k9~ We publish on the second page of
to-day's paper call for Convention to
be held at Des Moines, commencing Oh
ednesday, the 18TH inst. The call is
signed by large number of ladies, and
approved by the leading men Of our State
and a number of our most respectable
citizens. The Convention is for the pur.
pose of perfecting the Sanitary Com
mission in this State, and devising means
to secure harmony between the various
organizations which labor for the benefit
of our sick and wounded soldiers, both
in the field and hospitals, and to consider
whether the efficiency of our Aid Soeie
ties might not be increased and their con-
tributions greatly enlarged.
We heartily endorse this call, and be-
lieve that the Convention will be the
means of providing for the comfort OF
our soldiers during the coming winter.
A number Of railroad companies and
steamboats, have generously agreed to car
ry delegates at half fare, and they will
be entertained during the session of the
Convention by the citizens of Des Moines
free of charge. 1t is hoped that each or
ganization in the State which has made
regular contributions for the welfare OF
the soldiers, will be represented, and dc
all in their power for the furtherance o.
so good cause, which meets with a
hearty approval from all who have the
welfare of our country and her soldiers
at heart.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

we publish to-day the Governors pro-
clamation, appointing Thursday, the 26th
day OF November. as day of thanksgiving
and prayer, 10 accordance wi tn the pro-
clamation of the Preside mt.
The mention of thanksgiving" will
suggest to the minds of many readers a
holiday of unalloyed merriment like those
We were accustomed to keep in less dis
tracted and more prosperous times, and a
feeling of involuntary sadness will per.
wade the hearts of the sympathetic as they
recall the almost countless bereavements
of the past year and remember the many
homes which the unjust and sanguinary
war has rendered dark and lonely. But
however numerous may be our public
misfortunes, or our private griefs, the
great heart Of the loyal States have proved
their iniinchiag devotion to patriotic du-
ty, which should strengthen our assurance
OF ultimate success in the great war in
which we are engaged and in which we
must expect inevitable discourage
and disappointmeuts. The people every
where feel that no great wrong can ever
remain permanent. Centuries of human
degradation never quench the least spark
of human hope. The world is never
weary Of struggling toward its clamored
social idea More than all this, we shall
also feel with hearts full Of gratitude that
in spite of occasional defeats in this great
struggle our massive msjorities shrink
from any ignobe conclusion in this con-
test. Those who think that We cannot
conquer in this contest are 10 a meagre
minority, and are decreasing rapidly ey-
cry day as the elections in Iowa, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio show, and are certain to
disappear with our conclusive triumphs
The great mass Of the people have not re.
ceded one inch from where they stood
when the rebellion first lifted its head -
There are mobs, but they are easily sup.
pressed. There are newspapers which
wage petty war against the Government,
bat their converts are few in number, and
both they and the paper which they sus.
tain are in bad repute, their converts are
few and poor in character. The great
Federal Union is a.great Federal Union
still Every loyal State yet retains its
local government undisturbed in the least
important of its details. We are still per-
.4i,tsd to raap tho advantages of COM
pact which has only been shaken and
which is now demonstrating in this
struggle, its inherent and exhaustless
vigor.
We have then Sufficient cause for
thanksgiving. Ii we are thankful that
We lave not failed in the pas., let US only
be more emulous of success in the future.
This nation carries its destiny in its
own right hand, and only by fidelity to
its own solemnly registered creed can it
hope to win the smiles of that Providence
which helps those who help themselves.

THANKSGIVING.
Proclamation by the Governor Of low

In accordance with the Proclamation Of
the President of the United States. and
time honored usage, /. SAMUEL ]. KIRK
WOOD, Governor of the State of Iowa, do
hereby appoint Thursday, the 26M 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 victo.
ries of our arms over the foes of civil and
religious liberty.
Let us thank Him for the heroism, for
titude and enduring patriotism of our
people, as shown by our soldiers in the
field, and by our people at home, in their
unshaken determination to preserve the
glorious institutions of our fathers unim-
paired, for themselves aud 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 sheddin, of
human blood.
Let thank Him for the general health
and prosperity Of our people. while we
remember with earnest prayer and liberal
hand the widow and the fa,herless, VIC
tins of this cruel and wicked war.
Let US repent of our manifold sins as
people, for which we are now experience
ing His chastisements, and humbly i'm
plore His gracious spirit to turn US there
from, and His psrdoning grace for that
which is past, that we may cease our
naughty pride in our greatness aud pros
perlty, and may recognise Hin as the
author of "every good and perfect gift"
that we may cease to oppress the "poor
and him that hath none to help" tha,
we may remember that righteousness ex-
alteth nation, but sin is re2roach to
any people," and that peace may again
soon prevail in all the borders Of our once
happy land

Mean Specimen OF the Genus Homo.
Yesterday lady came into Thompson
& Co.'s Bank and presented counterfeit
bill, asking whether it was genuine or not.
She stated that she had just returned
from the northern part of the State, with
er she had been after the body Of her
child, and on her way home had been
robbed of between sixty and seventy dol
lars, which was all the money she had
except little change and her ticket to
keokuk. After her arrival here she went
to secondhand store and offered her
cloak, worth twenty dollars, for sale. A
man, who was purchasing some articles,
offered her ten dollars for it, and paid
her with this counterfeit bill. After be
had purchased what he wanted he said
that he would leave bis bundle until be
returned from Warsaw, but soon came
back saying that be would take the cloak
with him, as there might be some Difficult
ty about it. From all the circumstances
it appears that he intended to cheat the
woman out of her cloak. A man who is
SO little and mean, and who would thus
steal from poor unprotected woman, has
a soul too small 10 be seen with a micro
scope. and would steal coppers from
dead nigger's eyes.

During the last visit of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. j. Florence to Europe, Mr.. F..
discovered in pawnbroker's shop gift
gold watch that had been stolen from his
wife at Cincinnati in 1858. The inscrip-
ton on the side of the case had been par
TALLY scraped off, but it was still legible
on close scrutiny. Florence says that
when he first made the discovery he felt
very much as if somebody had given him
rap with shillelah Chris. Hogan,
the Liverpool detective, says that nearly
all the watches stolen in this country are
sent across the water, and the watches
stolen in Europe are exported in great
haste to America. The history of Mrs.
Florence's time piece would seem to favor

THANKSGIVING.

MR. EDIroR:-The day appointed by
the President for thanksgiving and prayer,
is drawing near. 1t is, taking the CIR
cumstances into consideration, the most
important day of the kind the nation has
known. In the midst of war our success
in the field and at home is subject Of
devout thanksgiving.
Now, sir, let movement be COM
menced in time, not later than next week
by which all our stores and business
houses shall be closed ali day ON that day.
If the thing is commenced in time, and
the names of ali houses so agreeing pub
ished few days in the Gate City, our
country people will not come in to trade,
and our city people will do their trading
on the previous day. Our merchants
and traders will thus have chance to en-
JOY themselves, and the example will be
a good one. LOYAL.

few days ago in regard to the remarkable
longevity of a number of persons, who
were scholars in the school of the Rev.
Mr. Goss, of Bullittsburg, Boone county.

that there are now living seuen children
OF the Rev. Ambrose Dudley, deceased,
who removed from Culpepper county,
Virginia, to Fayette county. Kentucky,
about the year 1896, whose ages are as
follows James, Sc; Jeptha, S4; Polly,

The Dubuque Herald, Muscatine
Courier, Burlington Argus, Iowa City
Press, Council Bluffs Bugle, Fairfield
Constitution, and Ottumwa Courier, hold
since the election that the Democratic
Platform adopted at the State Convention
was Peace Platform, and that it was in-
consistent and rascally for the Committee
to put a Brigadier General on such a
Platform. We said as much before the
election, and the people gave their en-
phatic verdict to the same purport at the
Polls; still it is well enough that these
rogues should make their dying confession,
seeing as they can no longer profit by con-
cealing their attempted fraud on the peo-
pie.

Tho reported msjorties in this State
for VIM. M. STONE, Union candidate, over
his opponent, JAMES NJ. TurrLE, for Gov
ernor on the Home Vote, amount to
l6, 700 votes. The few small counties to
be heard from will not affect these figures
fifty votes either way. Sixteen thousand
seven hundred Union majority on the
Home Vote in Iowa sounds well. 1t
looks well in print, too, and it looks frst
rate in figures that wont lie, they say

the Army majority, more than half as

Sidewalks Again.

We wish that we could write articles
enough on this subject TO make our cit-
zens ashamed of themselves, and SO much
SO that they would not dare to show their
far faces on our streets until this matter
is attended to. Better have no sidewalks
at all than such as We have in some parts
of our streets. They arc disgrace to our
city, and have become SO dilspidated
as TO endanger the necks and limbs of pe-
destriaps. If we would, we could name
many localities where the walks are most
abominable,-in fact dangerous, but We
will name bat one, being more interested
in that tnan any other in the city; it is
at IL G corner Of Main and Second streets,
opposite our Office. The brick on this
walk are mostly torn up and lay scatter
ed about, and 1t is not very hard feat
to accomplish to strike ones toes against
a pile OF bricks and measure his length.
This we can testify tour knowledge
being the result Of both experience and
observation. 1t is now getting to be the
time of year when sidewalks are needed,
if they ever are, and it is time they were
attended to. For humanity's sake let
this not be neglected any longer, lest we
have to write articles for broken necks
which would not be very pleasant sub.
lect for local.

ers as something new, especially as items
yesterday were somewhat meagre. We
inquired of all our numerous Wholesale
and retail dealers in local events and
found the supply unusually deficient
both in quality and quantity. The Cop

A CLERGYMAN HUNG.-The Chicago
Tribune's correspondent with the Army
of the Cumberland writes: "Rev. Mr..
Bussey, of the Christian Commission,
was upon the field during the late bat
ties, and materially aided in caring for
the wounded. He was unfortunately ta-
ken prisoner when our forces Withdrew
from the field, and fell into the hands of
Judge Terry, Of California, who holds a
position of some importance in the rebel
army. Judge Terry is the man who shot
Senator Broderick several years ago.
With brutal oath the murderer exclaisn-
ed, Here's - Abolition preacher
Boys, hang him = Mr.. Bussey's name
does not appear in the list Of prisoners
sent in by Bragg to the Provost Marshal.
and It is feared the Judge has carried his
brutal threat into effect"
EA good anecdote is told Of one of
the Connecticut boys. While in conyer-
sation with rebel after the capture of
Fort Pulaski, the latter said ''At least,
with all our faults, We have never made
wooden nutmegs." The Yankee, very
demure looking specimen, innoccnty re-
piled: 1--WE do not make them Of wood
any longer" and pointing to one of the
big projectiles lying near, which had
breached the fort, added quietly, eve
make them now Of iron!"
