EN-. SULLY'S EXPEDITIDN-IT
WHEREABOUTS.

Gen. Siblcy's Expedition reached the
Missouri, 1G0 miles above Fort Pierl e,
July Goth. by the following oorrespon-
dence Ct the Dubuque Times of the 10Th
inst, We have the whereabouts and pros
poets Of Sully's Expedition on the 30th
Of July-one day after Gen. Siblcy reach
ed the river:
CAMP ON NORTH BANK Missouri RlvER.\
Near Fl. Pierre, Dacotah Territory
headq'r's 9th Iowa Cav, July 80, 1868.
All that can learn with regard TO our flu
ture movements, is that as soon rs the bal
ance Of our supplies come up, for which
three light draft steamboats, and train of
thirty wagons have been dispatched, the ex-
petition will start towards Devils Lake, but
from the lateness Of the season, will not prob
ably be able to get further than Painted Woods,
where Little Crow wintered last winter.
Then, as it IS reported, We return to Sioux
City, sojourn there three weeks, and thence
across the State to Dubuque, en- route for Dixie
The latter is camp rumor, though generally be-
lieved and confidently expressed by nearly all
the officers.
Had Gen. Sully been earlier placed in COM
mand of this division Of Gen. pope's depart
ment believe the record of this expedition
would have been such that none need to have
been ashamed.
This expedition has heen badly managed
from the first, and with Gen. Sully's ability
and eminent fitness from long familiarity with
the Indian country and Indian character, it
will be impossible to redeem the time FILTERED
away by his predecessor, to whom the failure
Of the expedition may be attributed.

The Raleigh Standard is in favor of re-
construction of the Union, and thinks the
probable terms of Reconstruction between the
North and South will be the adoption of a
gradual emancipation system by all the
rebellious States, which North Carolina, in
common with the other slave States, will
accept, if the Federal Government insists on
the same, as the only terms that can be
granted, notwithstanding the life of the in
stitution is not in the least impaired by the
war, as is generally believed at the North.
Nothing but a great standing army be-
tween the masters and slaves could impair
the institution, over which is thrown the
shield of State and municipal laws, together
with the inherent will of the Southern peo-
pie; hence these terms are the cheapest the
Government can offer, and the best the
South can accept 5ie LrUW

+ RESTORATION OF THE UNIoN.-Reader DO
you believe that the Union will be restored
under this Administration? If you do, tell
US why Mr.. Lincoln refused to receive
Louisiana back into the Union when her
representatives asked to come back with
her present Constitution. His reply was,
mot yet-her Constitution will be amend
ed"-in other words a new Constitution
will be formed by which slaves will be ex-
cluded-when that is done, then we will
consent that she may return.
We were we'll aware that when a State
desired to return, the cloven foot of Adolf
tonism would appear. No sooner had, Mr..
Lincoln refused to let Louisiana return to
the Union the abolition journals set up a
a demoniac yell all over the North, in the
lead of which was the Infamous Leader of
Cleveland, who boldly and de6antly tells
the army and Union loving men every
where, that tie emancipation Proclamation of
Mr.. Lincoln shall first be put in efsctuaI opsr-
alton before any State shall be suffered to re-
turn to its GHegiance-that the war shall 90
on-that new armies shall be raised to ex-
ecute the emancipation proclamation, not
only by setting the negroes free, but fight
ing to keep them so. Such spapers as the
Leader, shave been the loudest in their
pretensions of unconditional support of tho
Uuion and the measures of the Administra-
ton to accomplish its restoration; but when
State proposes to return, they raise a con-
dition of emancipation. Let it then be
written down, SO that any aboltionist may
deny it if he chooses, that Mr.. Lincoln re-
fuses to let State return to the Union,
without emancipation - that the party
which supports him, defantly tells the peo-
pie that emancipation is a condition precedent
to restoration, and then go the people aud
the ballot box. |H..I liz

A PROCLAMATION.

It has pleased Almighty God to hesrken
to the supplications and prayers of an aflict-
ed people, and to vouchsafe to the Army and
Navy of the United States victories on land
and on the sea so signal and so effective as
| to furnish reasonable ground for augm ented
confidence that the Union of these States
I will be maintained, their Constitution pre-
served, and their peace and prosperity per.
maneatly restored. But these victories have
been accorded not without sacrifices of life,
/ lin b, health, and liberty, incurred by brave,
loyal and patriotic citizens. Domestic af-
Fiction in every part of the country follows
in the train, of these fearful bereavements.
It is meet and right to recognize and confess
the presence of the Almighty Father and
the power of His Hand equally in these tri-
umphs and in these sorrows.
Now, til erefore, be it known that l do set
apart Thursday. the 9th day Of August next,
to be observed as day of National Thanks
giving, Praise, and Prayer, and invite the
People of the United States to assemble on
that occasion in their customary places o +
worship, and, in the forms approved by
their own consciences,. render the homage
due to the Divine Majesty for the wonder
full things he has done in the Nations be-
hall, and invoke the Influence of HIS Holy
Spirit to subdue the anger which has pro-
duced and so long sustained needless and
cruel rebellion. to change the hearts of the
insurgents, to guide the counsels ofthe Gov
eminent with wisdom adequate SO great a
national emergency, and to visit with tender
care and consolation throughout the length
and breadth of our land all those who,
through the vicissitudes Of marches, voyages,
battles and sieges, have been brought to suf-
fer in mind, body or estate aud finally to
lead the whole nation, through the paths of
repen lance and submission to the Divine
Will, back to perfect enjoyment of union
