Misunderstanding Day,

In obedience to time-honored custom,
Gov. Senter has designated Thursday, the
18th inst, as day of Thanksgiving, to be
observed by the people of the State. The
same day has been set apart by the Presi-
dent as a day of National Thanksgiving.
Tennesseeans have certainly much to give
thanks for The Great Ruler of the Uni
verse has bounteously blessed US with an
abundant harvest; good health has prevail
ed, and no general Affections have befallen
us. We have been blessed with the fat
of the land, and the granaries of
Egypt are ours. Unnumbered bless

us. It is meet that we should give
thanks and bend the knee to the Most
High for these tokens of His kindness to-
ward us. We have recovered from the re-
suits of terrible war in all, save the heart
sores of bereavement, which time and
Divine consolation alone can heal; we have

dance of every needful want from the great
store-house of nature. We have been led
by fountains of living water, and have
been caused to lie down in green pastures,
and rc bdCe been relieged Of the Court Of
County Commissioners.
As a nation we have been blessed more

New Eheater.

The audience at the new theater last
night was large and appreciative. The rem
dition of the characters of the various per-
formers was good, and was so decided by
the audience from the enthusiasm which
prevailed. The presentation of ''Othello,
impersonated by Mr.. Edmond Dalton, was
well received. Miss johnson as ''Desdemo-
ma" rendered her characterize perfection, and
was frequently applauded. The others,
excepting some slight imperfections, filed
the bill precisely. After the conclusion OF
the tragedy, Mr.. Dalton was called

WORREEL SISTERS.
Now Amusements.

As will be seen from their announce
ment in another column, this well known
and far-famed company, will commence
an engagement in our city on Monday
night. They have an acknowledged and
established reputation throughout the
country. They not only afford amusement
but combine with it instruction and refine
ment No company in the country stand
higher than this. The subjoined review
from one of the Louisville papers, at the
close of an engagement in that city, is
merited and will afford some idea to those
who have not seen them, of the rare en-
joyments in store for them next week:
In reviewing the engagement of the
Worrell sisters at the Academy of Music
during the past week, the two points that
especially attract the attention Of the criti-
cal observer is the intrepidity of their
management and the excellence of their
burlesque company. At a time when, in
almost every department Of business, the
favorite policy is retrenchment, the Wor-
rell sisters have adopted the holder and
better policy Of liberality, and for the sake
of having the best burlesque company now
travelling, have nearly doubled their ordi-
nary expenses. The result can be seen in
the uniform superiority that marks the
presentation of their repertoire. So far
they have produced ''The Field of the
Cloth Of Gold, ''Lallah Rookh, Gin
derella," 'Ixion, or the Man at the
Wheel, and la Grande Duchesse." To-
night they play, for the first time, the new
and popular burlesque Of ''Black Eyed
Susan" This last piece was recently pro-
duced with great success at Wallack's, in
New York, and is highly commended by
the metropolitan press. All their cos
tunes are new, tastefully adapted to the
various characters represented in their
pieces, and of rich material-not cheap or
gaudy limitations depending on distance
and the gaslight to cheat the eye. Every
detail in their pieces is so entirely proper
as to make them thoroughly enjoyable.
Miss Sophie, the elder sister, IS the mer-
REST most mischievous, and bewitching
actress of her time, in her peculiar line OF
art: she is the perfect incarnation of girlish
| grace and charming righteousness, withal,
a studious, painstakin artistic. No faint Of
| tameness mars her acting, and no air OF
effort makes it artificial.
Miss Trenes approximations are always
| characterized by a great precision Of
method, ana TeHneu anu utllcaJe uuInOl
| that ever charms and never offends; while
her beauty, mirth, dignity, and quaint man,
ner make her a worthy associate for hel
| sister.
Sixteen other names appear upon the
list, some of which are not specially famous
now, but are destined to be remembered
with honor, in the future history of the
stage. Taking the company as an entirety,
we unhesitatingy pronounce it the best
burlesque company that ever appeared IL
this city, or the superior of any now travel
| ing in the United States. 1t is a rare and
| delightful combination"
They will unquestionably have a success
full engagement in our city during the siI
nights Of their sojourn.
