American En- iueers' Association was held In the
Cooper Institute Oh Wednesday evening T. b. STILL
NAN, esq., presiding On tie motion off. X. SihPsor,
the Volunteer Committee sppoinied to furnish lit Of
engleers willing 10 seIve in any capacity under the
Government that may be required of lhem da1ng the
war; was instructed TO extend the l,ts Of names al
ready re eived, and to compile therefrOm directory
of engineers, including all parts OF the United States
for the use Of the Association and Others; such decto
~ 10 be kept where it will be esiy eseibe TO all
who may desire refer TO it, The idea Is very COM
mendsbe one, ana is sufficiently interesting to men
ton that already large number Of our best engineers
civil as well med ancal, have freely offered them
relves. Anoiber resolution adopted, on motion o.
Mr.. BABcecK, authorizing the Preaident 10 present
copies Of tie above to the Secretaries OF the ar and
Navy Departments. Some discussion took place on
the subject of gup-boats. The general impression
seemed TO be that the price for bnding liked by The
Government is too low for NewYorkers-torse-
oneuy that the bulls would he contracted for from
the Eastern States. Hereafter the regular meetings OF
the Association will DC held monthly until cool weather
Sets in.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
BY TfIE
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
nercItul providence towards US. Wonder
full changes have occurred daring the past
year, and advcrsities seem to have over
taken us as a country and people; yet
we have manifold blessings for which TO
be thankful. For the bountcous haryests
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 triumphantiy place our
civil and religious institutions Of Freedom
on firmer foundation than ever before
for these aud many other blessings we have
abundant cause for Christian gratitude
With Civil War raging in our midst, the
banner of Rebellion waving along all the
Southern border, hostile armies marching
to the conflict, and walls Of mourning al
ready swelling from thousands Of stricken
hearts and houscholds--,hat we can still
recognize manifold causes of gratitude and
acknowledge His kindly providence, and
confidently place our trust in His bar d TO
control this storm for the Nations good
may entitle us to the renewed favor of Him
who docth all things well
To this end, |, Samuel j kirkwood,
Governor Of the State of Iowa, do hereby
appoint Thursday, the 18th dsy Of No
yeinber next, as day Of Thanksgiving;
and | earnestly recommend the people Of
the State to abstain ON that day from their
