"a. in the midst of a holyday--a day of
't.Sying and prayer" In the chssie and APP
~ language OF Gov. Shunk's proclamation,
w. unite Sin expressions Of gratitude to the
III cyer of all Good for the numerous blessings
ltrors We have received at HIS hands, IN pre-
r.sto us our great civil and religious rights;
ssung 10 us season OF health and plenty IN
g'"0e our State and nation; in crowning with
~, the institutions OF our beloved country IN
80 10 MS the blessings of His revealed will;
! M confirming to us the offers Of mercy through
iosner am glad to see that the day is so
NJ observed in this city. We have, indeed.
p1. JASON to Ue thankful. Our beloved country
~ GENE Of prosperity and happiness from Maine

ys's %s nromise of s.beiier times" Not only is
,mrIy rewarded, but the farmer is reaping the
'..,irss for the produce OF his soil. The predic-
Iraf hose who prognosiicated ruin as the result

s,s,, Il IS the opinion Of any that the prosperity

at.,,s,on bu', ms the worst results were appre-
.Ibv The wings from the triumph Of the de-

Ia ar TO allow that the reverse is 10 be credit

II assume YOU have already heard that your cor
.,"dant has been prosecuted for libel, by the
III. lewis c. Levin, member of Congress from
~, congressional district in this county, on nc
~, n some remarks which were alleged to have
y" made IN relation to the daily "Sun" in this city,
sAh;eb Mr. Levin is the editor and proprietor.
=. hai asked (o,iy sl0,0G0) was given at once, by
.,,nI of my good friends here; and some ten days
!. NV attorneys moved TO strike off this sum, and
IA far nv discharge on common bail" In Mr..
i.a, affidavit, as filed in the Office of the proihon-
sry !, was discovered that he deemed il not me-
s,,.,y 10 swear TO the fasiy of the charge which
N ,lspel had made, TO his injury. On this ground,
"A without considering the other objections Of
v,,srs. Barton and Brewster, the court decided II
I'M Of the sum in which had given security, and
lam now discharged upon common bail. There is
,,hi0p indeed, in the words alleged TO be lbclous

~ the impression OF everybody hereabouts.
Sxeral Of our dailies are making Tor have already
adel arrangements to furnish their readers with
congressional information by the magnetic telegraph,
yheh is expected TO be completed IN short time
!. the entire route between Philadelphia and
Washington. The lines from New York TO Phil
Al phia, and from Philadelphia TO Harrisburg
mr State capital-are progressing with great
aldity, and will be ready in a few weeks
g. ouerations. 1t is wonderful with how much en-
nv and skill the work has been prosecuted. Great
fan,ages are Justly to be expected from this latest
ma mos, novel Of all the inventions. The only
iuvback that need be unprecedented, is the fen dish
aaduci of those who delight in destroying the work,
nd thus succeed in the interruption of comm unica-
lN II is hard to conceive what sort OF hearts such
luCe must have; and yet we are informed that
rs,siul attempts have recently beer made by ihese
ssHndres on several of the pios1 Important lises.
An good ctizens should unite ssainE such horrid
r,ndaIism as this. All should unite in pushing for
ward this most amazing enterprise of the age. With
common prudence, there need he no cause for APP
prehension; and any popular prejudice against the
telegraph can easily he counteracied, by such wise
md judcious regulations as will insure the public
sa6depce, and protect all classes against imposi-
TOO.
Governor Skunk and Secretary Miller left Phila-
jsaba Yesterday morning for Harrisburg Their
ss has been of the most gratifying character, and
vii " productive Of the most favorable results. On
Siuria, last, they paid visit to Doylestown, ac-
anpaniet by number Of their personal and poii-
ial friends On their way, they passed through
Darlington, New Jersey, Bristol, Worthwhile, Yard
syvlle and New Hope, in Bucks county--at each
d which places they were received with great en-
husasm, and greeted by numbers Of people. Al
New Hope, Governor Skunk was welcomed by the
Hon Samuel D. lngham, in speech full of point
ind power. MIR. lngham is chas,e and nervous
ipaker, and performed the pleasing duty allotted to
lm in manner highly creditable TO himself and
gnifying to his friends He referred to the fact
hat in Governor Skunk al parties recognised an
'~a man. Under his administration, the blight
shame and bankruptcy would be wiped away
rom our tscutheon; and the atmosphere OF Harris
burg would be so purified, that designing and bad
men could not hope to live within it's influence.
Now, slr--remarked Mr.. Ingham TO the governor,
be pointed TO the bridge which spanned the Della
sir, at New Hope, connecting Pennsylvania with
New Jeney--we can pass over that bridge, and min
u with our feowcltizens in our sister State, with
Wheeling inclined to blush for the degradation Of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Ingham concluded Ivy extend
fs hearty greeting and sincere welcome TO Gov
uaT Skunk The governors reply was appro-
lass and forcible, and, brief as il was, convinced
y Who heard it that we have in our present execu-
.'sa man abundanlly worthy of the popular conf
aAd When Governor Skunk entered Doyles-
psn, he was saued with the roar Of artillery, and
