I am a member of no political party.--
Duties, inconsistent, in my opinion, with
the preservation of any attachments to

now reluctantly address them.
' The Proclamation of Emancipation, if
taken to mean what in terms it asserts, is
ah executive decree that on the first day
of January next all persons held as slaves,
within such States or parts of States, as
.all then be designated, shall cease to be
lawfully held toservice, and may, by their
own- efforts and with the aid of the mili
tary power of the United States, vindi
cate their lawful rights to their personal
freedom.
'ie personawho are the subjects of this
r*
lemation are held to service by the
awe of the respective States in which they
reside, enacted by the State authority, as
dear and unquestionable, under our sys
tem of government, as any law passed by
any State on any subject.
This proclamation, then, by an execu
tive dame, proposes to decree and annul
valid State laws which regulate the do
.
manic relations of their people. Such is
- t. he mode of operation of the decree.
The next observable characteristic is
that this executive decree holds out this
proposed repeal of State laws as a threat
ened' penalty for the continuance of a gov
erning majority of the people of each
State br part of a State, in rebellion
apiest Abe United States. So that the
P.resident, hereby assumes to himself the
power to denounce it as a punishment
against the entire people of a State. that
the valid laws of that State, which regu
late the domestic condition of its inhabi
tants, shall become null and void, at a
ceetain future date, by reason of the crint
inzd conduct of a governing majority of
its people.
This 'penalty however, it should be ob
served, is not to be inflicted on those per
sons who have been guilty of treason.—
The freedom of their slaves was already
provided for by the act of Congress recited
in a subsequent part of the proclamation.
It is not, therefore as a punishment of
guilty persons that the commander-in
chill' decrees the freedom of slaves of
.loyai persons, or of those who, from their
teadier,years or other disability, cannot be
eiater disloyal or otherwise, that the

the following words: "Understand, I
raise no objections to it on legal or un
constitutional grounds ; for, as com
mander-in chief of the army and navy, in
time of war I suppose I baits a right to
take any measure which may beet subdue
the enemy." This is a clear and frank
declaration of the President respecting the
origin'and extent of the power be supposes
himself to possess ; and so far as I know,
no source of these powers other than the
authority of Commander-in-Chief in time
of war has ever been suggested.
There has been much discussion con
cerning the question whether the power to
suspend the "privilege of the writ of ha
beascorpus" is conferred by the Constitu
tion on Congress or on the President. The
only judicial decisions which have been
made upon this question have been adverse
to the power of the President. Still, very
able lawyers have endeavored to maintain
—perhaps to the satisfaction of others—
have maintained, that the power to deprive
a particular person of "the privilege of the
writ" is an executive power. For while
it has been generally, and, so far as I
know, universally admitted, that Congress
alone can suspend a law or render it inop
erative, and consequently that Congress
alone can prohibit the Court from issuing
the writ, yet that the executive might, in
particular cases, suspend or deny the priv
ilege which the writ was designed to se
cure. I am not aware that any one has
attempted to show that under this grant
of power to suspend "the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus," the President may
annul the laws of States, create new offen
ses unknown to the laws of the United
States, erect military commissions to
try and punish them, and then, by a
sweeping decree, suspend the writ of "ha
beas corpus'' as to all persons who shall be
"arrested by any military authority."—
I think he would make a more bold than
wise experiment on the credulity of the
pecple who should attempt to convince
them that this power is to be found in the
habeas corpus clause of the Constitution.
No such attempt has been, and I think
none such will be made. And therefore,
I repeat, that no other source of this power
has ever been suggested, save that descri
bed by the President himself, as belonging
to him as the commander-in-chief.
It must be obvious to the meanest
capacity that, it the President of the
United States has an implied consti
tutional right, as commander-in chief
of the army and navy, in time of war,
to disregard any one positive prohi
bition of the Constitution, or to exer
cise any one power not delegated to
the United States by the Constitu
tion, because in his judgment, he may
thereby "best subdue the enemy.
be has the same right, for the same
reason, to disregard each and every
provision of the Constitution, and to
exercise all power "needful in his
opinion," to enable l im "best to
subdue the enemy."
It has never been doubted that
the power to abolish slavery within
the States was not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution,
but was reserved to the States. If
the President, as commander in
chief of the army and navy in time
of war, may, by an executive decree,
exercise this power to abolish sla
very in the States, which power was
reserved to the States, because he is
of opinion that he may thus "best
subdue the enemy," what other
power, reserved to the States or to
the people, may not be exorcised by
the President, for the same reason,
that he is of opinion he may thus
best subdue the enemy ? And if so,
what distinction can V be made be
tween powers not delegated to the
United States at all, and powers
which, though thus delegated,
are conferred by the Constitution
upon some department of the gov
ernment other than the executive ?
Indeed, the proclamation of Sept.
24th, 1862, followed by the orders of
the War Department, intended
to carry it into practical effect, are
manifest assumptions by the Presi
dent of powers delegated to the Con
gress and to the judicial department
of the Government, It is a clear
and undoubted prerogative of Con
gress alone, to define all offenses,
and to affix to each some appropriate
and not cruel or unusual punish
ment.
A `BLOYE INCIDENT."
A drafted man from the vicinity
of Reedsburg, Wayne county, Ohio,
says the Ashland Times, after ho bad
been in camp for about two weeks,
got a furlough to visit his sweet
heart, near the above place. Being
very tired walking, and after setting
up late, he retired to rest about one
o'clock a. m. He soon fell into a
sound slumber , shortly after his la
dy love conceived the idea of exempt..
ing him from the draft. Whereupon
she took an ax, approached the bed
of her lover, took his hand, and at
one blow severed the index finger
Obis right hand. We understand
ho is exempt from draft, but now
thinks of volunteering, provided he
can pus. He is determined that no
lady, however sweet, shall prevent
him from serving his country.

at Mitchel.
Standing by Gen. 'Stitches bed
side, writes a correspondent, be
'reseled out his hand and took mine,
and looking up in my face, he said :
—"lt is a blessed thing to have a
Christian's hope in a time like this."
An hour after he beckoned me, and
feebly-shaking my hand, said :—''Yon
must, not stay any longer ; go now,
Illad come to me In the morning.—
Major Birch, who had been untiring
in his attentions, entered almost con
vulsed with grief. He had just ta
ken down the last will and wishes of
his beloved commander. Ho con
ducted the Rev. Mr. Strickland to
the bed-side of the General, and
beckoned me to follow. I did not
hear the words of the General as the
Rev. Mr. S. stooped to speak to him,
but I did hear him say, "Kneel down,"
and then he asked Mr. Strickland to
make a short prayer. How still he
lay till that prayer went up to the
throne of the God of Battles !
At its conclusion, as we rose, his
eyes rested on me and his hand was
extended again. "You can do me
no good," said he, faintly ; "do not
stay." His mind seemed perfectly
clear and calm, but he was failing
constantly. Oh ! it is a fearful sight
to see a father thus dying—dying in
the same house with his two sons,
and they not know it—not permit
ted to look upon his face—not per
mitted to treasure his last words, his
last look—that all these must be
given to strangers. But they are too
sick to bear the blow ; it would shat
ter them. Therefbre, they must be
kept in ignorance till a coming hour.
Seven p. Mitchel has
breathed his last. He has gone from
us. He had his entire faculties till
within an hour or two of his depart
ure, when his reason seemed to wan
der. His last intelligent look was to
the Rev. Mr. Strickland. Seeing
him approach the bed, he looked up
devoutly, and lifting up his hand,
pointed upward twice! So passed
he from among men.
Army of the Potomac.---The
Whole Army Moving.--Bound
for Fredericksburg
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—We learn
that the whole army again took up
the line of march, on Saturday and
Sunday, for Fredericksburg.
Warrenton was evacuated to day.
General Burnside's headquarters
were at Catlett's Station to-day, and
ere this reaches you the whole army
will be near Fredericksburg.
A large quantity of supplies have
been sent there—and a force of con
trabands and mechanics, under Gen
eral Haupt, are building buildingwharvesand
the railroad at Acquia Creek. This
base was considered the best one for
operating into the heart of Virginia,
and was adopted at the Cabinet
Council we sent you word of last
Wednesday.
The rebels in Richmond are aware
of the new programme, and hence
there can be no impropriety in pub
lishing it in the North.
The steam gunboats Satelite a: - d
Yankee ran up to Acquia Creek on
Friday and found the fortifications
there deserted by the rebels. We
hold the wharf, which lies under
their guns.
Gen. Bayard occupied Falmouth
yesterday-, the rebels falling back be
fore him.
All goes well. No battle has taken
place toftlav, and no skirmishing.
Lebel Losses at Antietam
The New Orleans papers are pub
lishing the losses of the Lousiana
troops at the battle of Antietam.—
Five Lousiana regiments, compri
sing in all 600 men, lost in all 323 in
the action, of whom 45 were killed
and 278 wounded. The Washington
Artillery, tour companies, lost in the
battles before Washington and in
Maryland, 14 killed, 39 wounded,
and two missing. The facts which
are allowed to be published respect
ing the rebel losses in Maryland,
prove that they coffered more se
verely than our .own troops in the
recent battles. The small number of
men in their regiments show that
their previous loss must have been
very heavy from either battle or
sickness, and that there is considera
ble difficulty in refilling the , anks
thus decimated. no doubt whether
any Union regiment is reduced to
the number of one hundred and twen
ty men, as these Lousiana regiments
must have been before the last bat
tle, and less than half that number
since.
Sheets the Murderer to be
flanged.
The death sentence was passed
for the second time in Beaver coun
ty, on Thursday last, when Eli Sheets
was sentenced to be hung for the
murder of John Ainsley. Judge
Agnew was almost moved to tears
on the occasion. Sheets, was
asked if he had anything to say, rose
and said, with slightly apparent ef
fort, "1 am innocent of this murder."
As the sheriff and others were con
ducting him back to prison, he
sprang from them, freeing his hands
from the handcuffs, and ran rapidly
toward the river. He was, howev
er, overtaken and brought back be
fore he succeeded in getting but a
few, hundted yards.
A Bad Prospect
Richmond is the best flour market
in the South. Her mills are as fa
mous as those of Rochester, N. Y.,
and vet a week or two ago, flour was
selling in Richmond at $27 a barrel ;
white wheat at $5 a bushel; red at
3 95; unbolted corn-meal at $2 a bush
el, and bran at 60 cents. With such
prices ruling in the best market of
the Confederates,and that immediate
ly after harvest, the prospect for the
winter and spring months is not the
most cheerful they could contem
plate.
Late English papers contaiare
porta of ascents made by M. Waiter,
an ealliftaut, ugh.
er eleVation than hid ever; before
been attained. On a recent trip he
ascended to the height of five miles
and three qnvters (30,860 feet).—
Approaching that point, he observes
the corrected barometer read 10.8
inches. "In endeavoring to read the
wet
.bulb, I could not see the column
of the mercury. I rubbed my eyes,
then took a 4e= and also.failed. * *
I endeavhredtO reach some brandy
which was lying On the table at
about the distance of a foot, and
found myself unable to do so. My
sight become m•rc dim.
"I looked at the barometer and
saw it at 10 inches, still decreasing
fast, and just noted it in my book.—
Reading was at this time about 9 3-
4 inches, implying a height of about
5 3-4 miles, as a change of an inch
in the reading of the barometer, at
this elevation, takes place on a
change of height of about 2,300 feet;
I felt I was loosing all power, and
endeavored to rouse myself by strug
gling and shaking. I attempted to
look at the barometer again ; my
head fell on one side. I struggled
and got it right, and it fell on the oth
er, and finally fell backwards. My
arm, which had been resting on the
table, fell down by my side. It be
came more misty,,' and finally dark,
and I sank uncemßeiously as in sleep."
The writer continued insensible
for some time, but his place was ta
ken by Mr. Cogswell, who ascended
still higher, until the barometer is
believed to have marked only
eight inches, implying that they
were then six and a half miles above
the ground ! The temperature was
then some degrees above zero; oa
leaving the surface it was fifty-nine
degrees Fahrenheit. The descent
was made without any accident.—
Pigeons let loose at an elevation of
four miles fell down like stones, and
were taken up dead on the ground.—

Distress of the English Work-
men
A Manchester letter in the London
Times, dated the 22d October, states
that seven thousand eight hundred
and forty-tive additional paupers are
added to the poor law statistics du
rinv a week. Every day mills are
closed, ai d hundreds are reduced to
destitution. Virulent typhus fever
has broken 'out in Preston, traceable
to hardshipb and privations of the
poor. Business at Manchester is at
a stand still. Gladsone's speech
has created quite a panic. Many
manufacturers are stoppi ug their
mills altogether. The letter says it
is expected six hundred thousand
persons will be dependant on chari
ty during the coming winter.
A Heroic Wife.
A miller named Coleman, fled from
E. Va., over a year ago, on account
of his loyalty. and reached Wheeling
after a fatiguing journey, leaving his
wife and children behind He could
hear nothing from her until a day or
two ago, when much to his astonish
meat she also reached Wheeling.— ,
Mrs. Coleman has been endeavoring
to obtain a pass through the rebel '
lines, but as she was regarded disloy
al to the State she could not be ac
commodated. At last, however, she
succeeded, and started on her peril
ous journey. She walked a distance
of thirty miles, carrying an infant in
her arms, with three little children
trudging behind her on the high
road.
The Perils of Yankee Flirta
tion.
Of all Massachusetts Yankees,
those in the National army, when in
the presence of the rebels, male or
female, seem the most verdant.—
While Gen. Burnside's headquarters
were at Warrenton, the Colorml of a
Massachusetts regiment accepted the
hospitalities of a young lady of pleas
ing manners, living about four miles
from that place, and with a friend
galloped out one morning to break
fast. It was the old story in the his
tory of the war—the fair one was
as fair, and the hospitality was a de
coy, resulting in the capture of the
luckless visitors by a squad of conven
ient rebels, who rudely broke in on
the matinal repast, and hurried them
away from the presence of the perfid
ious charmer. When shall we
learn?
Gen. McClellan.
The Washington Chronicle inti
mates that the reason for Gen.
McClellan's removal were other than
those given in Gen. HaHeck's letter,
and that they will be made public
should the interests of the public de
mand their disclosure. The reasons
given by General HaHeck, however
satisfactory ajustificat ion they might
have been early in October for the re
moval of Gen. McClellan, are certain
ly not so in November, when the
army was advancing against the reb
els. It is unfortunate that, in mak
ing the removal, the reasons did not
go with it.
A Great Crop
Correspondents of the Department
of Agriculture conversant with the
progress of Sorghum culture in this
country, and qualified to judge accu
rately of this season's product, esti
mate The aggregate quantity of cane
syrup at 40,00,000 gallons, and the
area cultivated at 250,000 acres. In
1859, by the showing of the last cen
sus, the product was less than 8,000,-
000 gallons. If this estimate should
prove correct, it is sufficient to sup
ply more than half of the syrup and
molasses demand of the 'United
States.

evefung lash was a trimentletta one. In
reply be - an eloquent welcome, he spoke
the following few but eloquent and signifi
cant sentences:
MY Farm:a—For I feel that you
are all my friends—l stand before j
you, not as a maker of speeches, not
as a politician, but as a soldier. I
came among you to seek quiet and
repose,
and from the moment of' my
arrival I have received nothing but
kindness, Although I appear before
you as a stranger , I am not
1 am not altogether unacquainted
with your history. Your gallant
soldiers were with me in every bat
tle,
from the siege of Yorktown to I
the battle of Antietam, and here I
bear witness to their devotion to the j
cause for which we are fighting.— I
(Here the uproar compelled the Gen- I
eral to cease for a few moineets.)—
I also have to speak of the ever
faithful, ever true Taylor, the dash
ing,
intrepid Kearney—men who j
have given their lives for the main- I
tainance of our government. And
before bidding you good night. I
have this piece of advice to give you:
While the army is fighting, you, as citi
zens, see that the war is prosecuted for
the preservation of the Un ion and the
Constitution, for your nationality and
your rights as citizens."
Burnside on McClellan
A year ago Gen. Burnside address
ed a meeting atthe Cooper Institute,
New York, and in . the course of his
remarks said ask your forbear
ance, for your patience with your
confidence in the young chief who
has now assumed command. I have
known him most intimately, as stu
dents together, as -soldiers in the
field and as private students. For
years we have lived in the same
family, and I know him as well as
any human being on the face of the
earth, and 1 know that no more hon
est, conscientious man exists than
Gen. McClellan. I know that no
feeling of ambition beyond that of
the good and success of our cause
ever enters his breast. All that he
does is with a single eye, a single
view, to the success of this govern
ment and the putting down of the
rebellion. I know that nothing un
der the sun will ever induce that
man to swerve from what he knows
to be his duty. He is an honest,
Christian-like and conscientious man;
and now let me add one thing, that
he has the soundest lead and
clearest military perception of any
man in the United States:
Drafted Men and Substitutes
The Secretary of War has decided
that when a drafted man furnishes a
substitute that is accepted, the two
change places. The principal is lia
ble to another draft, if made, just as
he would be if he had not been
drafted at first, and the substitute is
bound, by the first draft of the prin
cipal, just as if be had been drafted
himself.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
On the 30th of June, 1862, at the
battle of White Oak Swamp, 11. H.
LINDSEY. JR., of Company 1, Eighth
Pennsylvania Reserves, fell mortally
wounded by a Minnie ball striking
him in the left breast, whilst cheering
his comrades forward. Shortly af
terward his regiment fell back, and
the field was immediately occupied
by the rebels, since which no tidings
have been received from Mr. LINDSEY;
but not a doubt remains in the minds
of any but that he is dead.
At a meeting of General Greene
Lodge, No. 493, 1. 0, of 0. F., the
following preamble and resolutions
were adopted :
WHEREAS, It has pleased Divine
Providence, in his inscrutable wis
dom, to permit our beloved friend
and brother, .11. 11. LINDSEY, JR., to
fall, whilst fighting for the Stars
and Stripes, on the gory field at
White Oak Swamp, and
WHEREAS, Our breasts are still
filled with the memory of those noble
qualities, a kindness of heart and
generous sympathy, which linked
him closely to all with whom he as
sociated; therefbre, be it
_Resolved, That in the death of bro.
LINDSEY WO have silstained an irre
parable loss, and a grief more sin
cere and poignant than the cold
formula of language can express, and
that he has lett a vacancy in our or
der that cannot be filled.
Resolved, That in observing the
career of brother LINDSEY frOM the
time he left our village till his fall
on the bloody field, it has been with
pride that we have noticed the unwa
vering integrity with which he ad
hered to the principles of our beloved
order: Faithful to duty, unswerving
in friendship, resolute in principle,
and never weary in well doing, his
loss cannot be supplied to his compa
ny, nor the spot made vacant which
holds his memory in our hearts.
Resolved, That the last words he
uttered to his comrades, "Forward,

Resolved, That we tender our sin
cerest condolences to the widowed
mother and orphaned sister, with a
trust that Divine consolation may
soften the rigor of this sad bereave
ment; that they aro not alone in their
sorrow, for the manly virtues of the
deceased have caused a general re
gret, and we trust have commended
him to God. Earth is not our abiding
place, and
"We may rise on stepping stones
Of our dead selves, to higher things."
Resolved, That as feeble tributes of
our respect and sympathy, a copy
of these resolutions be presented to
the family of the deceased, and be,
inserted in the county papers.

AYER'S . CATHARTIC PILLS
r `HE sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been
1 taxed their utmost to produce this beat, most perfect
purgative which is knows to man. innumerable
proofs are shown that these PILLS have virtues which
surpass in excellence the ordinary medicines, and that
they win unprecedentedly upon the esteem of all men.
They are sate and pleasant to take, but powerful to
cure. Their penetrating properties stimulate the vital
activities of the body, remove the obstructions of its or
gans, purify the blood, and expel disease. They purge
out the foul humors which breed anti grow distemper,
stimulate sluggish or disordered organs into their nat
us ti action, and impart healthy tone with strength to
the whole system. Not only do they cure the every
day complaints of every body, but also formidable and
tiang , rons diseases that have baffled the best of hu
man skill, While they produce powetful effects, they
are at the sate lisle, ill diminished doses, the safest
and best physic that can be employed for children.—
Being sugar coated, they at e pleasant to take; and be
lug purely vegetable. are free from any risk of harm.—
Cures have been made which surpass belief were they
not substantiated by men of such exalted position and
character as to f,rhid tie suspicion of U»/Tlllii. Many
eminent clergy men and physicians have lent their
nausea to com fy to the politic the reliability of our sew
ed!, s, while others have sent me the assurance of their
conviction that our Preparations contribute imn mutely
to the relief of my afflicted suffering fellow-men.

tire. all Diseases which require an evacuant medicine.
They also, by purifying the himMand stimulating the
system, cure many complaints which it would not he
supposed they could reach, such asDeafne,.s, Partial

rangements of the Live r and Kidneys. Gout, and other
kindred complaints arising from a low state of the body,
or obstruction of its functions.
Do not he put off by unprincipled dealers with some
