GENERAL SICKLEs Gen. Sickles, his
friends will be gratihed to learn, is doing
we'll. After receiving his wound and un-
dergoing anputation be was conveyed to
Washington By crooked reut, to avoid the
enemy. AT one house in Pennsylvania
the wounded man was obliged to pay FIVE
dollars for u nights stay. After his arrival
at Washington he showed symptoms OF
exhaustion, which gave rise to apprehen-
sion message was sent to Mrs. Sickles
to repair thither, which has since been
countermandeS. Gen. Hooker paid him
visit, and he was admitted; the two
graped each others hands, neither of them
saying a word. Tears rolled down the
cheeks of the iron-hearted veteran, and
he turned away. Messrs. Lincoln and
Hamlin also called, as is generally known.
According to present indications it will
not be many months before General Sick
fes will again be in the saddle. His sur.
geon has declined profered assistance
because of the improved condition of the
patient, and application has been made
for Palmer's patent leg, to replace. as
early as can be permitted, the limb lost
at Gettysburg.

WASHINGTON. July Is.
BIZ the President Of the United States
America
A PROCLAMATION.

1t has pleased Almighty God to heark-
en- to the supplications and prayers of an
afflicted people, and to vouchsafe to the
Army and the Navy of the United States
victories on land and on the sea, SO signal
and so effective as to furnish reasonable
grounds for augmented confidence that
the Union Of these States will DC sustain
ed, their Constitution preserved, and their
peace and prosperity permanently re.
stored.
But these victories have been accorded
not without sacrifices of life, limb, health,
aud liberty, incurred by brave, loyal, and
patriotic citizeus. Domestic Affections in
every part of the country follow in the
train of these fearful bereavements. 1t
is meet and right to recognize and con-
fess the presence of the Almighty Father,
and the power of His hand equally in
these triumph. and these sorrows.
Now, therefore, be 1t knoacn, That | dc
set apart Thursday, the 9th day of Au.
gust uext, to be observed as day of ma.
tienal thanksgiving, praise and prayer,
and | invite the people Of the United
States to assemble on that occasion in
their customary places of worship, and IN
the forms approved by their oWn con
science, and render the homage due tC
the Divine Majesty for the wonderful
things He has done in the nations be-
half, and invoke the Influence OF His Holy
Spirit to subdue the anger which has pro
duced and so long sustained needles:
and cruel rebellion to change the heart:
of the insurgents to guide the counsel'
of the Government with wisdom adequate
to so great national emergency, and tt
visit with tender care and consolation
throughout the length aad breadth of oul
land all those who through the vicissi
tudes of marches, voyages, battles anc
sieges, have been brought to suffer II
mind, body or estate, and finally to leac
the whole nation, through :he paths o
repentance and submission to the Divine
will, back to the perfect enjoyment o.
Union and fraternal peace.
In witness whereof, | have hereunte

United States to be affixed

General Grant I'm Action.

You cannot read in Gen Grants ccun-
tenance how battle is going Whether
the enemy is driving him, or he driving
the enemy, he wears the same placid fes-
lures, neither smile nor frown. You
look in vain for hope, fear or anxiety de-
picted on facial expression. But there is
one key BY which some idea may be
forued as TO how he feels while the strug-
gle progresses.
"'Fhe General is, in fact, addicted To
the 'use of the weed to moderate ex-
tent but, on the battlefield no INDUCES
more than usual. The more desperate
the battle, the more extravagant his use
of Cubas and Principles. When his men
are pushing forward, and the enemy CIV
ing way, the blue smoke ascends at reg
ular intervals IN small and scarcely per-
ceptible curls. When the ground is being
contested, bis face is lost in Cuban ex-
halations. When there is a prospect that
the day will 90 against him, he ceases to
smoke, and commences to punish his in
nocent exotic By vigorously biting the
end of it. When he rides along the line
without cigar, there is no enemy in
front except a small body of cavalry, and
he knows it,
General Sherman is an inveterate
smoker on the battle field also. When
he was wounded at Shiloh, be wrapped
bis pocket handkerchief round his head,
lit cigar, and became more earnest
than ever.

A Rebel Mil.ionafre Begging.

The ravages of war are well illustrated
By the case of Southern man living in
the neighborhood of Snyder's Bluffs, who
lately applied BY letter to General Wash
burn for Subsistence for himself and fam
lily This man was lately the owner Of
seven large and well stocked plantations,
and was estimated to be worth $4,000, 900.
He was in Europe when the war broke
out, and did not reach America again
until after the occupation of New Orleans
by Ge1 Butler Slipping through New
Orleans by some means, he came up TO a
6ne plantation in this neighborhood, and
was found here by our army. He bad
used his priucely fortune lavishly in at
tempts to forward the Secession cause
Tc day he is reduced TO the necessity of
depending upon the United States mill
targ au' horities for the necessaries of life
Think of a Southern millionaire, the
owner of thousands of slaves, of fine
house and establishment in New Orleans,
of beautiful summer residence in Ken
lucky, of seven plantations in Mississippi,
Louisiana. and Arkansas, and an educa-
ted, travelled, chiralrous gentleman, of
course, going daily to an enemy's CON-
missary of subsistence for rations.
