GoYernor salomon'a Proclamation.

The people of Wisconsin have much reas on
to be thankful to God for the many faYors and
blessings they have enjoyed during the past
year. While the caiamltles and dangers of war
have visited so many of our sister States, We
have been permitted 10 enjoy peace and pros
perity within the borders of our State; the earth
has been bountiful in its productions to US, and
our harvest plentiful; commerce, manufactures
and all the arts and vocations of peace have
f1ourished with unusual prosperity. And al
of this has been vouchsafed TO US while the ma
ton has been, and is, in a fierce and bloody
contest for its life and integrity,--a contest In
which the brave and noble sons OF Wisconsin,
have shown unsurpassed endurance, heroism
and devotion 10 our country's sacred cause up
on SO many batte-6elds; and, thus brayely act
ing their part in the suppression of the rebel
lion. and assisting in driving the enemy from
his strongholds, have conferred honor and re-
nown upon themselves and our beloved State.
Thanks to God who gave them such loyal
and stout hearts and strong arms! Thanks 10
Him for the success that has accompanied our
army within the past year, bringing nearer to
us constantly permanent national peace; uni
ty and happiness
Now, therefore, in compliance with time
honered custom, and conforming TO a recent
proclamation OF the President of the United
States appointing day of National Thanks
StfIilRe Il, ESu di0 O0AoHioA'e 1919 no - tAA~
State Of Wisconsin, do hereby appoint Thurs
day, goth day of November, 1868, as day
of Thanksgiving and Rest, and request 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 we 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 il from destruction and ruin; nor 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 us comfort and assist them
in their affection and their struggles.
In Offering our thanks, LET them be mingled
with prayers for a speedy and permanent res
toration of peace, unity and happiness TO our
distracted country.
In testimony whereof, / have heieunto sub
scribed my ame and caused the Great
Seal of the State of Wisconsin to be af-
RI. S. ! fixed. Done at Madison, the twelfth
day oC October, in the year of our Lord

TCommun Gated n
Letter from Lieut.. R. Carter.

Mr.. EDToR.-From expressions thai
reached US through some of the leading
journals, we of the army were led to be-
ieve that Copperheadism was not only
tolerated 10 the north, even in the great
west, but that it was to some extent popu-
lar. Some weeks since | returned home
after an absence of nearly two years. Ex-
pecting to fiud some evidences of sympa.
thy with the rebellion my attention was
directed closely to the acts and words OF
persons | supposed traitors if any there
were. ] have been in several large gather
ings, State and County Fairs, political
meetings, &c, have attended sitting of
the Circuit Court and have heard but one
expression of sympathy with the rebels or
opposition to the acts of the Adminstra-
lion. That was in language so carefully
guarded that offense co lid not bs taken.
On the contrary the lisping Of children
breathe prayers for our success. think
there is less denonstratiye patriotism now
than at the outbreak of the war, less en-
thusiasm, but settled purpose seems to
underlie all actions that this war must be
prosecuted to successful terminate, u. 1t
seems to be part OF the common prayer
of all. Who can doubt the loyalty Of
our western dies after visiting the State
Fair at Dubuque, or thu County Fair at
Lanca tsr Nothing indicates more forcl-
bly, their intense interest than the anxiety
displayed TO hea, the latest news from our
armies. 1t seems almost unjust to specify
any particular person as more or less 10y
al Or disloyal. Respectfully yours,
