We also hear it said that he is subject

taken to Dr.. Trower's, that gentleman
with whom the prisoner had lived in

Thanksgiving.

The Governor has appointed Thurs.
day OF next week, the eth inst. as a
day of Thanksgiving. and we hope ii
will be observed throughout tbs State.
We believe the same day has been
named by the Governors Of all the 10y.
al States, so that the whole nation will
return thanks on one day 10 the great
Giver of all good things for his bounii-
full providence. Every church in the
land should be crowded on that day for
Divine worship. and from every house
and every heart. thsnksgivings and
prayer should ascend to the God of all
our mercies.
We presume there will be services At
the n. E. Church in this place, altho'
We are not as yet advised of the fact.
And while We ars thankful for the
blessings We enjoy. it would be well for
US to remember tie soldiers who are
fighting the battles of the country. and
endeavor to lay by something for their
comfort, 10 be forwarded to them.

Fate of the second Regiment

The career of the Second Wisconsin
Regiment is practically ended. All that
remains of the eleven hundred who left
Wisconsin little more than twelve
months ago, are fifty-nine war-worn and
battle-grimed men. Almost every blood
stained field of Maryland and Virginia
is enriched by the bones of the dead from
that noble regiment. There were ten
oyerfiowing companies when the resi-
ment left the state. Every fight took
away some of them from the ranks
The hospital did its share in the fatal
work. Nobly the brave boys bore their
misfortuues, beholding their ranks grow
thin, aud burying their comrades be-
meath their feet as they passed, without a
murmur. They were at Bull Run at the
first disaster. Afterwards they were
with Mcdowell many months in Virgin
in. Then they were at Bull Run again,
passing through all the principal battles
af Pope's retreat toward Washington
Then Mcclellan took them with him in
to Maryland to drive the enemy from
there. They were the foremost in every
battle fought-tbe brasest among the
brave of " Gibbons Irou Brigade" On
the morning Of the 10th they mustered
about one hundred and fifty men. That
was Ill. But there was one battle more
to fcbt, and they were not the soldiers
to finch from duty. The fighting they
lid that day alone would have covered
the regiment with imperishable glory,
even had that been its first aud last ex
plot, and the regiment full. Night came
the roll was caIled-and ffty-nine
and fity-nine only, we are told, were left
TO answer to their names. Fourteen o
the one hundred and fifty had been killed
and sixty-three wounded, and some were
missing. Wisconsin owes q monument
to its dead regiment, and imperiShablt
gratitude and honor 10 the few Of it:
