@ To morrow Thursday is Thanks
giving day. Let it be gratefully Observed
The annual gathering in of the harvests-the
goodiy blessings that a benefcent Creator has
given us, should be hailed with 10Y and
thankfulness of heart, by the rich man il his
palace, cloyed with all the ~luxuries that
wealth can purchase, and by the poor peasant
in his cottage.
Heaven has given us a beautiful and a
bountiful earth. Alas that a soil so nrolifc
of blessings should be made to Weld curses
and crimes. By a perversion of the laws Of
nature, life and death are sown with an
equal hand. To the heart-cheering music Of
the tiDkling bells of many focks roaming the
fowry hills Of pleasing prospect Of herds
feeding In pastures Of unrivalled green of
fields of goodly grain, waving in the wind
and bowling to the coyish kiss of the sun
beam-how often is the eye disguised and
the generous feelings of the human heart
offended by the appearance, here and there,
of the dark and gloomy houses where the
U0ter Of death is sent forth on its unholy
missioni A modern EReas or Ulysses might
mistake the dark and smoking pits for en-
frances into the deep pit below. Yet how
unlike tho tabled passages which conducted
the Grecian and Trojan heroes on their pious
mission The scenes to which the unhappy
wretch il conducted through Mess smoking
pits and avenues, are all of death, all of
misery, all of wretchedness, all of endless
night, all of triumphant horror, all of perfec-
ted vol! The dark picture has no sunny
side-nog CLEAN of glinting sunbeams to kindle
the spark of dying hope no Tartarus there
no Elysium HEREli
While we are returning thanks for the
mercies of Providence, let us pray to be
delivered from the wickedness of evil men. I

Negroes Ruined.

Complaints are numerous and general of
the many slaves that are ruined annually by
the grog shop system, and yet our County
Court last week, granted licences to men no.
torious throughout the community for lille
gally traHicing with the slave population -
And to make the thing as ridiculous and in
consistent as possible, extra strong patrols
were appointed to watch these same charac-
ters, so that, after getting the SO license fee,
they may be indicted and mulcted in divers
fines, for the benefit Of the County Treasury,
for trading with interdicted persons, and for
having broils and disorder in their dens! i
Glorious laws-beautiful conservators of the
public peace and veal.

Beware of Gamblers.

We see a number of these land-sharks
providing about our City, /" seeking whom
they may devour." We warn all our citizens,
and v%isiters to Raleigh, to beware of their
dens, some ~ofwhich, we learn, are located on
the main ~thorough-fare of the Town. Many
were feeced here, badly, two years ago, and
we doubt not many others are doomed to be
stripped of their all, this winter. The only
safe policy is not to visit their bells. Be not
enticed by their invitations to partake of their
inequalities free, where liquor and oyster
suppers will be furnished without cost-for
be assured the visitors will have to foot the
bills at heavy figures.
We have performed our duty in putting
the public on their guard about these things,
and whoever reads this and is then bit, can
only blame himself for his ool-h~ardiness.-
We hope the Officers of the law will also per-
form their duty in this respect. The laws
are very stringent upon faro banks and
gambling generally-our Sheriff, C~onstables,
A~ttornies, &C., will know where these gamb-
ling Rooms are, and we call upon them, in
the name of society and by virtue of their
oaths and duties as officers, to ferret them out
and visit upon them the just retributions of
violated law. Let it not be neglected.

The Legislature.

We devote a large portion of this issue to
the Legislative proceedings. 1t will be seen
by reference to the appropriate head, that
the two Houses have been organized and pro-
ceeded to the despatch of public business
We give to-day, the Governors Message en-
tire, which, though somewhat lengthy, will
be found on perusal to be q Statesman-like
and liberal document, containing wise and
prudent recommendations and suggestions.
We regret, however, that his ExcelIency did
not deem it his duty to call attention to the
evils and injury sustained by the State, un-
der the present II -advised, unjust system of
the liquor traffic, as legalized by State enact
ments. The subject has so thoroughly agi-
tated the public mind for the last few years,
and so generally intermixed with our State
politics, that the people had a right to expect
that the Executive would call the attention OF
the General Assembly to the matter, if he
was not prepared to make any specific re-
concentrations concerning it. Any other
subject, it seems to US, that had ELECTED as
much public inquiry and investigation by our
citizens as has this, would have at least met
with respectful allusion. However, we would
fain believe it was more from inadvertence
than from want of interest, felt by the Gov.
ernor, on a matter soyitally affecting the we'll
being OF the Stae: he members of the
Legislature will, we trust, give it that en-.
lightened and liberal attention which its vast
Importance demands.
There seems to be a general appreciation
of the extra amount of business before thi'
Legislature, and a disposition to improve tn,
time and despatch business as promptly a
possible, is manifested. The election of tn,
various officers, &c., will, therefore, be dis
posed of as soon as possible, and the legiti
mate business of legislation entered upon
free from the excitements incident thereto
May wise c~ounsels prevail, leading to tn
most beneGcent and patriotic conclusions.
On the Oath, the following elections wer
made: Hon. D. S Reid, U. S. Senator for tn
short term Mr.. Powell, Engrossing Clerk
FL. S. Smith, Assistant Engrossing Clerk fc
the Revised Laws and George S. Stevenson
Solicitor for the End Judicial district. II
wings generally voted for Hon. D. M. Barril
ger for U. S. Senator. The election of Go
Reid will create a vacancy in the Office
Governor, and of course Warren Winslo,
Esq, Speaker of the Senate, will be called
the gubernatorial chair-for one month.
On Saturday, the 25th, Hon. Asa Big
was elected q. S. Senator for the term begi
ming 4th of March next, vice Hon. George
Badger, whose term then expires. The VIII
vote was cast for Mr.. Badger.

Opportunity for Distinction.

Seated in the Halls Of our Legislature, we
recognize many gentlemen, of both parties,
who justly enjoy the reputation of being ripe
Statesmen and warm-hearted Philanthropists.
On many occasions have their voices been
heard in empassioned patriotic strains in
their country's cause and in opposition to in
justice and oppression, come from what quar-
ter it might. May they ever thus be found
battling for the eause of patriotism aSd hurl-
ing defiance against the enemy of the rights
and interests of the common people.
During the present session, the voice of
wailing and sorrow-of political injustice and
oppression-will be heard in our Legislative
halls, calling for relief from a cruel tyranny
that is destroying the high hopes and prom
Use of the State, and entailing upon her citi-
zens heavy and oppressive taxes and burdens,
against their consent. For years, through a
mistaken policy Of legislation, and under the
misnomer of Revenue law" the license
system has prevailed, by which, for every ten
dollars paid into the State treasury, the in
dustrious, worthy portion of community, are
made to pay hundreds of dollars, to support
the pauperism, litigation and crime that me-
c~essarily grow outof the system. Every men,
Der of our Legislature knows these facts
ne meets them at every turn in life-and the
voice of enlightened freedom, experience and
justice call aloud for Reform
If the true men now engaged in legislating
for the good of the State-men who can rise
above the clamor of pot-house politicians and
crossroads brawlers, and dare do what their
consciences dictate, their judgements approve,
and the happiness and interests of their con-
stituents require-if these men will in true
patriotic spirit move forward in this great
cause, our good old State may be relieved in
a great measure, if not entirely released from
the onerous burdens which the ruinous and
degrading liquor traffic imposes upon them.
In view of the intelligence and liberality
of the present Legislature, we cannot believe
1t will adjourn without taking steps to allevi-
ate the public suferings in these respects. in
some measure and we trust to such extent
as the public voice calls for.

FOREIGN NEws.-We have three DAYS later
news from Europe. Wheat had advanced
two shlllings per quarter.
from the war, the news is somewhat con-
hlctlng. On statement is that the Russian
ships had been drawn up close under the
shelter OF the batteries at Sebastopol. but the
allies were preparing to pour red shot into
them with the hope that they would be either
oislodged or burned that the attack on that
ratification had not been renewed, but the
bombardment from the heights was vigorous
y prosecuted. Another statement is. that
Sebastopol has positively been captured; and
another that it was a mass of ruins. Which
is to be credited, is the difficulty.
Lord Dunkellin had been made prisonor
by the Russians. Large reinforcements az
troops were being despatched by the French
and English; also iron cylinders filed With
explosive materials, to be used in bleyino mn
the ships sunk by the Russians in front of
the harbor. Forty floating batteries, and
one hundred and twenty gun boats have been
ordered into immediate service for the Baltic
English accounts say that the Russians have
been repulsed at B~alkalava, with a loss Of
one thousand killed.
