native State are going out, with fair
prospect of millions Of his countrymen
being thrown out Of employment as i'll

their wives and little ones, as at that
time. The price of the products of the

As might have been expected BY readers
here, the Eastern papers received by the last
mail are occupied almost exclusively with
the details Of the miserable attempt at insur-
reCtion in Virginia, by John Brown and its
confederates. We have IS yet failed to open
single exchange without meeting with the
heading, "Old John Brown" etc. Some Of
tie papers cOnfne themselves simply to pub
fishing the details, without comment; others
publish the same details with all sorts Of
ridiculous speculatiOns and CO9jectures /;
soma strive 70 lessen the importance Of the
outbreak, while others endeavor to magnify
Il 70 the utmost stretch. Altogether, il is
tie most extensive tempest in teapot that
has occurred In the United States for many

entirely In the shade, and the indications are

North they politely proffered the Territorial Uni
vcrsity. This course of policy fully illustrates the
Arkansas game Of Heads win, tails you lose :"
for it was only treacherous compromise at best,
as the sequel Of their subsequent political actions
fully demonstrates for no sooner was it discOv-
cred that King County gave majority Of votes
against the vcritahle Isaac, than away went this
tituar institution with one fell swOOp. The same
course Of policy, too, was carried out with Island
County. Island, always true to her wOnted Dem
Ocratic instincts, was given two Representatives
at the session Of 1856; but so soon as they elected
anti-Stevens members, (which was theensuing year,
they were at once cut short Of one member, and
this practice has been inAexibly maintained since
the opening Of the late Indian war.

finger on dull number of this famous periodical,
and when we announce, as we do now, the pub
lication of new number, the reader may look
for at least one paper the persual Of which will
be well worth his while We have no intention
to canvas the different articles in the present
issue, which offer the usual variety; but we can.
not refrain from calling attention to, and solicit
ing careful persual Of the abstract from Capt.
Speke's journal in this and the number for Sep
tember, giving the details Of a journey in Gen.
tral Africa, made by him in conjunction with
Lieut. Burton. Traversing districts before un.
trOdden by the white man, that officer, having
entered Africa on the east coast, worked up to
the northward and westward, to the Mountains
Of the Moon, and in their vicinity has discovered
vast lake or inland sea, to which he has given
the name Of Victoria Nyanza, and which there
is every reason to believe is the lOng-sought
Fountain Of the Nile. This lake is situated ex-
actly on the Equator; and its position and the
formation Of the country lend much probability
to the suggestion. We cannot reproduce in this
brief notice Capt. Speke's argument on the sub
ject, but we must refer for the details to the
number itself A continuation is promised, which
will probably throw still further light on the So
luton Of this most interesting problem.

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING DAY.

The New York Times and some of the Phia-
delphia papers have expressed their disapproba-
tion Of the appointment of Thanksgiving day
They think day Of fasting and prayer would
be more appropriate, as though we had nothing
to be thankful for. To those who think thus, the
following history Of the origin Of Thanksgiving
Day may prove Instructive
"When New England was planted, the set
tiers met with many difficulties and hardships,
as is necessarily the case when civilized people
attempt to establish themselves in wilderness
country. Being piously disposed, they sought
relief from Heaven, by laying their wants and
distresses before the Lord in frequent set days of
fasting and prayer. Constant meditation and
discourse on the subject Of their difficulties kept
their minds gloomy and discontented, and, like
the children Of Israel, there were many disposed
to return to the land which persecution had de-
termined them to abandon.
At length, when it was proposed for the as
sembly to proclaim another fast, . farmer, Of
plain sense, rose and remarked that the incoE
veniences they suffered, and concerning which
they had so often wearied Heaven with their
complaints, were not 50 great as might have
been expected, and were diminishing every day
as the colony strengthened; and that the earth
began to reward their labors, and to furnish lib
orally for their sustenance; that the seas and
rivers were full Of fish, and the air sweet, the c
mate wholesome; above all, they were in full en-
joyment Of liberty, civil and religious lie there
fore thought that rejecting and cOnversing on
these subjects would be more comfortable, as tend
ing to make them more cOntented with their sit.
uatiOn; and that it would be more becoming the
gratitude they owed 10 the Divine Being, il, in
stead Of fast. they should proclaim thanksgiv-
ing. His advice was taken, and, from that day
to this, they have in every year observed cir
cumstances Of public happiness sufficient to fur
nish employment for thanksgiving day."
Curious FAcTs.-A man measures more within
twenty or thirty minutes after rising in the morn.
ing than ut any other period Of the day, the
muscles then being relaxed. An army officer
states that he has seen men who were rejected
the previous day, walk into the orderly room Of
his regiment, hot and steaming from their beds,
near the barracks, get measured and passed as
being Of the proper height lie explains the
cause Of this by stating that the system Is more
/ relaxed at that time.
