We are apt to be free with our iokesupor
Doctors and their drugs, until sick and in
need of their aid, then all alike bow to
the necessity of recourse to their hard
earned and often ill-requited skill. The
prevailing belief that physicians frown
upon whatever deviates from their peculiar
system and usages, arises from the fact that
their better information leads them soonest
to detect and discard the medical decisions
and impositions that are thrust upon the
community. That they are ready and
prompt to adopt any really valuable in
vention is seen by the treatment Doct. J..
G. Ayre's Chemical Remedies have re-
ceived at their hands. They appreciate the
value of these medicines because they
know their composition, and where is the
man who ever heard respectable physi-
clan either disparage them or discourage
their use? No profession or pursuit has
done more for the human family than the
medical profession. None is followed by
nobler men or for nobler ends; nor is there
one which better deserves the best thanks
of mankind.-Ca'aon IN. " Democrat.

BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, p. II.
The weather during most of the week has been
very unpleasant, with considerable rain. Coun.
try roads are in very bad condition, consequent.
ly but little produce is arriving. The grain
market here is but little changed. Millers conl

We are unable to obtain the figures of the num-
Der received by the B. &. M. r. r. r. this week,
but judging from what we have seen in the
street, it must be in excess of last year. The
great scarcity OF corn in the country will cause
the hogs to be sent to market earlier than usual,
and the packing season will doubtless be over by
the LIST of January. Safes for the week have
been within the following range of prices

it cleared up as mild as a shower in May,

a November day in Iowa as any one would
wish to experience. IF such mild weather
continues it will be delightful. Fit don't,

That, at all events, is a good lesson.

Proclamation by the Governor of
lOHA.

In accordance with the Proclamation of
the President of the United States, and
time honored usage, I, SAMUEL j. KIRK
WOOD, Governor of the State of Iowa, do
hereby appoint THuRsDAY, the Goth inst,
as Day of Thanksgiving, Prayer and
Praise to Almighty God, for His manifold
mercies to us as people, during the year
that is past.
Let us thank Him for the great victories
of our arms over the foes Of civil and reli-
gious liberty.
Let us thank Him for the heroism, for
titude and enduring patriotism OF our peo-
pie, as shown by our soldiers in tie field,
and by our people at home, in their un-
shaken determination to preserve the glo-
rious institutions of our fathers unimpair-
ed. for themselves and their children after
them.
Let US thank Him that our domestic
peace has been unbroken, and the first
budding of internal violence has been
quickly crushed, without the shedding of
human blood.
Let us thank Him for the general health
and prosperity of the people, while we re-
member with earnest prayer and liberal
hand the widow and the fatherless, vic
tins of this cruel and wicked war.
Let US repent of our manifold sins as a
people, for which we are now experiencing
His chastisements, and humbly implore
his gracious spirit to turn us 1heretrom,
and his His pardoning grace for that which
is past, that we klay cease our naughty
pride in our greatness and prosperity, and
may recognize him as the author of ''every
good and perfect gift that we may cease
to Cypress the poor and him that hath
none TO heip, that we may remember that
righteousness exalteth a nation. hut sin
is reproach to any people, and that
peace may again soon prevail in all the
borders OF our once happy land.

On Tuesday the 80th, there was some skirmshing;

THE BATTLE. .' 10.
NASHVILLE Jan. Q. lse2-The federals encountered
the rebels on the 30th ult Stewards creek After
heavy diminishing the rebels were driven back. we
captured one hundred prisoners and killed and wounded
large number of rebels. Our loss was seventy killed
and wounded. .
Al daybreak on the S1st the fight was renewed with
great fury Gen. McCook's corps was opposed to Cen
Hardee.
Alter desperate fighting, with heavy loss on both
sides, Gen McCook retreated two miles. He soon raj
Eed and was driven back. At night he was four miles
this side of the ground occupied in the morning.
The eight continued until 10 o'clock, p. NJ at which
time we had maintained our position.
The Union loss is very heavy.
After giving long list Of killed and wounded officers
and the various kilograms published yesterday, the
Yankee correspondent says the total of their killed and
wounded will not exceed twenty-five hundred, which is
certainly gross falsehood.
Washington correspondent of the Herald writes:-
For some time past the opinion has been expressed by
the highest military authorities here that the decisive
battles of the winters campaign were to be fought IN
the Southwest The battle of Murfreesboro was, there
FORE no surprise. Expressions have been uttered by
those in authority showing that they are not entirely
satisfied with the result of the battle decisive, even
we're we to recover the uninterrupted navigation OF the
Mississippi river 1t would be necessary to defeat and
utterly rout the grand armies Of the rebels before we
would be able to claim any decisive victory
