forces there, which cannot be over six thou'and

4 PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, 1t Is a good thing to render
thanks unto God, for all His mercy and
loving kindness; therefore,
I, Andrew e. Curtin, Governor Of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do re
commond that THURSDAY, the 9th
day of November next, be set apart by
the people of this Commonwealth as a
day Of solemn Prayer and Thanksgiving
to the Misunderstanding Him humble
thanks that He has been gracously pleased
to protect our free institutions and Gov
erumcnt, and to keep US from sickness
aud peStilence-and to cause the earth to
cause the earth to bring forth her increase,
so that our gamers are choked with the
harvest--aud to look so favorably ly on the
toll OF His children, that industry has
thriver among Us and labor las its re-
ward and also that he has delivered us
from the hands Of our enemies, and flied
our officers and men in the field with a
loyal aud intrepid spirit, and given them
victory-and that He has poured out up.
on US (albcit unworthy) other great and
manifold blessings.
Beseeching Him to help and govern US
in His s,eadfast fear and love, and to rut
iuto our minds good desires, SO that by
His continual help we NAV have IA right
judgment in all things and especially
praying Him to give to Christian churches
grace to hate the thing which is evil, and
to utter the teachings Of truth and right
eousness, declaring openly the whole
counsel Of God and most heartily en-
treating Him to bestow upon our civil
rulers wisdom aud earnestncss in council,
and upon our military leaders zeal and
vigor in action, thar the fires of rebellion
may be quenched-that we, being armed
with His defence, may be preserved FROM
all perils, aud that hereafter our people
living in peace and quietness, may, from
generation to generation, reap the abund-
ant fruits of His mercy, and with Joy and
thankfulness praise and magnify His holy
name.
Given under my hand and the geat seal Of the
State, at Harrisburg this twentieth day OF
October, in the year Of our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and sixty-two, and OF
the Commonwealth the eighty-seventh.
