further say, that whoring members sent to Congress
from any State shall he admitted to seats constitu

And still, further,ji,that this Proclamation is in

the N ational authority has been suspended, and
loyal State Governments have been subverted, a
mode in and bv which the National authority ana
loyal state Governments may be re-established
within said States, or in any of them; and, while
the mode presented is the best the Executive can
suggest, with his present-impressions, it must tuft
be understood that uo other possible mode would be
acceptable.

eighth. ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
By the President,
Wm. H. Swash, Secretary of State.
East Tennessee and - Georgia, —The siege of
Knoxville was raised December 4th, General Sher
man having arrived with, reinforcements from
Chattanooga on ihe day previous.. Longslreet’s
line of retreat according to the dispatches, was
towards Bristol, via the Morristown Railroad to
Richmond, and soiith from Bristol. His retreat
is made both on the north and. south banks of the
Holston river, Foster’s cavalry following him on
the south, and Sherman on the north. A dispatch
from Gen. Foster dated Tazewell, December 7th
says: •
" Longtreet is m full retreat up the valley. Your
orders about following with cavalry shall be carried
out. My. division ot cavalry attacked the enemy's
cavalry in one of the passes'of the Clinch mountains
yesterday afternoon, and arc pushing them vigor
ously!
So Important and decisive is this abandonment of
E. Tennessee, that the President deemed it a suitable
occasion to call for thanks from the Christian pebple
of the country m the following
FROCtrAaiATIOtf;
Executive Mansion. Washington, Dee, 7th, 1863".
Reliable information being received that the in
surgent force is retreating, from East Tennessee,
under circum tanCes rendering it probable that the
Union forces cannot hereafter be dislodged from
that important position, and esteeming this to be of
•high National consequence. I recommend that all
loyal people do. on the receipt of this, informally as
semble at their respective places of worship, and
render special homage and gratitude to Almighty
God for this great advancement of the National
cause ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The news from Tennessee, says the Louisville
dispatch Sept. 7th:
“Is really glorious. Langstreet has abandoned
the siege of Knoxville, and ib - getting himself into
Virginia as fast os possible. Oar cavalry are said
to be m close pursuit of the rebels. A large batch
of prisoners wps captured yesterday at Clinch river.
General Sherman has arrived at Knoxv’lle.”
A Cincinnati despatch December Bth' says;
Hardee is slow y falling back from Dalton, with
Bragg’s whipjed men Ihe mountains of East
Tennessee are filled with rebels deserters and
stragglers. 2130 Chattanooga prisoners passed
through Indianapolis yesterday bound for Rock
Island; 1200 more are expected there to-day. 131
rebel officers, mostly of Breckinridge’s corps, also
passed through, bound for Johnson’s Island.
Pardon of a Rebel General.— The President
has signed the pardon of E. W. Gantt, of Arkansas,
from the penalty of treason, which be incurred by
accepting and exercising the office of Brigadier

pardon also reinstates General Gantt m all his
rights of property, excepting those relative to slaves
Mr. Gantt has given proof of lus returning loyalty
by abandoning his rebel associates, and urging the
people of Arkansas to follow his example m a
powerful address.
