at the just necessity of
war, we, should thank God that he , has
given us opportunity to be great, and, out
'of the freedom with which we are endowed,
called forth the power and virtue to savelt
- for ourselves, and for mankind, andposte,
rity. Thanks to God must' cover thanks to
all ; to the soldier, who has nobly striven
and'suffer•ed ; to the poor, who have given
to the war their h'eart's best service and sa
crifice ; to the laborer and mechanic, true
to the cause of free labor; to the rich, who
have offered c up their wealth and effort—all
must have place in the feast, and to the
soldier the highest. But it is proper most
- to thank God, not for a victory achieved,
_but for the strength to complete it. " All
that we have done is nothing; unless we do
more." Out of out own truth must we
- thank God that be has kept us time.
The Catholic Church and the Rebellion.
From an esteemed and distinguished
friend in the county of Chester we have
the following. We publish it at his
_re
quest, not .alone beoause TELE PRESS is an
independent newspaper, with its own
.opinions and- convictions, yet ready to
„give both sides of all questions a fair hear
ing, but because we like the writer per
.sonally, and propose a few wordg of reply
to his indignant assault _upon the Catholic
Church : , .
You have published an editorial today designed
to whitewash theCatholia Church from the stain of
Indifference to, if not sympathy for, this diabolical
rebellion. You quote Bishop Purcell. lie is right;
Lis heart Is right, and out of its abundance his
mouth has frequently uttered maledictions against
the traitors. His paper, published at Cincinnati, is
stund. His brother-M.I4W, General Roseerans, La
-true as steel to the old flag. Now, Mr. Editor, what
-other bishop in the Church has preached or prayed
against the rebelst Has the Northern Catholic
.Church sent forth its thundering anathemas against
-the rebellion in any of its convocations 1 No. The
Catholic press of this country, to a great extent, is
-the most vindictive and defamatory against the war
and the Government of any papers in America.
Witness the Pilot and.the Record. Now, it is a
.known fact that the whole body of the Catholic
-voters in this country, with a small upper -trust ex
.ception, voted in solid earnestness the Copperhead
ticket. That vote has got to be enormous and sort
-ova. It is as Brownson has said :If it were not for
That vote there would be no Peace party at the
North: Let the American people take note, as we
pats through this sifting, fiery trial, that the corn
biped Catholic vote of this country was cast for a
party rather than for the war and the utter over
-throw of the rebellion ; that, they voted in sympathy
- with the British aristocracy, the oppressors of Ire
land, and just as the enemies or this country, the
-traitors at home and abroad, desired. While the
great body of the members of this Church have
treasonahlY- voted, their bishops and priests have
remained silent. In. Contrast, look at the various
Protestant sects - of the land ! They have been
v.ealous and outspoken. The influence exercised has
been patriotic and powerful. Lincoln may appoint
ten thousand Catholic generals; Dan Dougherty,
General Siekles, Bishop Purcell, and others may
talk themselves blind ; in the face of all this the
Catholic vote in New York :state will ipo'no,ooirin
aid and comfort of this horrid rebellion, and 50,000
In Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia the main dill
:entity you had to contend . against was this ferocious
- vote. In all the minin g counties in the interior it
- was this vote which gave to, McClellan his heavy
majorities. Even in Chester county it takes one
-thousand American votes, to kill off this foreign vote.
It is this vote which corrupts the ballot-box with
frauds. - It is this combined element in oar politics
which explodes in mobs, and to keep quiet which
the Government was put to much care arid expen
diture in forcing into good behavior at the het
election. •• • . . • .
-Now, Iffr.4.Cliter, if The Press is free to assert the
facts new, which must hereafter make a startling
chaptirlia• our: history of this terrible civil war,
please print the foregoing: Ba01).!tRiOII..
NOTYMBXR 21, late.
Let us begin, by admitting - that much of
what "Broderick" says is
.strongly- and
sadly true. It is true that the body' of
the Irish Catholic - vote in the late elec-.
- lions was thrown against the - Union party,
that only a 7 .yery few of the Catholic
-clergy ,kand, these, happily, the ablest)
boldly took sides with Mr. Lisicomi, and
that certain authoritative Catholic paper's
were . not only,. as our correspondent says,
" defarho o tory of the' war and' the Govern
ment," but also defamed the distinguished
Catholic qiishnien.. who sustained Mr.
LiNcomr. sWi.ta4 PrOfessor BROWNSON'S
- words as a still stronger proof of the truth
of this", our own concurrence, in what " Bro
derick" asserts. But there is also much
.
that our correspondent says in which we
‘do not concur.
Without expressing our wonder that any
'class of our adopted citizens much . less
- the Irish, should deliberately,. pronounce
-against a party, most of the leaders of
.which have- always been their consistent
firends, let us ask whether this indiscrimi
nate denunciation of any particular portion
of our
. people, adopted or native, can do
any good to the cause of our country ? Both
of the great parties of other days made of
the adopted citizens alternately the text and
pretext of praise and prejudice—alternate
ly coaxing and condemning them. With:
out •rcfcrence to the Native American
and Know. Nothing stampedes, themselves
both local and transitory, it is true that
- both. parties have coquetted with these
same adopted citizens ; and if We desired
to put a very fine point upon a very blunt
fact, we would say that there are to-day .
five times more friends of the Catholic
Irish among the leaders of the - Union
party : of the United States - than are
to. be found in the party so shame
lessly called Democratic. _Need we try to
prove this . by contrasting ANDREW JOIINSON
and DANIEL S. Dim - Not:ix with :TAMES
BROOKS and WILLI - Am B. REED? Why,
then, should the_ Union party be put in
antagonisni to the Catholic Irish because
• the latter voted for McCLELLAN ? Why
• should the Unionists for a moment allow
themsehres to become intolerant and pro
scriptive ? Let is beware falling into the
den of a merely sectional or sectarian cabal.
Remember the fate of all parties without
principle. That •should be our beacon and
our warning. Why do Anti-slavery and
Abolition live ? Because both are eternal
stars that shine down upon us from an eter„
nal heaven of principle. Why did Native
Americanism and Riaow-Nothinglam die ?
Because both started in passion, and, like
Passion, soon expired and exhaled. Lot
us, whose • mission it is to seal and solder
this Union anew and forever, stand Back
from any temptation like that too ably pre
sented by "Broderick." We certainly
cannot think that, .if it be, as he
says, our cause triumphed without the
Trish Catholic ChUrch - and its fol
lowers, it can ever fail against their FU
TURE ASSAULTS ? Our weakness and
our downfall may be,
° however, assured, if
we fail to keep ourselves absolutely anti
sectional and anti-sectarian.
And while we have seen, with great sor
row, the callous indifference of the
of the Catholic Irish clergy in the present
conflict, and have not refused to give them
credit for the fatal assumption that their
Church takei no part in struggles be
tween dynasties, standing ready to accept
either side, so that that which succeeds is
substantial and de facto, We do not conceal
our satisfaction that there are thousands of
able and self-sacrificing Catholics who are
anxious that this rule of a bigoted and too
frequently ignorant priesthood should be
•at once reformed or cease. The Catho
lic Church has done wonders in its
long.career. Admitting all that itlidevoteei
claim for it, it has done wonders. BUT IT .
IS NOT THE TUCK OF AGES: It may have
been the bulwark of monarchy in Mexico,
in Italy, in France - , and in Spain, and the
bitter. foe of progress in England and Ger
many, but it cannot.survive . a struggle with
the only free Government in the world.
The 'protests, not of young Ireland . alone,
against the tendency of the present mana
gers of the Church, but or the mighty,
Catholic intellects • of France, and of the
intrepid anti-slavery Irishmen of America,
should at least be effective to forewarn those
who mismanage and misdirect a great
Church organization, that their plots and
cabals may be consigned to the same hated
obscurity in which human slavery is forever
sepulchred. - .
The Last of the Southern Comthissioners.
It is not the least of Mr. JEWETT'S Ser-,
vices •to the Union, and throughout his
sensational diplomatic career. from Canada
to France, we believe he has been actuated
by loyal motives, that in urging his pecu
liar peace policy he has demonstrated the
impossibility of ever 'gaining anything for.
the 'Union by negotiations with the South
ern leaders. His conversation with Mr..
CL * AY, the rebel representative in Canada, ,
reported in his letter on our first page,
is additional evidence of the utter
absurdity of supposing that the Union
can ever be restored except by crush
ing the men who are sworn to destroy it.
Mr. CLAY, if we may judge him - by Mr.
JEAvErr's report, IA a clever diplomat. He
is wise enough to give up - the hopes of a
Icorthern revolutiqii, generally entertained
by the rebels before the election ; stubborn
enough to disbelieve the defeat of the
Southern armies ; smart enough to pretend
that the abolitiOn of slavery would obtain
European recognition bf the Confederacy,
and sophistical enough tp assume that the
uncompromising opposition of the Govern
nient to the rebel leaders is identical
with its policy toward the Southern people.
Mr. CLAY'S braggadocia is important so
far as it represents the rebel Government,
but it cannot deceive or alarm the North.
We. do not need one to ' come from the
giave or ,Richmond to tell us that the Jeff
Davis usurpation will never yield the dream
of independence and slavery'. These rebels
will fight to the last. But we know that
the. present Policy of the Administra
tion is one of conciliation to the-South
ern people ; that it tends. to alienate
them • from their false leaders, and
that every day more forcibly demon
strates tb the South that its interests are
all with the Union. The prosecution of
the war against the rebellion, and concilia
tion of the Southern people, are the great
principles upon,which we must - rest. It is
the fault of that peace movement, of which
Mr. JEWETT iS a leader, that it does not.
make any clear distinction between nego
tiation with the rebel leaders and general
offers of peace to the people of the South
ern States. Nevertheless, we are glad
to read anything that Mr. CLAY may
informally send through trustworthy
sources in regard to the purposes
of'. the Richmond Government. These
boasts of Southern unanimity, and
threats of EurOpean recognition, are . in
tended to frighten the North into a com
promise with the rebel leaders, but they
serve a better purpose. They -show the,
folly of the armistice recommended by the
Chicago Convention, and justify the course •
of-the Government ; they convince us that
we shall get nothing from the rebel rulers•
but what we can conquer from them, and
that our faith must still be in Snail-
MAN and GRANT till the rebel ar
mies` are defeated, and then in the
general good sense of the whole peo
ple, and the generosity and justice of the
Government. Mr. JEWE,TT'S suggestions
are temperately made, but we do not sup
pose they will obtain the serious conside
ration of the Government. Its policy has
been decreed by the people. But his letter
is especially valuable as it is a new revela
tion of the spirit of the rebel leaders, and
the folly of -negotiating with them on the
very, eve of victory. ,
Receipt Stamps.
Some discussion has arisen, in this city,
as to the person who should pay for the
stamps upon receipts. The law is that
when a receipt is given for money pay
rtients over $2O it-shall be stamped, and
a penalty is leviable; and actually has
been levied, for the omission to per
fect the receipt by putting a stamp upon
it. 4' contemporary says : " Policy and
fair dealing demand that the persdn
who is to be benefitted by the receipt,
and that is the individual who pays
.the
money, should bear the expenSe of the
stamp." The first of the two propositions
here is undeniable—that the person who is
benefitted by the receipt should pay for the
stamp ; the second,' declaring that he who,
pays the money is more benefitted than he
who receives.it, clearly is erroneous. Sup
pose, for example, that a man wants to pur
chase fifty dollars' worth of dry goods, and
that he goes into a street where there is a
cluster of stores, from any of which he
can be supplied. The vendor with whom
he spends his money naturally is obliged
and benefitted by the preference given him
by the purchaser, and therefore shoUld bear
the 'small expense of the receipt stamp
which is to complete the transaction. In
,England, whence we have copied this stamp
system, the recipient of the money invaria
bly supplies, the stamped receipt: We may
add that this same principle was affirmed
at the meeting, of the Philadelphia Board
of Trade on Monday, at which Mr.Sou l / 4
mu, on the part, of the Committee of the
Month, made a report on the subject of arL
equitable adjustment 'of the expense of
stamping railroad freight and other re
ceipts, which committee takes " the ground
that whatever may be the requirements of
the common law, bOth commercial usage
and right . demand that whoever receives
value of any kind from another is bound
to furnish the grantor a, perfect legal
voucher and evidence of such delivery by
him, and that as the shipper of merchan
dise hai an equitable right to demand such
voucher from the carrier, the latter is
:bound to furnish the same with the stamps
attached necessary to give it validity under
the law at his own expense," and that, con
sequently, receipts for freight•money should .
be stainped at the expens'e of the party.to
whom payment is made ; that 'receipts
given at railroad stations on delivery of
freight for transportation should be stamp-.
ed by the railroad company ; that through
receipts given by transportation companies
or lines should be stamped at the expense
of the shipper ; that receipts given by con
signees to railroad companies on the deli
very of merchandise be stamped by the
consignees,; that receipts given at the
ship's side, • called mate's receipts, •be
stamped at the expense of the ship ; ihat
bills of lading be stamped at the `expense
of the shipper.
In future, therefore, afte'r this crecision
by the Board of Trade, it will be scarcely
claimed that .persons paying .money shall
be at the expense of the stamp on the
receipt. • s'l*
Monetary Matters In Europe.
The commercial crisis in England seems
to be subsiding. On the 10th inst., the
Bank of England reduced its rate, of dis
count from nine to eight per cent., money
was more abundant, no considerable fail
ures had been reported, and the price
of consols had risen and was still ad-
Vancing ; on the 15th October, it had been
87k (for every £lOO of stock), and on the
9lh November it stood at 91k. There is
no doubt, however, that there has been a
stormy time in English commercial and
monetary business. Four joint-stock banks
had. failed, and a large number of very
great business houses in London and Lan
cashire had become bankrupt,--Isome of
them for _unusually large amounts. One of
themost important banksin Paris bad sus
pended payment, the liabilities being re
portedeat from $2,500,000 to 43,0 . 00,000—an
immense amount for Paris. Itis most proba
ble that many smAller houses will-be se
riously,' if - not fag*, affected by this
failure.
AGAIN we hear' of Sinnmex, and how
far into the bowels of the land he has
marched is shown by the fact that the re
bel papers give us the only information of
his movements, and that for more than
two weeks he has been cut off - from
communication with the Government.
Unopposed he has reached Macon, and
by this time should have taken it: We
shall soon read of his advance on Augusta
in. the Rielanond journals. SHERMAN is
truly stowing, as . GRANT said he would,
that the rebellion is a hollow shell. We
have not the slightest fears for his safety,
and hope great results from his success.

.HOIMIIILIC ADVSNTURES OF A GILIVESAL
Jenkins, who has long pined for some being of re
putation, heavily great, upon whom to exhaust his
detective capacities, enjoyed a treat on Saturday,
Sunday, and a portion of Monday, which Is Wm
quently vouchsafed to him. Men and women of
minor greatness, who "say things" which are gene
rally considered good, or have .committed some act
of literature, or addressed the Mllords In a friendly
manner upon the American question—Of these we
have our daily fill. But of genuine great men,
whose toilettes, the measurements of whose panta
loons, the make of whose boots, the breadth of
whose brow, and whose "few words" are absolutely
*matters of intense public interest, how feW
On these specified days.. and nights Gen. Grant
was present in the city, and Jenkins knew it. He
participated in the Saturday evening reception to
Governor Fenton, at the Astor House. He dined
successfully on Sunday at the house of Col. Ilillyer,
and made a masterly reconnoissance of Gon. Scott.
By request; however, Jenkins and the entire press
refrained from mentioning his presence until yester
day morning, when the newspapers, with a common
accord, freckled out in large type, announcing the
past event, and summing up the horrible common
place of the Lieutenant General's adventures.
Unfortunately for the Interests of humanity, the
nature of the private business which brought him
here has not yet been ascertained. He was pumped
and wheedled to no effect. Those who were aware
Of his presence tracked and waylaid him ; watched
his in-goings and out-comings. Ogled, analyzed,
speculated upon, apostrophized, he found himself
about as badly off as was Lot In Sodom.
.11 is reliably ascertained that he got into a Fourth
avenue car, gave his seat to a lady who entered, and
paid the advanced fare without objecting on the
score of the internal revenue laws. He also 'rode a.
little in a hack, which somebody else paid for. The
driver was overjoyed, and it is surmised got pain
fully intoxicated afterwards, for it Is said :
"After depositing his precious freight, the jolly
driver gave his friends the following toast : Here's
to 'nestle, Dennis Connelly, the biggest man in
Ameriky but one. I've driven the Lieutenant
General of the United States, and it's more than
Bobby Leo over did.'" -
On Monday morning, the Lieutenant General
breakfasted determinedly with Colonel Hiliyor,
fighting it out on that line for a period which Join.
kits could not ascertain.
Altogether, alter these horrible adventures with
Jenkins, the great commander should congratulate
himself on having escaped. Jenkins is so prevalent
in this city, his clutch is so retentive, his notice so
much of a surveillance, that only good fortune and
Masterly activity saved the intended victim from a
Violent Introspection. He left the city yesterday
afternoon. •
GOVIII3NOR CURTIN AT THE PRODIICE EXCHANGE.
After the Produce Exchange had closed this af.
ternoon, and. the ;members were preparing to a&
parate, Andrew G. Curtin; Governor of Pennsyl
vania, was announced. An organization was ins-
Mediately made by the election of Mr.
president, who announced the presence of the dis
tinguished guest. Captain French then introduced
him in a neat and complimentary speech, to which
the Governor replied briefly. He acknowledged
the courtesy which had been paid him. He re
marked that the great States of. New York and
Pennsyliania are united in interest, and share one
common destiny. The citizens of New York and
the citizens of Philadelphia are bound together by
commercial and business relations, and by ties of
a common sympathy. The mighty river of the
State of Pennsylvania took its rise in New York
and emptied into the Chesapeake in Maryland,
binding three great Commonwealths by one com
mon tie.. He desired the bonds of this Union to be
perpetual,. and that a common interest should
cement the alliance, so that it could not be dis
solved. They had met here to-day as friends. The
multitude before him was composed of reprisenta;
tive men, and he felt at home when, as theirepre;-
sentative of a great State, he spoke with them. He
would now, thanking them for the cordiality of this
unexpected reception, take his leave of them.
General Hiram Walbridge then proposed a series
of patriotic resolutions, which were adopted, and
the meeting adjourned.

The compliment was worthily bestowed.
It Is thought that Mr. Tames Brooks' (data of
'Congressional election will be suceessfully disputed
by Mr. W. E. Dodge, the Union candidate. It is
contended that fraudulent votes gave the result on
which the friends of Mr. Brooks assort his election
over his competitors, and that these votes should be
ignored.

the harbor, and was fired upon by our vessels,which
she returned with spirit, the engagement lasting
for several hours without any of the shots from our

THE CAMPAIGN IN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY.
ST. Loins, Nov. 21.—A Paducah despatch of yes
terday says that military affairs in that district are
active. The whole - country is being scouted, and
parties are daily bringing in prisoners. General A.
3. Smith means something, but what it is is not
proper to say. Four days will develop the
plan of the contemplated. campaign. Both the
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers are in fine
boating order, and will prove a valuable auxiliary
.to the military operations. The gunboats Persia
and Paw-Paw returned on Sunday from a reconnois
sance up the Tennessee river. The bodies of En
sign Howe, of the gunboat Undlne, and of Captain
Allen, of the transport Venus, killed when those
vessels were captured by FOrrest, two weeks sines,
have been recovered at Paris. The gunboats found
the river lined with rebel pickets from Pine Bluff to
Johnsonville. The rebel G-on. Lyon commands that
district, and has been ordered to watch the river
closely, and to blockade it as soon as the transports
begin running again. Forrest has a position across

The Terrible Cyclone at Calcutta.
NEARLY TWO HUNDRED VESSELS DAMAGED AND
MORE TRAN.TWO 'HUNDRED LIVES LOST—FULL
I'ARTICDLARS-80ENES AND MOMENTS OF THE
amain BLit ( TORNADO. .
The English papers received by the Moravian's
mails today bring full accounts of the terrible cy
clone at Calcutta, previously reported briefly by
telegraph.
- This cyclone was unequalled within the experi
ence of persons who have resided In India for forty
years. It burst over Calcutta, on the Sthof October,
and desolated a tract of country one hundred and
twenty-five miles long. Out of more than two hun
dred vessels in the Hooghly river, only eight
.or nine escaped serious damage, and a great
many lives were lost. It appears that during
the whole night of Tuesday, October 4, the weather
sit Calcutta was marked by a succession of squalls
and heavy- rain from the nortlenortheasti and It
Maintained the same character till about half past
ten on Wednesday morning, gradually lecressing
in violence. The wit d then veered to the east, and
began to blow more steadily and with increasing
fury. The weaker trees were uprooted or br
short, but for the fi rst Mir or so no greater da
was done. Between 11 and 12 o'clock a noise 11 a
.that of distant thunder gave warning, as grads
. ally increased, that something tsP OM was coming. In
about two minutes from Ws time the true cyclone
'was upon the town. Wherever there were trees they
' were either uprooted and fell, carrying with them, in
many cases, walls, railings, and buildings, or their
branches were Sniped off like reeds and hurled
away 'with the wind. Carriages' and palkees were
upset, and strewed the roads, mingled with the
debris of roofs, verandahs, gates ' and fallen . trees ;
corrugated iron roofings were torn, doubled up,
and blown away like sheets of paper. By two
o'clock the eastern and southern suburbs of
the city, and those parts of it to the westward
which from their proximity to the maiden, and
the river were' the moat exposed,. wore more or
less a wreck. Excepting cocoanut and other
palms, scarcely. a tree was anywhere to be' found
standing. The beautiful avenues in Fort William
were entirely destroyed ; the Eden gardens turned
into a wilderness. In Tank Square the trees and
shrubs were blown away, and in many parts the,
.iron railings torn up and overthrown. In .Garden
Beach the roads were blocked up and rendered im.
passable from the trees that fell across them. The
splendid avenue of usoth trees in the compound of
the - school opposite St. James' Church, some of
which must have been four or five .feet in Wreath - -
ference, was entirely destroyed, the trees being
snapped off above the level of the wall which pro
tected them, but'which is now no longer standing.
The Beene presented by the shipping (says the
CalCutta Eigdislonali of the loth) is indescribable.
There must be at least one hunsired ships ashore,
all bud died together in tangled masses in inextricable
confuelon. Yards and masts are hanging about in
every Conceivable form of wreck, and the scene is
one of the utmost desolation and ruin. The loss of
boats of every description Is also enormous; probe,-
bly nine out of ton wore capsized and sunk by the
Storm-wave which followed the change of the wind
' from east to south, and many of the remainder have
been cast .up on shore. The utmost - difficulty is
from this cause experienced in communicating with.
.the shipping.
The Lady Franklin, one of* the wrecked vessels,
is supposed to have foundered with all her crew on
board, and the Govindpore, o ff the Banashill, also
went down. There were nine men on board the lat.
ter vessel, including the captain, and, were It not
for the singular gallantry and courage displayed by
a seaman named Edward Cleary, they probably
might have all met with a watery grave. Mr. J.
B. Roberts was at the ghat with some of the malice,
endeavoring to pass on a rope to the ship. which was
tear the middle of the stream, but could not gat a
single man among the large number that wore
there to venture out into the river, though he offer=
ed a reward of one hundred rupees to any one
who would do so. To swim out, to the ship in such a
gale was next to hopeless. 'Despite the danger,
Cleary, who had just then come up, and without
even knowing anything about a reward having been
offered, volunteered to swim over to the ship with
the cable. He tied the rope round his waist, dashed
into the water, like a true Briton, and succeeded in
reaching the ship and fastening one"of the ends to
her bow, and returned, amid tremendous cheering,
ashore. The nine men safely came ashore by means.
of the rope, the captain being the last man who left
her. Cleary has had his hundred rupees. and will,
no doubt, get many more for his exemplary con
duct. •
.It is worthy of remark that, though the cyclone
took six hours to travel from Kedgeree to Calcutta,
its arrival at Calcutta and Bardwan was, as far as
can be judged from the information received, simul
taneous, or nearly so. It is evident from this that a
line from Kedgeree to Calcutta was coincident, or
nearly coincident, with the line of progress of the
storm, while a line between Calcutta and Bardwan
was at right angles, or nearly at right angles, to it
and the cyclone was travelling in a northeasterli
direction. This isconfirmed by the account receive
from Kooshtla. From the direction of the wind at
Source, it appears that that 'place must have been
traversed by the extreme north West edge of the
cyclone. -
Another Calcutta paper says: Among the se
verest losseS occasioned by the gale on shore is the
total destruction of the Botanical Gardens. All the
valuable collection of plants and trees, gathered
from the four corners of the earth, and preserved
with - so much care and attention ; all the fruit
drees and rare species so lately prepared for dis
tribution'
are ruthlessly destroyed. 'Phis is a loss
to every station in . India, to every botanist, to
every lover of nature—a loss that a long course
of years can alone repair. The famous garden
of Mr. Stalkartt, one of our most successful
horticulturiets, with all the triumphs it con
tained, is among the things of the past, to,be re
gretted, but not to be restored. Whilst blowing
froni the east, and therefore across the stream, the
WitVell Wei° kept down by the wind, and the commo•
tion of the water was not groat; but when the wind
r et due south its violence was greatly aggravated by
the billowy state into which the river was lashed, to
which the destruction of much of the smaller craft,
and indeed of human life, was owing. A cargo boat
at Calcutta went down not thirty yards from shore,
and out of it emerged five beads,; all were swimmers,
but the smothering effect of the spray was so great
that only three succeeded in reaching the shore.
The ship Lady Franklin presented a most pitia
ble- and heartrending sight. The cyclone was at
its height at the 'time, and she was fast going
down. The men on board had no chance of escape,
even to such of them as were able to swim, as the
state of the river was something frightful. They
took off their shirts and held them up as signals of
danger, but there was not a soul on shore who had
the slightest' means of affording them any assist
ance, and the vessel soon after went down, not even
her masts being visible above water. Equally dis
tressing scenes were to be witnessed on board other
ships, and what rendered the case doubly worse was
the helplessness of those on shore to do anything
towards relieving them from the danger which
threatened destruction every moment.

PrIBOn lire in the south.
An escaped Union prisoner who wasp captured in
the summer of Ma, while scenting in the service of
General Burnside, has furnished, a New York pa
per with a long account of his experience. Re
was the inmate of three prisons—the Pemberton at
Richmond, the Danville, aid the infamous Ander
sonvillo First incarcerated in the Pemberton, he
found there the usual cause of suffering operative,
a great want of proper food. Ile knew men fall
down and die before his eyes of starvation. Some
of the men Would catch dogs and kilt and eat
them In an almost raw condition, as there were no
means of cooking Meth. In the Danville prison
another element of suffering was introduced is the
crowded state of the prison. They suffered also
from cold, and it was not until Christmas tart
elothingarrived from the. North to comfort them.
The food furnished was of an inferior quality, sup
posed to be made of mouldy flour mixed with the
crushed seeds of the sorghum. Of the result of
eating this be says:
"It caused the men to have the diabetes, and they
suffered terribly from this in their .crowded condi
tion, being unable to leave their place of contine-
Leant except occasionally, and a few at a time. The
small-pox, too, broke out amongst the men, and they
were so ill•attended to that there were oases in
whieb men passed through the small-pox, either
dying or getting well, without being taken at all to
the hospital. The hospital treatment in atriville.
however, was very good in comparison with that at
other Confederate stations. At Danville all the
prisoners were searched, and everything about
them, as weapons. watches, knives, or trinkets, was
taken away.from them. They were placed In four
ranks, standing, and all wore searches in that posi
tion. They numbered about forty:five hundred, and
it took nearly Way hours to go through the whole
number."
Na, with all his fellows, was removed to Ander.
eonville; where'll° was placed in the stockade which
has already been described. Ho corroborates pre
vious statements relative to the putrid swamp, the
" dead line," the disease of the camp, and the dis
gusting quality of the food. To cook this wood was
required, and the men strove to get it by geerreliing
with each other as to whoshould go out with corpses
to the dead-house. Only one team hauled wood for
the whole stockade, and the only way the prisoners
could get extra wood was to take in some on their
return from this dead-house. The %prisoners made
many efforts to escape, by tunnelling, Sm., but they
all failed. generally by treachery among them.
selves. To guard against contingencies, shortly
alter the capture of Atlanta all the well pri
soners were removed very hurriedly to Milan,
" Florida, and Florence, South Carolina. There were
five or six thousand men in the hospitals, and sink,
who were not removed. The narrator was * among'
that number. The hospital was of tents, surrounded
by aboard fence. The doctors in the hospitals tried
to do the best they could by the patients under their
care, but the great difficulty was the want of proper
food. The tare was a little rye soup in the mornins,
a small piece of beef—about two ounces Per day
with plenty of corn bread. Vegetables were some
times brought in as contributions by the people,
round about, but, of course, made but very scanty
quantity for so many. No persons visited them but
the Catholic priests, and those were allowed to
come only for religious purposes.
The scout, with four others, made his escape from
the hospital by bribing a guard with an overcoat
end a pair of boots to let them got over the board
fence. At one- side of the hospital there was a,
swamp almost impassable, and lot the purpose of
'eluding the bloodhounds .they first took to this
swamp, wading sometimes almost thigh deep in
wind and water, and tearing through dense thick
ets. When they got out of this swamp they took a
stutherly course, guiding their way by the moon
and stars: Moat escaping mon travelled to the
North to. reach Sherman, and they believed
they would be safer by taking a different course.
They travelled in the night time wholly, and as far as
possible through woods and unfrequented country,
and hid by day in, thickets. They had taken the
precaution to bring . som e 'provisions with them, and
they got some corn and sweet potatoes on the route.
'They travelled for about three"days,until *they
came to the railroad west of Fort Smith, and
followed that down nearly to Albany. They than
got on to a sort of an island in a swamp by mistake,
and revealed themselves for the first time. They
chose for their confidante negro, a teamster, about
40 years old, owned by a wealthy planter, rather
more intelligent than _ordinary, and who used to
drive in a wagon a hundred miles often for salt and
provisions. This negro furnished them with prod-
Mons, and concealing them In his wagon, gave them a
ride of about sixty or sixty.five miles, taking them
safely in daylight through the towns and across the
river Flint, in a, ferry.flat. He did this, saying, at
the same - time, that if he was discovered doing' it, he
would be burned alive. They then made their way
through the woods the same as before, till they came
to a a large plantation, where they revealed them
selves to an old negro slave, who took them to a,
Union roan in the place by night. This man gave
them the names of other Union men along the
route they wished to travel. After that they found
not much difficulty in pursuing their journey, and
when they arrived at the coast, a Union man
lurniehed. them with a boat to go off to the
blockaders. They went on board the blockading.
schooner Oliver H. Lee, carrying a mortar. It so
happened that this ship was . going immediately to
Key West to take on a. differentarmament, and they
were thus taken to Key West, from which place
they were furnished transportation to New York.
They.were four weeks in the swamps of Florida., es
caping teethe coast. They had no other clothes but
their United States uniform, and II they had been
seen would have been recognised. In the passage
through the country they found it teeming with

that a sermon appropriate to the times will be
preached by the Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, at his church,
Twelfth street, above Race,- at 11 o'clock this A. M.
The Circus.
While the theatres change, and, with their sensa ,
Urinal dramas and scenic effects, have overturned
the old regimi: of the legitimate : the clreus"remaine
unaltered. It is precisely what It was in our boy
hood. A few now feats have been introduced, sash.
as the trapeze, but the general character Is the
smile. And it should be, for the circus needs little
improvement In its general plan. It is all we have
leftof the Olympic games of the Greeks—the leap.
tag, running, boxing, and . oharlot-racing, which
long before the Christian era brought hundreds of
thousands of people to the plains of Ells. Only in
the circus-can we see to what perfection the body of
man may be brought.. There we see strength, skill,
and grace, in their best modern development, and
get an idea of what is possible to effect with bone
and muscle.
The very fine circus of which Mrs. Warner is the
manager is a source of real enjoyment to those who
delight in manly exercise's, and who love to he the
fine rider on the well•trained horse. In a recent
visit we wore not only surprised to find the company
so complete, but that we could still be so much en
tertained with the performances, We are not tired
of the circus yet, and hope never to be.
Enter the circus. There is the old familiar smell
of sawdust; the magic ring ; the boys in the gal
lery. Out come the mustached knights on horse
back, gallantly careering to swift music in endless,
interwoven, dazzling circles. Who would think
that they are the same gentlemen who afterwards
hold the hoops for the dating lady who—stands on
one toe on the back of the fierce niazeppa ? Then
comes the clown, tripping up the ringmaster as
they enter, and making the same old jokes we heard
years ego. There is something touching in this
affection for ancient fun. The last clown we saw
told the story about his horse, named "Graphy,"
which 'was Biography when he bought it, Geo-
graphy when he made it go, and Topography
when be mounted it. It is still a fine joke; we
thought it a great ono when we first hoard it In our
wondering boyhood. Indeed; the whole performance
brought back to us the old days when the °irons was
failend. lint we did not see then such riding as
that of Eaton Stone. When this man springs upon
his horse; he almost realizes the idea of the Cen
taur.' The mans as a part of the steed. Nothing
in the way of molten can be more beautiful (arid
the beauty of motion is almost the highest beauty)
than his reckless, wild, and perfectly graceful
riding. Boind and round the ring flash man
and horse ; swaying' from side to side, the
music speeding quick, and quicker, with one
foot on the horse and one in the air, with
outstretched arms, and figure almost at horizontal
inclination, Eaton Stone whirls round and round,
till one is almost dazzled with the danger and the
charm. Yet the statue on its pedestal is not more
firm. Nor is the riding of the ladies scarcely less
beautiful. Wo have never outworn the strangeness
of an angel in white haute, pirouetting on horse
back, and jumping gracefully orer ribbons. It is
always charming and amusing. But those who ad
mire the ordinary equestrian exercise may find its
graces and skill fully - expressed in the magnificent
management of the noble horse " Champion" .by
Mrs. Warner. This is the ideal lady on horse
back, and it would he a sufficient pleasure sim
ply to see Mrs. Warner ride round the ring,
without the exhibition of the tricks and dances
which "Champion" has been taught to perform. As
remarkable as the riding are the strength and skill
of some of the acrobats: Three young men, the
Sherwood family, we think, do some astonishing
things, which make us cease to wonder at the stories
of Hercules. These men are in bodily develop
ment what the philosopher is in 'development of
mind. They show us physical possibilities of
strength and agility, of which men generally
-take too little care. It is only by looking at the
wonders of the circus that you learn of what .
your own body is capable. Indeed, it is hard to ap
preciate the greatness of some of these feats, be
cause they are apparently done so easily. To jump
over seven horses seems easy when you see It done
le the ring, but we would not advise you to try it
without previously engaging a surgeon. '
Long life to the good old circus i It is better than
theatres or operas, in many ways, and deserves . to
keep its popularity. We are a people which should
encourage gymnasiums and gymnastic exercises.
We need better bodies than we baits. Not one man
in five hundred, develops his physical powers. fully.
We educate our minds, but our bodies are left in
ignorance; If the circus tends to encourage a more
intelligent and broader education, as we believe it
does, it must be admitted to have a .value Inde
pendent of the pleasant and exciting amusement it
furalehes. .

THANKSGIVING DAY.
In accordance with the proclamation of Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States, to-day will
be celebrated in a variety of ways. The churches
generally will be opened for purposes of public
worship, and in the afternoon and evening all the
places pf amusement will be thrown open to that
large °lees of people who desire to pass a part of
their thanksgiving in a rational, pleasant manlier.
A trip through the market-houses yesterday far
niehed substantial evidence that poultry of all
kinds, wild as , well as tame, was never more
abundant at such a time, nor were the prices ever
higher. Poultry yesterday changed hands very
- fast at rates ranging from 25 to 30 cents per pound.
The market-houses were .absolutely crammed with
as fine fat turkeys and chickens as we ever saw.
The hucksters with wagons came in competition
with the bone fide farmers, but, for the first time,
perhaps, in business, Snell competition did not re
duce the prices. it teemed really. that both classes
were endeavoring to outdo each other in enhano , ng
rather than lessening the rates. It made no differ - -
am Ce, towever. Many an "old gobbler," many an
"old rooster," were carried home, as the material
for a genuine gastronomical thankse lying. As a
general thing, the ineustrial classes have plenty c f
employment. and wages are high enough to allow
the thrifty of them to celebrate the day through
the medium Or good dinners.
Extra performances will be given this afternoon
at the several theatres, and the National Circe&
There will also be a parade of the Cadets of Tem
perance.
.The line will be formed, and the march
will commence at noon. The procession will pass

The receipts for 1965 are estimated at $5,138,450.04.
which will leave $5,914,507.79 to be raised by taxation.
The valuation of property, as furnished by the City
Commissioner, is $159,147,5f3. On this valuation a tax
of $3.75 on the $lOO will yield $5,968,033.60, bat a little
snore than the estimated expenses of 1365.
Notwithstanding this large and increasing debt of the
city, the loans are always taken at a premium. The
figures are certainly appalling, and demand the earnest
attention of the City Councils. This large debt has
been contracted within the past few years'aspecially
by the appropriations rendered necessary , by bounties
.to prevent drafts, and for the maintenance of the famb
lies of volunteers. Onr City Fathers have become so
accustomed to large appropriations and big debts, that,
they have become entirely reckless in their expendl_
hues, and pay little regard to. the interest of tax
payers It is to bs hoped that the new Councils will
inaugurate a reform in this particular, and 'scrutinize ,
more carefully every bill coming befoie them which
Will in the /east incease our already heavy burden.
'the stock market was dull yesterday. Government
loans were all lower; the five twenties and the I.3Sie
were 34 off: the tea-forties sold at par, and the registered
at 96; a lot of the seven-thirties were disposed of at 111,
a decline of 1. State loans were firm but inactive; the
war-loan sixes advancedlX. New city sixes advaticed

wises preferred advanced to 39. K; North Pennsylvania
to 31, the former a rise of 134 and the latter 3:1. In the
coal stocks there was more activity, and. Prices show
an improvement; Penn Mining sold at 203, and Penn
sylvania Mining at 40; Fulton Coal at 7X, and Clinton
Coal at 1%. The canoe of the sudden. advance in,the
latter is in the fact that the company hie leased 'a'reir
tion of their lands to an oil company, who have already
a fair show of oil. The Clinton. coal lands embrace
fourteen thousand acres, from which coal and timber
are largely obtained; the oil, which. has just been ills
covered, will doubtless prove an additioaal enhance
