By THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AMERICA,
A PROCLAMATION
Whereas, The term of service of a part of
the volunteer forces of the United States
will expire during the coming year; and
whereas, in addition to the men raised by
the present draft, it is deemed expedient to
call out three hundred thousand volunteers
to serve for three years or the war, not how
ever exceeding three years;
Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Pre
sident of the United States and Commander,.
in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, and
of the militia of the several States when
called into actual service, do issue this my'
_proclamation, calling upon the Governors of
the different States to raise and have enlisted
into the United States service, fur the va
rious companies and regiments iu the field
from their respective States, their quotas of
three hundred thousand men.
I do further proclaim that all volunteers
thus called out and duly enlisted shall re
ceive advance pay, premium, - and bounty, as
heretofore communicated to the Goyernors
of states b the War Department, through
the Prot ust Marshal-Geller:o's (Alice, by spe
chd letters.

fur the draft.
I further proclaim that if any State shall
fail to raise the tomb: assigned to it by the
War Department under this call, then a 'lraft
for the deficiencyin said quota shall he made
on Said State, or on the districts of said
State, for their due proportion of said quota;
and the said dratt shall continence on the sth
day of January, 18;4.
And I further proclaim that nothing in
',Oils proclamation shall interfere with exist
ing orders, or those which may be issued,
for the present draft in the States where it is
-now in 111'0141:43,th Us' tthare. it. has _nut

The tluutas of the States and Districts will

and the recruiting will lie 'coin:to:led in ac

In issuing this Proclamation, I address
myself not only to tho Governors of
the several dates, lint also to the good, and
loyal people thereof. intuiting them to lend
their willing, cheerful, and effective aid to
the measures thus adopted, with a view to
reinforce our victorious armies now in, the
field, and bring our neviltul military opera
tions to a prosperous end, thus closing fon.
ever the fountains of sedition and civil war.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of,llic United
States to be affixed.

insufficient—that the agents of slavery were

the whole north was convulsed with social
disorganization, so as to make the slave em

idea is significantly dwelt upon also in that

WILLIAM 11. SewARD, Secretory Qf State
Our Platform Vindicated.
The recent Union victories in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, have been won upon the identical
platform laid down iu the Express in January
1863, and from which we have not deviated a
line druing all the charges of individuals and
parties In the intervening time. During that
time this platform of "Union for the sake of
the Union" has been hod) rejected and accept
ed by the leaders of both parties in this coun
try. In 1861 the lenders of the Republican
party rejected it, and their principal candid
ates were defeated, 38 we warned them in ad
vance they would be. The Democratic lead
ers went into that campaign otLour platform
and won. They then tell back on their old
party tactics, and some of them had the ef.
frontry to suppose that the Express would
abandon its cherished and declared principles
by either supporting their candidates or re
maining "neutral." They forget that while
in ordinary times "to be neutral is to be noth
ing," in a state of war, with the life of nation
at stake, neutrality is a crime. This year the
issue was distinctly drawn between party lines
and the Union, and the result is a complete
victory of national significance and impor
lance. The Philadelphia Press truly says,
this victory was "not won by any party."—
That is the first great truth. The victory was
won by the people, irrespective of all parties,
and iu the purest devotion to the Union. The
Government is sustained not merely by the
Republicans who elected Mr. Lincoln, but by
the Douglas Democrats, who voted against
him, by many who supported Mr. Bell, and
many, oven, who repent of their adherenoe to
Breokinridgo. It is thus sustained because
it is the Government of the Union—an Ad
ministration attacked by open traitors, and
secret traitors ; because to strengthen it is to
strengthen the Republic. This primal truth
underlies the success of thereampaign ; it must
be remembered, if the speedy subjugation of
the rebellion is desired ; -it must not be for
gotten, if the North is to be united against
treason."
AS announced nearly three years ago, the
Eipreas will consistently adhere to this plat
from until the rebellion is orushe and the
national integrity restored. We are with all
men, of whatever party, who stand upon that
platform. We are against all men, without
distinction of party, who attempt to interpose
their party between the Government, and
Victory.

lightly upon the territory when the. combat•
ants join issue. It has alleviations in certain
cases, and perhaps there never was a war
which exhibited more of these, so far as the
loyal States are concerned, than this of ours,
where the conflict rages in the midst of the
wicked men who began it, leaving our north
ern domain unscathed, and even prosperous.
Our heroes who fall in battle die willingly ; for
to their eyes the case of freedom hallows the
sacrifice, and they know that their country
men will honor them through all coming time.
The sick and wounded aro content under

require peace Democrats to tell us that, and
read us hypocritical homilies on so trite a
theme? We knew well enough the inevita

attendant calamities, which make so inelan•

so many insults patiently, and even saw our

people. Only when, in addition to these
wrongs, traitors in arms attempted revolu
tion, did we resist with similar weapons ; and
hence this war, which unworthy partisans
would charge upon the north, knowing full
well its origin in a southern conspiracy.
Frankly -and truly did the 'Vice President of
the southern confederacy acknowledge in the
beginning of the revolt that the south had dn
dured no wrong, but had even more than her
shore in the adutment of common benefits.
We resisted the arnied violence because we
saw that even a division of the republic just
ns thearatturs chose to dictate, with the loyal
States thrown in as their victims, and every
loyal man abandoned to a cruel persecution,
would fail to satisfy an arrogance and• a tyr

that imperatively needed a check before any

copperheads ask us to desist, and declare an

such a measure but reinvigoration of the
wicked rebellion, and a prolongation of the
wait'?
The recent elections have declared that such
are the unalterable views of the American peo
ple. Abhorring war for conquest or glory,
they accept it when forded upon them by an
unreasonable enemy. They resist him in the
attempt to overthroW the noblest republic of
all the earth. The blood-guiltiness rests on
the heads of the traitors alone. Every true
Democrat should recognize these manifest
truths, and, renouncing the unfaithful leaders

General McClellan and the Penn

- Gen McClcllnu says thiiNew.lorF.77, —
who was so slow in the military field, is rath
er faster in the political. We have at last a
dash from him—a regular slap dash. At his
re.reot in New Jersey, ho learns from "'axe
liable gentlemen" that there is danger that
the Copperhead line will not come up to the
scratch; and he no sooner hears of it than he
speeds, as be never sped before, Lu the rescue.
The lightning could not outstrip him ; or, if
it disl, it was on,ly . to carry the message that
General McClellan was only a little behind,
and that he regards the election of Judge
Woodw i ard, its Governor of Pennsylvania, to
be called for by the interests of the nation."
The tidings reached PhiladOphia just as the

and, if we are to believe his friends, the falsest
statements concerning his military career,
without n o thing a sign; yet it is no sooner
given out that he is iu favor of there election
of a Governor who is a friend of the Adtninis
!ration, titan he is off like a shot to put down
the lie. It would seem Gnu the General can
stand anything but the suspicion that, he has
parted company with the Copperheads. It is
manifestly an object of prime concern with
him to keep himself identified, as completely
as possible, with the men who are not war
ring against the rebels, quarbing with the
constituted authorities of the Government. Of
all the score or two of Major Generals of the
United States, in service and out of service,
there probably is not another one, who, what
ever his former political associations, would
have treated as a slander to be publicly re
polled, a story that he was for sustaining the
Executive which gave him his commission.—
Mai Gen McClellan has the peculiar dis
tinction Whether it be owing to resentment
at his displacement from the command of the
Army of the Potonme, or to an ambition of
being made, as has been talked of, an Anti-
Administration elan Mate tor the Presidency,
we shall offer no conjecture ills motives are
known only to himself. But we do say that
it is not conduct which would become a true
soldier in his peculiar position.
Gen. McClellan, in his letter, represents
himself as bound to favor Judge Woodward by
" the principles of humanity and civilization,"
respect for "private rights and property,"
and fidelity to the great objects of the war,
which lie specifies to be "the restoration of
the unity of the nation, the preservation of
the Constitution, and the. tupreamoy of the
laws of the country." Now, if this means
anything, it means that the Administration of
President Lincoln is unfaithful to those prin •
ciples and olljeuts. If he thus believes, we
should like to know when the conviction first
dawned upon him? Was it before or was it
after Nov. 2, 1862, on which day ho received
an order from President Lincoln to turn over
his command to .Maj.-Gen. Burnside ? If it
was before, what words are strong enough
fitly to reprobate the man who would lend
himself to the official carrying out of a policy
which he saw was hostile to civilization, to
humanity, to private rights, to the laws, to
the Constitution, to the Union. if this en•
lightmerit did not come until after that date,
why was it so long delayed ? The prelimina
ry Emancipation Proclamation had been is
sued many weeks previous; •the Confiscation
bills, and the bills against the rendition of fu
gitive slaves, had been passed months pre•
vious ; .and summary arrests of disloyal per•
sons had been made from the beginning of
the war In respect to these arrests, Gen
NleClullan had himself, morethan a year pre
vious, not only cheerfully but zealously en
gaged in the,boblest and'-the most question
able act of the - kind that hus ever been per

fully carried out, it will go far toward break:

McClellan Was so long in attaining his pres
ent preCeptions of " private rights," and the
"rights of properly," and " the supremacy
of the lawe,"vand "the principles of humani•
ty," and all that, how are we to account for
WasiC•from pental dullness of appro.
Was it from .sluggishness of . the
-moral sense ? Was thorki anything is hie bO
ing unhorsed and.sent to Trenton that would
naturally sharpen his faculties ?
Really, we'think there is much here that
requires explanation__ No_faii,rninded man
can helo-.wondering that iluring the fifteen
months, Gen.•MoClellan was' in high command,.
he should, with Out one word' of 'protest or
complaint, have beertsi,o forward tfid serve the
Executive hilts complete development of a
policy ; and that yet, during the,eleven months
he has been out of command, ho should 'have'-
sought to make that policy a justification for
hi 4 tinning against the Executive and attach
ing hinsself_to its worst enemies. There is no
possible - escap'a.from the conclusion that there
is some strange defibiency here, either iu mind
or in heart; that there was not the under
standing reasonably to comprehend the poli
cy of the President when it was plain to
everybody, or not the moral resolution to sep
arate from that policy. This dilemma is com
plete in itself, even allowing the perfect. lion
esty of his pre-ent language, and that it was
not dictated either by overweening -ambition
or Tow•lived resnotiment.
The letter, as a political venture, has failed
wretchedly. With all its specious phrases,
and all the fancied prestige cf the name at
tached to it, it has not saved Judge Wood
ward from an inglorious defeat. General
McClellan has thus openly joined the side of
faction in the very hour when the people were
bracing thernselves`to overwhelm it with pa
trim ic indignation. Ho has gratuitously
linked himself to the fortunes of a party which
wlis just. about to be prostrated never to rise
again. lle seems to be persecuted by an
evil fate in politics as in war. There is no
help for hint. Ilis case is hopeless.

The Sentinel is , on Imppy concerning the

Davis, and in another article pours out its
grief over the "Suflerings of the people."—
The Dispatch mourns the ••Distress Irma high
prices" in one column, and renews the subject
in another, where it seeks to entpree the idea
that said high prices are " The greatest dan
ger It; iliii — CoaTederacy." The Whig - bewails
the sad condition of the ' Currency;" the Ex
tummy. enlarges on the -High prices," and
the &Wind, iu addition to what is above
stated, deals in 130111(3 very sharp remarks 'on
the new •• Conscription."
Referring t o the "croakers and grumblers."
the &lama. denounces thetn as the authors of
the depreciation of the currency, and as mis•
chief makers who ''have but one other work
to perform in order to effect our (Rebel)rum"
and "they seem to be labor lug diligently for
that." They have'but 'to intr,,lnce their

lers,- and it needs no pr,,pro fru - or - ea . ? Ira!

Sentinel, and the s tatement is remarkable as
being the confession of Davis' personal organ.
In the same lugubrious tone, the Sentinel

severity in 'Virginia than anywhere else."
"draining the State of its labor," which re

But its most melsocholy and truly distress-
ful strain is under the head of ...Sufferings of

of two ladies of Goochland county, widows of
soldiers, aho have been striving to live on the
mockery of an allowance made by the County
Court, but wby, being threatened with starva•

be upon, the land if these widows and their
children are allowed to cry for bread in vain "
This is, in truth, a sad story. let these
two aJies and their children are but units a•
mong the milliocs of like cases in the South,
all of whom have been reduced to the depths
of distress by the wanton and wicked proceed •
ings of just such tcoundrels as they who con
trol and give inspiration to the Sentinel. It
will be wonderful, indeed, if "the curse of
Heaven" does not fall upon. not the land or
the people, but the 'great-criminals who in
Booted the Rebellion, which is the cause of
all this woe. We hear a great deal about
this "wicke I war" from the spokesmen and
organs of the Northern malcontents, but they
fail to apply the -wicked" epithet where it
prof erly belongs, viz : To the unutterably
"wicked" Secessionists and conspirators who
brought the dire calamity upon the country.
Following all this, the Sentinel calls upon
Davis to "tax the people high," and to “sup•
press high prices by law." And it demands
of the people to pay their taxes cheerfully (its
if it were possible for people in such distress
to pay taxes at all, much less cheerfully), and
give all to the Government.
Thus far the Sentinel Let us next hear the
Dispatch on the subject of distress :
The rapid advance in all umessaries of
clothing and subsistence threatens us with
great distress. There is no disguising the fact.
We cannot see how unemployed persons,
and how those who live on inoomes and sala
ries, are to get along, especially at the iu
clement season of the year now rapid y op
preaching. How are they to buy,shoes and
clothing at the present rates ? Nay, how ong
are thee- rates to prevail? A great auotion
may in a day or two run them as up fifty per
cent ! An auction thus has become to be re
garded by the people with as much dread as
a battle_! A defeat on the battle-field 'l3iltild
hardly bring more suffering upou thetn.—
These questions are growing daily more and
more important. Something must be done--
Produce must be distributed, prices must be
reduced, 4twine "must be disgorged, or there
will be suffering intense, and intense suffer
ing will beget, what? Think of it.
And in num...ter article, the same journal
speaks of the distress resulting trout these
high prices as ' lhegreitest danger of the Con
federacy at the present moment " The Dis•
patch then goes en to deplore the inevitable
augmentation of these sufferings if more men
are drafted into the army. " Already," it
says, "we are beginning to feel the want of
labor in those employments that tire indis
pensible to existence. - What are the people to
do this winter for clothing, fuel and for other
prime necessities of life, if the few producers
who are left. are turned into the army. Our
•`most pressing danger is the immense priva•

Eventful_ History of a Soldier Wo-
man
The Grand Rapids (Michigan) Engle, tells
the following romantic story :
Mrs. Frances Louisa Clayton called at the
Provost Marshal's office, in this city, Thurs
day, with letters from officers, to procure a
pass to her home in Minnesota. Mrs. Clay
ton enlisted as a private, with her husband,
in a Minnesota reAtent, some two years
si.ice. She was in Rosecrans' army, and
did full duty us a soldier nearly, a year be
fore her see was discovered. While in the
army, the better to conceal her sex, she
learned to drink, smoke, chew and swear with
the best, or worst of the soldiers. She stood
guard, went on picket duty, in rain and storm,
and fought on the field with the rest, and was
considered a good fighting soon.
At the battle of Stone river, while making
a charge, her husband was intently killed by
a ball, just five paces in front of her, in the
front rank. She charged over his body with
the rear line, driving the rebels with the bay
onet ; but was soon struck with a ball in the
hip, and conveyed to the hospital, where her
sex was, of course, discovered. On recover
ing sufficiently to travel, she was' discharged
on the 3d of January last, and sent North.
On the way between Nashville and Louis
ville, a Ir/terrine party attacked the train,
and rubbed her of papers, money, .V.e. After
reaching home and recovering from her
wounds, Mrs. Clayton started for the army a
gain, to recover the papers belonging to her
husband ; but was turned back at Louisville,
and ordered home. By mistake her pass
carried her to Kalamazoo instead of Chicago,
and she was compelled to appJy to the Pro-
Yost Marshal there, who sent her through this
war.
She is a very tall, masculine looking wo
man, Inonzed by exposure to the weather,
and attracted universal attention by her mas
culine stride in walking, erect and soldierly
carriage, and generally mitre appearance.
Some soldiers following her rather too fami
liarly, Thursday evening, she drew a revol
ver and. promptly scattered the . crowd. She
was recognrAld as an old acquaintance by
the keeper of
-an eating house on Monroe
street, who knew her before her marriage,
and knew of her disappearance when her
husband enlistud, and who provided shelter
fur her Thursday night.
REBEL TERMS OF PEACE.
The Richmond Enquirer, of the 16th instant,
in an editorial upon "Peace," 8 ays:—
Sae on our own terms, we can accept no
peace whatever, and must fight till doomsday
rather than yield an iota of them ; and our
terms are 1—
Rvemznition by the enemy of the indepen
denee or the Con!ederate States.
Withdrawal of Yankee forces from every
foot of Confederate ground, including Ken
tucky and Missouri. •
W - ithdrawal of Yankee soldiers from Mary
land until that State ishall decide, by a free
vote, whether she shall remain in the old
or ask admission into the Cunteder-
Consent, on the part of the Federal Gov
ernment to give up to the Confederacy its
propor ion of the navy as it stood at the time
StICCSBIOII, or to pay for the same.
Yielding up all protensions on the part.of
the Feder. 1 Government to . that portion of
the old territories which !ies west of-the Con
federate States.
An equitable settlement, on the basis of
our absolu - y jn lepem!ence and equal rights,
Of all accounts of the public debt and public
lands, and of the advantages accruing from
ft.reign treaties.
'These provisions, we apprehend, comprise
the minimum of what we must require be
fore we lay down on our arias. That is--to
say, the Notth must yield al, ; we nothing.
The whole pretension of that country to pre
vent by force the separation of the States
must be abandoned, which will be equiva
lent to au avowal that our enemies w, re
wrong from the first ; and, of course, as they
waged a causeless and wicked war upon us,
they ought, in strict justice, to be required,
according to usage in such cases, to reitn
:but:se- to-usthe ,whole, of —our expenses -and
losses in the course of that war.
Whether this last proviso is to be insisted
upon or not, certain we are that we c ,un•it
have any peace at all until we shall be in a
position, not only to demand and exact, but
also to enforce and collect the treasure for
our own reimbursement out of the wealthy
cities in the anti Inv's cumin. ) . In other words,
unless we can destroy or scatter their armies
and break up their government, we ctin have
no peace, and it we can do that, then we can,
and ought not only to extort from them our
own full terms, and ample acknowledgment
of their wrong, kat also a handsome indem
nity of the trouble and expense caused to us
by their crime.
