A DAY OF THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE.
The following eloquent and appropriate pro.
clamation, appointing a day of general thanks
giving and praise, has just been issued from
the Executive office of Pennsylvania. There is
something in the composition and tone of this
production, unlike any other proclamation
on the same subject which has ever issued
from the same department, and we cannot but
commend both its elegance of diction and really
eloquent sentiment :
PENNSYLVANIA, SS
In the name and by the authority of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, ANDREW G. CURTIN, Gov
ernor of said Commonwealth.
PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, every good gift is from above
and comes down to us from the Almighty,

of every people to render thanks for His mer
cies ; Therefore I, ANDREW G. CURTIN,
Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia, do recommend to the people of this Com
monwealth, that they set apart
THURSDAY, 28zu OF NOVEMBER NEXT,
as a day of solemn Thanksgiving to God, for
having prepared our corn and watered our fur
rows, and blessed the labors of the husbandman,
and crowned the year with His goodness, in
the increase of the ground and the gathering
in of the fruits thereof, so that our barns are
filled with plenty : AND for having looked fa
vorably on this Commonwealth and strengthen
ed the bars of her gates and blessed the chil
dren within her, and made men to be of one
mind, and preserved peace in her borders ;
Beseeching Him also on behalf of these United
States, that our beloved country may have de
liverance from these great and apparent dan
gem wherewith she is compased, and that He
will mercifully still the outrage of perverse, vio
lent, unruly and rebellious people, and make
them clean hearts, and renew a right spirit
within them, and give them grace that they
may see the error of their ways and bring forth
fruits meet for repentance, and hereafter, in all
godliness and honesty, obediently walk in His
holy commandments, and in submission to the
just and manifest authority of the republic, so
that we, leading a quiet and peaceable life, may
continually offer unto Him our sacrifice of prmi2o
and thanksgiving.
®Given under my hand and the g reat seal
of the State at Harrisburg, this six

DEATH OF SENATOR BAKER
The announcement we make to-day, under
our telegraphic summary, of the death of Sen
ator Baker, Colonel of the California regiment,
which occurred in the battle near Leesburg,
Va., will elicit the profound regret of every
loyal man in the country. A more daring or
chivalrous soldier than Col. Baker has not drawn
a sword in this contest, nor had any man so
blended in his character the essential qualities
of soldier and statesman, orator and sage.
Cel. Baker was a nativeof England, but was
brought to this country by his father when he
was yet a youth, and for many years resided in
the city of Philadelphia. He studied law in
that city, and then removed west, making the
state of Illinois his home. In 1845 he was
elected to Congress. Immediately after his
election, the Mexican war commenced, when he
raised a regiment and went out to reinforce
Gen. Taylor. He returned home as a bearer of
despatches, resumed his seat in Congress, which
he resigned to join his regiment. He was at
the seige of Vera Cruz, at the battle of Cerro
Gordo, and when Gen. Shields was disabled,
Col. Baker took command of his brigade during
the war. After the war, he was again elected
to Congress from Illinois, for the session of
1819-'5O. He left Illinois at this period in the
service of the Panama railroad company, and
returned again with his health and fortunes
sadly impaired. In 1852 he settled in Califor
nia, and in San Francisco, took a high position
as a lawyer. About one year ago, Col. Baker
removed to Oregon, and immediately after his
arrival he was elected to the United States
Senate.
Yesterday the life of Cot Baker was given to
his country, while rallying a regiment of loyal
troops. It was a sad though brilliant ending of
a life so eventful and glorious.
THE REBELS IN KENTUCKY have the advan
tage of the loyal citizens in the fact that when
a Union man leaves his home to fight for the
government, he expects his secession neighbors
to do him all the harm they can. He may ex
pect to find his house and stacks burnt, his ne
groes and horses stolen, and his cattle killed.—
Bat the secesh feels that the war is being carried
on by the government upon humanitarian prin
ciples, and that his property is safe. He is not
afraid the Union men will burn him out, confis
cate his negroes, slaughter his stock or insult
his family. The consequence is, while the
Union men feel under obligations to act as
Home Guards, the secesh proceeds to join the
armies of their friends.
Tag Board of Supervisors of Detroit, Michi
gan, has appropriated $17,000 for the families
of volunteers.
'RE PATRIOT AND UNION splurges in an article
this morning, in which it misrepresents au arti
cle in reference to its course which appeared in
the Philadelphia Press yesterday. In order
that our readers may see how just the strictures
of the Press were in relation to the course of
the Patriot, we give the words of the Press.
That journal observed that the Harrisburg
Patriot and Union, a paper that daily shows its
hostility alike to patriotism and the Union, is
horror-stricken because the Press, in referring
to the West Chester lefersonian, insisted that
that and all organs of treason should be crushed
—if not by the courts, then by the military
arm of the Federal Government. On the 17th
instant, the Patriot and Union said :
Here is a deliberate attempt to deprive a citi
zen of the right of the benefits of a trial by a
jury of his peers, the most sacred right that at
taches to individuals, and the one most jealously
guarded in every land whose liberty is known,
and its blessings appreciated.
It is a safe rule of law that every one should
be considered innocent until proved guilty, but
according to the Press, if a reckless politician
chooses to denounce an individual, and no Jef
freys can be found infamous enough to convict
him when guiltless, the military arm must be
invoked, civil law overridden, and the worst
kind of despotism established to gratify the
spleen of a sinking partisan.
This paper professes intense affection for the
Union men of Kentucky and Tennessee—Crit
tenden and Prentice in the one, and Andrew
Johnson in the other. It insists that every
thing shall be done to strengthen the hands of
these great leaders ; but it does not admit that,
simply for defending the cause of the country,
such tribunes as Johnson are outlawed and
made fugitives from their own homes by the
men who are encouraged by papers in the free
States like the Patriot and Union. The course
pursued towards Union men by the traitors is
well stated by the Louisville Journal, of a re
cent date, as follows
" There is every reason to believe that the
policy so foreshadowed is now the actual policy
of the Confederate States, and throughout their
length and breadth is enforced rigorously and
pitilessly. As will be seen, the policy is as in
human as the policy of Kentucky is inhumane.
Whilst the latter directs that no citizen shall
be molested on account of his political opin
ions,' that 'no citizen's property shall be=taken
or confiscated because of such opinions,' and
that all peaceable citizens who remain at home
and attend to their private business, until le
gally called into the public service, as well as
their families, are entitled to, and shall receive,
the fullest protection of the Government in the
enjoyment of their lives, their liberties, and
their property,' the former, in the spirit of the
bloodiest proscription, declares that no citizen
of Union opinions shall be free from molesta
tion, that every Union citizen's property shall
be confiscated, and his person imprisoned or ex
iled because of his opinions, and that 'the man
who will not fight, and he who dares to depre
ciate the credit of the Government, are alike
traitors.' In short, the Confederate policy ex
tinguishes in the Confederate borders the last
vestige of freedom of political opinion, riveting
chains on the souls as well as the bodies of cow
ering people. Such is the cruelty that rules in
the rebel realm from one end to the other.
"Men of Kentucky, if you would preserve
your own liberty and escape the galling tyranny,
fly to arms, and at once drive back the myrmi
dons who come to coerce you into the rebel
realm at the bayonet's point. This is the work
before you, and these are the motives for doing
the work. If you are fit for liberty and not fit
for tyranny- "111 uo ID.
In Pennsylvania, traitors are to be allowed to
print and preach treason, and when officers of
the law, under instructions from the govern
ment, arrest them, the traitors are defended
and the officers persecuted and assailed by such
champions of the Breckinridge Democracy as
William B. Reed and the Patriot and Union. In
the south brave men are treated as traitors, even
on suspicion of allegiance to the flag and th e
Constitution of their fathers. Freedom of the
press in the loyal states, according to William
B. Reed and his school, means the unrestricted
right to weaken the arm of the country in the
present struggle—a doctrine which the recent
associates and present admirers of these au
thorities in the seceded states, not only make their
own law, but punish and imprison all who are sus
pected of opposing it.
A. G. CURTIN
A LADY recently escaped from Virginia, says
the Pittsburg Despatch, tells us that on the oc
casion of an alarm among the rebels in the
town where she was residing, from a report that
the Union troops were coming through the
town, the amiable old Secession ladies poisoned
their preserves and other nice things, and when
the rumor proved false, they felt a little sorry,
no doubt, es the preserves were all goneOlor
nix." The same lady says that there wrs not
one yard of calico and but one hoop skirt for sale
in the town. What wonder that all the women
were savage at "Lincoln," as they never take
the trouble to think that he was not to blame
if the people chose to make him President, and
that Jeff. Davis & Co. had no more provocation
to kick out of the traces when he was elected
than before.
THREE VESSELS left New York yesterday with
three hundred and ninety colored persons on
board for Hayti. Of these two hundred were
from Canada, one hundred and fifty from Penn
sylvania, and the rest from ,the city of New
York. There was one white man with a black
wife, and two white women with black hus
bands. The emigrants go to St. Marks, Hayti,
and will settle on farms given them by the gov
ernment in the vicinity of that place.
Tun LOUISVILLE JOURNAL says : Hundreds of
those exceedingly sensitive Kentuckians who so
eloquently proclaimed that they could never
take up arms against the southern states, inas
much as those states were Kentucky's sisters,
have now taken up arms for the conquest of
Kentucky herself. Isn't that enough to make
the devil laugh ?
TILE ATEniPSES Appeal offers the following yel
low-covered invitation : "Let the brutal min

shall flow as free as festal wine." Amiable,

VenligOmuta lllatl gtitgraPth Cambay 'Afternoon, Ortober 22, 1861.
From the Baltimore Patriot, Oct. 21.]
We have had an opportunity of conversing
with several persons just arrived from the inte
rior of the Southern States, some of whom left
rather than take the oath of allegiance to the
new Confederacy; and others, because their bu
siness was broken up by reason of their still ad
hering to the old faith and their ancient alle
giance.
7 One of these parties left Richmond, where he
hadbeen since February, on "I hursday morning
last, and spent Friday in Norfolk. He informed
us that there was still a fierce enthusiasm seem
ing to pervade the Secessionists throughout the
South, women and children, as well as men ;
that they have a complete confidence in their
ability to maintain their position ; that there
were, to his personal knowledge many Union
men in Richmond, and in Norfolk especially ;
that the counties of Eastern Virginia, as well as
the towns, were swarming with soldiers ; that
almost every man wore uniform, and was at
tached to some military organization ; that the
troops were, in many cases, ragged, and in very
few cases uniformed ; that their clothes were of
homespun, dyed with the walnut bark, or some
similar substance, to secure something like uni
formity of color among those of the same com
pany ; that they were very badly off for shoes,
had very few blankets, still fewer tents, and
were well armed only in certain places, as at
Manassas, and in . parts of Tennessee, having
brought each man his squirrel-gun or fowling
piece, with such fixtures as he could provide at
home.
He also said that certain medicines were very
scarce, and some it was impossible to obtain.
Calomel was worth fifty cents an ounce, and
hardly any to be had in Richmond. Quinine,
there was none to be had at any drug store
there on Wednesday. Ipecitcuaulla and iodide
of potassium, and opium particularly, were al
most unattainable. He found some opium at
Norfolk, but neither of the others.
The Tredegar iron works were said to be
turning out one large gun a day. The armo
ries were busy, and as guns were much needed,
as fast as they could be manufactured they
were sent to their troops. In Richmond there
was not much disorderly behavior in the streets
and no drunkenness, that he saw, among the
soldiers. Among the operatives and mechanics
especially, the Union feeling was strong ; but
no one could dare to give expression to it. The
Union men, however, knew each other, and
were objects of suspicion to those who ruled
and those who upheld them. The knowledge
that a man still adhered to the Union was suf
ficient to deprive him of employment and take
away custom from his store. Many Union
men who could get away had left, but the great
mass, of course, could not get off, and they
were waiting, in hope, the arrival of the Fede
ral armies to release them from the oppression
which was exercised over them.
The Union men would undoubtedly join the
United States flag as soon as it could be dis
played among them. Thousands would flock to
it who now were silenced, and who were actu
ally now forced to bear arms against it. What
is the relative actual strength of the parties
there, it was impossible to say. No test could
be had—nu election held under present circum
stances in these States would afford any evi
dence, even if it were possible to run a Union
candidate. None such could show himself, nor
would it be safe fur any voter to vote for such.
The disunionists well know this, as well as the
fact that there are thousands of Union men,
and their fear of allowing the Union men to
find out their own strength, causes them to for
bid and crush out any attempt at a demonstra
tion.
The secessionists were, in many places in the
interior, beginning to be entirely sick of this
state of affairs. Coffee, fifty cents a pound—
hardly any hotel now gave coffee—some had
tea—that, too, was high. Bacon, twenty-five
cents a pound. Salt, eight dollars a sack.—
Flour, eight and nine dollars a barrel.
Lult , parties
with whom we conversed had been staying
some months, wheat was worth eighty-five to
ninety-five cents a bushel, and the store-keeper
told a farmer, in his hearing, that shortly it
would be a bushel of wheat for a pound of cof
fee. Gold and silver never seen. Bank notes
of the different States, and Confederate money,
of the denomination of $5 and upward—all
change consisted of shin-plasters and corpora
tion promises to pay five and ten cents (when $5
was presented) in Virginia money.
In the western and mountainous region of
North Carolina, and especially East Tennessee,
Union men dared still to gather together and
speak out, except in those points which were
closely occupied by Jeff. Davis' "minions."
In Northern Alabama, too, about Huntsville,
and in northeastern Mississippi, as well as among
the largest planters along the river, the Union
feeling was rife and strong ; and he had heard
one man say at a "gathering" that "if he could
only see the old Stars and Stripes he would cry
for joy."
One account gave 13,000 men in and around
Norfolk, and 110,000 at and about Manassas.—
Another account stated that the Quartermaster
at Norfolk served out 35,000 rations daily. It
was quite impossible to know anything exactly
of position or number. The Confederate% did
not allow the newspapers to publish anything.
The movements on our side were known almost
immediately at Richmond—how, unless through
secret traitors and spies in Government offices,
he could not tell—and a perfect confidence was
felt that they had secured and would maintain
their independence. The fleet now assembling
at Hampton Roads gave great uneasiness to the
secessionists, arid they,are alarmed and per
plexed. Such ird,pic main points of the state
ment, which seem to tis -•'very fair and candid,
and reliable as tomi4:-lom men who had
neither interest nor wish to state other than
facts.
The Fifth New Jersey Regiment, Col. Stan,
is performing guard - duty in the city of
Alexandria, and officers and men seem to have
Been active in promoting union sentiments with
the fair sex. The editor of the Trenton paper,
writing from there, says one of the lieutenants
had a beautiful lady whom he introduced as his
wife, and no one suspicioned anything wrong.
It appeared, however, that he had put her off
from day to day on a promise of marriage, and
at last becoming angry, he disavowed her alto
gether, refusing even to give her funds to return
to her friends in the South. She appealed to
the court martial for redress, and, says the
tditor :
After listening to the evidence, the judgement
of the court was, that he should forthwith make
the lady his lawful wife, and give her an order
on the Government Paymaster for one-half the
amount due him—being some $l6O. He refused
at first to abide by the judgment of the court,
when his sword was promptly taken from him,
and a guard ordered to take him charge. Tnis
cooled him down wonderfully, and after a little
further reflection he decided to abide the deci
sion. A clergyman was sent for—the two were
lawfully united in matrimony, in the presence
of some twenty witnesses—the husband gave
the order on the U. S. Paymaster for half his
wages—congratulations were exchanged among
all present in the court room, and all went their
way rejoicing, save the husband, who went off
a little nettled, though a "second sober thought . '
will, we think, doubtless bring him around all
right. Some twenty other cases were disposed
of through the day in a like peremptory
manner.
DIED OF A BROKEN Maum—Loftus Otway,

Skirmishing began between the enemy in un
certain numbers and a part of General Stone's
command, as early as nine o'clock in the morn

about five o'clock iu the afternoon, when large
reinforcements of the enemy appeared upon our

(Senator from Oregon.)
The Union force engaged numbered about
one thousand eight hundred, and were attacked
by a force supposed to be from five to ten
thousand.
At this juncture, Col.. Baker fell at the head of
his brigade, gallantly cheering on his men to the con

Immediately before he fell, he dispatched
Major Young to General Stone to •apprise him
of the condition of affairs, and General Stone
immediately proceeded in person toward the

the subjoined statement in the Wash

Republican, and have reason to believe it true :
" That Gen. McClellan, backed up by Seward,

cess of fortifying all the hills between this and
Richmond, while Blair, Cameron, Welles and
smith, with Gen. Scott, urge and immediate
advance upon Manassas and Richmond before
cold weather puts an end to the campaign.—
New facts have come to light, and I believe
that Gen. McClellan is opposed to au immedi
ate advance. It is said that Gen. Scott agrees
with him except upon a single point. Scott
agrees that it were better to wait a month long
er—if it were possible—but that a month hence
it will be impossible to advance an army over
the Virginia roads, and that to postpone a bat
tle a mouth really means to postpone it till
next May or June. There is tolerably good evi

within a fortnight, will do so reluctantly."
