The bids for carrying the mails in Virginia, North and South Carolina and Florida are largely in excess of the rates, formerly paid for the same service. There has been unusual activity in military ciiclee in New 0,-leans, since the reception of dispatches from the Rio Grande, and exciting rumors are in cireulatioc there.

The fact that a number of military men are soon to leave on a Sooih-rn tour has given rise to a report tba: Mexico is their .final destiawtsoß. aad that they ‘ will not retsrc until the French auldien ' are driven from uufortssave Mexico. The Mississippi Legislature has passed a bill for the support of wounded and disabled soldiers. Colonel Graves left Kansas yesterday for the Navajo country, with a wagoc train of implements, etc., for the Indians. Aller the reading of the minutes, a petition was presented to change the law; authorizing the granting of licenses to • aell liquor, which was referred to the . Commitlee oa Temperance.

Herald The Special Session Message. i The Gn’.Sf&or haring failed, in bis ' proclamation summoning the special session of the Legislature, to specify any reason for its assembling, there stems to Lave Veen conn derable want of interest manifest d, and still seems to be, ia it so much, indeed, that we fear, but hope the contrary, that it will, so far as the public interest is concerned, be a failure. Several of the members are absent, and the attendance of others, we fear, will be irregular, on account of others engigemeets. The House continued the organization of the regular session, and the Senate org-iu'sed anew. Ths m-ssage of the Governor has been delivered, and fails, ias we are bonnd to say, to give any sufficient reason for the call of the ex’ra •eesion. As the dept is not due, by the Govenor's own admission, aul as the Jo>ir tai, Lis organ, has shown long ago. | no haste was required in this matter, and no oilier subj*ot before tbe Legisla ure was of mameni enough to justify the expense of an extra session. We candidly suspect that as the Governor had concluded to spend his gubernatorial term in a pleasan; heal.h-restoring Eircpesu tour (we wish we were able to take such a cue) Le desired, before, parting from his paopfo, to appear once more before them, upon an occasion that would enable Lios to, and justify him in, giving them his counsel and direction as to the poll icai laii'h and practice they should adhere to while he m ght be absent and publicly to present the chart of duty and the mantle of authority to tbe political Joshua who is to command the Republican hosts during the foreign travels of tris Excellency. This is all well enough, tnongb tbe parting entertainment be somewhat expensive. The Goveror recommends the westing of the various funds of the State ia tbe bonds of the State, wi-Kth, of course, is mdireetiy advising the raising of the interest oa the b.uds, and itcressing tbe burdens of the S.ats. If the creditors, as the Governor says, took tbe bonds, payieg two aud a naif per eeut, ia a fair setUemenc, at that rate of interest, payable as soon after tae expiration of twenty years as was reas oaible eonveoieal for tbe State, then that 72$ tLcxr coumaCl, nfiu Bey Yottfouarj in crease of that rate o', interest on the part of the Stale, msy, perhaps, make a speculation for somebody in raising the price of the bonds, if io no other way, at tne expense of the tax payers of Indiana. ; This it o subject requiring further ex- . aminasioa lithe bonds are suffered to remain as • they are, tbe State pays but two and a I half per cent He recommends .an enumerauon of the inhabitants; homes for juvenile offenders, an instituriau demanded, we think by the rapid increasof crime, which is filling our penileaiiariea and jails to overflowing, as well as by justice and good policy toward young, unburdened offenders. Such ought not ‘to be sent among old and experienced criminals, nor toojevere’.y"disgraced. A I Soldiers’ and Seamen's Hose is also advised. Negro testimony and n’gro public schools are recommended. On account , of the decision in the case of Peppernet at vs. The State, in 22 Ind., a case • which has just been sustained in the New York Court v s Appeals, the Governor prop.-riy recomm'. n -d» legislauou on the subject of official bunds. The restoration of the jurisdiction or gland juries i is advised; also that we be represented at the Paris World’s Fair, in April next. The message speaks favorably of the establishment of a Normol School, favors paying the Morgan raid damages, justly , compliments the brave Indiana soldiers, rvCtTOSacuds tfae trial ut Jiff Davis ; s

The Message is well written, is in go>l temper, but consaiua aovhmg new. It is a good embodiment of the general views, every day exproased, of tne Conservative wing of the Repubusen party- As ba makes so referease to the White Waler Valley trills, we suppose they did not form any consideration with the Executive for ‘ . ca.ring tbe spacial session, and, we repeat bo sufficient reason is given for its being ' summoneiL Os euorae, tb>- busty perusal we Imve given tba message does not enable us to comment so cnusally upon parts of it as we may desire to do hereafter. Il leaves upon us t:>o impression that tbe extra session will be a failure but we hope it may not be utterly so. If as is reported, the Governor is about to leave for Europe Ou account of his health we know o< no better opportunity we shall have for so doing than now, in all sincerity, to wish him a pleasant trip and : a speedy return, with perfect restoration to health an 4 to ths puixic str vice. — 7nd.

Tbe lime having arrived for the deliv- ■ ery of the Governor's Messasr* ;he Senate was invited to seats in the House, and soon thereafter that body arrived, with UvuL Governor Baker at their head. ' The Joint Session was opened by prayer I by the Rev Mr. ILllidny. Immediately after the prayer tbe Governor entered ‘ the Hill and delivered hi- message after which the House adjourned util two o’clock. The afternoon session was principally occupied in the consideration of bills Among others, one increasing the fees ot Recorder, and empowering tl.etn to col leei the inns in advaooe, gave rise to con--i-LraL’e debate; action was finally post- . poned. A bill of more than ordinvry importance Wis introduced prior to adjourn meat to change tho number of Senators and Representatives, reducing tlw House to sixty-seven and the Senate to twenty-1 five. The Republican members appear atixi.us fx the passage of thia bill. In order to give the members lime io weigh well the matter, the further consideration of tbe subject was poetpooed until this morning.

The closing scenes of a looet evecUui year bring them tha appropriate time to offer unto Divine Providence Use tribute of our thanksgiving end praise. li here-. tofore, such rimes have been observed, in anywise, in obedience to the demands us . cusiom, rather than as a grateful offering , to God, the signal mereiea and kindness we have, as a nation, been made tbe recipients of during the present year, should surely awaken us to a newer and fuller realization than ever of the reverence and gratitude due Him who holdcth the des- . tiaies of the Nations in His hands. Our long and bloody cavil war ia ended, and Peace again smiles upon the fond; and tbe end shows that God has been with uh, giving victory to our armies, and , guidmg the councils of tbe nation. Our harvest? nave been plenteous, and lie rewards of every branch Übwr and ;

Neither famine aor pestilence has been known in our borders, and although we are called upon k, foment ibe loss of many of our brave soldiers who have given ineir lives as at sacrifice for their country, yet the return .ofso many thousands to their homos,front bbxidy fields made illustrious by their rs.or, is a source of joy to all. Tha future I is full of hope tor the enduring peace and prosperity of the State, and illimitable preepecls for National progress, power j sad glory, are spread out before us. In view of these many blessings, and,, ‘rn compliance, not only with custom, but, the convictions of duty, I do hereby ap- } point Tuvhsoat, the 7th of Dzcsuskr next, as s day of Thanksgiving and praise 1 to Almighty God for Ills mercies, and earnestly reccmmend to the people of Indiana that hying askle their ordinary avocations. they assemble themselves together in their usual places of worship, sod observe that day rn the manner de signated, bringing to God ths ineens* o’ • grateful hearts, and not forgetting to I stare their abuodao-e with the poor aud needy around them. 1 lw Witnzss Whesbof, I have hereunto I set my hand at the Executive Chamber in Indianapolis, this 13. h day of Novem her, 1565. _ - - ■' Attest: OLIVER P.

We publish ibetn as likely to be useful to those who are willing to take the bint: "I never,” said the pickpocket, “attempt to pick the pocket of an edd resident of Ike eity, but unilormiy strangers and countrymen.” But, oa being asked bow be diskinguish&d them, replied, "very ' easily," and gave the following list of persons who were regular victims of tbe craft: "Persons in an omnibus wbo take out their pocket books after tbe stage stops, | ire sure to be countrymen. Those who stop to converse en the sidewalks or thoroughfares, or take out pocket books at lha box or pit offices tn the theatres or steamboat offices. All those wbo stop to I gaxe at shop windows, or count rnooey, <x show pocket books in the street, or call 1 in the Funk anettoa rooms. All these,” | he said, “are our common victims. HI; (find a man eating oysters or fruit, or carrying aa open knife in the street, in nine , times out of ten be is green, and we vio- ; timize him. Persons who stand up in a theatre, or siaad on the cross-walks, are generally country folks, and we make sure of them.” Tbe shrewdness of these observations ' M she pickpocket must be obvious to al. city people, and accounts for the remark-1 able last that the city residents seldom suffer by the operations 0/ these light fingered gc-atry.
