*to D€ tyre Veth. GENERAL Thanksgiving.—The President has issued the following Proclamation : By the President of the United States of America A PROCLAMATION In the year which is now drawing to its end, the art, the skill, and the labor of the people of the United States have been employed with greater diligence and vigor and on broader fields than ever before, and the fruits of the earth have been gath ered itit > the granary and the storehouse in mar vellous abundance; our highways have been length ened, and new and prolific regions have been occu pied. We are permitted to hope that the long pro tracted political and sectional dissensions are, at no distant day, to give place to returning harmony and fraternal affection, throughout the Republic. Many foreign States have entered into liberal agree ments with us, while nations which are far off, and which heretofore have been unsocial and exclusive, have become our friends. The annual period of rest which we have reached in health and tranquil ity, and which is crowned with so many blessings, is by universal consent a convenient and suitable one for cultivating personal piety and practicing public devotion. I therefore recommend that Thursday, the 26th day of November next, be set apart and observed by all the people of the United States as a.'day of public praise, thanksgiving, and prayer to t lie Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler of the Uni verse, by whose ever watchful, merciful and gracious providence alone, States arid nations, no less than families and individual meni do live sand have their being. In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal Of thetfnited . States to be af fixed. Done at the city of,Mashington this 12th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight Lunched and sixty-eight, and of the Indepen dence of the United States the ninety-third. By the President. • • Wm. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State. Political—The World of New York and the .Ara tlonallntelligencer of Washington, demand the with drawal of Gen.

An Auditor General and Survey or General were elected for the whole State, and Messrs. liartranft and Campbell, the Republican candidates for those offices had a majority of be tween ten and elvien 'thousand. 'Members of Con gress were also chosen in each district, as :also members of the State Legislature. The result gives the Republicans 62 of the 81 members in the 7,ower llouse, and 38 of the 52 members of the Senate. t'hcalelphia.—The city election on the 13th of October was much more peaceable than was anti paled from the movements of Sheriff kyle, who swore in alorce or-deputica - - and Issued - a - corps of instructions apparently designed to supersede the city authorities and overawe the police. The prompt action of Judge Allison checked this insolence of usurpation, but the deputies were not withdrawn, although forbidden to approach the pollit' or display batons. These rules they broke through, and in many ways evinced their character and the end of their organization. Three of their number were guilty of murder during the day. The illegal naturalization papers were rejected by some election judges, but accepted by others, especially in the Democratic districts. The great mass of the New York and Baltimore rowdies vis ited the city for the day to vote on their muscle, so that "the metropolis" had a quite a time of it. The result, as ascertained by the return judges, gives Fox, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, 1,838 majority; Melloy (Dem.) for Receiver of Taxes, 238 majority; Sheppard (Dem.) for District Attor ney 1,275 majority; Fletcher (Dem.) for Prothon otary of the Common • Pleas 631 majority ; Getz (Dem.) for City Comptroller 724'majority ; Barger (Dem) for City Solicitor 892 majority. Hare (Rep.) for Judge of District Court 25 majority; Greenbank (Dem.) for Associate Judge 125 majority; Weaver (Dent.) for City Commissioner 953 majority. Ip•tha first Congressional' District, Randall (Dern.) has 6,337 majority;"in the second, O'Neill (Rep.) has 2.620; in the third, lioffet (Dem.) has' 127 majori ty ; in the fourth, Kelley (Rep.) has 1,859 majority; in the fifth, which includes Bucks countyy, Reading (Dem.) has a small' majority. None of these Dem ocratic elections, except that of Randall, are accept ed as finalitieft by the Republican party, as the cor ruption and fraud practised to secure them were too gross and open to allow of their being taken as the expression of the popular will;---Philadelphia has 7,600 liquor-Shops, 385 churches, and 245 schools.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD, APPROACHING COMPLETION. The rails have been laid across the two great mountain ranges of the continent—the Rocky Moun tains and the Sierra Nevada—and are beiiig rapidly wished onward along the ifitervening valleys. Ma ny persons imagined, when the Pacific Railroad was projected; that it would halt, at the mountain barriers. The result hae been that the Corporations entrusted with its constructicin have redoubled their energies as the work went on.. Twelve hundred miles of the route b?..tween Omaha and Sacramento are made by, the locomotive, arid the gap of about five hundred miles. between the Eastern and West ern portions will be further reduced by 250 miles before January. Verily, this is marvellous progreis, and the Overland Railroad' hi no lOnger a thing of hope and conjecture—it is, almost an assured suc cess. The Central Pacific Railroad Company who have in hand the Pacific Half of the line, have built more than 200 miles since the first of July last, and have 100 miles graded in advance of their track. The growing confidence of the community in this Road is shown by the demand for the First Mortgage Gold Bonds issued thereupon, which were two years ago offered at 95, are now selling at 103 and inter est, in currency, and may go higher shortly. There is, we are informed, a probability that the remain der of the Loan will be disposed of within a short time. Capitalists and others interested in such mattersican learn the particulars and foundation of the. Bonds by reference to the advertisement of the Financial-Agents, Messrs. Fist( & .LiAreu, of New York City, elsewhere in this issue.

First Mortgage Bonds of the Central Pacific Railroad Company are offered to investors, for the present, at 103 per cent., and Accrued Interest, in Car. reney. These Bonds are secured by a Trust Deed upon the most important link of the great Inter-Oceanic Rail road, two thirds of which is already built, at a cost of nearly ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS, And which enjoys already a self-sustaining way traffic. The whole line of continuous rail, between New York and San Francisco will be completed by. July next, when an immense through business will undoubtedly follow. More than 1,200 miles of the distance between the Missouri River and the Pacific Ocean are already traversed by the loco motive ; and it is probable that 300 miles additional will be completed during the current year. The fu ture of this Line, therefore, is unusually promising. The Central Pacific Railroad Company receive from the United States Government about ten millions of acres of the PUBLIC LANDS, situated along the line of their Road ; also a Subsidy Loan of U, S. Six Per Cent. Bonds, averaging $35,- 000 per mile, aS fast as the sections of twenty miles are completed. They hare received, in addition; im portant G ran ts from the State and cities of California, worth more than $3,000,000 in Gold. The pro ceeds of these Lands, Bonds, Capital Stock, Subscrip tiotis, Subventions, and Net Earnings are invested in the enterprise, to which is added the amount realized from First Mortgage Bonds. These latter have the fast lien upon the whole property, and are issued to the same amountonly as the Government advances, or to the extent of about one-third the cost value of the Road, equipment, etc. The Cash Resources are abundant for the comple tion of the work, and the net earnings, from the way traffic upon 325 miles now open for business, are more than double the current interest liabilities. tAr Besides dmileage upon all through business, this road, having the best lands for settlement, the most. pro ductive mines, the nearest markets, and being exempt from competition, will always command large reve nues, which are wholly in Coin. Two-thirds of the entire Loan is already marketed, and, judging by past experience, the Loan will soon be closed. Investors who desire an unusually safe, reliable, and profitable security would do well to pur chase before the Bonda are all taken. The Company reserve the right to advance the price at any time; but all orders actually in transitu a t the time of any such advance will be filled at present price. At this time they pay more than 8 per cent. upon the investment, and have, from National and Stale laws, guarantees superior to any other corporate securities now offered. The First Mortgage Bonds are of $l,OOO each, with semi-annual gold coupons attached, payable in July and January. Both INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL ARE MADE EXPRESSLY PAYABLE IN UNI TED STATES GOLD COIN. The back interest. from July Ist is charged only at the currency rates. We receive all classes of Government Bonds, at their full market rates, in exchange for the Central Pacific Railroad Bonds, thus enabling the holders to realise from 5 to 10 per cent. profit and keep the principal of their investments equally secure. Orders and inquiries will receive prompt attention.
