THE NATIONAL FAST „OAP.
In compliance with the proclamation of the
Preddent of the 'United States,'alypointing
Thursday, September 26th, as a day of humilia
tion, fasting and prayer, there will be no TemP
oitspn issued, either in the afternoon of to
morrow, nor will the usual morning edition
appear on Friday. This is done in order to af
ford the employees of the establishment the op
portunity of joining with their fellow-citizens
in rendering a proper respect for the occasion,
and reverence for Him to whose worship it is to
be dedicated.
TIIE PLITLADELImiA INQUIRna -Seeing to be
owned tied commanded entirely and absolutely
by the monopolists who direct the Carnden and
Amboy Railroad imposition. In order to win
the favor of their masters, the Harding; leave
no opportunity pass to attack the North
ern Central Railroad, simply because it is
owned in part by the fat mere and capitalists of
the interior of this state, and because its Board
of Directors send no grist to lei ground in the
Inquirer mill. To show its want of 'candor, the
Inquirer uses the Northern Central road, also,
to attack the' Secretary of War, becanse he.
owns a portion of its stock, while it We to the
meanness and cowardice of the Harding;
when they attempt to hold General Cameron
responsible for all the accidents oa this road, be=
cause he is one of its stockholders. The In
quirer fergetethat this road has suffered severe
ly flora the vandalism of the Maryland rebels,
and therefore, according to its own assertion,
if Gen. ;pameron is so large a stock holder; he
has also, materially suffered- but of this ;fact
thck.4nelarer is mute, simply because its publi
cation would not benefit the interests of its;
masters, the stock-holders of the Camden and.
Amboy Railroad.
We have no excuse.to offer for, what was the
carelessness of an employee of the Northern
Central Railroad. ,That the President of the
road eau dispose of, while the company
will endeavor Ito meet all' their responsibil
ities with a promptness and in a in manner
at least not peculiar with the Hardings. , The
secrtt of their assaults on the Secretary of War
is capable of many explanations, and the ex
cuse they make of using the carelessness, of an
employee in a corporation in which he happens
to be 'a stockholder, to malign and traduce his
fair fanie','is too shallow even for the shaliow
pated breed of Hardings. It is alike ungenerous
anditncrateful for the Inquirer thus to assail the.
Secretary of War, particularly after the fact of
one of their, own kin having secured an ap
pointment et WaSitingtort, - who, whei he dis
covered that he would.be required to earn his
money with at least' prinnpttieas at litipost, de
dined the position, AU-this explains the spleen
of, the Hardings. They drat attack the Nerthern
Central toad to discharge their obligation to the.
Camden and Amboy road—and they next assail
the,S,ecretary of War to gratify their revenge
for disappointment in drawing money from, the
treasury without rendering service in return.:
This is the wheel within the wheel of the In
quirer's imliguation at an accident on the North- •

.11DMILLITION AND PRAYER
By the:Proclamation of the President of the
United Stites, hi-morrow, Thursday, September
la! has ieen appointed a day of Humiliation and
Prayer. It is the first time in our national exis
tence that a similar occasion has been designa
ted, and we believe also the first time in the his
tory of any nation, that the rulers thereof have
designated a time for special humiliation and
prayer on account of the admitted sins, both of
omission and commission of the people.—
Because such appointment for prayer was not
made, is no reason that the nations of the world
have not deserved humiliation or needed prayer.
The best of these are degraded in the estimation
of the God of nations, and the mightiest
l and purest that now boast the dispensation of
; benefits and the possession of power, are but
the realizalion of man's weakness and cor
ruption, with his proneness to wander from
iwhat is fair and exalted. Our 'own history
'illustrates the truth of this—our development
and progrese have not been achieved without
wrong, and thus far, though young in dont-
Ipariison - with the governments with which we
t are on terms of amity and peace, justice has
,more than once been trampled into the dust as
'we have pursued our career, and the rights of
t humanity made a mockery in our arrogant
majesty and might. No nation that ever existed
has in so short a time £ls our own, gained a
similar reputation - for i'espeetability, force and
power. No other government, until the pre
sentisadiinterruption of its , harmony, has been
so coilliletely successful as:our own, enforcing
its laws, as it has, without serious opposition,
andcarrying on its administrations with no ex
pense or burden to the people. Opr institu
tions made us, as it were, one great family in
which the wants of every' individual member
were regarded. as the.f.coinmon wants of all,
while the rights of the humblest man in this
brotherhood of citizenship, invoked the vindica
tion and defence of the government, as prompt
ly, as did its. own , rights pr its own interests.
And yet welrere flu; from being a_, perfect peo
ple. While we thus jealously watched the in
terests of our race, the proud Anglo-Saxon, we
Were exterminating one and preparing for the
degradation and brutalizing of another.. The
history, of our national legislation in this re
spect, will some day, form a page in the annals
of the universe. as dark as that which records
the fate of the Moors, and which has so com
pletely blasted the reputation and the .power of
the once proud Castilian rulers of haughty
Spain; and, like.them, trembling on the verge of
ruin or lingering on the brink of the grave,
become the obje.ot of the derision and the mock
ery, of the •world. Nations must suffer for their
Sins as individuals suffer for their excesses.--
Oorruption will show, itttejf on the body politic
as licentiousness and debauchery are exhibited

its observance to our readers, not forgetting.that

merely to set themselves up, but to drag others
down. We fight for exactly the same princi

with which thiliatriots of the Revolution rallied
around Washington, and went through a war
that will shine forever on the page of recorded
time. All our own hopes, all the , hopes
of men who, love , constitutional , liberties

from the St. Louis Ethenocrat.]
The following is a diagram of the position of
the city of Lexington, Mo., which was surrend
ered to an overpowering rebel force, under Ster
ling Price. on Friday, the 20th inst., by Col.
Mulligan :
New

?Fortifications.;
Lexington.
The boats, as shown above, were old ferry
heats, and were seized by the rebels.
The general direction of the Missopri river
'at the city of Ipgton is from west to east,
as is marked, the city lying on the south bank.
Old Lexington is the early settlement, situated
back on the hill. It ; has been superseded by
Neve,texington, farther up the river, where the
'
steamboat landing now. is. New Lexington is
the main, city. 'There are scattering houses
along the bluff between , the two, and both are
now united under the namepf _Lexington.
Colonel Mulligan's fottific4ious were between
the two locations, consisting of heavy ,earth
works, ten feet in height, with a ditch of eight
feet in width. ~These; fortifications surrounded
a college building, which was.. used as quarters
for the Uniou soldiers, and, had been strength
ened to'resist an,artilleryattack. The lints of
the fortikationawre extensive and were capa
ble of contain_ g. a ' force a( 10,000. man.
The main body of the army of General Price
was located at Old Lexington, from which point
the attack was made, though the fort was as
sailed on all sides. The occ u pants of the fort
had a;skirmish on Thursday of last weak with
a party of rebels, not, however, under. Price at
that time, who sheltered themselves behind the
hauses in old Lexington. To , deprive them of
this advantage, the uld town was afterwards
shelled and burnt, by order , of Colonel Milligan.
New Lexington, or Lexington proper, was n
possiesion of the rebels, but the city was not the
theatre of conflict. Colonel Mulligan could.
easily have shelled and destroyed it, but tins,
of course, he would not do.. .
