Yesterday, the day designated by Presiden; Lincoln es aday of Thanksgiving, was very generally observed. Public offices, banks and places of business were closed, and the people set themselves to a hearty observance of the day, not forgetting to pay due attenticn to that estimable feature of the occasion, the Thanks- giving Dinner, which sent up its appetizing odor throughout the length and breadth of the city. The weather was jast the thing for thanksytving day parposes, with a mild crisp- ness, not cold, but cool enough to be bracing, and tomake it pleasant to gather about the eiewne fire and the smoking beard at night- THANKSGIVING AT THE HOSPITALS. Through the exertions of the kind triends of our brave soldiers confined in hospital, the latter were provided with a bountiful Tnanks- giving dinner, and were thus assured that they were remember’ by' eratefal country. ARMORY SQUARE Hus i TAL. This festival day, instituted by the religious zeal and gratitude of our pious New England ancestors, was celebrated in am interesting and appropriate manner by the soldiers of Armory SquareiHospital. The initiatory steps towards procuring @ grand thanksgiving dinner for the soldiers were taken Saturday, 19:b,and through the efforts of Dr. D. W .Bliss, surgeon in charge, who.is ever untiring in bis devotion to our wounded and sick soldiers, aided by the worthy chaplain, Rev. E. W. Jackson, the at- fair proved an entire success. The amount of money collected for the pur- pose was about $390, of which the Wesley Chapel Sunday School contributed the hand- some of $100. Mach proise is due Mr. C. H. Lane for his efforts in pr ring thissum. Adams & Co andthe American Telegraph Company gen- erously contributed $20 each; the Sanitary Commission $5. The remainder was made up by individual contributions. Massachusetts, through Col. Taylor, State Agent, contributed 300 pounds of turkeys. Mrs, Piatt, of Connec- tieut, who had intended to provide a dinner for the men trom her State, seeing the bill of fare, remarked, “I cannotimprove upon that,” and gave #15 to the general fund. The tables,.four in number, were laid in Ward K, and eztended the entire length of the ward. The American flag was tastetully dis- played et the ends and center of the hail, while on the north wall appeared in large let- ters, red, white.and blue, the words + National Thanksgiving.” The lady in charge made a teHing little speech on being called to the chair. Mauch credit ic due to Acting Commissary Geo. B. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson for the cred- itable manner ip which the preparations were made. Of the 5% men in hospital, 550 were provided for at the tables, together with the large detachment of Veteran Reserve Corps men on duty here.as nurses oron guard. The other inmates of the hospital, the severely wounded and those on special diet, were pro- vided for most attentively im their various wards. The following bill of tare was admirably discussed, Chaplain Jackson having invoked the Divine blessing. Bill of Fare—Full Diet.—Meats—Roast beet, roast veal, boiled ham; Poultry—Roast turkey, Toast geose, chicken pie; Confectionery—Cran- berry sauce, 40. tart, apple pie, mixed cakes, jeliies; Sundry.

After the sumptuous repast, the following poem, written for the occasion, was read by T.S. Perry, Esg., of Maine, @ brother of Hon. Mr. Perry, of that State. The reader was frequently interrapted by ioud outbursts of applause: THANKSGIVING POEM, Through another year eventfal, With its toil and strife and change, ‘We have passed, as those who journey Through a land unknown and strange. And to Him whose hand almighty Still bas led us on our way Ever wisely, ever kindly We do render thanks to day. For the Spring time’s gentle beauty, Smiling skies and breezes bland, Summer sur and timely shower, Autum plenty in the land. For full many & wreath and triamph ‘Won mid battle, smoke and din E’en for failure, that shall teach ns, How another time to win. For each sign of love and favor, For each needed chastisement; For whatever, in Thy wisdom, And Thy kindness, Thou hast sent. Looking upward through the darkness, Turnmg from our griets away ; Hoping, trusting, O our Father, e do render thanks to day. Andin such a time of trial, ‘When to falter is to yield; Thanks for hearts so true and constant, In the home, and on the field. Thanks for sisters, wives and mothers, Who, to join the deadly fray, ‘With their teartul benedictions, Send their best beloved away! God be thanked for all our heroes; For eur tars so stout and true; For the gallant bosoms beating Underneath the army blue. Some are sick—God send them healing. Some are maimed—God send them grace. Some are dying—NSaviour, lead them To Thy heavenly dwelling place. God be with them, marching, fighting, Saffering, till their work is done; Till each weary march is ended, And the last red field is won ; Till the sounds of strife and carnage, Hideous shriek of shot and shell, Cannon’s roar aud mortar’s bellow, Rallying cheer and charging yell, Megs. and groan, and cry of anguish, ough the stricken land shall cease; Riseanstead the shouts of triumph, the blessed hymns of peace. Till on high, God's sunsbine gilding All its glorious battle scars, Free from every stain and shadow, Floats oar flag of STRIPES AND STARS! The followmg wasts, prepared for the occa- sion. were read by Dr. H. E. Woodbury, in be- halt of the committee of arrangements: 1. The day we celebrate, instituzed by the pious zeal of ourancestors; may theirsons per- petuate it to the latest posterity. This was eloquently responded to by H. A. Pierce, Esq., of Callfornie, v. The Surgeon in charge. This Bliss-fal occasion would be deprived of all its Bliss if it were not cheered by the presence of our Bliss- promoting surgeon in charge. This was appropriately responded te by Chaplain E. W. Jackson. 3. The Ladies. They have emulated the Spartan matrons; they have soothed the last moments of many a gallant soldier with those expressions of sympathy and acts of kindness which they can so well bestow. The fature historian of this war shall surround with an amararthine wreath of beauty the cherished name of woman. Responded to by Rev. T R. Howlett, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of this city. 4. Armory Square Hospital. Let Excelsior be everywhere inscribed upon its walls, and me. Bhss-ful hours be experienced by its in- maies. This sentiment drew forth a felicitous re- sponse trom D. A. Barr, Esq., of Washington. The Glee Club connected with the Hospital enlivened the affair with several patrioticsongs closing with Old Hundred, in which ali pres- ent joined. The occasion was one that will ong be remembered by all who participatedin ts festivities. 7 Too much praise cannot be awarded to the Surgeon in charge, the Commissary of the Hos- Pita], the Chaplain, and the generous and pa- iriotie citizens eho enidered such substantial ald upon this occasion. This hospital has 4 fine library and readi useof the soldiers, anda spined ve hep is here. Great pains we a S have Deen case, ,beantify and adorn the grounds and maké the rooms and surround- ings altogether as cheerful as possible to the senses of our brave wounded. N&, 3,663. CARVER HOSPITAL. The dining halls of Carver hospital present- ed scenes of interest on the national thanks- giving occasion. The rooms are large, well lighted, and commodious, capable of seating 500 persons each. They were tastefully deco- rated for the occasion with evergreens and ap- propriate emblems. The city ot Boston fur- Nished the poultry for the dinner, and this fact had evidently opened a vein of appreciative pleasantry as appeared in conspicuously dis- played mettoes. Among these we noticed: “Boston furnishes the Turkeys and Surgeon Judson the Carver,” “Yankee Notions—Tur- keys and Chickens, &c.”” Atl o'clock the doors were opened and about o0 soldiers seated themselves at the well-filled tables, and, after a blessing asked, did ample justice to the good things provided. After the suhstantials had been discussed and apples and nuts distributed, Surgeon Judson offered a resolution of thanks to the Boston donors. Rey. Professor S. M. Shute, of Columbia Col- lege, being present, was caHed upon, and re- sponded in a thrilling, eloquent and patriotic speech. He spoke of the magnificent spectacle of a great nation united im giving thanks to God. But this, he said, was just and proper— because, Ist, we have been preserved as a na- tion; 2d, because we have baen successful in maintaining our national integrity by an ap- peal to arms; 3d, because we believe God will give us asuc sfuland presperous issue oat of this stern conflict. The eloquent gentleman was often interrupted by bursts of applause, and at the close of the remarks three times three went up for Boston, the Union, and the Army. CObaplain Parks made a few appro- priate remarke, and this closed a long-to-be- remembered day in Carver. Religious services ofmuch interest were held in theeyening. This hospitalis in charge of Surgeon O. A. Jadson, who has been here since September, 1°62, and who, in the meantime, has improved and beautified the building and grounds in sucha manner as reflects on him much credit. This hospital was the first in the vicinity of Washington that Bad connected with ita band. This hospital has now 60 patients, and can aecommodate 1,700, There ts also connected with it a choice library, the credit for the rais- ing of which is mainly due to Chaplain J. H. Parks, who got it up by writing to nearly all the loyal pablishers in the United States, re- questing them to contribute books for the ase of the soldiers in hospital. ST. BIIZABETH HOSPITAL, The Government Hospital for the Insane, which is situated about a mile outside of the city limits beyond the navy yard bridge, did not, it seems, lie outside the limits of the Pres- ident’s thanksgiving proclamation. Col. Gar- diner Tufts, the Massachusetts Milltary State agent, generously furnished 100 pounds of tur- keys for the insane soldiers, which, in addition to the amount (over 200 pounds) already pro- vided, made, with the cranberry sauce and appropriate side dishes, i most bountifal re- past for more than 4100 patients, besides all the employes of the establishment. After aprro- priate morning services, the day was passed in pleasant outside walks and rambles and indoor games and amusements, with occasional visits from friends. In the evening the convalescent patients, with their attendants, assembled in the lecture room, where they listened to the reading of the President’s proclamation, and afterwards joined in a social dance, enlivened by appropriate music frem the celebrated uckley’s Serenaders. Throughout the day nothing cccurred to mar the festivities of the occasion. Those who suppose this institution was ‘‘leftout in the cold” on Thanksgiving day have entirely mistaken the character of its able and efficient superintendent Dr. C. H. Ni- chols, who, it is proper to mention here, has presided over its growing fortunes from its first inception up to the present trme, when its yearly admissions exceed those of any institn- tion of a similar eharacter in the world. MOUNT PLEASANT GENERAL HOSPITAL. A mest sumptuous repast was provided at this hospital by the Union City Committee and Mayor of Boston, through Lieut. Col. Gardiner Tutts, Massachusetts State Agent, to all sol- diers irrespective of States. It consisted of soup, roast tarkey, chickens, vegetables, &c. Dinner being on the tables at precisely 2 o’clock, the patients began to take their respec- tive places, the band attacbed to the Reserve corps, stationed here, playing “Rally round the flag, boys.” All being arranged, standing and uncovered, Assistant Surgeon McColl, U S. A., made a few appropriate and reeling re. marke, concluding by trusting they would ap- preciate what was set before them In the sense it was given. Three spontaneous cheers were then given for the Doctor. Acting Assistant Surgeon Carrier also made a few remarks, closing them by proposing three cheers for the donors of this liberal meal, which was most enthusiastically responded to. Upon this they fell too in right good earnest, and it need hardly be said they did ample justice to this patriotic and munificent repast. The band played sey- eral select pieces from 3 o’clock until dark, to the evident delight of the listeners. In the evening Divine service was conducted by the Chaplain, G. G. Goss, which brought to a close this day’s proceedings, all seemingly well pleased. CAMPBELL HOSPITAL. The preparations in this hospital to teast the sick and wounded were ve.y extensive, about one hundred turkeys having been prepared for the occasion, besides many other good things the palate might crave. he tables were ar- Tanged so as to seat about 450 patients, and for those who were unable to leaye their rooms, ample provision was made. The patients took their seats at the tables about 2 o'clock, and feasted and made merry the occasion with speeches, toasts, songs, Kc., every one appear- ing to beglad thathe wasalive and able to aid he could yetdo justice toa well filled table. The Jecture and reading rooms were deco- rated with flags, wreaths, paintings, &c., and the motto, ‘Stand by the flag,” and “In God We trust,” in large parti-colored letters encir- cled the rooms. In this room it was proposed te have a social dance im the evening, when Governor Morton, of Indiana, and others were expected to be present and address the soldiers, These rooms contain a stage and some yery beautiful scenery where a Thespian society, organized amongst the inmates of the hospital, appear every Friday evening and enliven their tellow soldiers with theirimpersonations. The scenery has been painted by some of the sol- diers in hospital, and is really beautifal. The reading room is provided with about 25 daily and weekly newspapers, besides a number of periodicals. The library connected with this hospital is quite extensive, containing about 2,500 volumes of choice books. A printing office is also in operation, where are printed the blanks, &c., used in the business of the hospital. Surgeon A. F. Sheldon, U.S. V, in charge ot this hospital, exerted himself evidently to imsure all the soldiers a happy time, as also did Dr. True and others. BMORY HOSPITAL, At Emory Hospital, in charge of Col. N. R Mosely, the day was appropriately observed, Rev. John Lanahan preaching at 10 o’clock an appropriate and able discourse in the chapel, which was well filled by the patients, and the patients partaking of a finedinner. At 1 o’cl’k, those able to walk, numbering about 400, as- sembled at headquarters and headed by Steward Brambill and the fine band attached to the hospital, proceeded to the dining hall where, after a few remarks suited to the occa- sion were made by Dr. Mosely, they partook ot atine dinner, consisting of ham, turkey, chicken, beef, mutton, goose, duck, cranberry sauce, pies, jellies, apples, ale and porter. Those who were unable to proceed to the dining hall were notneglected being waited on in their beds, and not one was heard to com- pjam. This dinner was furnished in a good measure by the Massachusetts Association. Later in the day the officers with their ladies and some few guests sat down to a dinner ex- actly similar in the chapel. Atnighta grand concert, gotten up by the leader of the band, Mr. Perkins, some of the Veteran Reserye Corps stationed there and a number of the patients, came Of in the dining hajl. The The pieces consisted of songs, dances, instru- mental solos, ballads, &c., and everybody was eased. : * This hospital isnow in a fine condition every- thing working like clock work and the morate of the men of whom there are, including of- ficers, nurses, &c. about 850 will compare Jayorably with any other. This excellent etate of offairs isowing ina good measure to the fact that @ division of the Sons of Tem- perance has been established here, which is ‘weekly receiving large accessions, 50 or more having recently Mn initiated at one time, and now there are over 300 members in it.

Augur General Hospital adjoins Kendezvous of Distribution, on the seuth side of the Poto- mac, and is about four miles from Washington and three from Alexandria. It is large, well laid out, has eight wards, and will accommo- date nearly 1,000 patients. Though itself on bigh ground, it is almost completely invested by hills, which keep off the winter winds, and the grove in which itis located makes it a shady and cool retreat in the summer months. The grounds are very picturesque, having re- cently been greatly improved. Im the center isa Jarge corps-badge garden, and@ artificial embankments and sodding have greatly re- lieved and beantified the natural raggedness of mother earth in this portion of Virginia. Front- ing the main ward isa large and neat frame building used for medical headquarters, a hos- pital library, recently collected and established; and fora general dispensary from which are supplied all medical stores for both the hos- pial and Camp Dictribuuon. On the north are the neat brown cottage and grounds of the special relief agent of the United States Sani- tary Commission, &8 new chapel nearly com- pleted, as wellas the tents and buildings of the surgeons, stewards and attachees of the hospital. On the west is the encampment or barracks of the 1ith V. R. C., while southward is the residence of the surgeon in charge and the numerous barracks and buildings of Camp Distribution. There are many points of interest in this hospital which we bave not the time or space to notice, and which are not generaily koown. tis only about a year old, notwithstanding its general completeness, and already ranks among the first hospitals in the country, both in importance and efficiency. G. L. Sutton, Surgeon U. S. V., is the surgeon in charge, having also the medical supervision of Camp Distribution, trom which most ot ite patients come Dr. Sutton had made arryngements to give those under his command a Thanxegiving feast several days betore hearing of te gen- erosity of the Boston and other committees, and when he received notice from the Medical Di- rector chat turkies, &c., would be supplied his hospital through Col. Tufts, Military State Agent of Massachusetts, he conld only decline the gift and recommend that the portion ai- lotted to him be sent where they were more needed, or to hospitals less fortunate than Augur. The Doctor, through skilful manage. ment, ecomomy and care. had acquired a large hospital fund, and he justly and generously considered that a portion of it could be usedin celebrating Thanksgiving. Accordingly, all expenses were paid from the fund, and all the arrangements made by the Doctor himself, and the day passed off as finely and pleasantly as possible. The dinner was in every way a success. Six large tables were set in the hospital dining room at | o’clock, and 530 patients portook of the luxuyies placed before them. The follow- ing is the substance of the bill of tare:—roast turkey, chicken, roast and stewed, potatoes, Irish and sweet, onions, beets, pickled toma- toe3, plum pudding, mince pies, squash pies, bread, butter, &c., &c. There was an abun- dance of everything good, and universal satis- faction was expressed by the men, who seemed to enjoy the day and the sumptuous dinner it called forth as soldiers only can enjoy such luxuries which their service has made them unused to. It will bea day long remembered by those who shared its pleasures at Augar General hospital. STANTON HOSPITAL. AtStanton Hospital, (which is named after our energetic Secretary of War,) the patients and attendants were furnished with asumptu- ous dinner, consisting of roast turkey, chicken, boiled ham, the vegetables of the season, pies, cakes, apples, &e. procured principally through the exertions of Mrs. Dr. E. R. Cutler, of Massachusetts, who has worked night and day in getting up the dinner, Mrs. U. pro- cured the turkeys from the Massachusetts State Agency, and the other ‘good things” ‘were purchased by money contributed by the clerks of the War Department, and by the friends of Mrs. ©. in her native State, to whom she appealed to assist in the good cause, Atl o’clock dinner was announced, when about 250men marched into the side doors of the large dining room, and filed along the tables, during which time one of the patients presided at the piano, and performen in admi- Table style some excellent music. The tables being manned, a blessing was asked by Capt. Shellinglow, the military assistant of the hos- pital, and at the command “be seated,” every man promptiy “dropped” and entered with aiotwant valor on the tempting work before im. Alter the men had feasted amply and taken their mug of ale, they were furnished with segars, and while they were smoking them, excellent addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Channing, Capt. Shillinglaw, Surgeons Os- bourne and Wilson. At intervals, ‘My Country tis ot Thee,” the Star Spangled Ban- ner,” “Red, White and Blue,” and ether pa- triotic airs were sang by the officers and men, accompanied by music on the piano, presided over by Mrs. Cutler. The dining room was then cleared, and dancing commenced by the men, which lasted until dark. At this hospital there were some twent patients who were unable to attend the tabie m the dining room, but they were furnished with many little delicacies, provided by Mrs. Cutler, who had a table spread in ward No. 1. Tn this way it was shown to every man in the hospital that he was not forgotten, and they expressed their gratitude to their benefactors in various ways. Surgeon Benjamin B. Wilson has charge of this hospital, and is efficiently aided by as- sistant Surgeons C. H. Osbourne, J. B. Gar- Jand, and Geo. W. Baker. The execntive steward is G. W. Jacques, whospares no pains to add to the comfort of the inmates. The as- sistant stewards, M. E. Woodward, and J.C. 08S. COLUMBIAN HOSPITAL. Thanksgiving Day at Columbian Hospital Was a hearty affair. An abundant dinner, After the genuine old Thanksgiving style, of turkeys, with appropriate trimmings, was pro- vided; the substantials having been furnished by Lieut. Uol. Tufts, Massachusetts military @gent, from the Union Committee of Boston, aided by the City Council, and by private do- nations, There were no visitors but the offi- cers of the institution, and no preliminary speechifying to hungry men; but at the Leat ot e drum, about 1”) soldiers came in orderly array, and, after a few appropriate remarks by the surgeon in charge, on the duty of thanks- giving, the chaplain said grace, and a simulta- neous attack on the good things took place, with an earnestness that was bent on enjoying the opportunity afforded. At the close of the dinner it was suggested by Dr. Crosby that all those who were in favor ot returning thanks to the benevolent donors of the festival should rise and give three cheers, which was responded to unanimously, and doubtless with greater effect trom the generous cheer that enlivened their hearts. The evening was spentin religious and sing- ing, and the free expression of f espes gems and pithy observations; and the day closed with the invocation of the Divine blessing on our country, our arms, and our firesides. RICORD HOSPITAL. The day was observed in this hospital in a manner which was interesting and pleasant for all connected with it. At one p. m., all the men, together with some guests, were assem- bled in One of the largest wards of the hospital, where the 1(3d Psalm was sung by the choir. The President’s proclamation was read by Dr. ©. W. Hornor, the Surgeon in charge; the order of the Military Commander, relative to the observance of the day, was read by the Execu- tive Officer, Dr. T. Turner, after which an in- teresting and patriotic discourse was delivered by the Chaplain, Rev. W.T. Johnson, from the 103d Psalm, first verse; then'all joined in sing- ing, ‘‘My Country, ’tis of thee.” Prayer was then offered by the Chaplain, after which the exercises were closed by the Doxology and Benediction. The welcome sound of the bugle then echeed throngh the apartments, which ‘was responded to by each one starting the line of march for tne dining rooms, where a sump. tnous feast had been Ppepered, through the generous donations of assachusetts folks, the Sant Commission, and many other friends of the soldiers. It was soon evident from actions, which speak plainer than words, that their expression of Kindness was full app! , There were about 200 rp eeent: and many sentiments were expressed in to those rag ped remem them.

V, in charge, has everything in clockwork order throughont the hospital QUARTERMASTER’S HOSPITAL. Owing to the non-receipt of the poultry the dinner at this hospital was postponed until Saturday. This hospttat seemed to have been. entirely overlooked bg the ai: mt State agen- cies and the various comfmisstons, and had it not been for Mrs. Fales, who visited the hospit- al yesterday morring, the men would have been without a turkey dinner. She seeing that no ef had been received immedistely went to the Ohio State agency and procured the tur. keys, but they did not arrive in time to be pre- pared yesterday. This not being an army hos- pital there are but few visitors to ube tnstitu- tion, and the inmaAtes complain that they are ‘left ont in the oold.” There are now but sev- enty-five patients in this hoepital, which is an unusually small number. The hospital ac- commodations are good, aud the inmates are rendered as comfortable as the circumstances willpermit, The officers of the institution are D. N.S. Lincoln, surgeon in charge: Dr. P, Wadsworth, resident physician; and Yhos. D. Jones, superintendent THANKSGIVING TQ THE VETERAN RESERVE corrs. Major BradJey, State Agent of New York, and J. ©.

Accordingly, poultry was provided for some four thousand five handred men; so that it may be said every soldier and sailor in Washington was provided with a Thanksgiving dinner.
