A PROCLAMATION.
By the President of the United states
Of America,


1t has pleased Almighty God to
hearken to the supplications and
prayers of an afflicted people, and to
vouchsafe to the army and navy OF
the United States on the land and on
the sea victories so signal and so ef-
iecIive as to furnish reasonable
ground for augmented confidence
that the Union of these States Will
be maintained, their Constitution
preserved, and their peace and pros
perity permanently preserved; put
these victories have been accorded
not without sacrifice Of life, health,
limb, and liberty, incurred by brave,
patriotic. and loyal citizens. DO
nestle afflction in every part OF the
country follows in the train OF these
fearful bereavemeuts. 1t is meet and
right to recognize and confess the
presence of the Almighty Father,
and the power of His hand equally
in these triumphs and these sorrows,
Now, therefore. be it known, that
I do set apart Thursday, the sixth
dav of August next. to be observed
as day for national thanksgiving
praise, AID prayer, and invite the
people of the United States TO assem-
die on that occasion in the customary
places OF worship, aud in the forms
approved by their own conscience
render the homage due to the Divine
Majesty for the wonderful things he
has done in the nation S behalf, and
invoke the influence Of His holy
spirit to snbdue the anger which has
produced and so long sustained a
needless and cruel rebellion to
change the hearts Of the Insurgents ;
20 guide the connSels q! the govern
ment with wisdom adequate to so
great a national emergency and to
visit with tender care and consolation
throughout the length and breadth
Of our land, ali those who, through
the vicissitudes OF marches, voyages,
battles. and sieges, have been bro
to suffer in mind. body, or estate,
and finally to lead tine whole nation
through paths Of repentance, and
Submission to the Divine will, to the
perfect enjoyment oi union and fra
ternal peace.
In witness whereof | have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

The capture Of Chattanooga by
Gen. Rosecrans is a matter which
has attracted very little attention );
yet it is almost as important an an
nouncement as the surrender of
Vicksburg. The latter gave us the
Mississippi, but Chattanooga is the
key to the whole internal railway
system of the South. East Tennes-
see now becomes ours as matter OF
course, and the mountain region
which splits the South like a wedge,
passes naturally into our control
Chattanooga, in its way, means as
much as Nicksburg.- World.
