PROCLAMATION. ANNUAL THANKSGIVING. To the People of Wisconsin:— mid the manifold vicissitudes and oal uities that have befallen and surrouhd .l us, threatening the life of our nation, ad the lives of so many of its heroic nd noble sons, it peculiarly becomes us a turn with grateful hearts to the Su reme Being for the many blessings we uvve enjoyed, and the afflictions wc have )een spared. The horrors and devastations of war, o fiercely raging around us, have not touched the border of our State; except ing the brave men who have rallied around our country's flag in this time of peril, our citizens have been permitted to pursue their peaceful avocations; our harvest, though not as abundant as Prov idence sometimes has pleased to grant us, has yet well compensated the labor bestowed upon it, and well filled our houses and barns; the savage tribes upon our border settlements, so threatening at one time to our peace, have been qui eted, and kept under surveillance. The great cause of our nation, it is true, has not triumphed yet over its enemies, but neither has it yet failed ; the enemy has been driven from the soil of the loyal States ; our army has been reinforced by hundreds of thousands of brave, patriotic and noble men ready to \ do battle, and, if necessary, to die for j the integrity of the Union : o ;r rcsour- i ees and energies are unimpaired ; we have reason to be hopeful for the future,' ' aud therefore thankful for the past; The loyalty, honor, aud patriotism of the State of Wisconsin has been nobly sustained by her brave sons upon every field of battle where they have been call ed upon to vindicate our national flag, j The just pride which we feet fn flic bra- ! very of our noble soldiers should fill our hearts with gratitude to Almighty God, | who has sustained them in their hour of trial. For these and other uncounted bless ings which the infinite goodness of God has vouchsafed to us during the past year, we should thank Him from the depth of our hearts. And therefore, and in ac cordance with a timehonored custom, I do hereby appoint THURSDAY, THE 29T11 DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1802. AS A DA Y OF THANKSGIVING AND REST, and recommend to the peo ple of this State on that day to abstain from secular labor, and to assemble at their usual places of worship to show their grateful hearts to the beneficent Ruler of tbe Universe, and to pray for a speedy suppression of the rebellion, and for peace to our distracted country. In testimony whereof, I have here unto subscribed my name, and [Seal] caused the Great Seal of State to be affixed this 31st day of October, A. D. ISG2. Edward Salomon, Gov.

Whig of the Bi!i inst. rem irks on the recent elec tion returns as follows: ‘•They show plainly that the tide sets all one way and that against Abraham Lincoln and his rampant war party, and if the appeal of this party could be credited, this success of the Democrats is about equal to a declaration of peace. But they are not to be credited, and we are not permitted to take, that comfort to our bosoms. We have no reason to hope that with a Democratic Congress ami a Republican administration, regard ing each other as men who arc in doubt, but that to-morrow they may be cutting each other throats, the war will not he sent forward any. As Lincoln and his party brought on the war and have con ducted it themselves, the people have meant by this remarkable revolution to declare not only deep dissaft’ection, but to decree that important changes shall bo made, and having found out their strength and having less fear of the Bastile before their eyes, we may expect the opposition will now speak their sentiments with a boldness they have not dared to venture before.” I From tlic Uppor Missouri. A DESPERATE FIGHT WITH INDIANS. The Sioux City Register of the Ist inst. contains the particulars from a gen tleman who was among the party, of a most desperate fight on the Upper Mis souri, below Ft. Benton, by a party of returning miners while descending the rives in a Mackinaw boat, with the Yaneton Sioux tribe. The correspond ent relates the particular as follows ; ‘:Wc left Fort Benton on the 22d day of September and proceeded down the river without any interruption worth mentioning until 1 Oth of October at 0 o’clock in the morning, when about 150 miles below Ft. Berthold we discovered a largo Indian camp which we learned afterwards to be ‘Big Head's’ chief of Yaneton Sioux. They hailed us, but we continued on our course without no ticing them. They gave the alarm to the camp below by discharging their guns in the air, and it was but a tew mo ments before the whole camp was a roused, and then began the tight, from every place of concealment we received a shower of bullets. They then posted themselves on the bank in a very nar row part of the river which they knew to run within a few yards ot them. They I again hailed us to land, when captain ! W. 11. Eads, seeing our position, headed j the boat directly to shore, making them ' think he was going to land, when this jst rate gem brought out a large number from concealment and withheld the fire of the balance, when he suddenly whirled her around broadside, and sung out; ‘Now is the time, boys; giv’m—,’ . when we poured,a volley, which tumbled 1 Mr. Redskin right and left, and milking them skedaddle in ev;ery direction. Now commenced a running fight which lasted until four o’clock, and from every place which otfered concealment wc received their five. Mr. M. J. Germain, of Ga lena, was wounded in the thigh—upon whom, by the by, too much praise can not be bestowed for his manly conduct and courage ; also our Captain, who oc cupied an exposed position ; and was a conspieious mark but who managed the boat fin such a manner as to prevent any raking fire: and to his coolness, and judgement, and courage'all are indebted for their lives. In the early part of the fight, Mr. Thomas Willard and L. J. Lansing were standing together when a spent ball struck tbe former, which so disabled him that ho was unable to keep his feet. Our friend of Wilson’s Creek and Pea Pudge, remarked that the fight was more severe, in proportion, four being wounded out of five that were ex posed, the balance being partly pro tected by the baggage, (kc., which had been hurriedly placed as a barricade We left Mr. Germain at Fort Randall to undergo surgical treatment. The balance of the wounded were able to continue on their voyage, and without further accident arrived here safely, and axe now waiting for conveyance to their homes. — From the Whig. Sufferings of the Rebel Army. “A few days ago a scene was witness ed in our streets which at last aroused the people to a lively sense of the real condition of our soldiers. A number of regiments marched down Ninth street, passing the very door of the war depart ment. Citizens standing near —there were no officials present; they never are on such occasions—saw with their own eyes what the papers have long and vainly tried to make them believe. They saw numbers of soldiers marching bare foot through the melting snow. Nor was this all. They saw them thinly clad in ragged and worn out clothes; some of them without blankets and with out hats. This was a spectalc to stir the pulses of a spectator. But there were some who took good care not to witness so disgraceful sight. At the very moment tills barefooted pro cession was passing the War Depart ment, the President of the Confederate States, his Secretary of War, all the cab inet officers, the quartermaster-general, and some thousands ot able-bodied young clerks, were sitting by rousing fires, toasting their well-shod feet, and think ing of anything- the soldiers. It is not to be expected that stout young.fel lows, who slink into government drud ges iu order to get out the army, should care much for anybody but themselves. It is not to be expected that an admin istration, no member of which was ever known to put his foot inside of a hos pital, of to bestow so much as a plate of soup on a sick private, or to send one of their gorgeous vehicles to bring in the wounded —it is not to be expected that such an administration should care very much for anything but (he snub bing of men like Price and Beauregard. Our political system makes them secure in their places lor six years, and it is a matter of profound indifference to them what happens, so long as they can draw their salaries and reward their favorites with the honors and bounties of govern ment. But the cold-blooded inhumanity of the government docs not absolve our eetizens from the religious duty of im mediately supplying' the -wants of tire army. The soldier who offers his life as a sacrifice for his country —who en dures the perils of battle, the still greater perils ofthe hospital, in charge of drunken and conceited boy-surgeons, the filth of camp and the fatigue of marches —should have every want cared for. There is nothing that a people can do for the soldiers which ought to be left undone. While the soldier lives he should be well fed and well clothed, and so long as he is in the service his family should be attended to. The people who allow their soldiers to go naked in the cutting winds of winter, while they stay warm at home, do not deserve liberty. God will not prosper the cause of such a people. We of Richmond have been remiss. Wo have been slow to wake up to a sense of (he horrible destitution of our army. It is not altogether our fault. From the begining wc desired earnestly to co-operate with the government, to be on good terms with its members, to share its trials and promote as far as in us lay its success and its glory. But j the gov'nmenthas prcsistently held aloof from us and flouted us, Every attempt to partake of its responsibilities, and to; co-operate with it in its labors, has been j scornfully rejcced, as impertinent inter ference with matter which did not con cern us, and which wo wore incapable of comprehending. If, in defiance of offi cial influence, we endeavored to do our duty in a pressing emergency—as when the channel of James river was to be closed —wo were hampered and thwarted with theddiocy and sloth of official rou tine. We appeal to the leading men of this city to say if this is not to"the let ter true. What wonder then that, when not permitted to take any part in the plans or purposes of the government of our own making, we did the only thing left us to do—-made as much depreciate paper money as we could. Citizens ot Richmond ! your courage in not abandoning the capital of your state and the confederacy, when the government seemed to have lost all hope, will be a proud theme for tbe historian. Your noble kindness and devotion to the wounded in your homes and hospit als, will be a theme still nobler. We pray you, by tbe love you bear to old Virginia, by the pride you feel in what ever conduces to her honor, not lei the love of' filthy lucre tarnish youi glorious reputation. Come and shame the government as you have ashamed it befoie. The naked soldier, who is fight ing for your freedom, is shivering m your streets. Help him.

Burnside’s army at one o'clock to-day, reports the situation unchanged. The rebels were said to have nineteen guns, of large calibre, in position near Fredericksburg on Friday. President Lincoln, in the course of an interview with unconditional Union Ken tuckians, discussed at length the question of emancipation. He said he would rather die than take back a word of the proclamation of freedom, and lie dwelt upon the advantages to Bic Border States of his scheme for the gradual abolishment of slavery, which he urged them to bring fairly before the people. They assured him that it should he done. Mr. Lincoln also expressed his detemi nation to enforce vigorous measures to rid the state of rebel sympathizers, and for that purpose anew Provost Marshal Gen eral who had his heart in the work, will bo appointed. Sec. Chase’s report will undoubtedly contain an urgent recommendation, sup ported by elaborate arguments, to Con gress to take measures for the substitu tion of Government Bank currency, by taxing the latter, and making provision for the circulation through the banks of the former. The court of inquiry in (ho ease of Gen. Buell will propably adjourn shortly after meeting at Cincinnati, to Nashville, for the convenience of witnesses, many of whom are in Roscnerans’ army. Gen.

Boston, Nov. 21. —The draw of the Charleston bridge was open this morn ing, when the way passenger train from Malden went through. The train con sisted of engine, tender, smoking car and three passenger cars. The weather was dark arid foggy, and the train was going quite slowly. The engine and tender plunged into the river. The smoking car, in which were a number of passen gers, was thrown forward with all the passengers in a heap. The remaining cars were uncoupled in time to avoid ta king the plunge, Many of the passen gers in the smoking ear escaped by jump ing from the windows and swimming ashore, while to others planks were thrown, but some were drowned.
