TUESDAY, APKIL 14. 1863
A Proclamation,
WheraostbeSenate of t(ie United States, de
vootly recognizing tbe Supreme Authority and Just
government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of
men and of nations, has, by a resolution, requested
the President to designate and set apart a day for
National prayer and humiliation.
And irltercas it is the duly of nations, as
well as of men, to own their dependence upon
the overruling powerof God, to confess their sins
and transgressions in bumble sorrow, yet with
assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to
mercy and pardon, and to. recognise the sublime
truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and prove
by aU:histoiy, that those.nations only are blessed
whose God is the Lord.
* And, insomuch as we know, that bv His divine
laws, nations, like individuals, are subject to pun
isments and chastisements in this , world, may we
not justly fear that the awfnt calamity of civil war,
> whtchs now desolates the land, may be but a pun
ishment indicted upon us for' our presiimptons
sins; to the needful end of opr national reforma
tion as a whole People? We have been the re
cipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We
-have been preserved, these many years, in peace
and We have grown in numbers,
wealth, and power, as no other nation has ever
grown, But we have forgotten God. We have
forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us
in peace, and multipliedand enriched and strength
ened us; and we have vainly imagined, in de
ceitfulness pf our hearts, that all these blessings
were produced by some superior wisdom and
vinue_pOoar own. Intoxicated with unbroken
success, we have been too selfsuiiirient to fe.lthe
necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too
proud to pray to the God that made ns 1
It behooves os, then to humble ourselves before
the offisnded Power, Jo confess our national sins,
and lo.pray for clemency and forgiveness.
Now, therefore,: in compliance with the request,
and fullr concurring in tne views of the Senate, I
do, by tnis-mv proclamation, designate and sei
apart THURSDAY THE 30m DAY OF
APRIL, 1863, as a day of national humiliation,
fisting and prayer. And Ido hereby request, all
the People to abstain that day from their ordinary
secular pursuits, and to unite, at their several
places of public worship, and their respective
homes, in keeping the day holy.to the Lord, and
devoted to the bumble discharge of the religious
duties, proper to that-solemn occasion.
All this being done in sincerity and truth, lei
US' then rest humbly in t|ie hope, authorized by
the Divine teachings, that the united cry of ilk
Nation .will be heard on high, and answered with
blessin/gs, no less than the.pariion of pur national
sins, and restoration of otnHiow divided rind suf
fering cottony to its former happy condition ol
unity and peace. •
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 31st day
v of March, in the year of our Lord one
[l. s.] thousand,eight hundred and sixty-three,

States the eight-seventh.

Musses. Editors ;—Amidst the clamor and
- confusion of preparing for the march, I find time
to write a for lines for the Tribune. Well, 1 have
mentioned about going away in several previous
letters, and at length we have received orders to
be ready for lhe march. Bound, for Charleston!
v Yes, Charleston is all the cty! Hurrah for
Charleston ! We are gping to do some fighting!
'Yen, the Keystone Zouaves are ready for any
emergency! Never fear for them! They are
sons of Pennsylvania's soil. Won’t do though to
boast; 'might offend somebody, or somebody else.
, Just wait until you bear from ns.
We have had Mane very stormy weather for
several days back. Sad weather for vessels, as
the sea is yeiy rough.
Company F isstill getting along O. K. Speak
of company F leads me to make a few remarks in
referenpe to .the state and condition of the com
pany. JBy referring to the company books we find
that onr company only numbers fifty three pri
vates. bring thirty-two less than the number re
quired in die formation of a full company. We
vrant tbilty-two recruits to fill put our company,
and we mint good men; we want good soldiers.
.Whh, of who trill read this letter, wi)l
volunteer. Wo do not want drafted men, but we
want volunteers. For the information of such
penpns who may wish to serve their country, and
who wrlib to connect themselves with a good
raiment, ;! would remark : If you want to enlist
in a gdpd regiment, the Keystone Zouave regiment
is the veiy, one yon should join, and company F,
,of said regiment, is the company yon should
belong to. Perhaps you may wish to know why
I am so anxious to have pur regiment?
I .have several reasons..of which the following are a
few.: : ’’
’ Ist. We have food officers, which is one great
advantage.
2nd. are well drilled, there not being a
■ legiment in the 10th army corps that can beat ns.
SrdiWe ate well clothed, haying the real
. French Zouave costume, and pronounced by all
who have.seen it; to be the most handsome, com
fortable and serviceable tmifoim in' the service.
•4th. We are well fed. Of coarse we have not
luxuries which we enjoyed at .borne, but
vre get veiy gopd and nourishing food, end plenty
of It, so tttatwe are never in want.
Sth. We have swell powder and exchanged
ieadWitb.therebels, and are not afraid of thenh
,6tb. We have only about one year to serve vet,
we having servedalmost two yearg. And lastly—
we are Zouacet, not only Jn name but also in
friMt|i(et and arc pretty good "looking blioys
generally.
It is the doty of every citizen of the United
States, capable of bearing arms, to enlist and help
defend - the land of the.; free 'and the home
of the brave. Onr forefathers fought and
W- to secure .for us the privileges we have
pßjcysd and..which we .still enjoy. They se
to and a homo at a great
price, and shall we, their ehUdren, softer this
conn try to be taken ftoro ns ? Will we permit
ourselves to be bound hand and foot?, No : J; Thou
sands have responded to our country's call, and
are now. eiiduring the hardships and privations of
camp life.: And there are! thousands ydt, who
ought to be in the army, but wbo are stiliataying
at home, saying, “there -nrecnough without us,"
“ when we;: are needed we will go." When you
are needed ! Why you are' needed nout! It is
the duty ofeyery man to fight for his. country, and
if you stay at home while others are marching
against the foe, you act ihshduestly! What right
have you to'stay at home more than others? Sup
pose every' man was to remain at home, and
say, “I iMhd not go, there are enough r without
me.” Where would we get men to defend our
country? And veil every man has equal : rights.
One man has no more right to remain at home
than another. And here is another thing to be
considered;. If you do not enlist you will be
drafted. Go you must, and had yon not; better
go voluntarily , than to be forced to go? Now Ido
hope you will meditate on what I have juafsuid,
and that you will be. induced to enlist and join the
Seventy-Sixth Regt. Fa. Vojs. Of course wc do
not want the two young men, if I may call them
so, (they dq not deserve to he be called men) who,
when they were solicited to enlist refused, and
when they were enrolled and were afraid of
tiding drafted, plead off, one on the plea of Iteiug
and theother on that of hot being naturalized.
They are both Gentians. lam glad to be able to
say that they do' not live in Altoona, although not a
hundred miles from .there. Hope tliey will have
left the United States_before we get homo.

The following is the action of the 135th Kegt.,

Corps, of the Array of the Potomac. ■ ; '
HEADQUARTERS 1 25th Regt,, Pa. Vot.S.y : j

' April 2, 1363.)
Whereas, Certain persons in .the
army and at home have circulated base and
scandalous rejiorts concerning the Army'of the
Potomac, it is wiih pain and regret we have no
ticed the unfounded but too universal belief of, the
demoralization of this army—a report put in cir
culation by a set of Northern traitors to. justify
their own wicked designs, laying to our charge the
imputation that we arc in favor of peace on anv
terms. For the purpose of; refuting so base a
slander, alike insulting to onr character us soldiers
and citizens, we, the members of the one hundred
and iwenty-sfih Regiment, Seconc Brigade, First
Division, Twelfth Army Corps, do therefore re
solve: :
I. That we denounce ail snch reports and alle
gations, and declare’most emphatically that there
are no men to lie found in our ranks who would
not blush at a dishonorable and inglorious peace,
or would; not rather sacrifice their all for the
maintenance of onr Cons itntion, the integrity of
.our country, and the crushing out of the iehellioii.
11. That wearying and toilsome as thVprufus
sion of a poldfer may' he, and as much as we long
tor the society of our sweet-hearts and .families,
and the endearments of home, we feel it our duty
to carry oil this war to the Inner end ; mid what
ever the cduseqneiiccs to ourselves may‘he, the
Array of the Potomac will be true to its hag. and
does not desire jicace until the last rebel hits van
ished from our soil.
111. We warn our friends at home to beware of
the traitors’ in their own :midst—“wolves in
sheep’s clothing”—and never to forget that the
duty of a good citizen” and true patriot is the
maintenance of his rightful Government, arid sub
mission of all little, persona], political or social in
terests to" the great common cause. The blood of
thousands; of our friends and comrades; already
sacrificed upon the altar of our countiy, Cry aloud
to you to follow cheerfully their glorious example,
and to fill The thinned ranks of an arniy which
will never submit to an inglorious peace.
IV. It is our sincere belief that the safety of
the country lies in rallying around the Govern
ment, in » hearty co-operation of all'the branches
of civil life in a vigorous prosecution of this war,;
the stern resolution to fight until the last rebel in
aims is subdued, and the “Stars and Stripes” arc
again floating ever.every inch of the territory be
longing to the United States. We hivite our
friends at; home and abroad ip join with up in the
motto: “High the flag of our country ; death to
traitors, South, or Jforth, East or West, ;

A DaStaedut Act. —The copperheads of Lib

iishen. of printed books, magazines, pamphlets,

< If the sales of a publisher are to those Who buy
to sell again, or if this part of his business is con

his business with reference to eueh sales, he should
be classed as 'dealer, even though a

The Best Way to Put -Money Out at
The following information we insert in our col
umns for the benefit of oar readers:
One-ofthe things in the recent
conversion of greenback, notes into tiie popular
Five-Twenty six per cent. Government loan-at
par, is the universality of the call. Wo happened
in, yesterday, at the office of Jay CAtke, who is
the agent fob the sale of these loans, and the con
version of the greenbacks, and found his table
literally covered with orders land accompanying
drafts for almost all amounts, from five thomand
to a hundred thousand dollars.each, and from all
parts of the Uuion. The little State of Delaware
and New Jersey are free takers, as are also Penn
sylvania, New York and the New England States.
But the West is most especially an active taker,
as well through her bunks as by .individuals. The
amount of orders lying before us, ail received
during the day, amounted to over jitern hundred
thousand dollars. With this spontaneous proffer of
money, Secretary Chase must fcel himself entirely
al ease, and will take care to put himself beyond
those money sharpers, whose chief study is bow to
profit ihcmclvcs most; from tbe troubles of the
country, and the necessities of the treasury. 'There
are millions,of dollars lying idle all over the country,
and while the uncertainty existed as to what
Congress would do, and tbe bullion brokers were
successful in running up gold to the discredit of
the Government- issue, this capital was clutched
close. But as the piolicy and measures of the
Secretary of the Treasury are gradiudly developed,
confidence in the Government-mid in the future is
Strengthened, and holders are now anxious to
make their long unemployed means productive—
hence the ready and liberal investment in the
Five-Twenty loans at par. Almost every town
(iml village throughout the country has individual
holders of money, to larger amounts probably
than ever before at one time, for which satisfactory
takers cannot be found. "Many of those are now
investors in these loans, and the number of
such is likely to increase, until, the demand shall
put ull the Government loans on a par. with, til
least, the loans of tbe various incorporated compa
nies. Tiie country banks tire also free takers for
themselves ai)d their customers. On the Ist of
July this Five-Twenty Year loan will, under the
law. bo wi.h.lrawn. ’

Dear Sir :
I see by our papers that you are selling for the
Government anew Loan called “ Five-1 wemics."
1 expect ip have shortly a few thousand dollars to
spare, and as I have made up my mind that the
Govern mem Loans arc safe and good, and that it
is my duty and interest, at this time, to put my
money intothem in preference over any other loans
or stocks. 1 w rite to get information as follows :
Ist. Whv are they culled “ Five-Twenties ?"•
2nd. Do yon take country money, or only Legal
Tender Notes, or will a check, on Philadelphia, or
New York, answer for Subscriptions?
3d. Do you soli the Bonds at Par?
4th. A> I cannot come to Philadelphia, how
am I to get the Bonds?
sth What interest do they pay, and how and
when and where is it paid, and is it paid in Gold
Or Legal Tenders ? ”
(itli. Ho.v docs Secretary get enough
Gold to pay this Interest ?
7th. Will the face of the Bonds he paid in Gold
wiicn due?
rtiii. Can I have tire Bonds payable to Bearer
with'Coupons, of registered and .payable-to my
order ?
t*:li* What size arc* the Bonds?
Huh. Will 1 have fo pay the same tax on them
as 1 now pay on my Railroad, or other Bonds?
I lilt. What is the present debt of the Govern
ment. and what amount is it likely to reach il the
Rebellion should last a year or two longer ?
12!tli. Will Secretary Chase get enough from
Custom House duties and Internal Revenue, In
come Taxes, &c., &e., to make it certain that lie
can pay the Interest puncuta lly ?
I have no doubt that a good many of ntv neigh
bors would like to these Bonds, and if you
will answer my questions I will show the letter to
them. Very Respectfully,

Philadelphia, March 23, 18U3.
Dear Sir :
Your letter of the 20th hist, is received, and 1
will cheerfully give yon the information desired by
answering your questions in due order.
Ist, These Bonds are called “Five-Twenties ”
because, while they are twenty year Bonds, they
iwnj be redeemed by the Government in GOLD at
any time alter Jive years. Many people suppose
that the Interest is only 5.20 per cent. This is a
mistake ; they pay Six jer cent. Interest.
2nd. Legal Tender notes or checks' upon Phila
delphia or New York that will bring Legal
Tenders, are what the Seferetary allows me to re
ceive. No doubt your nearest Bank wifi give you
a check or Legal Tenders for your country funds.
3d. The Bonds are sold at Par, the Interest to
commence the day you-pay the money.
4ih. lliave made arrangements with your nearest
Bank or Banker, who will generally tave tlrp
Bonds on hand. If not, you Can send the money
to me by Express, and I will send back the Bond’s
free of cost.
! ■ Stir. The Bonds pay Six' per cent. Interest in
I Gold, three per .cent, every, six months, on the
| first day of May and November lat tiro Mint in
i IMiiladelphia, or at any Sub-Treasury in New York
lor risewerc. If you have Coupon Bonds, all you
; have to do is to Cut the proper Coupon off each
| six months, and collect it yourself or give it to the
i Bank for collection. If-you have Begistcred
Bonds, you can give yourßaoka power of attorney
I to collect the interest for you.
! 6th, The duties on imports of all articles from
I abroad most bo {raid lit Gold, and this is the way
i Secretary Chase gets his gold. It is now being
[ paid Into the Treasury, at the rate of two Hundred
• Thousand Dollars, each day, which is twice, as
[.lunch us 9e needs to pay the Interest in Gold.
! 7th. Congress has provided that the Bonds shall
j be I’aid in Gold when doc,
f Bth. You can have either Coupon Bonds, paya
ble to the Bearer, or Registered Bonds payable to
your order. j
9th. The former ate in 50’s, 100’s, 500’s and
1000’s, —-the latter in same amounts, also ssooo’s
and $lO,OOO.
10th. No! Yoa'wUl not have to pay any taxes
on these Bonds if your - income from, them does
not exceed $600; and on all above $6OO you
| will only have'to pay one-half as much Income
j Tax as if your money was invested in Mortgages
!or other Securities. 1 consider the Government
i Bonds as Jirst uf all —all p:her Bonds are taxed
| one-quarter //er rent, to pay the Interest on the
! Government Bonds, and the Sdpremc Court of
[ the United States has just decided that no State,
or City, or County can lax Government Bonds. ■
, 11th. The present Ironclad debt of the United
i States is less than Three Hundred Millions,
[ including the seven and three-tenths Treasury
Notes : bat the Governriieijt owns enough more in
- the shape of Legal Tenders, Deposits in the Sub
! Treasuries, Certificates of Indebtedness, &c., to
; increase the debt to about eight or nine i mud red
, millions. Secretary Chiists Iras calculated that the
debt may reach on; thousand, seven hundred
! millions, If the Rebellion lasts eighteen months
I longer. It is. however, believed now that it will
j not last six months longer; but eveg if it does,
; our Natibfial Debt will be small compared with
' that of Great Brilian or France, whilst our rc
sonrees are vastly greatet, i
I 1 Jth, I hare no doubt that the revenue will not
only be ample to pay the ordinal}- expenses of the
Government and all Interest on the debt, hut
leave at least one hundred millions annually to
ward paying off-the debt; and that the Movemmcnt
will be able to get ou| of debt again as it has
Interest.
