It is eminently right and proper that a Christian people should set apart some particular day in every year for especial thanksgiving and prayer, and thus properly express their appreciation of, and grain into for, all the blessings vouchsafed to them by the Great liuhr of the Universe. It must indeed bo an ac ceptable sight in IILs eyes to behold a -whole nation laying aside all secu lar pursuits, and uniting together in Bongs of praise and rendering thanks for His great mercies. It is a time honored and highly appropriate ens torn, and in accordance therewith our civil authorities have appointed next Thmsday as a day of public Thanksgiving, on which day they urge that the churches and other places of public worship be opened, find the places c: business closed. Thanksgiving Day is peculiarly ap propiiate at thi; Siavcn of the year when we have gathered in the fruits of the earth and the harvests have yielded their bomi'-iuil stores. f'Here iu the poMcn hu.h of autumn days. Earth softly pausing from her summer glee, Likea child wh sleeps amid his iliiys. We bring, O, Lord, viir thankful song to Thee!" The people of the United State3 in general, and cf North Carolina in particular, hive especial cause for thanksgiving thw year. Our country is enjoying an unusuaVdegrce of pros perity, and abundant harvests hare rewarded the toil of the husbandman. "While famine has prevailed in other lands, our people have lived in plenty, and every man is free to enjoy his own undisturbed by war's rude alarms. "While pestilence and dis ease have destroyed thousands in other count l ies, we have enjoyed a remarkable degree cf good health. Should we not, then, duly acknowl edge our thanks for these great bless ings "Tes.ce, ir."?-.rrity. and la!;b, Private Mis und j-uMlc wAilih, En jwitvise. vi-.h t: pia-H'-nius streams, Ture Mid"ii's u i'er Loam : Lord, tvr tl te c-ur .- u:. Ual! raise Grateful vow an I solemn i raise." But while vre acknowledge our gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon us, let us not omit expressing in a substantial manner our sympathy for the poor, the suffering, and the afflicted. Let us, on that day, give them cause of thanksgiving and re joicing, by contributing to theii wants, alleviating their distress and receiving their necessities. By so do ing we will test the sincerity of our gratitude, and render our words of praise and prayer acceptable to Him who has ho blessed us. AlOUNTl'FAIR. We arc pleasod to learn that our suggestion to have a county fair is meeting with so favorable a recep tion, and that our people are bestir ring themselves about it. -We thank our esteemed frieud. C A. Rives, for his timely and encouraging letter, which we take pleasure in publishing, and hope that other farmers through out the county will give similar pub licity to their views. Let us keep the ball moving, and determine that Chatham county shall have an an nual exhibition of her products. We can have a fair that will do honor to our old county if we will only make the proper effort, and we ask our far mers if it is not worth the effort ? Already the ladies are taking a lively interest in the matter, and seem anx ious to do their part. We p hall not attempt to enumerate or discuss the advantages that will accrue to the county by holding an annual fair; they are too apparent, and are admit ted by all. Thn why not have ii ? We should discuss tho most feasi ble and practicable way of making the fair a success and its permanency se cure. Tho county seat would natural ly be tho mos appropriate place for holding the fair:--, but of course that can be selected after due considera tion of tho claims and advantages of fered by other places. We doubt not that the citizens of this place would contribute liberally towards securing suitable buildings and grounds, but first let us resolvo that we will have a fir somewhere in the county. Col. Rives suggests that a public" meeting be held here in January, but in order that such a meeting should accoju plieh anything, the farmers of the county must take an interest in the matter. Thoy should at once organ ize their neighborhood clubs, and then organize a county club or Bociety, and this society sho'uld obtain from the Legislature a charter, so that it could hold property and have all the rights of an incorporated body. Tho suggestion of holding a public meet ing is a good one, and we do hope that it may rot result in mora talk. We bayo known public meetings behl in this county whero eloquent fepeeches were mads aud slirring reso lutions adopted and nothing done! We trust that wo will bo mote fortu nato next time. Let us first determino that we will have a fair,, then let us organize a society : obtain an act of incorpora tion ; t elect the most suitable place : er-ct cr buy tho proper buildings and then hold our fair. The "first st- ps Fhonld be promptly taken, to that everybody may know thai we will have a fair next faU and begin to prepai e for it. Shall we have it ? THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. From the Ealeigh News and Ob server we learn that the next General Assembly will be composed of thirty eight Democrats and twelve Eepubli cans in the Senate, and iu the Hoiue seventy six Democrats, forty-two Re publicans and two Independents, so that the Democrats will have an overwhelming majority. Wo trust that they will use their power to the ; good of the State and to the credit of : the party. THE INSANE AMENDMENT. It is thought that the " Insane amendment has been adopted. The vote upon it was very light, in some a l.-i i-i. i: counties not nan uio peopte vouug upon the question at all. This was owing to the fact that the amendment was not explained or discussed at all by the campaign speakers and by on- ; ly a few newspapers, and thoroje the people did not understand or know anything about it. But, as the j Wilmington Star very truly pays, ''wherever the people understood the meaning of the amendment it was re jected." For iu stance, that ablo paper strenuously opposed it, and the coun ty of New Hanover voted against it almost unanimously. We regret that others of our co ternporaries, who since the election have opposed it, did not see fit to do so beforo the election and when their opposition might have done some good. We sincerely trust that our : fears may not be realized, and that the support of our afflicted fellow ereatures may not enter into every political campaign. Tote for Governor. We have received the official vote of several other counties, in addition to those published last week, which is inserted in the following table, from which it will be seen that the majority for Jarvis is 5,713 in the counties officially heard from. Enough has been heard from the remaining counties to inform us that the major ity for Jarvis in the whole State is G.500.
