PENNSYLVANIA, SS:
In the name and by the•anthorily of the Com•
monwealth of Pennsylvania, JAMES POL
LOCK; Governor of the said Common-
wealth
Fellow Citizens :—To render to Almighty
God, who controls the destinies of nations and
men, the homage of devout gratitude and
praise for His goodness and mercy, is the ap
propriate and solemn duty of a free and high
ly favored people. As the Giver of every good
and perfect gift we should over recognize His
band in our mercies, and acknowledge our de
pendence upon His providence ; and though
adversity may throw its dark shadows across
our pathway, yet we should be assured of this
that "the Judge of all the earth will do right."
During the past year the bounties of a kind
Providence have not been withheld from our
Commonwealth. Our free institutions have
been preserved, and our rights and privileges,
civil and religious, enjoyed and maintained.—
The arts and sciences, and the great interests
of education, morality and religion, have claim
ed the attention and received the encourage-
ment of an intelligent and 'Abend people.—
Honorable industry in its varied departments
has been rewarded ; and although recent and
severe financial revulsion has filled with gloom
sorrow and distress, the hearts and homes of
many of our citizens, yet no fear of famine,
no dread of impending public or social calam
ity, mingles with our emotions of gratitude
for past blessings, or weakness or trust for the
future, in the providence of Him who wounds
but to heal, and "whose mercy endureth forev
er.' A plenteous harvest has crowned the la
bor of the husbandman—peace with its gentle
and reforming influences, and unwonted health
with its benefits and mercies, have been vouch
safed to us.
In acknowledgement of these manifold bles
sings, we would offer unto God thanksgiving
and pay our vows unto the most High ; and
call on Him "in the day of trouble; He w:11
deliver thee and thou shall glorify Him."
Under the solemn conviction of the proprie.
ety of this duty, and in conformity with estab
lished custom and the wishes of many good
citizens, I IJAmEs Pot.t.ceic, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby
recommend Thursday the Twenty-Sixth day of
November next, as a day of general thanksgiv
ing and praise throughout this State, and car
!wally request the people that, abstaining from
avocations and all worldly pursuits, they as
semble on that day according to their religious
customs, and unite in offering thanks to Al
mighty God for his past goodness and mercies
and while acknowledging our transgressions,
and imploring His forgiveness, beseech
with sincere and ett.rnest desire, to return and
visit us again with His loving kindness, make
us worthy of His bounties, and continue to us
the rich blessings of His providence and grave.

DIED Or Joy.—The Wheeling Intelligencer
says :—One day last week, a son of Col. Joseph
J. Winter, who resides in the neighborhood of
Clarksburg, returned from Kansas, after nn ab
sence of some three years. His appearance
had so changed that even his father did not re
cognize hint, when be entered the parental
mansion. After the eon had made himself
known, th e father stepped to the door of an
adjoining roan, and calling to his two daugh
ters, informed them a gentletnan wished to
net them. Upon entering the room, the young
ladies did not at first recognize their brother ;
but almost instantly, the eldest, Cecelia recog
nized him and sank instantly to the floor, dead.
Being somewhat delicate, the joyous surprise
of meeting her long absent brother, to whom
she was dearly attached, was tuo much, and her
gentle spirit took its flight to rsalms where her
sudden happiness will endure forever.
The Lecompton correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican, repeats the statement
we have previously published from another
source, that a majority of the Kansas Consti
tutional Convention, headed by Calhoun, the
President, propose to submit the Constitution
to a n to of all the actual residents or ?Cams,
with a choice for and against slavery, the elec
tion to take place on the 20th of Deeembet.
The convention was to have adjourned by the
7th inst. On the other hand, the KllllBlae cor
respondent of the St. Louis Democrat, says
that a radical pro-slavery constitution has been
itagilfitiiiNeVlifritanifift tAttpilltik4ilWfbletol
to the people will be n proposition for n pro
visional government with a pro slavery clause—
s sort of dodging of the question.
THE UTAH EXPEDITION.—CoI. Johnson, who
has in command the Utah expedition, was last
heard front when 230 miles beyond Fort Lara
mie. 'rho snow woo seven inches deep, an
hundred miles this side where the express left
glin. Owing to the slim supply of corn, and
the entire absence of grass, the team and dra•
goon horses were failing rapidly.
News had lynched Fort Laramie that the
Mormons had blunt three Government trains,
consisting of twenty•five wagons, near Green
river, ninety miles behind Col. Alexander's
command, which constituted the vanguard
army.
It is rumored that the sth and 10th regi
ments of infantry, nod the artillery battery
will take possession of the Mormon villages en
Bear river, and make it their winter quartets.

SCHUYLER—On the 3d inst.. of typhoid
fever, at the residence of John G. Frick, SABAH
Mossier Scituvr.ln, aged 35 years, 8 months
and 3 days.
Ono by one they are passing away, and
mournfully fast the shadows are falling among
the memories of our youth. A little while ago,
and she over whose untimely grave we are
weeping now, stood amongst us full of health
and life, and radiant with life and beauty. But
like a thief in the night the Destroyer came,
and health w:thered, and life went out, and all
her r ire gifts are lost to those who loved her on
earth, to be gained in their multiplied efful•
gence, by those who are better fitted to love her
in heaven.
To-morrow she will Le laid in the silent earth
beside the loved ones who have gone before,
and her bier will be honored with tears from
hearts that are sorely stricken. For the dead
have many mourners, and more monuments
than the graven stone that is reared above
them,—' The bosoms of those who loved them
best."
May God in his great mercy, bring consola•
Lieu to the widowed mother's heart, and by the
love of those who are left, strengthen her to
bear her desolate and lonely lot.
"Alas I not for the dead, but for tho mourn.
ere she has left I In death, even love is forgot•
ten, but in life there is no bitterness so utt r as
to feel everything is unchanged, except the is
being who was the soul of all—to know t

above the ordinary of either sex, with kindness
of spirit, amiability of disposition and warmth
of heart, greatly endearing her to all who knew
her excellent qualities, her death will be de.
plored by al! who had the pleasure of her ac•
quaintance. Deeply do we sympathize wills
her widowed mother and family—with he rela
tives—with all who knew her sterling qualities
and can appreciate her loss.—Milling Register.
