THE LANCASTER LEDqjSRf SATURDAY MORNING, Nov'bcr 11th, 1SR5. tr The time for which many ot our subscribers have paid will soon expire. Wo give them this warning that i'i?y may renew, as the paper, in a..l c/srs, wi I ho discontinue . ed at tiic expiration ct the time lor which tliey have paid.

New OoodiThe wants of our people'for many of the articles of mcrcbuuliso were never more uumcr'oks than at present, ami as money is very 'scarce, it is important ilia', they inuko judicious selections and lay out their lunds to the ' best advantage. With the view to assist them, ' we direct attention to the advertisement of Lhe^lrm of Cochrane & W ilsou in this paper. These gentlemen, who have lately commenced business in this place, arc natives of Mecklenburg County, N. C., and aro well known to some of our citizens as being every way worthy of phblio confidence and patronage. Buyers will find at their establishment a well asi sorted stock of such articles as are mostly needed at this time. Head their advertisement and give them a call. The Governor's Message. A large proportion of our available space, this week, ,is devoted to the publication of the j admit able Message of His Excellency, Governor Feirt, to the Lcgi>lature. It is one of the most pertinent nnd practical messages that we have ever seen eniinate from a Governor of this State, and will well repay careful perusal. Ilia measure for relieving the people Itom immediate taxation, and bis suggestions in regard to the College and to the It.utl-: ot the State, we hope will be concurred- in by the Legislature, and followed ly appropriate legislation on these important subjects. Gen'l. John D. Kennedy* This gentleman, who, our readers are aware, if^s-candidate to represent the first Congressional District fit the national Cong'ess, paid our Village a visit on Monday Just. Ltiicf us liis visit-wus, it tended gieaily losUcngtlt.cn the favorable imprest-ion among our people, previously conceived in his favor, from the cry gallant and distinguished, -position "which the Genetal sustained during the war. At the request of tlie citizens, lie addressed Litem in tit; Court House in a speech ol about a half hours length. Though a cold an., he was lis* t? ned to wilt maikon attention, and his effort was highly applauded It was replete with sound logic, good advice, nnd evinced a clear concept'on ol the Solemn and important issues .of the day. He advocates full accuicsonce in .the result ql the late struggle, and urges a ready and unnvnioua snppot of President Johnson's Administration.

President Johnson has appointed the first Thursday in Decomber as a day of national Thanksgiving for the blessings of peace ?ud civil liberty, and aversion from the calamities of foreign war, pes tilence and famine. It is reported on reliable authority that the President contemplates commuting' the sentence of Captain Wirz to impris ontn^nt for life. General Joseph E Johns >? has been appointed President of the National Ex> press company, recently organized in Richmond, Va. Havana advices confirm the mutiny at Jamaica. Many revolting murders of the whites had taken place and groat alarm prevailed. Information has been received at the Freedr/.on'a Carcau, Washington, from the Chief Medical Utlieer in charge of the freed men in Alaba'nvt, that the small pox :s raging all through the Slate, and although every precaution Las been taken to prevent its spreading, cow cases aro appearing daily, aud probably will continue to do so through the winter. Frivato loiters from western Texas say the Confederates who went to Mexico when tho Trnns-MiasUsippi army surrenderod are returning, disgusted with the Mexicans. Secretary Seward baa notified Gover* nor Johnson, of Georgia, that the Fresi dent cannot recognize tho people of any Slate as having resumed its relations of loyalty to the Union that admits as legal obligations coLtracts or debts created in their name to promote the war of rebelli ion. * Col. James Farrow, of Spartanburg, fcas been pardoned by tbo President. It has been generally supposed that all the members"of lb* South Carolina Couven | tlon were pardoned *, bnt this is a mis- | take, as txceptions wore made in several ! cases.?PAcenix.
