By the Acting Governor. "TOM MAJORS." "I pity blind rage you seern to have fallen into, within the last few weeks, and deprecate the useless expenditure of muscle, paper ami ink, you seem to require in your effort to "read me out of the party," and allow me to suggest that should you meet with your moBt sanguine expectation (which is not likely) in having my successor named, as U. S. In't. Rev. Assessor, you have only succeeded in taking from me what I am ready at any moment to surrender up when it shall appear that a man who holds a Govern men tollice must stultify him self and sacrifice principle, which is the peerless fountain of our political faith, in the blindness of party rage by suoporting a man for an olllce of trust and honor who he knows to be void of both political and manly hon or, M THANKSGIVING DAT. To-day has been designated by the President of the United States, sup- plimented by a Proclaamation from our acting Governor, as a day of Thanks giving. Thanksgiving Day should never fail to present ideas to the mind of ev ery citizen, prolific of interest ideas connected not only with the present and'future, but retrospective. Retrospectivly The mind's eye of ihe thoughtful wanders back along the vista of the past, and loves to skip from present ago and position, to child hood days and the home of child hoodthe November days which greeted us with cold, bracing air, and earth's surface invited to rides after merry sleigh-bells when the frost Jeft its quaint outlines upon the window-paneswhen throughout the land peace and plenty abounded, nnd every table groaned beneath the weight of fine brown turkeys and geese, flanked on all sides with chick ua, biscuits, potatoes, &c, and the repast ended with pumpkin and mince pies, Tudian puddings, etc., washed down with genuine applo cider. Reader do you remember those " good old days ?" And then the evenings of those good old Thanksgiving's, when around the blazing fire-place, baskets of hickory, walnut or butter nuts were produced, and lads and lassIcB cracked, ate and played philo- peena therewith, while the old folks contented themselves in feasting their eyes upon their progeny as they en joyed themselves. Grand-mothers, not ns perfect then, perhaps, as now, in pumping music out of pianos and melodeons, sat In tho corner with their inevitable knitting, their old hearts filled with reflections of duties per form ed and hopes of a blessed hereaf ter. Grand-father, too, with hands as well as face presenting evidence of toll, told stories of the early days of the Republic, each story breathing patriotic morals. Then the parting of visiting friend, the fervid " God bless you!" of the old folks, the hearty. loving kld3 of the girls, and the honest hand-shake of the young men. Then tho retiring prayers around the fam ily alter. Oh ! who can fail being refreshed with the soft aud soothing gales of memory which such retro spective reflections Invariably pro duced? who can fail to feel the touch of mother's lips upon his or her own as she withdrew, candle in hand, from tho little chamber and hear the words " good night my dear?" Those days have passed those mothers have passed too but memory, blessed memory, still holds its seat in our domes of thought. Present Thauksglving The word strikes responsive chords in the hearts of all. We have as a people, and na tion, much to be thankful for. Grim visaged war is neither seen nor felt within our borders the Angel of Peace hovers o'er us the Stars and Stripes shine even more resplendent ly than ever before, and the " Junior State" stands out In the galaxy with n more winsome face than any of her sisters. Then we are, or should be, thankful that we were born in this day end generation, when man's humani ty to man has plainly yet unostenta tiously proclamed itself, as evidenced in the late fires at Chicago and the North West, when the red billows rolled heavenward and their " break ers, talked with death." Ere the fires had smouldered, aud while; yet the smoke rolled in dense volumes over tho smitten sections, monetary and other essential aid arived and the hearts of the fortunate became inter locked with those of the unfortunate. Future That peace promises to abide with us that the monarchies of the old world tremble on their bases as the chrous of our redeemed people strike upon and waft through the air, and touch upon the cars of the downtroden of every country. The festival of Thanksgiving, was established two hundred and fifty years ago. Relative to it Harry, in his History of Massa chusetts, remarks, "the corn yielded well and the barley was indifferently good, but the peas was a failure owing to the drought aud late sowing. Sat isfied, however, with the abundance of their fruits, four hunters were sent after ftuit, and at their return, after a special manner, the Pilgrims rejoiced together, feasting King Massasoit and ninety men for three days, and par taking of vension, with turkeys, water owls, and other delicacies for which Aew England was then famous." ue doubt not all the sanctuaries of ur dty will to open tQ.dayt an(J theJr tiivepuiplta filled Dlvina Pr. L wH be attended by crar citizens Thus spake "Tom Mnjors" through the columns of the Advertiser last week, which paragraph being ad dressed to us, "in tho spirit of kind ness" as we were assured, we, in the same spirit, propose inditing a few lines in response. "Tom," you were one of the first men with whom we became acquaint ed after arriving in Brownville, and you evinced an earnest desire that we should locate here and take charge of the Advertiser, giving as your rea son that in times past this journal was subject to kick out of the party traces and thus work into the hands and Interest of the Democracy. It was thus that you accounted to us for the best offices in the county being held by Democrats. In our negotia tions for the purchase of the Adver tiser we had your sympathy and support. After being installed as ed Itor and associate proprietor, we had many conversations with you, and you publicly stood up in public meet ings as sponsor for the primary elec tion system. With you, we regret that the first trial of said system was not made without the intervention of Democrats, but it is idle for you to say that said intervention secured the nomination of one. or other of the candidates. The fact is palpable, ren dered even tangible, by your letter, that in your opposition to William Daily, you were actuated solely by personal animosities. Thie is so evi dent and incontrovertible that a blind man could feel it with a stick. The result of the election did not have the effect of throwing us into a "blind rage," neither have our "san guine expectations" centered upon your decapitation, and having your "successor named." We but perform ed our duty as a public journalist, in recording the result of the late elec tion, and of attributing to you the credit (?) of defeating the Republican ticket. As for your official head we have but this to say, that in our judg ment the man who will sacrifice prin ciple for spite sake, who will desert his ranks when going into action be cause he does'nt happen to like his file leader or color sergeant, is un worthy the patronage of a party and deserves to be court martialed. Be fore the nomination of William Dai ly, "Tom," you professed to have "Ich Dien" emblazoned upon your banner; when William, for whom you cherished an old grudge, was nominated, you rode the county over in the interest of Daily's opponent with rule or ruiti upon your mutinous pennon. And, as an evidence of the tenability of our position touching your treachery every paper of charac ter in the State has expressed itself in terms such as we employed, and seve ral in much plainer Saxon. Wherein you differ, from us "Tom" Is, that while we profess Republican ism wo will be true to our faith while we hold to the principles of the party we will follow the chosen rep resentatives of said principles and party. As to the portion of your epistle touching William Daily and yourself, we will not interpose asinglesentence excepting to say, that the primary election system was adopted to meet just such cases, to close up all old acores and open new record books, and you stated in opei. meeting of the party that such was your desire to re store harmony in our ranks that you would accept the system and in good faith abide its results and at another time you told us that there was no member of the party with whom you would not shake hands and work with to restoro good feeling. You proved false to such pledges and now occupy the position of the man in the fable who had the wolf by the ears. In your closing paragraph, "Tom," it seems to us that you have mistaken wind on your stomach for patriotism. You say that when Grant is re-nonii-nated all the "Majorse" emitted to We eeize upon a new Faber to Chroiclo the laying of the first rail on the B. fc Ft. K. R. R. which event took place at 2 o'clock, on last Tues day afternoon, the first spike being driven by Supt. Atkinson, amid the cheers of the multitude present. Teams are now busy in conveying rails and construction cars across the ice bridge, a large force is employed on the road bed, and every thing, de spite the weather, goesas merry as a string of sleigh bells with the B. & Ft. K. R. R. The truth is, this important avenuo Id in the hands of men who have the practical and financial ability to push it through to a sure and speedy com pletion, and they are intent on testing their energies In this enterprise. m mm OCR HIGH SCHOOL. Last Monday morning was a bitter cold one. At day-light the thermom eter indicated 5 degrees below zero. At 9 o'clock a. m. the mercury had risen to 10 degrees above that point, and we concluded to visit ur high school and gleau for ourself how much truth or falsity there was in the report that between smoke and cold the children of that institution were suffering. Arriving bef. re the ringing of the bell we found the pu pils of the several rooms chit-chatting in groups, the atmosphere in all the rooms being cheery aud agreeable, save In Mrs. Ebright's department, where owing to the fact that the room below bad no fire in it the floor was cold and the little ones complained some of cold feet. In that room a stove should be put up. Upon inquirj we learned that when the furnace was originally introduced into the school house, some of the plainest and simplest principles of philosophy were violated, and that such amendments as were practicable had been made, and that now there is little or no cause for complaint. Occa sionally, owing to the fact that the flues were not originally designed for the transmission of hot air, smoke is conveyed into the room, but this oc curs but seldom and provokes but lit tle annoyance. And certainly no one possessed of ordinary observing facul ties can fall appreciating the fact that hot air conveyed into rooms as well ventilated as are those of our high school, is much more healthy to in hale than that radiated by a stove which is, at best, unwholesome. Notwithstanding the extreme cold, a very full attendance was reported in all the rooms. We again had the pleasure of feeing (we insist upon the use as well as cor rectness of this word) Prof. Dye put the pupils in Prof. Rich's room through a course of musical studies, and of hearing the voices of the boys and girls attuned to the airs marked out oil the black-board, and regretted our inability to make extended visits to the several rooms, but will avail our.ielf of the first opportunity to do so.

Since your late performance this sounds to us like the artioulated rumblings of disordered intestines, and while you and yours may be for Grant, perhaps among the many other aspirants for place Governor, M. C, etc., some man for whom you hae no love may be presented, in which case, taking the past as a criterion for and of the future, you will of course bolt, while we will be found true to the Republi can decalogue, "thou shalt not bolt." Thus, hurriedly, have we reviewed your position, "Tom," and in a "spir it of kindness," rathr than blind rage. In conclusion our advice is, ac knowledge your error, then "go and sin no more," that thy days may be long in the "noble party," in nnd un der which you hold office.

Nebraska City, Nov 24th, '71. Mr. Editor: The Otoe County Teachers Institute has to-day closed its session at this place. It has been quite largely attended by teachers from the city aud country, and by quite a numberof prominent educators from abroad. Prominent and intelli gent gentlemen say that it is has been the best Institute ever held here. On Tuesday evening State Supt. Mi-Kenzie delivered a practical and excellent address on the characteris tics and duties of the Teacher, full of pertinent nnd valuable suggestions. Wednesday evening. Rev. Dr. Morgan of your piace, delivered a finished and ableaddre.-son "Dr. Arnold, of Rug by" too good, by fur, to be consigned to a barrel of dusty manuscripts. Ly ceums and Institutes should call upon him for its frequent repetition in dif ferent parts of the State. Thursday evening, the Principal of the State Normal School of Peru, ad. dressed the Institute on the " Mutual Relations of Teacher and Emploj-er" of the character of which others must speak. Friday evening. Chancellor Benton, of the State University at Lincoln, de livered an able and dignified address on the Self Culture demanded for the Teacher, which was well received and spoken of on all hands. The day-time was occupied with addresses, lectures, discussions and class-drills, on various topics, with constantly increasing in erest; so that on Friday night, the time advertised for its close, the Institute voted to continue Saturday forenoon, and the interest nnd attendance at this extra session were uo less th.-.n at any time seems a great pity that our County Institute should be " indefinitely post poned." Will It be altogether credi table to the county, or to the promi nent educators In it? I do not feel at liberty to more than suggest, but I certainly hope that the " indefinite postponment" will speedily be recon sidered, and that we shall have, not only an Institute, but the best one In the State the best attended, the most enthusiastic, the best conducted, and with the best reaults.

To this an editor responds ; "The w riter evidently nev er experienced the childish rapture of descending the stairs by sliding down the banisters.
