gave increased determination to his
gallant troops to gain the day.

closely pressed by our army until
they made their next stand, where
the battle of Wednesday was fought,
jest, beyond Keedysville. 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. There they lay
in all coneeival .• positions and in all
stag:es of revolting decomposition, a
'sight - to appal the most courageous,
iirid'to fill the memory of the most
'thoughtless beholder with impres

many a day.
In one part of the battle-field a
large corn-field just at the edge of 'a
wood where the rebels appear to
have suffered most, their dead lay so
thick that their dark forms could be

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. And that the effort to colonize
persons of African descent, with
their consent, upon this continent,
or elsewhere, with the previously ob
tained consent of the Governments
existing there will be continued.
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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

death (at least no kind of death can be
evil to that man) who bath led a good
life.
