Here, as has already been abundantly shown, Gen—McClellan drove the enemy from his position • and forced him to abandon the ground, leaving all his dead and part of his wounded on the field, which 'the next day was in the rear of our advanced forces. Every pea, of this hotly contested field was accessible to the throngs of visitors who came in troops from all parts of the surrounding country, both on .Thirsdat and Friday, to view the 'fit.Orowleg• Spectacle. By Friday many of our dead had been buried, 'but. a vast number of the bodies'of the fallen foe still remained as they .had met their death.

A PRO44e.MATION : By the President (1 lbt pnited States of America : I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby declare and proclaim that hereafter as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the Contftitutional relations between the United States and each of the States and people thereof in which States the relation is or may be suspended or disturbed. That it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress, to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure, tendering pre cuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave States so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States, and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or there after may voluntarily adopt, the im mediate or gradual abolishment of slavery withip their respective lim its.

That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thou sand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State cr designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, and thenceforward and forever free, and the Executive Gov ernment of the United States, in cluding the military and naval au thority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their act ual freedom. That the Executive will, on the Ist day of January aforesaid, by procla mation, designate the states and parts of States, it any, in which the people thereof respectively shall then be in rebellion against 'the United States, and the filet that any State or the people thereof, shall on that day be in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States, by members chosen thereto at elections, wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have par ticipated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing - testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof are not in rebellion against the United States. That attention is hereby called to an act of Congress, entitled an act to make an addition al article of war, approved March 13th, 1862, and which act is in the words and figures following: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con gress assembled: That hereafter the following shall be promulgated an additional article of war for the government of the army of the Uni ted States, and shall be observed as such article : All officers or persons in the military or naval service of the United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the wrpose of returning fugitives from service or labor, who may have escaped from any person to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due, and any officer who shall be found guilty, by a court martial, of violating this article, shall be dis missed from the service.

By the President, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. WM. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State. • Saspeaslon of the Habeas Cor- pus The President hat just issued the following proclamation :—WHEREAS, It has become necessary to call into service not only volunteers, but also portions of the militia of the States, by draft, in order to suppress the insurrection existing in the United States, and disloyal parties are not adequately restrained by the ordina ry processes of law from hindering this measure and frpm giving aid and comfort in various ways to the insurrection, now, therefore, be it or dered, First, That during the existing insurrecti..n, and as a neccssaay mea sure for suppressing the same, that all rebels, and insurgents, their aid ers and abettors, within the United States, and all persons discouraging enlistments, resisting militia draft, or guilty of disloyal practices, affording aid and comfort to the rebellion against the authority of the "United States, shall be subject to martial law, and liable to trial and punish ment by court martial and military commission. Second, That the writ of habeas corpus is suspended in respect to all persons arrested, or may be hereafter during the rebellion, imprisoned in any fort, camp, ar. renal, military prison, or other place of confinement, by any military authority, or by the sentence of any court martial or military commission. Success of Jackson's Retreat. A correspondent of the Tribune, writes from Keedysville on Saturday night:—Stonewall Jackson is gone; he crossed the river with his whole force, artillery, cavalry and infant ry ; he carried all his train, leaving not as much as a wagon behind him. The ford where he crossed is about seven miles from the village; he kept up a show of line of battle all day Thursday, and stray musket• ry and artillery firing was going on all day along the lines. He sent over some heavy batteries first and stationed them on commanding heights on the opposite side, and then crossed quite unmolested. He commenced crossing on Thursday night. Yesterday it was discovered he was going, and our troops cross ed forward, capturing 2,000 of his rear guard, banged away at him with artilleay, from this side of the river, which he cared very little about; and now all our predictions that he - would be bagged amount to just nothing. What a disappointment! It is said that if we had attacked him on Thursday when he was de moralized by It defeat ho should sur render, but our Generals know best, and we must hear the army murmer, yet say not a word against any one. Fitz John Porter is in the advance; he is near the river, jnst whore the lox escaped. it was General Burn side's command that captured the 2,000 prisoners. M aryland is rid of Jacksou's presence, but how much have we to boast of? Every man in the army believed that Heintzelman's and Sigel's forces were posted on -the opposite side of the river to pre- Vent him from crossing. But this was a delusion. Rebels Admit A Defeat. It is now ascertained from official reports, writes a correspondent, that we captured about 2,000 wounded rebels, who were left behind in the hospitals between Sharpsburg and the river, and also recaptured one hundred and fifty of our own men who were wounded and taken pris eners during the fight. Since last Saturday we must have more than made up for our loss at Harper's Ferry in prisoners. Among the reb el wounded we have about 200 offi cers—three wounded colonels, and the rest majors, captains and lieuten ants. I have conversed with many of them, and have not found one who does not admit a severe defeat to their arms. They say that if Long street and Stuart had fought as Jack son they would have completely rout ed our army. Longstreet promised General Lee to hold the stone bridge at all hazards, but did not do it and suffered a terrible defeat at the hands of General Burnside. But their suc cessful retreat is the subject of . great congratulation among these rebel officers. "Whenyou make retreats," said one of them to me to-day, "we always obtain quartermaster and commissary stores enough to supply us a month; but I doubt if you ob tain enough from us. to fill the knap sacks of fifty men." I could not re ply to this; for, having participated in several retreats, I knew it to be idle• Tke Indian .Treiebles. i int.ntmation bas been received from the Commissioner of Indian ' 41Nirto* _.tau ng . that the ditliculAse With tip Citippowas in ,lifinaesots, ie biIINP adjusted ;.Ikkto imittiosital . do üblit with tiiiikeiatts,* :. 11 44110 , 0440101,impijmitvisriwit-: riv illiorilAil k ilt /40.40edlionanos. i , ' rirtmiga mar sal* wisialswey. Winchester Aug F•rnMSC Several rebel prisoners, captured by Gen. Sigel's scouts near Centre ville, have been brought to Washing ton. They give the losses of the rebels, in the late battles in Mary land, at about twenty thousand. The rebels have concentrated their for ces at Winchester, which place they are fortifyiug. They regard the capture at Harper's I'err3r as an off set to their loss in the battle of An tietam, and say their retreat from Maryland was effected in the best order. The prisoners report the loss of rebel officers in the late engage ments as very great. A despatch from a special correspondent of the New York Tribune says that Lieut. Karnay has returned from a scouting expedition to Leesburg and vicinity. The rebels have cavalry in all direc tions in that neighborhood. There are no rebel soldiers between Wash ington and Centreville. Skirmishes in Missouri. HUDSON, Mo., Sept, 23.—Early last week Capt. Johnson, with 75 of the enrolled militia from Ralls Co., attacked 78 guerillas, under McDo nald at Frobus Lick, scattering them in all directions. They left one dead and three wounded. On the 18th, Capt. Johnson, with 125 men, surprised a camp of 150 strong, under Maj. Snyder, and after a short engagement the enemy fled.. Snyder was killed, and fifteen of his . men wounded. All the camp equip page, guns, blankets, and other property was taken. On the same day, Lieut. Dillon, with part of his company, came up with a band and routed them, taking 5 prisoners, 11 horses, guns, &c. Maj. Hunt reports scattering Cun ningham's band near Sturgeon, yes terday, In a skirmish, and only one man is rePOrted wounded on our side and none killed, Prospects of Another Battle A gentleman, arriving in Harris burg from Williamsport, says that no troops had passed into Virginia up to Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock; neither bad any of the different di visions received any orders for a for ward movement. The impression seemed to prevail among the soldiers that when they did move they would proceed into Western Virginia, cross ing at Williamsport. The enemy, he says, will undoubtedly dispute our crossing, and when Gen. McClellan orders a forward movement a battle will no doubt take place at that point. This gentleman dined at a house in Hagerstown where General Lee and his staff had made their headquarters. The lady of the house told him that she heard Gen. Lee instruct his officers to see that no depredations were committed by the soldiers while in Maryland, but when they entered Pennsylvania they might pillage and destroy everything on their route. The Bribe's In Western Vlr- glnla Or. Tuesday evening last, five thousand rebels occupied the village of Ripley, in Jackson county, and were threatening the Ohio border.— This force came in pursuit of Light burn, but was not quite quick enough to catch him. Lightburn succeeded in bringing through safely a train of six hundred and fifty wagons, the last one of which and the last man of his command had safely departed from Ravenswood on the same even ing the rebels occupied Ripley. As before stated, Lightburn went to Point Pleasant, and now occupies a position on the Kanawha above that place. He left the train, or the lar gest portion of it, on the Ohio side. The Ilinnessota Indian War. A St. Paul dispatch of the 24th", says :—The Indian depredations cot.- tinue in the towns near St. Cloud.— Two children were killed. The in habitants were fleeing to St. Cloud, leaving the towns to the ravaged of the Indians. A messenger from Fort Abercrombie arrived at St. Cloud on the 21st. He reports the fort safe, the Indians having aban doned the seige.• Forty or fifty Chippewa braves offered their 'servi ce, to the Governor to -day, to fight the Sioux, hut, were not accepted for the present. McClellan's Letter to General Hooker. Gen. Hooker is confident that he shall be able to take the field within two weeks. His wound has ceased to be painful and has every favorable symptom. The President, and seve ral of the Cabinet have called upon him and consulted with regard to the conduct of the war. Gen. McClellan, in a letter in which he thanks him for his brilliant services at the battle of the Antietum, and expresses re gret for the wound, says: "1 know bad you not been struck you would have gained the main toad." That "main road" was the only one upon which the enemy could retreat; the one upon which he finallydidretreat, and had it been gained he would have been intercepted. Gen. McClellan has officially recommended General Hooker for the Brigadier General ship, made vacant by the death of Gen. Mansfield, and urges it upon the President in a private letter.-. Gen. Hooker believes that the eio my have never been more than 80,000 strong in Maryland, not even when reinforced by Jackson. with 30,000 after that General had taken Harper's Ferry. IlLammiss.

The Proclamation President Lincoln is a very Blon din in the art of political balancing. When in his elevated position a por tion of the balancing pole is thrown out on the left side, he deftly projects an equal weight of it on the right.— Thus he maintains his equilibrium. While he was humoring the radicals in the progress of degrading Gen. McClellan, he withheld the procla mation fbr which they so loudly clamored. When the unrelenting necessities of war compelled him to restore that General to command, he found it necessary to pacify this ex acting and meddlesome faction, and he throws a sop to the barking three mouthed Cerebus, in the shape of a proclamation. This new proclamation really amounts to little. The President I proclaims ir. substance, that on the first of next January he will issue still another proclamation, putting in force the main provisions of the confiscation act. It is unbecoming the dignity of a great government to make such menaces as to what it will hereafter do ift the territory of which a powerful armed foe disputes the jurisdiction. If, on the first of next January, the war is snbstantial ly ended, there would be some reason in giving the insurgents their elec tion between submission and civil penalties. But they will laugh such offers to scorn so long as they can confront us will great armies. That part of the proelamatson which re lates to slaves coming within our lines is particularly weak. The law is the same as it was several months ago. If a proclamation on this point is necessary, why was it soJ long delayed ? lts issue at this late day looks like a concession to the radical clamor.—. New York World. AN EXPENSIVE HAT. John J. Arnold, a rich old bachelor, who lived some years ago in in Pittsfield, Mass., in Making his will, left one thou- sand dollars to a clergyman in question, for whom he entertained great regard.— One day during his last illuess, the cleri cal gentleman came to see him, wearing an uncommonly seedy hat. Mr: A., no ticing it, wrote him an order for a hat, of which he begged his acceptance. Shortly after he had a severe attack, and was thought to be dying, and the clergyman, upon learning the fact, hastened to the hatter's and ordered the most expensive hat that could be made. The price was ten dollars. Mr. Arnold lived, and when he learned of the clergyman's cupidity, was so disgusted that he revoked the be quest. air That man can never die an evil death (at least no kind of death can be evil to that man) who bath led a good life.
