The Effect of the Proclamation. Now that the election is over, our friends who believe in the supposed virtues of the Emanci pation Proclamation ;is a war measure, cunnot charge us with my pnrtizan design in proposing to discuss the merits of this much-debated po --nunciamento of Mr. Lincoln. Tliey will now, certainly, do us the justice to admit that we have no other object in view, in staling the facts and giving our conclusions, concerning the op eration of the Proclamation, than the success of the Federal Government and the welfare of the country. They will, therefore, not refuse to consider what we say, and to weigh, as intel ligent men, the facta and arguments which we ahnll present. Come, then, believers in the Proclamation, let us reason together! You tell us that it was a military necessity to proclaim the emancipation of the slaves in all States in rebellion against the Federal Govern ment, for the reasons, mainly, that whilst the rebel masters tilled the ranks of JetF Davis' ar mies, their slaves remained at home to raise corn and beef to feed those armies, or accompanied the Southern troops and worked on entrench ments and digged up breastworks for them.— Hence, say you, it was very important to take •way from the rebel government this element of strength und to do this it was necessary that the President should issue his decree of emancipa tion. Now, granting that the labor of the slaves within the rebel lines is of the greatest possible service to the Southern armios, and ad mitting that if the slaves who perform this la bor were free from the control of those armies, the resources of the rebellion would be greatly (Straitened, it is quite certain that Mr. Lincoln's Proclamation has not effected, nor can it ever effect, its avowed purpose. Slavery in the Se ceded States still exists and flourishes, although it is now one year since the President's Procla mation has been promulged. To use its author's own words, it has Iteen as futile in its effects upon that institution, "as the Pope's bull a gninst the comet." Slaves are freed only by force of arms, just as they were prior to the issuing of this Presidential bull. As the Federal armies advance, slaves become "contraband," •nd, per consequence, free, and so they did from the beginning of the war. Ilonce the Procla mation is not only a superfluity, but as a mili tary measure, a complete failure. Nay, it is not only a failure, but a source of great injury to the Federal cause. Being niado the grand program mo of the war, and making the aboli tion of slavery the first object to be nltained by the success of the Federal arms, it lias divided the people of the North, diverting at least one half of them from a cordial support of the war, whilst at the ?amo time it has united the people of the South in military opposition to the Fed eral Government. This is a simple statement of the plain, unvarnished truth concerning tlio effect of the Proclamation. Besides, it is quito plain that the President's emancipation policy can be fully carried out only by the entire and •ompletc occupation of the rebel territory, by Federal troops. There must be 'perfect and thorough subjugation of every rebel State and county and town, before the Proclama tion can be enforced. Now, we are told that when the rebellious States are subdued, the Uniop is restored. How, then, can the Proc lamation be of Service at that late day? If suc cessful fighting w ill, in itself, restore the Union, and if the Proclamation <an lie put in practice only after the war ends in .success, what neces sity is dhete now, dr will thero be then, for tho existehce of this bone of contention? None, none. Then let it ho buried in thi* Tomb of the Capulpts, and let its grave close ovier it at once and forever. "Before the election, you Copperheads Mid, To let down A. Curtiu was all your des ire; Bat all your predictions arc knocked in the ln/ad, For A. Curtin, ycu see, has been lifted BL.<H higher."— Ab. paper.. Til true Mr.. Ab., A. Curtin's still up; And may be for'three years without interrup tion— ' Fwns a shrewd party dodge, if you keep him close drawn; For A. CCRTIN you need, to hide your cor ruption. Pick Your Flints. The election i 9 over, and though, through the frauds of Curtin and hi 3 minions, we have been defeated—yet, let us not be oast down —there is hope-in the future. The people; may be de ceived onco or twice; by the duplicity and cor ruption of an administration, having all the pat ronage, power, and "Greenbacks" on its side; but these very ongines will yet p rove its own destruction. It is true, that patronage will buy the votes of thousands; that po'w er wielded by 1 unscrupulous rulers, may, for a time, close the mouths of the timid, and in that mauner, keep the truth chained in prison; but it will finally burst the bonds and soar triunj pliant, despite the shackles of designing men, w ho are gorged with the "spoils of office;" and v.'no would sacrifice the blood-bought rights of freemen for the sake of being "clothed in a little. brief nuthority." These men, who are no'w in power, have rais ed a storm which they <:annot control —they have commenced a war x rhieh thev cannot end; and they are, already, beginning to see their danger. The time is fast approaching, when, even those whom tb ? y have so long deceived, will have the scales lifted from their eyes ; so that even they—bli'o .l as they have heretofore been—will see elf ,rly the hideous corruptions covered by the much used terms "loyalty" and "patriotism." "T'he powers that be," (as the men of this administration blasphemously per sist in calling the mselves,) are just now in a di lemma, and inc.st seize one of two horns, or per ish:— tl.ey must put down the rebellion before the next Presidential election, or abolish the ballot-box. If they do not do one of these two, or both, the n< jxt President will be a Democrat, as sure as the sun rises and sets. The men v> dio were led to vote for Curtin on the promise ti rat "there would be no more drafts," have already got their eyes opened by the rail for "300,0C/t) more." This call for volunteers is but asbtm to hide the draft. The Adminis tration knows that the quota will never be filled by volunteers; nnd then the draft must follow. It is true that the American people arc easily duped; but it is also true that, like the rest of mankind, they learn by experience. The y will not. be so easily duped, nor bought, next fall, as they were this—nor will the sup porters of the administration be so enthusiastic. Then, "pick your dints" nnd be ready—take liearit anil never despond:— "Fear not that tyrants shall rule forever, Nor their priests of the bloody faith; They stand on the brink of a mighty river Whose waters are tinctured with death: 'Tis fed from the depths of a thousand dells— Around tiiem it rises, and rages, and swells; And their swords and their sceptres, I floatingsee, Like wrecks on the suige of eternity.'' ©■The appointments of teachers for the Union i School this winter have been made.

"A Strong Government" If tlie public mind could be properly impress ed with what is now going on in I'oland, the advocates ol "a strong Government - ' would be able to do very little harm. The military pow er of Russia is in some respects greater than that of any Government in Europe, and it is now übnost exclusively devoted to the putting down of insurgents who have no visible head —llO regular armies and no territory of their own. In the city of Warsaw Hlone there are now over sixty thousand Kussiau soldiers: and byway of inspiring the proper terror in the minds of the inhabitants, the military authori ties resort to such expedients as the shooting of half a dozen of the Poles at a time, and the carting of their dead bodies about the streets. The property of those suspected is confiscated without any pretence of legal authority, and the populations of whole districts transported to the mines of Siberia. The result of sueh measures, even if successful, cannot but he most disastrous to the present Government, it is not merely an expensive business, but it lays waste a vast expanse of country, aud deprives the State of hundreds of thousands of its sub jects. More than this, it accomplishes but a temporary purpose. When a new generation comes upon the stage, it is to be done oyer a gain. in 1 S.j f the Czar banished forty-five thousand familiesj but their places have been tilled up, and as many more must be gotten rid of. Nor is it by any means a safe mode of government. Had the Poles been wise enough to have risen during the Crimean war, when liussiu was hard pressed by France and Eng land, their success would not have been doubt ful ; and even now they have given foreign pow ers a chance to interfere, and may, perhaps, embroil their "strong" Government in a disas trous contest. It would seem, therefore, that a strong, centralized Government is not with out its drawbacks, and that, too, even in a country whose inhabitants have been trained to submission. On the other bund, a very weak Government has answered our purpose extremely well.— Nothing can be more delusive than to suppose that it was any right of coercion that held the Union together. The colonies formed an al liance ot their own accord, and when they came to adopt the Constitution, it is well known that while refusing to admit in terms the right of secession, they also declined to give the Gener al Government an express right of coercion. Nor will any candid man deny that for years it was a fair, open question whether any such right existed. It is absurd to scout at a consti tutional doctrine as without authority after it has been deliberately enunciated by such a jur ist as William Uawle. It was not, therefore, any fear of coercion that held the Union togeth er; but, on the contrary, if one will recur to the history of 18u0—G1, lie will find that the most effective argument of the secessionists was to taunt the Union men of the South with cowardice, so that, as a matter of fact, thou sands weakly voted for dissolution to repel the imputation upon their courage, just as thous ands voted for Lincoln under the influence of the Tribune's telling cry of "don't be bullied out of your manhood." Hut while this will be readi ly admitted by every man of any intelligence, it is astonishing to find how many there are who believe that it is now become necessary to obliterate State, lines, and to build up a great national debt, and to centralize power, and so construct a strong, consolidated Government. Tliey seem to think that such a structure can sustain itself, crush out opposition and discon tent. They rely, therefore, for our security hereafter, upon force rather than consent—up on the men in office rather than the people.—- llow alien this theory is from the old doc trines of our forefathers we may learn from the words of Jackson himself, who, in his fareweil address, thus expressed himself: "But the Union cannot be preserved and tho Constitution maintained by the mere coercive power confided in the General Government. Its foundations must lie laid in the affections of the people, and in tho security which it gives to life, liberty, property and character." That lie then uttered the sentiments cf the groat mass of the people cannot bo doubted, and it will not. tend to secure a favorablo result to the experiment of to-day that those views are still lerished by a very large proportion of the people. It is upon men accustomed to lib erty that this "strong" Government is to be fastened, and time will show that those who have been wont to consider themselves citizens make very poor subjects. To bold the South as Russia holds Poland will compel the Feder al authorities to put a pressure upon the people of the North which, if experience he of any value, will ultimately rend the Government a sunder, and bring about the very evils which the men in power are now ignorantly striving to prevent. The warning of Governor Seymour may be unheeded lbr the time, but the predic tions of Cassandra were true, notwithstanding the unbelief of those who heard her: "When they asked mo if I feared for the strength of the States on account of t lie draft, I told litem no, but I trembled for the General Governnieut. I want the Government made strong. Our fathers asserted that if you would make the Government strong, you must make it beneficent—you must make tlio hearts of the people the foundations upon which it ram t stand. Therefore, they restrained the Government from having jurisdiction over subjects in which they might do wrong or become unpopular. These restraints are the strength of the Governt.aent. If the barrel bursts its hoops it does not liecorao a hogshead; it becomes a mere bundle of staves. This Administration has attempted to broak loose from these restraints and to establish cen tral power in the General Government. The draft has been the first great attempt to exercise this power, and it linsmisernbly failed. Instead of strengthening tho Government it has immeas urably weakened it. Ido not fear for the State 5 but for the Federal Government. Tho great State of New York can maintain her rights when the little men who insult her are passed away aud forgotten."— Age.

A short time ago we received intelligence that General Hooker had successfully crossed to the (southern bunk of the Tennessee river from his former camp at Stevenson some dis tance below Chattanooga. The enemy, wish ing to drive him hack again, attacked his camp at midnight on Wednesday last, aud a severe contest was fought, the latest account of which is half-past seven on Thursday morning. The ! enemy, General Hooker reports, were repulsed at all points. Wo have no doubt, however, that General Hooker's onward progress is block ed, and that lie will have to remain on the bank of the river. Everything indicates that there must soon he a crisis at Chattanooga. We have Southern accounts of moving bodies of troops from Bragg's camp to the Confederate force opposing Burnside. The body of Federal soldiers who penetrated to Southwestern Virgin ia, have retreated thirty or forty miles from Abingdon, and the enemy say there is now not the slightest danger from that quarter. Burn side is on the defensive. A short summary of the Western situation would he this: The rail road connecting Grant and Burnside is cut and ill the enemy's possession; Bragg holds Grant I quiet and prevents Hooker's onward progress; a Confederate army threatens Burnside in front and another threatens bun in flank, and Grunt's supplies have almost failed. General Buell is announced as Grant's Chief of Staff. Everything continues quiet along the Rappa hannock. Rumors, collected from spies and deserters, are becoming more and numerous that largo detachments under General Ewell have been made front General Lee's army to operate against Burnside. A force under Pick ett, from Petersburg, in Virginia, has also been sent on the sainj errand. There seems to be little indication of any active movements on the Rappahannock for some time to come. The World Rays that Meade's quiescence is in part | explained by the fact that fifteen hundred fur-1 [ tougiiv.'! soldiers, sent home to vote the Admin istration ticket, arrive! iu New York ou a sin gle day (Thursday last). j From Charlesfon we have advices by South ern sources to last Sunday. There laid been no change in the state of affairs and cannon ades from both sides continued languidly. It was the one hundred aud seventh day of the 'siege. From Western Virginia we learn that Gener al Averell, with his cavalry, still remains near Beverly. Sonic late movements of the enemy caused him to assume the defensive. He is closely watched, it seems, for thus far almost all his plnns have been checkmated. From New Orleans the only item is that the 'circulation of the New York Caucasian, a | Democratic newspaper, has been prohibited, and j I two dozen copies seized. The Navy Department, reports the Tribune, is now engaged in tow-boat building. Secreta ry Welles says lie will not charter any more of these vessels at a hundred dollars a day. War Gazette—Official. WASHINGTON, Nov. I.— To Col. Robert Nugent A. A. Provost Marshal General New York: The representation made by Dean llichmond and Peter Cagger in a printed circular, dated October 17, 1833, in respect to the action of the Provost Marshal General, arc untrue. It is not true that the State of New York is charged as with a deficiency for every citizen who has paid the S3OO commutation money, receiving no credit therefor. On the contrary, the State receives the same credit for a man who has paid commutation as " IU "ratted citizen l3 gone in person or furnished a substitute, anil in like manner towns which have raised the mon ey to pay their quotas received the same credit as if actual substitutes had been furnished and the President has ordered th*t every citizen who has paid the S3OO commutation money shall receive the snme credit therefor as if he had furnished a substitute, and is exonerated from military service for the time for which he was drafted to wit: for three years. JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. [Correspondence of the New York Times.] Mourns ISLAND, Oct. 27—12 M.—Three! heavy guns have been turned upon the city of Charleston, and each has thrown one shell con taining Greek fire into the very heart of the city. Other guns are to open upon the city this after noon. It was not intended at first to make tho com mencement of such vigorous operations, but circumstances have changed the programme en tirely. Our batteries are also at work 011 John son, Sumter and Moultrie. The enemy reply reservedly to-day. lie is evidently taken with surprise, so far as tho shell ing of Charleston is concerned, although lie has had sufficient warning. Four monitors are in position on Sullivan's Island. It is understood tlicy will engage the rebel works this afternoon. IIUAIKJUAHTEKS DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH, Oct. 27.—A number of the heavy guns in Wagner and Gregg were opened 011 Sumter, Moultrie and Johnson yesterday morning. The firing was continued at regular intervals through out the day until dark, and resumed ugain this morning. The range of the guns on Sumter and Wag ner is one-third less than it was before the cap ture of Wagner and Gregg. The firing 011 our side is excellent—every shot seems to be ciiec tivo. The enemy did not commence an animated reply till about noon yesterday. llis practice is inferior to that exhibited weeks ago. At the present moment of writing not a cas ualty has occurred on our side, and no percep tible damage to our works lias been sustained. The artillery is in charge of the Third Rhode Island regiment they having been ordered to the pieces on Sunday. The land batteries alone are engaged. The object of the fire was to get perfect range of the rebel works, and to prevent tho construc tion of any interior batteries and mounting of any guns on Sumter. It cannot be put down 1 as the commencement of any vigorous assault, and the public must not anticipate news of stirring import by the arrival of the succeeding transport. That preparations have been making for some weeks for active movements is patent to us all, nnd will be more so when the actual moment arrives. Thanksgiving Proclamation. Governor Curlin has issued a Proclamation, in accordance with the recommendation of the President, setting apart the last Thursday of this month as a day of Thanksgiving to God for tho fruits of the earth and tho numerous blessings which we, as a people, have enjoyed during the past year.

The Parrotts are located on Cuniming's Point, and are said to completely command the city. EFFECTS OF COMPOUND INTEREST. In Cali fornia any stipulated rate of interest is lawful, and the current rates are often fearful. In January, 18(11. (not yet three years ago), Din iel lv. Vance borrowed $1,300 of Morris Wise, payable.on demand, with compound interest at eight per cent, per month. Not being paid, Wise sued it and obtained a verdict a month a go, for the snug little sum of one hundred and sixty millions of dollars. Not being able to lose so much money, Wise concluded to strike off one hundred and forty millions from the a mount, and only have judgment, entered for the trifle of twenty millions. Tho above has been going the rounds of the press for some time. A gentleman at our elbow says that $1,300, at eight per. per month compound interest will re quire nine years before it reaches the sum of Jive millions. Also, that money at eight per cent, per month, compound interest, doubles in a little more than nine, months. How is it? Somebody that knows plcnse answer. QUARTERMASTER'S DEPARTMENT.—It is cal culated that the total expenditures of the Uni ted States Quartermaster's Department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1804, will amount to somewhere in the neighborhood of $370,- 000,000 or $400,000,000. Of this amount the Clothing Bureau alone will swallow upwards of $100,000,000. Our soldiers ought to he well clad, at least. Call and Settle.

She approached the hour of her disso lution, with meek submission, resting on her faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, in hope of a Glo rious immortality beyond the grave, and at last calinly sank into the arms of dcutb, bidding' I adieu to all the sufferings of this life- '•Mourn not —for she is safe- Safe from all grief and pain. The loss alone is ours, To her, all—''All is gain. Her prayer is answered: "May my suffering cease, I.ord lot thy servant now depart in peace." Special Examination of Teacjiers.
