NORTH VS.. SoUTH CARoLINA.-The Raleigh
Register asks what claim South Carolina
has upon the cooperation of North Caro-
lima, and adds
It is manifest that in her secession move
South Carolina has taken counsel only OF
what she deems her interests, and has not
eaid any or the slightest attention to the
interests of other States. She wants free
trade and cheap negroes, and she secedes that
she may get them. As far as North Caro-
lima is concerned, we do not remember to
have seen her name mentioned in any of the
speeches and proceedings in South Carolina.
I. is " Carolina" and the Cotton States all
the time, and the existence of North Caro-
lima as a member of this confederacy has
been Ignored by her arrogant and preten-
tious neighbor. Why, then, should North
Carolina tuck herself to the tail OF the
great o. nation of South Carolina and share
the fate which her enormous follies will
bring upon her? North Carolina, we ap-
prehend, is not so enamored of either free
trade or cheap negroes as to leave the Union
to get them Her interests are exactly the
other way in every particular, and If the
great nation of () South Carolina consults
her interests, why may not her more mod
est and unpretending neighbor consult her
interests?

WHY THE REPCBLICAs VOTED FOR DE LA
GuERRA.--It is said that the Republl-
cans in the Senate voted for Pablo De La
Guerra. first because he is native Califor-
nian, and second to beat Clark, becuse he
was Bulkheader. The fact that the Re
publicans had lost many leading natives,
in consequence of reported eickering in
the electoral college, by which Pico, pop
uIar native, was defeated for the position
of messenger, after it had been promised
him. had much to do with the matter; and
by this act of gentle grace toward such
polished gentleman and popular native as
Don Pablo is knqTn to be, they hoped to re-
instate their party in native favor Besides,
Don Pablo before their votes were given
cast aside all party allegiance, ignored party
lines and party issues, and they may have
understood that he is now, and will be in
future, staunch Republican. The San
Francisco and San Mateo Senators were
alive on the bulkhead question, and were
probably afraid of their papers and their
people, and dared not vote for Clark, even

A HINT TO GARDNERs.-The latest lnven-
tion is an instrument to prevent poultry
from scratching up the gardens. 1t Is
something like long spur, attached to the
hind part of a ROSTERS leg. The lhstru-
ment is so arranged that when the fowl IS
about to scratch the earth, the spur catches
in the ground before the fowls foot has
fairly descended, and obliges it to bring its
foot down quietly and harmlessly in front
of the place where it aimed at. The toWI
thereupon tries the other foot with Ike
result. 1t keeps on trying, and before 1t Is
aware of it, the machine has walked 1t
right out of the garden.

a RemarkabIo SPIRITUAL Poem.

The following striking poem was reclted
by Miss Lizzie Doten, Spiritual trance
speaker, at the close of recent lecture in
Boston. She professed to give it impromp-
tu, so far as she was concerned, and to
speak under the direct influence Of the spirit
of Edgar A. Poe. Whatever may be the
truth about its production, the poem is in
several respects remarkable one. Miss
Doten is apparently incapable ef origina-
ting such poem. If it was written for her
by some one else, and merely committed to
memory and recited by her, the poem is
nevertheless wonderful as reproduction
of the singular music and ALTERATION of
Poe's style, and as manifesting the same in
tensity of feeling. Whoever wrote the po-
en- must have been exceedingly familiar
with Poe and deeply in sympathy with his
spirit. But if Miss Doten is honest, and the
poem originated as she says it did, it is un-
questionably the n ost astonishing thing
that Spiritualism has produced. 1t does
not follow necessarily in that case, that
Poe himself made the poem-although we
are asked to believe great many spiritual
things on less cogent evidence-but it is. IN
any view of it that may be taken, very
singular and mysterious production. There
Is IN the second verse an allusion to pre-
vious poem that purported to come from
the spirit of Poe, which was published some
years since. and attracted much attention
but the following poem is of higher order,
and much more like Poe than the other

Pursuant to the request of the General As
sembly of this State, and in accordance with
his own sense of gratitude to Almighty God,
Governor Dennison has designated and set
apart the twenty-eighth day of the current
menth as a day of Thanksgiving. Governor
Dennison has done right. Taking into con-
sideration the request of the General Assem-
bly,, he could not we'll have done otherwise.
1t is wise custom, handed down to US from
generations of pious ancestors, to De espeCi-
ally thankful one day in every year, whether
or not we have any thing in particular to be
thankful for. Our pious ancestors were
wont to 60 into a state of especial humilia-
g tion in the spring, during which they went
without their dinners, and conscientiously
avoided the use of comforting beverages; and
into corresponding state Of jolity in the
fall, upon which occasion they fortified the
inner man with extravagant supplies both of
solid and fluid nutriment These exercises
were thought to be peculiarly gratifying to
the Deity, who was expected to visit equally
with his blessings the starvation of the one
period and the repletion of the other.
If there were no especial misfortunes for
which to be humble when the time for fast
ing arrived, there was a load of sn-au
article of which our pious ancestors seemed
to have extraordinary quantities constantly
on hand; and if there were no signal bless
ipgs for which to be exalted when the day
came for conviviality, it was a proper sub
ject of thanksgiving that things were no
worse.
The practice of our ancestors-we omit to
add the qualifying word pious, for that is
now understOod-was not withoutits worldly
wisdom. They went into sackcloth at the
time of seed-sowing, in order to secure fa-
Vorabe seasons and abundant crops; and
rejoiced when the cider was pressed and the
corn was harvested but however short the
cider or soft the corn, the thanksgiving al
ways came; and for one day, at least, they
were happy. Providence might not have
smiled, but they did nevertheless; and al
though the dispensations from above were
stringent and contracted, the dispensation
below we're as generous as possible.
We have doubtless reason to be Thankful
that matters are no worse; though there
Iesson to suppose that when the General As
sembly made the request for day Of Thanks
giving, different state of things from tn,
present was in contemplation. Our politi
cal crop-the one that just now absorbs the
largest share of our attention-has not, a:
was anticipated, yet been harvested. Indeed
we have the right to say that it is still lying
out, and in condition rather critical thar
otherwise. The fast of the spring does no
seem to have produced the fructifying effec
that was anticipated; and humanely speak
ing, therefore, the thanksgiving is a littl
premature. We shall have to make it, as tn
lawyers say, pro t1ntO-for what. blessings W
haye;.or ss they say again, n,ne pro taHc-iI
consideration of blessings that are yet to al
rive.

The Army In nIIanouri.


Great, and, we suspect just fears are enter.
tanned for the safety of General Fremont's
army in Missouri. He is passing through
what is virtually the enemy's country, and
must necessarily reduce his force rapidly as
he advances by establishing posts to keep up
his line of communication. 1t is evidently
the policy of General Price to lead him for
ward, and not to fight until his army is re-
duced TO numbers inferior to his own. A
large army on a march, with inadequate
means of transportation, will inevitably
leave weak points in its column, affording
the enemy, whose means OF communication
are perfect, opportunities to take advantage
of the circumstances, to cut off detachments
and capture bis supplies and materials.
Within a few weeks, perhaps within few
Gays, the roads in Southern Missouri will
become almost impossible for wagons and
artillery, and advance or retreat will be alike
difficult. A battle resulting dsastrousy
will render an army so slightly amenable to
discipline to q mob and then the consequen.
ces will be terrible. These fears may be
premature end unfounded; but to those who
know the nature of the country, the temper
of the people, and the advantages of which
the rebels are in possession, they look other
wise.

Report of Acknowledgement Thomas to

secretary Cameron.
The report of Adjutant- General Thomas,
who was requested, by Secretary Cameron
on his Western tour, to take notes of what be
saw, and report thereon, is published in the
Gazette of this morning, making about five
columns of that paper. AS between General
Thomas and his friend Mr.. Cameron, such q
proceeding may have been we'll enough, for
the private information of the latter; but
when the thing thus produced is made pub
lie document and given to the world, the
only epithets that can be applied to it are
diSoTderIy, indecent and scdnddIous. It's effect
will be among all sensible men to create a
sentiment in favor of General Fremont and
to arouse feelings of utter disgust not only
against the authors and abettors of the move
ment, but against the Administration which
permits such things to be enacted and such
documents to go before the world.
Admitting all in which there is any ap
pearance of an attempt to prove against
General Fremont, it goes scarcely step to
show either improperly of conduct or unfit
ness for the place which he is called to oc-
cupy; while there is in the collection and
repetition of common scandal in which the
report abounds, enough of the appearance
of malice to throw doubt upon every thing
that is alleged.
If the Government wanted to remove
General Fremont, it might have done so
without raising a question as to his conduct
or his competency. Removal as a penalty
presupposes trial; and to deprive him OF
his command upon mere e1 parte statement
of another officer, and that an Inferior, is
great and manifest injustice.
The friends of General Fremont, while
they will doubtless be angry at the author Of
the report, the Secretary who lent himself to
the business and the Government which per.
mitted it, will have reason to be glad over it
appearance. Its malignity is so patent that
so far as General Fremont is concerned, i
will be more than harmless. 1t will place
him in the position of a wrongfully perse.
cuted man, and will be likely to produce con.
sequences which our weak and incompetent
Admin stration did not anticipate.
