Thanksgiving and Prayer
1f ever a nation had reason to be thankful,
it is that nation which mine, of all the people
on earth, repreeent s fairly m an's capasity for self
government. True, we have passed through a
severe ordeal to attain the position of a self
governing peop?e, and just at the moment when
the problem seemed to be solving in the com
plete triumph of man as a self-governing crea
ture, the whole principlereceived a shock which
the enemies of free government seek to exhibit
as its failure. But the subterfuge of such a claim
is of course apparent, because the principle of
self-government, as illustrated by the succees
and the growth of the American people for al
most a century, is the same to-day in its purity
and power as when it wrung recognition
and respect from the aristocracies of the
old world. For this we should be thankful
to God. Only God's hand could guide a
people owning allegiance to such a prin
ciple, and only God's hand can continue to
conduct the same people to the fall realization
of the blessings of freedom. Freedom is part
of our religion, and hence it requires Divine
interposition to secure its full development. It
is not a problem which can de solved by figures.
It is not a theory which subtle minds only can
comprehend. It is an inspiration which ad
dresses itself to the bead and the heart, leading
both captive with the same mighty influence
with which Christ's religion makes conquest of
all who come within its mighty sway. For this
we should be thankful—thankful that there is a
wise Providence to straighten our paths and
lead us ever, even if it is through tribulation,
to a glorious victory. When the struggle in
which we are now engaged, ceases, the nation
will have only discovered its strength. Like
a man who has been sore beset, the nation will
only know what it is to defend itself—what
power it possesses—what resources are at its
command—and what force it can bring to befit
upon its enemies. Such knowledge is not de•
rived from the lore of men. It comes from the
action of multitudes—from the noble energy
of communities—from the purification of na
tions. For this we should be thankfulto God 1
—We trust, sincerely, that the purpose for
which to-morrow has been set apart, will be
respected by all. Now is the time to be thank
ful and to be prayerful. With man's energy
and resources fully developed—with the
nation's valor aroused to its highest inspira
tion—with resolution fixed, now is the time
when we need to turn to God, not alone with
thanks for what He has done, but with prayers
for that further aid without which we cannot
hope completely to succeed. Wrongs; such as
we are, battling against, cannot be righted alone'
by human hands. Errors such as those with I
which the nation is now confrontM, cannot be
dispelled alone by human energy. The crimi
nality by which we are antagonized, must be
overthrown by an Omnipotent aim. It is God's
cause and man's battle for and in which we
are engaged. For this we should be thankful,
because it is the faith of this that makes us sure
of victory 1
Kentucky Election.
We have already given the readers of the
Tatitaaera ample returns of the election in
Kentucky on Morday last, to indicate the tri
umphant election of the Union candidates for
Governor and Congress. This fact is corrobo
rated by the silence with which the Tory Organ
treats that election; and when the result is
fairly estimated, it assumes a significance which
it would be well for the true friends of the Union
everywhere candidly to consider. The election
in Kentucky was contested on the broadest is
sue which could possibly enter into any political
campaign. It was made a test, whether the
national government possessed the power for
its own preservation, or whether as was claimed
by James Buchanan, there was no power vested
in the hands of those called to administer this
government, to protect it from internal strife
and safely guard it from the plots of traitors.
The policy to preserve the government at all
hazards—the necessity of sacrificing every local
interest to secure the general safety and the
justice of the war for the Union, were all in
volved in the contest, and of course all en•
dorsed by the result. By that result Kentucky
declares against that corrupt combination of
modern Democracy, the aristocracy growing out
of the privilege of holding negro slaves, and
the monstrous assumption of secession, which
now shows -itself -in a bloody rebellion.—
From the very altar of slavery; Kentucky de
clares for freedom. In the face of the most
horrid front of treason, Kentucky avows her
loyalty. She is true to the traditions which
record the sufferings of her early settlers in de
fence of the Government of the Union—true to
the fame which her sons won on many a hard
fought battle field—true to the memory of
"Harry of the West," whose ashes now mingle
with her soil, and whose soul now rejoices over
the last grand victory of the sons of the sires
whom he so long and so faithfully served.—
Kentucky has spoken to the loyal men of all the
States. What will Pennsylvania answer when
her turn to speak arrives? Will it be with groans
of shame or shouts of—victory? Let our loyal
brethren of the Keystone State prepare at once
to respond with .victorY I

A New York Herald Lie
The Rate cf New York is the only Middle
State that has furuit=ht d more than its quota on
'former calls.—lltrald.
The statement which we quote above forn.s a
sentence in a long article which appeared in the
New York Eerald of yesterday. A baser lie
was never uttered by a bolder liar than 13:11-
nett. Not only did New York State and New
York city fail to send out their full quotas
under any call, but the State authorities were the
first to wink at m organized effort to resist
proceedings which looked to legal compulsory
measures to get from the State of New York,
the service which was due to the National
Government. Under the last draft, New York
acted with the most shameful laxity, resorting
to fraud in making her enrollments, and then
exempting whole districts on representations
which were at once unsupported by facts and
unfounded in reason. Out of all the regiments
which Now York furnished for the war, not a
single organisation contained more than its
maximum—while the troops thus sent were
frequently of that low grade in morale and
manhood, as to become demoralized before they
reached the scene of action, and in many in
stances, after they had gone into camp, had to
be guarded as so many thieves, pickpockets and
common outlaws.. Of course to such as these,
there are some noble exceptions in the men
sent out by New York. Some of the troops
from that State hale distinguished them
selves in many bard fought battles, but
such as these are exceptions to the general char
acter of the mtn furnished by that State, so
that their conduct may be claimed more as a
credit to the men themselves, considering
whence they came, than any honqr to the state
under whose auspices they were recruited.
—The history of this war will prove that
about the only merit New York has displayed
in all its struggles, was in furnishing rotten
ships to the navy, controlling the cotton
markets, keeping up the price of gold, and in
every little way speculating upon the necessi
ties of the nation. For these we are willing to
give her full credit ; but that she furnished
the quota of troops due from her to the Gov
ernment, in any one single instance, we de:ly,
and history will sustain the denial.
The Disaffection In North Carolina,.
The Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, of the 24th
ult., has a severe article in reply to one attack
ing it, in the Richmond Enquirer, in which the
latter said that if the Standard represented
" the opinion of its State, then the State ought
to go out of the Confederacy and make sub-.
mission on its own account." To this the edi.
tor of the Standard replica that the views of
his paper in favor of peace "are those of at
least two-thirds of the people of North Caro
lina," and by way of reply to the suggestion
that the State ought to quit the Confederacy,
goes on to say:
Suppose this State, thus invited to go out,
had not gone in, where would the Confederacy
have been to day ? Where would the cotton
States have been? Where_ would Virginia
have been? Overrun anettampled down.—
Richmond would have been long since in the
hands of the enemy, and the States south of us
would have been occupied at every point, and
their people crushed into the earth. North
Carolina troops saved Richmon I when assailed
by M.'Clellan ; they won the battle of Chancel
lorsville ; and during the recent movements on
P nns) , Piaui& they defended Richmond under
General Hill. Our people and troops have
done more for Virginia and the cotton States
than they have done for themselves. And
now, tecause they do not act in such a way as
to please the Richmond Enquirer in all respects
they are invited to take themselves out of the
Confederacy ! They will do so if.they choose,
in their own good time. They will not be hur
ried nor retarded by their enemies.
The Standard concludes its'article—which has
some significance from the apparent conscious
ness,of popular sympathy which characterizes
it—with the following remarkable language:
Does not our critic know that in the event of
being overrun and conquered by the enemy,
reconstruction would be impossible? Does he
not know that Mr. Lincoln would say': "GentL
men, you cannot reconstruct what you have
not destroyed. Indeed, yon have never been
oat of the Union. You tl3ought you.were, but
you are mistaken. Bes time your du ties as mem ;
hers of the Union on a foo log with the most
favored States?" ? We tell him that . we have
teen, and still are, deveted to the cause of inde
pendence; but, as we stated in the article on the
snbjtct of peace, we fear that the chance 3 are
against us. We did not make those chance's;
and we cannot change them. We are despond
ent, but not in despair. We tell the people the
truth, and for this we are censured. We should
feel the humiliation of a restoration of the old
Government as profoundly and as acutely as
would the editor of the Enquirer; but if the people
of this State, with subjugation or restoration
staring them in the face as alternatives, should
sadly and reluctantly accept the latter, it would
not be in our power to prevent it, even if we
would.

Rega'ations Relative to Exemptions in
Casts of Two or More Sons of Aged
or Infirm Parents.
WAR DTPAUTttENT,
PROVOST MARSHAL'S OIRICR,
Washington, D. 0 , July 27, 1863.
CIRCULAR
No 57.
THE following "opinion" in relation to that
1. part of Section 2 of the enrollment act,
which says "where there are two or more sons
of aged or infirm parents subject to draft, the
father, or if he be dead, the mother. may elect
which son shall be exempt," is published and
will hereafter govern:
"The only son of aged and infirm parents,
dependent; &c., is absolutely exempt. But
where there are two sons, both are subject to
draft until an election is made by the parent ;
and the name of the one elected should be re
moved from the list. After the draft is made
the persons drafted are no longer "subject to
draft," but to duty.- and a parent cannot secure
the practical exemption of two sons from mili
tary, duty, by wailing until one is drafted and
then electing to exempt bim.
