PROCLAMATION OF TIIK I'llKSI lI. V l
Wahiii.noton, July 0. Wiiercax, at the
lute session, Congress passed a bill "to guaran
tee to certain States, whoso governments have
been usurped or overthrown, a republican
form of government," a copy of which In here
unto annexed ; and,
Whereas, the said bill was presented to the
President of the United States for his ap
proval lees than one hour before the slue die
adjournment of said session, and was noi
signed by him ; and,
KTierean, The said bill contains, among
other things, a plan for restoring the States in
Kebellion to their proper practical relation In
the Union, which plan expresses the sense of
Congress upon that subject, and which plan
It Is now thought fit to lay before tiie people
for their consideration :
Now therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, Prc
sldeiit of the United States, do proclaim, de
clare, and make known, that while I am, as I
was in December last, when I propounded a
plan for restoration, uprepared by a formal
approval of this bill to be Inflexibly committed
to any single plan of restoration, and while I
am also unprepared to declare that the free
Suite constitutions and governments already
adopted and installed in Arkansas and
Louisiana shall be set as I do and held for
naught, thereby repelling and discouraging
the loyal citizens who have set up the same
"as to further effort, or to declare a Constitu
tional competency In Congress to abolish
slavery In States, but am at the same time
sincerely hoping and expecting that a Con
stitutional amendment, abolishing slavery
throughout the nation, may be adopted ; never
theless, I am fully satisfied with the
system for the restoration contained
In the bill as . one very propor plan
for the loyal people of any State choosinsr to
adopt It, and that I am, and at all times shall
be prepared to give the Executive aid and
assistance to any such people, so soon as the
military resistance to the United States shall
have been suppressed in any such State, aud
the people thereof shall have sulllciently re
turned to their obedience to the Constitution
and the laws of the United States, In which
cases military Governors will be appointed,
with directions to proceed according to the
bllL
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.

The new revenue law provides that all manu

Revenue has decided that where moneys have
been paid to the Collectors on goods which had
not been sold, and which wero not subject to tax,
such payment cannot be considered as a payment
of the tax, and the articles are subject to the in
creased rates. Liquors in bonded warehouse ure
subject to the same rule
Distilled spirits, coal oil, and tobacco may lie
removed to the bonded warehouse, under trans
portation bonds given to the Collectors, In the
same manner as spirits, under the act of March
7, 1H64. The regulations for the lu8cctlon of
cigars will lie issued as soon as the necessary
stamps can be prepared, which will ho done in a

Strong pressure is being brought to bear upon
the President and Secretary of State to have our
Government formally demand from the British
authorities the rendition of the. pirate Seiumes
and that portion of his crew who were picked up
by the Detrhoutul. It is claimed that when the
Alabama struck her colors, all of her crew at
once became prisoners of war to Captain Wins
low, and that tho Deerhound was summoned by
him to the rescue of tho drowning men solely
through motives of humanity ; and that she after
wards surreptitiously, and in violation of the
rights of war, carried our prisoners to the Kuglisa
coast. Secretary Seward will resist this pressure

The Rebels are rigidly enforcing tho Conscrip

L ite intelligence from Scotland announces tho

of the celebrated "Christopher North.'
He was born in the Scottish capital in isus, edu

was distinguished for bis proficiency iu Greek,
and at Magdaline College, Oxford, surrounded
by the soli-inn cloisters and shaded walls own

He lli'en devoted himself to preparing a course
of lectures ( 11 the hi-tory of Greek philosophy,
and those of the lectures which are tiuishi'1 will
soon he ottered to the public. "They will," says
an I'.diiiburgb writer, "if wo mistake not, fully

Till'. KMI'KUOHS AT KISSINOUN.
A letter from Kissingen, dated June 19, thus
describes the meeting of the Kmperors at Kis-
lingen :
"The telci
graph has already Informed you that
the airival of the Emperor and Kmpress of Rus
sia was closely followed by that of thoir Austrian
Majesties. The former sovereigns alighted at tho
Kuihuus, and there ure only two bouses between
that und the villa Hers, where tho Kmperir and
Kmpress of Austria reside. The Czar has brought
with him bis two sons, i lie Grand Dukes Paul and
Sergey and bis daughter the young Grand Duchess.
Fiuncis Joseph, being the last comer, visited the
F.mperor Alexander 11 through a pelting rain
the morning after bis arrival. The Kmpress of
Austria, who was suffering from the fatigue of
her journey bad not yet left her apartments.
T he J'.mperor of Austria wore the uniform of a
Russian general. A short time after, the Czar,
in the undress of a general of the Austrian
cavalry, and attended by Prince Dolgoruki, one
of his aides-de-cuuip, returntd. In the evening
the two Kmperors, iu pluin clothes, and accom
panied by the Kmpress of Russia, made their ap
piarance on the grand promenade. It would be
Impossible to mention tho number of Russians
and English who are now here. The crowd is
immense, and tho august visitors have some
dilliculty in walking about, so eager is every one
to get a close sight of them.
"The two sovereigns salute witli groat amia
bility tho persons around them. During tho
promenade tho Kmpress ot Russia took the arm
of the Emperor of Austriu. Her countenance
bears the traces of the physical suirerings for the
ullevlation of which she has visited Ktsslngen.
As the daughter of the Grand Duke of Darm
stadt, she, had, when young, tho reputation of
being endowed with the most amiable qualities,
and that character has increased since she has
become an Kmpress.
"The (irand Duko of Oldenburg is also at Kis
engen ; his presence here shows tbut the last
word as to the succession of the Duchess is not
yet spoken in favor of tho Prince of Augusten
burg. The Grand Duke is a handsome man, and
his countenance is very pleasing. Ho accompa
nied the two Emperors in their promenade.
Count do Recbberg and Prince de Gurtcbakolf,
aim-in-arm, followed their sovereigns. This
morning the Ktnperor of Austria aud the Grand
Duke of Oldenburg were together on tho prome
nade, the Count do Rcchberg conversing with
Huron de Pfordten. Tho King of Havana Is
among the latest arrivals."

H NKHAL OF SMITH o'llllU'.K A Tl'MVLT.
The remains of William Smith O'Brien arrived
in Dublin on the 23d nit., and notwithstanding
the earnestly-expressed wishes of his family, were
made the subject of a demonmruiion by the "Na
tionalist" party. A letter had appeared in ono of
the journals the previous duy, calling upon the
brewers' drnymcn to prove by a numerous at
tendance "that the texture of their coats bad but
little to do with their patriotism," and accord
ingly these men were very conspicuous.
At three o'clock the steamer left tho North
Wall, having on board a number of persons
whose enthusiasm enabled them to brave thudis-
11 forts of a wet, chilly morning, and proceeded
into the Hay to meet tho Cambria, wiileU con
veyed the body. She had not proceeded far when
the expected vessel was descried, and both ves
sels came to their moorings at about four A. M.
After a little delay, the remains were brought on
shore. The collin was of o ik, with a largo cross
011 the lid, and a nnuie-plato bearing tho de
ceased's name and ago.
A hearse was in waiting, into which thos In
churgu attempted to hear it, hut a loud shout of
remonstrance arose from the assembled crowd, a
rush whs made towards It, and fhe honor of lirst
aiding iu carrying it was furiously contested.

"Soithami'Ton, June 21,lMil. Sir : I have
the honor to inform you that, in accordance witli
my Intention, as previously announced to you, 1
steamed out of the harlior of Chcrliourg, between
nine and ten o'clock of the morning of the, lOih
of June, for the purpose of engaging the enemy 's
steamer Kearmrgr, which had been lying oir and
on tho port for several days previously. After
clearing the harlior, we descried the enemy,
with his bead oil shore, at a distance of about
seven miles. Wo were three-quarters of an
hour in coming up with him. I had
previously pivoted my guns to starboard, and
made all my preparations tor engaging the enemy
on that side. Winn within about a mde aud a
quarter of tho enemy ho suddenly wheeled, und
bringing his head in shore, presented his star
boaitl I attcry to me. By this time wo wore dis
tant about ono mi a from each other, when 1
opened on him with solitl shot, to which ho re
plied in a few minutes, and tho engagement be
came active on both sides.
"The enemy now pressed his ship under a full
head ot steam, and to prevent our p issing each
other too spceillly, and to keep our respective
broadsides bearing, it became, necessary to tight
in a circle, the two ships steaming around a com
mon centre, and preserving a distance from each
other ol from a quarter to a half a mile. When
we got within a good shell range we uiieued upon
him with shell.
"Somo ten or llftecn minutes after tho com
mencement of the action our spanker g iff was
shot nwuy, and our ensigu came down by the
run. This was immediately lepl iced by another
ut the mizzcumast-bead. The tiling uow bec lino
very hot, ami tho enemy 's shot and shell soon
began to tell upon our hull, knocking down, kill
ing, and disabling a uumber of men in dul'erent
parts of tho ship.
"Ptrcciving that our shell, though apparently
exploding against the enemy's sides, wero doing
him but little dumage, 1 returned to solid shot
firing, and from this time onward attended (al
ternated ) with shot and shell.
"After the lapse of about ono hour and ten
minutes our ship was ascertained to be in a sink
ing condition, the enemy's shell having exploded
in our sides and between decks, opening largo
apertures, through which the water rushed with
gieat rapidity.
"For some few minutes I hud hopes of being
ablo to reach the Fionch coa-t, for which pur
pose I gave the ship ail steam, and sot such of
the fore and aft sails as wereav olable. Tho ship
tilled so rapidly, however, tha, before wo had
made much progress the tires were extinguisbed
in the turnuces, and we were evidently on tho
point or sinking. 1 now hauled down my colors,
to prevent tho further destruction of life, and
despatched a boat to inform the enemy of our
condition.
"Although we were now but four hundred
yards from each other, the enemy fired upon me
five times after my colors bad been struck. It
la chat liable to suppose that a ship-of-war of a
Christian nation could not have done this inten
tionally. "We now turned all our exertions towards
saving tho wounded, and such of the boys of the
ship who were unable to swim. These were
deposited In my quarter-boats, the only boa's
remaining to me the waist-boats having boon
torn to pieces.
"Some twenty minutes after my furnace fires
had been extinguished, and the ship being ou the
point of settling, every man, in obedience to a
previous order which hud been given the crew
jumped overboard and endeavored to save him
Belf.
"There was no appearance of any boat coming
to me from tho enemy after mv ship went down
Fortunately, howover, the steam yacht Iteer
hound, owned by a gentleman of Lancashire,
England, Mr. John Lancaster, who was himself
on boatd, steamed up In the midst of my drown
ing men, and rescued a number of both ottlcore
and men from the water. I was fortunate enough
myself thus to escape to the shelter of the neu
tral Hag, together with about forty others, all
told.
"About this time tho Keartarge scut one, and
then, turdily, another boat.
"Accompanying you will find a list of the
killed and wounded, and of tboso who wero
fdeked up by the Deerhoumt; tho rsmutnder, there
s rcusou to hope, wore picked up by the enemy,
and a couple of French pilot boats, which were
also, fortunately, near the scene of action.
"At the end of tho engagement It was dis
covered by those of our ollicers who went along
side the enemy's ship with the woundetl that her
Biidbhip section on both sides was thoroughly
iron-coated, this having been done with chiln
constructed lor the purpose, placed perpendicu
larly lrom the rail lo ibe water's edge, the whole
covered over by a thin outer planking, which
gave 110 indication of the armor benea'h.
"This plunking had lieen ripped olf in every
direction by our shot und shell, the chain broken
and indented in many places, and forced partly
Into tho ship's side. She was most effectually
guurded, however, in this section, trom penetra
tion. The enemy was much damaged In other
parts, but to what extent it is now impossible to
tell: it Is believed to be badly crippled.
1 My ollicers and men behaved steadily and
gallantly, and, though they have lost their ship,
they have not lost honor.
"Where all behuved so well it would be in
vidious 10 particularize, but I cannot deny my
self the pleasure of saving that Mr. Kell, my 1st
lieutenant, deserves great credit for the Hue con
dition in which the ship went iuU) action with
regard to her buttery, niuguziue,and shell-rooms,
and that he rendered me great assistance by bis
coolness and judgment as the light proceeded.
" The enemy was heavier than iny-elf, b uh iu
ship, buttery, and crew; but I did uot know until
the action was over that she was iron-clud.
" Out total lo s in killed and wounded is thirty
to wit: nine killed, twenty-one wounded.
" I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant, R. Skmmkh, Ca.ku.u."

Wasuinoton, July !. The Star says the mall
steamer Highland Light arrived from City Point,
leaving there at eleven o'clock yesterday morn
ing. On Thursday night tho Rebels brought a
battery to bear on a working party of ours, who
were throwing up earthworks nearer Petersburg,
and for a while sharp cannonading took place.
Our men having brought np a battery to bear
ti)Hin the Rebel buttery, the lattor was soon
silenced. Subsequently tho Rebels took tip a
new position, and again opened on the working
party, but finding they could accomplish nothing,
they soon ceased their fire. With this exception
all has been quiet for a few days past, hut this is
only the prelimitiury moment of quiet beforo tho
storm.
General Grnnt never was more hopeful of tak
ing Richmond, never was bettor prepared, anil
was never before so near the accomplishment of
his purposo as at this moment. All this may
seem paradoxical, in view of the Rebel calcula
tions of creating a diversion from Richmond by
their Potomac raid ; but it is strictly true, as time
will show.
On Wednesday the work of sicgo operations
against Petersburg was so coniplotod that tho
men were allowed some respite from their labors
for a few hours.
Hon. John Covodo, of Pennsylvania, came up
on the Highland Light, bringing np the bidy f
his son, Colonel O. II. Covodo, 4th Pennsylvania
Cavalry, who was killed while protecting the rear
of Shi ridun's train while crossing the James
river, in the Uto movement from White House.
On Wednesday night be proceeded within the
Rebel Hues, escorted by a detail of forty men of
Sherldnii's Cavalry, who, under eoverof a gun
boat, detailed for the purpose, landed at St
Mary's, In Chnrlos City county, and, avoiding
the Rebel pickets, secured the body.
His body had boon Interred by negroes, who
placed boards around the grave. The negroes
state that Colonel Covode lingered all night, and
died In the morning, after being wounded. Be
fore he died the Rebels took from him his watch
money, aud valuables, and then stripped him of
all clothing except his shirt.
Hon. John Covode says that General Grant Is
confident of final success, but that he should
have more troops with which to carry on his
movements. The army was never bettor sup
plied, and its sanitary condition is very good.
Senators Wado, Wilkinson, and Chandler are

The Rebels occupy Frederick, but In what

EBaltiuokb, July 0. The news hero a present
(three o'clock this afternoon) is very exciting.
The Rebels now undoubtedly hold Frederick,
and fighting is said to be in progress this side,
near the Monocacy. General Wallace feels con
fident of bis ability to repulse the enemy. It is
believed the Rebels are beiug considerably reim
forced, and their number is lurgcr than heretofore
generally supposed. Things look ugly, but con

The Stock Market this morning was weak and
dull. Rending Railroad sold at 68 ; the psioe of
this stock Is supposed to be affected as much by
the present strike of the miners as by the tight
ness of the money market. The shipments this)
week are very small only about 20,000 tons.
Everything looks "blue" on "Change, the present
uncertainty regarding the pollcyof Mr. Fosseo
den tending to limit operations. - - '
By some it is asserted the policy of the 1 ne
Secretary will he towards still greater inflation
through the issue of greenbacks; bnt those is.
a better position to know, as confidently assort,
that he is contemplating, if be has not already
done so, a call upon the Banks for a, temporary
Loan, and the caution and recent statements of
the Banks in the large cities seem to give color to
the latter Idea. For our own part we have belief
in contraction and retrenchment rather than la
inflation and extravagance. ' '-' " " " '

The following Is from the New York Ti,nei of
this morning:
"The abatement in the pressure for money
since yesterday's report is very slight and eon
fined to the Stock Exchange borrowers, who have
reduced their wants by cash sales and the refusal
of new orders except for cash. Tho ratos of dis
count on good paper are advancing, and where it
is connected with advances on produce, either oq
the spot or to arrive, or on foreign nvei-chaodls
to be held in store for higher prices, the
rates are very hear and the scrutiny or sig
natures more than usually close. While some
leaders may not distrust the continued high
premium on gold and exchange where by
these speculations are to be maintained
nearly all are disposed to look to the contin
gency of a breakdown, and lo calculate tho
chances of even a greater scarcity of areen-
backs in the seaboard mouey markets thaut
has wrought the present change In the rates of
interest and the customary workings of the As
sociated Hank movement. The immediate e 1 ad
dition of things is so wholly anomalous, that
cautious money lenders and prudent traders aro
equally at a loss how to act the ttrst, to knosr
wbut paper. If based on speculation, will be good
a few months hence ; the last, how far to provide)
their fall stocks of merchandise, at the going
figures, which their customers may refuse to buy.
"The rapidly advancing rates ot Exchange on
London, aud the growing disposition among our
own people to economize the- consumption of
foreign merchandise, or to follow np prices with
the rise In gold, are contributing to large engage
ments for tho re-export of sugars, teas, ootfesj,
fine wools, and numerous other articles of
foreign growth and manufacture. Tnooverstocka
in this and other Atlantic markets of foreign
merchandise, resulting from the false calculation
of anticipating Ibe now and higher tariff, ara
generally acknowledged ; the exceptions to this
opitiion being found almost exclusively with
the parties who have ventured upon sack be ivy
importations, and And it extremely ditUult
to save themselves from enormous losses)
on the rise of gold, with all thai
Jineist of obtaining temporary advance
upon their slocks of goods in the open Mouey
market, in the hope that the consumers wiU ulti
mately be forced to pay the advance in prices.
Other parties are very sensibly relieving tb Mis
selves by sales from bond for re-exportation, on
the high rates of exchange, or by rushipping di
rect lor other and better markets. Tho export
list of last week included a considerable amount
of certain staple foreign merchandise, aud the
engagements for the present week are undorstj Mt
to be uiueb lurger. The process will have to go on
for some time before there is the sllgtrest proba
bility of- short supplies for the fall trade
in the Americsn markets. The inclination
to curtail consumption is increased by every
advance In gold, and by each turn ef this
Money Market upon the holders and speculators
in foreign merchandize and staple domestic pro
duce, who are aiming to force a eorrespending
advance in prices. The credits of some of these
parties and their factors, who have come under
acceptance for them, have already fallen 12(o15
per cent, per annum.
