It iB the natural and commondablo desire of all right-thinking men upon whose exertions tho happiness, and, perchance, the very exist ence of their families depend, to make as far es possible a certain provision' for ’thoir wel fare. While this feeling stimulates them to redoubled exertions In Ihoir chosen it also leads them to consider tho future con dition of their families, if they should be sud denly ent off by death before their business soiibriies have been realized, and a com pettmey secured, and tho : best method oif. guarding against this ever - existing danger, Lite insurance, in a safe and secure company, has done mnch to simplify this mo. mentous problem, and numerous as are the liie insurance policies now taken out, it is somewhat singular that lives arc not more com monly insured. All know that death is inevi table, and nono can tell how speedily their mortal career- will bo • terminated- "With the death oi merchants, manufacturers, profession al men, and mechanics, all tits skill and ener gy.. upon which thoir families chiefly rely for a livelihood will perish, and yet against this inevitable loss there is comparatively littlo’pecuniary precaution. Insurance against lossos by Hra has becomo almost universal. Scarcely any business firm would feel secure for a-singlo day without it. Yet losses by flro 'are; rare and uncertain, as compared with the frequent and inevitable ravages of death. It is difficult to understand the wisdom of this dis crimination among men who have a high regard for tiio welfare of their families. While life in surance offers to tho struggling business, man, who is embarked upon a sea of uncertainty full of perils, an anchor of safety for those near and dearjtp him,it is also-well worthy of tho at tention of men of acknowledged affluence. In tins cbnntry, it has happened in thousands oi .-..-.ics heretofore, and will again, unless the wholp nature of Ajherican life should change, tliat the occurrences of a brief period have robbed' bhr supposed rich men of all thoir' wealth, and that they have left families, nurtured in idlo and luxurious habits, penni less fit' their death. The annual payment , of a slim which, to a man in good circum stjincee, would be hut ft mere trifle, would Jhlly gnard against such a peril. Wo must confess, however, that attractive and advantageous as the system of Lifo Assurancd is, it is a matter of the first that, a company of nn dpnb'tcdL solvency and responsibility should he ■ selected to perform the important duty of vir tuallyactingas trusfoo for familieswhoso chief jelianco ig to bo placed in their ihtogrity. And no man should invest his money .in any institution, engaged in this business unless he has uridoubted evidence of Its soundness and entire reliability. ; ■ Wreck of the. Steamer “Indian.” . A. - telegram, in yesterday’s Fbess, from SaekvUle, Now. Brunswick, communicated the feet that, on Monday last, the schooner Vic toria. hod passed within 600 yards of a large steamer, broken on the rocks off Gusboro, • Nova Scotia. It was then believed that this •. was the Cunard steamer Delta, running be tween Bermuda, Halifax, and St. Johoß. It is now declared, by a telegram which reached ns , yesterday, to be the steamer Indian, said to liaye left Liverpool on the 9th insf., and broken In two on the rocks of Mary Joseph, Gus "boro, N. S., on Monday. Throe men were lost. Tho name of the Indian is not mentioned in any of the sailing appointments of ocean steamers, published hero or at New York. The City of Washington and the Vigo are both named to leavo Liverpool on tho 9th inst.. On reference, however, to tho European Times (Liverpool paper) of the. 6th, we ilnd the Mpntroal Ocean Steamship Company adver tising their steamer. Indian, commanded by Captain W. Surra, as ready to leave Liverpool for Portland on tho 9th Inst. There can be scarcely any doubt that tho Indian is lost. Public Amusements. Today being Thanksgiving Day, the various places of public amusement will bo well attended, Wo. doubt not. . Their respective programmes will -be found in our advertising columns, and oortalnly' present a great deal of variety. Thore will be af ternoon as well as evening perfoxinances at each, and'we notlos that Signer Blits will give as many as litres during the day l . Of oourse, the attractin' play at “ the Arch,” in which the manners of tiro oenturies bflek are so.falthfnlly revived, will dri.w immensely—there Is something very suggestive In’ the very title, '« Fast Menof the Olden Time.” There Is agood bill at Wnlout-street Theatre also.

Two or three months ago, with a remarkablo of its particularly.jinjiaii trumpet, the -Veil) York Herald announced that it had made, or was making arrangements, at.vast expense and on a scale of unexampled and porfoctiona ted grandeur, for supplying daffy verbatim re ports .of the debates, in Congress, whenever .that august and powerful body should coui imence its Session. The expenso was ostima. W, if wo recollect rightly, at from $50,000 to Isloo,ooo additional to the nsnal outlay'of tho astonishing and alarming Herald. A whole corps-ot short-hand vrritera ifas to bo main tained. In Washington, in fu)l Htrald-ic pomp, prido, and circumstance. Tho reports were to averago from five to six columns of unreadable typo, day after day. Tho honor and glory of American journalism was to be thereby greatly exalted.. The Herald’s five or six daily co lumns. of- debates were to knock “ into a oockod-hat” tho London Times, which somo tiraes gives twenty-four columns of parliamen tary proceedings, besides its leaders, current news, police reports, advertisements, and im mense foreign correspondence. In a word, tho New York Herald was to becomo, by vir tue of its five or six columns ol daily Congres sional sayings and doings, tho greatest news paper on tho face of the osrth. Already, said tho Herald, With a crow of exultation, we have tho greatest circulation of any journal in New York, and therefore in America. —Tho Tribune has as largo a circu lation, We beliovo, and the Times is close upon its heels. More than tiffs, the Herald was shown, on sworn testimony of unimpeachable character, to havo a circulation considerably less than that of its competitor, tho Sun, io New York. Upon that sworn testimony the Herald ; not long ago, actually lost tho adver tising of left letters in tbe'Post Office, which is given to papers of tho highest circulation. Moses Y. Boacu, a patriarch ol tho penny press, cut it out with his Sun, and obtained the Pos't Offico advertisements, which Beunktt’s bragging Herald had to snrrendor., These facta were well known in New York—yet, de- spite of thoir notoriety, Bonett kept on, aud still keeps on, boasting oi the suporior circu lation of tho Herald. —This notico of tho de- clining circulation of tbo Herald is episodal, and we return to the Congressional reporting, which tho Herald saw, “in his mind’s oyo,” as Hamlet said lio’ saw his fathor— and no where else. Struck with the magnificent project and promise of tho Herald, as respected its maintaining a special corps of short-hand writers at Washington, to report tho debates exclusively for its own columns, and weak onouglr to bcltovo that no journal, with tho slightest regard for character, could comnjit itself by publishing an onormons and, ovent iially, most detectable falsehood, Tun Puess strongly eulogized the liberality, sntorpriso, and spirit of Mr. James Gonnon Behnett, formerly, of Huntly, In Scotland, and now of Washington Heights, Now York. Tho Herald complacently republishod our eulogy—very glad, no doubt, to haTe a respectablo endorse ment. Wo noticed tho project several times, and each notico was duly transferred to tho columns of the Herald. After considerable swagger about this Con gressional reporting, m which Mr. Behnett, like Coriolanus, aecmed inclined to boast, “ Alone I did it," he lowered his tone considerably, and throw out, by way of a feeler, a gcntlo hint that tho oipense of this reporting would be,so im mense, and that ho hoped that other respecta ble journals would contribute money towards it, sharing the benefits qf its results. Here, it once, tho fabric oi falsehood became very shaky. Down tumbled tho exclusiveness of lull reporting, while the claim for enterprise md liberal expenditure also toppled over. The grand, tho magnificent boast that the N. Y. Herald would exclusively, by its own reporters, supply toll stenographic reports of !ho Congressional debates, dwindled down into what M. Pohsahd’s friend, “ tho divine Williams,” has called an airy nothing. The Herald would publish fuller Congressional re ports than before, provided that the other journals would do the same, l.y joining in the additional expenso. This reminds one of tho Turkish fVuit-voudor who walked through Constantinople calling “In tho name of the Prophet—figs!” There was some mention, wo think, of an extra wire being added to tho telegraph from Washington to New York, to enablo the Htrald to havfl its full and exchtsivo reports dashed along the line without any interruption 'whatever. That wire has not yet boon added. Wo rather think that tho metal out of which it 13 to be drawn still slumbers iu the mino, in a state of virgin oro. Tho New York Times, from tho first, de clared that Behkett’s htcig about exclusive Congressional reporting was nothing but a humbng. Tho Nov.- York Times know its man, and was correct. In less than a fortnight Congress will commence iis session, at which time the Herald’s grand plan of full and ox iffusivo Congressional reporting ought to como into operation. Tho Herald, nevertheless, maintains a silence, snspicious, if not ominous, upon this great enterprise, by which it was to revolutionize American journalism. Not a syllable has been breathod for many weeks ]iast upon a single branch of tho enterprise. The five or six colums of exclusive daily re ports, the additional telegraphic wire, tho Im mensely good and awfully costly regiment of Htutld-le reporters at Washington—we ask, whore aro they—whore 7 and tho tiniest echo in tho world whispers “ Where i” Tho plain fact is, with all his bragging, Mr. Bessett never intended performing what ho promised with such a flourish. Ho will do in the Herald, during tho approaching session, omctly what Tub Pbess and many other pa llors will do, and not one iota more. The “ Associated Prose,” which has hitborto supplied good summaries of the Congressional proceedings, has made arrangements, we un derstand, to give these reports with much greater fulness than before. Tite Pbess, as well as the other journals which aro suppliod by tho reporters of the “ Associated PrcßS,” will have these improved reports, tn common with tho Herald —neither more nor loss. In short, the circumstances which wo have here related, and which our brother journalists throughout the country will admit to ho cor reetly related, are curious as showing tho means resorted to by the Herald to bolstor it self up. Its splendid promisos and miserable ndn-fulfllmonts Warrant us in applying to this system of humbug the familiar opithot of great cry and little wool.” Thanksgiving Day.

THE LATEST NEWS BY TBT^gRAP|J, FBOM CHARLESTOWN, VA. GOV* PACKER TENDERS ASSISTANCE, A GUARD ALONG THE liklNß, An Alarm!—Panic among theftervous. A COW MISTAKEN FOR AN ABOLITIONIST, THE INVADER SHOT! Charlestown, Nov. 23 —Governor Wise loft Harnpr’a Ferry tlji# morning, for Richmond, after reoetving a despatch from Governor Packer, nf Ponnflylvanift, tondering him tbo aervinns of 10,000 men* and offering to station a guard along the di viding line betwoim Penngylvnuifi 'and Maryland. Governor Wise veturnotf thanks for the offer, with the aspnnmco thnt Virginia was nblo to pro teot her honor. After tho departure of tho Governor, Colonel ! Elliott nddreesod (ho military, telling them it was possible that they might have to undergo arduous and perilous duty, and ho folt flntiafiod that, if tho venerated Commonwealth should be invaded, they would effectually wipe out the slain. Last night, fit oino o’oloek, an alarm was givon, by one of the sentinels firing his rifle. Military orders wore immediately sounded frem one end of the town to tho other, and the panic among the women and children, and emuo of tho men (whoso nervous systems hove becomo mu«h disordered by tho late event?,) was very great. Shutters were closed &nd lights oxtiDguiehod in quiok time. The oxoitemeni continued until ton o’olook, when It was ascertained that tho sentinel had mistaken a oow for a man—that sho would not bnlt when ho commanded, and ho fired. ANOTHER AI.AHH, At 3 o’clock this morning another alarm was oe onsioned by the report of throe guns. A sentinel enmo/ushing iu and reported having hailed threo men, who, instead of halting, fired at him. Scouts wero sent out, but no men could be found, and the town was in an uproar for tho b&lanco of tho night. The faot is that tbo soldiers regard thoir prosont occupation da a frolic, and It is believed that some of them, under tho influence of whiskey, wero playing pranks on their comrades. All has been quiet to-day. Harper’b Fbrrt. Nov. 23. —Major Goo. Talin ferro arrived here by express last evening, amt assumed, by direction of Governor Wise, the oom inand of all the forces on duty. General Taliaferro does not supersede Colonel Lavl 9. but is entitled by rank to the oommand. Colonel Davis is disfran chised under the anti-duelling not from holding any oflloe, civil or military, in Virginia, and has only acted here as an Advising officer. A rumor was afloftt to-day, that there was a party of marauders in the fountains near Cherry Run, and that tho sontlneisat Charlestown wore firod on last night. Governor Wlso exhibits no sort of fear of any rescue, but thinks it best to have a good force out. In reply to a gentleman who asked him this morn* ingifhe had any fears, he roplied that he never had tho leant, but considers it tho finest opportu nity ever offered to put tho State in military train ing.

Tho Fourth of July is glorious with Us patriotic memories, its martini array, tl.o booming of artil lery. the explosion of powder, pnd tho ringing of bells. The New Year is all merriraont and fes tivity. Christmas is holy with ita as*oeUtloM, that lead the mind from tho gaieties of life to tho new born Baviour in the Manger, typifying that Re demption for which wo all hone. Thanksgiving has but one synonym, homo* but one moamug, hnpptneis. Wo rccogtdso in Us observance every thing bountiful, rovoront, and glorious. We give thanks for all wo havo; for tho pioeporitv that has befallen us, or tho adversity with which we are chastonod; for tho freedom and happinoss bestowed by our Govormnont. and tho spirit of poaoo that prevails; for the llborty of civil notion, nnd tho liberty of religions thought—all thoso things wo recognise, and for them wo are thankful. the most boautiful thought this day call* forth is thohoart-union it will bring to a thousand hearths. Ties of homo and kindred once snapped will to-day bo reunited. Tho wanderer's seat, long vnoaut, will to-day bo filled; tho homo, long left, will to-day be visited. Away from all that oontaminatoa or vouders selfish—from tlio Gurronta of ploaauro and business—this ono day will ho spout in sweot home-communion. Many a story will be told; many ft smilo will sparkle from fnoes seldom used to smiling, and many a tear of joy will fall from eyes that loug since ooased to wcop. Itow relentless Time has ravaged youthful associa tions, how fickle Fortuuo has played her pranks, and how Death has severed family circles with his scytho, will bo told ftnu retold a thousand times to day. , And when we give thanks for all wo have—for the blessings that snrrouud us, for a land of poace and liborty, for tho bounteous harvosta that overflow ton thousand granaries, fbr tho strength of mind 1 and body which wo possess—lot us not forget the suffering poor. All homos will not bo happy to day, nor all hearts light. Whilo wo nro arink ing the cup of contentment, flowing over Us brim— whilo wo are eating tlio bread of prosperity in unwonted abundance, lot us spare ono drop, ono crumby for bur shivering fellow-iunu, driven by dire disaster into tho unweloomo cold, an exile from home, happiness, and tho cheerful fireside of olherdays. Tho selfish man cun never bo happy, and no oontont is so sweetly precious as that sur rounding a bonevolcnt heart. When wp are glad, lot us gladden. Before wo drain tho cup of hap plbeßs, let us share the draught with others. This, then, is thanksgiving, and assuoh we re gard it. May it bo a happy day to us, ono and all. And may all tho prayers Pennsylvania will send to Honvcn to-day return to bless her and her peo i pie a hundred-fold.

The Western freight agent of the New York Central defends that road for refusing to prorate nt the low tariff now current, nod tnys: ‘‘Last rummer we could not re-lnce rates low enough to satisfy them, and thny were willing to prorate on any rate mado. The reason is simple : lust dimmer there was little or nothing in the country for tho roads to carry The rivers and ciuhW wore all iu ge.>l l*ont condition, and of fering to enrry wliHt li'tlo there iru fit ffry ]irico, which forced the New York Contritl JJuilro id, with other rail lir.es to uork forextromo low prices. I f ij now near winter; Ihe rivers are low and unable to carry the freight; thee in»ls are taxed to their utmost capacity at better rates than thoae charged by tho mr.il Vines, with the coun try filled with produce sacking a market in tho Atlantic dtie*; tho banks limiting their dis counts to thirty and Mxty days, which cause? must inevitably throw a largo amount of buaioeps mi the rail tines, and for which it is their right, and they certainly have U in their power, to pro curo remunerative rate?. It simply remain* for them to act In harmony, and chnrgo fair rate?, of which no shipper cao reaaonablv complain With all tho conventions that have been assembled for the purpose of advancing rates, and to devise ways and means to make railroad property worth some thing, Nature has done more than all. this year, by furnishing a bountiful harvest. Yet very few ruilrond managers seem wf’ling to reap tho benefit. Only two years with much less freight in the country, tho present r>-cilt*d «rb s trary rate esta blished by tho Now York Central RaUroal would j hove been considered extrewelv low for themonth* of October and November. The only difference i between thou and now is, that railroad agents hare j been doing business such n loDg time for low rates, \ a remunerative one appears extortionate. n Tho following is tho Pittsburg bank statement for the week preceding November 21: iu\x«.
