rnF.SBTTERTAN CITCHCn AT SUK11CRT,
NOVEMBER 24th, 1804.
Some trti.il in chariots, and some in horses, but we
will remember the name of the Lord our God.
Psalm 207.
In arcoriianco with the ivrockmntion of our
Chief Magistrate, and with the laudable and
time-honored custom of our country, we nre
met to celebrate the day as one of thanks
giving and prayer.
Not as partisans of any political sect are
We assembled, nor as seeming to favor or
disfavor any political policy ot the past, pre
sent or future, but as Christians and loyal
citizens of nil pnrties.
As Christians we are met to thank God
for the gathered fruits of the earth ; for the
continuance of henlth ; for the prosperity
of industry ; for the preservation of order
and tranquility throughout our borders, anu
for, the manifold blcsaiugs God has heaped
upon us unworthy.
As loynl citizens of the Federal Govern
ment of the United States, we are met to
give thanks for the victories God basevouch
snfed us over armed traitors, and. moreover,
humbly to beseech Him to renew and in
crease His merciful favor toward Us, during
the year to come, so that Hebeilion being
overthrown, pence may bo restored to our
distracted country.
Such are the terms of the instrument put
forth bv the Governor of our State : and it
is to be hoped, ami presumed, 1 lint as lnw-
I nbitlinsl. patriotic, und (.'hrUtiHn people,
! your prayers mul thanksgiving will ascend
lurorillilnly.
, I shall not not detain yoti with nliy nt
: tempted display of oratory nnd patriotism,
: with a scrap of erip!ttfe tno;ueil to iu as an
eciise ; nor pliall I be able to entertain you
' wit!t nny highly litiisheil and elaborate pro
duction on some curious subject, as is not
; itiil'ieipiently the order j but shall invite
your attention to the obvious teaching ot
, our text adapted ai fir as possible for the
occasion : 1'su.m '-1'. 7 : "Some trust in
j chariot-), anil some in horses, but xre will re
' inctiiber the name of the Lord our God."'
! The ui- of horses hikI chariots in war, so
j common in early ages, and still more com
l inon 4m,r. in the shape of cavalry, was pro
! hibiti d to tlie Isiai-litc. It was a statute.
peculiar. I think, to the Mosaic Law; but
by no means, an arbitrary dictum of their
Law Vx'w it-Mosc.-'. It was. founded on the
nature of their national policy.
.I'kack was one the fundanientni princi
ples of their slate, w hich was repugnant to
a thirst for cottriu'-st, for every man 'w as a
landholder : ami li.uht and darkness are not
more opposed to ccii other, than war and
huslmrul, !!. t'on-i ipiently. we find no other
army n 1 1 1 ; them ilian the citizens thctn
selvcs, who held t!n ir land on the condition
f .military hit ice when renuircd. Hence,
cuvidfY on.li hariots wt re lirohibited, as thev
nre not only, the rrw f Wnr, but also pro
ductive Til' the passion to. wv-. . With their
wild liiM-seuien sweeping along like n l--:.
cane, and tln-ir iron, scj the-urmed chaTiots,
rushing tit full spi ed among the ternhed
ranks of the tnctny, the savage commanders
of the dav cartied on their warfare.
On these thev were want to trust, ns the
sacred history bears ample testimony, and
were as often defeated, when opposed to
that grander faith "on the name tit the Lord
our God."
When down trodden Israel unorgnnizen
and helpless, came out from Egypt, pursued
by 1'uariob with tus mm cnoscn cnunois,
at'.d all the hoi-senu-n and chariots of the
land, Israel thought they had come out to
die.
But the exalted trust of thetr leader on
the name of the Great "I am," cued out
"stand still and see the salvation of the
Lord." By tho breath of heaven, the sea
was divided, ami Israel crossed ; but the
j- , rvntmn tUll(i p,rioh and his host
i c.-. - . ,

in chariots, and some in horses, but we will
remember the name of the Lord our God."
Annie: Long subsequent to tlr.s, when
tho Prophet Bamuel gathers the people at
Mizpcil to repent of their sins, and endta
vor to break rhilistiu's fetters that had
shocked them for them 20 years ; they are
suddenly confronted by the harnessed armies
of their toes, lsut wlnlo tlie nalt-armeii,
half-clothed, and perhaps, half-starved
multitude cower m their terier. the t'ro

neither hire nor state hidden from his

Irast es God as a ni'.ian not-lest
than as individunU, is tho secret of success.
Individuals mako up tho nation ; nnd ns aro
their principles and actions, will bo the na
tion's morality and deeds.
A nation is not n person has no soul to
be responsible before God. It is the indi
vidual members of it, who have souls, arc
responsible, and give it character.
As aro the people, therefore, will be tho
nation. If the individual's faith secures his
success, the people's faith will obviously se
cure their success.
But Is it not a fact, ns undeniable as it is
sad, that our national faith has not been or
thodox. I do not sny, that other nations
are better. All nations nre wicked. But it
does not alter the fact that we have trusted
in chariots and horses, more than in the
name of the Lord. The few acts of national
piety put forth in public fasts and thanks
givitiL's will not atone for deep corruption
and general indifference.
fetich appointments, however, good m
themselves, can have little influence for
good, when not observed by the powers that
issue them ; or, if counter-balanced by blas
phemy and drunkenness on the part of our
generals and governors; or, if despised anc'.
sneered nt by the bulk of tho people, who
believe that God favors the heaviest artill
ery. To this spirit of infidelity, nnd Intense
capnality of mind, that pervades all classes,
many, it not all our evils may hu attributed.
Hence, it is no more true, as one uartv
oflirms, that tho war has been a complete suc
cess; than ns the vticr avers, that it has been
u complete failure '
Our twenty-six millions of people, our
exhaustless means, our grand preparations,
and gigantic armies, havo promised far
more than they have accomplished.
Much, indeed, has, been done, but little
tor the force employed and the blood and
treasure expended.
1 here lias been humiliation to us in our
struggle. What appeared but a summers
pic-nia for a few thousand volunteers, has
drawn itself out to three years of bloody
carnage: aud has employed a constant force
of half a million of men, raised, and sus
tained by the steru and unpopular crnscrip-tion-
Llid our enemies compare us to the Per
sians, wjth their invading millions, repulsed
by a tithe of their numbers; or to the As
syrians, and Piilistines defeated by a hand
ful of Hebrews, the parallel in conduct,
would at least hold good. Tiny trusted iu
their horses, and charoits, nnd so have tee:
and if our fate has not been as disastrous as
theirs, it is not but that we have deserved
it.
The good general, the heavy nrmnment,
the strong force, the convenient base of sup
plies, the horses nnd chariots in fact, have
been tho ground of our hopes.
The highest sentiment, perhaps, that has
ever animated the nation and whispered of
success, was that of abstract ri'jht. Never
has it risen to the sublime altitude of the
Psalmist faith trust on God.
Hut the comparison to Zeixcs, and- Sen
nacherib is not t rue.
We have been long held at bay and per
haps by an inferior force, but not defeated.
o liar. not. been wholly successful, thus
lar, but we have not failed.
We have had cause to mourn, so have we
had to rejoice : lout much to dejdore, but
gained iauv.i to give thanks.
Taken unawares nt the beginning, we
have but lately lenrnt the art of war; but
lately discovered what wo had to do, and
how we must tlo it. Now we have able
commanders, efficient forces, nnd complete
organizations. Our armies are in the very
heart of the confederacy, our navies are w al
ling iu the gulf ol' .Mexico, and the athtntic
coast with grim iron monitors, while our
light draught gun-boats clear the rivers, and
our swift steemers sweep the seas; protect
ing our own and destroying the enemy's
commerce.
And not tocatnlogue minor successes the
tearing up of the enemy's railroads and
means of communication, the destruction
of factories, war material and sources of sup
ply, cavalry raids which for brilliancy and
success have never been equalled, and tho
imprisonment of the grand army of the con
federacy around the walls of Richmond and
Petersburg much rebel territory has been
reclaimed, many sections have already return
ed to their allegiauce, and w hole dates are
waiting to ctipitulatc, or return uncondition
ally, and aro only deterred by that iron
despotism that rules the outh.
Substantial victories have crowned every
arm of the service.
The last few months, have added the fall
ot Atlanta, the capture of tho Mobile forts,
the splendid exploits of Sheridun, in the
valley, nnd the capture of Plymouth N. C.
The Pirate Alabama was sunk while boast
ing in the presence of her aiders and abettors
olf Cherbourg. Tho Florida her mate in
piracy nnd iutamy is now a captive in our
hands ! and the Albemarle the monster iron
rum, and uaval hope of the confederacy
now lies beneath the vatert of Plymouth
Harbor.
The feeble naru of the South is either
driven inland among the mud und recda of
inaccessible rivers, or lyiug, tor protection,
beneath the guns of some harbor fort, while
our oicn, invincible armadas are blockading
all their ports, and by their oft nnd valuable
captures, are defraying much of their cost
aud expense, and enriching their sailors
and marines. '
lu addition to this, by reason of the ae
eumulated wealth of the nation, by reason of
the prorit of trade which exceed our ex
penditures; am! of the increased efficiency of
industry, through improvement aud skillful
management, our resources are immense,
while those of the South are rapidly failing.
The whole North has . become a self-(p-plying
aud self sustaining work-shop, produ
cing everything we need, in abundance,
while tbe South, through the baleful in
fluence of slavery the nightmare of tbe
South is dependent on foreign nations, for
many of her most necessary articles ot con
sumption. Our c: edit both at homo and abroad, is
good, and still improving; as tho late offer
by the Hamburg bankers, of a thousand
millions of dollars at a low rate, demonstrate:
while theirs is marking a constant decline.
.King Cotton has decended from his throne.
The price of gold,-with us, though in
flated by the operations of unprincipled spe
culators, fluctuates between two and three
dollais, while below the liue of freedom it is
twenty-eight.
While our vast revenues, from taxes, tolls
and customs, combined with the mineral
riches of tbe earth, aud the industrial wealth
of tho nation, insure the payment, both
principal and Interest of our natrtmal debt
to tbe uttermostrfarthing, tho financiers of
tne soutn are at tnis moment, reconimnnuing
repudiation and threatening a tax nt a buu
dred per cent. And our BJtional debt, with
woven torn would inrbtea us, is a mcio
bug-bear. Tho t.w which both it nnd the
Mr now impose, are has than those ol Eng
land nnd other prosperous nutious in lime of
potce. .
Aud ns to our debt beinir the cntise nfnnr
ruinand dissolution, it is the strongest bond
ui uui preservation, i ne debt is not owed
to foreign nations, but to ourselrm. Its
ucavy interest is paid to our orn citizens,
and goos for the enriching and benefiting ol
tho country.
And tho fact that the government is
acuior to our citizens, w ill rally tnem around
it to support it. For in so doing they nre
advanciug their oicn interests thev are
supporting their families they are securing
nie property tney ui realty possess nnd nd
ding to their wealth and security.
Our crops aud fruits the products of
ninny uusuanury nave been uuundanl in
quantity, and excellent iu quality.
Our trade und commerce havo been un
usually active: the advance of art and inven
tion hns been very marked : The cause of
education and learning has suffered but little,
while the spirit of benevolence and philan
thropy has breathed upon our wholo peo
ple. The land itself tilled by free and willing
labor is fertile and cultivated as a garden,
while Southern soil lies a waste and ruined
wilderness, saturated with human blood,
aud peopled by a beggard population of
women nnd children. And lastly, our armies
are composed of men in their primo and vi
gor, while theirs "rob the cradle and the
grate" to sustain them : and now in the con
vulsive effort of a desperate cause, their
Secretary of war, recommends the abolition
of all class and ngo in the conscription, ond
tho terrible alternative the arming of their
uegro slutvs.
Prom a dispassionate view therefore, of
the whole subject, we believe that our pros
pects are bright while tho enemy's aro go
ing out in darkness. We believe that the
forces of the Union aro winding their iron
coils around the throat of the Hebellion
with resistless power, and that already the
pressure is so itreat, that tho very life is
oozing from the fanged jaws of the monster.
And is it not an event devoutly to bo de
sired and prayed for by all parties ? by every
man in tue JNortU this day, whatever bo Ins
views ?
What good can rebellion and its success
dovs? Is net the nations, life our bread
and butter our safety and sustinence ! Is
not the success of the North, the only condi
tion of peace, and tho only hope for cither
North or South ?
Our success Is only a matter of time, nnd
we may ns well hasten it. Tho waves of
civilization nnd conquest have always flow
ed from the North, nnd so must they now.
Not because of the precedents of history,
but becausfc we nro lighting for the right,
tor free government, and the dignity of lalor:
and because too, where two opponeuts nre
equally determined, the stronger and more
enduring must prevail. The true patriot,
and lover of his fellow men, then, is lie who
discerning the signs of tho times, nids and
hastens this inevitable result, which alone
can bring peace and happiness to nsall.
But the end is not yet. There is much
yet to be done much to suffer and hsc, and
uiuoli to (din, 'There are large armies yet
to defeat, pern Bpo to. annihilate: Millious
of exasperated people to bo reconciled to
reconstruction i waste lands to bo re-cultivated,
cities to be re-populated, dwellings
to be re built, and public confidence to be
restoted.
There will be multitudes of widows and
orphans, aud cripples to bo provided for;
disbanded armies spoiled for quiet industry,
aud ripe for wild iidveuture, to bo redomes
ticntcd. There is, perhaps, a new national
constitution to be framed, and above nil, the
great question of tho day to be settled the
subject of "human sluvery" that shall de
termine tho exact status ot tlie colored
race: whether they be persons or chattels,
men or things.
The war w not ended. There remains
much to be done by both the sword und the
pen, by the hand and the head, .by general
ship and statesmanship, e're peaceful plen
ty prevail. When the war of steel and bul
lets, is ended, that of wit and party may be
gin. It may be but a trauMcr to another
scene of operations. From the field to the
congress, irom the headquarters to tlie cabi
net. And who is sufficient for these things ?
w ho shall lead us to ccrtaiu victory ? who
shall extract the poison from sectional nnd
party enmity ? who shall give us equitable
laws that shall be binding on all ? and who
shall repair, and steer the shattered ship of
state f
It is here, nt the limit of human ability
that the divine element cnnies in. There H
no prospect so bright but God can darken ;
no success so great but lie can turn to a re
verse. Tho shin may weather the tempest of the
ocean, and be wrecked at tue entrance ol
her harbor. The sokiier may escape the
storm of death in a hundred battles, and
die by an accident, within eight of home.
And so our present exaltation, may be but
the precursor, and harbinger of our degrada
tion. Our eminence may bo so lofty, that
our fall, may be so deep.
To Jehovah a nation is a little thing. He
can protect it in the hollow of bis hind, or
whilt it away by bis brentu. "All tlie In
habitants of the earth jire reputed s no
thing, aiid he docth according to Lis will
in the army of Heaven, and amor.g tbe in
habitants of the earth, and none cau stay
his hand, or say unto him, what doest
thou ?"
For nationul corruption, no doubt, has
tho scourge been applied. For continued
impenitence, has it beeu continued ; and fur
our blind self-confidence, our destruction
may be imminent.
What then, is the pressing duty of the
hour, if it be not tho subduing of these cor
ruptions, which aro knaxing ut the vitals
of the uation : and the forsaking of thU im

And above all, whilo our thankful hearts,

While wo "let slip the dogs of war," and

our success will be certain, however, hopo

AGRICULTURAL.
How n Wrass Oojt wa miide.
The etijicestion in the following ' slate.
w 0
nieut is of importance to the farmer. In
many localities saw-dust is to be obtained in
any quantity, frequently for the hauling.
All practical facts aro of advantage. They
give results arrived at by means that can bo
commanded by farmers in general. If tho
experiments fail, it is well that all should
know it. If they succeed, it is equally well
that the knowledgo of it should bo as w ido
spread as possible.
Mr. H. Lewis stated nt a Into meeting of
the Little Foils Farmers' Club, N. Y., thnt
on 23 acres he cuts grass enough to feed
fifty head oi caltlo. This is tho result of un
derdrawing and top-dressing, with saw-dust
used to absorb tho excrements1 of his stock.
He regards tho liquids as more valuable than
tho solids. The conclusion had been arrived
ot by experiments. Stakes had been set in
postures and meadows to note the effects of
liquid nnd solid manures, and the growth
of grass is i n favor of liquid manures. Somo
few years since ho commenced using saw
dust for the absorption of liquid manures,
aud spreading the compost on his grass
lands, the solid responding in a remarkable
manner. Latterly ho had used tho dust at
the rate of sixty bushels per week. Tho
manure is hauled upon the land and spread
out as evenly as possible with a shovel or
fork ; it is then brushed and completely bro
ken up and distributed. This division and
fineness of the manure is regarded as of pe
culiar advautagc, since tho plants readily
appropriate their food, aud it readies a
greater number. About half of the meadow
is underdrained with horse shoe tile, tho
drains being sunk 8$ feet deep. On this
portion ol tho meadow grows- tho lurgest
grass.
Ktoriiiff Itoot Crops for Winter.
The following is from tho Massachuscttg
Ploteman, which says that "Mr. M.'s theory
is not in accordance with tho practice which
prevails w it'u us." We do not care about
Mr. M.'s theory but his practice tho result,
of his experience surely accords with the
practice in Pennsylvania. Does it not so,
farmers ?
Mr. Mechi, the great English farmer,
whose root crops,are tho most extensive of
any in the world, gives us tho result of his
experiments in preserving them through tho
winter, that they should bo housed us soon
as dug, and without exposure to the atmos
phere. He gives as a reason, that the mois
ture upon the surface encourages the de
velopment of small fibrous roots which
stimulates the vitality of the root and pre
serves it from decay.
Mr. Mechi'8 theory is not in accordanco
with the practice which prevails with us,
but ho is a keen observer, and ought to
kuow.

Buckwheat Cakes. Mr. Freak, In
your paper sometime ago, I saw Mrs. Gage's
manner of making buckwheat cukes, and
was greatly ustuuished at oue item therein,
viz: "If you do not want to return to soda,
put no milk in them" Now, we make as
excellent buckwheat cakes as can possibly
bo round, (if I do say it myself.) They aro
scarcely sour or heavv once during the win
ter, und their rich brown tint, us they aro
brought to the table ''sweet us a nut" and
"light us a feather," makes one's mouth fuir
ly water. We make them thus, much a
Mrs. Gage sloes, with tho exception of milk.
For our family a ratner large one wo
take about two quarts of water und one pint
of milk, mining iu the buckwheat meal, and
about half a pint of browu flour, (tho "mid
dlings" of wheat.) This we think make
them much better than all buckwheat.
Stir in two tablespooufulls of salt, two largo
tablespooul'ulls of good hop yeast, beat well
nnd w hen of tho desired thickness, cover
and set tho batter in a warm place, if in cold
weather, lo rise, ond by breakfast time next
morning they will be up to the top of tho
kettle we use a tin kettle. We leave from
a pint to a quart of the batter in tho kettle
utter each baking, to raise tho next one it
not being necessary to make them with
fresh yeast more than two or three times
during the winter. To this baiter we pour
the water, milk and meal as before, for tho
next batch. When wo tlo not wish them,
for tea, we pour cold water over tbj batter re
maining in the kettle, and set it away in a
cool place, to keep it from becoming sour,
aud pour tho water off when we wish to .
mix them again. Too much milk would
have a tendency to sour them, and also
makes them more difficult to bake; but
used in moderate quantities, it. is a great
improvement to them, both in taste and ap
pearance, e.
Cons Brbad. One quart of corn meal,
one piut of wheat flour, two eggs, and a
little salt, with sour buttermilk suihcicnt to
make a stiff batter. Mix thoroughly, and
then add one teaspoonfull of soda, dissolv
ed in a very little hot water. Stir this in
aud pour into well greased pans, sufficient
to bo one and a half inches thick when cook
ed. Place io a hot oven, and bake until done,,
say half an hour. Carry to the table hiit.
If till should not be used, bake- over again,
and it is about as good as wheu first baked.
Half a pint of flour and ono egg will bo
very good, but not quite as good as the
above.
The sourer the buttermilk the better, if it
is not bitter. Success depend very much,
ou the due proportion of asid and-alkali.
Fine meal inuke. invjcU better bread than
coarse. If it does, not keep as well, provide
less at one time. Dent, or gourd seed corn
makes better meal than flint coru.
