And then our exemption from war (barring the Apaches) and from pestilence and famine, while Cuba and “‘the fair land of while all Europe, from the Thames to the Golden Horn bristling with bayonets, is preparing for battle.

We have had some blue Mondays this year, but no “black Fri- day ;” we have had a splendid racing season on the land and the sea, a gay and prosperous season at our summer resorts, from the head- quarters of the President at Long Branch to the favorite shrine of the Vice President and his young wife—‘‘happy, happy pair’—among the reign of Tammany is extended, the juris- Indians and tbe little Indians are jubilant— eyen Red Cloud and Spotted Tail smoke the pipe of peace over their government whiskey— so that on all sides we have reasons sufficient for a genuine Thanksgiving dinner. It will be observed, however, that Moses ordained seven days for this annual thanks- giving, and that we have reduced it te ene day. But considering the value of time to our pilgrim fathers one day will do, and consider- ing the fast age in which we live we can doubtless do as much of feasting in one day as the ancient Israelites did in seven, so that, after all, the law is substantially fulfilled. At any rate, one day ata time is as much as can be spared for domestic festivities by our money changers, whereas Moses in the desert was not troubled much by money changers or devotees of Mammon, except on that memorable oc- casion when, in his absence up the mountain, Aaron beguiled the people to the worship of his golden calf. But in this incident do we not see that even the worship of the golden calf goes back to the time of Moses? In short, excepting the printing press, paper money, the telegraph, steam power, railways, glass, silke, spectacles, clocks, cork legs, gas, photographs, gunpowder, cotton gins, power looms, sewing machines, alcohel and negro suffrage, King Solomon was not far outof the way in saying “There is nothing new under the sun.” Negro suffrage. This brings us, full tilt, against the second branch of our subject—the year of jubilee, ‘‘And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a year of jubilee unto you.” Since the second election of President Monroe in 1820, which was a sort of jabilee on a small scale, fifty years have gone by; but in this memorable year 1870, as in reality we have “proclaimed liberty thronghout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof,” it is the year for a regular Mosaic jubilee. We dare say, too, that in the way of thankegiving and praise there will be more of roast turkeys, ducks and chickens consumed this day by the African population of the United States than in any other two days since the eman- cipation proclamation.

The abo- lition of slavery, however, and the adoption of the Gfteenth amendment clear the way for the Puritan roast turkey and pumpkin pie, dough- nuts and cider, from Delaware to the Mexican frontier. Accordingly the President's angual Thanksgiving proclamation, a recent innova- vation, may be considered a permanent insti- tution, Let the people, then, of this flourishing metrepolis and of the Empire State, and of all the States and all the Territories of the Union, join in this day’s festival, without distinction of creed, race, caste or color, Nor let it be forgotten that the duties of this festival extend to the poor, the suffering and the destitute, as far as we reach them. Let our preachers of the Gospel and their flocks remember the suf- ferings of the Cubans, the disasters of France and the lamentations of Germany over her thousands of strong men sacrificed to the in- fernal. gods of war, and let the faith- fal believers in the Holy Father ai Rome pray for his deliverance from his present troubles, and that he and his Church may become only stronger and bet- tor and wiser than they have ever been before, notwithstanding the loss of his temporal power.

So to our vast congregation of readers of all nations, creeds and races, from the Pre- sident in the White House to Napoleon at Wilbelmshéhe, and from the sachems of Tam- many to the diamond diggers of South Africa and the shepherds of Australia, wo wish a good Thanksgiving dinner, ek ae eet ae Tho Wai Sicaatlod Ta Braoc, The blow has not yet been strack in thd neighborhood of Paris, but there is no lack of activity on the part of the opposing forces, The French are apparently preparing to as- sume the offensive and pterce the German lines at Etampes. With this object in view General Paladines is concentrating a large army—report says one hundred ané fifty thousand men—at Angerville for that pur- pose. Angerville is nearly due south, about eighteen miles, from Etampes, The German line extends from Chateauneuf, through Chartres and Etampes, to Fontaineblewu, To attempt an undertaking ef the nature sald to be contemplated by the commander of the Army of the Loire a large army is requisite, sed whether Paladines has tpe force necessary to the accomplishment of such a task is extremely problematical. The men in his front are all experienced soldiers, confident in themselves and reliant in that prowess which has so often secured them victory. Opposed to them re the French soldiers, whose courage is undeniable, but whose lack of discipline weighs heavily in the balance against them. Numerically, even, they may be inferior to the Germans. What, then, are we left to expect > jes Of war are numerous, we know; but the careful watchfuloess of the German Commander-in-Chief and the promptness of his lieutenants have almost neutralized'chance in the Franco-Prussian war. Of all the generals which France has had in this struggle— and some of them have secured: victory with the eagles of France in many hard-fought battle flelds—none of them has done ‘as well. so: far in the war now waging as the present! commander of the Army of the Loire,. What his future achievements may be it is almost impossible even to gaess at. Within Paris-all is quiet. On the 13th Trochu made a successful reconnoissance about three miles to the south- west of Vincennes. The sieges of Montmédy and Mézitres are raised, and the Prussians have withdrawn their forces from around these cities. Spanish Rgvorowes in HAvaNA.—No sooner was the announcement that the Duke of Aosta had been elected King of Spain promulgated in the city of Havana than the most unbounded en- thusiasm was manifested at the result. Salutes, parades, a reception at the palace, and all the other manifestations of joy which distinguish the Spanish character were expressed in true tropical style. Captain General De Rodas, to add additional interest to the fétes, liberated three theusand negroes. So far so good; but the great question in which the whole island is most directly interested is its separation from Spain, and when that event takes place even the loyal city of Havana, which now re- joices over a newly elected monarch for Spain, will be as profuse im its enthusiasm over the inauguration of a Cuban republic. “(Surrer Lite CainprEN To Comm Unro Mg.”—See Mrs. Matthew T.

Great Britain feels this. England is troubled and perplexed. She is agitated internally and éxteriorly—Ireland ‘and India, home revolution and danger to her Asiatic possessions; both these contingencies pre- sent sharply to England in case of war, a® will seen from our telegrams. Ireland, impetuous as usual, appears to think that tho “dawning day, the coming day of free- dom,” is at hand, Stocks and securities were flat on the Lonfon ’Change. This is much worse than Ireland, in an English poiat of view. Russla, Turkey, Ireland, the treaty of Paris, the navigation of the Black Sea, finance and com- merce, consols, five-twenties and: the quota- tions of breadstuffs, wheil they are all mixed and muddled up together, aré quite sufficient to agitate and disturb a nation.

Only general statistics, how- ever, will be presented.. The volumes con-- taining agricultpralj manufacturing, social and miscetlaneous statistics will be ready in April.

Gap ov Ir.—Kit Burn and his gang of dog fighters, rat killers and cock pit rufflans have been handed ever by Judge Dowling to the tender mercies of the Court of General Sessions for trial.
