A Thanksgiving Proclamation.

By the President of the United States proc!ama-
tOn:
The process of the seasons has again en-
abled the husbandman to garner fruit, sue
cessful toll and industry have been gener-
ally we'll rewarded: we are at peace with
all nations; tranquility, with few excep-
tons, prevails at home, and within the past
year we have in main been free from ills
which have elsewhere affected our kind.
If some of us have had calamities. there
should be occasion for sympathy with the
sufferers, and resignation on their part to
the will of the Most High. and rejoicing to
the many who have been more favored.
therefore recommend that on Thursday,
the thirtieth day Of November next, the
people meet in their respective places of
worship, there to make the usual ac-
acknowledgements to Almighty God for the
blessings He has conferred on them, and for
their merciful exemption from evils: invoke
His protection and kindness for their less
fortunate brethren, whom in His wisdom
He deemed i. best to chastise.
In faith whereof have hereuntO set my
hand, and caused the seal of state to be
affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
twenty eighth day Of October, in the year
Of our Lord, eighteen hundred and seventy
one, and Ut the independence Of the United
States the ninety-sixth.

The Oafes RurIes0ue COMPANY.


Mrs. James A. Oates will appear at the
Academy of Music next Monday evening
with her burlesque opera troupe. Of which
the Memphis Appeal says:
Mrs. James A. Oates has come to stay.
The public does not care how long. She
has won golden opinions, and as she rises
in the scale of excellence, so she should in
that of good taste. She is original, and is
therefore charming: She rarely overacts
or exaggerates her idiosynOcrasies. Rude
ness is removed from her role, and she be-
comes magnet 80 full OF electrical force
that she holds spell-bound listeners and
spectators. She addresses the eye as eff
fectively as the ear. A facile actress, she
is also charming cantatrice. She is well
supported, and her troupe, we believe. de
serves the popularity which it has achieved
here and elsewhere. The repertoire of the
company is to be expurgated Of objectiona-
bic matter, and We are therefore well
pleased that Mrs. Oates will appear to-
morrow evening and each night during the
week

Freight Charges by Rail.

We think there must be some mistake in
the statements made by the jackson Pilot
as to freight charges:
The jackson and New Orleans railroad
can beat the world in its exorbitant freight
charges. and the public should order their
freight by river to Vicksburg in preference
to receiving it over this road. We will give
two bills Of freight in proof of what We as
sert.
Fifty-fve boxes and eight kegs from Bos-
ton to New Orleans. seventeen hundred
miles by sea, $l5 As. Same goods from
New Orleans to jackson, one hundred and
eighty-four miles, $4l 05.
Another charge on a little over 400 pounds
of molding from New Orleans to jackson,
So 81.
These charges are enormous. and we
trust that our merchants and individuals
will make through rates for their goods or
stop their patronage to this road.
