The President this afternoon is sued the following proclamation: Constant thanksgiving and grati tude are due from the American people to Almighty God for his goodness and mercy, which have followed them since the day he made them a nation, and vouch safed to them a tree government. With loving kindness he lias con stantly led us in the way of pros perity and greatness. He has not visited with swift punishment our short comings, but with gracious care he has warned us of our dependence upon his forbearance and has taught us that obedience to his holy law is the price of a continuance of his precious gift. In acknowledgement ot all that God has done for us as a nation, and to the end that, on an ap pointed day, the united prayers and praise of a grateful country may reach the throne of grace, I, Grover Cleveland, President ot the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November instant as a day of thanksgiving and praise, to be kept and observ ed throughout the laud. On this day, let all our people suspend their ordiuary work and occupa tions; and in their accustomed places of worship, with prayer and songs of praise, render thanks to God for all his mercies for the abundant harvests, which have re warded the toil of the husband man durintr the year that has passed, and for the rich rewards that have followed the labors of our people lit their shops ana tneir marts of trade and traffic. Let us give thanks for peace aud for so cial order and contentment within our borders, and for our advance ment in all that adds to national greatness.

Correspondence ot the Morganton Star. My long looked for visit to the mountains and the Linville Falls, was taken last Monday, the 29 Oct., loss, in compauy with my pilot, Mr. Joseph B. Hunter, we left his home on Linville river at 1 A. M., and made our way slow ly up the mountain road, and at Jumping Off place, I got my first view of the surrounding country from a high point. We then made our way to the top of the Pinacle, where I hitched my faithful "Mor gan" to a saplin, and he tied his untiring mule, Nell, to another, aud then we climbed the rocks to the uignesc pomr. Tins Demg my of the indescribable scene ; almost speechless wo drank in and digest ed as much as we could, occasion ally venturing to say grand! The mighty Linville rushed over the sixty or seventy feet of precipice into the basin below. Back bv '.the same route we came to the top where we viewed the upper part. The water came quietly, and lazily from around the bend of the river, until it drifted over the first short fall, when, as if maddened by the sudden inter ruption, it rushed furiously to the pot, thence rising, white with rage, it swept its mighty torrent into the cove below, and then as if satisfied that it had accomplished quietly and ng ana re joicin Going back to our horses, we re traced the path to the road, to Rattlesnake Springs, the Itasca of the North Fork river; thence by the road leading to the North Cove by way of the Winding Stairs. At the head of the stairs we dismounted and walked, lcad iug our horses down the narrow and steep winding path a half mile or more. We again struck the North Fork in Cedar Cove, and after crossing and recrossiug it many times we came into the S2f v- - Vf B. a purpose, it passed farst experience in the mountains, peacefully on, rippli; 1 ielt high up.

The sun was shining in all his glory, and the winding, restless, Linville shown like a sheet of silver; upon its bosom seeming myriads of dia dems glittered in the sunlight.

We mounted our steeds again, and proceeded up the Cranberry road, and, by chance, we aw Shook's Rock House, now known as ''Turtle Head Bock," from its very near resemblance to the stretched out turtle's head as if in the act of crawling over the mouu tain side to destruction below. Along this route the before men tioned mountains were more dis tinct, aud nearer, and more natur al, bnt grauder and captivating. Ridiug ou. -we climbed up to the top of Clary's Peak, the highest point on Dog-Back, and the high est peak of the Linville ransre. Here we. stopped awhile to take in another and farther view of the country; and like the man from Mitchell, we thought if the world was as big the other way as from where we saw it on that lofty emi nence, it was certainly a big world. We were now at about our nearest point to the Table et als. Hawk's Bill like a pile of sheet rocks towered high; these sheets of rocks were laid apparently, like scales on a hsh, out in reverse order. Here were the Chimneys in plain view; further to the north was the Ginger Cake more like a vulture lazily resting after a sumptuous feast. All these points were in view along the major part of the trip. Biding down the other side of Clary's Peak to Low Gap, we saw a veritable pond of water, remind ing us of Pasquotank where bull frogs jump from bank to bank, and yell their hideous yank-o-yank. Going up Chestnut Knob, we turned out to a fine, bold spring, the head of Laurel Branch; here we stopped for refreshments. Remountiug our animals, we rode over the top of Little Chest nut Knob to the end ot Locust Thicket: turning out to the lett as we proceed. We arrived at the home of Mr. llomulus Browu, and being invited to spend the night, we alighted, and spent the time pleasantly with this kind and hos pitable family. Leaving there early next morn ing the 30, we recrossed the Fork and rode up Linville mountain and took another view of the beautiful scenery, here we noticed particularly the western moun tains, Mitchell's, and Cliugmain -w--. -w . . -a a a r, reaks, Little Yellow, ana uig Yellow, mountains.
