By the President of the Uitittd Slates,
The year which Is drawing to a dose bas
been free from pestilence, health has pre
vailed throughout the luml, abundant crops
reward the labors of thi husbandmen, com
merce unit manufactures have been success
fully prosecuted through their peaceful
pallia, the mines aud furesls l.avo yielded
liberally, the nation has incrcus 'd in wealth
und lie blessings bavo advanced every in
terest of the people in every part of the
Union; haitnony aud fraternal intercourse
restored and obliterating tho marks of the
past conllict and enstmiigonrent; burdens
have been lightened, ui'uns increased, civil
nnd religious liberty are secured to every
inhabitant of tho land, whose soil is to-day
peopled by none but freemen. It becomes
n people thus favored to make acknowledge,
meat to tho Supreme Author from whom
such blessings flow, of thoir gratitude and
their dependence to lender praises and
thanksgiving for tlo same, and dovoutly to
implore a coutinuunoa of God's mercies.
Therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant, President
of tho United States, do recommend that
, Thursday, the 18ih day of November next,
be observed as a diy ol Thanksgiving and
of praite and prayer to Almighty Gjd, the
creator aud the ruler of tho universe.
Ana second, 1 do lurther recommond to
all the people of tho United S lutes to atm-ru.

of public worship, aud unite la the bouiag"
and pruifo duo tho bountiful futber of all
meroy and ia fervent prayers lor tbo contin
uance of tho uiercilul blessings he has
voucbsifod lo us us a people.
In testimony whereof I bavo hereunto set
my hand and Caused the seal of tho Uui
ted States to bo affixed, this, the Gib, day
of October, A. D., 1809, aud of tho lade
pendunoe of tbo United States of America

By lh President.
u Hamilton Fish.
Secretary of State,
A noblo inMuuce of heroic devotion to
duly occurred on the railroad between New
ark and New York. A watchman w hose
duly it was to cloto a drawbridge upon the
approach of the trains was iu tho uct of per
forming bis duly when his little boy fell in
to the deep waier. To have jumped ia and
rescued him would huvo been an easy mat
ter, but a passenger train was already in
sight coming ut a high rate of speed. To
save the child would involve the destruction
of tho train and tbo loss of many lives. It
must bave been a tettible alternative to the
lather; but duly triumphed. Tho draw wus
closed and the train passed on with its load
of passengers in safely while tho child er
ished. His lileless remains were recovered
shortly ulterwards. The New York papers
have suggested that the passengers on the
train ought to subscrile fuuds to raise 1
monument over tho child that would com
memorate his death und tbo heroic conduct
of bis father.
