WINCHESTER:
SATURDAY MORNING, NOV'R 2S

ga, Wo like to see a woman of spirit
and life, for dull, supinc, prosy wo,
man is a poor affair indeed. And we
have no particular objection to seeing
'lhe sparks fly occasionally, when some.
thing really stirring occurs. We like to
see her joyful and lively; and, if she has
little spice of waggory, we can put up
with livery wcll--nay, we like it all the
better But cross, sour temper, we
have no good opinion of; for a woman
who can never look pleasant, but is al
ways (retting and scolding, will make an
unhappy home for all within her house.
And we had as lief undertake to live in a
barrel of vinegar in thunder, storm, as
TO live in the house with such woman.
Solomon was right when he said, 1T is
better to live in the corner of house. top
than to dwell in wide house with brawI.

on her countenance, and she will drive
the dark clouds from her husbands face,
and joy will thrill through the hearts of
her children. Let a woman's words be
be soothing and kind, and everything is
happy around her. Her influence will be
powerful. Others will catch her sweet
temper, and strive to see who can be most
like her. Sweetness Of temper in wo.
man is more valuable than gold, and
more to be priced than beauty. But may
heaven keep US from an untamed slIlew
whose looks are NORWOOD, and whose
words " are gall We had rather take
Dan,els place with the lions, than to
.nnk Of living within gunshot Of such
'ermlgant. If women knew their power,
and ., wished TO exert it, they would always
snow sweetness of temper; for then they
are irresistible. ..

Origin Of Thanksgiving Day.

When New England was first planted,
the settlers met with many difficulties
and hardships, as is necessarily the case
when civilized people attempt TO cs,
tabliSh themselves in wilderness coun
try. Being pousl y disposed, they sought
relief from heaven, by laying their wants
and distrcsses before the Lord in frequent
set days of fasting and prayer. Con.
slant meditation, and discourses on the
subject Of their difficulties, kept their
minds gloomy and disconnected, and,
like the children Of Israel, there were
many disposed to return to the land
which persecution had dcterminyd them
TO abandon.
At length, when it was proposed in
the assembly to proclaim another fast, a
farmer of plain sense rose and said, that
the inconveniences they had suffered, and
concerning which they had so often wea
riel heaven with their omplaints, were
not SO great as might have been expected,
and were diminishing every day as the
colony Strengthened; that the earth began
to reward their laDorS, and TO furnish lib.
orally for their sustenance; that the seas
and rivers were full Of fish, the air sweet,
the climate wholesome-above all. they
were in the enjoyment Of liberty, civil
and religious. He, therefore, thought
that rejecting and conversing on these
subjects would be more comfortable, as
tending to make them more contented
with their situation; and that it would be
more becoming the gratitude they owed to
the Divine Being, if, instead Of fast,
they should proclaim Thanksgiving
His advice was taken, and from that day
to this, they have in every year observed
circumstances of public happiness sufli
cient to furnish employment for a thanks.

More FARMERS NEEDED-Referring to
a recent statement that since the year
1850 the town and city population Of
Illinois had increased fifty per cent, fas.
ter than the rural inhabitants, and to the
fact shown by the last census of New
York, that while the cities and towns Of
that State had all increased handsomely,
the rural districts were either stationary
or had letrograded, the Philadelphia
North American remarks:
We are no better off here in Pennsyl.

mers for keeping up the prices OF provis.
ions take this fact into consideration. 1t
is grave and important matter, and
Just now, when times are so bad in all
the large cities, it 5ehooves us to benefit
by the truth thus revealed. We want
more farmers. 1t is respectable, lu.
crative and Independent business, but
few leave the city to embrace it, while the
farmers sons are prone to engage in city
pursuits in preference to that Of their
fathers. If we had moro stock farming
we should have cheaper meat. Extend
the culture of grain and we shall have
cheap bread. Multiply the number of
truck farms and we shall have potatoes,
fruit and vegetables at more reasonable
rates. Now is the time for those who
have accumulated money in savings
banks to buy land and become cultiva.

healthy equilibrium. This cause will be
more potent than all the homilies that
were ever preached in relation 10 tho
independence and dignity Of agricultural
life. 1t is not to be denied that, as soci.
ETY. is now constituted, towns have supe.
rlor attractions, and a large class Of
young men and women flock to them from
the country as to a sort OF poradise.--

THE REPEAL OF THE NAVIGATION LAWS
MEASURE OF SAFETY TO THE SOUTH.


We demonstrated yesterday how the present Navi
CATION Laws acted direct bounty to the North
We showed that they had hindered emigration TO hs
South and that economy, convenience and our prcs'
perity demanded their repeal. We como now TO view
their repeal as measure of safety to our peculiar
Institution.
II there are inhabitants of the Southern States
who cannot appreciate the blessings conferred upon
us socialy and economically (as the hard times al tho
North clearly prove) by the institution OF slavery,
they least possess enough philanthropy to des's

find an asylum in Lberis, and not TO drag out
miserable existence in the poor house OF some north.

the system of stealing our slaves, carried on go eIen
sivey by some Of the people Ut the North Ii these
unjust laws be repealed, We will be free to choose
those vessels TO carry on our coasting trade which
will be least likely to kidnap our slaves.
The employment of English vessels, and those OF
other foreign nations, by the plantations bordered by
rivers and bays and in the savehoding cities, would
be an important protection to our slave property
Hundreds, can safely say thousands of valuable
negroes are annually carried off by Yankee vessels,
and the most severe and stringent laws have failed
to prevent this lose. English and other foreign wee.
GELS would never disturb US in this respect. Not be-
ing obliged 10 to the North occasonly for freighS
or repairs, there would not be that great temptation
to earn passage money from fugitives; and their de-
sire to preserve CUSTOM If no higher motive actuasd
their Offices would keep them from neddling with
slaves In this respect the repeal OF the present nav
ipation Laws would be greater protection to this
species of property in midst than the most e1ten.

With this consideration, added TO the fact that the
abolition Of theee unjust laws would strengthen our

BRITISH ATROCITIES IN INDIA.

The London Star states, on what it calls reliable
authority, that at Csxnpore and the neghborhood,
the Queens 18th Regiment put to death not fewer
than ten thousand people-or, according to another
statement, they killed all the natives they could get
at men, women and children.
At Dnapore, a portion of the Sepoys, at great per
sonal risk, remained faithful, but the Queen'e lDh
after ts encounter at Arrah' went 10 the oarrack'
where the faithful SepOys we're, declaring tnat the
black devils should not be spsred, merely becans"
they gave up their arms. Then they turned the So
poys into the barrack yard aud commenced mas-a'
cre in which number were killed before the irfu
risted British could be stopped. One cf thei, vc-
tins, il 10 said, was woman.
In the Bombay Gazette We have an account of M
"e1ecution parade" written by medical officer Il
is terrible picture of the punishment inflicted on
the Sepoy mutneers, of blowing them from their
guns. 1t is mode Of punishment, says an En2l'h
Journal which evidently casts the wheel, the gsows
and the guiotine into the shade, and appears to b.
accompanied by mutlating horrors that probably
have no parallel n the history Of mankind. The oil
ficer referred to thus writes:
"The first parade was horrible sight, hut the
blowing away from the guns is most appalling After
the explosion the grouping OF the mems renains IN
front OF each gun 1as various and frightiul. One
mans head wss perohed on bis back, and he ~ss
staring around, as If looking for bis legs and arm.
All you zee at the time is cloud like dust storm.

frizzing fat, with Jumps sf c0aguated blood. Hero
and there stomach or a liver comes falling down IN
