Thanksgiving The President of the
United States has set apart the last Thurs
day in November, as a day of thanksgiving
and praise to Almighty God for the prolon
gation of our national Jife through another
year, for the unusual health which our all
iens and soldier, and sailors have been favor
ed with, and for a return of the inestimable
blessings of peace and Union and harmony
throughout the land which it has pleased
.Him to assign as a dwelling place for our
selves and our posterity throughout all gen
erations. Letter From Captain Scofleld.
A friend has se-it us the following letter,
-written by Cspt. Scofield to Dr. Ileichhold,
which we print fer the information of the
Captain's many friends in this county :

LIEUT. OAELILE'S LETTEB.
We rprint on our first page, the letter
of Lieut. Carlile, from the military Prison
at Charleston, with the accompanying ex
tracts fivim rebel papers. We would earn
estly coma end it to the attention cf our rea
ders. Let every Union ran, hand it to his
D v.nocratic friend, to read, that they may
U- convinced of the fact of McClellan's elec
tive being the last hope of the rebel leaders.
We are at a loss to see how joy candid man
can, in the face of this overwhelming evi
dence of the complicity of Northern Cop
perhead:? with Southern rebels, remain con
nected with a party whose success will be
claimed as a victory by Jeff. Dav"i3 end his
crow, a party supported and sustained by
the Richmond papers, and by tvery sympa
thiser with their cause in this and in foreign
lands. That McClellan's election would se
cure the success of the rebellion, is patent
to every unprejudiced mind. In the name
of everything sacred, do not vote for the
destruction of your country.

THE WAR NEWS.
GEN. SHE K.MAN NOT IDLE.
1 A Rebel Attack on Allatoona, and their Re
pulse by Sherman's forces.
The Rebels Defeated'at Ship's Gap.
Hood Running Before Sherman's Vic
torious Army.
A Victory by Sheridan.
HE WHIPS LONGSTREET AT CEDAR
GREEK.
50 Cannons, 10 Battle-Flags, and o
ver 1,600 Prisoners Captured.
The Rebels Completely Routed.
Gen. Sherman in a dispatch, dated Alla
toona Oct. Gth, says :. I reached the Kene-
saw Mountain Oct. 6th, just in time to wit
ness at a distance, the attack on Allatoona. I
had anticipated this attack, and had order
ed from Rome,' Gen. Cross with reinforce
ments. The attack was met and repulsed,
the enemy losing some 200 dead and more
than 1,000 wounded Wid prisoners. Our
loss was about 700 in thi aggregate. Hood
has moved rapidly back to Dallas and Va.n-
wert, and I am watching him in case he tries
tv reach Kingston or Roine. Atlanta is
perfectly secure to u.j, :xnd this army is bet
ter off than in camp. We have plenty ot
provisions at Atlanta.
Official dispatch from Gen. Sherman, Gen.
Thomas and Gen. Schofield, show that Jlood
is in retreat southward. It is several days
since the rebels relinquished the offensive and
began to consult their own safety. Indeed,
there is no positive evidence of any import
ant aggressive movement by Hood since the
deleat of on of his DiviMous at Allatoona
on the Cth inst. He has fought no battle
.inee that date, and . hi-? operativis have
been confined to assaults upon detached, ill-
defended. and unimportant posts, he being
himself steadily followed by Gen. Sherman.
The present result is that Hood has retreat
ed rapidly from Dalton to Lafayette, and now
from Lafayette southward, his rear-guard
lea ving t hat j-ljice at daylight on the 17th.
On the IGth Sherman had taken Ship's
Gan, through which the road from Dalton
to Lafayette passes in crossing Taylor's ridge,
and it is evident Hood is in no mood to
fight. His rotreat from Dalton to Lafayette,
and from Lafayette southward, is an abando
ment of the whole purpose of his desperate
cimpaign on Sherman's rear. Whether he
will get off without a battle remains uncer
tain.
Gen. Schofield, in a dispatch dated Chat
tanooga, Oct. 18th, says : '"I left Gen.
Thomas at Ship's Gap, in Taylor's Ridge.
last night. The General and army are all
right and in the best of spirits. Hood won't
fight, though offered battle frequently. His
dreadf ul repulse at Allatoona has made him
very cautious. All right at Atlanta. Rome
is all right. Hood's raid has produced uo
military result as yet."
Cedar Creek, Ta., Oct. 19 10 p. r.
Lieutenant General Grant, City Point :
I have the honor to report that my army at
Cedar Creek was attacked this morning be
fore daylight, and my left turned and driv
en in confusion. In fact, most of the line
wa driven in confusion, with a loss of twen
ty pieces of artillery. I hastened from
Winchester, where I was on my return from
Washington, and found tlie army between I
.uuid'etown and .Newton, having been driven
back four miles. There I took the affair
in hand and quickly united the corps, and
formed a compact line of battle quite in time
tr repulse an attack of the enemy, which
was done handsomely at about 1 p. m. At
3 p. in., after some changes of the cavalry
from the left to the riht flank, I attacked
with great vigor, driving and routing tlie en
emv, capturing, according to the last report,
forty-three pieces of artillery and very many
prisoners.
I do hot krlow yet the number of casual
ties or losses of the enemy. Wagon trains.am
bulances and caissons in large numbers are
in our possession. They also burned some
of their trains. General Ramseur is a pris
oner in our hands, severely and perhaps
mortally wounded.
I have to regret the loss of Gen. Bid
well killed, and Generals Wright, Grover
and liicketts wounded. Affairs at times
looked badly, but by the gallantry of our
brave officers and men, disaster has been
converted into a splendid victory. Dark
ness again intervened to shut off greater re
sults. I now occupy Strausburg. As soon
as obtained I will send you further particu
lars. P. IL Sekidan, Mai. General.
What the numbers were opposed to Sher
idan are not yet reported to the Department,
but the boldness, vigor and 'success of the
attack strongly indicate that a heavy rein
forcement had been sent front Richmond
with the expectation of fulfilling Jxmg-
street's boast, to "smash up Sheridan."
Longstreet was known to be in the valley
and had assumed command of the army,
and Confederate hopes of an overwhelming
disaster to the Union army were boastfully
expressed for several days back by rebel ad
herents in Washington and Baltimore.
E. M. Stanton.
Later. Gen. Sheridan, in a later dis
patch, dated Cedar Creek, Oct. 23d, says: j
"I pursued the routed force of the enemy
I nearly to Fort J ackson, which point he reach
! ed during the night of the 1.9th and 20th
j without an organized regiment of his army.
From the accounts of our prisoners who
have escaped and citizens,fhe rout was
complete. About 2,000 of the enemy broke
' and made their way down through the
mountains, on the kft, for ten. miles. On
the line of retreat the road and country Were
covcrcd.with small arms, thrown away by the
flying rebels, and other debris. I think that
not less than 300 wagons and ambulances
were either captured or destroyed. The ac'
cident of the morning turned to our advan
tage, as much as though the whole move
ment had been planned. The only regret I
have was the capture of from 800 to 1,000
of our men." Sheridan lost 23 cannons in
the morning, but when the enemy was rout
ed he captured 50 pieces of cannon, 43 of
which have reached headquarters, 10 battle-
flags, and over 1, GOO prisoners. This is one
of the most grand and signal victories over
the Rebels, that has been achieved during
the war.

ment may elect. They will be issued in denomi

It is a National Savings Bank, offering a high

and it cannot pay in anything bettor, for its own
assets are either government securities or in notes
