PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.
THE 7TH OF DECEMBER APPOINTED
A STATE THANKSGIVING DAY.
PROCLAMATION
With feelings of the most profound grati
tude to Almighty God, I invite the good peo
ple of the Commonwealth to meet in their
places of public worship on Thursday, the
seventh day of December next, and raise
their hearts and voices in praise and thanks
giving to Him, not only for the manifest or
dinary blessings which, during the past year,
he has continued,to heap upon us, for abund
ant and gathered harvests, for thriving in
dustry, for general health, for domestic good
order and government, but also most express
ly and fervently for his unequalled goodness
in having so strengthened and guarded our
people during the last four years that they
have been enabled to crush to fhb earth the
late wicked rebellion—to exterminate the
system of huinan slavery, which caused it.
As we wrestled in prayer with Him in the
dark time of our trouble, when our brothers
and sons were staking life and limb for us on
a bloody field, or suffering by torture or
famine in the hells of Andersonville or the
Libby, so now, when our supplications have
been so marvellously and graciously answer
ed, let us not withhold from Hini the homage
of our thanksgiving. Let us say to. all,
" Choose, ye, this day, whom ye will serve,
but for us and our house, we will serve the
Lord." Come, then, ye people whom He
hath so helped and led; come, ye war-worn
and mutilated men whom He bath; spared to
return to your dear homes, let us throng the
gates of His temples ; let us throw ourselves
on the knees of our hearts with a wilful joy
at the foot of His throne, and render aloud
our praise and thanksgiving to Him, because
He hath made the right to prevail; because
He hath given us the victory; because He
hath cleansed our land from the stain of
human slavery, and because He hath gra
ciously shown forth in the eyes of all men
the great truth that no government is so strong
as a republic controlled under his guidance
by an educated, moral and religious people
By the Governor.
ELI SLIFER,
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 7, 1865.
THE ELECTIONS.
On Tuesday, November 7th, New York
elected a Republican Secretary of State, by
28000 majority, 27 Republican State Sena
tors out of 32, and 94 Republican Assembly
men, in 128. 'NEw JERSEY elected a Repub
lican Governor by 3000 majority, and return
ed a State Senate with a Republican majority
of one, and an Assembly with a Republican
majority of sixteen, thus securing fhe adop
tion of the Constitutional Amendment.
Wisconsin and Minnesota elected Republican
Governors, and it is believed gave the right
of suffrage to colored persons. Massachu
setts, of course, elected a Republican Gover
nor, Bullock, by an enormous majority, and
left scarcely a ghost of a representation to
the other party in, the State Legislature. In
Illinois, the county elections held the same
day, went increasingly for the Republicans.
In Maryland, a Congressional vacancy was
filled; and State and County officers elected
nearly all of the same type. And in Nevada,
a Republican delegate was elected by 1000
majority. A unanimity most extraordinary,
and nothing less than providential.
THE END OF WIRZ.
After the protracted trial and the delay to
announce the verdict, the doom of this mis
erable jailor, this willing tool of the cruel rage
of rebellion, came suddenly, almost as a flash
of lightning. Thepurpose of the Executive
was announced on Tuesday of last week, and
Wirz was hung on Friday, November 10th.
ile died protesting his innocence, except as
.he was the agent of others, and reviling the
national flag.
THE CITY
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD EXTENSION.—
The extension of the track of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad from the Philadelphia Gas
Works to a point on the Delaware, near the
Old Point House, is nearly completed. The
wharves and docks at this point to facilitate
the shipment of coal oil are also being pushed
forward with vigil.. There is plenty of room
along this portion of the Delaware front to
ship all the coal oil that can be brought over
the road.
THE assessment for 1866 shows 115,154
taxables, with real estate assessed at $159,-
590,142 ; furniture, $2,483,645 ; horses and

THE STATES.
SOUTH CAROLINA—Columbia, Nov. 13.
The constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery was passed in both Houses of the
South Carolina Legislature to-day. It met
with but little opposition.
GEORGIA. — the State Convention repudi
ated the Confederate State debt November
7th, by a vote of 133 to 116.—Alexander
H. Stephens declines to be a candidate for
any office in Georgia. •
MISSISSIPPI. The rebel ex-Governor
Clark in a recent address to the new Legisla
tnre of the State, spoke thus of the national
ensign :—" With all of you I marched under
th flag in a f'oreign land, and it was victori
ous; with all of you I marched against it,
and it was victorious ; it again waves over us,
is our flag, and may it ever be victorious."
LOUISIANA. - Gover nor Welles was re
elected Governor of Louisiana. Negroes
voted at several places in New Orleans. The
Democrats have carried the State. L. S.
Martin, Jacob Barker, and E. C. Wickliffe
are elected to Congress.—The Freedmen's
bureau has fallen into the hands of reaction
aries in this State.
lIISCELLANEOIIS
THE CHOLERA.—The steamer Europe, in
New York, has been thoroughly fumigated,
and the passengers released from quarantine.
No new cholera cases have appeared on the
Atalanta.
THERE has been an increase in the expor
tation of petroleum from Philadelphia during
the present year, thus far, of nearly a million
and a halt of gallons; but a deerease of eight
millions and a quarter from New York.
INTEMPERANCE.—One of the incidents of
election morning in New York City was a
murder. The correspondent of the Public
Ledger says: If the voting places were kept
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 16, 1865.
•
a little farther away from the rum mills, oc
currences like this would probably be less
frequent. In New York, however, the rum
bottle is seemingly an indispensable adjunct
to an election. THERE are 1100 taverns in
Washington, one for every ninety-one inhabi
tants.
COTTON IN TEXAS.—Every station on the
Central and Washington County Railroads is
crowded with cotton bales, and the railroads
cannot ship it off as fast as it comes tor the
want of sufficient rolling stock.
THE mystery about the box explosion in
the Wyoming Hotel, New York, has been
solved. The box contained the newly discov
ered explosive compound of Mr. Nobel, of
Germany, composed of nitric acid and glyce
rine, and having thirteen times the explosive
power of gunpowder.
THE CROPS, exclusive of those on the
Pacific coast:—
1863. 1864. 1865.
Wheat, (bush.) 179,404,036 160,695,823 148,522,829

FREEDMEN IN AND AROUND.WASHINGTON.
—The total number of Freedmen under
charge of Gen. Eaton is 33,070, of which
number 2,445 were under medical treatment
during the month of October. Eighty-two
died, 1,585 were discharged as 'cured,.and on
the 31st of October, 778 remained under
treatment. During the past month there
were issued 350 rations per day to these
Freedmed. This is a statement that speaks
well for the humanity and good management
of Major Eaton, as well as for the character
of the freed people.
INDIANA ON PARDONING TRAITORS. —The
Indianapolis Journal says :
" Hit be true that Mr. Greeley, Beecher,
and other prominent Republicans, are urging
that this thing be done, and claim to speak
the voice of the Union party in doing so, we
can assure them that they know little of the
feeling of that party in Indiana, if they, im
agine it is in favor of the pardon of Davis.
We will not assume that they have done so,
for the report may be the offspring of Wash
ington gossip ; but if they have, theY have
employed themselves in a shabby business.
If the President is beset with such advocates
for pardon to the murderers of imprisoned
Union soldiers, it is time that men of influence
in Indiana, and who truly represent the sen
timents of her loyal citizens and soldiers,
should protest against such an abuse of exe
cutive clemency, and let the President know
that we have not all turned rebel worship
pers."
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
GOLD NOTES. —The $4OOO and $5OOO gold
certificates are in circulation at New York.
The $2O notes are in press. They are elabo
rately engraved; with the fac-simile, a double
eagle, on their backs. Part of this issue will
be printed upon buff colored paper. , These
notes will not be re-issued 'when once sent
back to the Treasury, but new notes will be
issued in their place, as is the custom with
the Bank of England. •
THE average cost of collecting the National
Revenue for the year ending June 30th last,
is stated to be a little less than four per cent.
In 1864 the cost was six and one-thirteenth
per cent. The expenses of collecting similar
taxes in England in 1863 was three and six
tenths per cent.
THE Western Bank of this city has made
the almost unequalled dividend of one hun
dred per cent. over and above its reserve
fund, and this, too,
after having paid ten per
cent. in May last; being 110 per cent in one
year. It is proper to observe that a portion
of these profits arise from the premium reali
zed on the sale of its specie. It still holds,
however,'a specie reserve of over one-fourth
of its capital, and $665,600 in legal tender
notes. The Bank of Northern Liberties after
dividing 15 per cent. carried 20 per cent. in
crease to the salaries of all the officers and
clerks.
In October, the receipts fwm customs
were $17,000,000.
FOREIGN.
40EIT.—The correspondence of the Pall
Mall Gazette states that the Count de Sarti
ges had informed the Pope`that the evacua
tion by the French troops would commence
on the Ist of November.
THERE are still new cases of cholera, at
last accounts in Southampton.
AN international Congress is to be held for
the purpose of studying the means of repress
ing the cholera. England; Turkey, Austria,
Prussia, Spain, Portugal, Rome, Saxony,
'Bavaria, Hanover, Wurtemburg, the Hanse
atic Towns, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium,
Holland, Greece and Baden will take part in it.
THE Independence Beige announces that
the French intend to leave Mexico.
THE ' CHOLERA IN 1849.—The N. Y Tinfes
speaking of this visitation in 1849 says :
"Certain towns in England were almost
shielded from this dreaded enemy by prepar
ing their sanitary defences in time. Worces
ter, on the Severn, almost entirely escaped
it. In this country it is recorded that in
Philadelphia the most active measures were
taken to guard the public health in the epi
demic of 1849: 2970 privies were cleansed ;
340 houses cleaned by the authorities; ISB
ponds drained ; 66 rag and bone shops closed,
and in all, over 6000 distinct sources of dis
ease removed. The consequence was that
the number of deaths in that city was only
747, while in New York they amounted to
.5071 In Boston, good health arrangements
kept the pestilence in the lowest and dirtiest
streets, and reduced the deaths to some 633.
JAMAICA. —A rebellion has broken out in
this Island which seems to be an uprising of
the blacks against the British authority, ori
ginating in the attempt of the latter to collect,
by force of arms, the arrears of taxes. The
insurgents have been utterly merciless, killing
the whites without scruple, and the British
government naturally enough is dealing sum
marily with the captives.
WAIL has been declared by Chili against
Spain. The latter power is attempting to
blockade all the coast of Chili with four
vessels, a course against Which• the foreign
Consuls have protested.
LATE ITEMS.—EarI Russell, whose policy
is one of hostility to American claims, is at
the head of the British Cabinet.—Spain
will take energetic measures to suppress the
slave-trade. —Uruguay with 6000 prisoners
has been captured by Brazil.—lt is again
said that France will cease military interfer
ence in Mexico.
ITEMS.
It is believed that three-fourths of the ter
ritory of South Carolina is now lying uncul
tivated.—lt is said that 200 emigrants, re
cently arrived ,by the Erin, at New York,
have been hired to go South to work on rail
roads. Their expenses thither are to be cle
frayed, and wages given them at the rate of.
$lO per week.—General Butler intends
hereafter to reside in Washington.—At the
time of Lee's surrender he had 28,000 men in
his army. Johnston had 37,000 men.—
Eighty-five per cent. of the officers of the
veteran Reserve Corps have been wounded
in battle, some of them as often as seven
times.—Hon. Jacob Collamer, Senator
from Vermont, died November 9.—William
Johnson, only brother of the President, died
October 14th, in Texas, from accidental
shooting. —At least one hundred vessels
have been lost in a recent terrible storm in
the Gulf of Mexico and along the coast of
Florida and the Carolinas.—dt, is now said
that the - United States army contains 180,000
men.—Daniel Pratt, of Prattville, Alabama,
the celebrated maker of cotton gins, has re
commenced their manufacture. Since 1833
he has made over 17,000 cotton gins.—
Wm. E. Dodge, Republican, of New York,
announces that he will contest the seat in
Congress of James Brooks, Democrat.—
During the war 76,000 persons served in the
navy. Of these, 1406 were killed, and 1638
wounded. The naval expenditure was $230,-
000,000.—General Kilpatrick' IT beereap
pointed Minister to Chili.—During the war,
2,000,000 bales of cotton and 50,000 boxes of
tobacco ran the blockade from the South.
WHILST the most specious part of an un
godly man's character is held forth to view,
and his crimes and corrupt motives are
studiously concealed, and whilst the infirm
ities of a pious man- are noticed and his
good works and holy dispositions veiled
with the mantle of humility, the real dif
ference may be but feebly discerned; but,
when the whole shall be known, all the
world will see the one to be meet for
heaven, and the other justly deserving of
is awful doom.—Scott . on Matthew.

FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF SAFES.
BURNING OF THE MUSEUM.
LETTER FROM MR. BA.R.NITM.
NEW YORE, July 11, 1856.
•
MESSRS. HERRING & Co.—Gentlemen :—Though the
destruction of the American Museum has proved a
serious loss to myself and the public, I am happy to
verify the old adage that It's an ill wind that blows
nobody any good," and consequently congratulate
9011 that your well-known SAFES have again demon
strated their superior fire-proof qualities in an ordeal
of unusual severity. The Safe you made for me some
time ago was in the office of the Museum. on the
second floor, back part of the building, and in the
hottest of the fire. After twenty four hours of trial
it was f oun d among the debris, and on opening it this
day has yielded up its contents in very good order.
Books, papers, policies of insurance, bank bills are
all in condition for immediate use, and a noble com
mentary on the trustworthiness of HERRING'S FIRE
PROOF SAFES. Yruly yours,
P. T. BARNUM.

17. ANOTHER TEST
OF
HERRING'S FIRE-PROOF SAFES.
The Fiery Ordeal Passed Triumphantly.
The Herring Safe used in the office of our ware
houses, destroyed by the disastrous fire on the night
of the Bth instant, was subjected to as intense heat as
probably any safe will ever be subjected in any fire—
so intense that the brass knobs and the mountings of
the exterior of same were melted off, and the whole
surface scaled and blistered as if it had been in a fur
nace, and yet when opened, the contents—books and
papers—were found to be entire and uninjured.
This Safe is now on exhibition in our warehouse on
Seventh Street, with the books and papers still re
maining in it. just as it was when taken from the
ruins. Merchants, Bankers, and others interested in
the protection of their books and papers are invited
to call and examine it.

Life Insurance Companies pay no part of theprin
cipal sum until the death of the aSsured. The TRA
VELLERS' pay the loss or damage sustained by per
sonal injury whenever it occurs.
Th e feeling of security which such an insurance
gives to those dependent upon their own labor for
support is worth more than money. No better or
more satisfactory use can be made of so small a sum.
