Proclamation by the President. Whereas it has become necessary to call into service not only volunteers, but also portions of the militia of the States by draft," in order to suppress insurrec tion existing in the United States, and disloyal persons are not adequately_ re strained by the ordinary processes of law from hindering this measure and from giving aid and comfort in various ways to the insurrection, now, therefore, be it ordered : First, That during the existing insur rection, and as a necessary measure for suppressing the same, all rebels and in -surgents, their alders and abettors Within the United States, and all persons dis couraging volunteer enlistments, resisting militia• drafts, or guilty of any disloyal practice, offering aid and comfort to the rebels' against the United States, shall 'lts subject to martial law, and liable to trial and punishment by, court martial or sanitary commission. Seciend,' That the writ of Itab'eus °Or 'pus is suspended in respect to: all persona . *created, or who are now Y or hereafter during the rebellion; shall be imprisoned In .. any fort, camp, arsenal military prison, or other place of confinement by any mil itary authority, or by the sentence - a, any court martial or military commission: In witness whereof, I have hereunto net my band and caused the seal of the United Stites to be afliied.. Done at 'the city of We'shinfon, this 24th day of September, 1862, and of die Independence of the United States tie ' 87t1t. ABRAHAM. LINCOLN. DREADFUL DISASTER.—It seems al most incomprehensible that such a disas ter as the blowing up of the Allegheny Arsenal should occur. At noon on the .17th instant, nearly 100 boys and girls emplg a ved therein were in the twinkling of an eye either killed or so mangled as to make life a burden. No wonder it spread a deep gloom throughout the city of Pittsburg. A meeting of the citizens was subsequently called and all busineSs suspended to afford-relief to the sufferers. But alas ! what can bring relief to ao many households made desolate. There were 176 children employed in the Arsenal ; some 75 or 80 were killed immediately. One explosion followed another until the building was entirely destroyed. The cause of the explosion is nut known, at this writing, but it is admitted by all to have been accidental. The Governors of the loyal States have bad a meeting at Altoono, Pa., two thirds of the whole number present, while sev eral others, who could not be spared from .home, were represented by deputies of their choice. Their sittings ; were of course private, but their conclusions were not concealed, nor intended to be. They were but two days in session, but ,they united in a memorial earnestly approving the President's Emancipation Proclamit- Con, awl resolved to strengthen by every means the bands of the Government for the trecuq,ndous struggle forced upon it by the ilavabolders' Rebellion. Not j a purpose was evinced, not a sentiment expressed, which was not impelled by the most devoted loyalty, and a determinatiOn to . stistain the Union unshrinkingly to the FLOOD ;IN • FIIILADELPIIIA.-A de structive flood occurred in the suburbs of Philadelphia on the 12th inst. During the heavy rain the usual channels for con veying the water away in the 21st ward. were obstructed by large masses of timber and lumber and the rushing tide over-. came all barriers and swept through th.e byways and streets of the 16th and 17th wards, spending its force on Delaware front. In some places the water was nine feet deep and 'averaged five feet in dd. feront streets.. Of course the dwellings were flouded,the passenger cars obstructed and the wildest scene of confusion and 'distress followed. Several lives were lost and the damage to property is estimated iil ot. $1,000,000. NumronnsviLLE.—The surrender of 5,000 Union troops at Alumfordsville under Col. Wilder is reported. They were besieged by an overwhelming army and could not help it, perhaps, but why were they placed in such a position ?1 7 -- Why were they not Jelievcd by Gen. 13uell or allowed to ,e.vacuate the place. The point way not amount to' much, but 5,000 troops are just 1301i' of some account. Yet 11,000 are virtually lost at Harper's' Ferry,"nearly neutralizing all .our•victo ries there, and now 5,000 are thrown away in k.entucky. When will such blunders cease ? A Provost-Marshal-General is to be ap•• pointed in the War Department, with One or more Special Marshals in each State, whose business it will 'be to arrest de serters, and (upon the warrant of a Judge- Advocate) all disloyal persons, recover em bezzled property, and detect spies. This is we suppose tile' machinery for the en• forcement of the late proclamation about treasonable aid and conifort. A dispatch from San Francisco says that President Lincoln's Proclamation to emancipate the slaves is commended in favorable terms by the press generally— the leading journals heartily indorsing his policy. 4AVENWORTII, Sept. 24.— The Times of this•city has advices of a fight on .the 20th, at Shirley's Ford, ten. miles north west of Carthage, between the 3d .11)(ii aria regiment, Col. Ritchie, and a force of 6,000 Rebels, resulting in the rout - of the enemy, with a loss of 60 or 70 killed. THE JOURNAL. Coudersport. Pa. Wednesday, Oct: 1, 1862. Mo,BI.MEY;EDiTOR.

COOL, DECIDEDLY.—The Rebel Congress hos passed an act declaring tliat Kansas belonged to .the Southern Confederacy. Perhaps the young State may have something to say her self in regard to the matter. The Eteellom. The greatest fear loyal men have in reference to the coming election is that the people do not rightly appreciate its importance. Nothing is thought of but the war ; it furnishes the subject for con versation and dispute - go the. merchant, mechanic, and the home circle. Battles and Generals commend the time of the soldier upon the field and the civilian at home. Laws ;and law-makers are, at a discount. is a mistake. While none dispute the right and duty of giving much thought! to the war, still is it not evident that the successful prosecution of , the war does not depend entirely upon furnishing a sufficient supply of soldiers and *munitions? The Nation needs legislation. Just legislation is as neces sary• to its life as powder and ball, and that our legishition be just it is necessary that our legislators be honest and honor able. ! Parties may for the time bo kept inactive, th.eir ends are better attained in times•of peace; but that politics should be disregarded, is a palpable error. Pol itics is not 'partizanship. The people should more earnestly study the qualifi cations of the ditlerent candidates now than they did before yae war. Their de. cision,should be based upon what the man .II was. !No dishonorable peace-man will! make an honorable war-man. There is an effort being made in. this State to secure a majority of members to the Legislature from the party holding allegiance to Buchatian and Breckinridge so as to secure the election of that noted Doughface, Frank Hughes, to the Senate of the, United States. No greater wrong can be committed by the loyal people than failing to vote for men who, will defeat this demagogues plans. To secure the elec tion of this fellow the Doughface Judge's of the Supreme Court have disfranchised the soldier, declared him to be no citizen and his vote to be illegal. He can fight for hip country but cannot exercise one l of the dearest rights of an American!
