EPBWLAMATION BY THE
. PRESIDENT.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
,. _ A Proclamation. .
The year that is =draiving towards its.
close has been filled with the blessing of
fruitfield fields and healthful skies. To
these bounties which are so constantly
enjoyed, that we are prone to . forget the
,nourco,.from.- which. they: come; others
have. been: added whicb'are of so extra-
ordinary a (nature that they cannot fail.
to penetrate and :soften even the heart.
which is habitually insensible to the ever.
watchful Providence of Almighty God.
- In the midst of a civil war of hue-
qualled magnitude and severity which.
has sometimes seemed to: invite andupro-
voke the aggressions of foreign states,1
pcace has been preserved with all nations,
. order has been. maintained, the laws’have
been respected and obeyed, and harmony
has prevailed everywhere except in the.
theatre of military conflict, while that:
theatre has been greatly contracted by
the advancing armies and navies of .the
Union. ‘ The needful diversion of wealth4
and strength from the fields of peaceful
industry to the National defence; have
not arrested theplow, the shuttle, or the
ship.
The axe has enlarged the borders of
our settlements, and the mines as Well as
of iron and coal, as of the precious
metals, have yielded even more abun—g
dantly than before. “ ,
withstanding the waste that has been
made by the camp, the :siege and the
battlefield, and the country rejoicing in
theeonsciousuess of augmented strength
and vigor, is permitted to expect contin—
uance of years with large freedOm, no
human counsel hath devised, nor' hath,
any mortal hand worked out these great
Most High God—who, while dealing
with us in anger for our sins, hath never—
theless remembered mercy, it has seemed
to me fit and proper that they should be
solemnly, reverently and gratefully ac—
knowledged as with one heart andvoice
by the whole American people. I do,
therefore, invite my fellow citizens in
every part of the United States, and,
also those who are at sea,’ and those who
are sojourning in foreign lands, to set
November next as a day of Thanksgiving
and Prayer to our Beneficent Father
who dwelleth in the Heavens, and. I re-
commend to them that while offering up
the ascriptions justly due to Him for
such singular deliverances and blessings,
they do also with humble penitence for
our National perverseness and disobedi-
ence, commend. to his tender care all
those who have become widows, orphans,
mourners or sufferers in the lamentable
civil strife in which we are unavoidably
‘ engaged, and fervently implore the inter-1
. position of the Almighty hand to heal
the wounds of the Nation and restore it,
as soon as may be consistent with the
divine purpose, to the full enjoyment 0f
peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Seal of the
United Statesto be affixed. ' 3
._ 'Done at the City of thhington, this
third day of October, in the year of Our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three, and of the Independence of
the United States the eighty-eighth.

We commend with more than ordina-
ry pleasure. the new enterprise about to
be inaugurated by Mr. R. B. Snowden

Mr. S is a ripe scholar and will be like-

fondness for learning into the minds of his

Soldiers’ Aid Society.
At the annual meeting of the Soldiers’
Aid Society of Norwalk, October 1st,
1803. the Secretary submitted the fol-
lowing report of the doings of the Society
for the post year, 'which was approved
and directed to be published:
The Society has numbered during the
year, one hundred and three members.
The weekly meetings for work and busi~
uess have been holden in the basement of
the 2d Methodist Episcopal Church, with -
regularity. The attendance has not
been as numerous as could be desired,
but much work has been done at home
.by some who could not conveniently at-
tend. The Society has not received any
materials from the Sanitary Commission
since March last, and has been supplied
for the remainder of the year entirely by
thevcontribntions of the liberal and pat‘
riotic citizens 'of the town. It received
donations to the amount of $163.72,
and' expended $152.12, leaving cash on
hand, $11.60,.and has made up and fur?
nished to the Commission the following
articles, viz.:
V281 shirts,
116 pairs drawers,
8 dressing gowns,
48 pairs mittens,
268 “ socks,
., ' '295 . “ slippers,
1 ’ ,50boxes lint,
f 182 napkins,
500 bandages,
20 pillow cases,
223 towels, '
266 handkerchiefs.
There can be no doubt that the arti-
cles so made and furnished have~been
used for the sick and wounded soldiers of
the armies, and have contributed essen-
tially to the alleviation of their suffer-
ings. ,
The Society enters on another year
with a new subscription already amount-
ing to $132, and h0pe by further sub-
scriptions and the cheerful labor of its
members, to do much to mitigate the
sufierings of those whom wounds and
sickness consign to the hospital and beds
of pain and languishing. ' ,
_ J After this w'eék the. Soldiers? Aid So-
ciety will.” meet every Tuesday instead of

for the needy soldiers are earnestly in-
vited to attend. ~

The l'ith Alabama Regiment was ordered
by Gen. Maury to put down the disturb-
ance, but they refused to do duty.‘ The
Mobile Cadets .then tried their hands
and were defeated and forced to fly by
the women.» Peaceful measures finally
quieted the famine-stricken women. The
rioters openly proclaimed their determi-

rapidly devised to relieve their suflerings
or to stop the war, to burn the whole

“‘The arrival of the steamship Ar-
ago, from Charletson Bar on the mor-
ning of the 26th inst., puts in as pos-
session of our correspondence from Mora
ris Island and Port Royal to that date.
Our troops on Morris Island still contin-
ued most seduonsly engaged in the con-:
struction of batteries and mounting of
siege guns, with the object of attacking
Chrleston. The prosecution of this work,
though not seriously retarded, was yet
difficult of acoomplishment on account
of the severe fire to which the working
parties are subjected by the batteries on
James and Sullivan’s Islands. The naval
vessels still maintained a position of dig-
nified inactivity, having failed to make
an ofi'ensive movement since the attack
on Fort Moultrie and Sullivan Island
batteries three weeks ago, and the dam-
age inflictad on that occasion is likely ere. ‘
this to have been thoroughly repaired.—

MUTILATED TREASURY Norse-Consid—
erable complaint has been and still is
made at the refusal of the Post Ofiice to
receive the worn and mutilated Treasu-
ry notes and postal currency. They are
redeemed only at the Treasury of the
United States at Washington whither
they can be sent addressed to the Trees-
urer of the United States by mail free of
postage. A draft on the Assistant Treas-
urer at New York for the amount allow-
ed, will be returned in the'same way, to
the address of the person remitting the
same. Mutilated fractional notes pre—
sented must be in sums of not less than $3»

A DUTCH ROMANCE.-—Some thirtyfonr
years ago, a young man left his bride in
Amsterdam, with the object of proceed-
ing to America, in order to better his
position. Soon after his arrival, he wrote
to his wife enclosing a certain sum of mon-
ey to enable her to proceed to New York
to join him. The letter was sent to his
brother who kept the money, destroyed
the letter, concealed the- whole -matter
from his sister-in-law, represented to her
husband that she had died, and forthwith
left the country. Her husband, in the
course of time, married a second wife. in
New York; he was succeeding well in bu-
siness, while his wife in Amsterdam re-
garded him as deéd, and was making or-
rangements for her second , marriage.
That event however, never occurred; for
the second lover died a few days before
the day fixed for the wedding. Her hus-
band, meanwhile last your lost his New
York wife, and having made a fortune
which he was unwilling to subject to the
risk of war, be disposed of his business,
and 'a few days ago returned to Amster- _
dam to see once more the place- of his
birth. During those thirty-four years of
absence, the few friends he had had died
or otherwise vanished; but accident
brought to light the fact that the bride
he left behind him was still alive. She,
indeed, during all this time had lived in
comparative pennry; but he is rich. The
bride and bridegroom of thirty-four years
ago, somewhat changed in externals, are
again husband and wife, and as such pro
pose living till death them do part, in the
‘ peace'able enjoymentof those means he
had secured by a life of industry and ap-
plication, spent during a matrimonial in-
»terreguumsjvvhose validity would proba-
bly be a nice questiOn for learned heads
to solve.
