Ellerman's Philadelphia Clothing
House is one of the most popular insti-
tutions in our thriving little berg, it is
astonishing how rapidly it has gained
upon the public favor. Perhaps the
mystery of all this is that the energet-
ic and business-like proprietor believes
in and adheres to that too often sadly
neglected maxim of Poor Richards
" Honesty is the best policy" You
get your moneys worth when you
trade at Ellerman's. Anything you
want in the clothing line Ellerman has
from the coarsest suit to the finest
ready made, or custom made. Go
and look at his stock, for it is the place
to buy your Clothing, Hats, Caps, and
all those various articles which come
under the head of Gents Furnishing

Terrible Steamboat Disaster,

The steamer Sunnyside. loaded with
, cotton, from Memphis to Cairo, took
fire on the morning Of the 3lst inst,
at s O'Clock while on her way up. She
took fire from sparks coming from the
chimneys. The steamer Glasgow,
which passed the wreck after the oc.
currence, rendered much valuable aid,
and great credit is due to the passen-
gers and crew on her, for their kind
treatment of those who escaped from
n the burning wreck. There were
&c $50 bales of cotton on board. Thir-
. ty to forty lives were lost, the major
ity being women and children. A
Major having been wounded in the
shoulder, and having sister on
board, tried to save her by locking
bands with her and jumping over
board. She was drowned and he was
picked up insensible. He was ra-
wing maniac all night, from the effects
Of the exposure. The boat and cargo
are total loss. A great number cs-
capped with barely sufficient to cover
their nakedness.

BY THE GOVERNOR OF IOWA.
A PROCLAMATION.

In accordance with the Proclama-
ton of the President of the United
States, and time honored usage, 1.
Samuel j. Kirkwood, Governor Of the
State Of Iowa. do hereby appoint Thurs.
day, the 26th inst, as Day of
Thanksgiving, Prayer and Praise to
Almighty God, for His manifold mer-
cies to Us as people, during the
year that is past.
Let US thank Him for the great VIC
tories of our arms over the foes of
civil and religious liberty.
Let US thank Him for the heroism,
fortitude and enduring patriotism Of
our people, as shown by our soldiers
in the field, and by our people at home,
in their mistaken determination to
preserve the glorious institutions ofour
fathers unimpaired, for themselves and
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 shedding
of human blood.
Let us thank Him for the general
health and prosperity of our people,
while we remember with earnest pray
er and liberal hand the widow and the
fatherless, victims of this cruel and
wicked war.
Let US repent of our manifold sins
as a people, for which we are now ex.
perienciDg His chasetisements, and
humbly implore His gracious spirit to
turn us therefrom. and His pardoning
grace for that which is past, that we
may cease our naughty pride in our
greatness and prosperity. and may
recognize Him as the author of every
good and perfect gift I" that we may
cease to cypress the poor and him
that hath none to help" that we may
remember that righteousness exalt-
eth a nation, but sin is a reproach to
any people," and that peace may again
soon prevail in all the borders of our
once happy land. .-..---..-

remarkable degree of health is univer-
sally enjoyed by our people.
Let us be thankful and rejoice that
our armies of freedom have achieved
so many signal triumphs over the min

already the foe is in his last expiring
throes of agony and that, in all prob
ability, one more vigorous campaign
on the part of Freedoms army will
crush the slavery despotism forever.
In the language of the Presidents

mortal hand worked out these great
things-they are the gracious gifts Of
that Most High God, who, while deal
ing with us in anger for our sins,
hath nevertheless remembered us in
mercy"
