with US on every topic Of public interest /;
bu. he does i, 90 good -na,uredly ,ha, no

published some dayu ago, in regard to a

to give his reasons why such plan should
not be adopted. He adheres 10 the ancient
custom, and considers the privilege or pro
claiming Thanksgiving day, as a state

mate to Southern doctrines, we presume he
will 60, step by step, until all his glorious
Free Soil philanthropy is lost in the hon.
orabls chivalry Of Southern principles, and
tenacious adherence to State Right doc
trines. The Transcript then sayi,--
There are doubtless many who will unite
with the News in devising a grand Na.iou-
al Thanksgiving and jubilee, thinking it
would add eclst TO the occasion, and he a
service more acceptable, al the Throne Of
God, than the less imposing observances
which custom has sanctioned. Ii would,
we agree, be 4" an inn osng spectac e.
but would II therefore be more appropriate
and acceptable than the =" still small voice"
of fervent gratitude rising from the various
States in their individual capacity
We never con,ended that the hom1ge Of
a nation, assembled in one mighty mass,
would be any more acceptable to tho AL
mighty Ruler Of the Universe, than the
I" sIil small voice" Of gratitude from indi-
viduals. On the contrary, We believe tina,

who cannot err, when the pompous and
heartless prayers Of bigoted and vain men,
swelling with pride and luxuria,ng in

The weather now remained good until
we reached the Rio de la Plata, when We
began to take gales of wind, rain, hail, snow,
and everything but pleasant weather. We
had some very sorrowful times, assure
you. When we reached the point of the
Cape, there was nothing but gales, and al
most hurricanes. The ship leaked almost
az bad as ever, and the men had nothing
but wet beds to lie in. We lay OF Cape
Horn about six weeks, in this kind OF
weather, the sea breaking over US day and
night, and we padding about in it like so
many ducks. Every sea that boarded US,
half Of it was sure TO come down between
decks. have seen the water almost over
shoes on the cabin floor when was going
to bed. Some nights the Captain was
obliged to take his speaking-trumpet to
make the men hear on the yards, when they
were taking in sail. The wind blew so
that when spoke to any one, had TO ge,
very near, and scream at the top Of my
voice in order to be heard. One night We
had gale of wind from the N. E., the
Captain ventured to carry sail, az il was
the only chance We had had since we had
been here. We were running very close
to the Cape, to cut OF, bu, before we got
round, the wind changed to S. f.. and we
had to heave the ship too. All hands had
ON long faces, for we were completely lost;
the Captain said if the wind continued TO
blow SO one more day, we shosld be land
ed on Cape Horn. We 60, the moon that
night, and were able to take the first obser-
vation we had had in IS days we found
ourselves within thirty miles Of The Cape,
and the gale increasing very fast, blowing
US on to the Cape as rapidly as possible. -
However. the wind changed TO the West,
and blew a gale, and we lay 10 days more,
or, rather, drlfied of.
On the 9th Of June the wind abaied and
!, became quite calm the wind hauled to
N. E. and we went round the Cape with
all sail set. Soon after, the wind changed
to the West, and blew a gale again It sp-
peared to mo that We should be driven
sshsre IN srne OF al that could be done.

We had fine weather until we yeached
the Equator, and there we lay beoslmed
IL or IA days, with heavy rains. We be.
gan to have wet beds again, for our decks
were old, and there was no way 10 stop
their leaking. After this we had some very
pleasant weather and warm evenings We
had the Music on deck and formed Cosil-
lions. April 2lst We spoke the bark Yer.
non, OF New York, bound to California,
with 4 passengers tley were AZ days out.

good weather. We divided ourselves into
two watches, to pump day and night, and
steered for the Islands We had head
winds and gales until the Goth of March,
when wo made one Of the Islands, which
might have been made in ten or twelve
days, IN good weather; at IL o'clock that
night we dropped anchor in the harbor OF
st. Vincent. From the time we had the
first gale until we made the Island, never
saw or felt a dry bed on board the ship
everything had been pitching from one end
Of the vessel to the other i wanted very
much then to be - (you know where)
but | said no,hing although kept up
tremendous thinking. We went ashore to
see the Island +; the Inhabitants are all
black, and extremely destitute. There
are about 200 of them, and SO or 20 hous-
es or huts, built Of stone, one story high,
the roof of bamboo, or mud, without any
floors. They have great faculty for beg
ging, and well they might, for they scarce
ly have any clothes to wear. Cne Of them
offered to give me two Of her children for
some Of my clothes. l gave her two OF
three ofmy garments that they could wear;
l also gave her about two pounds Of to-
bacco, for they are all grsas smokes.-
They are all Roman Catholics, and she
crossed herself and bowed to the ground -
The next day we all went to work heaving
over ,he ship and found that the principal
part of the leak was above tho copper
The fourth day after our arrival, the bark
Velascoe, of Boston, bound to California,
came in for " ood. The passengers came
on board Of our ship, and we returned the
vlsi, for change. When they sailed we
gave them salute. We lay in this port
ten days, and steathed and painted the
ship, so that she was quite tight. We
traded of some old bread to the Governor
Of the Island for pair of cattle weighing
500 pounds each, II goats, 7 sheep, and
about 700 squabhes we also had eight
hogs on board, and this made employment
enough for Chambers and myself On the
5th Of April we stood out to sea with fine
breeze from the n. F., which is called the
Northeast trades.

MR.. EDITOR -
Allow me to express through your columns
the thoughts that crowded upon me on revs-
iling our glorious beach afer years of absence
That spot, hallowed by o!den memories, seems
to me desecratel by the fashionable mode Of
bathing in the surf. This, like every other
good has its abuses and what wac once
sought as heal,h-giving balm, and an invg-
oIatlng pleasure, is now practsed by the 10
bust 'whskerando,' and the Hebs as pas,ime,
and we are bold to say, time grossly msspen..
Conducted as it now is, how can parent SO
far lose sigh OF propriety as 10 allow his chill
dren to indulge in this delightful luxury /
Who of us would place our daughters in the
arms of one the fashionable erqmsites OF the
day in full dress yet they are allowed to lux
uriate in tho embrace Of any gallant, on the
guaranty of a days, or weeks acquan
tance at fashionable watering place, envel
opsd in Z bathing dress, at the mercy of th'
winds and waves, which sometimes take mos
poetic licences. Thus locked in the embrac'
of some sol disant" gentleman, they
'Play such fantastic tricks before high Heaven
| As make cen angels weep"
Il These antics are one of the chief a,trac
,ions to cur glorious beach; and thus lh'
| grandest object in nature, the most enobllnl
spectacle, is rendered Disgusting to every re
| fined mind.
| A school of porposes is truly beaulifu
sight their graceful gambols cannot fail t'
please, ,-bnt to see our fellow beings awk
wardly initiate these children Of old Neptune
is ludicrous in the extreme.
