Thankegiving in New York, New England, and other States. To-day the ancient and honorable custom of observing 8 day of thankagiving and prayer, which was instituted and made sacred by the Puritans of New England, will | be celebrated in New York, the six Eastern States, Ken- | tucky, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Indiana, | Tennessee, Iowa, and Texas. As appropriate reading for the day we present below extracts from a number of the executiye proclamations appointing the time for this welcome thanksgiving festival:— \. BY HORATIO SEYMOUR, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. An acknowledgment of our dependence upon God, and of our obligations to Him, is at all times the duty. of a Christian people. But when the Almighty has again crowned the year with his goodness, we are one - ing the gathered fruits of his bounty, it is eminently fitting that we should offer the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. I therefore appoint Thursday, the 30th day November, for this appropriate service; ‘and invite the citizens of the State to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship to present their acknowledgments to the Parent of the Universe for his maltipli And with our thanksgiving let us mingle prayers for a continuance of the numberless blessings we, enjoy, remembering that His wisdom alone can rightly direct—His power support, and His goodness give strength and security. In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed the privy seal of the State, at [1.8] the city of Albany, this tenth day of Novem. ber, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-four.

Such were the manifestations of God’s ancient people, when, in his sen- sible presence, they lifted up their voices in a nat anthem. Such was the feeling with which the men of New England, in a scarcely leas conscious munion with the Most High, came together at peri 1 mercy, and in the of general prosperity or of ‘sp congregation offered to him their sacrifice of praise. And such are the offerings which this favored communi- ty shouli now bring before Him. The season has been crowned with His goodness.

While the physical wants of the community have been supplied, the great ends of civil government have not been sufler- ed to fail; under the guardianship of wise laws, the peo- ple have teposed in safety. Our schools and colleges have been accomplishing their work in the education of the young, and the Christian religion in its power has been seen in the lives and con- duct of men, restraining vice and turning the sinner to repentance.’ The cause of human freedom has gained new strength from trials, and, in the light of God's Providence, we may be assured of its ultimate triumph. While these blessings have been showered upon this community, there are few who have not shared in these bounties of Providence. Few are the homes to whose in- mates poverty denies the means of enjoying the return of that holiday which our fathers inaugurated, and their posterity have consecrated to the rites of hospitality and the reunion of scattered households. To celebrate the goodness which has marked the clo- | sing year, to render the devout tribute of grateful hearts to the author of all good, to cherish the love of country. and strengthen the ties that bind society together, an to foster the kindlier instincts of our nature, that minis- ter tu each otber’s wants, I do, by and with the consent of the Council, appoint Thursday, the thirtieth day of November current, as a day of pablic Tuanksgiving and And I do earnestly recommend that the people shonld Assemble in their respective pl: nd ina spirit which He shall approve, dedicate : hip of Almighty God.’ And. while all the aifairs ot 1 and devoutly ask for blessing: and for (he hastening of that of the Lord shall fil the who! tion and tongue th all thanksgiving, BY NATHANIBL B.

BY STEPHEN ROYCE, OF VERMONT. The year draws to its close. The seed time and the harvest are passed, and the laborers are returned from the fleld, bringing with them the plenteous fruits of the season, sufficient for man and beast. God has blessed the people of this State with health and prosperity, and crowned the year with his goodness. To express our gratitude as a Christian and an enlight- ened people, to the Author of all good and the Giver of all blessings, and to perpetuate a goodly cnstom of our ancestors, { do hereby appoint Thursday, the thirtieth y of November instant, to be observed by the citizens of this State as a day of ‘public thanksgiving, prayer, and praise. f Duty and propriety enjoin us to lay aside our ordinary labors on that day; that we refrain from every irra- tional indulgence and every unworthy amusement, aud with willing and grateful hearts assemble in our respec- tive houses of worship, there to offer devout praise to Him kindness is over all his works. y let us praise God for the freedom and for the su; whose lovin; On that justneas of our government laws ; for the protection d property of all citizens of our commonwealth ; the rewards and enco ments that honest labor re- seives ; for the beneficent influences of our institutions of cbarity and learning; and above all, for the preva- lence of the Christian religion. Let thanks be offered to our Heavenly Father, that he fit to grant to the citizens of this State so ba measure of health while the pestilence that th in darkness hasso grievously afflicted many rts of our land; that, while other lands are disturbed and oppressed by war, we are blessed with profound ce. etus on that day worship our Maker with humb! and contrite hearts, confessing our individual aod na tional sins. Let Him be invoked to perpetuate our free government, that the union of these States may long be preserved for the good of mankind—that patriotism, wisdom and virtue may guide our national councils— that harmony may be preserved among the States—that the machinations of bad men to extend the sphere of buman bondage may be overruled—that intemperance with all its woes may be overccme—and all those sins that mark us as ® people may soon be known no more in our midst.

BY ANDREW PARSONS, OF MICHIGAN, Pursuant to usage, I appoint’ Thursday, the thirtieth day of November inst., as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer. The people of our State and nation have enjoyed another year of bounty and prosperity. While other nations, either for present existence, or to avoid threatened danger, are contending in bloody war, our | own is at peace with all the world.

I, Andrew Johnson, Governor of the State of Tennessee, do set apart Thursday, the thirtieth day of November inst., as a day of thanksgiving and ‘prayer, and do earnestly request the people of the State devoutly to | observe it as such. i BY E. M. PEASE, OF TEXAS. The custom of setting apart a day, near the close of | autumn, for puslis thanksgiving, is becoming in every | people who acknowledge their dependence upon the | Author of their existence.

THANKSGIVING AT AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOCL IN BROOK- ij LYN. the clerzy ‘ons of this State to The officers Brooklyn, yesterday provided the children of the school, corner of Concord street and Hudson avenue, with a good ThankStiving dinner, Poultry and other delicacies of the season were spread before them in abundance, to which full justice was done by about one hnndred and forty children, most of whom are regular attendants of the schoul. After this part of the business had been disposed of, addresses were made by the Rey. Mr. Bac- kus, Messrs. Judson and Weed. Questions from Scrip- ture were propounded and answered by the pupils, and a number of byrne were sung. The proceedings passed off to the delight of the children and to the gratification | of the spectators, of whom there were a number. The school has now been in operation a year and a bsif, aud has worked as well as could be wished for. The chil- dren selected are those who are found idle and ragged about the streets. They are persuaded to come in, are provided with a dinner every day as an inducement to continue; are furnixhed with suitable clotching and in- structed in the rudimental branches of education and the general duties and obligations of morality and reli gion. They are also taught to sew and to be otherwise | useful. It has proved to be a useful institution and | worthy of the support of the community. | A DINNER FOR POOR CHILDREN IN WILLIAMSEMRG- | The friends of the Industrial School intend to give a dinner to the poor children under their charge, at one o'clock to-day, at the “Old North American Hotel,”’ ia | North Second street, which has been converted into an industrial school. Will those who are preparing a Thanksgiving feast for themselves gladden the hearts of these poor children by donating to thema few deliea- | cies? ) Povuurry ror TaaykservinG.—Poultry has not been as cheap in New York city in twonty years as it is at the present time. While beef remains at from thirteen to sixteen cents per pound, chickens can be bought for nine centa, and turkeys foreleven cents. Who will not have a Thanksgiving dinner? Police Intelligence. Arrest for False Pretences—Heavy Mining Stock Ope- ration.—Sergeants Mansfield and Smith, of the Lower Police Court, last evening arrested a man oamed Wm. C. Potter, whom they found at his boarding house, in Pench street, near Hudson, charged with having on the 16th of August last obtained by fraudulent representa- tions mining bonds, stocks, &c., to the amount of $15,000 from Isaac R. Barbour, of 110 Broadway. Mr. ‘otter was taken to the Tombs, haviag on his person a ge amount of the bonds and stock certificates, which he offered to surrender to the complainant if the latter | bonds, &c. Justice Bogart was sent for, but refused to hear the case until morning. The accused then offered to get bailfor his appearance, but the magistrate de- manded bonds to the amount of $20,000, and. he could not obtain them at that late hour, and be remained in custody of the officers. He claims that he only holds the secnrities until the money which he has advanced upon them fs refunded. Felonious Assault and Battery.—A colored man named | Hlisha Burke was arrested yest | ing stabbed Lavina Thom a shoe- maker’s knife in three different places.

The President's Message—War with Spain—The Army | and Navy—Sales of Uncle Sam's Farm—Pirates on the Public Domain—The Post Ofice—Indian Affairs— Mr. Guthrie's Report—The Pension Office—More In- Formation for Farmers at the Patent Office— Religious Revival:—Mre Don Piatt, do., dc. The busy hum of the active business of government has reached its culminating point. The reports from the several departments have been made up, and the people will soon have a pretty faithful exhibit of the state of the country. The message is, of course, the main topic of discussion, | although Mr. Pierce's manifeatos do not arouse the atten- tion of the country to any very greatextent. The Presi- | dent will give us his views at length upon the question of river and harbor improvements; but as that matter is now settled on both sides, mo great importance will be attached to an array of words which will only go over | the same ground. Our foreign policy, such as it is, will | be dilated upon at length. We must have some more promises about Cuba, andan explanation of the Grey- town farce. The message will be warlike in its tone, a: advocate the “manifest destiny ” doctrine. The acq' sition of Cuba will be recommended—even at the risk of war, the casus belli being the Black Warrior and other | outrages, | | ported by the recommendations of the Secretaries | of War and the Navy. Mr. Dobbin will recom- mend the immediate construction of six steam frigates, and Mr. Davis desires that the importance of | of six regiments, ostensibly for the defence of the | frontiers. The six steamers ordered by Congress last sea- ‘sion will be finished in October of next year. The new rule adopted by Mr. Dobbin, that officers ordered on ser- | vice must either obey or resign, is found to work well. ‘The proposed additions to the army will be made to the | cavalry and infantry regiments. It was desired two | years ago to raise a new regiment of cavalry. | Business in the General Land Office has been brisk during the past year. About 9,500,000 acres have been surveyed, and of these 7,000,000 have been brought into market, which yielded a revenue of nine millions two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in round numbers. Turing the past fiseal year some three anda half mil- ions of acres were entered with military land warrants, eleven millions of acres were claimed as swamp lands by the States, andone anda half million (the residue of former appropriations) were selected on donations for roads by the general government—showing upwards of twenty millions of acres were, in all, disposed of during | the last fiscal year. | The increased revenue on cash sales amounts alone to $6,000,000. The California Land Commissioners will require a fur- | ther extension. The whole number of claims submitted is 813. Of these 72 have been decided by the old board of 1851, and 852 by the new board appointed in 1853, leaving nearly half the number of cases to be disposed of. | Of the cases decided, 204, covering an area of 736 square leagues of land, have been affirmed, and 103 cases, cov- | ering an area of 383 square leagues, have been rejected. graduation bill, is going on very rapidly. The amount of revenue will be considerable from this source, in ad- dition to the proceeds from the regular land sales and entries. A large portion of the entries under the gra- ; duation bill have been at twelve and a half cents per acre. Speculators, of course, have contrived means to evade the jaw, and monopolise the lands at this price. It was the intention of the law to give the privilege of | entry at the reduced prices only to those who’ would oc- | cupy and improve the lands. But the intent of the law bas béen defeated. The old pre-emption laws were always | evaded. Senator Niles, of Connecticut, said in the Se- | nate that he was ‘‘a squatter by construction,” that is, | that he caused Innds to be marked for him, and received for him, under the pre-emption law, while he was at home in Connecticut, or making speeches in the Senate. The | public domain is not far from being used up. | The report of the Postmaster General will show a | cheering state of things in that important department, | and it is confidently hoped that the receipts of the de- | partment will soon cover its expenses. the 4th of | March, 1852, there has been but one case of default in | the Post Ofice Department (that of the Postmaster at | Troy)—a remarkable fact when we consider that there are 23,000 Post Ofices in the United States. Indian affairsare interesting. Fourteen treatiés—more than were ever concluded in the space of twelve months —have been made duting the past fiscal year. The en- tire abolition of cash payments will, in all probability, be | again recommended, and provisions and clothing substi- | tuted for them. This is the only means to prevent the | Indians from being cheated, and poisoned with rum. The | appropriations made late during the last session will | prebab Jmanded for colonizing and eivilising the Indians. colonization of the Indians in California, as far_as tried, has been rather successful. . If colonization and civiliza: tion fail, the destruction of the race seems inevitable. It | s the hunter tribes of Indians who commit all the depre- | dations, and harrass the emigrants to California and Oregon; but these are exactly the, tribes with which we of focd. The Secretary of the Interior will recommend measures for the subduing and domeaticating these wild tribes. It will cost a great deal of money. Mr. Guthrie will not probably take the responsibility to recommend any radical changes either in regard to | coalor iron, except those coming into operation under the Reeiprocity Treaty with the British Provinces of North America. Some reforms will probably be recommended in the Pension Bureau. Under the law, as it now exists, the grossest frauds are perpetrated on the government, | while the latter itself appears often toact very unequally in regard to claimants. Thus, under the present law, a seaman, a marin® anda soldier, all equally disabled, would reeeive very unequal pensions. The seaman would receive three dollars per month, the marine six dollars, and the soldier eight collars per month. Such a law is | evidently unjust, and ought to be amended. | Avery remarkable fact in regard to these ons is that there never erry to be any diminution in the disability for which the pension is granted. With two, and only two, honorable exceptions, no pensioner got well during ‘the last fiscal year, and no disability di- | minished. ‘The Secretary thinks that the pension ought | to be reduced aa the patient improves, and to cease alto- | gether when the patient is entiggly recovered. | The National Hospital for fhe insane in the District | andin the army and navy will be all completed with | $100,000. The patients of the District are now in the | Maryland Hospital and at the Mount Hope Institution at | Baltimore. For these, accommodations will be ready hereon the Ist of January next, and the whole estab- | lishment ready for the reception of all the categories above named, will be completed on the 30th of June fol- | lowing, The’ building will contain accommodations for | 85 patients, with officers, attendants, physicians, and ts. Twenty-nine patients belonging to the army '¥ are now scattered all over the Union, and 53 | indigent insane are now in the Baltimore institutions, while 11 are detained in jail (!) in this city; 84 will be entitled to the benefits of the new institution as original- ly designed. An appropriation of $10,000 will be wanted for the nitentiary of the District to pay its debts. A, - | Kons were made in 1846 and bt to discha: Pie debt of the institution, and it has now decreased to the sum | named, without any means to discharge it, except by an appropriation from Congress, which will be asked. An increase in the number of guards is also required, as will appear from the fact that in 1849 there were 40 con- victs with only 9 persons to watch them. In 1853 the number of convicts had increased to 100, while the pie 4 of persons to guard them had dwindled down to eight. The manner in which these matters are mismanaged in the District is a disgrace to Congress. The Commissioner of the Patent Office has some inter- esting agricultural information. He lately received | vices from our dragoman at Constantinople, that he had procured and shipped 100 bushels of superior flint wheat from the vicinity of Mount Olympus, which is to be dis- tributed in the coming winter and spring for experiments dragoman is also in diferent patts of our country. in search of the celebrated Cassabar melon seed; also famed * wheat, from the farm of Abrabam, foot of Mount Carmel, in the Holy Land, samples of which, it will be recollected, were brought from that country last year by the Hon. Caleb Lyon, of New York. | In that country they have not many vegetables except | cauliflowers and squashes, It is pro] fine tobaqg> seed from different localities. Mr. Brown’s succeseful mission to Europ? will be of immense advantage to the farming interests of our own country. As the experienced and indefatigable head of the Agricultural Bureau of the Patent Office, he was just | the man for such » journey. Already there have been | received from Lae several hundred bushels of peas, of the finest quality, suited to different seasons and lo. bes oben Sam 4 mee) pons Mecho quantities of pure early York cabbage |; parsnips, carrots, ce- y, ke.
