THANKSGIVING. There waa a very fair attendant of the people of all religious deneminationa at the M. K. Church of this place on Thanksgiving morning, when an able discourse waa preached by llev. T. II. Lynch of that chuieh. A synopsis of the sermon is subjoined : Ttxl "Who am I, 0 Lord God? and and what is my houe, that thou hast brought me hitherto?" 2d Sam. vil. 18. The speaker stated (hat the text was expressive of tbo reflections of David, after the prophet Nathan had boett to him with a message of Divine goodness con. cerniog him and his posterity. In the midst of high expectation David was still aa humble as a lttlle child. Though denied the privilege of building the houso of God, he is not in distress. lie ia still overpowered wjth a sens of inflnito mer cy, lightened by a view of hi personal unworlhincse and of tho imperfection of hi nature. What were the mercies he remembered, and which excited gratitude in hia heart? 1. lie waa thankful for renewing grace in early life. When Saul enquired for a mau who could play well upon an instrument, and requested that he be brought to him, a scrvant replied that he bad seen a aon of Jesse tho llethlebemite, a mighty'

man, vuianf.ja man or war, comely, prudent, en) tht&ord uvu tc.VA Aims.. 2, He was thankful fur the sticcial rrov iJcuco of (Hod in the midst of danger and a f a exposure iroiu winch no Human power could .rescue,' turn. Here lite speaker il lustrutod, by many historical lad, tho doctrine of God's general and special prov idenre over the works of His hand, in the intellectual, tho moral, the spiritual and physical world. In the case of David ho instanced hi deliverance from the mouth of the lion and from the paw of the bear aa he fad the Hook of hia father. Second. Hi deliverance 'from the hand of Saul, whoe jealousy waa excited against him when thsj women cam foxth in the dance and in the song, proclaiming, "Saul bas slain hU thousands and David hia ten thousands." ml. . a. ne waa tuinkiui when .tie rcmem tered how Clod bowed the hearta of the people to make lute king. first, in Heb ron; second, over all Israel; third, in the perpetuity of hia throne aa covenanted in the Messiah. 4. His sense of the Divine goodness was iucreaied by a recollection of hi hum bio origin. Some men are vain and proud of their origin. . David was humble "who am I? and what ia my house? ' Let us now, said Mr. Lynch, apply these reflection to a few prominent facta in our history aa a people, and see if we have not great reason to bo glad and give thanks lo (Jod. 1. In the discover? of America bv Colutubui we read a clear manifestation of God'a providence. For nearlv four thou ssnd yesrs after tho ark rested on Mount Arrarat, and the aona of Nosh began to pcoplo the mountaina and value of Arme nia, the old world increase dto million of inhabitant, hmpirca rose and fell: king dorn followed kingdom ia quick succes sion; republic! rose, flourished, matured ana expired. During tli long year or rather centuries of Aaiatio and huropean growth and commercial prosperity, the American continent waa inhabited by only a few hundred thousand benighted sav. ages. In solitudo our rivers rolled their waters to. tho ocean; In drearlneaa our lakes spread abroad their mightj flood. Columbu and his associates would seek and find a Western passage lo the rich golden field of India, when lot a new world bursts upon the vision of the bold mario-rfcl God'a hand wasin this. How mysterious are the ways of the Most High! 2. Keligiou persecution drove the pilgrim fathers from England to Plymouth Kock; a desire for gain caused tho settlement on James Hirer. Iu these settlements in the wilderness, though far apart, we find the perm of the great American empire. Thi was of God. 3. The American Revolution had its origin, apparently, in the unjust measures of the Untish Parliament. But when we look ia upon the Congress assembled in Philadelphia in 2770, we see there, upon the venerable wull of Independence Hall, the handwriting of (iod inspiring tho hearts and miuds of the patriots of that day, when they proclaimed, as the organic law of a new empire, "Liberty through' out all the land to all tho inhabitants thereof." We read this upon tho oljbtll. ihe special providence of God to us as a people waa illustrated by the history of the formation of the Constitution of the United Statos; by the political revolu'ion of lhUl: by the defeat of the ambition and treasonable design of Aaron Uurr; by the event of the war of 1812; by the exciting questions of 18ll)-':0; by the Tariff and JS unifications discussious of 1833; and lastly by refsrsnco to the wsnderful events of tho laut seven yeara of impressive history in our existence as a nation. In all these, God in His providuuoa was manifest. While there are many wrongs among us, over which we may well lament, and whkh call for deep humiliation before God, there is nevertheless; abundant teason in the goodnesa of God for us to exclaim with thanksgiving and praise, "The eternal God is our refuge, and underneath aro the everlasting arms."

Miami University, Considerable improvements tare beca completed, and othera are contemplated, ia connection with the Miami University at Oxford. We are alwsya glad to hear of the prospertiy of nur "Alma Mater." A. correspondent of the Gazette Bays: The "northeast" and the "southeast" buildings are in perfect order. The thorough and complete improvement which both of said buildings havo under gone, make them aa comfortable, as genteel and as acceptable for the use of student as any like buildings connected with any of the" colleges Kast or West. Theso valu able improvement havo been made at a cost exceeding ten thousand dollars. , Jn addition to what haa been done up on these buildings a very much needed and valuable improvement has been made to the main buildings. An elegant, gsj vanixod iron cornice has been put up sround tho entire building, and the roof nf the same handsomely covered with alsta. Tho change in the appearance of the building is gratifying not only to visitors, but to Professors, students, and the citltens of Oxford. All srj not only delight cd with the improvement itself, but are thereby encouraged with the belief that further efforts will bo successfully made in behalf of 'OId Miami." For the completion of improvements on -7tsllCrrk' or crcc',on nf wings to the main e3iflce, and for further endowment purposei, It is understood that the Trustees aro making vigorous effort to ralso a um not less than 810,000. The trustees themselves have subscribed some 18,000 of that sum, aud the citixona of Oxford have subscribed 12,500. For the additional sum required, tho Trustaot Intend to sppeal to the liberality of the Alumni and to the other friend f sound and thorough education, This correspondent says further;The number of students in actual attendance is large, j eighty-four new students have eutered eullege during the present session.

The progress of the studeu'a in their studies, and their generally exemplary deportment, give assursnce that they are fuUbfally iu itructed aud properly cured fur.

FIARFIELD NEWS. Mr. EJitortl propose to give you a few items of news from our quiet little village. Tho citizens of our plsce have bceu aroused to thinking and talking about Ihe East Fork-Valley Ilaiiroad, and we had a meeting last Saturdsy evening to make an effort to raise our portion of the ono hundred thousand dollars required by Mr. Lord beforo he will undertake tho work, Hon. J. 11. Farquhar addressed the meeting, sod endeavored to impress upon their mind the importance of speedy action, and the great beneficial results we would receivo from having the proposed Ilaiiroad. He reforred to the convenient ciej, and the advance in value of all kinds of property, and showed conclusively thst the people of this Valley would cohanc the value of their real property five times the amounlof the donation roquirod; and if they were determined to do nothing for the road, they would in all probability nev er havo another chance of getting a Kailroad on such favorable terms, The Com mltties appointed to procure subscriptions intend making a strong effort lo raise tho money, trusting iu the "Lord" for a road.

CONGRESSIONAL It is probable that the Ways and Meaas Committee will, at an early day, report bills stopping contraction and taking away all discretiouary powers, and fixing spe cial times for Hale of gold. In Executive besaion, on Friday, the nominatuins uf Horace Grecly for Minis", ter to Austria, of Mr. Hunt for Governor uf Colorado, aod of Horace Cap ron for Coiuiuiioucr of Agriculture, were coo firmed. The Committee on Hanking and Cur rency 1 said to be opposed to reporting auy measures fur disturbing the Natioual Uauks, unless it be upon the subject of tax. The Committee will not report bill substituting grceubucka lur thtir currency, unleM instructed lo do so by the House, Sesator .Morrill, of Vermont, introduced a bill providing for the resumptiuu of specit payment by tho United States Ireaifury aud Natioual Danks, on the 4th ol July, lbb'D, which was laidou the table, and urdeied printed. Mr. Moirill said he should preaa it at an early day. Ou) Mouday Senator Cobbett, of Oregon, introduced a bill for substituting gold nolo fur legal tender note, lteprescnt at ivo 4,'iletoii presented the resolutions of the tiiicititiati city guvcramctit ou fi. baneeit.aiid the collou tax. tSeiitjiur ftficrmau'e bill fur tho Usuo of new bond with six per cent, interest, payable like the principal, in gold, and taxable to the extent ot 'ino per cent., was iutroduved iu the Huusv on Mouday by Mr. KU, of New Hampshire.

Ihe Coiuiuittco i bard at work ou other questions, and will report at sn early day ou the subject of contraction of the currency. Temperance In Politica. 4 . aa a A convention oi every excellent men. representing, or claiming to represent, the temperance aeritiment of the fcütate of Ohio, recently met in Newark, and passed resolutions declaring in plain terms that they would not-support any man who is nppoced to the prohibition of the aale of intoxicating liquor. Another body, quite as large, and representing, we believe, a greater number of the temperance men ot lb state, met a month or so airo in Layton, and resolved that tho question of temperance should not bo madoa political isue. We have bo hesitation in saying that the resolves of the Dayton body were quite as wise as thoee of tue .Newark body were unwise. Aa lo whether tho object sought to be attained bv the prohibitionists can La ma complUhed at all by law, we will not here express an tpioion, but we insist that those now endeavoring to force this issuo upon the party havo illy chosen their time. Tho results of ihe late elections in New York and Massachusetts are instructive upon that point, aud may be read with profit. The llepublican pnrty was not formed as a temperance party; it did not ot the beginning champion that cause, nor was that the purpose of its ort;aoitation. Otha a er, and to the country more important, issues called it into existence. Ita m Union was the destruction of slavery, the wrest ing of tho'Qbvvrijmcnt from the hand of a elave-aristocrafy, and the emancipation of labur. To accomplish this great and net essary work, men of all creeds aod all beliefs, differing widely upon other .que tions.butagieeing upon tins, joined hands. There were included in its ranks pro hibitionista and those opposed to prohibition; temperance men and those opposed to the temperanco movement; the religious and irreligious, Cutholio l'rotosta nts and men of no religion; and so far as the party has achieved success, it has done it by carefully excluding from its platform all issues save those upon which it was original ly based. .Should this common sense rule bo departed from, ajid the party weighed down with all the ideas of its individual members, it will certainly break down under the load. We can not afford to earry issues upon which there can be any serious difference of opinion within the ranks of tho party. We can not afford, with the ail-important work we havo to do, to)go over the field of humau depravity, and waste our time and strength in cut ting down and pulling up all the evils that kUre us in the face. With the war, and the all important qnestioua growing out of it upon our hand, with tho very existence of free government at stake, with the great question cf human rights unsettled, we caa not afford to py attention to,

or divide upon, sido issues or minor questions. A, well might the crew of a ship upon a lea shore, in a hurricane, turn their attention to the decoration of the cabin. Presently, when the great questions of the day are disposed of, parties will divide upon new issues, and thia question of prohibition may, po!bly, be one of them. When it comes, Republican I will go to the one aide or the other, a their ideas impel them, and those who agree upon the issues now in hand will stand opposed to each other. There are thousands of hon est men in our ranks who believe in prohibition; thero are thousands, of just as honest, who do not. We need both clas es now, and hall need them until the cloud now hanging over the country is dispelled, and poace beams upon us again. Therefore, we deprecate the introduction

of disturbing elements into the rsnks of the psrty, nf unnecessary complications. Toledo Illado. LETTER FROM INDIANAPOLIS. CerrsonJno of Iba Autartoan. The CrmctrryLrcturrDttchuiy Machine 6i'c.r U. S'. Court. Indianapolis, Nov. 24, 18C7. An old friend of mine urged tue to take a walk with him, although the afternoon did not have the appearance of being very pleasant for pedestrian. We took a north, west course from the city, and after a walk of some three miles in that direction on the Michigan road, we earue to what is called Crown Hill Ccmetcrr, which ia a tract of laud containing two hundred and seventy acrea purchased by the city for the interment of its citiicns and also all Indiana soldiers aod other soldieis whose names may be unknown and no friends probably to put thrm in other places.

The Ilrookville Dcmorrat threatens to turn loose the late rebel of the South on the negroes of these States, unless the latter quit voting the Union ticket. That style of settling things has ceased to work successfully. Your rebel allies down thero tried that plan, pretty thoroughly, and can tell you how they like it.

You may threaten to eat up and exteiminate Sambo, but you can't convince him that (be rebl who used to tie him up by Ihe thumbs and cut the blood out of hi back with the lash is now his kindest fi Send. .That won't work. It may be Democratic nature, but it is not human nature. It ia a favorite argument with thi clas of newspapers to opposu the negro's voting because be is ignorant. The argument is sound; but are Democrats willing to apply the ssme criterion to the white man? If it is bad policy for an ignotant negro to have a voice in making the laws is it any better for an ignorant white man to par ticlpate in' voting and legislating? It ia a sign of substantial progrea to see even Democratic papers aud politician oppose the measure simply because he i a uvgro. Well, ihe world moves, l.ven Democracy moves. We have lived to see more than wa ever expected to ae. Giving the ballot to the ignorant negroes of the South was not in consonance with tho theory of popular government, but it waa no worse than giving the same thing to ignorant aud debauched white men in the ssme Statea or in the Northern States. The idea of cslling on a man to vote is based on the supposition that his knowledge of puouo auairs is neeueu as an aiu in managing publio interests. If the man is dcatiiuta or knowleuire it is nonsense to call on him for couusel in matters of pub lio moment. Put Democratic politicians aad newapspera havo uo word of objection to offer auu ins! a drunkeu bloat from the New York l'ivo-poinis, or any other sink of in, voting, provided, only, that he votes the Democratic ticket.

It will hardly like to ask those who chuckled ov 1 Hull Iluu to vote for the leader of tie march to the sea. In hi speech at St. Louis General Sherman begins by recalling tho circumstance st thoopenitig of the war, and then enter upon a perls oi graphic and inter anting reminiscence of the great filial cam paigo. lie then proceed to some views upon the philosophy 4f the struggle. 'Surely no men," he ssjs, "ever had a more glorioua cause than we.' In bis general view of the origin of the war he follow Dr. Draper, whom he highly pri es and whose history be has evidently faithfully studied. The Utocral ahows how the supremacy of cotton wa due both to Southern fertility and Northern ingenuity; bow it became arrogant and rebelled. "Nothing oa earth could justify such a rebellion;" but wo at the North roust not forget our part in the original cause. The war has stricken us all; but it has materially desolated the Southern States; and the General, after describing the aor row and ravage of the contest, exclaim: "How any Southern gentleman, with these facts, plain and palpable every where, ataring him in the face, and recorded forever in the book of history, csn still boast of his 'Lost Cause,' or speak of it in language other than of ahame and sorrow, passes my understanding; and instcsd of being revived, I know that their lost cause will sink deeper and deeper into infamy as timo more xeuniy proue n uiuucn mysteries aud reveal them to the üuht of day." In the future, Le continues, we must understand that remedies for suffered grievances must be 6ought in courts, not upon battle fields. We mut unreservedly truHt Ihe great resourcea of the land and the law of civilization; and the orator says: ''If our friends at the South will b'.ariily and cheerfully join with us ia this future course, I, for one, would welcome tbetu back, our equals, but not our superiors, snd lend them a helping hand." General Sherman ends hi speech by speaking of the peaceful dispersion of its great army, it absorption iuto the mass of industrious citiiens, and mentions by name several of hi Generals, aod the occupations in which they are noeogig ed. It is a speech which will very greatly confirm the regard which the country has for tho Lieutenant General. It shows that he is not, as haa been alleged, demoralised by political ambition, but preserves the same intellectual anu raorai muepenucncfj which attracted the country three year ago. It is not the speech Of a Presidential candidate; and it seems tc us to show, as General Grant aud General Sheridan had already shown, that the three most famous soldiers of tho war sro still in sympathy with thoce who auktaiued them la the struggle.
