Proclamation by the President.
A DAY 01' THANKSGIVING AND I'RAYTR
WAsuisoTos, July 15.
By the President of the United States
of Ameelea :
I=
It has pleased .Almighty God to
harken to the supplications and pray
ers of an afflicted people, and to vouch
safe to the Army and the Navy of the
United States victories on land and on
the sea, so signal and so effective as to
furnish reasonable grounds for aug
mented confidence that the Union of
these States will be sustained, their
Constitution preserved, and their peace
and prosperity permanently restored.
But these victories have been ac
corded not without sacrifice of life,
limb, health, and liberty, incurred by
bravo, loyal, and patriotic citizens.—
Domestic afflictions in every part of
the country follow in the train of
these fearful bereavements. It is meet
and right to recognize and confess the
presence of the Almighty rather, and
the power of his hand equally in these
triumphs and these sorrows.
Now, therefore, be it known, That I
do set apart Thursday, the Gth day of
August next, to be observed as a day
of national thanksgiving, praise, and
prayer,
and I invite the people of the
United States to assemble on that oc
casion in their customary places of
worship, and in the forms approved
by their own conscience, and render ,
the homage due to the Divine Majesty
for th wonderful things He has
done in the nation's behalf, and invoke
the influence of his Holy Spirit to sub
due the anger which has produced and
so long sustained a needless and cruel
rebellion; to change the hearts of the
insurgents; to guide the counsels of
the Governmentwitb wisdom adequate
to so great a national emergency, and
to visit with tender care and consola
tion throughout the length and breadth
of our land all those who through the
vicissitudes of marches, voyages, bat
tles and sieges, have been brought to
suffer in mind, body or estate, and fin
ally to lead the whole nation, through
the paths of repentance and submis
sion to the Divine will, back to the
perfect enjoyment of Union and fra
ternal peace.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at this city of Washington,
this, the 15th day of July, in the year
of our Lord ono thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-three, and of the Inde
pendence of the United States of
America the eighty eighth.
[L. s.] ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

John Brough on "Peace" Democrats
Great Union Meeting at Trallandig-
ham's Home
The Union meeting held at Dayton,
Ohio, on the 4th of July, was most en
thusiastic. John Brough and Colonel
Charles Anderson, Union candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant Govern
or, made speeches. Mr. Brough was
introduced by the chairman as "the
next Governor of Ohio," and congrat
ulated the vast multitude that the res
toration of the country to its former
unity and glory - was near at hand.—
After denouncing the rebellion as it
deserves, he added: "This is not of
our seeking, and we have not been
parties to it."
Mr. Brough paid his respects to the
"peace" Democrats in the following
terms :
"Your celebrated Peace Convention
of New York passed its peace resolu
tions, which wondered down into Dix
ie and then came back to you spurned
andi spit upon. Next your Peace Con
vention of Ohio passed their resolu
tions, and sent them down to Dixie,
and they were spurned more fiercely
than those that went before, and well
they might be, for they were not up
to the New York standard. [Laugh
ter.] Now, my Democratic friends,
how many of you . have taken and read
those twenty-three resolutions? If
any, what have you found ? You have
found all of them negative in diame
ter. They are against the war,
they
are against the prosecution of the war,
they are against the administration,
they are against military arrests, they
are against military prosecutions, they
are against everything they could
find to allege against the government
of the North. But there is not one
line o , syllable condemnatory of this
rebellion, or of' the men who put it in
force. Not ono single word! Your
own Government is denounced, quar
reled with and proclaimed the most
tyrannical; your own people are
maligned and abused, but not one
word against those men who struck
down the best Government the world
ever saw, and who are seeking to per
petuate an oligarchy. [Long and con
tinued applause.] Did these leaders—
for understand me, when I speak of
this matter I speak of leaders not of
the masses, for my experience in the
Democratic party is, that the masses
arc as honest as any people that ever
walked on the earth— did these lead
ers who drew up. these resolutions,
Kish to conceal the fact that they were
sympathisers with this rebellion, and
that they were opposed to putting it
down? Undoubtedly they were sym
pathisers, but they lacked that great
element of 'character which belongs to
every man who is a man—they lack
ed the courage to say So; but they
left it on the face-of the resolutions
BO
plain that he who runs may read."
Fighting. Democrats
, Mr. Brough continued:
“Every gallant man who is prose
cuting the war in the lead or the army
on the bloody plains of Pennsylvania,
Tenn., or Mississippi, is a Democrat,
bred and born. [Cheers.] My friend
Thurman, in a speech the other day,
said that McClellan was removed be
cause he was a Democrat, while Rose
crans, who was a Republican, was
reaping all the glorious of the war.—
[Laughter.] I• am sorry that. brother
Thurman has not read history better
than that. [Renewed laughter.] Bless
my soul, Rosey 'has always been a
Democrat, and a worker in the party.
Very •many of the men in the ranks
are Democrats, and while they are
fighting the battles of the country,
you stay at home carping, and say
you cannot do anything because Re
publicans are at the head of the Gov
ernment. That is not worthy of you.
And when a man comes and puts that
argument into your car, you should
put another down his throat. I leave
you to determine what that should be.
[Loud and continued applause.] If
you say we shall not eNecute a law
because it was not passed by a Con
gress which had not a majority of our
political party, how long will we re
main a country? Are you prepared
to say that any law passed by a ma
jority of your Legislature, that is not
of your party, shall not receive your
support? If you are prepared to say
this thing by word, or thought, or
act, then you are a secessionist as bit
ter as any man armed against the
United States in the South. You are
aiming at the destruction of yout• Go
vernment the moment you allow fealty
to party to usurp the place of obed
ience to it, and of the duty you owe to
the constituted outhorities of the coun
try.
Vallandigham's Case.
.R(7)11/ of the President to the Ohio Com
WM
WASUINUTON, D. C., June 29, Vt.
Gentlemen : The resolutions of the
Ohio State Convention, which you pre
sent me, together with your introduc
tory and closing remarks, being in po
sition and argument mainly the same
as the resolutions of the Democratic
meeting at Albany, New York, I refer
you to my response to the latter as
meeting most of the points in the for
mer. This response you evidently
used in preparing your• remarks, and 1
desire no more than that it be used
with accuracy. In a single reading of
your remarks, I only discovered one
inaccuracy in matter which I suppose
you took from that paper. It is where
you say, "The undersigned are una
ble to agree with you in the opinion
you have expressed that the Constitu
tion is different in the time of insur
rection or invasion from what it is in
time of peace and public security."
A recurrence to the paper will show
you that I have not expressed the
opinion you suppose'. I expressed the
opinion that the Constitution is differ
ent in its application in cases of rebel
lion or invasion, involving the public
safety, from what it is in times of pro
found peace and public security; and
this opinion I adhere to, simply be
cause by the Constitution itself, things
may be done in the one case which
may not be done in the other.
I dislike to waste a word on a mere
ly personal point, but I must respect
fully assure you that you will find
yourselves at fault should you ever
seek for evidence to prove your as
sumption, that I "opposed in discuss
ions before the people the policy of the
_Mexican war."
. _
You say : "Expunge - from the Con
stitution this limitation upon the pow
er of Congress to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus, and yet the other guar
antees of personal liberty would re
main unchanged." Doubtless, if this
clans.° of the Constitution, improperly
called, as I think, a limitation upon
the power of Congress, were expung
ed, the other guarantees Avould remain
the same; hat the question is, not hoW
would those' guarantees stand with
that clause out of the Constitution, but
how they stand with that clause ,re
maining in it, in eases of rebellion or
invasion, involving the public safety.
If the liberty could be indulged of ex
punging that clause, letter and spirit,
I really think the constitutional argu
ment would be with you.
My general view on. this question
was stated in the Albany response.
and hence I do not state it now. I
only add that, asseem3 to me, the ben
efit of the habeas corpus is the great
means tbrrugh which the guarantees
of personal liberty
are conserved and
made available in the last resort; and
corroborative of this view is the fact
that Mr. Vallandigham, in the very
ease in question, under the advice of
able lawyers, saw not where else to go
but to the habeas corpus. But by the
Constitution the benefit of the writ of
habeas corpus itself may be suspend
ed, when in eases of rebellion and in
vasion the public safety may require
it.
You ask, in substance, whether I
really claim that I may override all
the guaranteed rights of individuals,
on the plea of conserving the public
safety---when I may choose to say the
public safety requires. This question,
divested of the phraseology calculated
to represent me as struggling for an
arbitrary personal prerogative, is either
simply a question who shall decide, or
an affirmation tht nOOO.l y shall decide,
what the public safety does require in
cases of rebellion or invasion. The
Constitution contemplates the ques
tion as likelyato occur for decision, but
it does not expressly declare who is to
decide it. By necessary implication,
when rebellion or invasion comes, the
decision is to be made, from time to
time ; and I think the man whom, for
the time, the people have, under the
Constitution, made the commander-in
chief of their army and navy,, is the
man who holds the power and bears
the responsibility of making it. If he
uses the power justly, the same people
will probaby justify him ; if he abuses
it, he is in their hands, to be dealt
with by all the modes they have re
served to themselves in the Constitu
tion.
The earnestness with which you
that persons can only, in times of
rebeiffon, be lawfully dealt with, in
accordance with the rules for criminal
trials and punishments in times of
peace, induces me to ,add a word to
what 1 said on that point in the Alba
ny response. You claim that men
may, if they choose, embarrass those
whose duty it is to combat a giant re
bellion and then he dealt with only in
turn as if there were no rebellion.—
The Constitution itself rejects this
view. The military arrests and deten
tions which have been made, including
those of Mr. Vallandigham, which arc
not different in principle from the oth
er, have been for PREVENTION, and not
for PUNISIIMENT—as irjunctions to stay
injury—as proceedings to keep the
peace—and hence, like proceeding's in
such cases and for like reasons, they
have not been accompanied with in
dictments, or trials by juries, nor, in a
single case, by any punishment what
ever beyond what is purely incidental
to the prevention. The original sen-
OM
ten cc of imprisonment in Mr. -Vahan
digham's case was to prevent injury to
the military service only, and the
modification of it was made as a less
disagreeable mode to him of securing
the. same prevention.
I am unable to perceive en insult to
Ohio in the case of Mr. Vallandigham.
Quite surely nothing of this sort was
or is intended. I was wholly unaware
that Mr. Vallandigham was, at the
time of his arrest, a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor,
until so informed by your reading to
me the resolutions of the Convention.
I am grateful to the State of Ohio for
many things, especially for the brave
soldiers and officers she has given in
the present national trial to the armies
of the Union.
You claim, as I understand, that ac
cording to my own position in the Al
bany response, Mr. Vallandigham sho'
be released; and this because, as you
claim, he has not damaged the milita
ry, service, by discouraging enlist
ments, encouraging desertions, or oth
erwise; and that if he had, he should
have been turned over to the civil au
thorities under the recent actAf Con
gress. I certainly do not know that
Mr. Vallandigham has specifically, and
by direct language, advised against
enlistlents, and in favor of desertion
and resistance to drafting. We all
know that combinations, armed in
sonic instances, to resist the arrest of
deserters, began several months ago;
that more recently the like has ap
peared in resistenee to the enrollment
preparatory to a draft; and that quite
a number of assassinations have oc
curred from the same animus.' These
had to be met by military force, and
this again has led to bloodshed and
death. And now, under a sense of re
sponsibility more weighty and endur
ing than any which is merely official,
I solemnly declare my belief that this
hindrance of the military, including
maiming and murder, is due to the
course in which Mr. Vallandigham has
been engaged, in a greater degree than
to any other cause; mid is duo to him
personally in a greater degree than to
any other one man. These things have
been notorious, known to all, and of
course known to Mr. Vallandigham.—
Perhaps I would not be wrong to say
they originated with his especial
friends and adherents. With perfect
knolwedge of them he has frequently,
if not constantly, made speeches in
Congress and before popular assem
blies; and if it can be shown that, with
these things staring him in the face,
he has ever uttered a word of rebuke
or counsel against them, it will be a
fact greatly in his favor with me, and
one o which, as vet, I am totally igo
rant. When it is known that the
whole burden of his speeches has been
to stir up men agaisnt the prosecution
of the war, and that in the midst of
resistance to it he has not been known
in any instance to counsel against
such resistance, it is next to impossi
ble to repel the inference that he has
counseled directly in favor of it. With
all this before their eyes, the Conven
tion you represent have nominated
Mr. Vallandigham for Governor of
Ohio, and both they and you have de
clared the purpose to sustain the Na
tional Union by all Constitutional
means. But, of course, they, and you,
in common, reserve to yourselves to
decide what arc Constitutional means,
and, unlike the Albany meeting, you
omit to state or intimate that, in your
opinion, an army is a Constitutional
means of saving the Union against a
rebellion, or even to intimate that you
are conscious of an existing rebellion
being in progress with the avowed ob
ject of destroying that very Union.—
At the same time,_ your nominee for
Governor, in whose behalf you appeal,
is known to you and the world to de
clare against the 'use of an army to
suppress the rebellion. Your own at
titude, therefore, encourages deser
tion, resistance to the draft, and the
like, because it teaches those who in
cline to desert and escape the draft, to
believe it is your purpose to protect
them, and to hope that you will be
come strong enough to do so. After
a personal intercourse with you, gen
tlemen of the committee, I cannot say
I think you desire this effect to follow
your attitude; but I assure you that
both friends and enemies of the Union
look upon it in this light. It is a sub
stantial hope, and by consequence, a
real strength to the enemy. It is a
false hope,' and one which you would
willingly dispel. I- will make the way
exceedingly easy. I send you dupli
cates of this letter, in order that you,
or a majority of you, may, if you
choose, endorse your names upon one
of them, and return it thus endorsed
to me, with the understanding that
those signing are thereby committed
to the following propositions, and to
nothing else:
1. That there is now a rebellion in
the United States, the object and ten
dency of which is to destroy the na
tional Union; and that, in your opin
ion, an army and navy is Constitution
al means for suppressing that rebel
lion.
2. That no one of you will do any
thing which in his own judgnient will
tend to hinder the increase or favor
the decrease, 'or lessen the efliciency"of
the army and navy, while engaged in
the effort to suppress the rebellion;
and
3. That each of you will, in his
sphere, do all he can to have the offi
cers, soldiers, and seamen of the army
and navy, while engaged in the effort
to suppress the rebellion, paid, fed,
clad, and otherwise well provided for
and supported.
And with the further understanding
that upon veeeiving the letter and
names thus endorsed, I will cause them
to be published, which publication
shall be, within itself, a revocation of
the order in relation to Mr. Vallandig
ham.
It will not escape observation that
I consent to the release of Mr. Vallan
digham upon terms not embracing
any pledge from him or from others,
as to what ho will or will not do. I
do this because he is not present to
speak for himself, or to aulhorie oth
ers to speak for him; and hence, I
shall expect, that on returning, ho
would not put himself practically in
antagonism with the position of his
friends. But. I do it chiefly because I
thereby prevail on other influential
gentlemen of Ohio to so define their
position as to be of immense value to
the army—thus more than compensa
ting for the consequences of any ink
take in allowing Mr. Yallandigham to
return, so that, on Elie whole, the pub
lie safety will not have suffered by it.
Still, in regard to Mr. Vallandigham
and all others, I must hereafter, as
heretofore, do so much us the public
service may scowl to require. I have
the honor to be respectfully yours,
A. LINCOLN
The Rebels in Pennsylvania.
The Franklin Repository describes at
length the career of the rebels in our
border counties. Their freaks, hu
mors, and prejudices, along with a
number of their outrages upon property
and life, are told graphically. From
an interesting passage we extract:
'Even intelligent rebel officers in
sisted that Lincoln was a fugitive in
Boston, and dare not occupy his capi
tal, and the rank and file were regaled
with that and equally absurd 'false
hoods. Others declared that he was
habitually intoxicated, and unable to
attend to his official duties because of
his intemperance. Those men were
evidently taugitt to regard. Lincoln as
brutal and barbarous in an eminent
degree, and they were amazed to find
the loyal of all parties alike respecting
him and the Government.
Rev. Mr. Pryor, father of the blus
tering General Roger A. Pryor, who
didn't fight Potter when in Congress,
was with Lee as chaplain, and seemed
to have a general supervision of the
piety of the army. Lie represented
the progress of religion as eminently
satisflictory, and seemed to regard the
rebels as perfectly Cromwellian in
morals. True, they would steal ne
groes and from negrocs, and anything
else, from a ten-penny nail to a six
horse team; but they were neverthe
less a model army, according to Pry
or, in all the attributes of Christian
character. Our people generally tho'
that the scale of Zion must be very
low down South.
The discipline of the rebel army was
admirable. No private or subaltern
dared to disregard an order in pres
ence of his super:or, or where his su
perior officer was lickley to be advised
of it. When the rebel columns filed
through Chambersburg, they marched
with the utmost order and decorum,
and laughing, talking loudly or sing
ing was not'indulged in.
Some of the Border State, and most
of the more Southern rebels, bad ra-
Lhefpeculiar conceptions of the Penn
sylvania Dutch. Quite a number were
astonished to find our people speaking
English, as they supposed that the
prevalent language was the German.
At first, when they attempted derisive
remarks, they would imitate the bro
ken English of the Germans; and
judging from Ewell's demand for
twenty five barrels of sourkrout at a
season when it is unknown in any
country, even the commanding officers
must have considered our . people as
profoundly Dutch. It would require
an intensely Dutch community to sup
ply sourkrout in July. Our farm
buildings and especially our large and
flue barns all through the valley, at
once excited their antonishment and
admiration. Quitti a number of offi
cers visited the barn of the editor as a
matter of curiosity, although there
arc many in the valley much larger
and quite as well:finished• 'The pri
vate soldiers generally concluded that
it must be the church of sonic very
large denomination in this communi
ty; and the out-buildings about it,
such as chicken house, hog pen, car
riage house, &e., were generally sup
posed,to be servants' houses, and very
neat ones!
Mr. Strite, it peaceful and inoffen
sive citizen, was cruell)* murdered by
sonic of the rebel soldiers of Hill's
corps, on his farm, located near the
Greencastle road, throe miles front
town. He was standing in his yard
when three of the villains approached
him and demanded his Money. Ile
immediately surrendered it. Soon of
two more men came to him, mak
ing a similar domand. The murderers
buried his body in a dung heap, and
then fled. Mr. Strite leaves a large
family. The shocking manner of his
death occasioned the most profound
indignation wherever its became known.

CIRCULAR NO. 47
No. I. Drafted men become soldiers
in the service of the United States by
the fact of their names having been
drawn in the draft. The notification
served upon them by the Provost Mai.
shal is merely an announcement of the
fact and an order fur them to report
for duty at a designated time and
place.
2. The following opinion of the Hon.
William Whiting, Solicitor of the War
Department, is published for the in
formation of all concerned :
"When a person has been drafted,
in pursuance of the Enrollment Act of
March 3d, 1303, notice of such draft
must be served within ten days there
aftel• by a written or printed notice,
to be served on him personally, or by
leaving a copy at his last place of resi
dence, requiring Lint to appear at a
designated rendezvous to report for
duty. Any person failing to report
for duty after notice left at his last
place of residence, or served on him
personally, without furnishing a sub
stitute or paying $3OO, is pronounced
by law to be a deserter. He may be
arrested and held 'for trial by court
martial and sentenced to death."
If a person after being drafted and
before receiving notice deserts, the no
tice may still be served by leaving it
at his last place of residence, and if ho
does not appear in accordance with
the notice or furnish the substitute or
pay the $3OO, he will be in law a de
serter, and must be treated according
ly. There is no way or manner in
which a person when once enrolled
can escape his public duties, and when
and after, whether present or absent,
whether he changes his residence or
absconds, the rights of the United
States against him are secured, and it
is only by the performance of his duty
to the country, that he twill escape lia
bilities to re treated as a criminal.
