LATEST NY WS--8 If TELEGRAPH.
The telegraph on Thursday afternoon
brought a dispatch from Gen. Pember
ton, the rebel commander at Vicksburg,
to Jeff Davis's Secretary of War, claiming
that the Union forces at that city had
been repulsed.
The rebels contend that they retreated
from Murfreesboro in good order, and
say they have captured 4,0‘10 prisoners,
1,000 stand of arms and 24 cannon from
us.
Rumors ire again circulated of a change
in the command of the Army of the Poto
mac. It is said that Burnside has resign

Extra.; C-om ;it Kmaivipaiton Proclamation of
Jan. 1, 1,;•1',..1
THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
The Financipation Proclamation was
issued, according to promise, punctually
on the Ist dad• of January. It declares
freedom to the slaves (so far as th• Preai
dent's power is concerned,) in all the
Southern States, with the exception of
Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, Missou
ri, Delaware, and parts of Louisiana and
Virginia. Our views upon this document
are so well known that we need not re•
peat them now. It is sufficient to say
that from the very first day on which the
measure was advocated, we have opposed
it as unconstitutional, impolitic and con
trary to the rules of civilized warfare, and
we do not now mee any cause for chang
ing our mini. It will certainly add to
the divisions in the North and the Border
States, while it will the more thoroughly
unite the South in its determination nev
er to return to the Union. The war has
now become to the latter a question of
property as well as of opinion, and any
one who doubts what the effect will be
upon them, hai only to consider what
would be his own conduct under the same
circumstances.
THE PAPER MONOPOLY
We• think it is about time for the pub
lishers of the coun try to °ambience some
movement for the purpose of breaking
down the enormous speculation in paper,
which is now obliging them to pay twice
and three times as much for that article
as they did a few months ago. ♦t present
rates paper manufacturers and dealers are
coining vast sums of money, while the
publishers are every day becoming poorer.
The first effort should be directed towards
taking off the high tariff on foreign paper,
which is now imposed by our revenue laws,
and allowing European manufacturers to
come into competition with our own deal
ers, who have shown themselves by their
late course to be unworthy of protection
any longer. This measure could easily be
carried, if each editor who has any influ
ence with a member of Congress would
ezert it, and ~ ve would suggest to our
brethren that
. they attend to the matter
at once. Another valuable project would
be a convention of the newspaper men,
and an agreement among themselves not
to purchase any mote paper unless it is
furnished at a reasonable rate. If this
plan was generally adopted, it would soon
bring the manufacturers to terms.
The newspaper publishers have the Slit
jeot in thee• own hands, if they choose to
manage it. If they would but exhibit
one-half the zeal iu sustaining their own
interests, that they usually do in assailing
and endeavoring to injure one another,
they might soon inaugurate a state of af
fairs that would compel the greedy paper
monopolists to curse the day they ever
undertook to fatten their own pockets at
the expense of the entire community.
IRRUPTION OF NEGRORS.
The Jutuiial of Commerce, a paper whose
reliability and candor are as well establish
ad even as those of the famous old Nation
al InulligeneeT, is informed that "the dens
of poverty and misery in New York and
other northern cities are about to be rein_
forced by a large number of contrabands.
The military authorities are about to call
upon the benevolent in the North to pro-
cure homes and employment for the large
surplus of unfortunate negroes now on the
hands of the government. In its kindness,
the Government will try to employ the
men in good health, but ., the women, and
children must be sent North. That's the
way to do it, of course, and by the time
the four millions have been started on
their way to earthly glory, what a beauti
ful time we shall have in the Northern
States :"

FELLOW CITIZINS—In your prelon,'e
have solemnly sworn to support the roil
stitution of the United States with all it'
grants, restrictions and guarantees, and I
shall support it.
4-have also sworn to support auotta..z
Constitution—the Constitution of the Stale
of New York with all its powers and ri,!lit4
I shall uphold it. I have sworn faith
fully to perform the duties of the ottice of
Governor of this State, and with your mu
they shall be faithfully performed. The-t:
constitutions and laws are meant for the
guidance of official conduct and for your
protection and welfare.
The first law I find recorded for my 01,-
servance is that which declares "a shall
be the duty of the Governor to maintain
and defend the sovereignty and juri
Lim of the State." And the moat mar •
ed injunction of the Constitution to Iho
Executive is that he "shall take care that
the laws are faithfully executed."
These Constitutions do pot conflict the
line of separation, between the respon.l
- and obligations which each irn prig(' q
is well defined. They do not embarrass
us in the performance of our duties as
citizens or officials.
I shall not on this occasion dwell upon
the condition of our country. The power
and the Position of our own state has been
happily alluded to by my predeceaaor
My views upon this subject will be Lod
before you in a sew days in my message Lu
the Legislature.
This occasion, fellow citizens, wlr6n offi
cial power is so courteously transferred
from the hands of one political oreanipt
tion to those of another holding opposite
sentiments upon public affitirs, Is CPA
only a striking exemplification of Coe
spirit of our institutions, but highly hon
orable to the minority party. Had (Air
I misguided fellow citizens of the South
acted as the minority of the citizens of
our own State (—a minority but little in
ferior to the majority,) are now acting iii
this surrender of power, the nation wmil,l
not now be involved in civil war.
While fully aware that I shall have hut
little control of public affairs, in the posi
tion to which I have been called, and c4n
not do much to shape events, I yet ven
ture to trust that before the end of in
term of servioe, the country will be groat
glorious and united as it once was ; snit in
oonclusion, I now offer to Almighty God
my fervent prayer unit the clouds which
overhang us may be scattered, and that
the close of my official term may find o ur
people united in peace and fraternal affec
tion, and the Union restored to what it
was while we listened to the advice of our
fathers.
Fellow citizens — l thank you for this
kind reception—l thank those who differ
with me politically, fbr their presence
here and participation in this scene—fur it
affords emphatic testimony to the regard
for constitutional obligations yet felt )
the people of this great State.

ly one thousand persons have been engag
ed in this fraudulent business, though all
are not criminally implicated. A number
acted as brokers, who swindled poor tier
mans and others who had claim, agale , t
the Government, taking advantage of
their ignorance of the English language
and of the regulations for the payment of
such claims, and charging them an exor
bitant commission.' The contractors for
the subsistence and lodging of volunteers
induced Germans who had subsisted troops
to sign bills in blank, and in some cued
men who had never subsisted any troop
signed bills which amounted to thousands
of dollars. Of course the contractors, their
makers and their runners pocketed the
proceeds. teserea cases signatures to bills
were counterfeited. IL is that
the full extent of this stupendous and
wholesale swindle will never be known.
The citizens engaged in it will probibly Ibe
tried by the civil courts, and the military
men by court-martial.

,•,n.im of men are killed and desperately
woun.le•l The woods and roads are lined
with exhausted and cowardly stragglers
of both armies. The forces of each st the
outset were estimated at about seventy
thoubitud all told. Probably Bran had
ten thousand the most, consisting of ca
valry and conscripts. The Tennessee and
Kentucky troops fought like tigers. The
Union army were heroes almost to a man.
I have a list of over forty Union Generals,
Colonels, and Captains killed, and as
many more who are wounded.
The Richmond papers say that the re
bels destroyed two millions worth of pro
perty belonging to the Union army by an
attack on its rear on Tuesday night.
Our losses in all the engagements were
1,100 killed, about 6,000 wounded, and
several thousand prisoners. One-third of
the wounded will soon be able to resume
duty.
The Victories in the West
All conjecture in regard to the great
battle at Murfreesboro is happily set at
rest by the voluminous despatches, official
and otherwise, which have reached us
during the last few . days. Having made
herculean e ff orts to defeat Rosecrans, and
having failed, only gaining an advantage,
in one part of the field to loses more im
portant one in another part, the rebels
retreated with all their forces - on Sunday
morning. Our centre column was inune
cluttely pushed after them. The rebels
tell back to Tallahoma. The moat for
tot/4 apprehensions are relieved at this,
our , uccessful issue from thegreet contest.
Our loss in killed and wounded is various
ly estimated at from 5,000 to 10,000. In
one of the onsets the rebels made upon
our lines they were worsted so fearfully
that. their panic-stricken columns could
not be induced to rally, and continued
their retreat until they had placed a safe
distance between themselves and our
gun;
East T
lie rebel newspapers contain informa
tion of a successful expedition of Union
troops from Kentucky into East Tennes
see. They are said to have passed through
Pound Gap and penetrated East Tennes
see a distance of ninety miles. They
burned a railroad bridge at Zolliooffer and
another at Watauga, nine miles beyond.
This is a most importitnt and well timed
achievement. The some of it is close to
the Southern border of Virginia. It oats
off railroad communication between Ten
nessee and Richmond, and prevents, for
some time, the transfer of troops from
Virginia to Bragg's army. The bridges
appear to have been destroyed about the
30th or 31st ult., as the fact is mentioned
in Lynchburg papers of the lit inst. This
was while the battle wilt raging near liur
frees boro.

other sister of the Ex-Governor, has also
entered our service.
The trial of Gen. RcHinstry, on ac
count of alleged frauds in army contracts,
draws its slow length along. The defence
occupies a large space in the 81. Louis pa.
parr. The Rep sib: says :-
-IA does not become us to express an
opinion on the case now before the Court,
and we refrain from it—but we cannot
help thinking that, if no gnaw frauds
had been practised in other cities , than in
St. Louis, so fax as they have beeli devel
oped by the various trtbonals specially M.
signed for this duty, the National Trees.
ury would be some heathy of Wiliam
