SOUTHERN VIEW OF THANKSGIVING IN THE
luding to the fact that Thursday, November
20, has been fixed upon by most of the Gov
ernOrs of the Northern States for the annual
Thanksgiving, asks Where are the Gov
ernors Of the States South of Marylandl The
inquiry has provoked the following rather
snappish reply from the Carolina Times
" We are impressed that the Governors of
the States South of Maryland are all at home
and competent TO decide for themselves when
it will be proper to fix upon a day to offer up
thanks u the Almighty for past blessings The
movement on the part of Northern Executives
is no criterion for Southern men. We are
subject to law, common and divine, and need
"No bleeding bird nor bleeding beast
Nor hyssop branch nor sprinkling priest,
Nor running brook nor flood, nor sea
To wash dismal stain away"
" 1t is meet and proper that the miserable,
sin stricken polluted and ungody population
of the North should beg pardon for their
black sins recorded, committed against God =,
their country and fellow. As a genera
tion of vipers they ought to be warned to fee
the wrath to come yet we believe that the
waters of Jordan, Ahana and Pharpar would
fail TO wash them and heal their leprosy,
even though they were to dip seventy times
seven. They have much to be forgiven and
we would advise them to pray oiten-pray
long and pray loud Baltimore, especially,
ought TO be covered with sackcloth and ashes

BI-VALvIAN lNFLATIoN.-Those of our frater-
nifty know full well what constitutes the luxury
of life,-wth a fastidiousness seldom gratifed,
we enjoy the more gratefully each opportunity
that presents itself, and spring with zest into
the full intoxication of any pleasure which we
become, by invitation or otherwise, participants.
We have shared the gaities of the parlor, the
ballroom, and the festive board, and know the
charms of each as well as any one-but, give
us, if you please, the recherche, well-prepared,
semi-occasonal plate of bi-valves.
Such were our thoughts on last Wednesday
evening, as we sat in a miners cabin, before a
table covered with fresh oysters, champagne,
and the other good things,-the host being our
friend, Knight, Joe Knight Jose Knight, Esq,
is one of the most clever gentlemen with whom
it has been our good fortune to meet in many
long day. Never satisfied with his favors to
US, which have been already innumerable, he is
continually placing us under obligations, (as the
Agent of Wells, Fargo & Co., in furnishing Ex
press facilities and newspaper exchanges Joe's
kindness, at the aforesaid time and place, was
exemplified in oysters! yes, bouncing live ones,
as they kicked loose from the shell in an ecstacy
of delight at the thoughts of the savory dish
in Uery love with the genteel company present!
The oysters were splendidly gotten up-the
champagne excellent,--the party small and
agreeable( ?)-smiles and jokes passed over the
board, which were rich and rare. Prominent
shone the sociahlities Of face masked hahind

one hundred dollars, and refused it. They are
taking out great deal of gold every day.

specimens, such as we used to find in the sur

LETTER FROM NICARAGUA.

We are indebted to friend for the following
copy of private letter, written by his Brother,
now residing in Granada:
GRANADA, October 3Oth 1856
Dear B-Having little leisure, will write
health and getting along pretty fair. Charley
Hart is doing very well David Forrest, of San
Andreas, is also doing well, and ready for an
other fght,-that is if the enemy do not leave.
Lately we have had two big fights, and came
off victorious. We expect another battle, soon,
and | can tell you how it will end we Will
clean them out this time, and send them home
to their own country, for they do not like to
fight the Americans. We are most too bold
for them, and as we now have four mortars and
two howitzers with lots of cartridges (shot and
SHELLY know that we can and will give them
the finishing touch Our loss in the last fights,
is about twenty killed and wounded theirs is
about 45o killed and 800 wounded, from all
accounts that can get from the friendly natives
and they also say that many desertions are
taking place. There has been as many as six
good battles, fought, and we have come out
best in all of them. But as there has been so
many States to fight, it keeps us all moving
but think this, and perhaps another battle at
Leon will settle them for a while.
Costa Rcans say that they will never come
again to Nicaragua, to fight Americans. But if
we 60 to their country, they will defend them
selves as well as they can.
At present we are fighting the combined
power Of San Salvadorians, Guatamalians and
Chamorists, besides the Democrats of Nicara-
qua. The American force, all told, was about
500 strong, that of the enemy about 5000.
When we marched to attack Messaya, the enc
my passed us by another route to attack Gra-
nada,-because native woman told them that
the Americans had left and there was only
fifty sick men in the Hospital. But as a Qua
tamalian Colonel said when we took him pris-
oner,-" Carajo Yo no quiero pelear con estos
infernales, 81 todos ellos pelican 10 mismo, como
estos diablosn He found to his sorrow that
sick men could fight when they were pushed to
it. There was about $50 Americans in Grana-
da, that fought for twenty-one hours against
1900 picked troops, who were sent expressly
to take Granada. But we that went to Messaya,
returned just in good time, but they had an
ticipated us, for at the Jaltava Church. about
one-haIf mile from town they gave us a warm
reception with big canons and musketry. But
we charged them and repulsed the invaders
with loss of three killed and twelve wounded.
We took two brass canon from them and lots
of ammunition and muskets. AT present have
no more to say Your brother, J. j. A.

CHINAMEN rs. WALLy.-At Big Bar, on the
Mokelumne river, party of seven Cinnamon
are working claim, and have about dozen
Wallvs hired to assist them. Hard times have
driven the Wallys to serve in this menial ca
pacity, in land where, to the manor born, the
poor Indian was once the aristocrat of the cop
per-colored race. Wally endures his humili-
ating seryitude with grunts of dissatisfaction
and dull-meat-axe looks at his long, tailed
task-masers manitesting his big disgust in a
scallr-wag "yah-gah-yai- -yah-a-H imitation of
Johns jaw-breaking jargon,--obstinately re-
fusing to eat boiled rice. The Wallys used to
boast that when the americans all left, (2) they
would make slaves of the Chinese, present ap-
pearances would seem to indicate that the boot
is on the other foot.
