BY the Governor of the State Of Mis-
slssippi.
The return of the autumn suggests ex-
pressions OF appreciation for benefits con-
ferrcd. 1t is the season OF ripened fruits
and Of garnered harycsts, the time when
the balmy breath OF health banishes the
languor OF summer, and the sheen Of
beauty is thrown over our whole country,
limitless in its resources and unparalleled
in it, government
Seasonable sowings and careful culture,
unblessed, cannot enrich mankind. The
strictest conformity to hygiene alone will
not suffice TO preserve health. Ccaseless
vigilance cannot unaided, purchase
national prosperity; therefore, supreme
recognition and ultimate thanks are due to
the universal Hushandman, 10 the great
Physician, TO the Omnipotent Ruler.
The people OF the great commonwealth
of Mississippi have abundant reason SIN
cerely to feel, and revocntly to express,
their dcvout thankIulness to the Giver OF
all good. Peace rcigns throughout her
borders, and good will prevails among her
people. Although bhghting storms have
swept over the harvest fields, yet album
dance has been lett to lill tho land with
plenty, The pestlcnco that walketh in
darkness waved its black plume with omin-
business only sufficient toincrcasc gratitude
for escape from a widely prevailing con
tagion.
Now, therefore, J. Robert Lowry, Gov
ernor OF the state OF Mississippi, do APP
point Thursday, November 20, 1855, as n
day OF thanksgiving and prayer. And
do most respectfully yet earnestly, recon-.
mend that on that day ordinary business
be suspended, and that all our people,
without reference 10 creed, color or coudi-
ton, do repair to their respective places Of
worship 10 acknowledge, with reverence
and glalness Of heart, the bountcous pro-
vision and benelcIout administration Of
Almighty God
i do furthermore recommend that the
day may be celebrated hya generous relief
Of the wants OF thr poor aud that the

Concerning strikes

Br dstrcers shows that there we're
,o6 strikes during the year l701, IN
volving $4,000 strikers. For 1856 there
we're $50 notable strikes, involving
10000 -trikers. Thus it appears that
organized outbreaks were TWO aud
onc-lAit times greater in 1857 than III
1856, while he number OF strikers
involved wa. almost onC-iOurth less.
There were twenty lockout, last year
affecting 5000 employees, ana ten
lock outs in $50, affecting $4,000
"TWo-,hird- OF the strlk rs,

of them concerned trades union de-

strikes last year gained their points,
while bat 20 per cent gained the year

] 300 industrial strikes in two years,
involving $4,000 employees, only
about 80 per cent. gained their points.
