A PROCLAIM ALTON.

1t has pleased the Almighty God to
hearken to the supplications and prayers
Of an afflicted people, and to vouchsafe
to the army and the navy of the United
States, on the land and on the sea, vic.
tories so signal and so effective as to
furnish reasonable grounds for augmen.
ted confidence that the Union of these
States will be maintained, their Consti-
tuition preserved, and their peace and
prosperity permanently preserved; but
these victories have been secured not
without sacrifice of life, limb and lber.
ty; incurred by brave, patriotic and 10y.
al citizens Domestic affection in every
part of the country follows in the train
Of these fearful bcreavements. 1t is
meet and right to recognize aud confess
in 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 do
set apart Thursday, the sixth of August
next, to be observed as day for Ma
tional 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 form approved by their own con-
science render the homage due to the
Divine Majesty for the wonderful things
he has done in the Nations behalf, and
invoke the influence Of His Holy Spirit
TO subdue the anger which has so long
sustained needless and cruel rebellion;
to change the hearts of the insurgents !;
to guide the counsels the Government
with wisdom adequate to so great Ma
tional emergency, and to visit with ten
der care, and consideration throughout
the length and breath of our land, all
those who, through the vissisltudes Of
marches, voyages, battles and seiges,
havo been brought to suffer in mind,
body or estate, and finally to lead the
whole nation through the paths of re.
pcntence and submission to the Divine
will, back to the perfect enjoyment of
union and fraternal peace.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

FAsT STEAMERS the advent on
the river of tho clipper steamers Rem
deer aud Canadian, moro attention than
usual has been given to the subject of
fast steamers, and many inquiries are
made as to tho "best time on record, !"
sc. We give below an item from the
Home Journal, of late date, which seems
to settle the question of "timc" on the
great national race course for thorough
bred crafts, the Hudson River:
FASTEST STEAMBOAT TRIP.-The
steamer Mary Powell commanded by
Captain A. l.. Henderson, is doubtless
tho best contrived boat on the Hudson,
and her qualities have continually been
a deserved theme of praise. She now
lays claim, however, to the champion
ship of the river, having on recent
trip made the quickest time on record
She left this city at $50 II. NJ, aud
reached Poughkeepsie at 7:l2, thus
making the run of seventy five miles in
three hours and forty.two Minutes
She lost five minutes in getting into the
stream on starting, and consumed thirty
five minutes at landings. This makes
the actual running time three hours and
two minutes. Twenty five miles an
hour is an unprecedented feat in Hud.
son River steamboating.

-Four years have wrought marvellous
change in Saginaw Valley, a change,
the reality of which exceeds by far the

unnecessary to remark, is the prime
cause or this rapid Development of the
resources Of the Valley, and by this new
interest, with which nearly all others
are in some manner connected, as well
as by circumstances which have given
new stimulus to operations in lumber,

much marvel to the habitants of tho

a substantial basis for all this progress,
basis which is a sure guarantee of fu.

assures all who now or hereafter seek
this section, that permanent drawback

no locality, east, west, north or south,

No less than four great military cam

against Lee; Gen Rosecrans' campaign

latter campaigns and victories are final
in themselves; the two former will
doubtless be resumed on new fields, or

made to supply the want of hand labor
to great extent, and but for this not
one half of the crops could be gathered.
Wheat is lighter than was antici pated
early in the season, but nevertheless
there Is fair average crop, and in the
main it is of an excellent quality and
has been well secured. Corn, as a gen.
eral thing is looking well, though there
are some sickly fields and all will require
a liberal amount of heat and moisture
to insure full crop. Root crops gen.

promise of fair but not over abundant
supply. Altogether, the season has been
favorable to farmers, and as we heard

they are reasonably well satisfied with
the arrangements of Providence thus

CoPrERnEADIsM.-lIon. Salmon L.
Chase, Secretary of tho Treasury, in a
speech delivered in Ohio, in August,
1857, expressed tho following copper
head sentiments:
1--WE have right to have our State
laws obeyed. We don't mear to resist
any federal authority-Just or unjust
laws, properly administered, will be re.
spocted. If dissatisfied, we will go to
the ballot box and redress our wrongs.
But we have rights which the federal
government must not invade--rights
superior to it's powcr, on which our
sovereignty depends, and we do mean
to assert these rights against all tyran.

Governor Seymour, OF New York,
holds tho same sentiments to-day that
Mr. Chase did in 1857.

Among the "devices that return to

Of the hands Of the Mayor, at that time
Democrat, and put it III those Of the
Governor, then republican. Now the
politics of those officials are reversed,
and the Tribune mourns the fact that
