NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.
ny TRn PnEsIDpNT OF THE UNITED
t STATES.


- ~ " - - W - ~ 49,
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, has
been pleased to vouchsafe to us, as a people,
another year Of that national life which is an
indispensable condition of peace, security
and progress. That year has, moreover, been
crowned with many peculiar blessings.
The civil war that so recently closed among
us has not been anywhere reopened. Foreign
intervention has ceased to excite alarm or
apprehension. Intrusive pestilence has been
benignly mitigated. Domestic tranquility
has improved, sentiments ofconciliation have
largely prevailed, and affections of loyalty
and patriotism have been widely renewed.
Our fields have yielded quite abundantly.
Our mining industry has been richly re-
warded, and we have been allowed to extend
our railroad system far into the interior re-
ceases Of the country, while our commerce
has resumed its customary activity in foreign
seas.

praise to Almighty God with due remem-
brance that "in His temple doth every man
speak of His honor" | recommend, also,
that, on the same solemn occasion, they do
humby and devoutly 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 thanksgivngs
praises and supplications, we have the divine
assurance that 1.-The Lord remaineth king
forever; them that are meek shall He guide
in judgment, and such as are gentle shall He
learn His way. The Lord shall give strength
to His people, and the Lord shall give to His
people the blessing of peace"

Exodus Of Cyprians-A Cargo OF
GOurtesans Embarked Tor the
Crescent City.

From the New York News, October 2.
On Saturday the steamship Evening Star
sailed from this port for New Orleans, bear
ing hence eghty-seven prostitutes. 1t is
custom among the matrons Of the large as
signaton houses of Havana, New Orleans
and other Southern cities, at the opening OF
the fall season, to visit the Northern States
and spend month or six weeks in seeking
and selecting the most fascinating beauty
that may be found in the houses OF prostitu-
ton in New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
and these they consign to their bagnos in
the South.
Last month Blanca Robbins, Jennie King,
Flora Bedell, Susan Kingsley, and several
other well-known keepers Of fashionable
mansions of pollution in New Orleans, ar
rived in this city, and at once commenced
their search for supply Of fresh victims to
All the places Of those of whom they had
been relieved by removal or death. After
weeks they succeeded in procuring the mum,
her requisite to fill their almost deserted
harems; and on this occasion the number
who embarked on board the Evening Star
was, as we have already said, eighty,seven
some of them the most accomplished, hand
soonest and INSCRIPTIONS lOrettes to be
1 found in the giided brothels of this city.
Every available state.room on the Evening
Star which could be procured had been en-
gagged in advance of the hour Of sailing, ant
into these were packed two or three girls &c
each room. 30 sudden had been this ar
rangement that passengers who were bount
to the Crescent City on business found them
selves deprived of the ordinary sceommoda
tons by this remarkabl lie cargo Of the lost
Blanca Robbins, well known Throughout
the South as the mistress Of one of the mos
elegant and costly houses In New Orleans

twenty. Jennie King, of almost equally ex
tensiys reputation managed for the transpor
tation of twenty while Flora Bedell ant
Sugar Kingsley provided for fifteen and tel
secured by other mistresses, who provided
for groups Of from three to five, making al
aggregate Of eighty-seven.

o'clock precisely, and long before that hou

Wages a. Affected by the Currency.

Hon. AMAsA WALKER, 10 Massachusetts
radically in his work on 1.-THE Science Of
Wealth" has an interesting chapter on the
manner in which wages, rent, interests, and
profits are relative ely affected by currency
initiation. His estimates are, that wages on
IN average, take the country through, have
advanced fifty per cent; that is where a work
man got one dollar before the war, he gets
one dollar and half now; where he got two
before he now receives three dollars. Inter-
est, he calculates, has advanced generally
ION all except permanent mortgages) 20 per
cent; that is from to 80. Rents he esti-
mates, have advanced generally to an equal
extent with interest that is 20 per cent,
though he says that in commercial centres
they have advanced more. Profits have ad-
vanced one hundred per cent, that is, have
doubled. This last is low estimate. After
this statement he inquiries, What is the re-
suit Of this? who wins in consequence Of this
rise in wages rents interest and profits &C.
casioned by the initiation Of the currency?
Prices rise to an unprecedented height, say
to 100 per cent" The result to the laborer
he states as follows: Where his wages were
$500 per annum they are now $3.50. This
last sum is laid out in commodities and
brings him S204.54 worth as reckoned al
prices before the rise. So, from $500 deduct
what he actually gets, s2O4.54, and we fine
his loss to be S65.46, or nearly one-third o
his real wages, or what they were before thu
expansion"

WASHINGTON, October 9, 1850,

Col. E. B. Taylor, Superintendent of In
dian Affairs for the Northern Superintend-
ency, has, in letter dated Omaha, Nebras-
ka, September 30, 1866, transmitted to the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs a commune
cation of Major Gen. W. +. Cloud, special
agent appointed by the Governor OF Kansas
to investigate certain murders and other
outrages committed against the citizens OF
Western Kansas during the past spring and
summer. Gen. Cloud reports seven murders
by the Indians in the month Of May. appa-
rently committed by Pawnees and Ottoes.
In the month of July settlement upon
White Rock river was visited by Pawnees,
who plundered it and subjected a woman to
ravishment. In August Pawnees and Oma-
has, to the number of over eight hundred,
visited settlement upon tributary Of the
Solomon river. and drove away the settlers,
claiming the land as being part of their
hunting ground. Gen. Cloud remarks that
these oft-repeated outrages had caused de-
termination ON the part of the citizens of the
entire State to obtain Justice and insure
safety.
The Superintendent is Of opinion that the
Pawnees and Omahas are not the guilty par
ties in these reported outrages, which were
probably committed by the Ottoes.
