a rebellion was existing CAI the 3rd

of the writ of habeas corpus in any
State throughout the United States,

as, in the judgment of the Presi

that the privilege of the said writ

The Abolition papers aro oonstautly de
nouncing the Democracy as " traitors"
and enemies of the country. If this is so,
the Providence Poet says "it is certainly
wonderful that the Abolitionists should
be striving to get so many of them into
the army. In New York they proposed
to take about nineteen Democrats to every
ten Republicans drafted, and in this State
every member of the Republican 'Union
League' who has been drafted, has been
willing to accept a Democratic substitute.
It is said, upon what we consider good
authority, that the Union Leagues here
embraced three-fourths of the Republi
can voters in the towns in which they
were located ; yet we think it cannot be
shown that a single member of that or
ganization out of the whole number draft
ed, has put on Uncle Sam's uniform, or
that one of them has volunteered as a
substitute. They seem perfectly willing
to trust the defense of the country to 'the
enemy '—the copperheads."

known to many of our people as a gradu

he but recently completed his medical
coins:, he gives promise of great auccess

As a reason imhy the President should
not recall his Proclamation of Einanci
mtion the New York Tribune said in a
recent issue :
A hundred days grac. was given hi
which it might be recalled, and the in
dulgence was disregarded. Will another
hundred days, or any number of hun
dreds, be accepted, even if the President
could unmake lona
To this the World responda briefly as
follows. We ask all men of sense to say
whether the point it. wakes is not sound :
Now if to recall the proclamation
would be to unmake laws, it necessarily
follows that to isssue the proclamation
was an exercise of the power to wake
laws.
But the legislative power of the Federal
Government is vested by the Constitniion
of the United States exclusively in Con
gress ; hence it must be apparent, even
to the Tribune, that the proclamation is
unconstitutional, null and void.
The Tribune, however, will no doubt
fall back upon the novel doctrine of the
Republican party, Wet iii time of war
all the powers and attributes of govern
ment are vested in the President.
In this view its reason for not recall
ing the proclamation is just no reason at
all, for if the President hes the power to
make laws, and therefore to issue the
proclamation of emancipation, he must
also possess the power to "nuwake laws,"
and consequently to recall the "pope's
bull against the comet."

Probable Deolgloo of 6011. Lee
From Fortress Monroe . , says a
Washington special, we have intelli
gence through General Foster to the
effect that large bodies of rebels con
tinue to pass down to Richmond
from Lee's army. They all des
tined, according to report, for
Charleston and Chattanooga. This
transition has been so constant as to
lead him to express the opinion that
Lee's army is breaking, with a view
of abandoning Richmond and mass
ing at some more Southern poiflt.—
A contrary opinion is held by some
officers and others—that this move
ment of troops is a sham, Lee's real
design being to draw Meade away
from Washington as far as possible,
and then by a sudden movement flank
him and attack the city. Lee's bead
quarters are at Richmond, and it is
said that the rebels rely on the co
operation of the iron-clads, which
they say are on their way here from
England, a d by which they expect
to k)rce a passage up the Potomac.

NEW YORK, Sept. Morris Is
land lettetr to the Herald, dated the
11th, says : li'ver since our occupip
tion of Wagner and Gregg, the re
bels have been exeoeding morose and
savage—they do not allow us a mo
ment's peace. They fire night and
day upon Wagner, but they left us
such an admirably constructed work,
and so capacious and safe bomf.-
psoofs, no one is injured—they are
often enough during the night to ein
able us to sleep soundly.
Siive Tuesday ten or twelve de
serters have come in from James Is
land, belonging 1.0 Georgia regi
ments. They report continued dis
satisfaction among I,lie men, and a
general desire to escape from a ser
vice which has become disagreeable
to them. They state that the rebels
are building several new batteries on
Sullivan's Island, above Fort Moul
trie and Battery Bee. to cover the
channel to the city. Additional bat
teries arc also being constructed in
the most approved style between
Fort Johnson and the city, on James
Island, on which they are mounting
10 inch columbiadsand 7 inch Brooks
rifles.
On the Green at the city the rebels
have mounted a 13 inch Blakely rifle,
which they have just received frcm
Mobile, where it was brought with
another of the same calibre in an
Anglo rebel blockade runner two
weeks ago. A second of them. is in
Charleston, not mounted. It was at
first proposed to mount it on Fort
Johnson, but that idea was given up,
and so tar as deserters know, no
place had yet been determined upon
where it could be put in position.
Ninety monster projectiles, weigh
ing over 500 pounds each, were lyin g
by the side of the gun on Charleston
Green.
The health of the command is
good. The soldiers need fresh veg
etables. Gen. U•ilmore has issued a
thirty days' furlough to privates
who have distinuished themselves
in the recent siege. They are not to
exceed two per cent. of the effective
force on the Island, and must be re
commended by their Colonel.
The Latest News.
Rosecrans is reported to be outnumber•
ed, but at last advises was maintaining
his position. A battle was imminent.
The Philadelphia Press has the follow
ing from the Army of the Potomac :—Our
army will not have to rest this side of the
Rapidan. For two days our soldiers have
been without fire, fearing to attract the
enemy's attention, who would have shell
ed them.
General Kilpatrick made several_ feints
to cross the Rapidan, but found he could
not live a moment on the other side. Yes
terday and to-day the rebels crossed the
Rapidan near Raccoon Ford, and drove 150
of our men away, but were afterwards
driven back in confusion by us. We lost
about thirty.
Rumor says that a strong force of rebels
crossed at Raccoon Ford this morning and
captured one hundred and fifty of our cav
alry. The rebels have a strong position
on the Rapidan, but no great: force.
THE SUCCESSES OF A WEEK.*
September promises to equal July as a
month of victories for our arms. During
last week alone the following important
achievements were recorded:—The cap
ture of Forts Wagner and Gregg, with the
whole of Morris Island ; the occupation
of ; the capture of Chattanooga
and expulsion of Bragg's antay ; the cap
ture of Cumberland Gap, with two thous
and prisoners and fourteen pieces of artil
lery ; the capture of Fort Smith and occu
pation of Little Rock, Arkansas, involving
the complete overthrow of the rebel power
in that State ; the capture of Bristol, Ten
nessee, cotnnianding West Virginia, the
mountainous part of North Carolina, and
completing the liberation of Tennessee
from rebel control. in addition to these
successes during the last week we had in
formation of a naval assaalt on Fort Moul
trie, and a further advance of Gilmore's
operations against Charleston ; of the
movement of the Army of the Gulf on an
importapt expedition , of rebel reverses at
Bath and Moorefield, in Western Virginia,
and of other events indicative of a glorious
activity in all parts of the military field.
This week opens with the hew advance of
the Army of the Potomac and the oczu
pation of Culpepper, and we shall doubt
less hear, before its close, of important
successes in Georgia, and probably, of vic
tories also in Texas and Alabama.

Folly Island, and after a part of Morris Island
fell into our hands, transported the weaker

then detailed on duty in the trenches in front
of Fort Wagner. There were three Regiment*

were under the fires of Moultrie, Wagner.
