Revering the faith and practice of our fathcre, and recognizing the duty of a Christian People to acknowledge the goodness and grace of God, 1 do hereby with advice of the Executive Council ap point THURSDAY, TI1E TWENTY-FOURTH 1>AV OF NOVEMBER NEXT, As a day of I’CBLIC THANKSGIVING and PRAISE. Let us gather on that day us congregations and families to recount our blessings, to renew the love of kindred and home, and to join in thanks and worship to the Giver. Reminded also by these gatherings, of the losses and sorrows that attend this human lot, may we cherish thoughts of tenderness and charity, and seek to render acceptable set vice to God by works of good to our fellow men. Given at the Council Chamber, this thirty-first day of O toiler, i:i the year or our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy, and of the Independence of the United Nates o! America tlte ninety fifth. .JOSHUA U. CHAMBERLAIN. Frank!.t\ M. Dukvv, Secretary of State. SECRKTAIIV COTs It E Till EM ES T. We were led to believe from the ac counts we saw in our exchanges that Sec retary Cox is something f a saint and somebody else is very much a sinner, but we begin to hesitate, in view of recent de velopments, and incline to the opinion that be is very much like other men, and Mrs. Cox like other ladies. It is now asserted that the MeGarrahan claim, the disposition of which he wished to control, while Presi. dent Grant desired it to lay over for the action of Congress, had more influence in bringing about his resignation than all the politicians and political man«\ ures con nected therewith. Mrs. Cox it appears is not so resigned as Mr. Cox since his resig nation, and has taken pains to vent her re sentment upon Mrs. Grant in quite an in solent manner for a lady, and especially one whose husband is so nice a man as Mr. Cox is. We hope she will become more re signed to her husband’s resignation, and that we shall know soon whether it was Mr. Cox’s desire and failure to reform the civil service of the nation ora meaner mo tive which prompted him to seek the shades of private life. CHARGE OF GAUGE. The change of gauge begun on certain rail roads in our State, the first fruits of which were witnessed on Monday in the running of the cars from Bangor through the Kennebec valley to Portland without change, is an im portant event in the history of our railroads. The war of the gauges is one that has lung vexed our Legislature and wearied the pa tience of all who had anything to do with it, making everything and everybody dance at tendance upon it, and damaging the interest of the public as well as those of the corpora tions immediately concerned, lint Consolida tion has made an end of this warfare, at which there is without doubt a feeling of relief and gratification in all our bodies, more especially among those who are to sit in the Legislature or await its action. To the traveling public and shippers of freight the change of gauge will he a great convenience. What has al ready been done in the way of change w ill he followed by others until a thorough revolution of all the broad gauge roads in the State is completed, so that our cars may run without interruption and our freight and passengers without trun-shipment from Halifax to San Francisco, when the North American and European Hailway is completed. I he road upon winch tlie change ia now effected, the Maine Central, extends from Bangor to Danville Junction, where it unites with the Grand Trunk. It was originally under the direction of two corporations and was composed of two separate roads, the An droscoggin and Kennebec and the Penobscot And Kennebec. The Androscoggin and Ken nebec commenced at Danville Junction, 27 miles from Portland, and ran through Au burn, Lewiston, Greene, Leeds, Monmouth, Winthrop, lleudfleld, Belgrade and Water* ville. It was opened for bu.-iness in 18C.I. Its length was 54 63-100 miles. In 1853 the building of the Penobscot and Kennebec liail roud was commenced and com]doted in 1853. It began at Waterville, connecting with the Androscoggin and Kennebec, and ran through Fairfield, Benton, Clinton, Burnham, Pitts field, Detroit, Plymouth, Newport. Ktnu, Car mel, llcrmon and Hampden to Bangor. Its length was 55 miles. This and the road be fore mentioned had the broad gauge, 5 feet 6 inches, and thus made a continuous broad gauge line from Danville Junction to Bangor, a distance of 109 G8-10O miles. 1 he manage ment of the two road* was subsequently merged and the united roads have since been known as the Maine Central. This is the road which has just undergone the change o' gauge from 5 feet 6 inches to 4 feet 8 1-1 inches. The active agency in bringing about thii change is the Portland Kennebec liailroad formerly called the Kennebec and 1‘ortlatu liailroad. 'Plus road extends from l'ortlam to Augusta, 63 miles, with a branch to Bath miles. It was opened to Augusta in 1«51 to Hath in 1840. its gauge is 4 feet 8 1 inches, and of course no car belonging to tb Maine Central,, adapted to the 3 feet 0 inc gauge could pass over it, and net rtrta. 1 h difficulty was mutual between the roads, be the public after all were the greatest sufferers being obliged to tran-ship themselves am freight from gauge to gauge, either at Port land or Fairfield. Hence arose the sharp est contention, each road struggling to hold what patronage it had, and to control all new lines, building or to he lmilt, for its especial interest, through the gauge question. The Somerset and tscnnebcc road, extending from Augusta to Skowhegan, a distance of 37 miles,' passed under the narrow gauge control, and is leased by the Portland and Kennebec road. On the other band, the Maine Central pre j vailed in tiie Somerset road, now partially built, from Watervill* to Solon, and in the Belfast and Moosehead I.akc Kailroad just QO/ppleted. After years spent in vexatious and costly contests, which added nothing to the roads, and impeded the course of travel and transporta tion, the managers of the roads began serious ly to consider the wisdem ol continuing such a worse than useless war. The last fight in the Legislature was in 1*00, over the Somer set road, which was followed the next sum mer liv a struggle between the corporations about the Belfast and Moosehead road. 1 his. was the end of hostilities. In the fall the hatchet was buried, the war of the gauges was ended, and the two corporations came before the last Legislature and asked to be consoli dated. Their request was not granted, but nevertheless Consolidation has been practi cally effected under the existing charters and statutes, and the two companies are now one in interest, as recent operations clearly dem onstrate. The yielding of the Maine Central to a change of gauge is a step forced upon it by the general, growing ami preponderating in fluence of the narrow gauge in the country, and it was wise to (all in with what it could notcon trol. The line from Atlantic to Pacific is ovei tlte narrow gauge. The broad guage ear from Bangor only reached Portland when it was brought to a halt by the narrow gauge, and its customers obliged to pay heavy tribute to get aboard. Now Bangor passengers may go by the Androscoggin or the Kennebec, just as they choose, and have no detention or ex pcnse on account of clian^e ot gauge unui they reach San Francisco, if they wish to go so far: and Bangor merchants may have their freight from the west roach them without the trouble and cost of trail-shipment, which ol I course their customers have to pay for at last. We are not surprised that the citizens of Ban gor, and all eastern people who travel and freight by the Maine Central rejoice over the change. It makes them equal with the rest of the world in the means of transportation, throws down a barrier which has stood in the way of their prosperity. But the greatest advantage is one of a broader character than any of a local nature. This move must bring into unilormity the gauge of all the railroads in the State, built, building or projected. The North American and European will adopt the narrow gauge, and thus make the line from Halifax to San Francisco without a break. This system es tablished throughout the State will give a harmony and thoroughness to railroad work and business that has never been known here. Itailroads will increase and he located accord ing to the natural laws of traffic and travel, just as fast as they are needed and will pay, and not he under the influence of that un healthy competition which has stimulated and damaged some of our enterprises. We doubt if the splendid bridge at Augusta would have been built had it not been for Consolidation and the change of gauge, and surely any road that is building now can see a better prospect before it in a uniform system than in no sys tem or two clashing systems. That it will aid the growth of the State and the prosperity of our people is beyond a doubt, and if we are to become the manufacturing community which we may be, nothing can he more im portant than good communication with the marts of the country. The completion of the road from Danville to Portland is necessary to make the change thorough, hut there are improvements already felt and others soon to be, following immediately upon this change of gauge. GENERAL NEWS. The President has ordered a new census of Philadelphia to bo taken. A new ice company has been established in Albany. i In Scranton deacons are expelled from cilurch for saying “by thunder.” The London Examiner notices that Bis marck assumes a much more friendly tone towards the United States than towards Great Britain, and comments with bitterness on the contrast. Impostors who pretend to have lost limbs in the recent battles on the continent have already made their appearance in England. A lady at Boston narrowly escaped serious injury, a few days since, by having her chig non set on tire while travelling in a horse ear. Gold from 1.32 to 1.10 tells the financial story of Grant's administration. Miss Mattie Adams took the prize of the golden apple ns the handsomest woman at the Georgia State fuir. A lady In Jasper county (aged seventy-five) wants a divorce from her husband (aged seventy-eight,) because he “spends half his time running about with the girls." St. Louis has had another prize fight. This I is preliminary to becoming the national capi tal. It is reported thnt the prospect for cheap mackerel, cod and herring this coming winter is excellent. They are very plenty at the j banks of Newfoundland, and on account of tile war w ill have to find a market in this country. Late advices from llong Kong, received in London, express the idea that “if the French converts will leave ofl'protecting the Burnish missionaries so much, the Protestants will get along with the Chinese prettv comfort* II ably.” I Governor Hotrman’s horses ran away witli him the other day and endangered his life. Our telegraphic news will tell how his team behaved yesterday. Referring to the popular mania for prefixing i to all manner of association* the appellative “young," when the members thereof are ap t preaching the “sere and yellow leaf" of life, a contemporary says; “We have seen a 1 ‘young men's library associations,’ the entire j directory of which couldn’t furnish hair j enough of indigenous growth to stuff a pin cushion, and an organization of Christian ‘voung men’ whose heads, when gathered in full conclave, were compared hy an irreve rent observer to a ‘watermelon patch."’ The New Orleans Picayune says that a countryman who went to a theatre in that c tv as the escort of some ladies, retired at an in termission and returned with a pound or two i of peanuts wrapped in a paper, and two huge bananas sticking from his pocket. Just then, however, and before he had time to t ike his seat, one ot the actresses who had espec ially won iiia admiration, came to the foot lights and warbled a beautiful melody, i he full rich voice, exquisite in intonation and j breathing strains almost divine, completed the conquest of the countryman’s heart, and. unable to restrain his delight, he heaved on the stage his peanuts bananas and handker chief as a tribute to the fair enchantress. There was a momentary astonislinu nt visible upon tile faces on the stage, a single inter val of hesitation, which was removed hy the countryman’s voice, full and clear, 1 akc cm. gal. by jingo, you’re welcome." Now is the time to preserve autumn leaves. They should be placed betwee n folds ot any very absorbent paper and changed frequently —as often as once in a day or two. The pa per should be placed under a heavy weight.; so that the leaves may become properly j pressed as well as dried, that the proecs ni decay may lie arrested and the line colors preserved. A warm flat iron judiciously used will help the drying. In making up orna ment work the leaves should be carefully wiped with a cloth dipped in built d linseed oil. This brings out the color and gives a more natural appearance than varnish ot any kind. THE DIJ'10XI> DIGGERS. The last mails bring farther accounts of the diamond diggings at Cape Colony. The past fortnight before the mail Kit was seal to have been the best yet in the history of the diggings. A Mr. Parkes tound a diamond valued at from $40,000 to $.*5,000. The editor of the Journal speaks as follows el 1 nrkes s discovery, and other matters. At tile time of the find Patkes wa- in adcs pondiug mood, and w as about to olh r ‘.is claim lor sale or to abandon it. lie had been at woik for two months, and had louml noth ing wortli mentioning. However, he resolved upon taking a last dig or two. A most fortu nate resolve In went the pick, and out tumbled the diamond. You should have seen Mr. King’s dramatic representation ol Parkes's excitement on finding a fortune at a stroke I Tile stagger, the shine, the smile on the fore head, and the scream of joy were admirably imitated by the jolly farmer of Bedford. Be sides these two monsters, several fine large diamonds have been found, tw o or three id them noted us especially beautiful, one weigh ing 4U carats, another 21*4, and a third a grain or two short of 20. \Ye hear also, on what seems good authority, ot a stone weighing Co carats, of somewhat interior description, bal ing been purchased from a native woman tor a wagon and a span of oxen. The week end ing the 27th ot August, went by the name ed tue ‘ducky week,” from the number and quality ot the stones picked up. This was said to have been the most prolific week the Fields hud seen. The diggers had foun t as much in that one week as they had done in any previous month. The proceeds weie valued by some at £50,000, by others at a much larger figure. But these amounts are little more than guesses. .There is, of course, no general register kept of the diamonds found, and we are told that no concern is shown to make public small or even ordinary finds. We only hear of the large stones. A register is, it is true, kept on the mining grounds at Pniel. hut except an exceptional entry, such as the lucky Wednesday (the 24th), when 50 diamonds were found, we hear Utile of its contents. In our last number we alluded to the large diamond exports by the mail steamers as satisfactory evidence of the substantial suc cess of the diggings. We have not the exact figures before us, hut we believe that both ti.e flood Hope, which sailed on the 17lh. and the lionian, which conveys this summary, have parcels of great value oil hoard. 1 he Hood Hope carries to the value ot £18,000, and the Homan to a still larger amount. To our knowledge, a considerable number l ave not yet been sent home, whi e others are car ded by their owners, and never figure in tl, Customs report. As to the other way of estimating the suc cess of the Fields—namely, the luck which attends individual diggers, or the digging community as a whole, in less than two months the digging population has been in creased from 500 to (1,000 and tbe cry h still tliev come—some on foot; some in spring carts, well equipped, witli food and imple ments; others in scrubby veliiilcs without a cover—all making for the new mine of South African wealth. A tew of the travelers go alone, with one or two native servants, otlici in family parties, and some in small joint stock companies. They are of all sorts and sizes, ami all descriptions some arecicu,-. some laborers, some triuiesmen. Our read ers can judge how many are likely to be sut* cessful among a motley heterogeneous crowd, pursuing an industry peculiarly uueertaln, and involving very hard work. e believe that Companies, properly organized, with a good stall' t ten iln.-. The criminal docket will be taken up early next week. Several cases have come up and have been decided, but none of general interest. Three divorces have been granted. Judge Cutting is on the bench. Ktn.1 Smith is phonographic reporter. i)ur county Teachers’ Institute was held a wee k at Sear-port. The attendance was large, and a larger number of teachers were certifi cated than at any other institute in the State. Town institutes of two days each will com mence next week, and he held in various sec tions of the county during November and De cember. A widow lady named Quimby attempted to commit suicide last week by jumping off the whaif into the dock, while laboring under an aberration of mind. She was rescued after a thorough wetting. One advantage of our newly completed railroad will be that we shall get our mails, western papers, &c., the evening of the same day they are sent or issued. A rumor is in circulation around town that the M. C. K. Company have refused to accept the contract for a lease. Our citizens are much excited over the rumor. If the rumor be true, it is seriously proposed to take up the rails and discontinue the road from Burnham to Brooks and switch off from the lattei place, building a road up river, our company furnishing the iron and the K. N. A. doing the work. Then the Bay Iliver road could be built from bore to Rockland, then there would he a lively competition.

Fearful distress and dis content prevails in Germany, growing out of the prolongation ol the war, ol which the •Journals dare not .“peak, because no mercy is shown by this military government. The whole country is morally and materially in the most deplorable condition, and public indignation is only restrained by military i discipline. Kverywherc is desolation. Tens of thousands are in mourning. Prussia may yet greatly injure France, but she is so ex hausted tnat she cannot conquer her. King William must soon be under the same con ditions as was the Kmperor after the battles iun power will collapse like the dreams of the Kmperor. Another correspondent writing from Per pignan on the fill, says civil war commenced here with frightful scenes. The Col. com manding was assailed by a band of lteds and cut down. The Chief of the geiid’armes un derwent the same fate. M. De Hasdas, Mayor, was stoned to death lu tore Ins own house. Another gentleman was pursued by the mob and killed with butchers hammers. The National Guard are now assembling to quiet the mob. Alt the I houses ami shops are closed. Gen. Manat who commanded the artillery I at Strasbourg, was arrested at Grenoble on charge of treason against the Republic. A mob assembled before his hotel, crying out “We are people, Sovereign people,” “Down with the servants of Empire.” It was with great difficulty that Banat was rescued from the band and conveyed to the prison. On the 31st, Thier’s hotel was surrounded by crowds of the Reds, crying “Down with Thiers, down with the traitor, down with the dupe.” The town of Verdun has capitulated to the Prussians. Garibaldi lias issued the following address to the Italians now under him Soldiers:—We meet again. You young and vigorous, I am old and infirm, but still steadfast to my principles.

gailj $ttiuu&rc Journal A CALIFORNIA GLACIER. In yonder mountain valley is a ast body of ice, slowly seeking a lower level and wanner climate, and grinding to atoms the huge ramparts of rock on either side of it. Centuries pass, and though its pro gress has been but little, its work has been wonderful. On and on it marches, ti'l the warm winds of the plain sweep up to it. Here the hot sun greets it. It eats into the bold front of the glacier, until it changes its form and pace. Mean" hue a river is making, which feeds the speed of the huge monster that formed it. bower and lower the glacier creeps: higher and higher the river rises. It grows with the dav it grows with the night. It becomes a stranger to all manner ot decorum. It springs again and again at the rocky sen tinels above it, and finally crumbles them into its bosom. It up-roots the trees that stands in its pathway. It sears the breast of the mountains with its terrible iceberg batteries. It licks up the soil of the smaller valleys, and deepens that ol the iarger ones. It dashes through tin- mar row gorges, changing into boulders the huge rocks that oppose its progress. It is everywhere a power for new and radical changes.—Overland Monthly. notice OFFICE OF THE AMERICAN WATCH CO. WALTHAM, MASS.. Nor.. 186S.

BUCHU, in one former other,has been presented by every educated Physician for more than TWO HUNDRED YEARS. H. T. II ELM BOLD claims a superior mode of extracting its virtues. The experiments were made while engaged in the DISCO business in the city of Philadelphia, nineteen years ago, prompted by the alarming increase of diseases of the Bladder, Kid neys, t.Jravel and Urinary Organs, c\i>ti g in both sexes. These diseases were justly attracting n* much attention as diseases of the Liver, or any other vital organs of the body. I pon the sound and healthy condition of these important organs, the healthy and harmonious action of the nervous sys tem and Liver, and consequently the happiness of the entire human family, depends. That Buchu should act upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre pare it so that it would retain Its strength and active principle, was his aim. It must not be made, at housekeepers make tea, by boiling. It is ft delicate Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed by such a process, it must be prepared in Y \CUO and from the Long leaf, tiv-h and carefully se lected.

T. lii i.mbold—I>kak Sir: In regard to the question asked me as to my opinion about Bu* elm, 1 w ould say 1 have used and bold the article in various forma for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not u-ed. or known to be used, in the various disease* where such medical patent would he indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac quired, in niv judgment, is warranted by the facts. 1 have seen and used, as before stated, every form of ltuchu—the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex tract.-—and I am not cognizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’ experience ought, I think, to give me the right to judge of its merits, and, without prejudice or par tiality. I give you fffcct deuce over ulJ others. 1 value your ltuchu for its effect on patients. 1 have cured with it. and seen cured with it, more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cured with any other buchu or any other proprietary compound of w hatever name. Respectfully yours, JLc., GEO. II. KEYSER, M. I).. 110 Wood St., Pittsburg, Pa. August 11,1865. A Case of Twenty Years’ Standing. Philadelphia, Pa., June 25, i*H7. II. T. Hklmrold, Druggist— Hear Sir: I have been u sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kulney affections, during which lime 1 have used various medicinal preparations and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted my family physican in regard to using your Extract ltuchu. 1 did this because I had used n’l kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them w orthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, 1 despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredieuts. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cuhebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination: and with his ad vice, after an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. 1 commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room. From the first bottle 1 was astonished at the hen efleial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to foxi a full statement of my case at the time, but ihupght my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect euro, knowing then it would he ot greater value to you and more satisfactory to«i«f: I am now able to report that a cure is effect**!, after using the remedy for five months. I have not used any now for three months, a*d leel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Rueliii being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and in vigorator of the system, 1 do not mean to be without it w henever occasion may require its use in such affections. M.
