It <outains the utterances of the trae Christian, and the moral power which made the na~ what itis. It reads as follows : ~+Whereas, It is the duty of all nations ‘acknowledge the Providence of Al mighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and. humbly implore His oa og: pth and favor; and, whereas,both Houses of Congress have, by their Joint Committees,’ requested mé to recommend to the people of the United States a day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer, to be observed b Pichi bie pte A with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by ‘affording then: an opportunity of peaceably establishing 4 form of government for their. safety and happiness. Now therefore, 1 do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th, day of November next, to be devo, ted by the people of these States to the service of the great and glorious Being who is the benificent aathor of ali the good that was, that is, will be.

The observance of the day has gradual ly,epread until now itis observed in every state. From the -earliest settle ment of the colonies to the present time, the Government authorities have adknowledged the direction of a Supreine Being in the affairs of nations,. and the large bodies of professed Chris tians «thréughoat tlie ceuntry to-day will in obedience to the proclamation of the Chief Execative of the nation and the Governors of the several Statead unite in thanksgiving and prayer, to the Aluighty ‘for blessings bestowed upon us as a'people in the past year.

The first leaves th Cex. to be regulated by the Board of Supervisors, and the . seeond -provides ‘a> uniform system’ of fees with ample compensation in the several grades: A brief exainination ‘. leads us to the opinion *that the latter is the best system, as under it the matter would be finally settled, and under this latter plan the Supervisore have the right to change from one grade to another, in order to increase or diminish the salary fund. W6 Widpe! tlie’ Comimission will be as successfulin dealing Y . with the Revenue’System as they have with the political@oideA Whe present Revenue Law is as obscure a mass of incongruities as could be collected Amendmenté hidvé beer made without their bearing upon other,parts of the law being understood, and many of the retjbivenhénts are onerous upon taxpayers and require unnecessary labor of the officers. «This is. especially: true ‘of the process for’ the collection of delinquent taxes.,.After, the first, Monday in November booksand receipts change hands so rapidJy that itis even difficult for officers to keep trace of them. The whole system as it now is, tends to the discouragement -of improvement, and makes it the interest of land holders and mine owners to keep their property in an undeveloped condition. If the Commission will devise.a system of Revente, éasily understood by the people,and which will result in bringing about # uniform aystem of taxation, an inéaletilable benefit will’ be conferred @a the State, ATTEMPT TO THROW ) A,» TRAIN: OFF THE TRACK.—On Saturday night a week ago, says the Sun Jose Patriot, an evil disposed person placed a heavy board across the track of the S.

The train passed over it without sustainieg any injury, On lage Saturday night while the train was in full motion, about half a mile north of the San: ta Clara Depot, the engine car encountered the end ofa hedvy railroad tie, which had been #0 ‘placed Oh'One end of.a cattle guard,: leaning wo*that the 4 engine car. The concussion of the-car against the tie was very severe —a por“. tion cf the. frame wood work:-aroand the plattorm was carried away, and. the that the train was not thrown from the track and many lives lost. ‘The villaia perpetrating such a. crime, should if found out, meet with a severe. punishment. — Hea.tu.—The Grass Valley Union speaking of the health of our neighboring town says! This town should be healthy. The water is good ‘for the most part, and the climate is perfectly glorious. Yet we have much sick ness just at this time. Typhoid. prevails to geome extent, and lighter disvases originating from malaria prevail more. We account ‘for some ‘of this, by the grouad of the streets being coverdd with rotten wood, The sewerage is also bad in some cases. The drain on Auburn sireet has been planked over which hides the filth from the eyes. of thiose Who pass along ; but the covers are not so cluse but that bilge water oders escape.
