EVANSVILLE. IND. P.

THURSDAY MORNING. ..HOVEMBEE 25 READING MATTER. ON EVERY PAGE. As our employees desire to appro priately celebrate Thanksgiving day, there will be no paper issued from this office tomorrow. Thanksgiving. If we pause in the midst of our occupations long enough to reflect a few moments, we will find much that has transpired within the past year to excite emotions of gratitude. It is said that blessing3 brighten as they take their flight. Meditation makes them appear equally radiant. This day has been set apart by the Governors of a majority of the States, as a day of thanksgiving a day in which the blessings of the past year should be called to mind, and the incense from grateful hearts ascend toftho " Giver of every good and perfect gift." In the New England and Mi.Llle Slates, Thanksgiving is becoming one of the most noted holydays of the year. Even Christmas and New Years are giving it precedence. It is emphatically an institution of the new world, being, in a manner, unknown to the old. It is fast becoming the stated time for the gathering of scattered families under the roofs of the old homesteads, where, amidst the festivities and happiness of those present, the absent and dead are not forgotten. It is the day on which the cares and anxieties of life are laid aside, or should be, and the whole mind absorbed in contemplating what God hath wrought for a highly favored people. Have we much, as a city, county, State, and Union, to be thankful for ? Our city, during the past year, ha3 taken a giant stride in her march of improvement. New houses have sprung into existence all around us, manufacturing establishments throw up their black smoke on every side, and our merchants, mechanics, and day la borers have enjoyed an unusual share of prosperity. We have not been visited with either conflagration or pestilence. We doubt if there be a city within the United States that has so escaped from that terrible de stroyer fire, and here are very few that can boast of such general good health. During the latter part of the season, many of us have experienced some difficulty in getting hold of money, but none of us have failed of our bread and meat. The crops in onr county and throughout the State have exceeded the expectation of the most sanguine, and utterly put to flight the prognostications of the spring croakers. The prices, too, for all kinds of produce, a$e such as to abundantly remunerate the farmer for his toil. " This fact should call forth feelings of gratitude. Our State is wealthier by several millions than it was this day one year ago. As a nation, we have much to be thankful tor. At peace with the world, ourcommerce on every sea, and our enterprise manifesting itself in all parts of the globe, Providence seems to smile graciously on all our efforts, and reward theui in a wonderful manner. While we regret some occurrences that have taken place within our borders, they can only be regarded as eruptions in the body politic, which will, in the end, be more healthy from tho disease making its appearance on the surface. A light spec of war seemes looming up on our Western horizon, but wise counsels will speedily dissolve it. While tho nations of Europe have been engaged in cutting each others throats, we have been employed in raising means to sustain life. They may kill one another, if they insist upon it, but they shall never starve. We have bread, and to spare. Let U3 meditate upon these things to-day, and with the recollection of past blessings, enter upon new duties with hearts mellowed and hopes buoyant. In our happiness, let us not forget the poor and unfortunate, but manifest the genuineness of bur thanksgiving, by relieving the wants of the needy and the afflicted. Thanksgiving. A correspondent of the Democrat wants to know whether Governor Stewart intends to appoint a day for Thanksgiving this year. We can't say, for we don't know. The Black Republican States, and some others, have all fixed upon one day. That may be all well enough, but we dont think Gov. Stewart ought to follow the example, and for this reason : The New England States, and some of the other free States, will all be treated to sermons by the three thousand disloyal preachers, the staple of which will be a, denunciation of all slaveholders, and prayers for the dissolution of the Union. This may do very well for the North, the preachers and politicians of which seem bent on bringing about this result. We do not care about keeping such company. Ik thk Usiox, the people of Missouri would like to have a dijJerentday on which to manifest their thankfulness to God for his many blessings during the year. St. Louis Republican. It has been mauy a day since our eyes have fallen upon so contemptible a paragraph as the above. It is demagoguism several degrees lower and meaner than we ever supposed a paperjpretendingto respectability would descend. The Republican should carry out its prejudices to their full extent. The New England States all of them observe the seventh day, commonly called the Sabbath. The Republican should insist on the Missourians setting up a "differjnt day " for their Sundays If our feelings were similar to those manifested by the editor of lhat pper, we wouldn't 'wear anything made in New England, neither would we eat anything the Yankees eat or drink, for fear we might, in any particular, appear to coincide with those three thousand disloyal preachers. The Milwaukie Free Democrat of Friday evening foots up the returns of the vote for Governor, thus: Randall (Rep.) 14,751; Ilobart (Dem.) 11,231. Raudall's majority thu3 far, 3,321. This is a decided gain upon the Republican majority of last year.

,-f Cotomutueated. i St. Loris, Mo., Nov. 19, 159. : Mr. Editor : Being compelled to remain here for a short time, in order to have, my vision brightened at the hands of the justly celebrated occulist, Dr. M. C. Cook, of this city, and apprehensive of dying of ennui, in the interim, I have concluded to employ myself in writing jou a-fjw lines, and as vision i3 the first item with me at present I am pleased to say that I have a flattering prospect of speedy recovery indeed, Dr. Cook's method and success in treating tender eyes precludes any other report. He seems to master every case that he undertakes in an increditable short time. If a case presents itself that is incurable, the Doctor is very candid, and so informs the unfortunate, to the end that his means may not be expended in a futile attempt. To visit his Infirmary, morning or evening, is to visit a house of mourning. From 30 to 40 of the unfortunates are there to be healed by the opthalmic magician. While writing, it may not be amiss to speak of St. Louis and her prosperity. Since lS3is she has doubled her population every six years, or thereabouts. She now numUr in the neighborhood of 180,000 souls. Siuce June last she has laid railroad track in several of her principal streets, amounting in the aggregate to 24 miles, employing thereon some 90 to 100 cars, propelled by horses. These cars are found very convenient, especially for persons residing remote from their daily employment. I have

had several rides upon them of three or four miles for 5 cents. Cheap travel. The rapid growth of St. Louis, during the year 1859, is without a parallel when we take into consideration the great stringency in the money market, over 2500 houses, mostly of a substantial nnd ornamental character have been built at an aggregate cost of seven million dollars, and be it said to the credit -of the property builders, as well as the city, that the work in most cases was paid for when completed. It is passing strange that rents are so exorbitantly high here. Landlords are not willing to make any concessions whatever in prices, not even to the taking of good funds in payment of rents, but demand bankable. A dwelling that would rent in Evansville for 200, would command $300 here, $300 there, 1,000 to $1, 200 here, and in that ratio. The time must come for a reduction in rents, and that soon. The laboring classes, in consequence of such high rates, are forced to reside, one, two, three, and four miles from their business, in order to have something to live upon after paying rents. They are just about double here that the like property would rent for in N ew i ork or Philadelphia. I know of several plain, ordinary dwellings on Fourth street, with 8 to 14 rooms, that are renting for $1,500 to $2,000 per annum. A majority of families here have some boarders (they sny) to help pay rents. Unfortunately for the beauty of tho city, the French (the first sottlers,) laid out the streets as far back as fourth street, just half as wido as they should have bceu. Beyond fourth, the streets are straight, wide and handsome, crossing each other at right angles. Much taste has been displayed in the erection of the buildings. The Lindell Ho tel on Washington Avenue, between 6th and 7th streets is now being built; it will cover almost the entire square and is intended to surpass in beauty and grandeur any Hotel in the Union. The cost of the building when completed, is variously estimated from five hundred thousand to one million dollars. The Southern Hotel on 4th street, has its foundation laid, which, when completed will be a mamjioth building and will be quite an acquisition to the city, ' I cannot close this without speaking of the steam fire engines of the city, of which I beiieve she has eight, seven of which are of Latin's patent, duplicates of thg Evansville fire engine, they are each drawn by four large horses that are always in readiness at. the striking of the alarm bell. I must say I disapprove of the reckless driving of these engines, the horses are attached to the machine, the word i3 given and out they go in a sweeping gallop arourd corners more abruptly than I would think prudent to drive a buggy. Once at a lire it is instantly subdued, I cannot conceive how more than one building could burn at a time if th fire companies were disposed Jo extinguish the flames. - i ;- ; . . . ' .-r,Since my sojourn here, a very interesting fire occurred in what was denominated "Irish Row," which swept the entire block on Green street, from Fifth to Sixth street, and, strange to say, the engines most positively refused to throw more water than was sufficient to keep the fire hot. . At this fire, by the wreckless driving of one of these fire engines of which I have already spoken it was capsized, killing a little boy and badly damaging the machine. So rejoiced were the citizens at seeing this Gibralter of vice destroyed, that some, in their ecstacy, carried fire from bouse to house, destroying in toto the curse of old Green. Before closing this I must say I was quite surprised at seeing embalmed bodies here, and more so, to learn that one skilled in the art resided here and engaged in that bnsiness, viz: Mr. Freeman Little, No 121, Locust street. The process was discovered by Di Thos. Holmes, of Williamsport, New York. The . new process adopted by the embalming artist, Mr. Little, obviates the turning of the corpse black as tinder the old xrocess. The time required for embalming is short, and the method simple and easy. A tube is inserted into the- rodical fernerine or carodial artery, and tit fluid is injected into the system by means of an air puiup. The chemicals of which the fluid is composed, are kept secret, however, I am informed by Mr. Little, that tbey.are not so poisonous as those formerly used. In Bellefontaine Cemetery ; there ' is n. corpse that was embalmed In September, 1853, by Little, 14 months ago anil it is as perfect to-day as on the day of embalming. Mr. L. has .small" child in his shop, embalmed about the first of; tb month, and; I must say it looks as if the ili'.'d was sleeping. Mr. L. asserts most confidently that it will remain without change for an-es. Bodies should be embalmed two, three or four days after their decease. The price' for embalming varies in accordance with the ability of parties to pay say from $50 to $200. Mr. L, is ready to visit any part of the country at a moment's warning. .Mora anon. - Yours, R. ' J&g-The estimates of.' the: War depart-1 meat have been reduced $2, 000,000 'front last year, and $500,000 below - the actual appropriations made by Congress, which were largely less than the estimates, $t,000,i 000 being cut olf for '.transportation alone.. The Secretary proposes a radical change iu the mounted force, by recrniting half-of it with men for six months,' instead of five years, thus employing tbem only during the" season of depredations, and" requiring each one to furnish his own horse. This system would secure rgpruits accustomed to arm and horse, with a knowledge of Indiana andtheir habits. With a mounted force of about four thousand, the contemplated reduction would be between three quarters i;d a milon dollars annually.

Hohtcipe. A man named Philip Kava-4

kah' was kiljed on Tuesday afternoon, near theMarine Hospital, under the following circusUtnces: 'i.' Kavanauh., who is a boatman, passed the early part of the afternoon, in "Whisky Row " that prolific source of all our criminals, and, probabty, drank" too ranch liquor. He got into a quarrel on the street, with a"? fellow- boatmen named Waldec, "whom, ne knocked over with a brick. He then started down Water street towards Pigeon creek followed by Waldec, and several others, among whom was a man named Frank Berhygeb. Most of the crowd stopped, before going a great ways, and turned backed.. Waldec and Berhygeb, however, followed on over Pigeon bridge. Mr. .Kavasah passed the hospit il, and was followed it appeared from the testimony by Bkrhtger alone. . .. , A quarrel was commenced between the two, and Kavanadgs picked up a stick broke it over his knee, and took one end of it for a club. A scuffle ensued, in which Kavanacgh usedahis club freely, but Beriiyger. clinched him and threw him upon the ground. He held Kavanaugh down by placing his knee upon bis breast, and was seen to make one or two motions, as if he was stabbing him. lie then sprang op, ran rapidly towards the river, jumped over the bank and disappeared. The wounded man was seen to raise himself up, reel backwards and forwards, and then fall over. When a couple of ladies who witnessed the affray went to him he was dead. An examination proved that he was stabbed to the heart. Berhyger was arrested about 9 o'clock the same night, some three miles below town by officers Cox and Sherwood. He had a preliminary hearing before Justice Stinson yesterday and was bound over in the sum of $1000. J6c2f The Library Association want to dispose of five hundred season tickets to the lecture course, in order to insure from loss, and, if possible, create a , fund with which to increase the library. It will be a matter of considerable surprise to us, if in a population of fifteen thousand, there are not five hundred persons, who take sufficient interest in an 'elevated course of lectures, to purchase season tickets, when they are assured that they will be more than doubly paid by the lectures themselves, and should there be any surplus, that it wilt be strictly applied to building up a library which is already becoming a source of pride to every intelligent citizen.' ' ; The tickets have been placed at the low price of one dollar and a half in order to insure a large sale. ; For single ' tickets to one lecture, the price will in no case be less than twenty-five cents, and, for. such lecturers as Bayard Taylor and Waldo Emerson, the price will be fifty cents. - BSyln addition to the various capital dinners that will be served up to-day, there will be enough going on to profitably employ all the time. In the forenoon, sermons appropriate for the day will be preached by Revs. Messrs Cook and Hobbs, the former in the 1st Presbyterian Church, the latter in Locust Street. In the afternoon the -"boys" will have a magnificent game of ball if the weather ; proves favorable, and at "night of course everybody will go to the Concert, to hear "Flora's Festival.'.' We opine, if the programme is well carried out, the time will all be occupied. ———<>——— Personal. Prof. Lowe, the aeronaut, began to re-inflate his huge balloon, the "New York," on the 16th inst. The season of the year is so unfavorable, that we doubt whether he will be able to make his proposed European excursion this winter. Bithop Kavanaugh, of Kentucky, wj regret to learn, is in a serious decline, aud is at present unable to perforin his Episcopal functions. The State Sentinel copies a political artiticle, comparing General Jackson with Jo. Lane, and credits it to the . Evansville Enquirer. - The article should have been credited to the Memphis Avalanche, in which paper it first appeared. - Cor. New York TribnM. From Washington. Sir. Ward's ratification of the Chinese treaty Is received, as was expected. Naval and other despatches agree that he was cordially welcomed and hospitably treated. The impression is now entertained that Mr, Meigs will be superceded in the Superin tendency of the Aqueduct, en the ground that he has had unusual service already, and there are others equally entftled to the places - The Indian Bureau will recommend the Reservations to be sub-divided among the heads of families, so as to cjeate a system Of individual proprietors, for the encouragement of industry and morals, and abandoning the tribal mode of aggregating maintenance and responsibility. There is confidence felt that this will work advantageously. Reports from the officers on the frontiers, and others, agree in the opinion that the Indians are diminishing in number, and the belief is entertained that in fifteen or twenty years no considerable force will be required for the interior. .-. ; i .. - - i Sharp. A new method of swindling has been tried quite successsfnlly in- Philadelphia., The honey is extracted "from the comb, and the cells filial with sugar. As sugar eaa be bought for ten cents a pound, and 'hooey is worth from twenty-five... to thirty cents, the sel'er is enabled to clear from fifteen to twenty cents " per pound ' by the operation. " This pays better than soaking beans, a plan that has been practiced for some time by( the hucksters. t i tC.CMM:a.CJLE. An excellent custom has hee if very -'generally adopted this 'year, for the first tvme,"ty the Governors of the various StatK, in r. transmitting . copies of their thanksgiving proclamations to the .Governors of all the otner States and Territories in tfce, U tion.-.r Governor Morgan, of New York,-w its the first to set the example, early in Oetobf-r. ' This gave sufficient time for all the -States nd Territories, , except those on the Pacific, to " respond to the courtesy before the day appointed for thanksgiving should arrive, and we iearn that tlio custom has been almost universally adopted.

p Local and Miscellaneous! - Post Office. Evansville, Nov. 24th. The Post Office will be closed this, Thanksgiving Day, from . 10J Jl. M. to C J P. M. .. C. R. RUDD, P. M.

The' paid fire department has been organized " in " Indianapolis," with a goo prospect of efficiency.". Seven horses ' have already been purchased at a cost of $140 each, and distributed among the companies. It is intended that two horses shall be attached to each engine and one to a hose reel. We think our Councilmen are committing an oversight in neglecting to purchase horses for the steam engine. What little experience we have had already, does not hold out a very flattering prospect as to moving the engine with anything like certainty much less rapidly with such horses as are picked up in our stables, at a minute's warning. Three good, stout horses should be purchased immediately and put in training. Two large English draught horses might be defended on to take the engine under most circumstances to any part of the city; which, in time of a fire, will never be done by any four horses selected promiscuously out of a livery stable. Having purchased an engine, and secured the services of an engineer at a salary beyond that received by the most experienced locomotive engineers, we trust the Council will not run the risk of neutralizing, if not throwing away this money by neglecting to buy horses that may always be depended on. Thanksgiving Donations. We see by our exchanges that in the various cities over the country, the benevolent societies are to receive liberal donations on Thanksgiving day. . For instance, in Cincinnati one of the street railroad companies proposes to give its entire earnings for that day, to the Ladies' Orphan Home in Indianapolis one person authorizes the Ladies' Benevolent Society to send orders by the hands of the poor for 200 dinners. Upon our own responsibility we suggest to our readers that the Ladies' Benevolent Association of Evansville, would be pleared to receive any donations of money which may be sent to tbem. How many will honor the day and benefit the poor by presenting five or ten dollars ? . Notice is hereby given to the Stock holders of the Evansville Library Association, that the fifth call on stock and annual contributions are now part due, and that J. F. Crisp, Esq., Librarian, is authorized by the Board of Directors to receive said dues and receipt for the same, in the name of the Treasurer. A. Lemcke, Treasurer Library Association. Lunch! Luncht! This day being "Thanksgiving Day," there will be a splendid lunch served up at Theodobij'8 Restaurant, &t 10 o'clock A. M., consisting of Turkeys, Wild Duck, Venison, Oysters, Lake Fish, and all other delicacies which the present season can afford. This lunch is intended to surpass anything of the kind," ever given at the above popular and well known Restaurant, or even in this western country. The first Egg-Nogg of the season, will be served up to commemorate the " Day." Come one, come all, and be on hands early. ' Lectceb. The lecture on the subject of the " Golden Fleece," which was postponed in consequence of unavoidable circumstances, will be delivered to the students of Behu's Commercial College, to-morrow (Friday) evening, at 7J o'clock, by Wii. K McGrew, Esq. The sale of dry goods, to the ladies, will be resumed to-morrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock by H. Nelson & Co. The stock is yet large. fiT Mr. Nbxsen, we see, is doing a fine business for his Company the Phoenix. He met with a small loss the other evening, but he says be regards such losses as positive gains, inasmuch as they stir up the people to the importance of insuring. It is evident from 'the fuller accounts received of the fatal rencontre at Nashville, resulting in the death of Mr. Poindexter, tat he was unjustifiably the assailant, and that Mr. Hall acted simply in self-defense. Public opinion there, it seems, acquits him of all blame. 1 Religious Notices. Rev. St. M. C. HoBBa will preach in the Locust street M. E.
