Indianapolis.

From Moudav wonting uutil Thursday morning of la«‘ week wv I ker«*iu Um oily of Indianapolis.— Thw cirizensof thr.t city Art fond ; of calling it the “railroad city,” the “great railr.oA‘l C‘'>M<r of the Wctt,” anti point with iqauifo^tsatisfaction their broad .street*, handsome ■ residence* and extensive mercantile houses justly attributing its prosperity and wealth to (he trade and travel brought thither over the iron highways centering and crossing there, yet, for all this, they are backward in assisting the important roads now projected and only waiting their consent to add still more to the accumulation in their vaults and safes. Indianapolis made splendid progress during the war, but, unfortunately, her people seemed to think the impetus thus received would last forever and they were not prepared for the. renotion brought about by the return of peace. The sudden change fripn noise, bustle and parade to quietude produced a shock for which they were unprepared, and they have not yet fully recovered from its effects, so that to-day about the only indication of prosperity and enterprise visible to a stranger is the interest manifested in public improvements, the latest indication of which is the action es the common council granting a charter for the establishment of water works. Like all men with the consciousness of personal weakness the people are very jealous/>f neighboringcities whose prosperity they envy. This is shown by their opposition to all projected enterprises that may be of possible advantage to other town*.—lt. wag this dread of competition (whether well founded or not) that created the opposition there to the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railroad project. Feeling as they do, that Chicago is a powerful rival, they feared the success of this enterprise would add to the prosperity of their 1 Him,is neighbor while sapping their own strength. In this way their jealousy becomes a stumbling stone over which they trip and bark their shins. One of the crying drawbacks to the prosperity of Indianapolis is its lack of accommodations for the traveller and visiting stranger. The lack of first-class hotels becomes a crying drawback through the efforts of the daily press. We do not remember that a day has dawned in the last three months without some one of the city paperspiaving something in its columns reflecting unpleasantly upon the hotels. This has a bad effect upon the growth and business of the city, as people not unfrequently pass through to other places where they fare no better, driven away by the continued complaints of the papers. Of course much of this fault finding may, and probably does, have foundation, we did not take any pains to investigate the subject and stopped at only one place—the Palmer House. We were well treated during our stay and found the proprietor Col. Jeff. R. Scott, (the Colonel earned his title in the late war and commanded an Indiana regiment) a very pleasant gentleman, attentive to his guests and moderate with his charges, while the clerk, Mr. John C. Woolrich, is entirely free from that superciliousness and lofty grandeur so commonly affected by hotel clerks and so annoying to plain people. Another crying drawback to the general prosperity of Indianapolis is to be found in her newspapers themselves. They are cried by weeping nosed urchins “from early •riaw-n-todewy evo,” Before it-is 1 fairly light in the morning one is saluted with “here’s yer inornin’ pa* pers; Juurn’i an’ Sent’nl;” changed late in the afternoon to “th’ Evenin’ Mirror; - ’ but woe to the hopes of spicy editorials, juicy locals, entertaining clippings, profound review*, fresh news item* or enterprising journalism buiit upon their high sounding titles. The Journal haw the best advantages of any paper in the State. Being at the capital, it in situated to learn everything of importance or interest that transpires in Indiana. At a great railroad center, it has early access to mails from direction*. It is the official of the party in power and receives nil |he State as well m the county and city patron nge, besides now and then getting • “fat take” from the Federal Government, tp say nothing of columns and pages of court advertising. It certainly does not lack the means, And (perhaps old John RoSsfer, of Lafayette, it right in saying the reason it is sb inferior is because

the proprietors are too penurious to employ editorial talent of ability, preferring cheap fledgelings nnd large income to first class writers and commanding position. T! e Sentinel is Ijkc unto rhe but deserving of more charity, as it is the orgnp of the “outs" and receives none of the “per«|n” enjoyed by its more fortunate neighbor.— The Mirror, poor thing ! is like an j ownerless dog, returning snarls for kicks, fawning and wagging its tail for crumbs. Every passer pats it through sympathy if he don't kick it for snooping. Au Ishmaelitc of journalism, its proprietors arc more enterprising than those who control its contemporaries, and it is tint most readable evening paper ever published in that city. Indianapolis hiis not a newspaper commensurate with its advantages and importat co. Indianapolis may lack hotels, as her papers say, but she lack first class newspapers. Iler importance as an inland city and great railroad center, her business, her dignity and her position with regard to the State, all demand an enterprising, first clas} paper, and we have a mind to go there and establish one. Some of our friends do not seem to understand our proposition in regard to the American Stock Journal We repeat that all—whether old subscribers or new ones—who shall pay. two dollars before the firstday of January, 1870, will be entitled to the Rexssei.aei: Union and the American Slock Journal one year.— The regular subscription price of the Union is two dollars and of the Journal one dollar—by paying us in advance our subscribers will receive the American Stock Journal one vear free. Of course persons who are in arrears for their subscription to theUNiox will be expected to pay up their indebtedness before they can avail themselves of this oiler.

Thanksgiving.

The good people of this happy nation should with gratitude render thanks unto God for his ordinary bounties. The past year has been one of extraordinary peace, health and plenty in the United States.— The rustic dwellers in this quiet village have a very unique way celebrating the nation’s jubilee. They generally perform their usual duties and observe the rule of “mind your own business.” We however was seized w ith an uncontrollable impulse to do something distinctive that would serve to make Nov. 18th, 18(19, noteworthy. We first tried to invite ourself to a “festal board” but none of our special friends seemed to notice our languishing. We denied our usual hotel fare and was quite sad and gloomy when np came a call from the school to attend a mass meeting of human underbrush at the temple of learning. We had a right to go for w e were Wrightfully invited. We went. We love fun. We have a fondness for lovable funsters wherever we meet them.

A laugh is a sacred thing ami it is gross sacrilege for one to laugh when one is not tickled. But it is thanksgiving day and let us be joyful. To be sure some crusty Pltarasees may growl ami hug a scowling phantom of sedativencss.

We met at ths school-room and a joyful assemblage it was in which thfe lads and lasses were in the ascendancy. “Coronation’’ was sung by a choral mass of earnest voices tuned to “harmonious discord.”— Then Prof. Smith gave a brief history of thanksgiving day from Adam to the Jew’s jubilee and in our nation from John Winthrop to U. S. Grant. At the cessation of the Professor’s speech which was encored we essayed in opr feebleness to tell why, when and how we felt thankful.- Being frequently cheered by the boys, we thought th>y were disposed to make light of our heaviest sentences and we soon made a period. Poor fellows! we did the best we could and ’tis a pity that those children whom God has blessed with many talents should make fun of dull chaps like us.— That is the kind of fun we can’t laugh at, because it ts -at our own expense. But we all felt thankful. We did not see any one whose angry passions had the rising inflection—all were merry, gay, and if the confectioneries had been supplied would have been festive too. We did scold a little but all in a good humored way. For encouragement to the youth we will say that we noticed quite a number who knew how to be nice and mannerly and we all felt thankful for that. There were s-very few whoso outward phiz showed over a half score of years who can neither laugh or talk sweetly and whose mouths are formed only to hide provender and belch forth ungainly sounds, and we all felt thankful for their feirnes*. There are many who have the native wit and zeal to be great and good citizens and we feel thankful for it. f We then “climbed up Zion’s hill” and were dismissed, and we all felt thankful that it was as well with u? as it was. We have bad our thanksgiving and are thankfqkjbr jt. X. Of course wood is taken on subscription at "this office, and so is corii, and pork, and sausages, and mon^y —when we it.

Still Ahead.

That Stab Spangled Banner, which for seven years has “waved” to the great satisfuctfon of its many thousand readers, and to the dissatisfaction of tdl swindlers and rascals generally, is even more wide awake < than ever It has at an fmmcnsciexpenw secured the services of an eminent artist, ami the result is that it proposes to give away a splendid engravingentitled Evangeline to every subscriber for 1870. Thia superb work of art is one and one-half by two feet in size, ami is eoual to the best $3 engraving evei offered. The Bannek is u large eight-page, forty column paper, overflowing with spkndid reading of all kinds and costs only 75 cents a year, which is very cheap for the pa* per alone, but the publishers propose givipg every subscribcra copy of their elegant engraving gratis. The paper and its publishers are reliable and it will pay-to send for specimens to the Star Spangled Banner, Hinsdale, N. H., or they can be seen at tiiis office.
