SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, Ihanksgiving--Prockmation by tho Governor of tho Territory of Washington. An eventful period in our Nation's history now passing.

Shu is struggling with a r.ionstrous conspiracy, which hits for its end and aim the overthrow of constitutional liberty, the destruction of the best and most belu ticent Government ever instituted among men. Whilst this mighty contest is going forward, whilst national existence has been imperilled, whilst many of our kinsmen have yielded up life to maintain the integrity of the American Union, the people of Washington Territory have been exempted from the of most direful civil war, so deplorably raging in other sections of our glorious country. Thanks to "Our Father which art is: lleaveti," treason has not dared to uplift its hideous standard within oar Territorial Our great Creator has with this people fulfilled Ilis covenant, that seed time and liarvest shall not cease," in bounteously blessing Ihe labors of the husbandman. Success lias crowned every branch of industrial pursuit. General health and prosperity have been tlkportion of our people, and the Territory has largely increased in wealth and population.

It is mete therefore, that we should give thanks to the Great Bcstower of these many Therefore, William Pickering, Governor of tho Territory of Washington, do set apart and appoint THUKSDAY, the sJ7th day of November, instant, (18G2) is a day of Th inksgiving and Prayer to Almighty God in whose h.mriß is the fate of our Nation. Audi invoke my fellow citizens, upon that day, that they lay aside their temporal labors, mid as.soluble at their places of worship, and thank God for those mercies, we shared, and pray that ourjuleis may be endowed with wisdom nnd strength; that the government may triumph over treason in anus that National peaee and unity may be restored; and that our glorious country inny again resume her place, as first among the Nations of the Earth. Doue at Olympin, this sth day of November, in tho voar of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Nationality of the United States of America, the eighty-seventh. WILLIAM PICKERING. By the Governor.

Close of the Second Volume. This number completes the second volume of the WASHINGTON STANDARD. Of our past course wo care not to speak. We endeavored to perform the arduous duties of our position conscientiously, and for the best interests of our people and our beloved country. We have at thnes used harsh lauguige, but, wo trust, no plainer than the occasions have required.

Tho same course, substantially shall be pursued in the future conduct of the STANDARD, but where we are convinced tb.it we liave erred, as perhaps we have in one or two iustanets of miuor importance, the fruits of experience shall not be lost. Wo are prepared to commence the new volume with renewed assurances of success, and will endeavor to improve our paper during tho year as much as we have improved it from the start. We have now tried i both the credit and the advance pay systems, and iind the latter to work to charm. While, during the firet year of our publication, we bad a larger list of our cash receipts were nearly one hundred per cent, less than for the present year! As in the past year, ive can make no exceptions to our rule, however loth we may bo to refuse the paper to many whom wo know to be reliable. It is only by this system that can possibly, guard against the class, a few of whom are to be found in almost every community, who take the paper on long the intention of never paying for it.

We congratulate ourself that wo have compelled several of this class to pay in which righteous act we forgive them a multitude cf sins. We are also gratified that we have saved from 50 to 75 cents iu blank paper alone, upon the class of subscribers who do not consider it incumbent upon them to pay only a ntwtpaper bill," and we make at lenat that amount out of them whether they agree to it or not. These bints are not intended for our regular subscribers; they all pay ia advance; but for the borrowers, and that class into wbose bands it may chance to tall, who are only detered from subscribing for fear that "the darned thing might 'dry We admit that it may pjualesuuie to account for our success, when other coetiog mach lew in publication, have suspended, or at least are coutiuually ou their "last pins;" bat a moment's reflection will explain all: Ist, we do mneli of the nieehnnical work of the STANDARD oursdf 2d, we have lio bal debts; and 3d, we continue to improve our paper and make it keep pace with the improvement of onr Territory. This exi plains the whole matter. We have not only conttived so as to not miss nn issue, but to incrense the amount of reading matter, and to improve the mechanical appearance of the per.

As to failurt, we stated iu the outstart that with us there should be no such word as fail; nor shall there be. We ask the subcriptions only of those who sympathize with us in aiding nur Government, and in bringing the Union forth untarnished from the grasp of traitors who huve plotted its destruction. And the support of such men we shall surely have, and with them rest our cause. subsc.iptions expire with this number. We hope none will be offended if we erase their names.

Frauds in the Indian Department. A correspondent from Washington that Mr. Mix, tor many yenrj Chief Clerk in the odbo of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, remarked recently, that, during twenty-seven years that ho bad been in the Indian Department at Washington, he had not seen or heard of so many chargu of fraud and peculation in that Department 0 3 bare occurred under the preheat Administration." I We take the above editorial paragraph from the Oregon Statesman of Oct. 27. The de-1 sign of the editor is too apparcut to lequire comment.

It is to impress the public mind with the idea that corruptions in the ludian Department have greatly increased under the present fact, that more fraud and peculation has been committed within the past few months than for the twentyseven years that Mr. Mix has been in the Indian Departmental Washington. The Chief Clerk oi the Commissioner is made to say, in many words, that he had not seen nor hen id of so many charges ol fraud and peculation in that Department, as have occurred under the present Administration," and that he had been in the Department for twentyseven years." It in not a little strange that the Chief Clerk of the Indian Bureau should have made stub a statement, and were it not that the Statesman is, as a generality, very caicful in regard to its statements, we should lie inclined to question the 1 veracity of its Washington correspondent. The editor seems willing to have it inferred lhat he regards the present administration of Indian Affairs the most corrupt of any that has preceded it, while the iiies of his piper wiil show lhat he regtided lhat lis being rotten to the very core when Piesident Lincoln took charge of tie- Government. We are unwilling to believe lhat Mr.

Mix would be g' ilty of so (1 ignint an act of bad faith as is involved in the implied charge of grops corruption in the Department with which be stands connected in a most responsible and confidential rebitioi.sliip. We con elude, therefore, that Mr. Mix must have been lie may have said that more ises of fraud and peculation had been brought to the attention of the Department since the accession to power of the new Administration, than had been brought to light for the previous twenty seven years. It is undoubtedly title that the present head of the Indian Bureau, Mr. Dole, has ferreted out more frauds in the Indian service than hid been disclosed for the last thirty years.

1 hey nre not frauds which have been committed under the Administration of President Lincoln, but those committed mostly under the administrations of Pierce and Buchanan; and the best witness Mr. Covode could have availed himself of in proof of the charge would have been files of the Oregon Statesman. But we are not surprised that now, since it is deemed expedient by the Statesman to re; construct the Democratic party, that it should try to throw the sins of.the Democracy upon the shoulders of Facts nud figures are stubborn things, and it will not be possible tor piper, or any of its ilk. to s.tddle upon the Administiation ol President Lincoln tlio frauds and peculations of the for- mor Administrations. It is but just that thin Administration should bo Id responsible lor frauds which IIIIVH been committed under it, and will spare no effort to ferret them out and expose them to public indignation.

The Statesman has already done much towards exposing the grots -cul itifins of ihe Indian department in Oregon dniing the corrupt administration of llit. nnn. and wo doubt not i. will cheerfully aid the present able and Hirst initio ti'orls to solve the problem of how agents with a sdary of $1,500 a year man 'ged to 1 I save from it $40,000 to throe or four years. That piper nays that this was accomplished under Uuchanan's administra- tion, and that, too, so often tli.it it did not seem to carry with it any disgrace, in the estimation of Democrats, hilt, on the contrary, was a passport to high political distinct ionjn the ranks of the Union Democracy.

Is it surprising, then, if it should appear on inves; ligation that there is here and there Republican who is walking in the footsteps of Domocntie predecessors? Wo deny tint any peculations have boon coin- initted by' Republican officials that were not 1 practiced by their Democratic predecessors with the upp ireut sanction of the department. A thorough inves igation by a committee of Congress, with authority to send for persons nud pipers, would demonstrate the tiutli of what wo say. Wo make no charge of pecula-' lation against any one agent in particular, 'either under the last Administration or the present, but we do say that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been charged against the Oovermneut which were not expended for the benefit of the Indians nor the employees. For example: the Government has been charged wMi ninny thousand dollars for improvements upon the various Indian reserva- I lions, during the last Administration, which any man of good judgment will say could have boon made for one-iourth, and. perhaps, in tome instances of one-tenth the money.

Again, agents have credited thn nttdvos for the full amounts allowed by treaty fur the benefit of the Indiaus, when not one-fonrth was ever actually paid to the parties i ing for it. These frauds were perpetrated under the two preceding Administrations, and did not appear to attract the attention of the Bureau where Mr. Mis occupied the position of Chief Clerk, bat the moment the Republican party takes charge of the Government the cry of fraud and peculation is raise from one end of the nation to the to the other, by the very men wbo had practiced and tolerated them up the last hour of Buchanan's Administration. I There are good reasons for believing that moat of the charges made against the Repubj licnn incumbents, ore false and unfouudod. They are made at a venture, knowing as most Democrats do that they had been to long practiced and tolerated by themselves, that there would necessarily be here and there a Republican successor who would yield to I the pecuniary temptation, and follow the example set them by their Democratic predecessors.

Those wbo shall be found on investigation to have done this will be removed from the oilices which they disgrace. We insist that it is not only due to the best interests of the Government that the investigation we propose should be immediately made, but it ia iUi d.n to th and his subordinates that they should not be held responsible for frauds that are committed by their which arc now attempted to be palmed off upon them. Wo do not wish to understood as expressing the opinion that all the frauds upon the Treasury have been confined to the Indian department, nor lhat the investigation pro' posed should be restricted to the Pacific eoast. We believe that corruption has existed in all the departments of tint service, and that when such an investigation shall be had as was made by Covode Committee, into the Eastern custom-houses, it will bring to light a system of peculation and fraud, iinhlushingly practiced under former Administrations, which will the nation, We may take occasion, hen-after, to point out some of the abuses which have been practiced in the Land department, but we content outsell'tor the present with merely remarking that a fair investigation will show that instead of our Republican Land Oilieera bcinp guilty of any one of the charges of fraud and peculation charged against them, that these very things have been practiced ytar after year by their predecessor with the apparent sanction of Ibo department at Washington.

John A. Lo jnn of Southern Illinois. Gen. Logan, while at recently on a temporary leave of absence, speech to his constituents and old Democratic friends, from which we an eloquent mid patriotic extract, which will he found on our first page. It will lie remembered by those who lire familiar with the comiueiiceincut of the rebellion, and its for tlie first few months, that Gen.

Log in, who was then in Congress, sympathized strongly with the South, being Breckinridge Democrat. He refused to support the war until after the delegate sent by the Peace Democracy Iml returned and reported that 110 terms would be accepted by the South other than an unconditional acknowledgement of their independence. lie then said that there was no other alternative left the Government but to coerce them into submission, even at the cost of million of lives and nil the treasure at the command of Government; and he returned to his home in Illinois, raised a regiment for hinifelf and assis'ed in raising others, and since then has fought like a liero, well earning a Brigadier's commission. The rebuke which he administered to tli ise who are now trying to reconstruct the Democratic party, for the purpose of leaking war upon 'be Administration, is most withering, and will apply with peculiar force to those of like determination among H6. There are those who call themselves Union men who instead of rallying to the support of the Government uro finding fault with the President, criticising every movement of our army, and charging our Generals with incompetency whenever they have failed to accomplish all that was desired.

Such exhibitions of patriotism as are manifested bv Geii. Loguu and his old Democratic associates, is worthy of all commendation, and will constitute one of the brightest piges of our national history. Tli-y know no party but the UNION. They give the President and his Administration their most cordial support both from the rostrum and upon thu battlefield, and their glorious and patriotic example wili put to shaiue and confusion those who are now engaged in the treasonable work of undermining the confidence of the people in the Administration anil its Generals iu tbe field. The gallant Stevens, the great leader of th- Democratic organisation of the nation, declared tbe party disbanded, and enrolled himself in the Union army, under President Lincoln, to aid iu restoring the Union.

There are but two parties in the land the one an unconditional Union partv Union with shivery or wiihout first, last and all the the disunion party, which seeks by stealthy to delude the honest man into an indirect snpport of Jeffdotn. The patriotic Logan, and his brave associates in arms, so understand it. The immortal Stevens has so proclaimed it aud scaled the declaration with his blood. ileel, of the Ocrrland Preu, complains I hat the Government officials don't subscribe liberally enough to the Sanitary Fund. We appreheud that if iliey had thirty, five thousand dollars of Government money to operate upon, and were to steal from the pockets of honest laboring men, by refusing to pay their vouchers when presented, in order that they might buy them up on the large discount, they might afford to gHre more.
