He occupied this position bat two days, when, ia consequence or the election, br the Legislature, of the Uovernor elect Hon. Ileary 8. Lane to the Senate for a six years' term, he became GoTeraor or Indians, and took the oath of office. Ia February, 1861 joat after the adoption of the Confederate Constitu tion Governor Morton spoke words that thrilled the loyalist! from Maine to th Pacific President Lincoln, while em route fer the Capital, made a brief atop at Iadjanapolia, where ne was aa dreaaad hy Oortraot Morton, who laid down thia broad wadoir "Sabmtaslon to the popular will is the eaMitlal priaerpJe of republican rovernxaant, aad so rltal is this princi pal that it admit of bat one exception, which is rerotatioa. To weaken it is aaarchr. to destroy it ia despotism. It recognized no appeal beyond the bal lot box. and while it is preserved liber tr mar be wounded, bat never will be lain.'1 Soon after Governor Morton visited Washington, lit had no faith in the possibility of a peaceable separation of i4 stale, lie urged upon rreaweni Liaoola a ylroroas policy, and plsdged six thooaaad Tolanteera from Indiana to t attain him in patting down tho ni sent rtbellion. When the President issued bis first proclamation calling for 75,000 troops. Morton issued a csll which brought in eight days 12,000 men to the support of the government. Thenceforward he became the "great war Governor." His career was daring ana splendid as it was efiecliye. He hesitated at no risk, and he accepted with unflinching intre pidity all conditions. He was to the end ( the war the great pillar of sup- port to Lincoln. The lemocrat carried the state in 1&52, and cap. tired the legislature, which refused to receive Gov. Morton's message, passed resolutiens denouncing the war, and adjourned without making a single appropriation to carry on the government. Gov. Morton was equal to the emergency. He organized a bu reau of finance, and appealed to the people. TownVmade appropriation; a railroad loaned 115,000, and individu als proffered funds. Governor Morton went to Washington, was appointed a disbursing officer, and received t0,- 000 from the general government out of the special appropriation for milita ry purposes. In this way the state was saved. History records no similsr case of an Executive carrying a state for two years by individual effort, without any assistance from the State Treasury In 1SC5 he was seized with paralysis by which he lost the us of his leg. He spent five months in Europe for the recovery of his health and on returning was elected United States Senator for six years, end i or March 4th. 1S73.

The following Thanksgiving Procla mation has been issued by tha Pjeal dent of the United States: The completed cycle of saxomer aad winter, seed time and harvest, r has brought us to the accustomed season at which a religious people celebrate wfth praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Almighty God. This devout public confession of the constant de pendence of man upon the Divinefa vor for all the good gifts of life aod health and peace and happiness bo early in our history made habit of oar people finds in the surrey of the past year new grounds fer its joyful aad grateful manifestation, In all the blessings which depend upon benignant season, this has been a memorable year over the wide territory of oox country, with all diversity of climates and soil and products. The earth has yieldea a bountiful return to the labor of the husbandman; the health of tha peaple has been blighted by no preaieat or wide spread disease; no grat disaatera of shipwrecks upon onr ' coasts or to our commerce on the seas have broogHi loss and hardship to merchants or zna rincrs, and clouded the happiness ti the community, while sympathetic Bor row has been exhibited in all that con cerns our strength and people. This Is our greatness as a nation in that K touches the permanence of the govern ment and the beneficent institutions on whi:h it rests, in all that affects the charter and dispositions of oox people, and tests eur capaoity to enjoy ana uphold'tbe equal and free conditions of society now permanent and universal throughout theend. The experience of the last year is conspicuously marked by the protecting providence of God, ana is full of promise and hope for the coming generation. Under a sense of these infinite obligations to the Great Kuler of tides and seasons and events, let us humbly ascribe it ear own faults and frailties if in any degree that per feet cencord and happiness, peace and justice, which such great mercies should diffuse through tho hearts and lives of our people, do not altogether and al ways and everywhere prevail; let as, with one spirit and with one voice lift up praic and thanksgiving to God for his manifold blcasini; to our land his mauifet care for our nation. Now therefore, I, Kutberford It. Hayes, President of the United States, do ap point Thursday, the 2'Jth dav of No vember next, as a day of National Thanksgiving and prayer and I earn estly recommend that, withdrawing themselves from secular cares and la bor, the people of the United States do meet together on that day in their resiective places of worship, there to . . . . give liinnks and praise to Aimigmy God for His mercies. In witness whereof, I have hereunto net my band and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

They will pass each other, or in astro nomical language, will be in conjanc tion in right ascension on Saturday evening at 11 o'clock and 11 minutes, Mars passing over Saturn at a distance of 11 minutes ol an arc. A common telescope covering a field of about 30 minutes of an arc will of course, take in both ol thco celebrated bodies. Their common right ascension at the moment of passage will be 23d. 3m 33s. nearly. The declination south o one will be S dcr. 24m., and the other Sdeg. 11 min. nearly. Mars is going north at the rate of about 11 minutes of an arc per day, while Saturn is go ing south at the rate oi one-nan min ute tor Ibe same time. JJars rain in right ascension is above a minute of time, one-quarter of a degree per day, while Saturn is retrograding at the rata of about six seconds for the same time. The position of these bodies just now is in the coiiMellation Aquarius, and near the star, in the Psi-Chi group of uRh-magmtude stars. A third magni tude star, Delta, is about ten degrees south to the right, and two bright stars of the same magnitude. Gamma and Alpha, arc seen about eight de tiroes north and fifteen degrees to the right. The latter stars are what is called tha urn." or the "bottle." of the Water- bearer. The bright first magnitude star almost directly south from the planets is Fomslbaut, in the Southern r un, and almost overhead is tbe Snuare of 1 fjra-sus.

J 1 A lsV drfs 9 there came np from piantatit5a near Balefgh, N. C, Mrs. Oca. Green, a lady years ago well known in Washington society. She has not been in the Capital for many years. She ia crippled with rheumatism, and pool as Job's torkpy, she says, but I never had a more enjoyable conversa tion than this veteran of fashionable life. She took me into the past with her. "This old hotel," referring to the National, "is a historic flace. Here have been (he great men of the past. I haye seen Clay and Webster walk arm la arm op these tairs,and in a room oni this, floor Henry Clay' died. Those rooau opposite. ,the parlor were the Prasidant'a raosna, fjuchanan is the last one vhe lived there. Hamlin oc c&pied them awhile. These dark, quaint corridors, and circular lights over the doors, look just as they did, when, a bride, I first saw them. The frescoing, the painting on the walls, is unchadged. Tha fruit and flowers above the chan delier on tha brown ground, and the Biattdcnpldsinthe hall. Every face in tha house is strange to me. All my friends lare dead and gone. Mr. Crit tenden 1 can see new standing in the hall receing her friends after marriage. Her shoulders were superb; her dress elagaat, her manners charming, and by her side that little ugly man, with to bacco juice running from one corqer of his mouth, and his cravat twisted around under his ear. Aod Mnie. La. Vert was in her gltry here in those days. I was so ill one time that my life was despaired of. Into my room came Mme. Lavcrt. "I could not go, Mrs. Green, without showing you my lovely shoes." She lifted up her party dress, and daced about in her pink satin boots, and asked if they were not pretty, and last danced off like a fairy to her ballroom. I began to mend from the time I saw those she. Poor Mnic. La Veri died last year in poverty so bitter that she had not a cent to call her .own. Mrs. Crittenden last her beauty, was paralyzed and died not long ago. Mrs, Mills was a habitue of the hotel. She was yory rich, j Her daughter married Fernado Wood, and for this reason became so bitter that there was no communicrtion between mother and child, and she willed even her pictures ' to a gallery, so that Wood never should have them to sdorn his walls. Once sho sat in her carriage while I went in to call on her daugh ter. The carriage stood at a little dis tance. The elegant house wos crowded. It was reception day. When I reached the corriage Mrs. Mills said excitedly. 'How is se? How does she look? How did she receive you? What did she say?' 'Why don't yau go and see her yourself r I said, 'your own child how can pou be so bitter?' 'I will never go to see Alice so long as she is that man's wife. It is nothing to me ho she is, she said coldly, drawing her furs about her neck. Mrs. Wood is now insane, and Mrs. Mills fell from a hotel win dow and killed herself one Fourth of July two years ojro or thrae. That Tery Fourth I waa oa the plontatidn far from any neighbor. I made the ne rroes take turns rintooir the bisr dinner P bell that hanrs in the yard. I had flairs on tha noose and bonfires all night, and ..... .t. wl T . l. goae craxy shore, keepin' op that clat ter all day.' But I felt lonesome. 1 wanted to celebrate some way. The next night, three younr northern men came in the darkness up the lane to the noose.- s naa Deen siuisgsaone, yawn ing and waiting until the clock should count 8, so I could go to bed, for there is nothinr roing.on at night in that dismal .great house in the swamps. was sarpnsed to have visitors, for any body that knows the country don't go out after nirht If they can help it the roads are so dangerous. But these men had not been loogin tbo country, and they rode op. They said they had heard me speak of Mrs. Miller, and they bad got news that she was killed; and they started over right away to tell me. now remorseful I felt. 1 bad been riarinr bells and buruinc fire in the cypress brakes while my old friend was dying, mashed and bruised beyond recognition. They said Fernando came to aea her last before she died, bat she won Id not navw brm adsaiued. - In this hotel lived also Myra Gains, poor as a aaonoft, running ap bills to be paid w hen she caxoe iato inheritance. he owes Charles O'Cbnor about 175,000. She owas board bills evrry place in Wash ington, and he stare bias have been ma a lag for tweaiy-hve years, .On nirht she had been put out of a hotel. and I took her in with sne.

The penitentiary was then in a rather loose condition, and after serring a few months of his sentence, he escaped and started out on a fresh career. Ilea gain.got into trouble in IXwly con ty about two years later by shoot ing a white man It was not known that he had already been sentenced lor life, and be was again sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty years. He be- can to work out this sentence lixe a man, but soon tiring of it he again es caped, to commence a moro reckless an dependent life, lie next went to De Kalb county, where he broke into a house, lie was caught and tried and sentenced again to twenty years in the Penitentiary fr burglary in the night time, lie was put in tho hands of t?uiith. Riddle e Co.. who were then the lessees of the convicts, and d after months remaining in their charge some he cllVctcd his escape in spite of the closest watch on his movements. Once more free, Drasrsel found his way to Macon, where a burglary in the nirht time, unsuccesslully perlormeu, sub jected him to capture, another trial, and another sentence ot twenty years ana hard labor. This time he was carried to the Dade County Coal Mines. The irrepressible Jim could not 'be kept down in a coal mine; and in Jaaaary last he allected his escape, and besran his operations on a larger scale. It is known that be lias married at least three wives, two of whom lire ia Deca tur, and one was at his house at tne time of his capture. Most of hi es capes w ere made by a combination of cunning and the most desperate reck lessness More than once he ran bold lv in full view of tho euards.

There are saiJ to be several bullet marks on his bodv ;u a lasting evidence of his har row escapes, lie has been the hardest man to hold that has ever been in; the iteorgia penitentiary. His four sentences sura up the mous space of a hundred and fifty-nine vears, which he was condemned to serve in expiation of his crimes, or about the space ot live ordinary lives. mm m An Ant Fight. Jl': 3i interesting account of an engage ment between r party of red and black ants is related by a correspondent of the Ilr -t Sirr im: "Lut week, as I was coming in the gate," says the writer, ' my attention was attracted by seeing a stream of auts moving across' the walk, going iu a belt about four inches wide, aud uioviDg very rapidly., Of lhoc going ia one direction, each had a large ant egg iu its mouth. I follow ed the tinp y mouthed ones and found they were robbing a nest of red ants. The nct was about one foot across aad was coTcred with red and black ants engaged in a moat desperate battle the red auts trying to defend theic home from their thievish enemies. At times the an Is would form in their little sliding and rolling over tbe ground. 1 observed that the black ants that were engaged iu stealing took no part in the light, but weyuld seize the eggs and make fur their uwn hill, leaving the fighting to be done by the rest of tho band.
