State of Nicaragua has no right to claim

_made, it may fairly be the subject of n

it may pass, and the terms of such a trea

if the exclusive and unfounded pretensions
of the State of Nicaragua are taken up by

The following proclamation, recom►neu

of November inst., as a day of general
thanksgiving throughout the State, has
been issued by Governor Johnston, The
proclamation is appropriate in lunguague
and spirit : and considering the many
blessings bestowed upon us as a people,
by ajust and beneficent God, the recom
mendation is highly proper in itself, and
we have no doubt, will be universally ob
served throughout tile State. Sevet al oth

the same purpose. Certainly no people
under Heaven have more reason to be
thankful for the many blessings vouch

I port for authority, we don't doubt but that
he feels foolish and ashamed of his pre
cipitancy. His wife's sister had both her
eyes very much blackened and bruised,
and the side of her face so badly cut, that
r► physician was necessarily called in to
dress her injuries. We advise him here
after to follow the advice of Davy Crocket
—"be sure you're right, then go ahead."
CANADIAN ANNEXATlON.—Resolutions
in favor of the Annexation of Canada to the,
United States have been introduced into
both Houses of the Vermont Legislature,
Papers of all parties advocate the meas
ure, too, together with political meetings
and Conventions in all parts of the Nor.
thern States. The following resolution
was recently adopted by the " Free De
mocracy" of Putnam county, 111., on mo
tion of Harvey B. Leeper, the Secretary
' of the meeting :
Resolved, That we are in favor of the
peaceful annexation of Canada to. the Uni
ted States, and that.we will I use all 15%4
land peaceable means to that.efrect,';l,l(

The Peeifie Railroad.
Some of the Practiral
Thomas Allen, Esq., in a letter published
in the St. Louis Republican, suggests some
practical difficulties in respect to the Pa.;
rifle Railroad, which must be considered!
and provided for. lie says : •
"You will sox, f;ic example, on the sup.
position that the business of the Pacific
road . o ill be in proportion to that upon the
Western, and that it will require over
eight hundred thousand tuns of water per'
day ; over five hundred thousand cords of
wood per anum, and over three hundred
and twenty-five thousand gallons of oil to
grease the wheels! These apparent dn.
culties, we trust, will all vanish before tho
application of genius in developing the re.
sources of the country, The want of wa..
ter and wood upon the few hundred miles
of plains intervening between the forests
which skirt the State boundaries and the
mountains, may possibly be supplied by
rtestm wells and pumps, and the shells
which go down for water will, doubtless;
at the same time expose, occasionally, at•
least, subjacent beds of coal in ample sup•
plies for the necesary fuel.
"It is a fact probably not thought of, but
in the diminishing supplies of sperm oil,
we shall find the necessity of elovating
!the swine to the dignity of the land whale,
and taking from him the oil which the
deep will no longer give up. The Pacific
railroad, in full operation, will consume
the oil of more than thirty thousand hogs
!per :mum!"
