Bl the President of the United States of' A meriixi. A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, By a proclamation, which was issued on the loth clay of April, 18G1, the President of the United States announced and declared that the laws of the United States had been for some time past, and then were, opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed in certain States therein mentioned by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordi nary course of judicial proceedings, or by the power vested in the marshal law ; And ivhereas, Immediately after the issuing of the said proclamation the land ami naval forces of the United States were put into activity to suppress the said insurrection and rebellion. And whtreits, The Congress of the United States, by an act approved on the 3d day of March, 1803, did enact that during the said rebellion the President of the United Slates, whenever in his judg ment the public safety may require it, is authorized to supcnd the privilege of the writ of habeas eorjni.-t in any case through out the United States, or anv part there of; And wherea., the said insurrection and rebellion still continue, endangering the existence of the Constitution and the Go vernnient of the United States. And whereas, The military forces of the United States are now actually en gaged in suppressing the said insurrection and rebellion in various parts of the States where the said rebellion, has been success ful in obstructing the laws and public au thorities, especially in the States of Vir ginia and Georgia. And whereas, on the fifteenth day of September last, the President of the Liuited States duly issued his proclama tion, wherein he declared that the privi lege of the writ of habeas corpus should le suspended throughout the United States, iu eases whereby the authority of the President ot the United States, the military, naval and civil officers of the United States, or any of them hold per sons under their command, or in their custody, cither as prisoners of war, spies, or aiders or abettors of the enemy, or offi cers, soldiers or seamen, enrolled or draft ed or mustered or enlisted in, or leIonging to the land or naval forces of the United States, or as deserters therefrom or other wise amenable to military law or the rules and articles of war, or the rules and regu lations prescribed for the military or naval services b' authority of the President of the United States, or for resisting a draft, or for any other offence against the mili tary or naval service. And whereas, many citizens of the State of Kentucky have joined the forces of the insurgents have on several occa sions entered the said State of Kentucky in large force, and not without aid and comfort furnished by disaffected and dis loyal citizens of the United States resi ding therein, have not only greatly dis turbed the public peace, but liave over borne the civil authorities, and made fla grant civil war, destroying property and hie in various parts ot the State. And whereas it has been made known to the President of the United States, by the officers commanding the national ar mies, that combinations have been formed in the said State of Kentucky, with a purpose of inciting the rebel forces to re- n ... new me saiu operations oi civil war within the said State, and thereby to em barrass the United States armies now op erating in the said States of lrginia and Georgia, and even to endanger their safety. Now therefore I. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Consti tution and laws, do hereby declare that in my judgement the public safety especially requires that the susjonsion of the privi lege of the writ of habeas corjius, so pro claimed in the said proclamation of the 15th of September, 18G3, be made ef fectual, and be duly enforced in and throughout the said State of Kentucky, and that martial law be for the present declared therein. I do, therefore, hereby require of the military officers in the said State that tfie privileges of the writ of haljeas corpus be effectually Buspended within the said State, according to the aforesaid proclamation, and that martial law be established therein, to take effect from the date of this proclamation, the said suspension and establishment of mar tial law to continue until the proclamation shall be revoked or modified, but not be EBENSBURG, PA. WEDNESDAY, JULY yond the period when the said rebellion shall have been suppressed or come to an end. And I do hereby require and com mand, as well as military officers as all civil officers and authorities, existing or found within the said State of Kentucky to take notice of this proclamation, and to give full effect to the same. The mar tial law herein proclaimed, and the things iu that respect herein ordered, will not be deemed or taken to interfere with the holding of lawful elections, or with the proceedings of the constitutional Legisla ture of Kentucky, or with the administra tion of justice, and the courts of law ex isting therein, between citizens of the United States in suits or proceedings which do not affect the military opera tions or the constituted authorities of the government of the United States. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

A Mistake. Charles to the alter led the lovely Jane, and, to her father's house returned again, where, to convey them on their wedding tour, already stood a bril liant coach and four, when, lo ! the gath ering showers at once decended ; cloud rolls' on cloud, and warring winds conten ded ; this moves him not, but in he hands his bride, and seats himself, enraptured by her side ; when thus to cheer the fair one he begun : " I hope we soon shall have a little sun." Fut she, to whom the weather gave no pain, who heeded not the blast nor pattering rain, but most about her future state bethought her, said : " My dear, Pd rather have a datightei'." S3- Hallo, I say, Frank, Ifhoughtyou was dead ?" " Oh," said Frank, "they did get a story around that I was dead, but it was another man. I knew it wasn't me as soon as I heard of it J" 1.3, 1864.
