The LONDON TINES IN Coop HuNon.-The
London Times INDUCES In q pleasant piece of
ridicule over the Presidents manifesto to the
Illinois delegation. Failing to damage this
country by argument and abuse, and by its at
tempts TO embroil the North and South still
deeper in the present quarrel, by giving aid and
comfort, material aud moral, to the rebels, the
press Of England turns to ridiculing the public
documents emanating from the national Execu-
tive and the administration. II Is not the first
time that John Bull laughed at American pro-
ducts Of hand and brain, and was glad enough
afterwards 10 adopt them. We remember that
our agricultural implements were sneered at
but we see then now Oh many an English
farm. Our navy, too, was adverted TO with
contempt; but the war Of 1872 changed that
tune, and England has learned some lessons In
shipbuiljing, we opjnc. from this side OF the
water within few years past. SO with our
improvements In guns our inventions were
laughed at; but Ill England now stands aghsst
a, the immensity Of the power which our heavy
guns exhibit both on sea and land The Dccla-
ration OF Independence was at one time ridicu-
led; hut its validity was established for all that
The New York herald., 1863-10-05

may be calculated by the fact that dispatches
from Richmond recently announced that Gen.
weit1el had not only been defeated in a
late action in the interior of Louisiana, but
was killed on the field. The steamer George
Washington, which arrived at this port on
Saturday from New Orleans, brought news
that there is no truth whatever in the report
either of General Weitzel's defeat or death.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION OF THE PREsr.
DENT.-There is popularity about the history
ofthanksgiving Of days and thanksgiving procla-
nations worthy Of note at this time. Originally
they came from the Puritans Of New England,
and we're gradually adopted by the Governors Of
States as the country grew larger; but in every
instance they emanated from the State Executive
and became, as it were, by concession Of pub
lie sentiment part aud parcel of State rights.
After the Mexican war it was urged upon old
Zachary Taylor during his term Of Office, to APP
point day of general thanksgiving for the
victories of the American arms; put he demur-
red, upon the plea that it would be interfering
with the privileges of the State Governors,
which custom had 80 long sanctioned and
guaranteed os prerogative It happens
now that President Lincoln has appointed
for thanksgiving to the Almighty for the gene
raj prosperity OF the country, even in its pre-
sent difficulties, for the successes Of the Union
armies. and the abundance of the harvest. the
same day that the Governor Of Massachusetts,
has set apart for that purpose-namely, tho last
Thursday in November. 1t ia probable that
hereafter the day will be set apart as one Of
the national holidays

Foreign Crops.

The Londen Daily News says that owing to the large
increase in the YIELD the harvest is estimated be worth
600 to 10000 900 than that of last year,
and there will consequently be necessity for the i'm
portaon Of large supplies of breadstufs from abroad
The abundant crops in England and in Europe gener.
ally, will tell upon the Yankee finances long aud
stimulate the movement already making rapid Roadway
towards general smash up. The short crops in Europe
the past three years necessated the shipment of i'm
mense amounts OF breadstuffs from this side which
abed tho Yankees to pay their foreign debts and pre-
vented exchange from ruling ruinousy high against
them Cut off from this resource and it is the only one
they have now that the cotton Of the South has gone
from them forever they will be obliged to pay their

duce financial explosion, which will carry ruin and
bankruptcy all over the North and render Mr. Chases
''greenbacksP worthless medium of general circu-

While the foreign cereal crops have proved unusually
abundant, the same crops in YaukeedOm have turned

The Next Yankee Presidency.

The Ohio Statesman says That Mr. Lincoln, Mr.. Cha G
aud Mr. Seward ara understood to be rival candidates
for the next Presidency. The Statesman thinks Mr.
Lincoln is determined to be reelected or, at all events
that he will retain his Office Tor another term, and is Of
the opinion that the chief rivalry is between him and
Chase. In order to checkmae his adversary, Lincoln
will go far in radical direction as due sOlicitude
for success will permit him, aud the Statesman thinks
his platform has been oreshadoWed in the recent letter
of Mr. Solicitor Whiting which We have published, and
in an article from Mr. Sumner, in the AHdte Monthly,
which received the sarcton and approval Of Mr. Liz
coin before publication.
This article clearly deveOpea the purpose announced
in Whiiogs letter. to treat the seeded States as cot
quered provinces and all the people Of these States
conquered vGssa with absolutely rights except such
as radical majority in Congress may choose to coni,
provided they can conquer US.
To this complexion, concludes the Statesman, has it

Of facts will convince the reader that General Orders
No. 81 Of March 10 b, which the Department would
have the public believe have governed mpressing officers
rom the time they we're issued till the present day,
have not in reality been in force since the passage of
the Impressment Act Those orders bear date March
10TH 1858. The Impressment AcE was approved and
signed by the President March 26 h. 1863 Orders No.
81 we're predcated on what the Department understood
TO be It's powers and duties before the enactment OF the
aew law But when that IaW passed, changing the
powers aid duties of the War Department. it became
necessary that the orders and regulations of the Depart
ment to its impressing officers should be changed Ac'
oOrdingl on the 9th OF April 1868, General Orders
No. 81 were published, prescribing rules aud reguja'
tons for the enforcement of the mpressment Act and,
OF course supersedng and annulling all orders issued
before that act was passed. General Orders NO 81
very carefully omit the paragraph in General, Orders
No 81 which fOrbids the impressment of supplies on
their way to market The attempt Of the Department.
therefore to make tappear that General Orders No. 81
have been in force all this while, and that its impress
ngocers have been acting under them is dsingenuous,
and incompatible with the candOur which should ever
characterize the agents and servants of the people in
dealing with the people.
But without saying this point at present, We
roa the expression of qualification, that the SUI
perseded orders OF March 18th are revived. We only
fear that this act Of justice the large portion of the
