` r atio d ttf r Wilk. THE EXECUTIVE. The President has issued a proclamation for thanksgiving on the 29th of November. Doubtless the chief cause of thanksgiving at that time will be his own popular defeat at the intervening elections. General Dix is going out as Minister to France. Secretary Seward has had a return of his illness, and his son, Mr. Frederick W. Sew ard, has been appointed Secretary of State pro tempare. - THE REPORT ON THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE After a very suspicious delay, such as has attended every official revelation in regard to this atrocious outbreak of rebel hatred, the Report of the Military Commission to inves tigate the riot of July 30th has been made public. This result is due to the indefatiga ble labors of the N. X. Tribune agency in New Orleans. From that paper we learn that the report is signed by Gens. Mower, Quincey, Gregg and aldey. It gives a full synopsis of the evidence, comprising the de spatches of Gen. Sheridan. The commission gives the opinion that there was a preconcerted plan among the rebel associations for the purpose of attacking the convention it there was any plausible pre text, and but for the declaration of martial law and the presence of the troops, fire and bloodshed .would have raged throughout the night in all the negro quarters of the city, and the lives and property of Unionists and Northern men would have been at the mercy of the mob. Three-fourths of the mob were rebel soldiers. . _ The board review the conduct of Mayor Monroe, and believe his action precipitated the consequence that ensued from his own acts. The party in power in New Orleans with Mayor Monroe, the board believe, if allowed to have their own way, without pun ishment for past offences, will soon render that city a place of insecurity for Northern lives and property. ' THE STATES P ennsylvania.— Soldiers' Monument in Catasauqua. —On the 3d of the month an exceedingly handsome marble monument from the works of Henry S. Tarr, of this city, was inaugurated with due ceremonies at Catasauqua,. Lehigh county, It is the re sult of an organized effort, under the style of the &idle rs' Mofiment Association, led by Mr. Samuel Thomas of the place, from which, though quite small, 157 soldiers went into the rebellion, of whom 29 died in the service. The monument celebrates both4the living and the dead, the names of all being carved upon its faces. In the morning of the day, a procession, embracing the military of three wars, the clergy and civil authorities, firemen, lodges and associations, pupils of male and female schools and citizens, was formed and marched to the cemetery. The immense concourse was called to order by David Thomas, Re publican candidate for Congress. Rev. Jas. W. Wood, of Allentown, gave out Old Hun dred, which was sung, and prayer offered by Bishop.' Shultz, of Bethlehem. The Rev. Cornelius Earle, of the First Presbyterian Church, who throughout the war was among the most loyal of the loyal men of Catasau- lows : When, more than five years ago, our country, assailed by traitor hands, called her loyal sons to her defence, among the mighty labsts who responded to that call there went forth from our town one hundred and fifty seven noble men—all but one three years' men. They were your husbands, sons or brothers. As we bade them farewell and commended them to God, we pledged them our hearty co-operation and supportin every thing which would conduce to their welfare while in the field; that we would welcome them on their return, if they survived; that if in our power we would give them honora ble burial should they fall; that we would cherish their memory and would hand down the story of their heroism as a precious lega cy to posterity. To carry out as a patriotio and religious duty this last pledge, the Sol diers' Monument Association was formed July 4, 1865, at the suggestion and under the auspices of Samuel Thomas, and to carry out the earnest wish of a dear departed brother, David Thomas,Jr. Mr. Earlei thn went over the list of the dead, giving particulars of their fall so far as known. Eight, viz : Robert Wilson, Andrew Smiley, David Bochman, Wallace Brown, Chas. Michel, John Weiss, David. McCand less—and John Carmen, fell into rebel hands, and perished from wounds or starvation. These, continued Mr. Earle, are in unknown graves, but angels keep, watch over their dust ; and though we maynever gather them here, we may hope that a glorious resurrec tion awaits them. And inasmuch as they were -denied- Christian :burial, as a mark of respect—as a tribute due to dead heroes—l, have been requested to read the burial ser vice as a part of these services. The reverene'cl gentleman here read a ser vice for the dead, comprising, in part, many of the most beautiful passages used in the Presbyterian and Episcopalian services for such occasions. At the conclusion of this part of the ceremonies a dirge was performed by the hand, and Mr. Earle concluded as follows : By an article in the constitution of the Monument Association, all'whose heroism it is designed to honor are entitled to enrolment on the monument, and in case of death (if it be their wish) to burial among their com rades in the hallowed ground around it. We, therefore, in the presence of this throng, solemnly consecrate this spot and set it apart as the resting-place of those who died that their country might live. May their memory ever be green as the laurel and fragrant as the rose. And now, to perpetuate the memory of those from this vicinity who, with noble patriotism and heroic valor on many battle-fields, foughefor freedom and to crush rebellion, this monument has been erected by their loyal and deeply-grateful friends. We love our soldiers and cherish their deeds as our glory and our pride. We feel" that they fought and died that, in the words of the martyred Lincoln, the nation, under God, might haVe a new birth of freedom; and that the Government of the people, by the people abd for the people, might not perish from the earth. In the rancor of party strife men may deny, may forget, may seek to belittle the mighty issues involved in the tremendous conflict through which the nation has just passed, and is now passing. But these issues will more and still more loom up like great moun tains, till in ages to come the world shall see that the conflict was the mightiest, the issues involved the most momentous, and the re sults achieved and to be achieved the grand est of all time. To the glory of such deeds:'we can add no thing. But we may express our admiration and our gratitude. And that it 'may speak when we are silent, and tell its story when we are gone, we have put the , record in mar ble. At this moment Mr. Joshua Hunt loosen ed the American flag which enveloped the beautiful shaft, and, as it touched the base, Mr. Earle continued : And nowunveiled it stands before you. On the eastern side is the record of the dead, ever looking across upon the busy scenes in which they once mingled, but from which they have forever departed : " For there fell down many slain because the War was of God." On the north is the muster-roll of Company C, 46th Regiment, asit stood when they left for _ the war (forty-eight names), commanded by Colonel Knipe and Lieuten ant-Colonel Selfridge, and underneath them a list of twenty-two important battles in which they took part. They belonged to that conquering host which, under Sherman, marched from Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain and Atlanta on to the sea. Above them and their glorious record, strikingly descriptive, you - may read this verse from Holy Writ : " We have pursued the enemy and overtaken them ; neither did we turn from them till they were consumed." On the south is the muster-roll of Company F, 47th Regiment (eighty-three names), and a list of eleven engagements in which they took part—ever looking toward the land of rebellion, justly proud of the part they have borne, and speaking for a grateful country. Over them is written : " Thou has subdued under me those that rose up against me." Upon the west side are the names of those from our town who belonged to other regi ments, and the names of battles in which they won honor for themselves and glory and peace for the nation. Over them, as the anthem of praise from an emancipated and triumphant nation, are written these words: "The Lord our God was with us to help us, and to fight our battles for us ;" fdr let us, my friends, ever give God the glory, and, with Israel, say: If it had not been the Lord, who was ,on our side when men rose up against us, they had swallowed us up quickly when their wrath was kindled against us.' And let us remember that, compared with God's works, the monuments - of brass and marble reared by men are but crumbling dust. For the mountains are the monuments of His power; the blue sky is His banner, and the stars which shine by night upon its broad field are but feeble emblems of His truth and glory. And now in the name of a gateful people we dedicate this sculptured pile to the memory of those whe, in heroism, self-sacrifice and love of country rival all the past, and commit to a holy record to all the future. When our heads are under the sod may our children and our children's children gather around it and drink inspiration from its story. " Calm sleep the brave who sink to rest By country and by comrades blest. The land they loved and died to save Shall count her holiest ground their grave; And while her banner waves on high, And freedom is her battle-ern The brave and good shall oft return To twine the laurel round their urn." Major A. R. Calhoun, a loyal Kentucky officer, made an eloquent and effective ad dress, after which the Rev. Mr. Heilig ! of Catasauqua, pronounced the benediction, and the concourse retired from the cemetery. The monument is one of the most beauti ful of the kind yet erected in the State, and reflects great credit upon its sculptors. It stands on a foundation seven feet high, and six feet square, the approach to which is by a flight of terraced steps. Above the bottom base, which is six feet square and three feet high, are two moulded bases two feet six inches thick, and on the upper rests the die, four feet high and three feet eight inches square, neatly , ornamented with a cannon is the can, four feet five inches square and one loot six incnes thick, having carved upon its front a sword and scabbard. Above this is a square base containing the words, " Died for their coun try," and the circular moulded base which receives the shaft, the latter being• eleven feet and twenty-six inches in diameter. It is fluted, and over the top is a representation of our national colors falling in graceful folds around the pillar. Surmounting the whole is an American eagle, with wings extended, and in a defiant attitude, as if defending the flag of our country. The entire height of this beautiful Italian marble product of skill is twenty-six feet, and cost about five thou sand dollars. As mentioned in the remarks of Mr. Earle, upon the monument are in scribed the names of the living and dead heroes, with the names of the battles in which the fought. New York City.—lt is stated that Mr. A. T. Stewart has intimated his readiness to give $1,000,000 to build tenement houses for the deserving poor in New York, provided ground would be furnished.

Indiana.—Oil was struck - ct. 2d in. Terre Haute, at a depth of about 1300 feet, in the artesian well being sunk there by Mr.-Chaun cey Rose of that city. It flows at the rate of about forty or fifty barrels per day, with the tubing only extending ten to - twenty feet below. the surface. It' is estimated that with good tUbitigone'liunared- barrelS'‘d, day will flow. This oil is of a good quality.

TIICE CITY Since Saturday, Sept. 29, there has been a sudden and considerable increase in the number of cholera cases reported to the, BOard of Health. Down: to noon Thursday, Oct. 4, the aggregate for the five days was 159 cases. Of these 33 cases occurred be tween Saturday and Monday, 38 cases .on Monday, 34 cases on Tuesday, 54 cases on Wednesday, 51 cases on Friday and 39 on Saturday. About.one-third of the cases are fatal. Burning of the League House.—The Fire Marshal„ who has been looking up the facts in this case, says that after a most the rough investigation, over, a - hundred wit nesses being examined, he came to the con clusion that it was the work of an incendiary, aud that it was kindled in a closet in the laundry. The 'evidence did not tend to fix the crime upon any one, and the 'Fire Mar shal suggests to the League to offer a reward. FINANCIAL.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN , THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1866. 3d, by the removal of two rails, and the en gineer was killed and five other persons wounded. It is thought the intention was to kill the Southern delegates. Col. Stan sill and Bingham, of the delegation, attempt ed to address a meeting in Cairo, on Friday evening, but were prevented by a mob, and the meeting was broken up. The delegation arrived in St. Louis, Oct. Bth.

Mexico.—Llt is asserted in San Francisco that Maximilian sent an order countermand ing the evacuation of Sonora, that the French admiral, having embarked all his troops, re fused to disembark. Maximilian made a speech at the national anniversary in the city of Mexico recently, which is a marvel. He says: " I am still firm in the position which the votes of the nation have made me occu py ;" "it is not in adverse moments that a true Hapsburg abandons his post;" "the majority of the nation elected me to defend its most sacred rights ;" " the Almighty should therefore protect us," and ranch more of.likelmport.—rA letter from Paris, dated on September 18th, states that the French Emperor, alarmed at the attitude assumed by the United States on the Mexican ques tion, has ordered a large fleet of transports to rendezvous at Cherbourg to sail at once for Mexico-, and to take back all the French con tingent. The Insurrection in Candia.—lt now appears that the great battle which was fought on September 9th and 10th, between the Christians who have revolted from Turk-_ ish rule in Candia and the combined forces of the Turks and Egyptians, resulted in the disastrous defeat of the latter, several thou sand being killed and wounded.

EDWARD BEECHER, D)D., TO HIS IBROTHER HENRY WARD EECHER. The letter of the Rev. Dr: Edivard Beecher, of Galesiiurg, 111., to his brother Henry, is an affectionate and earnest re obstrance, and its manly and upright prin iples make more mournful the defection of t e pastor of Plymouth Church. We omit M . Beecher's admirable review of Johnson's olicy, and give those portions which apply o the part his brother has taken in support' g it : I have been led to the conclus n that, for some reason, which I cannot s y, one por tion of the truth of God has ga ned an un balanced ascendency over your ind, made your theories of reconstruction one-sided and false. Nothing is more dangerous than Di vine truth thus unbalanced. It seems to speak with the authority of God, but it tends to bewilder and seduce. The truths that are thus one-sided and unbalanced in your mind, as it seems to me, are the duties of forgiveness, con fidence -in evil-doers, . magnanimity, and overcoming evil with good. On these you were speaking when you denounced the policy of Thaddeus Stevens as,Satanic. You assigned no specific reason for your denuncia tion, but the implication was strong that it was because it did not agree with your ideas of magnanimity, forgiveness, and overcom:. ing evil , with good. You would, restore the rebels to power greater than that of loyal men, honor them, confide in them, royally load them-with benefits and gifts, and then work through them in their prosperity to elevate the freedmen, whom you have strip ped"- of all poWer. This, you think, is Christ like, And any policy of penalty l 'deprivation, 'and restriction toward-traitors is' Satanic. ' The policy-of forgiveness. and of overcom ing evil With good; has its - sphere. God uses that policy as our great example. But is there no plebe, in his dealing with communi- , ties, for penalty? Is'there no sphere for the exercise of wrath ? Is wrath, against the enormities of' guilty communities unchria tian ? Do we read of any higher wrath than the wrath of the Lamb against'such? Is-it not He who treads. them in the great wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Al mighty God ? -. • Of Mr. Johnson he thus speaks : The whole tendency of his policy is to re vive, inspirit and embolden those proud, re vengeful, treacherous, cruel, bloody aristo cracies of caste, the destruction of which is alike demanded by the glory of God and the welfare of this nation and of mankind. To the extent of his power he has undone in them all that had been effected by the wrath of God against their crimes, mani fested in defeat and subjugation through the arms of this great nation. They are once more emboldened in evil. Once more they plot revolt and war. Once more they pro pose the restoration and maintenance of slavery, if not in name yet really in effect. A reign of terror against all true loyalists, as well as the freedmen, has been inaugurated by these bloody aristocracies, who are now im periously demanding admission as States, with threats of vengeance on refusal. Such are the disastrous results of a false application of the doctrines of forgiveness, magnanimity and overcoming evil with good. These are the doctrines which President John son profanes in his political harangues, com paring himself with Christ, and his policy with that of the Son .of God, while he is at war with the whole course of Divine Provi dence, and with the avowed purpose of Christ to deal in wrath and vengeance till he has broken the rod of every oppressor. Its is no kindness to these aristocracies to con tinue and establish such a policy. Their highest good, as well as that of the nation, demands once more that terror fall on them, as at the close of the war, and that they be thoroughly penetrated with an utter despair of success in carrying out their unjust, des potic and bloody purposes. The conclusion of the letter is as follows: Your belief that the spirit of the Age and the results of the war are such that a retro grade movement as to liberty is impossible to any future party of Southern aristocrats and Northern Democrats, is but a tempting of FOREIGN. BY THE ATLANTIC CABLE. God and a delusion, if through your unfaith fulness and that of others, aristocracies with peculiar powers are formed and constitution ally sanctioned as a part of the nation, at war with the very first principles of liberty. In the age of the Declaration of Independence, it was said in like manner: It is an age of liberty and of progress ; all parties must be guided by these principles. And yet they organized, in fact, aristocracies, based on slavery, as a part of the nation. And what was the result? Let• the oceans of blood shed in a war for slavery, and the treasures demanded to redeem the national life from destruction, reply. Is not one such warning enough? Shall we again establish slaveholding aristocracies, and with a baseness and ingratitude unknown to our fathers, surrender to their despotism the loyal population who defended us in our conflict for existence, and yet continue to sing the syren song of hope and progress in the iievelopment of liberty? So far is it from being true that there is no danger of retrogression, that if the policy of Johnson prevails, the south will have a bal ance of power, in connection with Northern allies ; and by following his principles as to Congress up to their logical issues, will be able to invalidate all the legislation of the war, restore slavery, assume the rebel debt, and repudiate that of the nation. If all States have an indefeasible right to repre sention, at all times ; if all amendments to the Constitution should be initiated in a Congress composed of the representatives of all the States to be valid ;• if the present Congress only assumes to be a Congress, hanging on the outskirts of the Government, and all this Johnson and his partisans have taught, what surer premises are needed to lead logically to all the results which have been specified ? And are we to trust to the honor or moral integrity of those who through perjury initiated the rebellion to avert the results ? There is no safety but in a firm adherence to the'fundamental princi ples of justice and honor. If we deviate from them, God will make our sin our pun ishment. If we believe there is a God, and that as nations sow so shall they reap, if justice, honor and humanity are not mere empty names, let us not dare do it. I am your affectionate brother, EDWARD BEECD:ER.
