Napoleon thought all was lost; but it

wanted to see the Government drafts

they are sending parties north to Canada,

eiew to voting at the approaching election
to be organized for the pu, pose Of shooting
down innocent citizens and plundcring
private property, as in the recent incur
sions on the Detroit road, and Mt St AL
bans. This is no sensation rumor, but a
fact. The vigilant eye of Gen, Dix, has
been upon their movements for some time
past and ha ing discovered their designs
he has issued an order instructing Provost
Marshals and their deputies to exercise
all possible vigilance, and adopt such
measures as may be necessary, to detect
and bring to justice all sucu persons. -
Such are the designs of the enemies of the
Cos ernment north and south For this
purpose Price and his army were sent to
Missouri. For this purpose portion OF
his men were sent to Iowa, and for this
purpose the rebels are now sent to Ten-
nessee and their tools to Canada. Pit

Our copperhead friends are particularly
jubilant over the fact that they have been
successful in getting up sight disaffec-
ton among Union men upon the candida
cy Tor County Treasurer. Through this
means they hope 10 elect their own candi-
date We regret that they should have
found as worthy man as Mr., G,anviiie
willing to be used to accomplish their de-
signs. It is game they have been work
Ing at for the past two years to defeat Mr.
Vivian, for they we'll know that they had
no man in their party who stood the least
show of an election when run SINCE handed
against him. The principal instrument
or tool they have used in the matter is a
protested Union man. but one who IS at
heart as ultra copperhead as Nallandig-
ham himself One who made his brags
after the Union Contention to cOpperheads,
that now if the Democrats will nominate
a good ticket, zee vii help elect it, speak
ing as he supposed for all who favored the
nomination OF Mr. Granville.
The copperheads, though this tool OF
theirs promise to the friends Of Mr. CLAN
Vile that he will get large number Of
votes from ,heir party, while in fact not a
man Of them VII vote for him. We would
caution Union men TO be on their guard
and not be deceived by their false profess
sions Let every one remember that even
Mir Glanvillc himself has not the slightest
hope Of an election 1t is not to elect him
that his name is used, but to defeat Mr..
Vivian. Remember that every vote cast
for Mr.. Granville is a vote against Mr..
Vivian, and goes to help elect the copper
head candidate. The choice lies between
Mr.. Vivian and Mr. Meigs. Those who
prefer Nr. Meigs will vote direct for him,
notwithstanding their pretensions Of friend
ship for Mr.. Granville Let those who
prefer Mr. Vi ian to Mr.. Meigs vote for
him, and not aid the election of his oppo-
nent by throwing their votes away upon
Mr.. Granville or any other third person
who stands no show of an election

We are not alta ] sur brised that our neigh

port each other The IteLHgencer con-
taius some most powerful arguments in
committing the charge as will be seen by
the following which we extract from the

in justification Of the remark by Mr. Ro-

that, at the start, he believed that war

that war was disunion, and was still will
ling to participate in il in favor of rebel

But Mr.. Rodoif said in his speech in this

ginning was to save the Union, and that
it was not until the Emancipation Proc

Another year has passed; its trials, its vic
tories, Its rewards, its punishmcnts, its bless
ings have been recorded its fruits have been
gathered in. In reviewing them, how mani
fest are the reasons for thankfuIness and
praise to God for his wonderful goodness to
the children of men. For II e many tokens
Of Divine favor, the many blessings thew hav
been permitted to enjoy, the people of Wis
consln have Cr at reason to be thankful
Pestilence and famine have been kept far from
US The lab0rs Of the miner, the mariner.
the mechanic and the husb,ndman have been
rewarded The privileges Of education and
of worshiping God according to the dictates
Of conscience have been enjoyed by all.
II honor and loyalty of Wisconsin have
been most nObly indicated by her sons on
many a battle field. Wherever our liberties
have been assailed, an All-wise Creator has
given US stout hearts and strong arms to de-
tend them
The free institutions established by our
fathers have been protected and preserved,
and 4 wicked and unhoIy rebellion brought
near 10 its close
While the people Of our sister States have
suffered ft0m the devastatious caused by hos
tile armies in their midst, 0 people have
been spared this c lamity. For all these and
numerous other blessings, which God in His
goodness has vouchsaf-d TO US; for His loving
dDUAU1Ht
mercics, should with grateful hearts thank
and praise him.
Therefore, /, James T. Lewis, Governor OF
the State OF Wisconsin, in accordance with a
worthy and time-honored custom. do hereby
designate and appoint
Thursday, the 24th day of November,
1861, as day Of Thanksgiving and Praise to
Almighty God, and | would recommend to
the people that, laying aside secular pursuits,
they meet on that day in their accustomed
places of worship, and offer thanks to God
for the many blessings we have been permit
ted to enjoy during the past year, and with
their thanks let the earnest, fervent prayer
ascend for the protection of the widow and
the orphan, the noble soldier and his suffer
ing family, that we NAV all grow wiser ard

and that peace may soon again visit and bless
