To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever- watchful providence of Almighty pod, Inthe midst of a civil war of unequalled magni- tude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggres sion, pesos has been preserved with all nations. order has been maintained ; the laws have been re seeded and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theatre of military con flict ; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and "miles of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plough, the shuttle, or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metal, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield; and the country, rejoicing in the consoionsnees of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expectcontinu ance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised, nor bath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the AIM Nigh God, Who, while dealing with us in anger for our stns, bath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me dt and p'oper that they should be solemnly, re• verently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow•oltizens, in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to pet apart and observe the last Thursday of No vember next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heaven,. And I recommend to them that, while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Rim for such singular deliverance and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and diao'3e diet ce, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mournenr, or Buffer en in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavrdabiy engaged, And fervently implore the la% terpoaitikn of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of thenation, and to restore if as soon as may be coital iffen t with the Divine purpose. to the full enjoy ment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and Union. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, And caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thou [L, s.] sand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of independence of the Jnited States the eightpeighth. By the President : WILLIAM H. SE:WARD, Secretary of State TEE NEWS — from the . front of Chattanooga ; Sherman's assault upon Missionary Ridge, and Hooker's attack on Lookout Mountain, have all been brilliantly Inc easeful. The rebel positions were heroicallyatormed and carried at every point. Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, and all the important points in our front have been taken, and the enemy's left completely turned, at a great loss of morale Ind men to General Bragg's army. As high as from six to. ten thousand prisoners are reportia captured, and even a whole rebel corps is said to be in our possession. These reports will doubtless be greatly modified, but the victory win - remain of the that importance and skill. Every psrt oh General Grant's campaign has thus far been rie complished without delay or blundering ; and it hi not probable that he will now fail of a greater sue eels. Bragg was said to be endeavoring to escape ; but our army are doubtless more than even with him at both sides, and he can only move by running the gauntlet of battle. In any ease, his situation appears to be a dilemma. The news from Knoxville Is satisfactory. Gene. rill Burnside le keeping all his communications open and holding Knoxville. The success of Gene ral Grant, who has, awarding to the latest news, accomplished a great and splendid victory, in which the courage of our troops was never surpassed, will ultimately decide the late of Longstreet. General Bragg sends sidespatch to the rebel Adjutant General stating that Burnside's cavalry is almost brolcen up,. that Longstreet holds all the roads to Knoxville ex cept one, and that Wheeler's cavalry had cut oft a train betwixt Cumberland Gap and-Knoxville. A connesrortmuit of the Chicago Journal, wri ting from the Army of the Cumberland, speaks of the new military railroad which is being built by Go vernor Johnson, connects which Nashville with the Tennessee river, a distance of a little over sixty miles. A gang of workmen are engaged in its construction, and it is maid that it will be in running order in a 'maple of months. This will be a great improve. ment upon the Louisville and Nashville Road, will& Is one hundred and eighty-nine miles in length, and runs through a country full of guerribu. A nrr r. has been introduced into the Minimal Le gislature providing for an election for delegates to a new emancipation convention.

Queue. Thanksgiving. The spectacle of a free, sensitive, and in telligent people like this, pausing, amid the very whirl and tumult of the most fearful and devastating civil war that the world has ever seen, to recognize their dependence upon DiVine, favor, and humbly to render thanks to the Almighty for the blessings bestowed upon the nation during the year just closed, is a grand, and, at a superficial view, may even appear to be an anomalous spectacle. Yet, despite the misery, and the bloodshed, and the sorrows that the year has brought us, it is not extraordinary that our hearts should be filled with thankful ness today; for the months that have slipped so rapidly around In the throng of momentous events" have not come to us as harbingers of evil alone. Aside from the melancholy fact that this Thanksgiving day still finds our country the theate of a fratricidal strife, destructive to material interests as long as it continues, it may be safely affirmed that, as a whole people, we have greater and more glorious occasion to ABRAHAM LINCOLN. WABIEDIOTON, Nov. 25, 1863. When I anticipated , that Mr. Everett would pronounce the finest oration of his life at the dedication of the Gettysburg Ceme tery, I meant to intimate that I believed he would be equal to his mighty theme ; not that I knew what he intended to utter. I do not now propose to praise his great ad dress ; everybody is doing that ; much less do I claim it as a merit to say here that he 'finished the task set before him with the ability of the polished scho lar and the soul of the patriot ; for everybody says this, too. What I wish to print this morning is that the friends of the Union should preserve and promulgate the truths he has set forth. Principles and maxims which are the offspring of eternal truth can never be improved upon. There is nothing more exact, and severe, and un deviating than the right. 34ut there are many ways to illustrate and defend the right ; many ways to make a plain principle look brighter to the common mind ; many ways to strengthen and enforce the unchanging maxima of good government and good men. The gift to do all this belongs, of an li v i ng cha. radon, in my opinion, mainly to Edward Everett. What a profusion of thought, and toil, and genius, he brought to his country's CUM on the 19th of November, at the Banc give thanks to God to-day than has ever been the case before in our national history on such an impressive -anniversary. We thank God for the dawn of freedom on this continent.. We thank God that the prospect of a speedy downfall of the rebellion was never so auspicious as it seems to us to-day. We thank God that the fell spirit of political partisanship, whichisowed the seeds of the present discord between the North and South, and threatened quite as seriously as the institution of slavery itself to imperil the existence of the Government, has been banished from our State and National councils by'the voice of the people, and can never more, we hope, pervert the legis lation of the Government to the base uses of party. We thank God that materially, as well as morally, our country is prospering, as it never prospered in the , sluggish times of peace and compromise—that our farmers have never reaped larger crops, our me chanics have never been more steadily em ployed, and our laborers have never been paid at a higher rate of wages than in these days. And we thank God that our nation has never been stronger in the loyalty of its people, in the size of its armies, and in the extent of its navies, as well to protect it self against domestic insurrections as for eign encroachments. If, amid such' grate ful reflections as these, we should incline to a feeling of regret for the brave men who, in the past year, have given up their lives freely for their country's sake, and for the heroes, not less noble, languishing for the common sustenance of life in,the loathsome Richmond prisons ; let us ever find in the sufferings and sacrifices of these patriotic men a fresh source of strength and consolation ; let us thank God, as we mournfully recall the bloody record of a year of battles, that the nation is blessed with courageous souls, who recognize no earthly value so high as human liberty, and no cause so worthy of their precious blood as the cause of man's enfranchisement. Gratitude to them is gratitude to God. The Military Genius of the South. The time will come when justice will be done to the military genius and courage of the South. It will be long after the war, when every battle-field shall be a harvest field of peace, when the yellow grain shall again wave over the desolated plains of Vir ginia as over the plains of Waterloo, that the military questionS of the war will be analyzed, independently of all moral ques tions., This war will be criticised pre cisely as we criticise the wars of A.LEXSEDICE or Narour.ox, without regard to good or evil principles.l It will then be un doubtedly found that, while the war on the part of the Southern States has been par tially blundered, its conduct has generally been masterly, and that in Virginia espe cially it has been carried on with a remarka ble combination of daring, prudence, ener gy, and patience. This verdict must be, rendered then in full as now in part, other wise how shall the North, with its su perior strength in numbers, and wealth, and munitions of war, honorably explain its failure to capture Richmond, and the reverses of its magnificent armies? Of the bravery of our own gallant troops, of the splendid talent of some of our generals, it Is unnecessary to speak ; history may praise as it will the courage and ability of the enemy, we need not fear the comparison. But it must be remembered that to under rate the power of the foe tarnishes the glory of •the victory, and that the force of that magnificent storm of war which has swept round from the shores of the Ohio and be yond the Mississippi, down to gte moun tains of Georgia and Alabama, can only be measured by a knowledge of the force which opposed it. Europe ridiculed our conquest of Mexico, on the ground that the United States was as a giant fighting a dwarf. The conquest of this once mighty, and yet bold rebellion, cannot so be scorned. The justice thus done to the military ge nius of the rebellion will not prevent the next generation from loathing the meanness and cruelty of its treason. We do not the less despise the memory of ARNOLD for the knowledge that he was a brave soldier. ; very of Southern soldiers ints thou sands of graves, will also be a monument of the heartless ambition of their leaders. And the more sincerely wAdmire the devo tion of the deceived, the store strongly'shall we hate the cruelty of their deceivers. Mr. SEWARD suggested this difference of feeling in his fine speech at Gettysburg, and no where is it more thoroughly appreciated than in the ranks of the Federal army. Thus, we step aside for a moment to pay no reluctant tribute to the valor of the soldiers of the South ; and, in so doing, with victory on our side, pay still higher tribute to the soldiers of the North. They have the nobler cause to inspire them in the field, the sounder principles to sustain them in the privations and miseries of the camp. It is said-that the South is in deadly earnest. Granted'; but the loyal States are in living j earnest, and never so earnest as now. They have summoned by their votes as well as their armies the citiadels of treason, to surrender, and their summons is being an swered. And the army now restlessly en camped on the Rapidan, and that which stretches along the mountain ranges of Eastern Tennessee, do not lightly demand this surrender, but somewhat in the style and spirit of ETHAN ALLEN, when he called upon the British soldiers to submit, "in the name and by the authority of the Almighty and the Continental Congress." THE, main difficulties in the way of an ex change of prisoners between the rebel au thorities and our - Government are very hilly indicated in the letter of Mr.. Solicitor WHITING, of the War Department, which we print elsewhere. • Mr. WHITING charges, firstly, that the rebels have, in violation of agreement, returned to active service many thousands of paroled prisoners, without re leasing any of our own troops ; and, se condly, that they have peremptorily refused to exchange colored soldiers and their white officers upon any terms whatever. Such being the state of the case, no alternative remains to our Government but to suspend all negotiations with the enemy; and from Mr. WRITING'S letter it would appear s that such a -determination has been arrived at. We can think of no action - of the rebel Go vernment that has more cleariy revealed its perfidious character, or that more happily promises to bring about its own speedy downfall, than its condUct in this matter. It would be a false and terrible philanthropy that would dictate further concessions to the enemy now. For now reasons of huma, nity demand as strongly as any reasons of patriotism can dewand, that Richmond shall be taken, and our starving prisoners re leased. There must sortetollere be an end to compromising with our enemy, and the sooner that end is reached the better it will be for the cause of the Union. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." tification (if that were possible) of the Wa terkfri' of the :rebellion near Gettysburg The flowers he laid upon the, nation's altar that d 4 were not. made to wither, but to wear. ; Their perfume will last through generations; for are we not told that The "potions of the just Smell awed, and blossom In the dust" And has not Mr. Everett devoted his best talents to commemorate the bravery of the self-sacrificing dead and the obligations of the deeply-indebted living ? What he wrote and spoke must therefore be preserved. His oration should be made as familiar to the people of the loyal States as the Vicar of Wakefield is to the civilized world. It should be regularly read, or at least pas sages of it, in our schools. The Leagues should make it,a campaign document, and every loyal paper which has not printed it should do so. For never before have the justice of the Union cause, andthe injustice of the rebellion, and the obligations of the American people in this great war, been so forcibly, faithfully, and eloquently pre sented.

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, The Rebel Line—Mr Botts gives Another Dinner WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Nov. :24 —We have news from the Army of the Potomac up to 3P. Lit. Ab sent officers may be interested to .know that several changes of position of army corps have been made.- The Fredericksburg Heights are held by one divi sion of Ewell's corps, which is the eatreele fie:lit Of the rebel army. Lee's left rests near Madison Court House, on this side of the Rapidan. His force is mostly cavalry. The rebel army seems to have no faith at ail that we will advance and fight before May, 1864, for it is manifestly preparing to go into winter quarters at or near Gordonsville. At pre sent it is stretched from that place to some point on. the Richmond and Fredericksburg road, probably Hanover Dinsitaon,",,, Division, left for the rfogh - yostartlay on a sick leave of absence. He is sufferingfrom rheumatimh, superinduced by exposure in the field. His com pulsory absence is a source of regret to the whole commandos they have the.utmost confidence in his ability and skill as a commander. General Merritt, of the 'regular brigade, an accomplished cavalry officer, succeeds to the command. John Minor Botta dined a number of major gene. rale at his residence near Brandy Station yesterday, Among the number was the commanding general. This probably will give fresh rause of offence to the Richniond junta. auLivaltY DISCIPLINS Military discipline, though neither novel nor interesting in the army, would present many scenes and hibidents of curious interest to theuninitiated. Let us take a short walk through the regimental guard.houses of this brigade. At the first,-which is that of the 2d Rhode Island,,we late one with his knapsack strapped on his back; and a stick of wood weighing, say forty pounds, on his shoulder. With these he walks a beat of twenty paces for ten hours— Grime, absent from duty without leave and without reasonable excuse. Another walks a similar beat, with knapsack and musket. He was cerporal of the guard, but was reduced to the . position of. private, and sentenced to walk his beat twelve hours, for sending a private to post his guard while he slept. We pass to another guard•liouse. Here we end a man bucked and gagged. Crime, drunkenness. The operation con• slits of putting a stick in the mouth, with a string passed from each end around the back of , tbe bead. ' The bucking process consists of tying the hands together securely, placing them over the knees. and running a stick through under the knees and over the arms. Still another has his bandit tied together and fastened as far up a tree as be-can conveniently reach. He, also, is gagged. These have three hours on and one off, for twelve hours. We pass to a third guard house. Here ie one who has skulked from duty. He has a large • pile of stone to move some twenty feet, a task many times as arduous as the fatigue dntyr he shirked. Near by IS a grave, fresh dug and 'nuncio/1 up, with a head•atioking out at one end. At his head stood a baud prepared and marked, in large letters : KERB LIES the body GEORG% MASS, who fell DEAD (DRUNK), Nov. 17, 1863. • Doubtkes the good friends at home would think this severe, but It is deemed necessary for the dissi pline of the army, by military commanders, at least.

We captured ninecommiseioned Mears and about 100 enlisted men. Our loss was about 100 men. To-day General Hooker, in command of General Geary's division, 12th Corp; Osterhaus' division, 13th Corps, and two brigades of the 14th Corps, car ried the ninth slope of Lookout Mountain with small loss on our side, end elm to the enemy of 600 or 600 prisoners. The killed and wounded are not reported. There had been own:mewl fighting from 12 until after night, but our troops gallantly repulsed every attempt to retake the poettion. Gen. Sherman crossed the Tennessee before day lightthis morning, at the mouth of the South Chick. amauga, with three divisions of the 15th Corp, and one division of the 16th Corps, and earned the north. tun extremity of ildiseionary Ridge. Our emcees has so far been complete, and the behavior of the troops admirable. GEORGE *H. THONA.S, Major General. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—The following was tO• cecived here this afternoon from a responsible source : CHATTANOOGA ' Nov. 25, Ii A. lttE.--Itte haVe had a brisk engagement this forenoon. We harm driven the enemy ,entirely oft Lookout Mountain, a eon siderable portion of which they held np to this morn log. We have also taken Missionary Ridge from him this forenoon, and the troublesome ritlepita, in the possession of which yesterday's engagement left them at its close. All firing has ceased ; for a min. dent time to warrant theeondusion that Bragg has retreated, certainly, leaving all the grounds and strong pante in dir possession, for which we have been fighting for the but three days. It is too early yet to enable me to give the casualties on either aide, which are not yet known. Our army is in glorious exultation, indeed, over this series of via tories. CHATTANOOGA' Tenn., Nov. 24- 6P. M. The fighting to-day progressed favorably. General Sherman carried the end of Mleatonsry Ridge, and his right is now at the tunnel and his left at Chickamauga creek. The troops from Lookout valley carried the point of the mountain, and now hold the eastern slope and front high up. I cannot yet tell the amount of casualties, but our lose is not heavy. General Hooker reports two thousand prisoners taken, besides widen a small number have fallen into our hands from Missionary Ridge. U. S. GRANT, Major General. WASHINGTON ' Nov. 25.—The following despatch has been received here : tlie summit of - Vern . os:it 77 Mountans t t nightests4 our troops occupy it. He, however, still holdi the . rifle pits on the bans of Missionary Ridge." The news occasions much delight throughout the city. OntevrAirooo.a, Nov. 25.—We are completely victorious. The enemy is totally routed, sad driven from every position. Our loss is small, while that of the enemy is heavy in priaoners. Finding Hooker so successful in his movement against Lookout Idol:Wain, the enemy evacu ated that point during the night. Hooker took possession early this morning. The enemy moved south, and got on Missionary Ridge. General Hooker is said to have captured not less than, 2,000 prisoners in his magnificent assault of Look• out Mountain. General Sherman, being all prepared, began an assault at B A. M. to- day upon the strong position of the enemy at the north end of Missionary Ridge. He had the day before taken a hill near the position of the enemy; but commanded by their artillery. He had to descend into a valley, and then made an other ascent to the position held by the enemy. Two unsuccessful assaults were made by Sherman, but with the co-operation of the centre he ultimate , ly gained the position, and completed the victory. The brigade of Gen. Carey, with a portion of Gen. Leighburn's brigade, composed the storming party in the first assault. They were repulsed with quite a heavy lon, after an attack persisted in for an hour, but being reinforced were enabled to hold apart of the bill. In this attack General Clary was wounded quite severely in the thigh. The 37th Ohio and 6th lowa and 103 d Illinois, were in the attack. A se" rand assault was made at half past one, in which Matthias', Loomis', land Paul's brigades were en gaged. The force reached within twenty yards of the summit of the bill and the works of the enemy, when they were flanked and broken, retiring to the reserves. In this assauit t General Matthias was wounded, and Colonel Prittram, of the 93d Ohio, 'killed. Their persistent efforts compelled the enemy to mass heavily on his right, in order to hold the position, of sopmuch importance to him. AbOut 3 o'clock General Grant started two columns against the weakened centre, and in an hour's desperate fighting, succeeded in breaking the centre and iain ing possession of the ridge, in which the enemy , was posted. The main force WAS driven northward to ward Sherman, who opened on them, and they were forced to break and seek safety in a disordered flight down the western elope of the ridge, and across the western slope of the Obiosmauga. We have taken not lees than. 5,000 prisoners, and perhaps 10000. Gereral Hooker will probably intercept the flying ez emy, in the vicinity of Boonville, end the region of it. .

Imlay:a made. It was moved by General Pinckney, of South Carolina, and seconded by Mr. Gorham, of Masimobusetts. Mr. Madison% recorded speech stands thus : " Twenty years will produce all the mischief tbat can be apprehended from the liberty to import slaves. So long a term will be more di.• honorable to the American character than to say nothing about it in the Constitution." P. 1427. On . General Pinckney's 'motion, Mr. Governeur Morrie was for making the clause read at once, "the importation of slaves into North Carolina, South ()moans, and Georgia shall not be prohibited, in,." On this, Colonel Mason was not against using the term "slave.," but against naming North Caro. line, South Carolina, and Georgia, lest it should give offence to the people of those States. How tender this old Nestor of the Virginia tend was of the feelings of bis• more Southern brethren. He had been very severe on the traffic, on a former oc casion—p. 1,390: "Colonel Mason. This infernal traffic originated in the avarice of British merchants. The 'British Government constantly checked the attempts of Virginia to put a stop to it. The pre sent question concerns not the importing States alone, but the whole Union. The evil of having slaves was experienced during the late war. Had slaves been treated as they might tkave been, by the enemy, they would have proved dangerous instru ments in their hands. But their folly dealt by the slaves as it did by the tones. He mentioned the dan gerous insurrections of the slaves in Greece and Sicily, and the instruction, given by Cromwell to the commissioners sent to Virginia, to arm the servant& and slaves, in case other means of obtaining its sub• mission should fail. Maryland and Virginia, he Raid, bad already prohibited the importation of slaves expressly. North Carolina had done the same in substance. All this would bein vain if - South Carolina and Georgia be at liberty to import. The Western people are already calling out for I slaves for their new lands, and will fill that country with slaves if they can be got through South Caro- Una and Georgia. Slavery discourages arts and Manufactures. The poor despise labor when per formed by slaves. They prevent the immigration of whites, who really enrich and strengthen -a country. They produce the molt pernteloug effects on manners. Every master of slaves is born 'a petty tyrant. They bring Me judgment of Heaven on a country. Asnationa etuniot be rewardedor punished in the next world, they nowt be in this. By an in evitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national eine by national calamities. He lamented that some of our Eastern brethren had from a lust of gain, embarked in this nefarious traffic. As to the States being in pomade:it of the right to import, this was the came with many other rights now to be properly given up. He held it es sential, in every point of view, that the General G6verninent should have power to prevent the in crease of elairety.” Madison thought it wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea that there could be property in men." Such Was the doctrine held and taught by the wised and best men of Virginia in 1787. In fact, it was the doctrine of the State. Alas ! how changed- I am, sir, very respectfully yours, SENEX.

The following is a letter addressed by the Solicitor of the War Department to a gentleman In this city, in reply to come inquiries for information as to the causes of the emotion in the exchange of pri soners: WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON Chile', Nov. 30, 1863. DEAR But : Your letter of the 17th has been re ceived, in which you inquire whether any documents are now wearable, or will be likely soon to be pub. limbed by our Government, relating to the exchange of prisoners of war ; and you justly remark that the subject excites a deep interest In consequence of the mutterings of our men in Richmond. The correspondence published in the Richmond pa pers does not, it is thought, present the matter la its true light. In a few days the entire correspondence will be made public here by authority. There are several serious difficulties in the way of continuing an exchange of prisoners: One is the bad faith of the enemy in putting into active service many thousands of paroled prisoners, captured at Vicksburg and elsewhere, without re leasing any of our soldiers held by them. But an other difficulty of still graver importance le the per emptory refused by the enemy to change colored sol diers and their white officers upon a ex ny terms whatever. It is well known that they have threatened to sell colored captured soldiers into slavery, and to hang their white officers. The 'Government demands that all officers and soldiers should be fairly exchanged, otherwise no more prisoners of war will be given up. The faith of the Government is pledged to these officers and troops that they shall be protected, and it cannot, and will not, abandon to the savage cruelty of slave masters a single officer or soldier who has been called on to defend the flag of his country and thus exposed to the hazards of war. It bap been - sugsested that exchanges might go on until all except the colored troops and their white officers have been given up. But, if this were al lowed, the rebels would not only be relieved of the burden of maintaining our troops, but they would get back their own men, retaining their power over the way persons whom we are solemnly bound to rescue, and upon whom they could then, without fear of retaliation, carry into execution the inhuman cruelties they have so bud; threatened. The President has ordered that the stern law of retaliation shall without hesitation be enforced, to avenge the death of the first Union soldier, of what• ever color, whom the enemy shall in cold blood de stroy, or sell into slavery. All other questions be tween us may be postponed for future settlement, but the fair exchange of colored soldiers and of their white officers will be insisted on by the Govern ment before another rebel soldier or officer will be exchanged. The anfibrings of our men in Richmond are the subject of deep regret and sympathy here, and there has been no want of ellbrt to afford all possible re lief. 'Very truly yours, WILLIAM WHITING. What is Philadelphia Doing t To the Edito2:cif Tfea - Prees: Sue Although I have exhausted every means at my command, both in the way of unlimited adver timing and strenuous personal efforts towards ea curing volunteers for the service, and notwithstand ing I have offbred every inducement of advanced pay and increased bounties which the Government has authorized me to do, yet recruits come in slowly ; will be impossible, at the present rate, to 11.11 the city's quota by the bth of January. The rea son•L plain and patent. Our sister States, in a commendable rivalry, are using extraordinary methods for fining their quotas before the alleged time. The city and county of Camden are openly is our midst offering $270 cash, in addition to the' Govern meet bounties, and 'their volunteers receive also ex tra pay. Inldaaaschusetto volunteers receive 41325 cash, additional, and 1120 per month extra pay. In consequence of this our community is being Waal ly drained of the material for the willing soldier, while the high prices paid to all kinds of employ ment, prevents the enlistment of the balance. New York has relied vast sums, and is still calling on her wealthy citizens for additional aid In securing their quota. Nothing now but an inevitable draft awaits our citizens unless immediate action be taken, both by corporate bodies and by individual.. Shell the noble Old Keystone State, which has so gloriously earned a celebrity for Patriotism, now quietly sub mit to a draft when proper effort at once can relieve her? We earnestly trust not, and the Government wants men and not money to put this rebellion down." This comes home to no; if we value our country. A week or so ago it appeared that City Councils were going to take action in the matter, and many men who prefer to go into Pennsylvania regiments are anxiously awaiting their determination before en listing in other States. In view, then, of the competition of other Staten, the large remuneration given to:labor, and the daily draining of our volunteer material, nothing can awe us from a draft and the payment of exorbitant prices for substitutes, but immediate action. And if pro. per steps are taken we feel certain that if the full quota I. raised it will undoubtedlyend the fast-dying rebellion, and avoid all future draft. I am receiving letters from various parte of our State daily, asking what inducements Philadelphia is offering to men to enlist. I hope slloa to be able to reply to all such communications in a manner that will induce the writers to pay us a professional visit before January nth, 1864. Very respectfully, yours, CRAS, N.

We would advise all who want Cur tabus or Drapery, of any description, gotten up in the best style of the art, to call on this firm when making purchases. THE SEASON FOR BIWrNG BLANKETS. The general advance is the prices of an kinds of merchandise, and the fad that Blankets in cold wea ther are articles of necessity, render any inform non as to where they can be bought for the lead money a matter of public interest; and it is for this reason that we would direct attention to the erect Blanket Emporium of Meads. Clowperthwait & northwest corner of Eighth and Market streets. These gentlemen have long enjoyed the reputation of retailing dry good. a little cheaper than any other firm in town, but their recent exploits in the Blanket line have taken the trade by eurpriae, and the people's cash by dorm. They have, in the first place, the most ,extensive, and In all respect, the best stook Of Blankets in Philadelphia, and in the second place, they are positively selling them at least a profit lower than the same goods can be bought at elsewhere, They have a large and com modious apartment expressly set apart for this branch of their 'business, where the beet light, and every other facility is afforded customers to meted what they wish.
