A PROCLAMATION. '.
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, has
been pleased to vouehsafe TO us as a people,
another year of that National life which is an
indispensable condition of peace, security and
progress. That year has moreover been con-
pected with many peculiar blessings. The
civil war that so recently closed among us has
not been anywhere reopened. Foreign inter-
yention has ceased TO excite alarm or appre-
sension- Intrusive pestilence has been benign
ly miigaied- Domestic tranquility has i'm
proved. Sentiments of Cancellation have large
ly prevailed and affections of loyalty and pa
triotism have been widely renewed. Our
fields have yielded quite abundantly. Our
mining industry has been richly rewarded.
and we have been allowed to extend our rail-
road system fer into the interior recesses of the
country, while our commerce has resumed its
customary activity in foreign seas These
great National Blessings demand q national
acknowledgement
Now, therefore, L, ANDREW JOHNSON, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby recon-
mend that Thursday, the twenty mil, "a day OF
November next, be set apart and be observed
everywhere in the several States and Terri
tories OF the United States by the people there
OF, as day of Thanksgiving and Praise TO
Almighty God, with due remembrance that in
His temple doth every man speak of His honor.
i recommend also that, on the same solemn oc.
casIon- they do humbly and devoutly implore
Him TO grant TO our National Councils and to
our whole people that divine wisdom which
alone can lead any nation into the ways of all
good.
In offering these national thanksgiyings
praises, and supplieations, we have the divine
assurance thai the Lord remainesh King
forever. Them that are meek shall He guide
In judgment, and such as are gentle shall He
learn his way. The Lord shall give strength
10 His people, and the Lord shall give 10 His
people the blessing of peace.
In witness whereof have hereunto set nv
hand and caused the seal Of the United States
10 be affixed.

The Republicans carried the Fourth, Seventh
and Tenth Districts by small majorities two
years ago, VOORHEES,, Democrat received a GER
tificate Of election in the Seventh District, but
was unseated on the ground of illegal voting.
The Conservatives hope to gain the 3D. 4th,
eth, sth, 9th and 10th Districts, and are giving
Speaker Colfax pretty sharp contest. As his
majority in "a was $50 IN 3l.636 votes, he will
dou btless re reelected.
The First and Second Districts, now repre-
sented by Democrats, are 50 strongly Couser va
tive that the Radicals cannot hope to change
their complexion.

The Conservatives have made judicious
nominations of Union Generals, and Others
standing well with the people. and have fair
prospect Of gaining some of these districts.
The total vote in 1860 was 1913 33I; IN 1861
1923; 1863, 13S, $50, and in 1854, 1861 The

and other outragss committed against the cit
liens OF Western Kansas during the past spring
and summer Gen. Cloud reports seven MUIR
ders by the Indians in the month Of Nav, ap.
parently committed by Pawnee5 and Ottoes.
In the month Of July settlement upon White
Rock river was visited by Pawnees, who plum.
dered II, and subjected a woman to ravfsh.
ment. In August, Pawnees and Omahas, TO
the number Of over eight hundred, visited q
settlement upon a tributary OF the Solomon

against him. immediateiy FASTENED to this
city, arriving here at 6K this merning, by the

Of Paymaster General Brice, where he stated
that he was ready to meet any charges. Gen.

Of shy charges against him, and Mr.. Low
enthai, wi b his counsel, then proceeded 10
the Criminal Court room, when inquiry wa
made as TO whether any charge had been
preferred, and Mr.. l.. proffered bail 70 ap-
pear at any time, but no charge having
been made, the Court declined to act.
He then proceeded TO the ONCE Of Ma

and entered into recognizAnce to appear At

brought against him.
Thus far there would seem to be not q parti-
