THE ExFCUrION er wIRz

Gen. Augur, commander of the Department
of Washington, has been selected by the War
Department to carry out the sentence in the
case of Wirz.
Gen. Augur yesterday directed Major G. b.
Russell, Provost Marshal Of this Department,
to make the necessary arrangements for the
execution, under whose immediate charge it
will take place place in the Old Capitol prison
yard.
Major Russell has succeeded in securing the
services of an executioner, and to-day work
men are engaged in erecting an entirely new
gallows, the one heretofore used for military
executions being dispensed with on this occa-
sion. ....
Owing to the limited space of the yard on
which the execution will take place it will in
a measure be a private one, no one being ad-
United to the yard except those who obtain a
pass. There will be but one hundred passes
issued, including those to the representatives
of the press.
To-day Major Russell's office was literally
besieged by parties anxious to obtain passes to
witness the execution, but they were all dis
appointed, as none will be issued until to-
morrow

PRECAUTIONARY.

The prompt measures taken by Mayor Wal
ZACH in preparing for the cholera, by re-
organizing the Board of Health, and admon-
tshing the citizens against the neglect of sani-
tary laws, will doubtless be as promptly
seconded by the community at large. This
Action assures the people of Washington that
the municipal authorities will omit nothing in
their efforts 10 combat the scourge of cholera,
and IL property holders and tenants will COM
ply with the advice of the Mayor by cleaning
their premises of filth, we need fear little from
this epidemic. The Mayor says:
"Much can be done by the individual ctti-
Zen, who should, for the time being, consider
himself a sanitary officer, looking to the con-
dition of his own family, premises, and, if
need be- his neighbor, and making II a special
duty to assist in maintaining cleanly and
healthful condition of things, by immediately
reporting to his respective sanitary officer,
ward commissioner, or this Office, all cases
where the aid or interference of the authori-
ties is necessary.
We hear that many citizens take umbrage at
visits of inspection paid tn their premises by
sanitary officers. This is all wrong Every
citizen should feel it an obligation to give up
something of his personal convenience for the
time being for the good of the community, and
to afford the officers every facility for
thorough discharge of their duty.

Proclamation of Governor Curtin, of Penn.

OF GOveruOr curtin, OF Penn.
Sylyania.
HARRISBURG, Nov. The following proc.
iaInaton was issued to-day
PROCLAMATION.
With feelings of the most profound gratitude
10 Almighty God. invite the good people of
the Common wealth to meet in their places of
public worship on Thursday, the seventh day
of December next, and raise their hearts and
voices in praise and thanksgiving to Him, not
only for the manifest ordinary blessings which,
during the past year, he has continued to heap
upon us, for abundant and gathered harvests
for thriving and industry, for general health,
also, most expressly and fervently for His
unequaled goodness in having so siren gthened
and guarded our people during the last four
years that they have been enabled to crush to
terminate the system Of human slavery which
caused it. As we wrestled in prayers with
Him in the dark time of our trouble, when our
brothers and sons were stalking life and limb
for us on a bloody field or suffering by torture
or famine in the bells of Anderson vile or the
Libby, so now, when our supplicanons have
been so marvelously and graciously answered,
let us not withhold from Him the homage Of
our thanksgiving. Let MS say to all, "Uhoose
We this day whom ye will serve, but for us
and our house, we will serve the Lord" Come
then. We people whom He hath so helped and
led, come ye way worn and mutilated men.
whom He hath spared to return to your dear
homes, let us throng the gates Of his temples,
let us throw ourselves on the knees of our
hearts. with wiilful joy at the foot Of His
throne and render aloud our praise and thanks
giving to Him, because He hath made the right
to prevail, because He hath z yen us the VIC
tory, because he hath cleansed our land from
the STAN OF human slavery, and because he
hath craciously shown forth in the eyes OF all
men the great truth. that no Government il so
strong as q Republic, controlled under his
guidance, by an educated, moral and religious
people. A. G. OURTIh.

THE ELECTIONS.

York, Mas cbusetts, New Jersey, Wisconsin,
Mary land, Missouri, and Illinois indicate the
complete success of the Union ticket. In
Massachusetts the Democrats have elected six
Representatives, and the Union party four
teen. Gen. Banks is elected to Congress. In
New York the Democrats elected but one State
Senator. The Union gains in New York city
are about 1860. There is no doubt OF the cleo
ton Of Gen. Barlow. New Jersey gives a
Union majority, electing Marcus l.. Ward
Governor, and securing a majority in the
State Legislature, thus insuring the ratifica-
tion of the Constitutional amendment. In
Maryland and Wisconsin the returns are
equally gratifying. Baltimore elected all the
L MON candidates
