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. '

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.

REV. 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.

The author, Rev. George Bowen, grew up in New
York City, a skeptic, but,." by a remarkable chain of
providences," was led to Christ, and has been for eigh
teen years a missionary in India.
"He became one of the most earnest and single.
hearted Christians we have ever known. The Bible
was his book, and he searched it constantly. prayer
fully. for hidden treasures. If he had met you on
Broadway, he would stop yon amoment to tell of some
new beauty or sweetness he had discovered in the
Divine word. Such a man's meditations are as water
fresh from the fountain. They are deeply spiritual,
and adapted to quicken the faith and love of th e
reader."—Herald and Recorder, Cincinnati.

tist), says. "It is a book ()flare merit, marked by deep

dent in the Union TheologicalSerninary.

Selected and edited by Mrs. IL Dwight Williams.
12m0., 360 pp. $1 50. Tinted paper, gilt edges., $2,
This volume will be welcomed into many stricken
and sorrowing households. It is composed of judici
ous selections from the choicest literature in our
language, addressed to the desponding and desolate,
who, in times of bereavement, love to linger anion;
the " graves of their household," and dwell upon the
state of the departed. The aim of the compiler is to
induce some to make a good and wise use of aftlictire
dispensations, to see the hand of God in them all, and
to feel that "the Judge of all the earth will do right.'
To many sorrowing souls this will be a precious balm
