Thanksgiving exclamation.

The following is the Presidents
proclamation designating Thursday,
the 28th instant, as day of national
thanksgiving and praise:
PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
In conformity with recent custom,
that may now be regarded as estab-
lished on national consent and ap-
proval, I, Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States. do hereby
recommend to my fellow-c citizens that
Thursday, the twenty eighth day Of
November next, be set apart and OBJ
served throughout the Republic rs
day of national thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty Ruler of
Nations, with whom are dominion
and fear, who makcth peace in his
high places
Resting and refrain;ng from sccu-
lar labors on that day, let us reve-
rently and devotedly give thanks to
our Heavenly Father for the mercies
and blessings with which He has
crowned the now closing year. Es-
pecially let us remember that He has
covered our land, through all its cx-
tent, with greatly needed and very
abundant harvests; that He has
caused industry to prosper, not only
III our fields, but also in our work
shops, in our mines, and in our
forests. He has permitted us to null
tiply ships upon our lakes and rivers,
and upon the high seas, and ut the
same time to extend our iron roads so
far into the secluded places of the
continent as to guarantee speedy
overland intercourse between the two
oceans.
He has inclined our hearts to turn
away from domestic contentious and
connections, consequent upon dis
tracing, desolating civil war, and to
walk more and more in the ancient
ways of loyalty, Cancellation and bro
therly love. He has blessed the
peaceful efforts with which we have
established new and important COM
mercial treaties with foreign nations,
while we have, at the same time,
strengthened our national defences,
and greatly enlarged our national
borders.
While thus rendering the unani-
nous and heartfelt tribute of ma
tional praise and thanksgiving, which
is SO justly due to Almighty God, let
us not fail to implore Him that the
same divine protection and care
which we have so undcservedly and
yet so constantly enjoyed, may be
continued to our country and our
people throughout all their genera
tions forever.

"The Radical Convention to nomi-
nate candidates to represent this Dis

The INDIAN SUMNER. month,
November, has been pronounced the
gloomiest month of the year, and
was styled by the Saxons Wint-monat,
or tho wind month, from the gales
that are prevalent ct this season of
the year. 1t was also called the Blot
aonath, or the bloody month, from
the large number of cattle that were
then slaughtered for winter use. In
more temperate climes there is, per-
haps, less enjoyment derivable from
external objects in November, than
in any Of the twelve divisions of the
year; it has been popularly regarded
as the month of blue devils and sui
cides, but in this climate it is bright
and cheerful season. The Indian
Summer frequently extends through
the entire month, and the beautiful
weather then enjoyed, makes it ono
of the most eXhilarating months of
the year.

SEA ISLAND PLANTERS. The Char
lesion NewS says:
1t is proposed to hold convention
of the Sea Island planters on the
first of December, in this city, to
consider the necessities of the sea
coast vi South Carolina, and to pro-
vide for the prosecution of planting
during the coming year. The sug-
gestion is an excellent one. It is
hoped that delegate will be ap-
pointed by each community as ad-
vised; and there is little doubt that
free discussion, and concert of action,
will enable the planters to overcome
many of the difficulties which now
besct them, and which have added to
the already ruinous effects of an un-
propitious season.

BUTTONS. "misery of but
tons" is thus described by an Eng
lish writer: "Sartorial ingenuity has
not yet attained to the manufacture
of masculine garments unencumbered
with the dire nuisance of buttons.
1t is not too much to say that's mans
whole comfort during the day is
dependent on. the state of his buttons.
The sudden detection of a button,
when the sufferer is beyond the reach
of all remedial assistance, puts him
to misery and perhaps to shame"
