The following is an extract from letter dated


vIcKsBURG. Monday morning, Sept. 10, 1853.
DEAR SIR: Do not be surprised to find this letter sad
one Our whole city is clouded in gloom. The Angel Of
Death stalks streets by night and day. Nothing is
talked of but sickness and death.
You could hardly realize the amount of suffering there
in town Of this time Our benevolent associations do all
that can be done but the great want l. for nurses.
Yesterday there sixteen or seventeen buried AMI
there were five or six to be buried but they had to
wait until to day for hearses.
On the day before yesterday there were twenty two
buried here besides three being sent TO the countrymak
ing twenty five.
Is it not awful considering have not two thousand
persons in present. There are but five or six
stores open the street.

Business.

We have noticed great increase of business
with our forwarding merchants As near as
we can learn the amount of merchandise pass
ing through their hands, this year, is double that
of the one preceding. The retail business
has also increased surprisingly within twelve
months. The cash receipts Of one house, we
learn, are now fully three times as much as they
were for the corresponding season last year.
In fact there never was period in the history
of our town when all kinds of business were in
a more healthy condition. The prospects for
the future too, are most encouraging, for the
products of the surrounding forests will con-
tinue to meet with an increasing demand, and
the country inland will fill up with more rapid
ty than ever. These may be mentioned as the
chief causes that have worked out our present
prosperity, and they must continue to operate
even on q more enlarged scale hereafter.

BEARDs.-The employees OF the railroads in
England are discussing the question OF wearing
boards and are deciding in their favor, as will
appear by the following letter addressed to
superintendent Of one Of the roads:
:" SIR We, the servants OF the Scottish Gen.
trail Railroad, beg to inform you that having last
summer seen circular recommending the men
upon railways to cultivate the growth OF their
boards as the best protection against the inclem-
cy of the weather, We have been induced to fol-
low this advice, and the benefit we have derived
from it induces US to recommend it to the gen.
eral adoption of our brothers in similar service
throughout the kingdom. We can assure them,
from our own experience, that they will, by this
means, be saved from the colds and sore throats,
Of sucn frequent occurrence without this natural
protection"
In this matter as in all Others Jonathan is far
in the advance of his ancestor, and tho beard has
become almost universal in this country. While
there scarcely remains question as to its being
conducive to health as well as comfort, it is no.
ticeable that it is growing in favor matter of
taste. The beard should however be kept neat
ly trimmed, SO as not to hide the contour of the
features, thus depriving the countenance ofmuch
of its expression. AS much care should be ia
ken in trimming and dressing the beard, as was
| formerly devoted to its removal.

NaYigntiOn.

Vessels of the larger class now meet with
some difficulty in passing over the bar at the en-
trance of our harbor. A few days since the
depth of water in the channel was only eight
feet. Last spring it was eleven feet. This
difference is owing partly to variation in the
level of the lake, which is now about two feet
lower. than it was a few months since, and part
ly to shifting of the sand occasioned by strong
north-westerly winds. This, in connection with
the additional circumstance that the course of
the channel is to the northwest, from which
quarter the prevailing winds of the season blow,
causes much more delay in the shipping bust

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. 16, 1853
Proclamation.

1t has been custom long established in this and
other States for the Executive to recommend day
in each year of Public Thanksgiving. In pursu-
ance of that time-honored and cherished usage, |
do hereby recommend THURSDAY, THE oath DAY
OF NOVEMBER, of this year, to be set apart for
that purpose.
At no period in the history of our State or Ma
ton has our course in the way of prosperity been
more rapid than during the past year.
The blessings of a kind Providence have been
scattered along our pathway Us with wasteful
hand" and still lie thickly around us. S.
Within the borders of our State no desolating
where prevailed; every branch Of industry has
met with uncommon success.
We have been and now are at peace with all the
world. All classes of our people have had album
dant reason to be prosperous and happy.
In view Of these gratifying facts, who cannot
feel that it may be great pleasure, on that day,
to lay aside much possible all our secular vo-
cations, and in suitable manner express our
humble feelings of gratitude, thanksgiving, and
praise to Him who has bestowed these blessings
and created us with the privilege of enjoying them
as we pass on our journey through life.
| In testimony whereof, have hereuntO set my
hand and caused the Great Seal of the
| IL. ST. State Of Michigan to be hereunto affixed
At lansing this Goth day of October, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and ffty-three.

A PEACH Observation-Disclosures Greeley in
an account of his late visit to Indiana, has the
following in reference to new enterprise Of the
Hon. II. L. Ellsworth:
"He is gathering peach-stones, for which he is
paying fifty cents per bushe, and will plant fifty
bushels of them in the centre of a great prairie
which he is breaking up. There they will grow
luxuriantly, and soon bear, when he will have
the peaches gathered and dried by women on
shares; and so for four or five years, growing
corn or some other crop among them, and thus
keeping the land in good condition. Then he
will cut down the trees for fuel and have new
growth from the roots. This he believes the
cheapest and quickest way to get fuel where it
is most needed, besides producing an abundance
of dried fruit. of which there has never has been
half enough in this country"

FIRE PROOF STATE OFFIcEs-The new build

FIRE PROOF STATE OFFICEs.-The new build
ing for the State offices is now nearly compile
ted, exteriorly at least; situated as it is in the
midst of the Capitol Square, consisting of about
twelve acres reserved for such purposes, on an
elevation overlooking the whole village, and
prominently in view as one approaches the Cap
tol from any direction, it is by far the most
striking feature Of the place-and adds vastly to
its appearance. The style of the building is Pc
culiar, and with some trhng exceptions is in
good taste and well adapted to the uses for
which it is intended. The grounds surround
ing are being graded, and when planted with
shade trees, as they should be, will make by
no means insignificant park. Great credit is due
to the contractor for the zeal and fidelity he has
exhibited in the performance of his contract

MICHIGAN AGAINST New YoRK-Thc receipts
of the N. Y. fair with population in the State of
100000, were about $4,000. The receipts Of
the Michigan State Fair with population Of
100000, were about $4,000. IfNew York, had
equaled Michigan, the receipts there would have
been over $4,000! This is pretty well for the
Wolverine State, and something Of which her
citizens, and especially her farmers, have reason
to feel little proud, and which ought to stimu-
late them to renewed efforts hereafter.

that their numbers will shortly be increased by

The JEws.-A Hebrew paper published in
New York has an article reviewing the progress
of Judaism in the United States during the past
year, 1t says, that within that time, two new
synagogues have been built in New York and
Cincinnati; two new schools have been formed
in New York, and three congregations in Califor-
MA; two or three works on Jewish literature
have been published, and new translation of
the Bible Efforts made for the conversion of
the Jews to the faith of other sects are repre-
sented to have been unsuccessful, while several
Christians are reported TO have embraced Juda-
