A Proclamation.

Almighty Tod our heavenly
Father has been pleased to vouch-
safe to us.as people another year Of
that national life which is an indis-
pensablc condition of peace, sccuri-
ty and progress. That year more
over has been crowned with many
peculiar blessings. The civil war
that was 50 recently among us has
not been anywhere rc-opencd, For
eign intervention has ceased to ex-
cite alarm or apprehension. 1ntru-
sive pestilence has been benignly
mitigated Domestic tranquility
has improved; sentiments of concil-
iation have largely prevailed, and
affections of loyalty and patriotism
have been widely renewed. Our
fields have yielded quite abundant
ly-our mining industry has been
richly rewarded, and We have been
allowed to extend orr railroad sys-
TEN far into the interior recesses
of the country. while oar commerce
has resumed its customary activity
in foreign seas.
These great national blessings
demand national acknowledge
mCnt.
Now, therefore, l, Andrew John
son, President Of the United States,
do hereby reccommcnd that Thurs
day the twenty-ninty day Of Novem-
Der next. be set apart and be OBJ
served everywhere in the several
states and territories of the United
States, by the people thereof, as
day of thanksgiving and praise to
Almighty God, with due remem-
brance that in His temple doth eve
ry man speak of His honor.
| also recommend that on the
same solemn occasion we do humbly
and devoutly implorc Him to grant
to our national councils and to
our whole people that divine wis
dom which alone can lead any ma
ton into the ways Of all good.
In offering these national thanks
givings, praises and applications,
We have the divine assurance that
the Lord rcmaincth king forever.
Those that are meek shall He guide
in Judgment: and those that are
gentle shall He learn his way
The Lord shall give strength to
his people: and the Lord shall give
t. His people the blessings Of
peace.
Tn witness whereof | have hereun-
to set my hand, and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington,

ded by the act Of July 2s, 1866, is
claimed by the widow of deceased

been decided by the second comp
troller of the treasury that if the re-
marriage took place before the pas
sage Of the act she is entitled to re-
ccive it; if remarked after the pas
sage Of the act, then the widow
would not be entitled to the bounty.

PERsoNAL.-During the week
since our last issue, we have had
calls from Hon. Geo. ". Jones, Of
Dubuque, one Of the most social,
gentlemanly aud interesting gentle
men Of our acquaintance; man
who in Congress and ost, has &C
complished more for the material
advancement Of the northwest. and
especially of Iowa, in its career of
progress & wealth than any one man
within its limits. He was, during
his long and useful career in the
Senate one Of the most successful
men Of that body; always alive to
the interests of the vest, courteous
and affable in his intercourse with
his fellow Senators, ever ready to
let others do the congressional
spouting,' he was content to secure
to his State the fruits cf well order
ed legislation. In this he was emil
nently successful. The territory of
Wisconsin owes its name and its
territorial organization to his well
directed la bors, he at the time being
territorial delegate for the territory
of Michigan. SO too with Iowa, its
name and territorial organization
were the direct results Of his well
directed labors, he at the time
being territorial delegate fer Wis
consin territory Since then his
name has been connected with the
entire history Of cur State.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1866

Some few days since the entire
country was startled by series OF
questions published in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, purporting to have
been addressed by the President t.
the Attorney General for his opin-
ion as to the legal status Of Con-
gress. After an official denial on
the part of the President, the Lclg-
or publishes the suhjoincd denial.
Tint Congress, as organized, is a
constitutional body is doubted by
the best legal talent of the coa1try:
but here is the Ledgers denial:
Contradiction by the Ledger.
PHILADELPHIA, October lin
relation to the despatch about the
President and the Attorncy-General,
the LEDGER publishes the following:
"a decpatch from one Of our
Washington correspondents, pub
lished in the LEDGER yesterday, re-
lating to an alleged series of ques-
tions concerning the status Of the
present Congress, said to have been
submitted to the Acknowledgement
by the President. excited consider
able interest. 1t was from an cx-
perienced, well-informed. and usual
ly careful correspondent. and there
fore was published as We received
it, and of course without any indorsc-
nent by this journal. After careful
inquiry made yesterday at Wash
ington, we have come to the conclu-
sion that our correspondent was de-
ceiyed; and whatever may have
been the foundation for his state
ment, we are now satisfied that no
such questions have been prnpound-
cd by the President to the Attorney
General. While We sincerely regret
that an error on SO important a sub
ject has found its way into the LEpG-
Err, even in our correspondence, we
are glad to be able to record the
fact that the President has not
raised so serious question, for no
sound lawyer can doubt the entire
legality Of the existing Congress.

playing in boat with another boy near raft ly
ing near the Big Eddy, pretty well out in~he Sus

of the boat, which from some cause swung round
and hit the raft, throwing the boy off into the
swift stream. He rose as his companion says, and
caught the boat with one finger, but soon sank and
was seen no more. Considerable efforts by drags
and nets have since been made but the body has
not been got At the time the river was rising
and the stream running strong and it is feared
that the body has been carried of down the river
On Tuesday last a cannon fired two or three
times in hopes to raise the body but without any
effect. 1t is hoped that il the body is found down

val of religion amongst as. The results will be
gathered so far as they can be- and in due time

County in the State has been more blessed in its
efforts for the salvation Of souls than has Bradford
County during the past four months Within that
period several of our largest churches have nearly
doubled their membership, while some of the
smallest have received more than forty persons at
single communion. 1t is worthy of special no.
tice that the ingathering thus far has been in al
most exact proportion to the efforts of Ministers
and Christians in behalf of the young During
the past few weeks more than one S Superinten-
dent has said to me, All of my scholars indulge
a hope in the Savior" Christian teachers of Brad

zeal in the service of our Divine Master. God has
given us abundant assurance that Eve shall reap
