Thanksgiving.
Gratitude is a sentimeut universally diffused
through all the ranks of animated na.ure. The
satisfaction of their material wants exacts it even
from the inferior orders of the animal creation,
and we hardly need the exaggeration of poetry to
teach us that the care we bestow upon the tender
plant, in forest or garden, is rewarded, in obedience
to this principle, by the luscious autumn fruit or
the breezy summer shade. Certainly, it is one of
the elements and instincts of humanity. Original,
spontaneous, we cannot suppress its promptings
even in response to the common kindness of a
friend. We look for its exhibition on all proper
occasions with such assured confidence, that its
absence fills us with mingled feelings of disgust
and horror. He who can be the recipient of anoth
er’s bounty, without being warmed and exhilarated
by the stirrings of this noble sentimeut, is degrad
ed beneath the contempt of the virtuous and the
good. Bereft of it, man would be selfish, grovel
ling and cruel, without an object beyond tbe grat
ification of his sensual appetites, and society, if we
•could imagine its existence, would be cold, dull,
motionless. But it is not only in the individual
and personal life of man, that occasion and scope
are found for the development and exercise of this
principle. his ,social und iifitionu.l existence
presents its amplest opportunity and sublimest re
cognition. Pensions, honors and knightly deco
rations, representatives of the gratitude of kings,
reward the achievements of heroic effort and dis
ciplined valor, while patriotic self-devotion and
sacrifice in the cause of liberty and truth evokes
universal sympathy, and unresistingly commands
the grateful homage of the brave and good. If
such be our disposition towards human benefac
tors, with what overflowing gratitude should we,
as a nation, acknowledge the kindness and pro
tection of Him whose kingdom is above our king
dom—who reigns above the cedars and the stars.
Surely, no people on the earth has greater cause
for thanksgiving than ourselves. Our domestic
and inter-national relations arc those of peace.—
The present has been a year of unusual, if not un
precedented, prosperity, with all our industrial
pursuits. The blistered hand of honest labor
may, for a season, wear the glove of purchased
rest. The agriculturist, the merchant, the me
chanic, the artisan, each rejoices in his abundant
reward, and the canvass-winged messengers of
our lucrative commerce return, laden with the
riches of every clime. Let us not indulge the fa
tal delusion, that all these blessings are the bene
factions of chance, and have no connection with
the Divine appointments. He, who watches the
flight of the sparrow and counts the hairs of our
heads, who caters for the worm and bids the wild
flower reveal its glories to the toiling bee—surely
He, is not indifferent to the aims and destinies of
nations. Let us, then, declare a truce, for to-day,
to the strife for wealth and honor and go up to His
temple, to render our devout acknowledgements
for His manifold favors. Let the steeples of our
churches treiuble with the “brazen passion,” and,
as the earnest, mystic music floats upon the morn
ing air, let it summon us to thanksgiving and
holy meditation.
Senator Douglas’ Ovation at Washington.
We see, says the Charleston Mercury, that a
subscription list is being handed round in Wash
ington, to commemorate, by’ a suitable entertain
ment, the triumph of Senator Douglas in Illinois.
We published, some time since, the statements of
Mr. Isaac 11. Sturgeon, as to an interview sought
by Mr. Douglas, last winter, with Frank P. Blair,
Jr., the black republican representative in Con
gress from the city of St. Louis, Missouri, after
he had manifested his treachery to the democratic
party and the South on the Kansas issue. Those
in the South who had supported Douglas, were
rather dumb as to this new testimony, or denied
that it was true. Tho fact that the New York
Tribune and Senator Seward supported the re
election of Douglas, we should suppose would have
been quite sufficient to satisfy any Southern man
that they must have had satisfactory assurances
from Douglas to justify their support, and there
fore that nothing was more probable than the
statements of Mr. Sturgeon. Douglas, it seems,
denied their truth, and this has brought out the
letter from Mr. Blair, we publish below. The let
ter proves him a regular abolitionist in combina
tion with the aboiitionists of Missouri, plotting the
substitution of Mr. Green, in the Senate by an abo
litionist, and the emancipation of the slaves in
Missouri. This is the man whom Gov. Wise, in
a patriotic spasm of enthusiasm, mourned over the
fetters which bound him to Virginia, and disabled
him from going to aid in Illinois, and Mr.
Stephens, of Georgia, denounced the Administra
tion for not upholding as guilty of “wicked fool
ishness.” If such are the i cise friends of the
South, where are her enemies?
DOUGLAS AND THE BLACK REPUBLICANS.
Sir: A statement appeared in the Jefferson
Examiner, of recent date,-making certain grave
charges against Judge Douglas, in which my name
was involved. Up to this period certain consid
erations forbade my making any response, al
though I have been frequently urged to do so. I
learn since, however, from the Senator’s speech,
delivered at Boonviile, Illinois, that he denies the
truth of those assertions, and at other times and
other places he reiterates the denial, and to give it
an apparent sincerity, he indirectly calls for the
proof. I deem that I am now at liberty to state all
that I know in relation to this matter, which has
taken hold upon the public mind.
Ist. It is true that Judge Douglas did send me
a message by Mr. Colfax, of Indiana, in substance
the same as that charged upon him by the Exami
ner, viz : “Tell Mr. Blair to come and see me ; I
wish to give him James S. Green’s place in the
United States Senate.”
2d. It is true that I did write a letter to B.
Gratz Brown, Esq., of St. Louis, and that that
letter was written in accordance with the wishes
of Judge Douglas himself.
3d. And it is true, that there was an under
standing, perfect and complete, between Judge
Douglas and several prominent members of the
republican party, the aim and scope of which I am
not obliged to divulge. My personal interview
with the distinguished Senator, to which his mes
sage to me referred, had reference to the success of
the Emancipation Party in Missouri.
I have stated enough to substantiate the charg
es made public through the columns of the Exami
ner, and repeated in a letter from the pen of Isaac
H. Sturgeon, Esq., of St. Louis: and, bearing in
mind what had transpired at the interview between
Judge Douglas and myself, and the understand
ing arrived at and agreed upon between him and
other prominent members of the republican party,
both in the East and in the West, I confess that'l
was not prepared to hear of the Senator’s demon
stration of joy over my defeat in thia district.
Very respectfully,
FRANK P. BLAIR, J*.
MILLEDGEVILLE CORRESPONDENCE.
Mili.edgevillf., Nov. 23.
Messrs. Editor s — In the house to-day, there
was an animated discussion upon the subject of
appointing a committee to locate the site fora
University, which consumed themorning.
In the Senate, the question of .striking out the
provision in the Constitution, preventing the im
portation of Africans was discussed with much
ability—Messrs. Atkinson, Billups Slaughter,
and Whitaker advocating the erasure of so objec
tionable a clause in our coustitution, and Messrs.
Thomas, Paine, Spalding, Tucker, and Reynolds
speaking in the negative. Without disparaging
the efforts of any of these gentlemen, we cannot
but commend thee speech of Mr. Slaughter of
Dougherty, as the most able of any we have heard
in this branch of the General Assembly. He re
viewed the whole question;showing the sentiments
of our fathers towards slavery when this clause
was inserted; the object it had in view at that
time; that we could not defend the title of our
property in slaves without defending tbe slave
trade; that the clause was inoperative and
void as it stood; that there should not be a Con
stitutional restriction against the trade; that the
question had nothing to do with the policy of re
opening the Slav e trade. The debate occupied
the whole day, and was finally settled by a vote
of 46 ayes to 47 nays—not a constitutional ma
jority.
The Governor’s Levee comes off to-morrow ev
ening. Among the visitors here are the Hou’bls;
L. Q. C. Lamar of Mississippi; 31. J. Crawford,
James Jackson, and Henry R. Jackson. C.
From the N. O. Picayune, 21st.
Arrival of the Steamship Quaker City,
South-West Pass, Nov. 20.
The Tehuantepec Company’s steamship Qua
ker City, Capt. Shuffieldt, from Minatitlan, has
arrived.
She brings advices from tbe Isthmus of Tehuan
tepec of the 17th, and the California mails of the
sth instant.
The trip to California. —The trip from
New Orleans to San Francisco can be made in less
than twelve days easily.
The Isthmus Route. —Everything is pro
gressing favorably on the Isthmus.
All but twenty five miles at this end of the
road is in good running order for coaches.
Mules are yet used from Suchil to Almoyola,
and coaches are on tbe road thence to Ventosa.
- All who have passed over the Istraus are char
med with the scenery on the route.
There are twenty coaches running on the Isth
mus.
The Civil War with Mexico. —The Liberal
party still have possession of the Isthmus, not
withstanding the intrigues of the Zuloagistas.
Six of the Zuloagistas were publicly shot at
Tehuantepec, on the morning of the 6th inst.
The Liberals, in Tabasco, are still uppermost.
They have taken the small war steamship Guer
rero from the Zuloagistas.
California. —The advices from San Francisco
are to the sth instant.
There had been heavy rains. The weather
was cold, ana there was snow on the mountains.
Business in California was reviving.
The United States Circuit Court had granted
an injunction forbidding the New Almaden Quick
silver Mining Company working the mines.—
These mines are claimed by the United States,
arevalufed at ten millions of dollars, and yield an
annual income of one million.
A suit had been instituted in the United States
! District Court against the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, for carrying an excess of passengers
in their vessels. Damages laid at $136,000.
The Fraser river adventurers from California,
were fast returning to the golden State.
A society had been formed for the encourage
ment of the emigration of Spanish Amercans
from California to Sonora in Mexico.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Times says that “the Treasury Department is en
gaged in collecting facts and figures from vari
ous custom houses, bearing upon the relative mer
its of the alternative systems of specific and ad
valorem duties. For instance, the New York
custom house is called upon to state what rate of
specific duties on various staple articles would be
equivalent to the ad valorem duty now collected
on the same. Some of the most experienced offi
cers of the customs are beginning to urge the
adoption by the United States Government of
the British system of combining specific with ad
valorem duties. Take for example, two shawls,
one costing five dollars and the other five hund
red dollars. The [system would levy a
specific duty of (say) two dollars upon each
shawl, and to that sum add ad valorem duty be
sides. It is claimed that this system would be
more equal than any other and secure more reve
nuc.”
Trout House.
We observe that Thos. Gannon, late proprietor
of the Trout House, in Atlanta, has retired from
that establishment, and is succeeded by Dr. J. D.
Boyd, well known front his connection with the
Charleston Hotel. We have found Mr. Gannon
a most obliging landlord, and we wish him suc
cess in whatever pursuit he may engage. The
Trout House is favorably located, and a well con
structed hotel, and we have no doubt, Dr. Boyd
will find it a profitable business.
From Utah. —The New York Times has from
its correspondent, a week's later news from Utah.
Specie having been nearly all withdrawn from
circulation in the Territory, the Tithing Offiee
has accumulated an immense store of grain, the
Mormons having paid their tithes in that com
modity. News had been received at the camp of
the army of a tragedy enacted at Los Angelos,
between twelve deserters from the army. Three
of the men, led on by one Burns, formerly of the
Tenth Infantry, had murdered the other nine in
order to get possession of their money. Burns
then proceeded to cut the throats of his two ac
complices, one of whom died. The other surviv
ed, and gave evidence which led to the arrest of
the murderer.
Thanksgiving. —Thursday was observed as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer in the States of
New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, by ap
pointment of their several Executives. The great
body of the States will, however, unite in observ
ing the 25th inst. Of these there are 23 in
all, besides tbe District of Columbia. They are :
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island. Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, North
I aroliua. South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Miss
issippi, J lorida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
M tseonsin, Illinois, Michigan, lowa, Ohio, Min
nesota, Indiana, Washington, D. C. Thanksgiv
ing in Vermont takes place on the 2d of Decem
ber. There are but five States in which appoint
ments bate not yet been made, viz., Arkansas,
California, Louisiana, Texas and Virginia.
Medary, of Ohio, has signi
fied his willingness to accept the Governorship of
Kansas, which was tendered him a week ago,
A Prediction.
One of the coolest and closest observers of politi
cal auguries writes us the following from Charles
ton South Carolina:
“I wish you to record this opinion dow in 1858,
and compare it with the facts to be evolved be
tween this and 1864. The Southern League has
not yet defined its plan of action or its ultimatum;
but whatever else it does or demands, it will finally
come to this pi ogramine. The existing slave
trade laws will be declared what they really are,
unconstitutional and void, and the inherent right
of each sovereign State left to decide for itself
what class of laborers it will admit or reject, or
the Southern States will withdraw from the
Union.
“I also predict that the disruption will -be effac
ed in the way suggested by the late Senator Rusk.
Supposing the question of State Rights to be de
cided in Congress against the South on any dis
tinct issue in which the sense of the Southern
people-can be relied upon, all her Representatives
in Congress shall withdraw from the Capitol in a
body, and take with them the Southern members
of the Cabinet, and thus leave Congress without
a quorum for business, and the Executive with a
mutilated corps of advisers. This was General
Rusk’s plan for dissolving the existing Govern
ment, and forcing upon the sectionalists of the
Nort h the onus of coming some distance and mak
ing war on Southern ground, if they attempted to
conquer the Southern States back to the Union by
down right force.
“On the ultimatum of leaving to each State the
exercise of her sovereign right to permit or pro
hibit the traffic in African laborers, the South will
show a united front by 1864, and its Representa
tives will be forced to withdraw in mass from the
halls of Congress if the North votes it down when
the case is fairly put for the repeal of the uncon
stitutional ‘slave-trade act/ ”
This startling position might he passed by
without notice, did we not see these ideas surging
up with a steadily increasing sharpness through
out the Southern States.
This is the reaction of Northern intervention in
the social conditions of the South, and it may yet
tell disastrously on the manufacturing and com
mercial sections of the ( lion. W e see the mut
terings of the coniine -.uim in the bitter comments
of the Southern pro* on the absurdity of employ
ing our navy at tin behest of England to suppress
the slave-trade, \v ileshe is importing coolies and
France Africans, t) create rival empires of pro
duction on our borders, and no one can foretell
the final result of this deep discontent.— Washing
ton States.
The Devastation and Buzzard.
By a Singular coincidence, H. B. M/s war
steamers Devastation and Buzzard, which are now
detailed to co-operate with our naval force before
San Juan to intercept “any considerable body of
Americans who may attempt to emigrate to Nica
ragua,” are the very vessels that were sent down
in 1854 by 11. B. M/s Government to forbid the
Dominicans making a treaty with the United
States.
The Jamaica papers announced at that time
that the errand of the Devastation was to “pro
hibit any arrangements between the Dominican
Republic and the United States by which that
greedy and grasping Republic should secure a
naval station in the central and commanding Bay
of Samana.”
It was intimated, at the same time, that Mr.
Marcy, then Secretary of State, had receded from
the Monroe doctrine, and the result proved that
the British colonial press was better informed than
our own people on that head, for the French and
British ministers here forced him to abandon the
Cazneau treaty, which gave us a coal depot and
mail station, while those powers forced upon the
Dominican Government the “protocol of 1854,”
by which Americans were, and ape, virtually ex
cluded from tlie Dominican soil.
The Isthmus policy of 1858 is the simple and
inevitable sequence of our recreancy in the Do
minican question of 1854; and of our weak sub
mission to the Anglo-Costa Rican seizure of the
Nicaragua Transit In 1856.
While the pro-English party in Congress is
strong enough to suffocate investigation, and vote
down the demands of the Executive for power to
redress such grievous w’rongs, they will be persis
ted in, and the piratical Devastation and foul Tur
key Buzzards of England, will continue to prey
upon American interests.— II r ashington States.
The types played some extraordinary pranks
last week. They brought up the Wave from Apa
lachicola with a heavy freight on only three and a
half inches water, when she was thought to have
done remarkably well in making the trip on that
number of feet. They also made Gov. Hammond
a Senator from North Carolina. We should be
quite resigned ourself to his being transferred even
farther north than that, but such a change how
ever unobjectionable in itself, the types had no
right to make, at least without consulting the
Legislature of the good old north State.

How Fugitive Slaves are Sustained in
Canada. —lt is reported by the Londonderry
(Ireland) Journal, of the 27th October last, that
the “Londonderry Dorcas Association,” (compos
ed of ladies) sent over to Canada, recently, a large
quantity of clothing for the fugitive slaves from
the United States, and will shortly renew the sup

Cotton in Texas. —The reports from the inte
rior indicate heavy frosts in all parts of the State,
and the planters are now busy saving their last
pickings in the cotton field. Although recent
storms have destroyed a good deal of unpicked
cotton, yet the loss does not appear to be a serious
one, and we yet put our figures at three-quarters
of a full crop, or very nearly an average crop for
the whole State. In some portions of Eastern
Texas, not more than a third to a half a bale to
the acre has been secured, while in others the av
erage crop is above half a bale. In the central
and southern regions, within a hundred and fif
ty miles of tbe Gulf, the range is from two-thirds
of a bale to a lull bale to the acre, while in the
upper, middle portions of the State, it is again
from half to three-quarters of a bale. The entire
crop of the State cannot be under 300,000 bales.
The provision crops are everywhere very large,
and the whole people are rejoicing in plenty. The
sugar crop is turning out better than was expect
ed, and will, we are led to believe, average, if tbe
cane is not prematurely frozen, from SOO to 900
pounds of sugar to the acre, which is three-quar
ters of a full crop, and really, the full crop in an
average of ten years.— Houston Telegraph 12 tk

The American Consul in Manchester.—
The association of cotton planters in the State of
Georgia, United States, have elected Mr. Baylor,
the American Consul in Manchester, honorary
member, and appointed him their foreign corres
pondent to promote in Europe the object of the
association, which is to establish free and direct
trade between the cotton States and the manufac
turers of Europe. This is the first note of prepa
ration of the free-trade party of the South to re
sist the eneroacements of the protection party,
which is now organized to increase the tariff this
winter at the next Congress.— European Times.
A good anecdote of Professor Agassiz is
told in anew volume in press, at Boston. The
Professor had declined to deliver a lecture before
some lyceum or public society 7 on account of the
inroads which previous lectures given by him had
made upon his studies and habits of thought.— I
The gentleman who had been deputed to invite !
him, continued to press the invitation, assuring
him that the society were ready to pay him liber- j
ally for his services. “That is no inducement to j
me,” replied Agassiz, “I cannot afford to waste
my time in making money,”
Escape from the Camanches— Wonderful
Escape. —Nelson Lee arrived last Thursday in i
Albany, N. Y. In March, 1856, Mr. Lee, aecom- I
panied by 27 white men, when on his way from
Texas for California, was attacked by the Caman- ‘
ches, who butchered 24 of the number on the field,
and killed two of the survivers the day after the :
fight. Wm. Aikin, one of the two, was carried
off by a portion of the tribe, and Mr. Lee’s life
was spared because the Indians could not manage
bis repeating watch without his aid. In the camp
were 23 captive white wozaea and 10 or 40 •hil
dren, one of the former Anna Haskin, was bru
tally murdered during his captivity. While ac
companying the chief to a distant lodge, Lee
managed to kill the Indian, and mounting his
horse, after severe suffering he reached Mexico,
where he was kindly treated and furnished with
means to reach his home.

A king for Cuba.
A friend, almost direct from the Court of Mad
rid, aud whose tine attainments and high social
position enables him to approach the highest per
sonages of the Spanish Court, has furnished us
with some curious cabinet whisperings of anew
“holy alliance.”
France has taken up Cuban independence, and,
with England, is proposing to erect Cuba aud
Porto Rico into a semi-independent monarchy, on
paying a “renta” to Spain equivalent to the re
venue now received from the ever faithful isle.
This “renta” is to represent the interest on a na
tional debt, to be assumed by the new monarchy,
in consideration of her independence, the debt and
“renta” to be assured by France and England as
a bond for the non-annexation of Cuba to the
United States.
France likes the monarchy idea, but not the
monarch selected by England. Queen Christina
andperfide Albion want Montpensier, the husband
of Christina’s second daughter. That ambitious
woman has been plotting for years to plant the
Duchess of Montpensier on an American throne.
Mexico failed her and now she is bidding for Cu
ba; but “Napoleon the Arbiter”—arbiter he is of
Spain and England—opposes her plans. He has
himself suggested to leading Cubans—or his
agents have done it for him—that he is disposed
to “mediate with Spain for the independence of
Cuba under a prince of her own ;” but not with
a prince of the rival royalty of France. A prince
ol his own blood, which, as he once remarked, is
“American by his grand-mother Josephine,” might
wed the little princess royal of Spain under a
general European guarantee, and extinguish for
ever the Yankee dream of annexation.
Some plan is in agitation for “establishing Cu
ba beyond the reach of the Yankees,” and has
been dimly hinted at both by the Spanish aud
French court journals many times during the last
few months; and we know that our Cabinet can
not be ignorant of the fact. The American Isth
mus is to be Europeanized out of the reach of fair
and peaceful settlement by our people, and it will
be tbe business of our Cabinet and the pro-En
glish party in Congress to arrest armed expedi
tions to Central America. Ou the same excuses,
they have crushed out every attempt to aid the
Cuban emancipation until the Isthmus shall be as
safely beyond the pale of Americanization as Cu
ba is to-dav. The people are scarcely aware of
the fact yet, but Cuba is already lost and the
Isthmus not far from a like fate.— Washington
States.
Valuable Official Information. —The tel
egraph informs us that Collector Schell has offic
ially informed the Secretary of tbe Treasury that
the importations will increase next month to
such a degree as to render any increase of the tar
iff unnecessary. Where Mr. Schell obtained this
information is not stated; perhaps he is going to
import the goods himself.— Providence Journal.
The New York correspondent of the Boston
Post says :
Next week will be one of fashionable marria
ges, Miss Sarah Hoffman is to be married to Vi
comte Jules Treelhard, first Secretary of the
French embassy at Washington, on Wednesday,
and Miss Foulkc to Mr. Neilson, on Friday. Our
American heiresses, j-ou sec, continue to strength
en the decaying finances of the fallen nobility of
France, and, we trust, carry at the same time, a
little American independence into the convention
alities of European high life.
It is rumored that there are not less than eight
connubially inclined Secretaries and attaches still
unprovided with wives, and fifty (according to
another authority, fifty-five) American belles and
beiressses are now competing for their preference.
White Slavery. —The English Parliamentary
evidence of the condition of the dressmakers’ ap
prentices in London, shows that in ordinary times
eighteen hours a day is the allotted time for work,
and during the height of the season, young girls
are only allowed four hours repose, when they are
roused to resume their toil. Strong coffee is ad
ministered to enable them to ply their needle for
twenty hours, without relaxation.
According to the New York Express, the state
of things, though not so bad in New York, is bad
enough, where caps are made at a shilling a dozen,
pantaloons at fifteen cents a pair, shirt bosoms at
fourteen cents a dozen, and shirts at five cents
each. There are eighty thousand working wo
men in the city of New York, not all working at
these rates, according to the Express, are com
pelled to work for nominal sums, whilst their em
ployers riot in wealth.
Novel Bequest. —The will of the late Judge
Wm. Jay, of Westchester County, N. Y. just made
public, contains the following : ,
“I bequeath to my son one thousand dollars in
trust, to be applied by him, at his discretion,
in promoting the safety and comfort of fugitive
slaves.”
