FROM WASHINGTON.
Important Proclamation by the President.
-*-
TIME PROCLAMATION OF DEN. HUNTER
REPUDIATED.
General Totton on the Forts and sea-
Cost Defences.
WASHINGTON, MV 19
The President has issued a proclamation re
pudiating the alleged pr i clamation of General
Hunter as unauthorized, and of no validity and
effect, and reserving to himself alone the right
to determine whether he can constitutionally
adopt such a pulicy if the contingencies of the
war eventually make it necessary.
Gen, Totten, chief of the Engineer Depart
ment, has replied to the engineers ou the sub
ject of the changes which may have become
necessary in forts and other means of defence.
He lava down'llie following principles, and
which have always been maintained by engi
gineers, namely: Forts must fall before a com
petent land attack, and forts are competent to
resist and repel vesEele. Both of these princi
ples have been well settled by military experi
ence, and have received full illustration in the
recent attack on Fort Pulaski.
After an elaborate agument, he states the fol
lowing conclusions: That the plans of our sea•
board batteries cf the simplest possible character
cannot be im t roved essentially ; that the ma
terials being the strongest, most indestructible,
imperishable, and cheapest possible, no change
can be made in them with advantage ; that iron
has been used for years to guard the thinnest and
and most exposed parts of these batteries, audits
further use is perfectly easy on the existing
work- to any extent, and it is a question of
ec..nomy merely ; it will be applied wherever
needed ; the walls may be entirely iron covered.
That all the changes in ordnance and projectiles
are greatly in favor of land batteries and against
vessels, in any combat between the two. That
guns of unlimited size can easily be mounted
and covered on laud ; that no vessel can be
built and floated that will not be penetrable to
projectiles from such guns ; that one shot
rightly delivered will probably sink the vessel,
while the fort cannot be seriously injured by
the return fire of the vessel'; that the methods
of naval warfare cannot avail in such a contest;
that all the best results of modern science, skill
and experience are incorporated into these de
fences, as soon as these results are found to be
That while forts can now as always heretofore
be readily reduced by land batteries, they can,
n'A be reduced when duly armed and manned
by vessels. That the use of steam is a very
great and only exclusive advantage which
modern times have afforded to vessels. That
this advantage can he countervailed only by
increasing the number and especially the cali
bres of the guns of the land batteries. That
the need for a full supply of guns for our forts
is very great ; the want of them is dangerous.
That large calibres are insisted upon and to be
furnished immediately.
It is not intended by what has been said to
dispense with the employment of floating de
fences for our coasts at the different points
where their use is advantageous.
[SECOND DISPAICH.]
By the President of the United States of America:
A PROCLAMATION
WILSIGAS, there appears in the public prints
what purports to be a proclamation of Major
general Hunter in the words and figures,
to-wit:
HEAD QUARTFES, HILTON HEAD, S. C., }
Nay 9, 1862.
GENERAL ORDER, }
NO. 11.
The three States of Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina, comprising the military de
partment of the South, having deliberately
declared themselves no longer under the pro
tection of the United States of America, and
having taked up arms against the same, it be
comes a. military necessity to declare them
under martial law. This was accordingly done
ou the 25th day of April, 1862. Slavery and
martial law in a free country are altogether in
compattible. The persons in these three States,
Georgia, Florida and South Carolina, hereto
fore held as slaves, are therefore declared for
ever free.
(Official.)
(Signed) DAVID HUNTER,
Major General Commanding
EDWARD W. SMITH,
Acting Assistant Adjutant General
And whereas, The same is producing some ex
citement and misunderstanding ; therefore, I,
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United
States, proclaim and declare that the Govern
ment of the United States had no knowledge,
information or belief of an intention, on the
part of General Hunter, to issue such a pro
clamation, nor has it yet any authentic
information that the document is genuine, and
further, that neither General Hunter or any
other commander or person has been authorized
by the government of the United States to
make a proclamation declaring the slaves of
any State free, and that the supposed procla
mation now in question, whether genuine or
false, is altogether void so far as respects such
declaration. •
I further make known, that whether it be
competent fur me, as Commander in chief
of the Army and Navy to declare the
slaves of any State or States free, and
whether at any time, in any case, it shall
have become a necessity indispensible to the
maintenance of the Government, the exercise of
such supposed powers are questions which un
der my responsibility I reserve to myself and
which I cannot feel justified in leaving to the
decision of commanders in the field. Theodore
totally different questions from those of police
relations in armies and camps.
On the sixth day of March last, by a special
message, I recommended to Congress the adop-
tion of a joint resolution to be substantially as
follows:
Resolved, That the United States ought to co
operate with auy State which may adopt a
gradual abolition ment of slavery, giving to suli
State pecuniary aid to be used by such States in
its direction, to compensate for the Inconveni
ences of public and private losses produced by
such change of system.
The resolution in the language above quoted
was adopted by large majorities in both
branches of Congress and now stands an au-

thentic, definite and solemn proposal of the
Nation to the State and people most -imme
diately interested M the sut;ject matter. To
the people of those States I now earnestly
appeal. I do not argue. I beseech you to
makel the argument for yourselves, you can
not if you would be blind to the signs of the
times I beg of you a calm and enlarged
consideration of them, ranging if it may
be far above personal and partizan poli

a common object, casting no reproaches upon
any. It acts not the pharasee. The change it
contemplates would come gently as the dews of
Heaven, not rending or wrecking anything.
Will you not embrace it. So much good has
not been done by one effort in all past time,
or in the providence of God, it is no* your high
privilege to do. May the vast future not have
to lament that you have negleited it.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my

GLF.RIOUS NEWS FROM THE
OLD NORTH STATE.
[From the Newbera Progress, May 10.]
The information which wegive below is grati
fying to the lover of his country. North Caro
lina at last begins to awake to the fact that J.
Davis & Co., have been making a cat's paw of
the Old North State to poke their chestuts out
of the fire, and refuses longer to submit to the
disgrace and burden which has been imposed
upon her by the scoundrels at Richmond. The
old patriotic fires which binned so brightly at
Alamance and Mecklenburg are rapidly devel
oping themselves, and we trust will burn with
an increasing brilliancy upon the altars of
liberty. North Carolina is in a fair way of
being regenerated trom the thraldom of sin and
rebeldom. We trust that this may prove the
harbinger of better days, and that bright pros
pects are ahead for our beloved country. We
obtain the news by way of Washington, and
direct from Raleigh.
The arrest of Mayor ReSpess, of Washington,
N. C., who was seized in the night time in the
most summary manner and hurried off to
Richmond in irons, is creating a most intense
excitement in the State. The Governor of the
State, (who is not in prison, as reported) back
ed by the Convention, sent a peremptory de
mand to the Richmond authorities for the im-
mediate delivery of the person of Mayor
Respells, who was kept in close confinement.—
His trial WM - in progress when they received 1
the demand and the authorities at Richmond
informed the committee sent by Governor Clark
that there were a few mote witnesses to appear
in the case, and they 'desired to complete the
trial. The committee informed the authorities
at Richmond that the person of the mayor
must be delivered up forthwith, otherwise
North Carolina would send a force to back up
the demand of the Convention. Mr. Respess
was delivered over to the committee, and went
to Raleigh rejoicing. He was set at liberty and
is now on his way home to Washington, where
the Union citizens are preparing to give him an
ovation. This committee was also instructed
to, and did, deliver an order to the Virginia
chivalry that North Carolina was capable of
managing her own affairs, and that no more of
her citizens must be taken out of the State.
In connection with this matter we also learn
that J. Davis, a few days since ordered Gov.
Clark to furnish them all the means of trans
portation and defence possible to aid them in
the passage to and through the cotton States,
and also for additional troops. Gov. Clark,
backed by the Convention, informed him that
he had received all the aid from North Carolina
that he could expect, and that hereafter no
more troops would be permitted to leave the
State, and has ordered all the North Carolina
State troops home. -
Gov. Clark informed the rebels that they
could use the railroads in retreating homewards,
and that they would run their own risk of being
intercepted by a Union force at any part of the
State.
The above information comes from a member
of the Convention.
Governor Clark, of North Carolina, Op
poses the Act of the Rebel Military
Authorities.
[From the Raleigh, N. C., Standard, April 26.]
State of North Carolina, &waive
Department, Raleigh, April 15, 1862.
To TEE PEOPLE Or NORTH CAROLENA:-By an
advertisement in the public papers, signed W.
S. Ashe, you are informed that he will appoint
and send agents through every county in the
State to borrow, purchase, and, if necessary, to
impress all the ands now in the hands of private
citizens.
Any attempt to seize the arms of our citizens
is directly at variance with the Constitution,
and in opposition to the declared policy of the
Government, which makes it the duty of every
citizen to keep and bear arms, and protects the
arms of the militia even from execution for
debt.
But while I notify you that these agents have
no lawful authority to seize your private arms,
and you will be protected in preserving the
the means of self-defence. I must enjoin upon
you in this emergency, as an act of the highest
patriotism and duty, that you should discover
to the proper State authorities all public arms,
muskets or rifles, within your knowledge, and
of selling to the State all the arms, the proper
ty of individuals which can be spared.
The colonels of the several regiments will
act as agents for the State, and will notify me
whenever such arms are recovered or offered to
them. Their prompt and earnest attention is
called to the execution of this order.

Governor ex officio.

SURGEON GENERAL'S OFFICE,
STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, May 14th, 1862.
1112 Walnut St., Philadelphia.
Sitt—ln obedience to your orders of April
16th, 1862, and on reception of telegram from
the Medical Director of the army of the Foto-
UM in referen‘ e to services of surgeons in con
nection with the siege of Yorktown, I collected
the following gentlemen, who volunteered to
serve for two weeks under my command, and
in obedience to the regulations of the hospital
department of Pennsylvania.
Surgeons.—R. J. Levis, R. P. Thomas, David
Gilbert, Wm. L. Halsey, N. H. Fish, Lawrence
Turnbull, C. S. Bishop, D. S. Gloninger, H.
Lennox Hodge, J. W. S. Morris, I. lII' Bride,
Wm. P. Morn.
Assistant Surgeons. —Wm. H. Campbell, Geo.
W. Nebinger, Jno. Flynn, Ed. F. Gush, Joseph
W. Applegate.
Attendants.—Wm. Salvador, Wm. Phillips.
Cook: Jno. Lacy, (colored.)
Mr. Oscar Thompson volunteered to act as my
secretary and assist the wounded, and Capt. I.
P. Bankson, of the Quartermaster General's
Department of Pennsylvania, volunteered to
accompany the party as quartermaster, etc.
Sixty packages of stores, embracing bedding,
and surgical and medical appliinces of every
kind, were also forwarded, in advance, to Fort
Hisnroe, to await our movements.
Leaving Philadelphia April 18th, we landed
at Fort Monroe on the morning of the 19th, and
at once reported to medical director, I. M.
Cuyler, to whose prompt and courteous atten
tions we were indebted for quarters and facili
ties in the prosecution of our duties. Having
iortunately met the Hon. Jno. Tucker, Assist
ant Secretary of War, at the Fortress, every
facility of transportation was furnished ; the
accomplishment of the wishes of your excellency
being greatly aided by him.
Leaving half the party at the Fortress, the
balance were sent at Ir. x. ' to Cheeseman's
Lending, within four miles of Yorktown, where
leaving them I reported at headquarters to
medical director Wipler, and was warmly wel
comed.
Finding it difficult to locate the party in the
face of the enemy, and there being at the
moment no occasion for their services, they re
turned to Fortress Monroe to await events, and
prepare for service at an hour's notice.
April 22d.—Having obtained from Mr.
Tucker orders placing the propeller "W hill din"
at my disposal as long as I should deem it ne
cessary, I proceeded to take on board straw,
water, etc., obtaining my stores with much
ddlibulty, owing to the great demand on the
quartermaster's department, caused by the
hourly departure of troops. Leaving assistant
surgeons Campbell, Gush and Flynn on duty
at the "Hygeia" hospital, Fortress Monroe,
where the United States had a large number of
wounded in excellent hospitals, I started with
the rest of the party for Cheeseman's landing,
I there found the body of Lieutenant Wagner,
of the Topographical Engineers, awaiting trans
portation, it having been missed f.y the boat,
and consequently delayed for 24 hours. lat
once had a tent pitched, and embalmed it, for
warding it the next day to his friends, hundreds
of whom subsequently had the satisfaction of
seeing him, which otherwise would have been
impossible.
Proceeding the same evening to General
M'Clellan's headquarters, I was happy in being
selected by medical director Tripler, United
States army, to take charge, in behalf of the
United States, of the fine steamer Commodore.
This boat I at once proceeded to furnish and fit
up as a "general hospital" for the wounded of
all the States, she being capable of carrying
1,000 men. The selection of our party for this
duty was highly complimentary to the State,
the sanitary commission having an agent on
the spot ready to aid in the same duty.
Dividing the party, we prepared one boat for
the United States, the other for Pennsylvania
volunteers, entirely from our own stores, and
those furnished by the United States, and in 24
hours telegraphed to headquarters we were
ready, having prepared 200 beds. The same
day received Lieutenant Walton, of Averill's
cavalry sick from exposure.
April 251h.—Secured provisions and medical
stores from the U. S. commissary and medical
purveyor, and put up bunks, filled bedsacke,
etc., etc., in preparation for the reception of
the wounded. At BP. at., received Lieutenant
Colonel Bartlett, wounded this morning in the
knee so as to shatter the limb, and require am
putation on the field, after which he rode 7
hours. We at once supplied him with food,
etc., he having eaten nothing for 26 hours.—
We ale odressed the limb.
April 26th.—All the party were engaged in
preparing litters, staging, apothecary shop,
arranging stores, etc. During the ensuing
week we were continually occupied with the
reception and care of the wounded daily injured
in the trenches. We have embalmed since
our arrival and to this date six bodies as per
register annexed.
May 2d.—Drs. Dobbins, of Bellefonte, Craw
ford, of Juniata, Pepper, Morris and Broad
man, of Philadelphia, reported for duty. Sur
geons Gilbert, Moon, M'Bride, and Gtoninger
returned to Philadelphia.
May 4th.—At 7A. M., received news from
headquarters that our flag floated over York
town, the rebels having evacuated the place. I
at once rode to headquarters and consulted
with medical director Tripler. At 5 P. it.,
while taking on board wounded men received a
telegram from surgeon Tripler,
to get up steam
on the Whilldin and Commodore and run
round to Yorktown as soon as possible. As
both boats were aground, owing to a very low
tide, we were unable to get the Whilldin off
until P. M., the Commodore following at 4A.
M. next day, both boats having to obtain pi
lots. In the meantime we received a number
of men wounded in Yorktown by treading on
torpedoes left in the rebel works. General
Heintzleman's corps are in full pursuit. Heavy
firing is heard and the rebels are reported six
miles beyond Yorktown.. Drs. Grose, of Pitts
burg, and Pepper Morrie, of Philadelphia, be
ing desirous of returning home left the liospi
telt. During our stay at Cheeseman's landing
we have entirely equipped both boats and at
tended over 250 patients.
IsTim Tux, May 19
Nay sth.—Reached Yorktown, and at once
prepared for wounded, some of whom came on
board this night.
)Jay 6th.—Receiving wounded all day and
night. Dr. Hodge was sent for by the Sanitary
Commission to go on board the Ocean Queen to,
aid in receiving one hundred and fifty patients
from the sick of the hospital at Yorktown.
After rendering such service as he could, there
beiug no other physician, he returned to che
Hay 7th, &h and 9th.—Night and day were
spent in bringing wounded on board, and dres:-
ing their wounds. Over sixteen hundred
wounded men received the attention of our
surgeons. Ninety-seven of the - Confederate
wounr'ed were also carefully attended to as per
list annexed, at the same time the Pennsylvania
wounded were arranged and dressed on the
Whilklin. Visited all the hospitals on short
as far in the advance as Williamsburg, and a
ranged to receive their patients. The Commo
dore being full, Drs. Worthington, Crawford,
Dobbins, Boardman, Snimp; Morris, Flynn and
Gush went with the patients, May 9th, to Fort
Monroe. Drs. Nebinger and Thomss also went,
but returned to the Whilldin.
May 9th. —Loaded the steamers Daniel Web
ster and Jno. Brooks with wounded for the
United States.
May 10th. —Most, if not all the wounded be
ing'received, I sent to headquarters for orders
to leave.
May 11th.—Received Dr. Tripler at landing,
with sixty wounded. Carried them to the Jno
Brooks and left them in charge of Dr. Cabot, of
Boston, and three New Jersey surgeons. Having
fulfilled our mission, We left Queen's Creek and
ran to Fort Monroe, arriving in the evening.
Reported to Dr. Cuyler, and visited the Hygeia
and. Seminary hospitals, where I found about
ninety sick and a few wounded Pennsylvanians,
and agreed to take them home to relieve the
hospitals, which were quite full, and expecting
to receive six hundred patients the next day.
Jtay 12th.—Engaged all day, at Fort Monroe,
in receiving wounded and sick, and taking in
coal and water. Left for Philadelphia with
one hundred and sixty-five on board, at 5 P. M.
At 10 p: 31., on the 12th May, we arrived at
Vine street wharf. Mayor Henry having ordered
a large police force under chief Ruggles to at
tend to the disembarkation of the wounded,
and also to aid in carrying them into the hos
pital, this movement was readily and quickly
accomplished arta we are indebted to the police
for most valuable services at'a late hour of the
night.
During this arduous service, of four weeks'
duration, I have been most ably seconded by
all the medieatofficers of the party but espe
cially by Surgeons R. P. Thomas, H. Lennox
Hodge, G. W. Nebinger and J. Campbell, who
from first to last, were untiring in their efforts
to aid the wounded and second the plans of the
State.
Sisters Monica, Philomene, Camillus, Mary,
Anselm, Lorentia, Felix and Burns, of the
Sisters of Mercy and of the Order of St. Joseph
exhibited a, self-sacrificing spirit, directed by
such sound judgment, as won the esteem and
affection of all.
Mr. Oscar Thompson aided me greatly in
conducting an extended correspondence with
the friends of soldiers on, or supposed to be on
the field, as well as in the transportation of the
Capt. T. P. Bankson added much to the com
fort and usefulness of the party by his activity
and enterprise in securing stores, &c. He proved
a valuable addition to the party.
In affording relief to the New Jersey volun
teers and troops of other States, the arrange
ments of Pennsylvania were eminently useful
and gratefully acknowledged ; in fact thii State
was the only one represented near Yorktown
by a free and independent arrangement for the
relief of the wounded. •
The embalming of the dead afforded great
satisfaction, the chief regret being that its ben
efits could not be extended to those seeking it
for dead soldiers of other States by whom
innumerable applications were made.—
The few exceptions hereafter exhibited
were, in accordance with special and earnest
requests of the parties named. Four bodies of
Pennsylvania soldiers killed at West Point were
by mistake sent past me to Fort Monroe, where
the authorities ordered them to be buried owing
to advanced decomposition. Most of the Penn
sylvania regiments in the neighborhood of
Yorktown were brigaded with other States, and
so scattered as not to be within reach of our
services for their men. Comparatively few
also were engaged or suffered in the various
actions from Yorktown to West Point. The
Pennsylvania Reserve regiments were not with
Gen. McClellan.
The wounded are now comfortably located at
St. Joseph's Hospital, Philadelphia, corner of
Girard Avemie and' Seventeenth street, which
is held by the State for the use of our troops.
They are all doing well, and have every pros
pect of recovery. Of the fifty badly wounded
men brought by me from Winchester and
placed in this Hospital, all have recovered ex
cept three, who died from the effects of their
wounds. No one has lOst a limb since entering
the Hospital. The friends of the wounded are
admitted to the Hospital after 8 P. at. daily,
except Sunday, this being quite as much ex
citement as can be borne by patients who are
seriously injured.
The expenditures will be presented to the
Auditor General in the usual form, but as yet
have been quite small in proportion to the
number relieved.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
HENRY H. SMITH,
Surgeon Gen. of Penna.
