PROCURATION BY THE PRESIDENT
A DAY OF THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER.
WASHINGTON, July 15.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
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
stored.
Bat these victories have been accorded not
without sacrifices of life, limb, health, and
liberty, incurred by brave, loyal, and patriotic
citizens. Dlmestic 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 ot 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
Thursday, 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
ecience, and render the homage due to the
Divine Majesty tor the wonderful things He
has done is the nation's behalf, and invoke
the influence of His Holy Spirit to subdre
the anger which has produced and so long sue
tabled a needless and cruel rebellion; to change
the hearts of the icier rgents; to guide the coun
sels of the Government with wisdom adequate to
so great a national emergency, and to visit with
tender - care and consolation throughout the
length and breadth of our land all those who
through the vicissitudes of marches,
voyages,
battled and sieges, have been brought to sutler
in mind, body or estate, and finally to lead the
whole 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 sod caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this, the
16th day of July, in the yettr of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and
of the independence of the United States of
America the eighty-eighth.

National Teachers , Association.
The assembling of the annual meeting of the
National Teachers' Association, on Wednesday,
Aug. sth, 1863, is beginning to attract general
attention, and promises to be .one of the meet
important conventions of the same body of men
ever held in this country. There was never
more need of wise councils in public convention,
than in the present crisis of our national affairs.
As the temptations of the cAmp, and the loose
ness of morals of the soldier's life, tend to the
depreciation of character and the ruination of
tion as it is imparted to the masses by the public
school system, for the good influence which can
alone counteract the increase of such an evil.
Hence the importance of each assemblages as
the one about to be convened at Chicago. We
all owe the cause of education the most earnest
support, and we therefore cheerfully render
every assistance in our power to secure the suc
cors of the National Teachers' Association.
Communications, seeking information in re
gard to the Teachers' National Convention, may
be addressed to W. H. Wells, City Superintend
ent of Schools, Chicago; John D. :Philimick,
Boston, and James Cruikshank, Albany, N. Y.
A Copperhead Plan of Reconstruction.
It is a favorite boast with such journals as
have uniformly sustained the south in her acts
of rebellion, that the reconstruction of the
national Union can only be effected by leaving
out entirely the New England States. In cer
tain portions of the north-west, this proposition
is calmly discussed by leading copperheads. It
is alleged that, unless the south is assured of
the acceptance on the part of the other States,
of such a plan, reconstruction will never be
achieviii, and the northwest cousequently iso
lated from "all the world and the rest of man
kind," as the free navigation of the Mississippi
will be refused to all States outside of the con
federacy. When we look at the proposition in
all its proportions,.we can only see how much
the south would gain. by reconstruction on such
a basis. J.tff Davis and his myrmidons' would
just secure all that they have yet failed to gain
in battle, by such a reconstruction of the Übiou.
The result could thus be stated:. In the Senate
the relative strength of each section would be
thirty southern to twenty-two northern votes; in
the House of Representatives ninety southern to
one hundred and thirteen northern votes, Thus one
House would be hopelessly gone, while twelve
votes changed would give a southern majority
in the other. It would not be difficult to
engage these twelve votes, In support of any ex
treme southern measure, as long as the inde
pendent men of the north elect such represen
tatives as be who is to vote for this dittrict
in the coming Congress. And still the plan
looks plausible. "You have a - majority in one
House, we a majority in, the other," say its
supporters; and then they cooly ask, "What
could be fairer ?"
But mark the real working of the plan. This
working is ably set forth in a pamphlet lately.
published by_Robert Dale Owen, one of the
ablest and most fearless Union. men in the.
Southwest. We quote Mr. Owen's own words
as follows :
"A-free State applies for admission. The bill
must pass the Senate. Will it pass? Slave
holders have to. decide that question. Will
they relinquish the balance of power which they
hold in their grasp? -While they retain their
reasons? Never ! A slave State for every free
State admitted.; that will be the rule. The
controlling majority in, the Senate, therefore,
perpetual.
"Think, next, of the nominations by the
President--a President of -course, who believes
in the justice, and in the perpetual- duration of
negro slavery—for none - other will be suffered'
to take his seat; 'nominations of-Cabinet
officers ; of Foreign Ministers and Consuls; oft
Judges of the Supreme Court ; of Generals In
the army; of men to all lucrative Postoffices ;
of Registers and Receivers, and all the long list,
of other nominations to offices in the gift of the
President and confirmatory by the Senate.
Will the name of one man pass the crdeal who
thinle6 human servitude a sin or an evil, or who
belie:is that "slavery is in tlis courso of ulti
mate extinction ?"
Such are the plans of ree,miluetiou which
we daily hear advocated by leading copperheads
in our own midst. When thus expuced, can
they be endorsed by loyal men?
The Element Composing the Mobs of
I=7l=ll
After carefully reading the reports detailing
the enormities of the New York mob—and
comparing the evidence as it came to us through
the columns of the New York press, we are
satisfied that a powerful element of the mob in
question, was compoled of ignorant and impul
sive foreign Germans and Irish. This fact,
however, is no evidence that the Germans or
the Irish as a class, were identified with the
outrages cf the New York mob; but it is a proof
of the extent to which bad men can control the
ignorant, and evidence, too, of the evil results
of passion when fired by bad whisky and con
trolled by worse counsel. The Democratic
leaders who control the mob in New York,
have no regard for the poor dupes who execute
their bloody plans. After the sanguinary work
has been finished—after the mob has defied the
law and menaced the social order and personal
security of the community, the very men who
first gave incentive to its fury, are the first
to denounce the actors in the crime, leaving
such as these to the clutches of the law, while
they, themselves, secure in their social position,
above all charge in their impassive identification
with the wrong, can reap whatever benefit there
is to be derived from such demonstrations, and
have themselves tented abroad as the great
leaders of the peopl,s. of a great city. This is
now Fernando Wooa's position. It is the posi
tion of Gov. Seymour, as well as that of every
Democratic leader in the city or State
of New York. They imagine that they
have used the mob to intimidate their partizan
opponents. They dream tbat the men in power
will accept the bloody orgies of the desperate
and ignorant frequenters of the purlieus of New
York, as a demonstration of the people, as an
evidence of virtuous indignation against
what they turbulently denounce as an
unjust and an impracticable law. The mob,
after it has done its work, and made its mark
in the blood of the people and the ashes of the
city; can be shot down in the path of its
wrong. That is no business of the instigatois
of the riot. Their business is to aehieve power,
to gather capital for party purposes; while the
dupes, the rash and the ignorant, are left to the
penalties of the law, or the more terrible pun
ishment which the necessities of the crisis at
the moment demand. The homes of the poor
wretches who conduct the business of their lead
ers, may be made thus destitute—the homes of
their victims may be left to utter -ruin, and
the nation itself may be menaced with. new
danger, so that party and the ambition of dem
agogues are subserved. •
In every instance, and freotreativ_ss if by lops ctmuluip areti uenign, rhonomes an property
of highly respectel loyal men were only assail,
ed, sacked. and destroyed. A mob, in the wild
excitement of the hour of its triumph and
power, has not time to discriminate. It is not
reasonable to suppose that such a mob will de
liberately discriminate in the destruction of
certain property, unless it is controlled iu its
action by deliberate preparation. This un
doubtedly wag. the case with the New York
mob. It destroyed only the property of .loyal
men. It did not attack the New York herald
or the Exprem offices, but it did attack the
bune estabtishment. It this is not proof that
the whole affair was a premeditated purpose to
attack the Government through the property
and persons of its loyal supporters, then the
mob had no object in view but the gratification
of a passion to revolt. But this evidence is too
clear, and while copperhead Democracy sur
vives, the atrocities of the New York mob will
remain on record as the proof of its affinities
with traitors.
The lesson inculcated by the mob at New
York, will have its effect all over the country.
Although, for a time, the tumultous ravings of
desperate men interte ' rred with the operations
of the law, that law has been vindicated, its
purpose left unimpaired, and those who opposed
it, made to suffer. True, innocent people have
also suffered. But even with this in its favor,
with a mighty city ahnok paralysed, and the'
authoritiei confronted with the most stupen
dous dangers on all sides, the mob did not
triumph, the law is still the same in power and
force; and it'will go' into' operation despite the
machinations of Wood, Seymour Sr. Co.
—We submit this lesson, drawn from the
Now York mots, to the people all over the
country. Nothing hts been gained by that
saturnalia. If ani wrong exists, it is the
wrong which flows from such demonstrations.
If any suffering is imposed upon any set of men,
it is that which springs from the passions of
men engaged in such riots. Half the energy
which was displayed in opposing the law and
creating such disturbances ,if used in a legitimate
and proper manner for the suppression of rebel
lion, would restore peac3 to the country, and
abolish the necessity of a draft. Let those who
contemplate engaging in similar outrages, re
member this fact.
The National Thankagivlleg • _
The Proclamation of the President setting
apart Thursday, the 6th day August, for a day
of National thanksgiving, praise and prayer will
find a ready response in the breasts of the loyal
millions of the North. Our stupendous victo
ries in the Southwest, our happy deliverance
from the horrors of a rebel invasion of the
North, and the evident decay of the rebellion
under the terrific blows so fast and heavily dealt
upon it, have given us good cause to be thank
ful to Him who holds the world as in the hollow
of His hand. The earnest and touching words
of the President are the languageof every loyal
heart, and we trust and believe that the ob
servance of the day so set apart will beruniver
sal, for the occasions of thanksgiving are spa
ct -
.
fic and manifold:.
L Every rebel army is this day in full flight
before a victorious Union force. Meade is pur
suing the remnant of Lee's army in Virginia.
Rosecrans has driven Bragg from Tennessee.
Grant has captured Pemberton's army at Vick--
bni g. Banks has ciptured the rebel forces un
der Gardner at Pert Malcom Prentiss, having
defeated Prieo eutl Marmaduke at Helena, is
pursnirg them through Arkansas, And Sher
man is in pursuit of Johnston in Mississippi.
11. Since the first of July the rebels have ken
vanquished at Getlysbuig, Vicksburg, Helena
and Port Hudssn, ova fifty thousand prisoners
have been captured, and the rebel loss in killed,
wounded and prisoners exceeds eighty thousand
men.
111. The rebels are now besieged at Charles
ton. All their works on Morris Island except
two batteries have been captured, and with the
taking of these, which is regarded as certain, if
not already accomplished, Sumter must fall.
IV. Finally. The Mississippi river is now
open from its source to the Gulf of Mexico.—
The dispatches from Gen. Banks, announcing
the fall of Port Hudson, came to Washington
from NtlW Orleans by way of the Mississippi.
Professor McCoy.
We notice by our southwestern exchanges,
that Professor M'Coy is addressing large con
courses of people in that region, in support of
the war Ad defence of the Government. At
Nashville, on the 4th of July, Professor McCoy
delivered one of his splendid orations, which
is referred to by the journals of that city as
having been unsurpassed by any similar effort
ever made in Tennessee. Daring the course of
his oration. Professor McCoy related the follow
ing, which we think will be gratifying infor
mation, so far as the-fortitude of the patriot is
concerned, to many of our readers:
Professor McCoy stated an as illustration of
the spirit of self-sacrifices in which the cause of
the country should he supported, an example
which would remind every one of the case of
Charles Carrol, of Carrolton. The President's
Proclamation, against which so many revolted,
who never owned a slave in the world, had not
shaken the loyalty of the largest slave-holder
in the world. Gov. Aiken, of South Carolina,
who owned thirteen thousand slaves, was, at
this moment, rotting in the Libby Prison, at
Richmond, because of his loyalty to the Nation al
Government of Washington. Gov. Aiken said,
in substance, (and three Colonels, now in this
audience, will vouch for it): "Perish my claims
to thirteen thousand slaves; but save—oh save
the Government of my Country.—Nashale
Unwn.
—Professor McCoy is at the present time
making a tour of the State of Ohio, addressing
vast assemblages of people and doing a largo
amount of good.

A Few Plain Questions.
Written .for the Tekgraph.]
Is this a war for the rich?
Is it a war for negroes
Who pay the taxes to conduct the war?
Is it not those whose incomes exceed $600?
Does $3OO relieve from the draft ? If men
are not raised by the first draft, $3OO more
must be paid to exempt from each subsequent
draft.
If money and not men is alone raised, and
the South prevail and slavery is establiihed in
.the Free States, who will suffer inost? Cannot
Northern capitalists purchase negro slaves with
the same capital as well as Southerners, and
employ slaves in coal, railroad, iron and other
companies. What will then become of laborers

Wide pay from Si to $2 per day for their labor
when the interest on the price of a negro slave
is but from $4O to $6O per year ? It is not then
the free negroes, for they'cannot compete with
freemen of the North, that our workmen have
to dread. but the establishment of slave labor
which will, as it has ever done, destroy not only 1 1
free labor,
but the noble institutions springing
from and fostered by it for the dissemination of
learning, arts and the amelioration of the hu

SOLDIER STABBED AND ROBERD.-A. soldier,
named Frederick Helmbold, belonging to the
one hundred and fifty-seventh Pennsylvania
regiment, was brought to the Central guard
house on Sunday morning, in an almost insen
sible condition, having been found near the
depot by some of the police. He stated that
he had been attacked by:a party of sailord,
who stabbed him in the arm, and knocked him
down. In attempting to defend himself he
was also stabbed in the foot, the weapon mak
ing an ugly wound.
While lying in the street in an insensible
condition, one of the city pa , senger cars ran
over him, mashing, his arm in a shocking mau
-1 net. The services of a surgeon were called in,
and Helmbold was made as comfortable as pos
sible, although the doctor states belnay yet
Dave to lose his arm.
The, ruffians also robbed Helmbold of abotit
forty dollar§ and a watch. It is to b 6 hoped
the officers of the law will soon have the
wretches in custody.— }Vaahingtoh Chronick.

SPECIAL DISPATCHER PROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Thursday, July 16.
Surgeon Gen. Hammond left to-day for Get
iysburg to look after the wounded there. About
1 5,000 Union and 6,000 rebel wounded yet re
main in the hospitals in that vicinity. They
are being removed as rapidly as possible to
Northern cities. Supplies of all kinds are
plenty.
Pereons from the vicinity'of Leesburg report
that Lee's headquarters, yesterday morning,
were at Bunker Hill, half way between Mar
tinsburg and Winchester. The advance of his
army bad then reached the latter place, the
rear being at Hattiesburg.
The rebel army, which is massed between
these two places, though somewhat disorganized
by the hurried retreat, is still in good fighting
condition. Rebel officers say that Lee will not
make another stand this side of Richmond, un
less attacked by Gen. Meade. He has sent his
trains down the Shenandoah valley to Culpep
per, and is following rapidly in the same direc
tion with hia army. Before this is in print it is
probable that our cavalry will have "gobbled"
a portion of the rebel train.
WAsantarow, Thursday, July IS -Ili P. M.-
From undoubted authority I learn that a large
body of our cavalry, who crossed the river yes
terday in pursuit of the rebels, are now occupy
icbs, all the passes of South Mountain as far south
asOhester Gap.
From the same source I have it that the head
of the enemy's column Was this morning
. at
Front Royal, and the entire rebel army were
moving down the Valley as rappidly as possible,
their cavalry, artillery, infantry and baggage
trains mixed up in utter confusion—no military
order or discipline being apparent. A portion
of our cavalry were close on their heels, and, 'I
whenever an opportunity offered, wore barrage- 1
ing them in a manner exceedingly annoying.
Other rartions of our cavalry are in the!
mountains between Harper's Ferry and Gettys
burg, and are heurly, bringing in hundreds of de
serters and willing prisoners. Yesterday over
three hundred were brought in.
