Gen. Mcqueen.

The editor of the Pee Dee Herald con-
siders the election'of Gen. McQueen Ia the
present vacancy in the United States SEN
ate, IA certain, his convictions being based
upon reports from persons who were at the
late Fair in Columbia, where, no doubt. the
approaching election was much canvassed
and talked of
We would be well pleased to see this
distinguished hcnor conferred upon Gen.
Mcqueen, which we conceive that ne well
merits. lie has done the State effective
service in his present position and is known
to be unwavering in his principles. We
differ from him perhaps upon some minsr
points of eXpediency, but in the main, his
position is such as the whole State can in
dorse, and his uncompromising devotion TO
principles is the highest assurance that the
honor OF the State can be safely entrusted
to him. lie has been thoroughly tried, and
the South can rely, with every confidence,
IN his integrity and independence.

THANKSGIVING Day.

Our readers were notified by Procla-
nation published in our last issue, that Ills
EXcellcncy, the Governor, has appointed
the 25th Ins:, (to.morrow) rs n day of
Thanksgiving and Prayer. We would re-
speclfulIy suggest that it be observed as
sach in Oar community. If il is incumbent
upon the inhabitants of the Metropolis TO
give thanks that the pestilrncc in the city
is stayed, and upon the residents of tfe
lower Districts that the malaria common to
their section is dissipatcd. how much great
or reason have we to return thnnKs to the
Giver of all Good for the remarkable das..o,.
vouchsated TO ns during the Summer and
AutumnaI months!
The same day will be observed by the
following States
Maine, New hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island. Connecticut. MARYLAND. Iii
noiS, Iowa, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Michigan, Missouri. Wisconsin
Vermont, Indiana and South Carolina.

The CosT OF THE UTAH ImBRooLIo -
We were prepared to learn (says the Co.
Iumbia Guardian) that the expenses Of the
expedition against Brigham Young and his
rebelIious saints were very large but are
surprised TO sec ii stated by the Washing
ton Star, journal which has the facilities
Tor acquiring correct information, that the
expedition for the Utah imbrogio, as far as
made by the Quartermaster's department,
amounts to S5,l32,ooO. -Four thousand nine
hundred and fortyseven wagons and ambu-
lances ffty-three thousand threo hundred
and nioety-six horses, mules, and oxen,
exclusive Of animals for artillery and cav
airy, were furnished. The pay of the off.
GERS and men, and the cost Of Subsistence,
which would have been incurred had the
forces heen engaged in any other service
than this, are not, Of course, included in
this estimate. The cost Of tran spor iarion
is included, as it was an expense incidental
to this affair.
