Washington, September s..

Special to the N. Y. Post -Advices
received here from Virginia leave no doubt
that the rebel leaders, both civil and mill.
tary, have agreed to attempt an advance
upon Washington and Maryland in few
days. Government is fully prepared for
an emergency. The enemy's troops at
Munson's Hill are parading in front of
their works this morning.
The force opposite Washington is esti-
mated by the rebels at l25, 600 with heavy
reinforcements daily arriving. They say
an attack is to be made on Washing ton
the present week. simultaneously with
the attack on Washington demonstrations
are to be made, according to the same al.
thority, near the mouth Of the Ocoqua,
and above, at Edwards Island or White
House Ferry.
The rebels have plenty Of provisions
and whisky. Families and stores have,
however. been entirely drained Of salt,
sugar and coffee. No money can pur.
chase these necessaries. Men frequently
come down to the river and in pi,ous
tones beg their Maryland neighbors for a
pit,ance of these articles, Cows and cat.
tie are suffering for salt. A scanty supply
is sometimes obtained from fish brine, but
thi, is very rare.

lean citizens, to examine, discuss and ex.
press our opinions 10 a peaceful manner,
in reference to the laws Of the land, and
the action of the government, we solemnly
protest against all actual and threatened
arrests Of law abiding citizens, by the mil
itary power, and deem it the duty of every
lover OF the institutions of the country, to
stsnd together, in defence Of the inaliena.
BILE n ght Of Freedom of Speech, and of
the Press
Rcsotred, That while we are willing to
bear all necessary burdens, which may be
properly imposed on US as people, in
the maintenance of the constitution and
laws; We nevertheless protest against the
inequality and injustice of the late law of
Congress, imposing a direct tax, by which
the people of Iowa are compelled to pay
rate of taxation on the value of their
property, more than twice as large as the
people of the New England States.
Resolred, That the privilege of the writ
OF hddeds corpus, is one Of the greatest
bulwarks of freedom, and that no citizen
can be legally deprived of the benefit
thereof, except by Congress, and then only
in case of rebellion or invasion, when the
public safety may require it.
Resotred, That tho volunteer soldiers,
who. at the call OF their country. promptly
went forth to do battle in defense of the
constitution and laws, and in many cases
were compelled to serve under inexperi-
enced officers, are entitled to our hearty
thanks for the gallant manner in which
they have discharged their duties.
Resotred, That the conduct Of the vol
unteers of the several Iowa Regiments in
the present war, is worthy of the highes.
praise, and the admiration of their coun
trymen; and this Convention takes spec
ial pride in expressing their gratitude to
the officers and members Of the Iowa First
Regiment for their unhinching bravery at
the late battle Of Wilson's Creek, NJ ,
and hereby tenders its warmest thanks and
congratulations to the men and their gall
liant regimental officers.
Resolred, That we deplore the death Of
Stephen A. Douglas. by which the Demo
cratic party lost one of the boldest and
most gallau. expounders of its principles,
the Union one of its frmest supporters,
the country its ablest statesman and now
tina. he is in his grave, we are none the
less resolved to stand fast to the teachings
of his political life.

Fort Monroe, Nov. Z.
A physician Of the u. S. Navy, sent to
Norfolk on Monday, with flag Of truce
from Gen. Wool on some business of his
own, was brought back this afternoon by
a rebel flag of truce. He reports that
tclagraphic dispatches were received to-
day at Norfolk that our feet was then the
9TH inst bombardlns Port Royal, s. G.,
and the work on both sides was very
sharp and hot Two of the transports,
one supposed to be the Ocean Express
having ammunition ON board, and the
Union carrying horses, were lost during
the gale. The telegraph at Norfolk is in
constant operation, bringing dispatches
from the scene of operations. The wild
est excitement prevails among the rebels
in Norfolk, also among the people at this
point. The Union was new vessel,
built in New York and intended for the
use of the Quartermaster' Department
here. She was very fast sailer, and was
intended to be the return vessel to bring
news of the result. The supposition is
that Port Royal is reduced, and that our
troops had effected landing by this time.
Tomorrow we expect particulars, as a
vessel is hourly expected.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
BY THE
Governor of the State of Iowa.

Another year has gone, and we are
brought to that period, when, following
the example of our Puritan Fathers, we
are accustomed to offer our public Thanks
giving to the Author of all good for his
merciful providence towards us. Wonder
full changes have occurred during the past
year, and universities seem to have over
taken us as country and people; yet
we have manifold blessings for which to
be thankful For the bounteous harvests
of the field, for the general good health of
the past year, for the peaceful relations
we occupy with nations abroad, for the
aroused patriotic spirit Of the People
which promises in due time to restore
peace at home and triumphantly place our
civil and religious institutions Of Freedom
on frmer foundation than ever before
for these and many other blessings we have
abundant canse for Christian gratitude.
With Civil War raging in our midst, the
banner of Rebellion waving along all the
Southern border, hostile armies parching
10 the conflict, and walls of mourning al
ready swelling from thousands of stricken
hearts and holds-that we can still
recognize manifold causes of gratitude and
acknowledge His kindly providence, and
confidently place our trust in His hand to
control this storm for the Nations good,
may entitle us to the renewed favor of Him
who doeth all things well.
To this end, /, Samuel j. kirkwood,
Governor of the State of Iowa, do hereby
appoint Thursday, the 18th dsy of No
vember next, as a day of Thanksgiving;
and ! earnestly recommend the people of
the State to abstain on that day from their
usual avocations, and assemble at their
respective places ofworship to offer Thanks,
Prayer and Praise to Him in whose mercy
now more than ever is our great trust.

Governor Of Iowa.

founded. A letter just received from

some days, has been made by the people
of South Carolina and Georgia to induce
jeff. Davis to detail Beauregard to COM
mand the Notifications at Bulls Bay or
Port Royal, in the event that the feet
should attempt landing at either of these
points The letter states the general be-
lief was that the fleet was destined for
Beaufort A pretty large force had been
dispatched from the Potomac to defend
that point.
The official announcement to the army
of the rctiracy Of Gen Scott and the as
sumption Of command by Mcclellan has
