+ a. ean to God that his great villany omy not fail at the fast, Like a new hand, he prays awkwardly, too, and says that bis humble supplio, tions are due, not to God, but “ to His foutstools” And like an old political, skunk and schemer hb’ is tricky even in bis prayers, and tries to lay the | troubles all on some one else.

Imagine the Southern heart, whilom the residence of chivairy and such kinds of tenants, “eaten like a gangrene” by “ the love | of lucre”—all on the authority of President | Davis. Imagine also that noble Southern peo- ple—the bora rulers—as worshippers of gain. Is not Jeff. a little abusive in his prayers? Jeff. regards all these mishaps to the confede- Tacy as “lessons.” Let us go ou and give the con- federncy some more of these “lessons.” Let the thern people have abundant reasons for the “self examination” that their President thinks they will profit by. We have here the forma! declaration that they are badly beaten. Let them be kept so; let the chastening con- tinue. Give some rest to the veterans under Meade in this hot weather. Add oue hundred thousand men to that army, and send it South- ward once more. That will make Jeff. think evel re certainly that “the Lord reigneth.” Giginore all that be asks for. He isa good rod, and will chasten well. Let Grant go onto Mobile, Rosecrans keep up his steady pressure ugainst the rebel ceutre, and the con- federacy may be chastened out of existence by Christmas, and perhaps the Southern people may be as patient as their President thinks they ought to be, and may not “complain.” Twanksaiving Day.— Yesterday was the day set apart by President Lincoln as a day for a national thanksgiving for the great and glorious victories which have receat- ly crowned the uational arms, and the cheering prospects which they have opened to the cuuse of the Union. Side by side with our President's proc!amation to this effect we place the dismal call of Jef. Davis for a day to the unfortunate people of the so-called Confe- derate States of fasting, humiliation and prayer, in view of the late disasters inflicted upon the rebellion, and its gloomy prospects resulting from these defeats. It is only when Jeff. feels that he is in a bad way that he remembers his manifold sins and transgressions, and sets him- self tofasting, humiliation and prayer. When the Devil was sick, the Devil a monk would be; When the Devil got well, the devil a m.uk was Le. And so it is with Jeff. But, unfortunately for himself, he has given the people of the South a little too much of fasting, and they are begin- ning to realize the fact at length that his bad cause is past praying for. On the side of the Union the day was devoted in a be- coming manner everywhere to the recogni- tion of that all wise and omnipotent Provi- dence to Whom the thanks of a grateful people are directed.

THE OBSHAWTANOE OF THANKSGIVING DAY. ‘The thavk:giving day be beon more generally and atewtly observed thon, any Sunday. All the departments haye been complewly , closed, and no business has been anywhore transacted, ,The people generally have re- mained af’home to avoid ‘Xposure to the intense heat prevailing. Even the chure bed bave, for this reason, been sparsely attended, and y'2 Many of them a brief ex- hortation from the chavo Was substituted for the regular discourse. The President attended services at Dr. Gorley’s Pres, Ytertan church, and afterwards retired to the shad’ Of the Soldiers’ Home, During the day the streets wa "@ Strangely quiet and deserted; but in the evening, ax pla Ure parties ro- turned from suburbun resorts, some @a Uhkenness and disorder were now and then exhibited, THE RESTORATION OF THE UNTO Y+ Much anxiety is expreased by leading petith ‘ans here im regard’to the policy to be adopted by the gov ernment in reference to the restoration of the Unicn after*,the re- bellion shall have been crushed out. The only defl- nite policies that have been indicated § di'er widely. One is to maintain military control over the seceded States and treat them as Territories until each of thom shall have abolished slavery and by amend- ments to 1t# constitution become a free State; no repre- sentatives in Congross to be admitted from these States uutil this shall have been done, The other is, whonovor the rebel army in Virginia shall have been routed, to en- ter at once upon @ foreign war, and, treating the insur- rection as & thing of the past, to invite the soldiers of the Sonth to join the armies of the Union in chastising Great Britain for her infractions of the Inws of nations and driving the French out of Mexico, leaving the Southern States to regard their ordinances of secession as a nul- lity, and to fall back upon their old status snd condition before the war. Neither of these policies can commend the approbation of a majority of the Cabinet, and some new programme must be discl sed before the action of the government can be clearly defined. Gov ernor Pierpont, of West Virginia, is bere, to ask a def- nition of the policy of the government in this respect, and to urge that one shall be speedily adopted. EFFICIENCY OF THR DETKCTIVE FOROE. Tho prompt arrest of McCarty, the absconding clerk of Vaymaster McFurland, and the recovery of the whele of the stolen funds, is regarded as a bigh proof of the ciliciensy of the pew metropolitan detective police. ‘The money was dizcovered hidden in a stovepipe, ina clowet at the Eagle Hotel, in Bla@ensburg, where the par- ties wore arrested by J. A. McDivitt, of the metropolitan Police, assisted by officer J. KE. Jones, of Madensburg. ‘Tho affair was conducted under the direction of John Dugan, detective officer of the metropolitan police. NON-ARKIVAL OF THE MAIL. Washington ts mm the dark to-night. No afternoon pa pera have been issued, and, worse than all, the Hewanp has not come. The train due at balf-past five P.M has hot arrived. Hundreds are eageriy asking in every di- rection for a HeRaup, professing that they canuot sleop without It. THE PRIZE STEAMER NEPTUNE. The prize steamer Neptune, now lying at our Navy Yard, ts a much leas valuable vessel than former news- Payer reports from hore indicate. It is true she is Cast, ‘and could be relied on for fifteen knots in smooth water, but in a heavy sea, with even a gun or two in battery, she would be useless. Her meagre breadth of beam, com- pared with hor length, will render it almost impossible for the Navy Department to make a formidable war ves sel out of her, By the old salts who have examined her she is pronounced “ cranky.” She may, however, prove useful as @ dispatch vessel. She was an old Clyde steamer. A REGIMENT OF NEGRO CONSCRIPTS. ‘The draft in this district will produce a full regiment of negro conscripts; but comparatively few of the white conscripts will go into service. Nine-tentha of those who are not exempted for cause will either pay the commata- tion or provide substitutes. The brisk busisess already begun by substitute brokers indicates that a considerable foree will be realized in this way. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL ROUSSEAU. It is not often that such @ career } yajor Goneral Ronssoau, one of the heroes of Rosecrans’ is successfully run by @ person occupying | army, accompanied by Colonel Sanderson, of Kentucky, such a high military position as that to which this colonel has attained, and the administration owes it to an outraged people and to an honorable service to make, an exam- Js registered among the arrivals at Willard’s to-day.

Theatrical. THE GHOSTS AT WALLACK’S. Wallack’s theatre was overcrowded Isst evening Every foot of available space was occupied by people anxious to see the ghosts. The play was a production of Mr, Watkins’, called ‘True to the Last.”’ It is an adap tation and abbreviation of @ piece called ‘The Bride of an Kvening,’’ brought out at the Museum some time ago, This piece was, in its turn, an adaptation and dramatize tion of a Ledger novel. It makes an odd gort of a play, which has this curious characteristicd that when it is not stupid it 1s indelicate, and vice versa. The audience very soon and very plainly manifested that they came to see a curiosity . not to hear a bad melo- drama. Consequently the actors did not receive much encouragement in their uphill iabors. Mrs. HH. Watkine (Mrs. Charles Howard) proved to be an excellent actrees and a good singer, and was considerably applauded Mrs. Jobn Sefton’s pleasant rendering of the part of an old colonial dame was kindly appreciated, For tye rest, nobody did anything worth mentioning, except Mr. Charles Parsioe, Jr., who made al! the fun in the drama, and Mr. H. Watkins, who deliv ered his interminable sermons in a style which would have done credit to a country parson, but which ‘was exceedingly disagreeable on the stage of a theatre especially during an August evening. For the benefit of those of our readers who do not care to take the story papers, and would like to bo relieved from listening to the first two acts of ‘True to the Last,” wo shall condense the play in order to show how the time of our evacuation of the former place, aud bave cousequentiy been detained Lere since that tine.
