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.

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.

Joint Vote '65 80 63 80 Senate 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.

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 which amounted to upwards of 100 . 00 dollars.— As many complaints have heretofore been made of delay and difficulty in getting the mails across the Isthmus, the Department has at length ap pointed regular mail agents,.whoseduti it is to go hence with the mails, and. see them safely on board the steamers at Panama.,Qne of the new ly appointed agentailgr.

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. NEW Yona, Nov. 17.

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.
