THE CHRISTOPHER PLAGUE.

Apprehensions are expressed that next year
the g.asshQpper plague will extend itself to the
cast of the Missouri river, and coger a wide area
of country. The grasshopper column that
started upon the far western plains a month
since, have swept through strip of country
about sixty miles wide-the Kansas Nebraska
dividing line being about the centre Of their
march-and have come to the Missouri river
too late to cross. But they have laid their eggs
and left their mission to those that shall come
after. The ground is thickly strewn with dead
grasshoppers, and is perforated with holes
wherein the females have deposited their Larvae
The Atchison Free Press says:
dig in at random with koife blade, lift up
little of the surface Of the SOIL and very likely
you will at the first attempt uuearsh little
white column like the pith of rush, and open
ing this, you will find a number of eggs like
snt's eggs, closely packed together We dug
up some of their deposits aud found in one of
them tweuty-eight Of the larvae, and in several
Others more than twenty. The cavity is lined
with ap impervious coating of whitish gum,
which incloses the eggs or larvae, and the aper-
ture above the eggs is closely filled also nearly
TO the SURFACE with this white substance, which
probably serves the double purpose of prote elton
10 the larvae and food for the young. Next
summer these will come out as minute CRASH op-
pers, and in the fall, if some accident does not
destroy them, they will be such pests as lave
ipst now been among US"

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.

The following is the proclamation OF the
President appointing Thanksgiving day:
By the President of the United States-44
Proclamation.
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, has
been pleased to vouchsafe to US, as people
another year Of that national life, which is an
INDISPENSABLE condition of peace, security and
progress That year, moreover, has been
crowned with many peculiar blessings. The
civil RaE that recently closed among US has not
been anywhere re opened. Foreign interven-
ton has ceased to excite alarm or apprehension;
intrusive pestilence has been beaigny mitiga-
ted; domestic tranquility has improved; sentl-
ments of Cancellation have largely prevailed,
and affections Of loyalty ADD patriotism have
been widely revived; our fields have yielded
quite abupdantly; our mining Industry has been
Iichly rewarded, and We have been allowed TO
extend our Railroad system far into the interior
recesses of the CouGtry; while our commerce
has resumed its customary activity in foreign
seas. These great national blessings demand a
national acknow Iedgment.
Now therefore, L, Andrew johnson, Presi
dent of the United States, do hereby recon-
mend Thursday, the 18th day of November
next. be gel. apart and be observed everywhere
in the several States aud Territories of the Uni
ted States, by the people thereof, as day OF
thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God, with
due remembrance that Gin His temple doth
every man speak of His Honor"
3 recommend, also, that on the same solemn
occasion, they do humbly and honestly implore
Him to grant to our National Councils, and to
our whole people, that Divine wisdom which
alone can lead any nation into the ways OF all
good.
In offering these national thanksgisings, prai-
ses and supplicatsns, we have the Divine assn
rance that "ihe Lord remaineth King FOREVER y
Them that are meek shall He guide in judg,
ment, and such as are gentle shall he learn bis
way. The Lord shall give strength to His PEG
pie; and the Lord shall give to His people the
blessing of peace"
In witness whereof, have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal Of the United States
to be affixed
Done at the City Of Washington, this eighth
day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1866,
and of the Independence of the United States
the ninety first.

The people of Calhoun county, in this State,

that their Sheriff has been obliged to resign his
