THAsKsGIvISG.-To-day our mind runs back
to the many pleasing genes and associations
which this day always brings with 1t IN the
>" white settlements We are constrained to
spend the day in the delightful occupation OF
playing "pull press" and series OF other per-
formances of manual labor by no means interest
ing. We will not even have the satisfaction OF
eating that turkey that ought to have been sent
US by some of our patrons. By the way, here Is
yawning gulf of semi barbarism that threatens
to swallow up and render useless all our efforts
at improvement-the seeming indifference to-
wards the printers comfort. Now, in countries
famous for their advancement and civilization,
the editor is always remembered on such occa-
sons as this by way Of turkey, or some other
equally palatable token. We merely allude to
this as matter of improvement, and trust that
by Christmas or New Years we may be able to
congratulate ourselves upon the advanced state
of our social system.

pA- Governor Pickens' message to the
South Carolina Legislature appears in The
Charleston Mercury of the 10th. 1t is a
curious document, take it all together. In
one paragraph he speaks discouragingly Of
the financial prospects Of the State and tie
Confederscy at large, and in the next boasts
in the true South Carolina style Of the
ability of that State to whip the whole
United States and Jersey. AS a natural
sequence, he also urges upon the Legisla-
ture to increase the "pover and dignity of
the State through her executive officers"
and in almost the same breath talks loudly
about liberty and the rights of citizens.
Take all in all, the message is worthy of the
spirit that concocted and precipitated the
present war upon our couatry.-Ytsaes.
