FALL AND WIN= CLOTI#DIO. - By reference
to an advertisement in another column, it will
be seen that Messrs. Shellenberger & Bro.,
have just opened a very extensive assortment
of Fall and Winter clothing at their 'mtablish•

they are not only practical, but are excellent
workmen. They devote themselves to their
business exclusively, and sell their goods cheap
and, apparently, take great pleasure in waiting
on customers.
Two IMPORTANT ORDINKNOXB. —We print , to
day, two very important city , ordinances,
,both
which are worthy of the considerattou of every
good citizen. The one relating to the nui
sance of letting loose to run at large, horses,
mules, swine, sheep or goats, is important in
all respects. This nuisance has been of long
encouragement and standing, and thereforit liaki
seemed to many like the exercise of a right
to turn loose the animals referred to, to hu4t
their feed in the streets, lanes and alleys of the
city. While one man was thus enjoying a
right, he was placing whole neighborhoods in
peril, endangering not only life, but subjecting
property to injury and destruction. This the
city fathers have wisely provided against in the
future. The people will see that the ordi
nance is enforced. j'he other ordinance re
lates to the injury of shade trees, fences and
other property. Many people imagine that
the injury of a shade tree or fence by the sinii
pis process of whittling, is of slight importance.
This character of mischief is very extensiVe-i
-and added to:other modes of injuring the samiel
description of property, has been the means qi
much loss and damage to those who are d
rions of providing for their own comfort, and
11.
at the same time contribute to the adornme 't
and beauty of the city. But the ordinance
question provides protection for such Mize.
The vandalism that heretofore destroyed wha
ever it touched, will hereafter be made reso4-
sible for its acts. Careless owners of ho e
~
swine, &c., and evil destrOyers of private lir
party will please read the ordinances 46 WU

to the change of time for running passenger
trains over the new Air Line Route to Phila

maintain its popularity with the public, and to
control an immense share of the travel to the
great commercial cities of the east.
Mona Coumalans.--We understand that
the counterfeiters were busy at work this
morning at Market, passing counterfeit $6
notes on the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank,
Philadelphia. Several countrymen were vic
timized. It seems that one would offer a note
and if objections were made to receive them,
another man would step forward, examine the
same and declare it good. These were no
doubt confederates.
RI
Emit% or ArrrBTABIT SIIIMON POLLOOK.- 1 / 2 VO
understood yesterday morning, that Assistant
Surgeon Pollock, who is charged with having
issued a large number of false exemption pa
pore, has managed to make his escape. This
fact only tends to increase the evidence of his
guilt. He can run from trial, but he cannot
escape justice, as that is bound to overtake him.
It will be seen that a list of the men who
succeeded in securing exemption, by these
frauds, has been published. These are all or
dered back to camp, to undergo an additional
examination. A refusal to comply with this
order, will subject the drafted men to the pen
alty of being treated as deserters.

A NATURAL CORIOSITY.—We 'AIWA a short
time ago a remarkable cave which was lately
opened on the farm of Adam Hocker, about one
mile east of Humnielstown. Its existence was
known for a good many years, but it was not,
opened until recently, there being a popular,
notion in the vicinity that it was haunted.
There are several large ohamb - ers from which
passages lead in different directions, some of
which have not been explored. One is said to
pass directly under - what is known as the Horse
Shoe Pike, and to be a quarter of a mile in
length. It contains a number of beautiful
stalactites pending from the roof and sides, few
persons being aware of its existence, and con
sequently they have not yet been broken off
and carried away to enrich the cabinets of
curiosity seekers.

MIN ORIGIN ON THANKSGIVING DAL—The
origin of fixing a particular occasion—of set
ting apart a day for general thanksgiving to
God, is puritanical. The Puritan pilgrims
were kconscientious, duViated, God-fearing
people. All they did, ras done in the fear of
God. Their most mhusteibusiness transac
tions had a peculiarity in this respect, so that
perhaps they were themost exacting and
rictly conformable to religious government of
any people that ever professed to honor the
name of the living God. But whence did this
custom of annual thanksgiving arise P This
question is answered by a cotemporary in con
densing the facts of history. The second sum
mer after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth, they ver vac. fa.gamteso
terrific drought Indicated the entire destruction
of their corn. Now the question was, what
shall we do? They felt that vain was the help
of man, and therefore they went to God—that
God who heard the prayer of Elias for rain.
They met together in solemn assembly to pray.
The morning gave no promise of rain. Most
of the day was cloudless and hot. But there
were men at prayer who knew the way to the
Throne of Grace. There were men who could
pray In the spirit and power of Elias. As the
shadows therefore were lengthening and the
twilightapproached, the clouds began to gather.
"The rain descended , in moderate, yet copious
showers, like the gracious influences of God."
As in the days of the prophets, so now, the
heavens gave rain and the earth brought forth
its fruit. The withering corn fields revived,
and the grateful people gathered a plentiful
harvest of full corn in the ear. The natives, it
is said, 'beheld the scene with astonishment.
They were constrained to acknowledge that thc,
God of the Christians is great and good, and a
he trer of prayer. Such a signal intefposition
of the Gracious Being upon whom they had
called in the day of their trouble, awakened in
the hearts of the colonists no ordinary emo
tions. As a marked testimonial of their de
vout gratitude, they observed a season of spe
cial thanksgiving and praise.
This, then, was doubtless the origin of the
pleasant anniversary, which, our people, and
especially the eons of New England, delight to
celebrate. May the time never come when it
shall be forgotten or shall be lightly regarded.
In this connection the following beautiful lines
by an esteemed correspondent, are very appro
priate. We trust that their perusal may afford
the read& as mach pleasure as it is gratifying
for us to give the effusion a place in our col
unms
Written fGr the Megraph.

THIII PULPIT ON I'HANINGIVING DAY. -- Froin
what we can learn, indirectly through those best
capable of knowing, the sermons of the differ
ent pastors, to-morrow, will not alone discuss the
topics usual to the pulpit, though we have no
right to announce that the discourses in con
templation will depart from what is appropriate
to the pulpit.
Rev. Cattell will preach in the O. S. Presbyte
rian church,
,corner . of Third and Pine streets,
at the usual hour. Tiie well known eloquence
of this gifted and accomplished preacher will
not &ill ki attract a large congregation on the
=Aston.,
Bev. Frank Moore will occupy the Methodist
pulpit. Few pulpit orators in this country
haVe acquired a brighter reputation for ferien
cy, lore and sincerity, than Bev. Moore. The
public attendirtg this church may confidently
expect to hear a sermon at once appropriate to
the occasion. Front what we can learn, it is
more th i n! probable .that. Rev. Moore will take
advent:Agri of the Obcttsion to'utter thosis whole
some admonitions to loyalty and patriotism so
becoming, when they emanate from the pulpit
with truth and sincerity.
Rev. Robinson will discourse from the N. S.
Presbyterian pulpit. ; The piety and patriotism
of this reverend, gentleman, added to his genius
and learning, make him rank very high among
the men who are steadily laboring for the
purity of government and the good of mankind.
We risk nothing In declaring that Rev. Robin
son hasnO superior 9reoicuintry inAhe zeal
oneness of his devotion to noble purpose of, re
ligion and patriotism.
Rev. Hay will preach from the Lutheran
pulpit. In this city no other man has labored
more steadily or earnestly ` for the achievement
of what he conscientiously deems , right. He
crooLUIS 1W kuvu gevoided 6 .0. 0 . 14 .15.411.11; tit ti 6
working .out of good for 'mankind. In thri
church and in society he is alike untiring and
zealous. Those who , visit his church to-morl
row will undoubtedly hear a discourse at once
pleasing and profitable.
The Catholic pulpit will of course be filled,
and the ueual,religious exercises be had in re
spect for the occasion, but we have not been
able to learn whether the regular priest in
charge . would officiate, or 'the pulpit be occupied
by a stranger.
...
Rev. Gans will preach in the German Reform;
ed Church. Like all _our local pastors, this
reverend gentleman heti endeared himself to the
people of Harrisburg by "his walk and con.;
versation," never shrinking from duty when
good can be accomplished, and 'making the
accomplishment of good, however humble, his
highest duty.. . ,
Rev. Leacock will conduct the services in thri
Episcopal church, and of course preach in his
own peculiarly eloquent and fervent spirit.
Rev. Gregg will occupy the pulpit of the
Ridge Avenue Methodist church. This pastor:
is doing much . good in that neighborhood, a
result at once the testimony of his zeal in relit
gious works, and the power of the truth he pre.
claims;
Bei:Shoemaker will deliver a diecouree ap

[Extract from a letter on the Battle Field.]
a•a a 0 a
This battle (Antietam) has been the moat
sanguinary of the war and the only one
fought with visible design and upon military
principles. The arrangement of our corps—
the overlooking position• of the commanding
General—the sending into action of the right
and the left division—the closing up of the
centre, and final success—excites bewildering
admiration ; and carries the mind• to the great
fields of Austerlitz and Wagram, fought by
Na oleon. Of all this have I spoken. The
heart history of such a conflict, purchased by
the life and blood of twenty thousand men,
must be found in the hospitals. War his its
lories—but it has its ten thousand demons .
in these human tortures, that make the eye
balls ache—the heart bleed—the lips palsy,
and the brain-reel. The - eight is at first posi
tively unendurable. The life-blood of some
is still trickling away in silent calmness—
while the dissevered limbs and maniac brain of
others give rise to sounds God grant I may not
again witness.
But ye mothers who here seek a son—or
wives a husband—or sisters a brother—or sons
a father—know and be consoled that even here
the hand of mercy is watchful, and better care
is bestowed upon your loved ones than might
at first seem possible. It was in the hospital
where rested the gallant Hooker, that I learn
ed the history of those mythical words so often
seen and eo little understood, "S. T.-1860—
X." Anything alleviating the sufferings and
saving the lives of our soldiers, is a national
blessing. I witnessed some astonishing results
from this article.
It is well known the effect of burnt gunpowder
and excitement is thirst, which added to the
loss of blood in the wounded, creates the ne
cessity of a reviving stimulant. In this par
ticular hospital, the physicians were allowing
their patients to drink Plantation Bitters, other
wise called S. T.-1860—X, and although the
wounded are most numerous here—this di
vision having. opened: the fight at bin the
morning—the men were mostly composed, and
there was very little fainting. The article acts
upon the • stomach and nerves in a most
incomprehensible manner, superior to brandy,
and without subsequent stupefying reaction.
It originated iu the West Indies, composed of
the celebrated Calisaya Bark, Roots, Herbs,
&c.; all preserved in St. Cram Rum—the S. T.
—lB6O—X being a secret ingredient, not yet
revealed to the public It is principally
recommended for Want of appetite, disordered
liver, intermittent fevers, stomachic difficulties,
&c. I understand it was somewhat known in
the Southern States previirm to the war, audit
appears an agent of Jefferson Davis recently
applied to the proprietors for the privilege
to make it for hospital purposes- during the
war, to which they made the fpltowing reply:
New Year', Jam 16th, 1862.

bidering it would.cost us nothing to comply,
and that otherwise we can derive no revenue

it might please us .to assuage the sufferings
of your misguided followers.

These gentleman give the history of certain
ingredients to their article for over two hun
dred years—showing that through all changes
of the medical profession and its practitioners,
strength, composure and cheerfulness have
been - aenved from these - sources.- Dr.--Woods
in the Washington Hospitals informed me that
one patient was fast sinking and crazy, and had
not slept an hour for two weeks, until the
Plantation Bitters came to his knowledge,
when one day's trial gave him a nieht't a ie r
and be was now fast, recovering. I
prised our Government has not equalled Jeffer
son Davis in energy, and adopted this invalua
ble article in all , our hospitals. The weak
soldiers cling to it like a brother. As a lay
member, I can bear witness it is "good, o
take," and affords more energy and lite than
anything I ever tried. Success to the Planta
Lion Bitters.

PENNSYLVANIA SS::
In the Name and by the Authority
OF TIM
OMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
ANDREW G. CURTIN,
GOVERNOR OF THE SAID COMEONWIR/LTE.
A PROCLAMATION
WHEECAS, It is a good thing to render thanks
unto God for all His mercy and loving kind
ness :
Therefore, I, ANDREW G. Cumin, Governor
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do re
commend that THURSDAY, THE 27th DAY OF
NOYEKB Di: NEXT, be set apart by the people
of thisCo onwealth, as a day of solemn Prayer
and Thanksgiving to the Almighty :—Giving
Him humble thanks that He has been gracious
ly pleased to protect our free institutions and
Government, and to keep us from sickness and
pestilence—and to cause the earth to bring
forth her increase, so that our garners are
choked with the harvest—and to look so favor
ably on the toil of His children, that industry
has thriven among us and labor had its reward;
and also that He has delivered us from the
hands of our enemies—and filled our officers
and men in the.field with a loyal and intrepid
spirit ' , and given them victory—and that He
has poured out upon us (albeit unworthy) other
great and manifold blessings
Beseeching Him to help and govern us in His
steadfast tear and love, and to put into our
minds good desires, so' that by His continual
help we may have a right judgment in all
things
And especially praying Him to give to Chris
tian churches grace to hate the thing which is
evil, and to utter the teachings of truth and
righteousness, declaring openly the whole
counsel of God :
And most heartily entreating. Him to bestow
upon our civil rulers, wisdom and earnestness
in council, and upon our military leaders, awl
and vigor in action, that the fires of rebellion
may be quenehed—that we, being armed with
His defence, may be preserved from all perils,
and that hereafter our people, living in peace
and quietness, may, from generation to genera
tion, reap the: abundant fruits of His mercy,
and with joy and thankfulness praise and mag
nify His holy name.
Given under my hand and the great seal of the
State, at Harrisburg, this Twentieth day of
October, in the year of our Loyd one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the
Commonwealth the eighty-seventh.
