BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : A PROCLAMA TION—Whereas, on the 23d day of September, in the year of our Lord 1862, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States ontaining, among other things, the following to wit: That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord 1863, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward and forever free, and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority 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 effort they may make for their actual freedom; That the Executive will, on the Ist day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people therein respectively shall then be in rebellion against the United States, and the fact that any State and people thereof shall, on that day be in good faith represent ed 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 participated, shall, in the absence of such strng counter vailing testimony, he deemed con clusive evidence that such State and the people thereof' are not then in rebellion against the United States. Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lin coln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as commander-in,Chief of the army and navy of the United States, in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppress ing the said rebellion, do, on this, the first day of January, in the year of our Lord, 1863, and in accordance with my purpose so to do—publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days from the day first above mentioned—order and desig nate as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof are this day in rebellion against the United States, the following, to wit : Arkansas; Texas; Louisana, ex cept the parishes of Saint Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, Saint James, Ascension, Assumption, Terrebone, Lafauche, Saint Martin, and Orleans, including the city of New Orleans; Mississippi ; Alabama ; Florida ; Georgia ; South Carolina ; North Carolina, and Virginia, except the fortpeight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomae, Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Pricess Anne, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and which I excepted parts are for the present left precisely as if the proclamation were not issaed. And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within the said designated States, and parts of said States, aro and henceforward shall be free, and that the gltecutive Government of the United States, including the mil itary and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the free dom of said persons. And I hereby enjoin upor_ the peo ple so declared to be free to abstain from all violence unless in necessary self defence, and I recommend to them that in all cases, when allowed, they lauor faithfully for reasonable wages. And I further declare and make known that such persons of suitable condition will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations and other places, and to man vessels, of all sorts in the said ser vice, and upon this act, sincerely be lieved to be an act of ,justice, war ranted by the Constitution upon mil itary necessity, I invoke the consid erate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God. In "witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Staten to be armed.— Done at the City 4.4.

ALBANY . , Jan. : 76-74.111Wern or Sey mour sent in kris message to the Legislature toed '., On -the subject •of national afkiris, he says that not only is national life at stake, but every personal, every family, every sacred interest involved. The truths of our financial and military situa tion must not be kept back. There must be no attempt to put down the expression of public opinion. Af frighted at the ruin they have fraught, the authors of our calami ties at the North and South, insist that this War hits been caused by an unavoidable contest about slavery. This has been the subject and not the cause of the controversy. We are to look for the causes in the pervading disregard of the obligations of the laws and constitution and disregard for the 'constituted authorities, and, above all, in the local prejudices which have; grown up in the two por tions of the Atlantie States—the two extremes of our country. There is no honest statement of our difficul ties which does not teach that our people must reform themselves as well u s the conduct of the govern ment and the policy of its rulers.— It is not too late to save our coun try, if we will enter upon the sacred duty in the right spirit and in the right way. Where it is the right of Our government to decide upon mea sures and policy, it is our duty to obey and give a ready support to their decisions. This is the vital maxim of liberty. This war should have been averted, but its flood gates were opened. The Administration could not grasp dimensions nor control its sweep. The government was borne along with the current and strug gled as best it could With the resist less tide. Few seemed able to com prehend its military or financial problems. Hence we arc not to sit in harsh judgment upon errors in conduct or policy; but while we con cede all these excuses for mistakes, we are not to adopt errors nor sanc tion violations of principles. The same causes Which extenuate their faults in judgment must make it more vigilant to guard against their influences. The Governor urges that econerny and integrity in the administration of affairs aro vital in periods of war. He says meddlings and intrigues have 'thwarted and paralyzed the valor of our soldiers and the skill of our Generals within the influence of the capitol, while our armies have gained victories in Acids remote there: from. The Governor says the national constitution must be held inviolable, and he contends that the rights of States must be respected as not less sacred, A consolidated government would destroy the essential home rights and the liberties Of the people, On the subject of arbitrary arrests, he says : The suppression of journ als and the imprisonment of persons has been glaringly partizan, Con scious of these gross abuses, an at tempt has been made to shield the violators of law, and suppress inquiry into - their motives and conduct.— This attempt will fail. Unconstitu tional ants cannot be shielded by un constitutional law, I shall not in quire what right the States in rebel lion have forfeited, but I deny that this rebellion can suspend a single right of the citizens of the loyal States: I denounce the doctrine that civil war in the South takes away from the loyal North the benefits of one principle of civil liberty. It is a high crime to abduct a citizen of this State. It is made my duty by the Constitution to see that the laws are enforced ; 1 shall investigate every alleged violation of our statutes, and see that offenders are brought to jus tice. Sheriffs and District Attorney's are admonished that it is their duty to take care that no person within their respective countieE, are impris oned, nor carried by force beyond their limits, without the duo process of loyal authority. The Governor, at some length, condemns the exercise of power un der the martial law as destructive of the rights of States, and of the Leg- islature and judicial departments of the General Government. He de clares that the President's emancipa pation proclamation is impolitic, un just and unconstitutional, and calcu lated to create many barriers to the restoration of the Union, and ho ac companied by a firm and conciliatory policy to restore our Union with Ihe least possible injury to both sections. The Governor concludes : "At this moment the fortunes of our country are influenced by the results of the battles of our army in the field, which must he supported. All con stitutional demands of our General Government must be promptly re sponded to. Under no circumstances can a division of the Union be conceded. We will put forth every exertion of power. We will use ev ery policy of conciliation. We will hold out every inducement to the people of the South to return to their allegiance consistently with honor. We will guarantee them ev ery right, every consideration de manded by the Constitution and by that fraternal regard which must prevail in a eommor country, but we never can voluntarily consent to the breaking up of the Union of these States or the destruction of the Con stitutipm" WANTEO: FIVE THOUSAND customers to limy my boots, shoes, hats and which I have reduced in price, notwith standing the rise in boots and shoes, hats and caps.

Thee hierfreesbore Battlti—The Rebels Retreating.. Gen. Ron eieralis' Report. Murfreesboro advices received hi LoulisVille last night, represent the Federal victory as complete The en tire rebel army is falling back toward Tullahoma in great disorder. Gen eral Rosecrans telegraphs to General Ira Heck the following report :—On the 26th of December we marched front li - ashVille in three columns, Mc- Cook's corps by the Nashville pike, Thomas' from its encampment on the Franklin pike, via Wilson's pike, and Crittenden's on the main Murfrees boro pike. The left and center met with a strong resistance, such as the nature of the country, rolling or hil ly, routes skirted by- cedar thickets and interspersed by small streams, with rocky bluff banks, forming se rious obstacles. General McCook drove Hardee's: corps a mile and a half from Nolinsville, and occupied the place. Cri'aenden reached within a mile and a half of Lavergne. Thomas reached the Wilson pike, meeting with no serious opposition, On the 27th McCook drove Hardee from Nolinsville, and pushed a reconciler ing division six miles towards Shel byville, and found that _Hardee had retreated towards Murfreesboro.— Crittenden fought., and drove the en' ems before him, occupying the lino of Stewart's Creek, capturng some prisoners, with but a slight loss.— Thomas occupied the vicinity of Nol insville; where he was partially sur prised and thrown into confusion and driven back. Sheridan's division re pulsed the enemy four times, and protected the flank of the center, which not only held its own, but advanced 111)01 this untoward event, which compelled me to retain the left wing to support the right until it should be rallied and assume a new position On the first, the rebels opened by attack on us, and were again re pulsed: On the second, skirmishing along the front, w;th threats of an attack until abort three in the after noon, when the. enemy advanced in a small division thrown across Stone river to occupy the commanding ground. While reconnoitering the ground occupied by this division, whiCh had no artillery, I saw a heavy force emerging from the woods, and adVancing in line of battle, three ' lines deep: they drove our little divis ion before them, after a sharp con test, in which we lost seventy Or eighty killed and three hundred and seventy-five wounded, but they were repulsed by Negley's division and the remaining troops of the left wing, headed by Morton's pioneer brigade, and fled far over the field and beyond their entrenchments, the officers ral lying them with great difficulty.— They lost heavily, We occupied the ground with the left wing last night. The lines were completed at four o'clock in the morning. This occu pied my time until tour o'clock and fatigued the troops. The commencement of the retreat was known to me at seven o'clock this morning. Our ammunition train arrived during the night. To day we engaged in distributing the ammunition, burying the dead, and coilecting the arms from the field of battle. The pursuit was commenced by the center, the two leading Sri gades arriving on the west side of the Stone river this evening. The railroad bridge was saved, but in what I condition is not known. We shall occupy the town and push the pur , suit to-morrow. The Medical Director estimates the wounded in the hospitals not short of 5,500, and our dead at 1,000. We have to deplore the less of Lieut Col. Garesche, whose capacity and gen tlemanly deportment had already en deared him to all the officers of this command, and whose gallantry in the field of battle excited their ad miration. (Signed) W. S. RosEettaxs, Maj. Gen. Com. In a later dispatch, dated the 4th, Gen. Roseerans says : Following my dispatch of last evening, I have to announce that the enemy are in full retreat. They left lust night. The rain having raised the river, and the bridge across it betwcun the left and center being incomplete, I deem ed it prudent to withdraw that wing during the night LATER FROM THE BATTLE FIELD. The Nashville correspondent of the Associated Press telegraphs the following:—The rebels attacked our forces at seven o'elock p. in., on Sat urday. They were posted strongly in rifle pits, and were repulsed with terrible slaughter. The fight contin ued two hours. At 1 o'clock, Sunday morning, the rebels commenced to retreat. At noon Stanley's cavalry entered Murfreesboro', and captured a number of prisoners, guns and stores. The federals, on Sunday morning, in force, occupied Murfrees boro'. The enemy has gone to Tulla homa. Fifty-four hundred of our wounded are in Murfreesboro. No Confeder ates or guerrillas are on the road,— Gen. Cheat ham is reported killed by a shell in a house at Murfrees boro. The enemy is whipped out and gone. The Cumberland river has risen four and a half feet since last night.

Dickey upon the Mobile and Ohio Railroad are given as follows in a letter from Holly Springs :—Colonel Dickey, with eight hundred men from the Seventh Illinois and Second lowa, started eastward from Water Valley, and reaching Tupelo, sent two companies of the Second lowa to burn the trestle work on the rail road north and south of that place. Another detachment was dispatched to Coonewar, where a quartermaster of Bragg's army was captured while on a :visit to relations. The rail road depot containing a large amount of commissary stores was burned and all the bridges, five of them large ones, from thirty-four miles from Saltillo to Oxolona, com pletely destroyed. This was done to delay or divert the movement of rebel cavalry in the direction of Cor inth or Jackson, and the affair result ed quite successfully as far as that is concerned. Colonel Dickey reports verbally the destruction of fifty thousand bushels of corn at Okolona, besides the commissary stores, five thousand feet of heavy timber for re pairing trestles, and the capture of two hundred prisoners, including cavalry, scouts, and cotton burners, together with one hundred and four new wall-tents, and eighteen boxes infantry equipments. The MeCleruand ExpeOhiou A special dispatch from the Yazoo river says - , —The advance of the ezc pedition down the Mississippi river was marked by much destruction of property. lialt of the town of Fri ar's Point was burnt down. The plantation building at the mouth of White river were also burned.— Gaines' Landing was destroyed. A thousand cords of wood around Milli ken's fend were entirely burned up. At every land;ng place the troops applied the torch. We arrived at the mouth of the Yazoo on Christ mas morning, and moved into the river on the 26th, debarking the troops on the 27th, eighteen miles above, Vicksburg. The army moved forward early. The day has been spent in building bridges to cross the creeks and bayous. Sherman reports that he will be on the bluffs back of Vicksburg at midnight to-night.— The whole army is ordered to ad vance at daylight to-morrow. There was some desultory skirmishing to day, the enemy resisting the buil l ing of bridges. There was no great toss on Our side, and the work was prosecuted without interruption and with success. Everything is encouraging and promises the speedy and victorious termination of the seige. The ene my is reported fourteen thousand strong, and strongly entrenched.— The rifle pits extend entirely around Yielvsburg two miles from town.— Seventy guns are in position on the Mississippi front. The gunboats made a demonstrstion on the batter ies on Haines' Bluff this afternoon.— The action lasted an hour and a quart er and was quite brisk. The enemy revealed seven heavy rifled guns. all mounted in separate batteries on the face of the bluff. Their position is formidable, defending a raft that ob stracts the river. Our troops are now getting in the rear for an attack on Vicksburg on Monday. Parragut and Banks have not yet arrived, but is hourly expect ed. Jeff. Davis: was at Vicksburg from Saturday until Tuesday morn ing. Important from Vicksburg— Five Days hard Fighting, so A Memphis special, of the 2d, to the Cincinnati Commercial says : By the gunboat Rattler, Captain Lanthorne, which has arrived direct from Vicksburg, we aro in possession of additional particulars ,>f the great tight for the possession of that city. Tlia Rattler left Vicksburg on Mon- day morning. At the time she left, a terrific fight had been in progress for five days. The attack was made en Wednesday. Up to Monday morning Sherman had succeeded in possessing three lines of the enemy's works. The firing on the fourth and last line of defences, on the Jackson and Vicksburg Railroad, had ceased, and the indications were that it had been surrendered. This last line of fortifications from the rear was just two miles from Vicksburg. The im pression of the officers of the Rattler is that there is no doubt of the fall of Vicksburg betbro this time. ler In consequence of the threats of Jeff. Davis against Gen. Butler and his officers, commis9ioned officers iu our hands will be retained, and only privates and non-commis sioned officers given up.

H. L. WRIGHT, Maj. Gen. Exciting from Vicksburg ! ! Our Army in a Perilous Position !! CAuto, Jan. 7.—We have ono days' later intelligence from Vicksburg of a highly interesting and exciting character. The rebels have concen trated all their forces from Jackson and Grenada, and all along the line of road, amounting to 65,000 men at Vicksburg. This overwhelming force attacked Gen. Slierman on Monday causing him to fall back to his first line of defences. The rebel entrenchments and fortifications extend back from the city six miles. General Sherman's force had fought itself to within two miles of the city, when he was at tacked ny the superior force of the rebels. The fighting on Sunday is repre sented as having been desperate in the extreme. Batteries and fortifi cations were taken and retaken; whole regiments, and even brigades, fought hand to hand over their guns, for the possession of the defences.— The Fourth lowa regiment lost six hundred men killed, wounded and missing. General Hovey, with fif teen hundred men, was sent to ex ecute a special order, but since then had not been heard from. Fears are entertained for his safety.. Nothing has yet been beard from the Federal forces below, nor can we learn that our gunboats have taken any part in the action. It is reported that rebel steamers are crossing from the _Louisiana shore to Vicl;slourg, and are supposed to be car ryirg reiuforcements tp the reb els. The last accounts stated that the rebel Gen. Holmes was marching in ethe direction of Vicksburg, and that it was not improbable that lie had already arrived there. General Zit L. Smith, of the U. S. A., has been wounded in the breast. There was some fighting on Tuesday morning after Sherman had fallen back, but it was thought that he could maintain his position. The report that Sherman was reinforced by Grant is incorrect. It is reported that Gorman is evac uating llelena, Arkansas, with the in tention of occupying Napoleon.— Gen. Sherman's loss estimated at tour thousand to five tboaand.— Tiains are running on the Memphis liailroud to Lagrange. General Jo seph E. J,..linson commands the rebel forces at Vicksburg. Important from Gen. Rosecrans. Our whole loss at Murfreesboro' in killed, wounded and mis s ing, says a Louisville dispatch, is not over 7,000. The rebels lost from 12,000 to 15,000. Our army is chasing the rebels. Our rear on the 6th was eight miles be yond .lurfreesboro'. It is reported that a rebel wagon train was cap tured eighteen miles beyond .Mur lreeshoro' On Monday. The rebel General Raines was buried on Tues day. No demonstration was allowed. The bodies of Gen. _Hanson, Captain Todd, of the 6th Kentucky, and Capt Ferguson, of the Louisville Le gion, were brought in yesterday.-- Considerable quantities of contra band goods were captured by • our pickets.
