The President having been addressed by a
gentleman of New York, upon the subject of
appointing a day of National Thanksgiving, re
plies, that "While uniting cordially with the
.Uniiiersal feeling of thankfulness to God for his
manifold blessings, and especially for the abate-
Ment of the pestilence which so lately walked
in our midst, I have yet thought it most proper
to leave the subject of a thanksgiving procla
mation where custom has so long consigned it
—in tho hands of the Governors of the several
States. This decision has been strengthened
by the considerations that this is the season
usually set apart for that purpose, and that sev
eral governors have already issued their annu
al proclamations accordingly."
Military Parade
On Monday last our newly formed military
Company under command of Capt. Hiram B.
Yaeger, made their first parade in fulluniform ;
but as the weather was very unfavorable, they
Were entirely prevented to show their progress
in military evolutions and tactics. Their
marching and counter-marching were very
soldier-like, and their uniform looked extreme
ly well. We hear that they intent tohave an
other parade on some day next week.
State of California.
The Richmond Republican, in speaking of
the decision of the slavery question in Califor
nia, says, it removes one of the most threaten
ing dangers to which the Union has ever been
exposed, and rejoices "that the clouds have
passed away from the Star of the West, and
that she is about to join the great Federal Con
stellation." This is right. The South should
now look upon this question as definitely see
ded, and turn their attention from "agitation"
to "improvement."
Proton% state of the French Republic.
We copy from the Public Ledger of the
19th inst., the following very sensible com
ment about tiro tato ruaciista Tiro nun&
France :
The explosion and consequence retirement
f the French ministry, is an important sign
of the times in that distracted country France.
All must have known that the late Ministry
were under the joint central) of the differ
ent Bourbon factions, antlyvere exerting every
nerve against Red-Republicanism. And all sup
posed that the President was intent above all
things, upon the restoration of the empire.—
Intent of different objects, of con ,
dent and the ministry could iv and
one or the other must rule. Tt of
the National Assembly being rei he
ministry, or at least the portion Or
of restoring the monarchy under ho
Bourbons, were encouraged to set the Preii
dent at defiande, especially upon the Roman
question. And the President, thirs manacled,
must have seen that his only chance, either for
reaching the empire, or even retaining his Pre
sidency for the constitutional Term, depended
upon the overthrow of the reactionary ministry.
He has accomplished this overthrow, and has
now the alternative of reaching the, monarchy
through the army, or of maintaining his present
'position by courting the republicans and con
solidating the republic. The first is doubtless
his choke; the second his alternative, which he
will steadily pursue onfinding the first im
.practicable.
Rumored Changes-in the Cabinet.
There have been rumors rife, for some time
past, of contemplated changes in the Cabinet.
At first they were regarded as mere gossip
and without any foundation in truth ; and, so
far as we are concerned, wo are not even now
prepared to attach any especial importance to
thorn. Certain it is, however, thatthese rumors
have so frequently been alluded to in the public
journals, that credence, to some extent at all
events, to yielded to them in the yublio mind.
It was first stated that Mr. Meredith.was about
to retire from the Treasury department, and,
would accept tho Mission to Russia. Now it
said Mr. Clayton is about to resign his post
, as Secretary of State, and that he will take the
Russian mission.
The. New York .Tribune contains a letter
frorn Baltimore, lo the following effect:
have just seen a letter from Washington,
'Whioh . states, on the best authority, that Mr.
Clayton will resign his post of Secretary of
•State on the ° opening of Congress, and that
Rat: Henry Clay will fill the vacancy without
. doubt. Thiele; the reason of Mr. - Clay's early

Legisla t tive Apportionment
"The apportionment of the Slate into Senato
rial and Assembly districts, isa matter of much
importance, as well as difficulty. It requires
much skill and judgement to effect work in
suth a manner as to secure the object of our
government—a fair representation of the people
of every part of the State. It is too much the
practice in all the States, and with all parties,
to strain points a little to give their own party
advantages—such as linking together counties
that will give a small majority for the party that
makes the apportionment, and other counties
that will give a large majority for the other
party ; also to give counties having a majority
for their party more members, and counties of
opposite politics fewer members, than justice
entitles them to."
These sentiments from the Bucks County
In tclligen cer, -speak-facts-about-as-nearly_aa
they can be well expressed. The intelligencer
then expresses a desire for the single district
system :
"We have long regarded it as vitally import
ant to the true interests of the people that their
representatives in what is generally termed the
popular branch of the Assembly ; should be
elected by single districts. The Senators we
would have chosen in the same way; but a
Constitutional prohibition would prevent the
division ,of large counties or oities into dis
tricts."
In the State of New York, where more dif
ficulty-perhaps exists than does here, the sin
gle district system has been in operation for
several years, and is found to work well. It is
so reasonable, equitable, and democratic, that
the people with one voice approve it. It brings
the representative into more direct and inti
mate connection with his constituents—makes
him more directly responsible to them for his
acts—enables him the more readily to learn
and comprehend their interests—and arms them
more efficiently with a power and control to
enforce their will, and secure the promotion of
their own good. Take our own county for ex-.
ample: We elect three Representatives, thd
constituents of each of which are scattered over
the whole county, and with interests and feel
ings as variant as those of different counties.
What can the people of the upper end of the
county know of the lower representative : gen
erally, or the people of the lower end of the
upper representative, as to his ability or fitness
to represent them? and on the other hand,
how can a representative in ono extreme of the
county know familiarly the views and wants
of the people (his constituents) of the other
extreme?.The acquaintance between the
representative and the constituent, in such cir
cumstances, in nine cases out of ten, is, and
necessarily must be, through prominent indi
viduals in various sections of the county, but
rnorp particularly in tbd centre. *The fpnelin
cy is to a constant Minding up of Central pouts
cal influence, by and through which a large
amount of intercourse must take place, that
ought to be direct between the representative
and his constituents. All this would in a great
measure be obviated by the single district sys
tem. The man of sufficient intelligence, bu
siness capacity, and knowledge of things
around him, would be tolerably conversant
with the feelings and wants of the whole pop
ulation of ten townships immediatly surround
ing him. His constituency would have a more
uniform interest, more harmony of views, and
snore cordiality of feeling."
Chester County Bank
We understand that the notes of this Bank
are refused by several prominent business men,
on account of the refusal of the Bank to redeem
its issue previous to the robbing of Dr. Darling
ton. •
The refusal on the part of this institution to
redeem its paper; is one of the most high-hand
ed measures of which we'have ever heard. It .
behooves our friends in the interior to beware
how they wk.: the notes of this Bank, as it is
impossible for thetn to distinguish between
those stolen and those not stolen, and as the
refusal is generally to redeem their issue in
circulation, previous to the robbery, the holders
may be greatly the losers by taking them. The
only safe course is to refuse the notes general
ly—both old and new, and then there is no
danger of loss.
A newspaper is the world's recora, wherein
are registered the doings awl sayings of every
day of active life. .The millionaire on 'change,
ti?, pursuer of ,commerce, the politician, the
observer of phenomena of cause and effect, as
well as the less eager, are all intense to learn
the occurrences of the past, and how their in
terests are affected, by the ebbing - and flowing
of the irresistable currents of both the social
and pecuniary world. That family circle is
unsocial and morally blinded, that does not
possess ono or more well conducted newspa
pers, for its inmates to peruse. .
It is now settled definitely that the Whigs
have elected the Controller, Secretary of State,
Treasurer and State Engineer, while the Dern
aerate have elected the Judge of Appeals, At-
torney General, Canal Commirioner and •Pri
soh Inspector. The Legislature is equally di-
vided as follows:

Late Letter from California.
From the Reading Gazette of last Saturday
we copy the following:—
By the arrival home, on Thursday the 15th,
of Mr. Charles Taylor, who came passenger in
the Empire City, a number of letters were re
ceived from the members of the Reading Cal
ifornia Association, by their friends in thiseity.
We are permitted to copy one from Capt. T.
B. Taylor, the commandant of the Association,
addressed to Andrew M. Sallade, Esq. The
setter communicates the intelligence ad, ar
rival Of the whole company at San Francisco,
and announces their arrangements preparatory
to entering upon the toilsome object of the
perilous journey which they haie at length ac
complished. It also brings the melancholy
news of the death of another' of the party—
Dr. Walter I. Martin, a native of Allentown,
'-Lehigh-county—who-joined-the-Association
previous to its departure from this city.
We regket tb. add that Mr. Taylor returns in
very feeble health, his constitution having suf
ered greatly from the fatigues, exposures
and unanticipated hardships of the voyage out.
We trust that the healthy climate and kind at
tentions of parents and friends at home, will
soon restore hint.
SAN Ftt.txmco, Sept 24
Andrew M. Sallade, Esq.
Dear Sir :—After a long and, tedious voyage
of six months, we have at length arrived at our
destined port of San Francisco,but under quite
diflerent circumstances front what we expected,
when we left Reading, both in purse and num
ber. We landed on the 30th August, dead
broke and $420 in debt.
[After giving a detailed narrative of the pro
gress of the various detachments or the asso
ciation from San Blas to San Francisco, with
most oG which previous advises have furnished
us, the letter proceeds:]
Haus and Witman deserted the Company at
Monterey, taking with them all their own ef
fects and more than their own. As luck would
have it both our vessels arrived in port the
same day, and within a few hours of each oth
er. R. Axe took a notion that he would take
another bark that was lying at San Blas, and
work his passage up as ship-carpenter, and has
not yet arrived. Peter Rapp has gone up to
Sacramento city to work, and S. Klopp and H.
'Kerper have gone to the mines, where they
said they would join us. Green, Abbott, Zer
be, Flack, Farrelly, the two Grosh's, and
Charles and myself constitute the whole party
now. Doctor Martin died on Wednesday, 13th
instant, at half-past four o'clock, A. M. ; he
was conscious of his end ; and appeared quite
composed; he had nothing more to say than
just give his farewell to his parents and friends
at home. Charles is preparing to return home.
tion is considerably impaired, and he will nev
er become climated. I send him home on my .
own account. Green, Abbott, Zerbe, and my . -
self expect to start for the mines to-day or to
morrow morning; the others will remain be
hind a few weeks, as they are all under the
weather, and Ilosea Grosh is quite sick with
the Dyientery. It appears that some of our
men are never going to get well. I only count
on eight men ever being able to do actual ser
vice'; for the lug of war now only will com
mence, both in Dud work and hard living.
But.if we are spared, we will make a despe-..
rate effort to tree ourselves and acquit our
selves limn the debt we owe our stockholders,
both principal and it)terest, if there is but one
of our men stands by me. Had they all re
mained together, and performed their duty as
they contracted to do, I have not the leot
doubt we could have met all our and your ex
pectations. But it was a contemplated thing
before we got through Mexico, with five or six
of them, that their bargain with the stockhold
ers was a hard one, and they were not going
to work for them, but for themselves, and va
rious other plans and reports which I was not
made aware of until I arrived at San Francis
co. A more ungrateful set of men than a few
of them are, I never saw ; they appear to have
lost all sense of honor and respect for. them
selves and friends at home.
The gold prospects are good, and people from
there tell us that if we work industriously t r ue
must succeed. Every company that has ever
yet arrived, has, broken up, .but that is no rea.
son why ours should, as we have thus far ex
tricated ourselves from every difficelty, and
think the last is now surmounted.. 'We will
have a physicians bill of about $2OO to pay,
which will considerably reduce our funds,•but
we will have enough left to get to the mines,
and if we are 'successful, we will be' at home.
Nearly every man has been'tlown - 4ith•the

California Mai/J.—The mails for California
which went out on the 14th inst., by the Ohio and
Crescent City, numbered nearly 17000 letters and
upwards of 20000 newspapers, the postage on

As many complaints have heretofore been made
of delay and difficulty in getting the mails across
the Isthmus, the Department has at length ap

Iron seems every day to be showing its value
for purposes to which it would once have be9n
thought madness to apply it. Constructing
vessels of iron would have been formerly
deemed the , greatest of all absurdities. But
the experiment has been often and successful
ly tested amid the storms and waves of the
ocean. Iron houses have been introduced, as
will be seen by the following from the N. York
Post:—
"We had the pleasure last week of examin
ing the new stores lately put up by Mr. Edgar
H. Lang, on the corner of Washington 'and
Murray streets. These stores are built of cast
iron, and are constructed in a manner to secure
the greatest strength with the least metal. The
mode of constructing buildings of iron is the
subject of.a patent granted to Mr. James Bo
gardus, who superintended the construction of
these stores. They aro five stories — high; -and
-1 each twenty by fifty-six feet, and constructed
in the brief period of about two months. They
1 are the only buildings of the kind in theivorld,
excepting that in Centre street, which now
stands unfinished.
"Mr. Bogardus has spent many years in trav
elling through Europe for the purpose of stud
ying and perfecting his plans, and they cer
tainly combine more excellence than any other
in the city. These buildings will sustain a
greater weight, and are put up with less incon
venience than brick buildings, being cast and
fitted so that each piece may be put up as fast
as it is brought on the ground. They may be
taken down, removed, and put up again in a
short time, like any other castings. In their
mode 01 construction nearly three feet ofloom
is gained over buildings put up with brick.—
They admit more light, for the iron Ccilinnns
will sustain the weight_ that would require a
wide brick wall in ordinary buildings.—
They combine beauty with strength, (or the
panels can be filled with figures to almost any
extent.
"In the construction each story is supported
by rows of fluted pilasters, the cornices be
tween which are compactly bolted. The walls
are, in fact, one compact mass, and capable of
sustaining inconceivable weight. The iron
used weighs 150 tons. The columns on the
first story were cast at the West Point Foundry,
those on the second and fourth at 'Jordon's, in
Brooklyn, and the third and fifth at the Novel
ty Works. The cornice, facias, and Ornaments
are the work of Wm. L. Miller. The mason
work was done by A. & .1. White, and the car
penter work by Samuel Martin. The en
tire cost of the five buildings is upwards of
$2(1,000."
Terrible Steamboat Accident at
New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 16.
when about starting from the wharf last even.
ing, burst both her boilers, shattering the boat to
atoms.
'rho steamers Storm and Bostona, lying along
side just arrived crowded with passengers, were
badly injured.
It is supposed that altogether one hundred and
sixty lives are lost, and a very great number
wounded.
Already fifty dead bodies have been recovered,
and the levee. is strewn with the dead and
dying.
Hundreds of citizens are assembled around
the melancholy scene, endeavoring to recover
and recognize the bodies of the victims.
Arms, legs and heads are scattered in every
direction, making a most sickening spectacle.
It is impOssible to ascertain the names of the
lost.

We take the following from a private letter to
a gentleman in this city from hiS friend in Cali
fornia under the date of Sept. 18th ;
have been for the last six weeks at the city
of Sacramento. It is a regular Jonah's ground,
but it wont wither as soon. Last March the cat
tle were ranging over it, and now it presents a
town with a permanent population of 6000, and
2000 floters, and Stockton, where you camped, is
still ahead of this. And as for San Francisco,
it is already up to 25,000, and swelling every day.
-- "You remember our old business stand at San
Francisco. We rented it for $12,000 per annum,
bitilta third and are now ottereerioi
$60,000, but the rainy season isapproaching,end
we have declined renting the whole. We have
made the third story into rooms, which we rent
for $24,000. On the first floor we have rented
two rooms, 04 by 40, for $lOOO each per month,
—the second story we retained for ourselves.—
I leased a piece of land this morning, 30 by 50,
for $12,000 a year ground rent. But these enor
