OtJaTIN. i ELI SM PER, Secret ary of the Commonwealth. - By the Governor: THE WAR Our advices from the Army of the Potomac to day indicate a heavy increase and continual rein forcement of the rebel army on the Rappahannock about Fredericksburg, and this fact will, ho doubt, be used as an alarm signal by the enemies of the Government to create divisions among the people, and detract from that confidence in our military leaders which has been growing in every State ra pidly for the past few weeks. In view, of this cruel and most unpatriotic action on the part of our real malcontents, it is only necessary for us to. say that General Burnside's private despatches have created a hopeful feeling among those who. have the destinies of our country in charge for the time. The movement of the army has been very satisfactory in its eonception and execution; and while its results are already partially ap parent, and will bo creditable, no one can look at the history of the present week and' say that' this concentration of the rebels has not been one of the results of this great movement. The robeisi in making a stand at Fredericksburg, are only de fending tljeir capital, depot of supplies, fortified base, and entire' Southern communication'. r The Rappfihanncok river is the main line of defence before Richmond. To cross it with our army, in force, Burnside is now ordered; in the event of whioh the rebels must fall back behind the James river—their second line of defence. Appreci ating the importance of the strategy evinced in our movement to the Rappahannock, the rebels are concentrating about Fredericks burg, and General Lee’s army ie now defending Richmond. We could do nothing better than meet the enemy in an extensive pitched just where he is. We believe that Gens. Burnside, Sumner, Hooker, and Franklin, are anxious and able to “ try eon elusions" wi h Lee, Longstreet, Jaoksoa, and Hill, right upon that beautiful series of gentle slopes between the Rappahannock and Massaponnax, in sight of the ancient town now beleaguered by the opposing armies of the Union and rebel States. That a battle will be fought near this spot we have no doubt, and the heavier it is the worse will be the result for the rebels. Lee’s army is the sole defence and life of the Southern cause— a defeat of that army would be death to the re bellion. The overthrow of this army of Lee is the work of the Army of the Potomac during the coming month. That it is competent to the task hone can doubt. It is superior to the rebel army in every feature and particular. Struggling in the right cause and field, with redoubled strength, ' The Army of the Potomao will win Bicbmond-on the Rappahannock, hut the Army of the Jamas will occupy tho city; and show* to the world the tow lying quietly before Fredericksburg. Thanksgiving By the proclamation of the Governor the - citizens of this Commonwealth are invited to unite to-day in the annual thanksgiving. This custom has become one of the dearest ceremo nies of the year, and lh;dur ; jNW England and .Northern homes is supplanting the Christmas that came to ns from our ancestors. We hot only- give thanks, but learn to love one another. Families are reunited, old friend ships are renewed, and the sweet ties of social intercourse are strengthened and nourished. We are on the threshold of winter, with au tumn’s lingering remembrances still fresh and sad. We are learning to love tho warm fire side, to enjoy the easy chair and the valued vo lume, to trace fantastic figures on the moisten ed pane. Thanksgiving enlivens the dull and . heavy season that now cloud a around us, and in flie bright and joyous hours it brings to us—-in the bright and joyous recollections it leaves be hind—we have the most delightful moments of the year. We ' are better and purer for Thanksgiving Day. There is a truce to all vexations, and enmities, and bitterness. The beneficence of Qod embraces all men and ail classes of men. The rich and the poor—those in bereavement and ihose in gladness—all feel His benign and holy influence and ask for His holy benediction. On a day like this it is well that we should consider the duties that are prescribed for us. We have personal duties to perform—the ob ligations of men to men. The war has. fallen heavily upon all the community. We have a dependent popula'ion larger than we ever had before. Fathers whose sons are sleeping by the side of many a Southern river, wives whose husbands are away in the service of : them country, children who are fatherless—all demand our care. The cold days that we feel so keenly / are more terrible to others, who have no means of protection except our libe- , rality and kindness. Arid on this Thanks giving Day we should consider the obligations we owe to them. This personal relation is one of the most solemn that come to us. We can only truly thank God when we have justly performed it. ' Let us thank Goff for the manifold blessings He has bestowed upon our State. The tide of war has rolled against our borders; but we have been virtually spared from its bloody flood. We have prospered where others have failed, to prosper. Wo have seen our State grow in strength, and wealth, and power. Agriculture has yielded the husbandman a hundred fold, and the miseries of Lancashire have been spared those who spin, and dig, and delve. No country'has- ever passed through a war with so little suffering. With exception of the constant bulletin of war that comes with the morning newspaper, and, the tidings of discomfiture that God occa sionally visits upon ns in chastisement for our pride and wickedness, we have been spared the fearful visitation. Pennsylvania has ad vanced in everything that contributes to her material prosperity, and she verges upon the new year with brilliant hopes for the future. Let us afenk God that we still maintain our nationality—that we are still a republic. We can see his providence in every step of our progress. He has saved us from sedition and treason, and a rebellion which the darkest , page of history does not rival in infamy. Ex tending into another generation—imbedded in long years of prejudice and Mae states manship.—sustained by corrupt men here and ambitious men elsewhere—the monster was engendered in our social system until the time came when we must either die or kill it that we might live. A more embarrassing and dreadful alternative was never presented to man. There was a fear that we could not appreciate the true cause, the motive and' the impulse, the life and soul of the great crime—that we had not been educated into a proper idea of our duty, that we were still blinded by the mists and , shadows “and’ illusions that have been engendered by false men and false doctrines. For a time it seemed’ as if we would follow; the distant, wavering, vanishing mirage of a dishonorable Union only to find we had wandered Into the wilderness and death in a vain ambition to grasp a painte 1 cloud. This delusion has passed. We see with our own eyes, and, no longer speak of dreams. We have an idea such as no Roman or Greek in the noblest days of Roman or Grecian liberty ever embodied in his philosophy.. Li berty is the legend on our banners—Liberty, is the impulse that moves every, heart—Liber ty is the divinity to whom we give life and -wealth ss so many burnt offerings, and' we shall be blessed forevermore for having done so much to establish and strengthen constitu tional liberty in this new world. As a community which has holy and sacred duties to perform, as citizens with a country to fight and die for, as men who have enjoyed the blessings of this glorious and enlightened age, let ns thank God;' Humbly, dutifully, and with as: should become a loyal and patriotic people, let us observe and profit by this Thanksgiving Day. . The Proposed Mediation. We print this morning the letter of the French Minister of State, proposing to unite with England and Russia in an offer of me diation to the United States. As b known, the offer has been rejected by the other Powers, and, therefore, it possesses to us ho more interest than that of a State document, which might have assumed a momentous im-. portance in our history. The Minister of State presents his propositions very frankly, lie tells ns that the Emperor is moved to. mediate partly by a humane and partly by a selfish motive. He does not like the continued war between “/two populations bis heart is moved by the great shed ding of blood. Then ho regrets that a greiat source of French industry and wealth has been dried up by-the existence of the blockade. For these,reasons he proposes tbat there shall bo an armistice of sis months be- -* -*»««. - —'A*-**--: the meantime,-the good offices of the mari time Powers— France, and England— would be tendered to smooth. away the' diffi culties that now exist between the contending parties; This he is encouraged to suggest, because at the time the offer was made there ■ was no prospect of any movement on the part of the antagonistic armies, and in their stra tegic relations they occupied the same posi tion that they did in the commencement : of the war. The French Minister also thought he saw signs of a desire for peace in the North r and South, and he was desirous of encouraging the sentiment. We. see nothing in the words of the French Minister to show any real sympathy with the American Republic. He neglects the great object for which we are contending. He only sees in the American quarrel an effnsion: of blood, which moves the eyes of his Majesty to tears, and a stoppage of tobacco and cotton which embarrasses his revenue. He only asks for six months of a truce. He does not see that these six months can only bo followed by. a dishonorable peace; only cause anxiety on the pirt of those who have this war to fight; intrigue on the part of bad men here, and in Europe, and the South; vast, smuggling operations, in which the factors of Lyons, and Liverpool, and Charleston would become enriched. It would be the -undoing of all that we have done. It would be' to breathe life ‘into the expiring South- It would enable Mr. Laird to complete a few more privateers, and Mr. Mason to replenish the arsenals # of the Southern Confederacy. The terms of our volunteer enlistments would be very soon over, and before another cam- > paign could be fought wo should have a disor ganized army. The rebels would ask no bet-' ter support than that of a six months’ truce. They could realize on their cotton, ‘strengthen their treasury, and by the aid of their North ern friends, weaken public sentiment in the . North, and endeavor to prepare the way for a dishonorable peace. We must fight this battle to the end. We entered the contest with reluctance j we had • no desire to quarrel—but when war became the alternative ef degradation, we accepted the bloody gambit, and the issue is with God. To that issue all that we have i 3 committed. Money, life, blood, are as nothing in compari son with our great'design. The six months that - Napoleon proposes to devote to intrigue and diplcmacy arid the preparation ef protocols we can employ in a better business. We. are r now moving on to Richmond, and in a few : weeks we shall accomplish by the sword more than the European Powers could accomplish ..te anv-mediation or intervention. A little that the end is at hand, and we can shape our destiny even as we commenced it, without the; fear or the favor of any sovereign that aits. Death of a Member of the Bar. We regret to be compelled to record.tbe death of Edward A. Mench, Esq , a member of the Phi ladelphia, bar.-Mr. Mench- expired -yesterday mqping, at eleven o’clock, at the Continental Ho tel. He was a Philadelphian by birth, and at the time of his death was in tho thirty-second year of his age. He died from pneumonia, and had been unwell but a few days. Mr. Mench was one of the most popular and highly- esteemed citizens of Phi ladelphia. He was associated in his practice with St. George T. Campbell, and stood high in his profession. As a scholar -his" tastes .were exqui site, and his acquaintance with literature thorough and comprehensive. As a gentleman, he was en deared to all who kne w-him by his kindness of heart, his genial manners, and his; never-failing courtesy. - As a friend he was constant, true, and ardent, and in all the relations of life he seemed to realize the accomplished and high-toned gentle man. Mr. Mench was remarkable for his manly health and beauty, and it is but a few days sinoe saw in Ihe enjoyment of all that is pre cious in life. He will be buried on Saturday morning. - WASHINGTON.

So copies will be sent out in advance. Therefore it will be tele graphed to the Press as soon as its reading shall be com. mecced. The object of this’ course is understood to be the prevention pi a premature disclosure of its contents, and to enable the President to avail himself of the latest official intelligence. f V The Case of Gen McDowell—The Points on which he Urges an Investigation. The court of inquiry inthecaseof General MoDowbil reassembled to-day, when he, having been called upon, read a paptr, submitting a plan of investigation, in the course of which he says: The details of the disaster of' the first battle of Bull-Bon having been investigated' by a joint committee of Oongreas, and. he having since been; appointed by the President and oonfimed by the Senate, as major general, he has not thought it’neoeasary t» ask the' court to take up that campaign, hut only"to in vestigate his conduct since he was thus commis sioned. , The question wbioh stands forth promt, nently in this case, and which may be assumed as' the charge to which all this other points oan be re garded as specifications, is that of treason. Knowing of' no specific act, none having been charged, he has the' task of proving a negative By direct proof. This is impossible, and the only way he knows of doing so Is" by such evidence as shall cause Innocence to belnferrcd. It was with this view he wrote to the President, asking an Investigation on snobpoints as wontd, if the re sult should prove favorable, leave no doubt to Ms pre judice. ;■ \ ■ * - : .In.additlonto this question of 'his general conduct as an executive and administrative officer, he asks inquiry to be made in those points whioh[he supposes may have had weight to the minds #f ethers, and a direct bearing on the main question, as follows: First. An investigation 61 Ms correspondence with the enemy’s commanders, or with any one within the enemy’s lines. Stcond. An investigation of his conduct, and the policy pursued by him towards the inhabitants of the country occupied by onr troops, with reference to themselves or their property. Thiji matter, he says, has been severely commented npon throughout the conotry and in both bouses ot Oongresa/and may possibly have’had much to do with the ebargeof treason. As to bis oondnot toward the inhabitant*, w/th reference to themselves he -wishes to offer his general order concerning rape, robbery, aqll pillage; end those with reference to the interference -with the railroad andteiegraph, etc. Third.

The two armies, on the contrary, were in a condition that would not allow either party to hope within a brief delay for any decided advantage to lorn the balance, and accelerate the conclusion of a peace.: AH these circumstances taken together point to the opportunity of an armistice to which, moreover, under the present circumstances, no strategical objection can be .madoi: The favorable dispositions towards peace which ai e beginning to manifest themselves in the Horlh as well as in Ihe Soulh might, on tho other'hand, second steps that might be made to recommend the Idea of a truce. -The Emperor has, Therefore, thought that the occasion has presented itself of offering to the belli gerents the 'support of the good offices of the maritime Powers, and bis Majesty has charged me to make ihe proposition of this Government to her Britannic Mfijsoty, »3 well as ,The Court of Buaffa,' that the three Cabinets would exert their influence at Washing ton, as well as with the Confederates,Toobtain an armi stice for six months, during which every act of war, di rect or indirect, should provisionally ceate, on sea as well as on land, and it, might be, if necessary, ul teriorly prolonged.

If tnete calami; ies affected America only, these sufferings of a friendly nation wonld be enough to excite the an*, ieiy and sympathy of the Binparor, but Europe also has snffrnd in one tf the principal branches of her industry, and her citiz ns have been subjected to most cruel trials. Erance and the maritime Powers nave, during the struggle, maintained a at,ict neutrality, but the sen i ments by which they are animated, far from imposing on ’* ke todiff«ance, seems, on thewntrary“ to reamre that they should assist the two belligerent par ties in the erd. avor to escape from a position which ap pears to have no issue. • • p . The forces of the two sides have hitherto fought with balanced success, and, the hnest acconnts do not show any prospect of a speedy t-rmina ion of the war These circumstances, taien together, would seem to favor the adoption of me asures which might bring about a truce. .rJ< h . e L E “"? 6ror of ‘he French, therefore, Is of the opinion that there is now an opportunity of offering to the belli gerents the good.officM of- the maritime Powers.. He, therefore, propcsesto Her Majesty, as well as to the Em- 5 e ror of Bnsela, that the three Courts should endeavor, both at Washington and in communication with the Con federate States, to bring about a suspension of arms for Bixmonfhs, during which every act of hostility, direct or indirect, should cease at sea as well as da land. This armistice: might, if necessary, be renewed for a further mniod. This proposal, M.

'HyGrosman; The deoeased 'presented a most natural and tranquil appearanoe, the expression of the countenance having softened into the life like dreamy look of sleep. ly , 'The funeral services were conducted by tho Bov. Dr. BoetdmaD, at the residence of thp father of the deceased. They commenced with the reading of the fourteenth chs|ter of Job, that peculiarly appropriate andpsthkio Bekctton. Br. Boardman then ;made a abort address. He remarked that all presont moat apprectaiethape.cn linr-circumbtances in which they found themselves at that hour. •It b*d seldom happened that any mansion had , beenlßhiehted bo long as the one in which they stood had been from the approach of death. The speaker had never hadoocaaion to visit the family of the deceased on an occasion like the present, durlogthe whole period of yi»yiiejconntc,ion withhis churob, a term of nearly thirty the cireomßtaticea~untt~sr~'Wßlcn~~ttiO-nßcfeaßjd h?i.Pl.St_witl> "Ms- the General had been out with his' pickets until af ter midnight. Betnrntng to his tent, he slept there until; day light. Oapfer Freeland, bit the Bth Mew Jersey, relates that it was the custom of the Genet at to place hts pistoli which was a dangerous self-acting one, under his pfclow, swhiist sleeping. « When ; ha .awoke,, on Saturday morning, he took up the pistol, and, passing it bom one hand, to the other, to hang it upon the hook. It went off, and shot him through the Heart." It Is a consolation, how ever, to know that ho had with him a follow-officer dad friend to beer witness to theaffeotingcircamstanoe, Tne very -honorable action taken by the officers of his brigade and the resolutions pasted by them, will form a last tri bute to the memory of the brave deoeased. Bev. N. St. John OhambrO, chaplain of the Bth New Jersey Volun teer* says that he was Intimately acquainted with the General, and mourns his death as though the deoeased were his own brother. This witness Ulna, bates the estimation in wbloh he was held. As a most brave, intrepid, andekiirnl officer hs must long hero, membored. At the battle of Williamsburg he held his poriUon for six hours betore a foe six Holes his number. By the dauntless bravery of himself and troops he re . possessed again and again the positions which the over whelming numbers of the enemy foresd him momentarily lo resign. One of his great charaoteristios was the good cai e. he took of his men. When they were on a weary march'he would not ride. This little fact of rracUoe suggests a yolnme of principle. In Mb last letter home, written on the 10th inst, he remarked, “Others'may, bnt loannot be Indifferent to my responsibility to God, man, and my own conscienoe. This subject presses heavily upon me, tor I feel that I am growing old.” When he went out last year with bis three-months regiment, a friend said to Mm: “Well, I hope yon may have a chance, to. distinguish yourself.”.;: He replied, « That is not my object. Igo from no simply from a sense of duly.” The defence and preservation of onr Union and Oenstiluiion wasindeodhia only motive, and this it is wMch>enders bo precions'the cohstantholo eansts of human'life, which the grave is Incessantly ac cumulating, The lifeless remains Of the General formed the sacrifice we were; to-day called upon to mourn. We gave him back to Godi We felt that the country by Ms death haa demanded a great saerific&at onr han‘da, and one which reminds us that , the great end of this war should be zealously;-kept, in sight. We were assembled together to mqjim. One. arm alone could snstain the mourners in their bereavement. Hu man sympathy fails to alleviate at so awful a •crirfs; the sympathy of Him who wept" at the grave of Bezants can alone heal the wounded spirit, and hd • minister the balm ot oonaolaHon' to the sJckehed son!. The speaker closed by expressing a fervent wish that God would, indeed, grant the ; help implored, and teach, through tendor disciyUne, the chasteulDg lesaon of the house of mourning, Fot Hinde, cenragej military proweßS were valnable, and of honorable worth.ln Ufo,,but they could not arm the soul to meet with resignation the swift °F slow approach of death.

Her tones of voice aro wide in their range, and lhoughoocaw sionally harsh, are not wholly unsympathetic. - Her ges tures ,are natural and easy, and her whole demeanor self posseised, and yet unassuming. She is a lady of much vigor of intellect, and'of .wide and accurate intelligence. . The subject lest evening was well chosen—an aid sub ject, yet one ever fruitful In new suggestions. The lec tureee alluded to the history of repnbtics; the circum stances which’origlnated them;: which accompanied them in Ihelr progress; which markodlheir advancement,{or in dicated their decline. The peculiarities in tho policies of ancient and modem republics were clearly defined, indi vidualized, and elucidated. Reference was made to our great men of the "past, the pioneers of human freedom and civiiizatioDysnd' the characters of those American heroes and sages were run parallel with the characters of tho politicians of ihe present era. Great stress was laid upon the fact that intheDeclaration of Independence all men were horn free and equal, and the enlargement of the lectnress upon this truth was greeted with hearty ap plause. The war was touched upon with judgment and feeling, and the audience throughout testified its appre ciation of both lecture and lectuross by judiciously-be stowed applause. The proceeds of (his lecture are for the benefit of the Citizens’ Volunteer Hospital, Broad street and Washington avenue.
