PROCLAMATION BY TOR PRESIDENT.
A DAY OF THANK:-:GIVING AND PBAYER
WASHINGTON, July 15.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF TILE UNITED STATES 01
AMERICA:
A PROCLAMATION
It has pleased Almighty God to hearken to
the; supplications and prayers of an afflicted
people, and to vouchsafe to the Army and the
Navy of the United States victories on land
andon the sea, so signal. and so effective as to
furnish reasonable grounds for augmented con
fidence that the Union of these States will be
sustained, their Constitution preserved, and
their peace and prosperity permanently re
st wed
But these victories have been accorded not
without sacrifices of life, limb, health, and
liberty, incurred by brave, loyal, and patriotic
citizens. Dal:Lamle afflictions in every part of
the country follow in the train of these fearful
bereavements. It is meet and right to recog
nize and confess the presence of the Almighty
Father, and the power of His hand equally in
these triumphs and these sorrows.
Now, therefore, be it known, That I do set apart
Thera lay, the 6th 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 occa
sion in their customary places of worship, and
in the forms approved by their own con
science, and, render the homage due to the
Divine Majesty for the wonderful things He
has done in the nation's behalf; and invoke
the influence of His Holy Spirit to subdue
the anger which has produced and so long sus
tained a needless and cruel rebellion; to change
the hearts of the insurgents; to guide the coun
sels of the Government with wisdom adequate to
so great a national emergency; and to vita with
tender care and consolation throughout the
length and breadth of our land all those whb
through the vicissitudes of marches, voyages,
battles and sieges, have been brought to sutler
in mind, body or estate, and finally to lead the
*hole nation, through the paths of repentance
and submission to the Divine will, back to the
perfect enjoyment of Union and fraternal
peace.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand aod caused the seal a the United States
to be affixed. _ .
Done at the city of Waahington, this, the
15th day of July, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and
of the independence of the United States of
America the eighty eighth.

Wm. H. SETARD, Secretary of State.
A Corroboration
A gentlemma of great respectability, and a
citizen of New York, cllled to see us yesterday,
and, in the course of his conversation in re
ference to the mob in that city, very earnestly
declared that an investigation would prove
that at least three thousand rowdies and se
cessionists from B iltimore were engaged in the
riot in New York. It was asserted that the,
Democratic leaders of New York had beet
gaAering therefor weeks, and that the object
was to use the same material for the same pur
pose of resisting the draft and creating conster
nation and dismay all over the free States. We
did not deem it prudent to use this statement
in a public manner, fearing that our friend
might possibly be mistaken. Now, however,
his etatement is thus corroborated by a New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger:
"Mingling among the mob, and acting as
leaders and prompters, one sees strange faces that
nobody ever saw on the surface of .New York - before.
These fellows look as if they understood what
they are about. liertofore, when the mob
spirit would get for a while the upper hand,
there were always some prominent public men
somehow or other connected with it ; but it is
not so in this instance. There are ringleaders
plenty, but who they are or whence they came
nobody seems to know.
How TELE REBELS TREAT ABtiLITION EDITORS.
—The editor of the Fulton Republican published
at McConnehburg says, that while the rebels
occupied that town his cffice was pointed out to
them by the copperheads as an abolition con
cern. Several of the officers called upon him
and asked to see his files. After examining
them, the Lieutenant in command said, "I
see, sir, this is a Republican paper; you advocate
a vigorous pros,cution of the war, and are in
favor of sustaining your G..vernment in every
thing. [ like to see a man one thing cr the other."
Taking several copies of the paper, they left
without molesting anything in the office, to
the great indignation of the copperheads of that
place.
How BUCHANAN IS ESTEEMED IN LANCASTER.-
It is stated on good authority, that when the
body of General Reynolds reached lAncaster,
word was sent by one of his immediate rela
tives to Ex-President Bechananot to be pre
sent at his funeral To this we may add, that
the throng which attended the funeral of the
gallant dead, openly declared that " if the hypo
crite Buchanan attempts to disgrace the cortige which
follows a gallant hero to the grave, with has presence,
there would be two instead of one funeral."
THE COPPERHEADS have been wofully blue for
several days past, at the success of the Union
troops in the South-west, but the victories of the
New York Democracy give tone and temper to
their present feeling, and at most any hour of
the day, we can hear the copperheads congratu
lating themselves on the splendid uprising of
the people of New York. So the copperheads
have at last had a victory.
A Qualm Auswzasn.—The butternuts have
frequently asked why troops were kept in the
Northern states; why the 'Administration, and
those in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the
war, did not see to it that these men were in
the field. The New York riot will probably
simmer thete questions satisfactorily. If but
ternuts were loyal, law abiding men, there
would be no need for these troops in the North.
THE EMPLOYEES OF THE NORTHERN CENETAL
RAILROAD, residing at Baltimore, contributed
$lO9 to the relief of the wounded at the battle
of Gettysburg.
Tint wife of Governor Yates, of Illinois, has
teen presented a cartige and pair of horses,
worth $3,500, by citizens of Chicago:
Tits Hero of Gettysburg,
A hi. nd, who ieceutly visited the scenes
Wiwre the fedtlz ti yolT.:!rs, iu tlu vicluily of
a-tty6l)llg, vo , n such irraperis6,ble renown,
lam imparted t 1.16 some valuable information,
or at least some original thoughts in inference
.o that momentous struggle, which we deem
worthy of being convoyed to our readers. It
will be remembered that the advance of the
Army of the Potomac was led by Gen. Reynolds
No General officer in the Army of the Poto
mac, so well as Gen. Reynolds, understood the
geography of that region of country. He saw
at a glacce, that the poEsession of Cemetery Hill
was a paint on which the fate of battle de
peuded. There was no time for consultation.
The plan and its execution were twin thoughts,
conceived and born amid the roar of battle
A moment's pause might haTe been too late—
too . iate even to secure a decent retirement or
save his command from overwhelming slaughter.
Hence the impetuosity of the attack made by
Gen. Reynolds. Hence, after he had - fallen,
was it supposed that Gen. Reynolds had sa6ri-
feed himself in the enthusiasm of battle, when
by the aid of calmer reason, he might have
possibly passed through the struggle unscathed.
This is not the fact, however. Gen. Reynolds
cooly devoted himself to victory, because he
knew that the point which he had in view, the
result which he aimed at, involved the safety
of the Army of the Potomac. Had he faltered
jest at that moment—had any other man been
in the advance of the Army of the Potoma6,
the result might have been different. Cemetery
Hill would have fallen into the possession of
Lee—the Aria.y of the Potomac would have
been crushed—Pennsylvania and the entire
I northeast placed at the mercy of the invader.
Thus, after all, aro the great victories of
every war won. As with Reynolds on Cemetery
Hill, at the propitious moment the real hero
steps forth and gains the actual victory—and sad
to relate, such as diem too frequently are robbed
of their just honors, or in the decay of their bririf
hour of glory, cease to live and g.) down to the
graye, while those who remain monopolize
the fame of deeds in the stern enactment of
which they played no other i:art than that of
spectators. Had Gen. Reynolds not given the
rebels the first check on Cemetery Hill, nothing
thereafter could have withstood the impetuosity ,
of the charge of those finds. Lee's spies had
been over every foot of ground in the vicinity
of Cemetery Hill. The rebel chief understood
and properly valued the natural importance
of the position afforded by 'that hill. It was
no chance plan that drove the rebels to that
point. Neither was it mere fortune that in
duced Gen. Reynolds to make an attack just
there and then. He, too, understood the lo
cality. His native genius at a glance compre
hended the condition of affairs. He was im
pressed with the stupendous importance of the
position, and he struck the blow just in time to
check the foe—in time to save the Army of the Poto
mac from rout and annthi/ation
I I —Let it no longer, then, he credited, that
Gen. Reynolds fell a sacrifice to his own indis
cretion. Let it rather be fairly understood,
that he willingly sacrificed himself in order to
save an army of which ho commanded only a
portion. Gen. Reynoldt was undoubtedly im
pressed with the great risk he was undergoing,
when he delivered battle to the enemy. He
was tco good a soldier not to know that
when he gave battle he must be prepared to
accept death. Thus impressed, it is no wonder
that he hurled himself and his command on
the enemy like a thunderbolt. Then it was, that
the rebels cried out, "Great God, we are fighting
the Army of the Petorruw." Then it was, that
I the victory was won; and then, too, alas I was
it that Gen. Reynolds fell. Here we most pause
and leave to history the recording of the great
event 'connected with this glorious death. Our
object is only to rescue the name of General
Reynolds from the charge of indiscreet impetri
°sits, in making his assault for the capture and
possession of Cemetery Hill at the battle of
Gettysburg. That assault was the prompting
of a valor as dauntleis and a discretion as calm
as ever conti oiled a true soldier. Let this, for
the present, bo the epitaph of Gen. Reynolds,
and while Cemetery Hill stands, let it represent
the monument of his fame. Indeed, let that
hill hereafter be known as Mount Reynolds.
The Practical Results of Modern Demo
cratic Teaching.
The practical results which flow from the
theory that it is not criminal to teach resistance
to the laws, during a war for our national ex
istence, can now be observed in all their length,
breadth and depth. Democrats of the Judge
Woodward and Fernando Wocd ilk urge the
people to resist the conscription law, and cop
perheads cry out : "Let them alone, they have
committed no overt act; it is a violation of the
Constitution to arrest them ; if they actually
resist the laws, then punkh them." People
obey their suggestions and resist the laws, and
the result is, that many lose their lives, and
others—their poor, degraded, ignorant follow
ers, the scum of the country, who are dangerous
in proportion as they are degraded and ignorant
—are seized and punished, and Woodward
and the copperhead editors stand offend exclaim,
"Let us alone; you cant't say we did it " The
calmness with which these villain leaders stand
off arid see their deluded followers suffer tbe
penalty of the law, would put to blush the most
hardened criminal whose name is found in the
Newgate calendar ; would cause the cheek of
every inmate of the Tombs prison to tinge. H
Fernando Wood, the man who is really respon
sible for the riot in New York were 'arrested
to-day, we do not have a shadow of hope that
he would be convicted. He has done nothing
but talk, but intimate, but urge resistance to
the laws, in terms so vague that, though more
effective than an open recommendation, are
nevertheless, without the pate of any criminal
watute. Of the unreasonableness and atrocity
of the mob we need not speak. The same
spirit prevails which pervades all mobs; and
especially all mobs made up from the degraded
localities of our large cities. The attack on
the negroes, who are subject, like themselves,
to conscription, exhibits their ferocity.
.nd.) Wood, Rev. Chauncey Barr, who is a tool of Far
na
a few nights before the breaking
out of the mob, addressed the Democracy of
New York as follows:
For two years we have submitted to a des
potisno such as the English Government bee
not exercised for three or four hundred years,
the Austrian government dare not exercise
now---have we not been patient? Had we the
and blood of our ancestors, the Eicaludrels
o l f Washington. who talk of whipping us into
our holes, would long ere this have been driven
into such holes that nothing short of the gen
' oral resurrection of the dead would ever call
them forth. [Groat applause Coops - Bs has
passed an act of conscription, but the acts of
Congress are not necessary laws. This act is
very simple—it is merely a highwayman's call
on every American citizen for "$3OO or your
He." [Laughter and applause.] For one, I
have rot) $3OO, but I have a life, and if it goes,
it shall go in defence of the kind of lit erty that
my fathers established. [Cheers.]
Of course Mr. Burr is perfectly innocent ; be
only exercised the sacred coostituticnal right
of free speech. Had the military authorities
arrested him, every traitorous sheet down even
to our imbecile neighbor of the Tory Organ
would have howled at the proceeding as an
outrage.
Written for the Telegraph.
The Copperhead Fiasco
Our plot is a good plot—good friends—very good
plot—excellent friends.. SHAKESPEARE.
Aber it dtd'n't gist work right. HANS
Nothing can be plainer seen by the light of
results than that the "Northern Revolution,"
which has just fizzed out in New York, was
part and parcel of the rebel's game entrusted
to the Lanes of the New York copperheads for
the carrying out.
Little as we in-the North expected anything
like revolution, yet the Southern rebel papers,
and their co-laborers, the Dasher tory papers,
and (vaguely hinting) the New York copper
, head prints, all foreshadowed something of the
kind. How it was to commence no one knew,
for the tinion men here North had never the
slightest intention of attacking anybody, yet
still the copper organs blew the same pipe.—
"Be prepared" they said mysteriously,"despatic
rule may yet go too far. Freedom of the
'press i■ stricted—habeas corpus set snide—public
liberty at an end," and so forth, to the end of
the chapter.
The Southern and English papers prepared
the public • for a transfer of the rebellion to
Northern soil. r Our. armies shall give them a
tdste of what they have treated us to, and their
own people discontented under the tyranny of
Lincoln's Government will rise en masse for
their rights. The streets of the Northern
cities will run with blood. The fair harvest
fields of Pennsylvania will supply our noble
armies with forage and rations. Conscription
ban never be effected. The Northern erode:-
will dwindle away under Southern prowess,
desertion and disease, and they can never be re
plenished."
Lee was to carry ono end of this plank of the
copperhead platform by invading Pennsylvania I
and' demolishing the Army of the Potomac,
while his kindred traitors Wood, Brooks, Ben
nett and Co., of the New York papers who have
already gained for themselves the title of
"Lee's left wing," were to carry•the other.
Lee came on with his legions —into the Com-
berland Valley—just ns our farmers. were " for
the promised corn anxious," just as they were
taking down their scythes from the hooks, fit
ting the snathes and looking to the whetstones.
Least of all were they expecting eight or ten
legions of an invading army to take part with
them in the harvest work, and it was no won
der that some of them became alarmed. Lee
came on unexpectedly 'and devastated their
fieldi. But slowly and surely advanced the
veterans of the Potomac, at right angles to the
direction he took, and stopped his progress on
the famous field of Gettysburg. Ho met such a
reception as to induce him to retreat with a loos
of fully one third of his men. Meantime the
plotters in New York slackened not their
endeavors—mot ning after morning—evening
after evening the Express, (the most hateful of
them all), the World, the _Herald, the News and
the Journal of Commerce, assisted by "curs of low
degree," gave full cry against the conscription
and the administration, hoping all the time
that Lee would succeed in defeating the Army
of the Potomac—and afterwards at Washington
dictate terms that these wretched dastardly
traitors would be only too willing to accept.—
Teey had hoped that this would be the case
while they were procuring the necessary demor
alization amongst the crowded metropolitan
cities. They hoped to produce the nervous ex
citement necessary to induce submission—by
street mobs and murderous riots—and they
never relaxed their exertions to that end ; for
on the day before the riot in Ne A York broke
out, these papers were all of them filled with
drastic incentives to it.
But Lee 'failed aud.slunk back like a whipped
hound across his border, and the explosion in
New York became a fizzle.
The lowest classes of the population had been
stimulated with money and think to break out
in revolt—whilst the real inciters of the riot hid
themselves from view. The great city was out
raged, and surprised and maddened at the au
dacity of these creatures—met them in her
majesty and might, and subdued them, not
without loss of life on both sides, but largely
on the side of the rioters.
Thus the old story is repeated—these poor
Irish, German, and other laborers, have been,
disturbed from their ordinary avocations and
stimulated to frenzy by designing men—have
been driven to raise their hands against a gov
ernment that cares more kindly for their in
forests tban.any government ever yet known
to man. The leaders and inciters have hid their
traitorous heads from the ligh t of day while their
poor dupes haye been shot down in the stree4
in heaps by the orderly citizens in self defencs.
I blame the newspapers of New York, who
have hounded the populace on to t'reir own de
struction, and thus illustrated that never any
'rule can exist without some exception. Even
'the freedom of the press can be prostituted to
the vilest purposes. But let us thank God
that this is no worse—that it is not by
infinite degrees so bed as its vile authors hoped
for it. When, ah ! when will the people
gain sense enough to know how to discern the
true from the false amongst the 'emanations
Of tho daily newspaper press, which should be
their constant guide toithe right, but often
leads them toward destruction.

The following report was received at Head
quarters of the Army:
HEADQUARTERS OF DEPARTMENT OF SOUTH,
Mcrris Maid, July 12.
To Gen. H. W. Halkck, Commander-in-Chief.
Sin:—l have the honor to report that at 5
o'clock A. M., of the 10th inst., I made an st
upor' the enemy, fortified a position on the
south end of Morris Island, and after an en
gagement lasting three hours ant a quarter,
captured all his strongholds upon that part of
the Island and pushed forward my infantry to
within six hundred yards of Fort Wagner.
We now hold all the island except about one
mile on the north end, which_ includes Fort
Wagner and a battery on Cumming's Point,
mounting at the present time fourteen or fif
teen heavy guns in the aggregate.
The assaulting column was gallantly led by
Brig. Gen. Strong. It landed in small boats,
under cover of our batteries oa Folly Island,
and four Monitore, led by Rear Admiral Dahl
gren, which entered the main charms abreast
of Morris Island soon after our batteries opened.
The Monitors continued their fire during the
day, mostly itgainst Fort Wagner.
On the morning of the 11th inst., at day
break, an attempt was made to catry Fort
Wagner by assault. The parapets were gained
but the supports recoiled under the fire to
which they wets exposed, and could not be got
up. Our lc:s in both actions was about 150 in
killed, wounded and missing.
We have taken 11 pieces of heavy ordinance
and a large quantity of camp equipage.
The enemy's loss in killed, wounded and
missing is not less than 200.
Very respectfully your obdien't servant,
Q A. GILMORE,

*):ry
From the New York Times of to-day.]
A messenger brought information to the
Seventh regiment armory, at 6 o'clock last
evening, that the mob was in great strength
in the First avenue, between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets, apparently organizing, pre
paratory to moving upon a marauding expedi
tion. Col. Winslow, of the Fifth regiment,
(Duryea Zouaves,) then in command at the ar
mory, immediately ordered a detachment of
volunteers under arms, consisting of threecom
panics, comprising- an aggregate of 150 men,
and a battery bt two howitzers. Placing him
self at the head of this force, and taking with
him Major Robinson, and Col. Jardine, of the
Tenth regiment (Hawkins' Zouaves,) the
latter in command of the battery, Col. Wins
low led his command at the double quick
to the scene of the disturbances. Passing
down Nineteenth street, the howitzers were
brought into position,promptly unlimbered, and
trained up and down the First avenue, while
the infantry formed in lino to support them.
The locality abounds in tenement houses, where
the class of persons live of which the mob is
composed, and in these buildings the mass of
the rioters took refuge on the appearance of the
soldiers. From the roof and windows of every
house the mob at once opened an attack, deliv
ering a brisk and persistent fire upon the mili
tary of musketry and pistols, as well as a vol
ley of bricks and other missiles. To this assault
the soldiers replied, and the howitzers raked
the avenue up and down with canister, of which
ten rounds were discharged. It is estimated
that this fire killed as many as thirty persons,
and the effect was a partial dispersion of the
rioters, although some of the more bold among
them lurked behind the corners of the build
ings, whence they would sally out, discharge
their guns, and again go to cover.
The infantry force, meanwhile, although un
uniformed, and just enrolled for the emergency,
stood gallantly up to the work, loading with
rapidity and firing with precision at the rioters,
wherever they showed themselves, at window,
or upon rcof, or at the street corners. The
mob, in this instance, however, clearly had the
small force of soldiers at an advantage. Col.
Winslow had not men enough to make a charge
upon the buildings, and as many as ten of his
little command, after twenty minutes' fighting,
had already fallen—several being killed out
right. He reluctantly, therefore, ordered a re
treat, which was conducted with veteran cool
ness, nefflvithstanding the fact that as the
soldiers marched through Nineteenth street
they were followed for some distance by a
howling mob, who were left masters of the field.
Unfortunately Col. Winslow found it impossi
ble to bring away all the killed, and a few of
the bodies were left in the hands of the frenzied
mob. Among the dead were a Captain and
Lieutenant, both of whom had served with the
, Duryea Zottaves, and CO. tiardine was wounded
lin the thigh. HO was taken to the house of a
surgOon in Nineteenth street, whose door it was
necessary to force, and there left to be taken
care of.
The mob in this instance seemed to be ee, ,
bearkably well organized, firing at the word of l
command. I
About 11 o'clock the riot in Nineteenth street
and First avenue was renewed. Capt. Putnam
and Capt. Shelby, of the United States army,
with two field pieces and 150 men, repaired to
the scene. They were imarelted with stones
and brickbats from the top of houses and from
windows. They fired upon the mob and clear
ed the streets. The brickbats came so thick
from the houses that it became necessary to
give the order to turn the fire on the buildings.
Five rounds of grapeshot were fired, with de
structive elect. It is Impossible at this late
hour to give the number killed. The troops
remained ou the ground until 12,1. o'ciccX; at
which time perfect quiet reigned in the neigh
borhood.
The wounds received by Col. Jardine, at the
fight in the early part of the evening, are more
severe than was at first anticipated, and are
i likely to prove fatal.

two o'clock yesterday morning there was what
may be truly said to b 3 a "reign of terror"
throughout all that portion of the city. Several
buildings were fired, and a large number of
colored persons were beaten eo badly that they
lay insensible on the street for hours alter. Two
colored children at No. 69 Thompson street,
were shot and instantly killed. Men, women,
and children, in large numbers flocked to the
Eighth Precinct Station house for protection.
Over one hundred of them were there accom

—are reported to have come to the city in large
numbers, to make common cause with the Dead
Rabbits, Mackerelvillers and other leading spirits
of the riot, in their work of carnage and plun

golden opportunity of indulging their brutal
natares, and at the same time serving their

this afternoon.
It originatel in an assault on David Howe, at
a house in Prince street, where Howe had
called to serve notice that the resident had been
drafted.
Some loafers in the street interfered and beat
Howe severely, when he was rescued by a po
liceman, but not before he was badly but not
dangerously wounded.
In the meantime the mob rapidly gathered,
and a strong force of polies was called out,
when. bricks, stones, and other missiles were
thrown at them, by which Policemen Ostran
der, Winship and others were wounded.
The outbreak was speedily quelled, and sev
eral arrests were made.
As a precautionary measure against farther
riotous demonstrations, a company of regulars
from Fort Independence will be quartered in
the city tonight, and notices have been ir_suei
to the Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth regiments.
Notice has also been given to Capt Jones'
light battery and the First dragoons to be in
readiness for immediate service if called upon.
The city wears its usual quiet aspect thus far
this evening, and there are no 'indications of
further disturbance.
Oar authorities are determined to squelch
any outbreak at once.

AFFAIRS YESTERDAY.
Boma, July 15.
All is quiet this morning. Four or ilvai . r _
sons were killed last night and probably a.do zen
wounded; some seriously.
The most daring act of t.ne rioters was the
attacking of the armory, in Coor . „ er g rea t,
where a farce of military was statior j ed. When
the mob had beaten down the doors, it was
fired upon from a six pou - A der lcaded with can
ister. This effectually scattered the mob at
that point. One rioter was completely riddled
and fell dead at the d oor of the armory. ,
An old man eta riding on the stoop of his
house on Cooper shleet was mortally wounded,
and is now dead.
Three young women and three or four small
boys were wounded, but, not seriously.
The First dragoons appeared at nine o'clock
patroling the streets, and together with au in
fantry force overawed all further outbreak.--

Wasamasolf, July 15, 1,3..;
Contrary to the published statement tt,
execution of the draft in New York w.s
pended only by the uprising of the mob. i t
has not been ascertained here that any direct
have proceeded float this city pruloogits- 11 ,
suspension beyond the period when order shall
be restored, so that it can be prosecuted.
Recent events strengthen the belief that L.
object of Alexander H. Stephetis, same day;
ago, in asking permission to proceed to W ai l_
ington on board a Confedederate ves&l of ea r
to deliv,r an official c,mmunic,ti n fr,a:
Jeff. Davis to the President of the I.;,.ited
States, was to entrap our Government into at,
implied recognition of the assure , d Southern
nationality'; hence the refusal. And there is
authority for stating that since that time ro
question of peace has come before the Cabinet
'this idea, according to those who are presumed
to be conversant with executive affairs, is pre
cluded by the fact that no condition of bll ri
has yet existed rendering it necessary or proper
to formally entertain a propositioa of such an
important character. There seems, however,
to to no disagreement among the of c,T- of the
Cabinet that the best way to obtain an early
peace is to vigorously prnsecut3 the war. -
