PROCLAMATION.

THE STATE OF ONO,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
April 6, 1865.
The God of Battles has blessed our armies
and the glorious cause of human freedom Un-
der his approving smiles the patriotic and brave
men in the field have achieved unparalleled
triumpbs. The rebel Capital has been conquer
ed, and given back to the Union, and the army
that held it in rebellion has been broken and
scattered The military power of the rebellion
the strongest obstacle 10 peace-has received
a terrible shock, and our gallant armies arepur-
suing it TO final extinction.
For all this we owe praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God, recognition of the services
and sacrifices of our noble soldiers, and reioic-
ing over the triumph of the right, the crushing
of the rebellion, and early return to peace and
prosperity in the land.
1t is therefore recommended that Friday next
the I4th day of ofApril-being the anniversary of
the fall of Fort Sumter-be generally observed
by the people of the State, as day of thanks
giving to God, and of general rejoicing; that re-
ligious assemblages and observances mark the
day, and the evening be given to bonfires, illu-
Mutations and the laundering of artillery, pub
lie assemblsges and speeches, and such other
manifestations as may be suggested, to .appro-
priately mark the heroic deeds of our armies,
and the general Joy of our people at the early
restoration of the Constitution and good govern
ment
Witness my hand at Columbus the day and
year above written.

commencement of the battle. Before it surren-
dered, we had captured about u, 600 prisoners
and about Is, 900 We're killed and wounded. =

HALLELuJAHl!t

Richmond is takenl Lee and his army have
s,nrenderedli The Rebellion is squelched!l
The result so long hoped for and prayed for is
now in full view. The end for which such tor
rents of blood have been shed; for which un-
told millions of treasure have been poured forth
has been attained. We have a Constitution, a
Government and Country. We are Nation
aud not a bundle of communities, bound togeth-
er by no ties but the interests and choices of
the hour. Thank Godl the Republic lives
Its foundations laid by the Fathers of 76, and
cousecrated by their own blood and the blood
of their children, stands firm as The eternal
hills. Our glorious country is one and indivis-
ible. The demagogues and traitors who would
have split it up into half dozen confederacies,
ever ready to tear each others hearts out have
met the doom they deserved. The great body
of our people have sternly resolved that they
will not spend the next hundred years in de-
stroying all that the last hundred has accom-
peace; no bowling about taxes; not even the aw-
ful drain upon the life-bloOd of the nation,
could turn it aside from its steadfast purpose to
maintain the Union at all hazards. The grand
old Declaration is at last vindicated. 1t is now
true as il ought always TO have been, that all
men living under the Nations Flag are en-
dowed with ''certain inalieuable rights, among
which are life. liberty, and the pursuit Of hap
piness.' Spite of false corrupt and noisome
democracy, which has resisted, and still resists
the attainment of all these ends with bitterest
hostility; spite of the enmity of the monarchs
and aristocrats of France and England; spite of
the desperate fighting of the slave drivers, aid
ed by all the powers of evil above and below,
the Great Republic has risen in her might, and
has proclaimed justice, liberty and law to all
the inhabitants of the land Let the owls and
the bats now seek their holes. Let the traitor
Gus villains who sought to stab the Republic in
the back, while she contended for her life with
a host of foes now call on the rocks and hills to
fall on them, and hide them from her wrath
Their memory shall rot. Their names shall
regions rapply to the Legislature for a change
Of name. But those who have stood firmly by
the Flag now exult and rejoice. The night was
dark but glorious is the morning. The cost
was terrible but it has not been withheld -
The nation mourns its dead. The wounded it
will honor and support. The survivors shall
proudly say, fought in the armies of the Re-
public under Grant, or Sherman, or Sheridan
or Thomas. Once more we shout Halleluiah
Our armies fought the enemy in the field. The
people at home fought the enemy at the polls
Yea we fought them both, and whipped them
both Praise the Lord
