GOULD NUNC.'
GoLDsBoRo', Nov. 3Oth, IS

Dear Progress Yesterday was very prop
erly observed as day of thanksgiving and
PRAYER by the citizens of this town, as | trust
it was by the people, generally, in town and
country throughout the State. Truly, we have
much to be thankful for; and the best way to
insure future blessings is to be properly CRATE
full for past and present blessings. Our stores
were all closed, and all manner of business
SUSPENDED; and at the usual hour for morning
services large portion of the Church-going
people of the town repaired to the N. E. Church,
where they were addressed by the Rev. Z. T..
| Barrett whose discourse consisted principally
| in demonstrating the sinfulnesS and futility OF
endeavoring to defend or propagate christian
| principles by means of the sword, and on the
other hand the propriety Of christian men en-
ploying the sword in defence of their country
from foreign or internal foes.
In the afternoon at o'clock the Odd Fellows
of Neuse Lodge, with a goodly number of citi-
zens, attended the NJ. E. Church, where they
listened to a short but alternately humorous and
eloquent address from P G. NJ W. S. G. An
drews.
At night very respectable congregation were
much pleased and edited by listening to a dis
course appropriate to the occasion at the Bap-
tist Church, by Rev. G. W. Keesee.
During the afternoon the ''Goldsboro Rifles"
turned out in citizens dress, and after parad ng
through several of our streets, halted in front
Of the Wayne Female College, where they fired
several salutes in honor Of the young ladies of
that highly favored institution.
The day was one Of surprising loveliness, and
succeeding as it did, a day of storm and gloom,
I, for one, felt disposed to accept it as token
of future good to our country The misfortune
that befel the secession flag which had been run
up on the Breckenridge poll, by the angry winds
of the proceeding day while the Union flag
that foated from the top of another Brcckin-
ridge pole brayely weathered the $ torn, may
be regarded, also, as an omen of good. May
the glorious Union survive the political storm
that howls around it, and its subsequent Ca
reer be as bright and cheering as the day of
Our last Thanksgi wing Yours, LEMON.

The letter-writers have at last discovered
that President Buchanan is opposed to seces-

to the great secession in 177G, but it went on.
Almost every thing which President Buchan-

NPEEI HE'S &c.
LlzcHBrRc, Va, Nov Ex-senator Douglas
and lady arrived here on the Tennessee train
tonight. He spoke from the balcony of the
Norvel House to crowd of near :, ,000 persons
The subject discussed by him was the present
state of affairs in the country He thought the
election Of Lincoln no cause for a dissolution of
the Union. He was for fighting in the Union
and under the Constitution; thought Southern
Congressman should resume their seats in
Congress, otherwise the Republican party
would be in the majority They 0he Repub,

had said.

tg7 There is at Naples an immense strong wo-
man, about forty years of age, called Donna Mar
ianna, but commonly designated as La S. Giovan-
nara. She keeps little wineshop, habitually
trequented by many of the lower classes, where
they drop in and have their glass of wine just rs
a Londoner would take his pint of half-and half.
This woman is the great popular tribune of Ma
pies. She it is, who, even under the former Gov
ernment, exerted herself in every way for the
purpose of enlisting the lower classes and the az-
zaroni on the Liberal side in word, she has
acted as the bond of connection between the Lib
erals and the lazzaroni, between the rich and
the poor. On those days when the city great
ly ag1tated, the ignorant masses implicitly fol-
lowed her guidance. On Garibaldis arrival she
at once presented herself to him, and was most
cordially received, because Garbaldi especially
likes and trusts the rough children of the people,
such as S. Giovannara and the like. She often
goes to the camp, and some six evenings ago
when at Caserta, there happened to be there
about thirty persons, among them individuals of
high rank, who were waiting to have interviews
with Garibaldi. He was not in the best possible
humor the OCCASION He had been pested
with the Ministerial squabbles, and did not wish
to any one; but on being informed that S.
Giovannara was in the ante-chamber, he said she
alone might come IN. The strong, stalwart wo-
man entered. Garibadi first asked her how she
was and then in the presence of Generals Turr,
Bixio, and many other officers he said to her,
Nov give me a kiss She gave him one and
then said she would like to have another and
She does not dress with the least elegance, but
merely after the usual fashion of her class. A
dark cotton gown, large dark shawl with red
flowers and nothing her head. By her side
she carries two revolvers and a dagger. She
walks very gently and speaks very little. She
has severe but selfsatisfied expression.-
She has, in short, the air of person of impor-
tance When she shakes hands with you at par
ting, she seems to look you through and through,
and mods, as much to say, we understand one
other.
Gov. PACKER AND THE ABoLIT1oNIsTs-
PACKER, of Pennsylvania, few days ago, re-
ceeiVed letter, signed by James Relpath, on
behalf of several young men in Boston, reques-
ting him to attend convention in that city,
to devise measures to abolish slavery. Gov P's
reply is as follows:

Nov. p, 1860.
Ser: In my opinion the young men whose
names are attached to the foregoing letter
would better serve God and their country by
attending to their own business. John Brown
was rightfully hanged, and his fate should be
a warning to others having similar proclivi-
ties. WIN. f. PACKER

eks5- In late number Of the Nashville Banner,
appeared card, signed by the passengers of the
steamer John Fisher when that boat ran against a
pier of our ralroad-brdgc, in which card said pas
sengers ladies and all gravely pronounce our bridge
an obstruction to navigation and nuisance We
have noticed before this that all the collisions Of
steamboats, with these piers, are chroncled in the
Nashville papers, but we % not now remember to
have seen any account Of such events at Nashville
and it. therefore, follows that they either
cur there or else there is motive in publishing
oil such as occur here, and suppressing such as
occur there. If they occur at Nashville, then
that fact makes it plain that they are the result OF
carelessness or design, or drunkness here, for be-
fore reaching Nashville going up, and in leaving
there, coming down, boats have to pass piers just
such as are hereunder bridge just like ours Be
sides this they havea suspension bridge at Nashville
that frequently in of sudden rise in the river
prevents boats from coming out or compes them to
let down their chimnies and yet we hear nothing
Of either Of these bridges obstructing navigation
The distance between the middle piers of our bridge
where the boats pass is hundred and hcenty feet
boat in the river and it does seem to us that this
gives room enough for the meanest pilot on it
Several accidents, ii they SUCH have occurred al
our bridge, but, as we have already said we cannot
see why they do not occur just sften at Nashville
-sthey do occur there bridge is just as much {
'nuisance' aud sob. truction" as the other, ant
should be equally condemned; and, if they do no
occur there then It follows Of course that they ma,
he as easily avoided here. As 10 boats suing oul

ming against tie piers here, reckon they would
find that it ant us good thing ms it looks to be
We hope, if such suits are ever brought, that th'
Company will at The same time, sue the boats TO
damage to their piers. We know Of one regu.a
pilot, at least that says that good pilot need have
any trouble in passing our bridge that he woul'
no; ask any more room than is there, and can e
