Proclamation by the Governor.
State OF Wisconsin,.
EDWARD sALoMON, Governor.
PROCLAMATION.

The people Of Wisconsin have much
reason to be thankful to God for the many favors
and blessings they have enjoyed during the past
year. While the calamites and dangers of war
have visited so many of our sister States, we have
been permitted to enjoy peace and prosperity with
in the borders of State; the earth has been
bountiful in it's productions to US, and our
harvest plentiful; commerce, manufac cures,
and all the arts and vocations of peace have
fourished with unusual prosperity. And all
of this has been vouchsafed to while the
nation has been, and is, in fierce and
bloody contest for its life and ntegrty,-a contest
in which the brave and noble of Wisconsin
have shown unsurpassed endurance, heroism and
devotion to our country's sacred cause upon
many battle-felds and, thus bravely acting their
part in the suppression of the rebellion,
and assisting in driving the enemy from
his strongholds, have conferred honor and
nown upon themselves and our beloved State.
Thanks to God who gave them such loyal and
stout hearts and strong arms Thanks to Him for
the success that has accompanied our army within
the past year, bringing nearer to US constantly
permanent national peace, unity and happiness.
Now, therefore, in compliance with time honored
CUSTOM and conforming to recent proclamation
day OF National Thanksgiving, 1, EDWARD SALoMoN,
Governor of the State Of Wisconsin,, do hereby
appoint
Thursday, Goth day OF November, 1868,
day of Thanksgiving and Rest, and req uest the
people of the State of Wisconsin that, laying aside
all their secular pursuits, they repair on that day
to their accustomed places of worship, there to
offer their gratitude to God for the blessings and
favors have been permitted to enjoy during the
past year. And in that gratitude let us not omit
to remember the many noble and departed heroes
who have laid their lives upon the altar of our
common country, to save it from destruction and
ruin their weeping Widows orphans, relatives
and friends nor those who have sacrificed health
and limbs in this great national struggle nor those
who yet so bravely stand around the flag Of the
Union.
Let us remember them and those that are dear
to them. Let comfort and assist them in their
affection and tier struggles.
In offering our Thanks, let them be mingled
with Prayers for speedy and permanent restora-
ton of peace, unity and happiness to our distracted
country.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto subscribed
my name and caused the Great Seal of the
State of Wisconsin to be affixed. Done at
Il. S. Madison, the twelfth day of October in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-three.

A Rebel Letter-A Glance Behind the Curtain.

The following interesting letter was found
upon the body of Rebel soldier at Kappa
hammock Station. The names are suppressed:
Your BIRTHDAY, Sept q, 1868.
Ny DEAR Son Robert has got we'll and
he is all the time talking about you. He is
brisk boy, and wants to know why you can't
be taken prisoner and come home on parole
like . There is not day that some
deserters don't pass by going home. We
have plenty in our neighbOrhood that have
come home and will not go back to the army.
A great many have gone to Vicksburg and
claimed protection. The State has gone I'M
der, and the negroes have all left and gone
over to the Yankees My son, it seems hard
that you all have to stay there and fight for
the rich mans property, when they will not
themselves fight for it. There are some rich
men who are gentlemen, and go in with their
all. But where you find one who does this,
you find ten who do not. These men are
dead weight to the Confederacy. We have
got men here robbing and doing more damage
than the Yankees would have done. They
are making more Union men than Lincoln
ever could make. 1t is beyond description.
We cannot believe all we see in the newspa-
pers, but what | see with my own eyes l can
believe | have made good crop Of corn
and some cotton, and if they burn it, l shall
most assuredly go to the Yankees and claim
protection, and | know | am as good a South
ern Rights man as anybody.
The rich population have run into Texas
leaving the poor people to do as best they
can-burning up their cotton, and talk Of
burning up all the houses. This will make
war among US at home. My son, France and
England will divide the United States In
Winn Parish there are six hundred men who
will not turn out--that is, with the deserters
They are doing something in the Union way
They trying to get them to go back
threatening to burn their houses; but the
Yankees are so near at hand that it keeps our
army here busy to keep out of their way.
The Yankees are marching on Texas at five
different points. They will have fine picking
there. Our people will return back to Louis
lana stripped Of all they had. These men
who have lost their property want to see
peace on any terms. These are the men who
are hurting the Confederacy by their infu-
ence. The Yankees expect that France and
Mexico are going TO do something for the
South. They are turning their guns down the
river at Vicksburg, Natchez, Ellis Cliffs,-25
miles below Natchez, and at Port Hudson
If France had come to our assistance when
we held Vicksburg, it would have done some
good. But it is too late now Our men are
too much divided, and too many have gone
back to the Union. The war was got up
drunk, but they will have to settle it sober
There are a great many men in the South
who are to be pitied. Ny son, must come
to close. Hoping may see you shortly,
Your affectionate father,
?. S. Do not forget your duty to your God.

THE RETREAT.
BY HENRY VAUGHAN.

Happy those early days, when
Shin ed in my angell-intancy
Before | understood this place
Appointed for my second race,
Or taught my soul to fancy aught
But white CELESTIAL thought
When vet had not walked above
A mile or two from my first love,
And looking back, at that short space,
Could see glimpse of his bright face
When on some gilded cloud or fiowre
NY gazing soul would dwell an houre,
And in those weaker glories spy
Some shadows of eternity
Before / taught my tongue to wound
NY con science with a SINFUL sound,
Or had the black art to dispence
A sev'ral SHINE to ev'ry sence,
But felt through all this tieshy dresse
Bright shootes of eyerlastingness,
@, how l long to travel back;
And tread again that ancient track
That | might once more reach that PLANE,
Where first left my glorious traine
From whence tn Enlightened spirit sees
That shady city of palm trees.
But all F.! my soul with too much stay
Is drunk and staggers in the way
Some men a forward otion love,
But by backward steps would move;
And when this dust falls to the urn,
In that state L came, return.
