VIII, by reason of the greatly reduced prices

1t Is well known that this revuIsion has not
confined ltself to this country bat has been felt
with equal, or greater severity in England and
on the continent of Europe aud Fit is a some
what remarkable fact that the severity of the
pressure has been greatest in those places which
had an exclusive metallic currency. The eff
feet OF this revulsion has been to reduce the
price oil nearly every article import from
abroad from twenty-t to fifty per cent To
be on the safe side, viii call it twenty-fvep per

The correspondents the various public journals
give glowing accounts of the hospitality extended
to the members of the N. e. Conference at its late
session in Portsmouth. That fourishiug city is
beginning to attract somewhat of the attention it
deserves. There is 10 city in Virginia which
Possesses greater elements of prosperity. 1t com.
mands by its railroads rich and extensive back
country, and the fact that the largest navy yard of
the United States is at Portsmouth, and the largest
line OF battle ship in the world floats in its waters
speags 'or itself what kind of harbor Portsmouth
mas. Inc people are among the most hospitable and
aaseigen. OF 'irginisns, and there few Virginia
towns which can exhibit as inaustrous and tbr,f,,
population. With such advantages. Portsmouth
ought to become Of the frat cities O, tn. son,b

ThanksgiyiuH Day.

The Northern Journals have given voluminous
accounts of the spirited manner in which the late
Thanksgiving Day was celebrated In the middle
and New England States. We confess that We do
not sympathize with the ridicule cast upon Yam
kee thanksgivings, nor indeed are disposed to ads
NIT that Day of Thanksgiving is Yankee inven.
ton. Such day was recommended by the Chris.
tisn Church before the first Yankee was ever born.
Gratitude to God is not An exclusively Ysnkee yjr.
tue nor the public manifestation of ID discovery
Of the Pilgrim Fathers. If Jonathan has managed
to obtain patent for it, this is not the first in
stance of his claiming the credit Of other peoples
productions.
At the same time, it must be conceded that the
New England manner of celebrating ThanksgiY
ing, some which Is well calculated TO enlist the
energies of the entire population, whether saints
or sinners, and to make the outsiders anxious to
participate in Yankee devotions. We def the
most benighted and hungry Pagan that ever lived
to read the Thanksgiving accounts of the New
York journals, without his heart melting and his
mouth watering. TIE New York Tribua. SAYS
that vast numbers of New Workers left for N Eng,
land Thanksgiving day, aud that the railroad trains
and steamboats, were crowded by thousands, rush
ing eastward after fat turkeys, pumpkin pies
and other good things of this life. The common
prejudice against Yankee InSpAsgtVinR III other
latitudes Is founded on the faiacy that it is day
of prayer and psalm singing, which, occurring or
o week day, would be lear violation of the com
mand that six days thou shalt labor and hence
as much sin as to work on Sunday. FOR this rea
son, many conscientious people do not approve OF
Thanksgiving, nor indeed of any ether holy days
which occur In the week time; but the New Eng.
land festival is open to such objections, and
hasu't religion eaough about it to hurt ANYBODY
1t goes IN the correct principle that gratitude
like faith, Ia best shown by works, and hence IL
makes its prayers short and lis dinners long, and
performs such trencher tests of Thanksgiving al no
other people in the world can equal. We wish the
Governor Of Virginia would appoint Thanksgiv-
log Day, and issue proclamation commanding
every man in the Commonwealth to have roas,
turkey and plum pudding on that solemn occasion
But this is unconstitutional, we shall have to
be patient till Christmas - glorious old Christ.

We will wager that the Yankee Thanksgiving will
hide its head, in Yankee lstitudes before the
