THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.— Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of 'the Roman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded resistance ; and this effeminacy they trace chiefly to vicio us habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey. The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo sophers and philanthropists, It besets inexperienced youth, laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life, and making it, during its brief career, a scene of anguish, from the consciousness of humiliating infirmity. The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths, the hereditary and perpetuated ailments, and the matri monial discords and scandals, described, in convential par lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious." In cases of threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound ness and vigour form su .h a prominent constituent in human happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their warmest hopes of restoration to life's prerogatives fully realised. engaged treatise for 0 20 n years sel f i p t r h e the treatment T es ' ed f i rl so . ; disorders, been s,and his lost sery a o t r i°n c suspended,describes d how o w all t they y e can attributesbe restored of Manhood a a n n h d o od r main tained in health and vigour to an advanced period of life. t b consulted Mann, 29, Cornhill ; or from the Author, who may am P b e s Price ls., post free in a seated envelope 20 s daily, from 11 till 2 and 6 till 8, at his residence, 37, BEDFORD-SQURE, London.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1862 THE WAR IN AMERICA. for allowing the British steamer Ovieto to escape the blockade at Mobile. His friends deny the right of the Secretary of the Navy to cashier an officer without a trial, and demand a court-martial. The public sentiment and naval and military men sup port the demand. chants make their profits on, and what supports vast masses of manufacturing labour in the North. The President's proclamation is twofold —l. The destruction of all the slave system of labour, South. 2. The deportation of that labour to some foreign country. Commercial men, naturally enough, see in these propositions destruction to ships and shipping—Northern cotton and tobacco manufactories, the profits of the interchange of Northern manufactures for Southern negro labour —commissions, freights, labour, foreign exchange, &c. Hence there is great inquiry among commer cial men-Ist, What interest has commerce in pro• secuting a war upon such destructive and revolu tionary principles , and 2d, if the Southern States are to be black, negro States, is a " Union" with such States worth fighting for on commercial prin ciples ? What is most profitable to us, a Hayti or a Louisiana ? Besides, business men, banking men, commercial men, now see that the war, prosecuted upon such principles, must be prolonged indefini tively, and at greater expense. A war, to subjugate 8,000,000 of white people to an equality with 4,000,000 of negroes, it is reasoned, involves so much passion, energy, and furor, that it must last for years and years. Hence real estate owners and holders of bonds and mortgages, who are with diffi culty realising the interest upon mortgages, bankers, &0., begin to ask-Ist, 'What is to be the value of real estate, especially in New York, if a war is to be conducted on such revolutionary principles ? 2d, What rents are to be realised from stores, &c., it about one-half of the productive property of the country is to be destroyed—of which New York city is the representative centre ? 3d, What is the currency to be during this indefinite war ? what but paper, paper such as we now see in Rebeldom, with' their " Confederate Treasury notes," expanding the prices of everything, 'but in reality worth little or nothing ? The paper money system of Mr. Chase, founded upon little or nothing, was working well, upon the presump tion that, under a Constitutional anti-Radical policy, not only the Union was to be re stored, but the commerce and free trade of the whole Union ; while here is presented to us war, for the destruction of the labour system South, and a trade, if trade is restored, only with negroes, such as are in a Hayti—not such as we have in Cuba, or had with the old slave labour systems of the South. Hence, as the war is now to be prolonged indefinitely—and for purposes very revolutionary and very destructive to all trade and commerce— what is to be our currency, founded upon such bases and for such purposes ? What but inflation, years after years, endless inflation—with aggravated prices to all consumers ? We are enabled to lay before our readers the fol lowing very interesting intelligence from 'America, in anticipation of the mail from Queenstown. The most important document brought by this arrival is the text of President Lincoln's proclamation in reference to slavery : "BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. " PROCLAMATION. " General Braxton Bragg, in command of a Con federate army of 30,000 men in Kentucky, has avoided a battle with General Buell, and marched upon Louisville. He has demanded the surrender of that city. Gen. Nelson, the Federal commander, has refused, and notified all the women, children, and non-combatants, to depart, as he intends to defend his post to the last extremity. It is not believed he can offer effectual resistance. " WASHINGTON, SEPT. 22. "I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relations between the United States and the people thereof, in which States that relation is or may be suspended or disturbed, that it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free accept ance or rejection of all the Slave States, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States, and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may volun tarily adopt, the immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the efforts to colonise persons of African descent, with their consent, upon the continent or elsewhere, with the previously obtained consent of the Governments existing there will be continued; that on the Ist day of January, in the year of our Lord 18.63, all persons held as slaves within any State, or any designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then thenceforward and for ever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognise and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or make any of them in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom ; that the Executive will, on the Ist day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people thereof respectively shall then be in rebellion against the United States ; and that the fact that any State, or the people thereof, shall on that day be in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States by members chosen thereto at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such States shall have participated shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed con clusive evidence that such State and the people thereof have not been in rebellion against the United States. " General Buell is reported to be in pursuit of General Bragg, while General Kirby Smith is marching after Buell, who may thus be placed be tween two fires and forced to capitulate. " Mr. Morgan, Governor of the State of New York, has ordered the draught to commence on the 15th of October, 40,000 men, the quotas due under the two calls of the President. " Notwithstanding the enormous heavy bounty, £9O money, and the vigorous efforts made to fill up the numbers, the city of New York is 8,000 men in arrear on the second call, and the State of New York, 32,000." " QUEENSTOWN, OCT. 4. " The Royal mail steamship Australasian, from New York on the 24th ult., arrived here at 12.30 p.m. She brings 47 passengers and 808,739 dols. She landed 82 sacks of mails and six passengers, and proceeded immediately. All well. She expe rienced very foggy weather. "NEW YORK, SEPT. 23, MORNING. (Per Australasian via Cape Race and Roche's "That attention is hereby called to an Act of Congress, entitled An Act to make an additional Article of War,' approved March 13, 1862, and which Act is in the word and figure following Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, and hereafter the following shall be promulgated as an additional article of war for the government of the United States, and shall be obeyed and observed as such:— ‘" Article.—All officers or persons in the military or naval service of the United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their re spective commands for the purpose of returning fugitives from service or labour who may 'have escaped from any persons to whom such service or labour is claimed to be due, and any officer who shall be found guilty by a court-martial of vio lating this article shall be dismissed from the service. (From the Journal:of Commerce.) The long agony of the Radicals is over. They have pressed for a proclamation, and the proclama tion they have to the full extent of their wishes. Their curses on the President are changed to invo cations of blessing, and they are, or ought to be, satisfied. We have expressed our opinion of the document, and it is useless to discuss it. It is pro claimed, and cannot be recalled. It is published-- and there is the end of it. It is, of course, not law, for we have not arrived at that point at which the President makes laws by proclamation. It is a voice that has gone out, never to be hushed into silence, and its effect for good or evil is irrevocable. What are we to expect from it ? The Radical news papers have assured us that it would bring the re bellion to a sudden close. We have been over and over again told in flaming sentences that it would be the sovereign remedy for all our sorrows ; the restorer of peace, the tranquilliser of the country, the forerunner of the millenial day in America. We have been assured that it would win for us the sym pathy of Europe and the world at large, would es tablish our national character, and, above all, would secure the favour of the God of battles. Let us wait patiently for the accomplishment of these glorious results. But while we wait may we not perish ? Will it do to wait ? We respectfully ask the radical leaders and newspapers for information on this sub ject. Is the proclamation to do all the work and is there no need of fighting any more ? Shall we go up on the housetops and look southward for the effect of the Presidential voice, like thunder shaking the land, and terrifying the rebellion into silence and nothing ness ? Perhaps no radical man can be found who is so great an enthusiast, so foolish in his faith in proclamations, as to say anything of this kind, although thousands of them said it when their faith was only hope for such a proclamation. But now the responsibility of a new duty falls upon these men, and they must assume it at once. They must enlist in the army, and fly to the support of their principles. They can no longer hesitate or excuse themselves. The President pledges the Executive, naval and military powers of the coun try, to maintain the principles of the proclamation, and every man of them should be in the field to day. All the conditions on which they based their patriotism are answered; all the provisoes of their devotion to the Government are fulfilled. They expect to have some fighting to do, and that fight ing they ought to do. " Section 2.—And be it further enacted that this Act shall take effect from and after its passage.' " Also to the ninth and tenth sections of an Act entitled An Act to suppress insurrection, to punish treason and rebellion, to seize and confiscate pro perty of rebels, and for other purposes,' approved July 17, 1862, and which sections are in the words and figures following : " Section 9.—And be it further enacted that all slaves of persons who shall hereafter be engaged in rebellion against the Government of the United States, or who shall in any way give aid or comfort thereto, escaping from such persons and taking refuge within the lines of the army, and all slaves captured from such persons, or deserted by them, and coming under the control of the Government of the United States, and all slaves of such persons found on (or being within) any place occupied by rebel forces, and afterwards occupied by the forces of the United States, shall be deemed captures of war, and shall be for ever free of their servitude, and not again held as slaves. " Section 10.—And be it further enacted that no slave escaping into any State, territory, or the district of Columbia, from any of the States, shall be delivered up, or in any way impeded or hindered of his liberty, except for crime or some offence against the laws, unless the person claiming said fugitive shall first make oath that the person to whom the labour or service of such fugitive is alleged to be due is his lawful owner, and has not been in arms against the United States in the present rebel tion, nor in any way given aid and comfort thereto ; and no person engaged in the military or naval service of the United States shall, under any pre tence whatever, assume to decide on the validity of the claim of any person to the service or labour of any other person, or surrender up any person to the claimant, on pain of being dismissed from _the service.' (From the World.) President Lincoln, in his address to the Border States Congressmen, warned them that the pressure upon him to issue an emancipation proclamation was so great that he feared he might yet be compelled to yield. His distrust of his own resisting power has since been fully justified. Indeed, this yielding to pressure is Mr. Lincoln's fatal weakness. He yielded to pressure in urging General Scott to fight the first battle of Bull Run ; he yielded to pressure in giving Colonel Miles another command, when he should have been shot ; he yielded to pressure in disconcerting General M'Clellan's plans last spring, by ordering a premature advance at the West; he yielded to pressure in so meddling with the peninsula campaign as to cause it to miscarry. No man ever yet administered successfully the affairs of a great nation without a backbone in capable of " yielding to pressure." This extraordi nary proclamation will bring no advantages to the negro race at all proportionate to the obstructions it throws in the way of reunion. It is certain that the Union will never be restored till this ill-advised action of the Government is re versed. It converts every inhabitant of the South into a zealot whose all is embarked in the success of the rebellion. The idea that they will succumb to threats, that they will vote on compul sion, that they will feel terror or misgivings, or anything but increased indignation, at such a pro clamation, shows small knowledge either of human nature or of the temper of the Southern mind. Such a proclamation cannot possibly be enforced, and its only effect will be to strengthen the determination of the rebels to fight to the very last. They are shut up in a lane which has no turning. When the military power of the rebels is broken we have laid before ourselves a still harder task to perform.

The following comments have appeared on the President's proclamation in the New York papers:— (From the Exp re ss .) The President's unconst itutional emancipation proclamation provokes the question among business men, when this war is to end and how it is to end _if that end is to be in the destruction of the labour system of the South, eotton,rice, tobacco, sugar,ke. ; what our ships freight, what our commission mer - (7 - ‘ 1. //, j /e < t ARV._ PRICE ........4d. ... STAMPED ...sd. of the rebellion, or perhaps to be sold into slavery. We have no doubt they will be subjected to the most atrocious treatment by their Southern captors. Many of them were undoubtedly freemen by birth ; many had earned their freedom by services to our cause I and our army, and all of them were under the guardianship and protection of the Government. Most of them were employed in various army work at Harper's Ferry, under the Act of last session of Congress, authorising the employment of negroes as military labourers. We suppose that Govern ment will do nothing about these unfortunate per sons who had placed themselves under its care, though by all the laws of war, of national honour, and of humanity, it is as much bound to see to their just treatment as to that of any other of its agents. Three or four times of late the rebels have taken numbers of the black military labourers with our army. They took a considerable number on the Peninsula; they took a large body who were sent out grave-digging near Bull Run, after Pope's re cent engagements ; and now, at Harper's Ferry, they made the best haul of all. The rebels, of course, could not be induced to treat negroes as pri soners of war; but our Government, having become responsible for their freedom and safety, should either put them where they will •be safe from the rebel grasp and the horrors of slavery, or should try by negotiation to save them from the latter doom awl mitigate their misfortunes. It would be better, of course, if it would make haste to put down the rebellion, by which these and all questions would be solved. With regard to the war, the Evening Express says : " There would seem to be reliable information that the rebel army has not entirely left Maryland. On the contrary, they are reported to be in consider able numbers in the neighbourhood of Williams port. Heavy skirmishing was going on at that point and on both sides of the river on Monday. Everything remains quiet at the ford near Shep herdstown. The forces on either side of the river are cautiously watching each other. The rebels keep their men out of sight, but occasionally a solitary horseman makes his appearance on the op posite bluff, and after a brief observation disap pears." The Sharpsburg correspondent of the Baltimore American writes on the 22d : " There has come a lull, in which the contending armies are lying quietly, with the Potomac be tween them, awaiting developments which will at no distant day probably bring them again in collision. Neither will rush unadvisedly to a new contest, without exhausting all pre caution that generalship and military skill can suggest. Since the reconnoisance across the Poto mac at Clarksburg on Saturday last, perfect quiet has reigned along the lines, scarcely disturbed even by skirmishing of pickets. We hold the river at Sharpsburg in strong force, while the rebels occupy the opposite bank, but not, it is thought, in force. We also occupy Williamsport. General M'Clellan's head-quarters are in the vicinity, and he can be seen several times a day, moving about, overlooking and directing movements in pro gress. The battle-field of Wednesday is daily trampled by a small army of curiosity-seekers, from the west, north, and east. The field is pretty well cleared of all material evidence of the struggle. The dead have all been buried, except the black and putrid bodies of some poor fellows who had crept into secluded corners and thus escaped the search of the burying parties. The wounded have been all removed ; those who could be were trans ported to Hagerstown, Chambersburg, Harrisburg, and other places. A number of the more dangerously wounded, whom it would have been death to have removed any distance, still remain in houses and barns in the vicinity of the field which have been fitted up as temporary hospitals." The Express of the 22d contains also the follow ing letter from the Potomac : " Contrary to general impression, it turns out now that Sigel and Heintzelman have not been sent up the north bank of the Potomac. They had such an order given them, it seems, but it was countermanded—undoubtedly for good reason. This will explain to the public, who have been anxiously looking for Sigel and Heintzelman in force before the retreating rebels, why their ap pearance has not been made. Despatches from Fre derick as late as 10 o'clock on Sunday night report thatduring the night previous there was considerable firing between our pickets and those of the enemy on the opposite side of the river. At 6 o'clock on Sunday morning, quite a number of the enemy, sup posed to be a brigade, showed themselves on the op posite bluff and fired a volley of musketry into our artillery camp. Our batteries, Captain Waterman's, Martin's, and Ilazlitt's soon opened a concen trated fire on the rebels, causing them to disappear. The enemy have no artillery on the bluff. The 4th Michigan, with a few men from Syke's brigade, crossed the river at Shepherdstown Ford late on Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of making a re connoissance. They met with a stout resistance from the enemy, but succeeded in reaching this side of the river with but slight loss, bringing with them four pieces of artillery which they took from the rebels. The occupation of the Viriginian shore was attempted again next morning, with less suc cess. Acting Brigadier-General Barnes, with his own and a portion of Syke's brigade, some cavalry, and two batteries, crossed the river and took a posi tion on the Virginian shore. Shortly after the troops had been placed in position, the enemy emerged from under the cover of woods, with a line of infantry nearly a mile long. Both troops soon became engaged, when the order was given to re tire, which was done in good order, the enemy fol lowing r artil lery, lowing close behind.

She always alludes to the judge as " the gen tleman," and says that she did not understand what ho said. She is evidently a woman of a most determined spirit, and she does not seem at all alarmed at the prospect of death ; but it is probable that she may be buoyed up to some extent by the idea that the capital punishment will not be carried out in her case, although of course every effort is made to disabuse her mind of such a feeling, and to induce her to prepare for the fearful and inevitable result of a conviction for such a crime. It is said that Mr. Neale, the solicitor who defended her upon her trial, has sent in a memorial on her behalf to the Home Secretary, but beyond this it does not seem that any section of the public has made a movement by petition or otherwise to obtain a commutation of the capital sentence. ~!~.~- t < THE MANNER IN TVHICH INDIA IS GOVERNED. (From the 'limey Market Review.) A few more words may be said usefully with re gard to Mr. Laing's speech at Manchester on the 18th of September, in reply to the address from the Chamber of Commerce of that city on the occasion of his return from India, Mr. Laing's speech was a most effective and testing one, and was listened to with deep interest by a large and influential meeting assembled by permission of the Mayor in the Town-hall. Mr. Laing said, in the first instance, that he would not on that occasion refer to the differences between himself and Sir Charles Wood, which had led to his resignation of the office of Financial Mem ber of the Council of the Government of India, be yond stating that the last mail had brought infor mation that the cash balances in the Indian Trea suries, at the end of the first quarter of the current official year, amounted to nineteen millions six hun dred thousand pounds sterling—a larger amount than he had anticipated at such an early date, and, by the way, much beyond the accumulation in the Treasuries, on the strength of which, some ten years ago, this same Sir Charles Wood boasted, in his place in Parliament, that he had ordered the conversion of the Five per Cent. Government Secu rities into Four per Cents. Sir Charles Wood, in that measure, struck the first blow at the credit and good faith of the Govern ment of India; for when the Government was obliged, a few months afterwards, without any war or fresh cause of expense, to open a new loan at 5 per cent., it was felt that all those who had been forced to exchange into the Four per Cents. had been unfairly deprived of at least 20 per cent. of their capital. No doubt a large balance at the bankers does not of itself prove that a concern is flourishing, as that balance may consist of money borrowed; but when, as Mr. Laing broadly asserts, all current liabilities have been cleared off, and no new ones incurred, the balance does then prove that there is a surplus ; and the steady increase of it shows that, notwithstanding the remission of taxes, the income continues to be greater than the expen diture. The opinion expressed by Mr. Laing, that we are not likely soon to receive a larger quantity of cotton from India than in the current year, occasioned some surprise, and we cannot help thinking that he has understated the quantity at a million and a quarter of bales. If the war in America continue up to Christmas, we have little doubt that we shall have a million and a half of bales next year, for shipments from India to China w ill almost altogether cease ; and if there were a reasonable contract law in India, and the waste lands wore in the posses sion of Europeans in fee-simple, the supply would be enormously increased year by year, notwith standing the difficulties which would be encountered before the immense extent of land necessary to pro dace an extra million of bales could be appropriated to cotton cultivation. Mr. Laing's anticipations of the glorious future offering for India, if well governed, appear to us I not too sanguine. Of the enormous sums which are now being realised by shipments of cotton to Europe, a considerable proportion will remain in India, where it will not be left idle. The produc tion of tea, of qualities superior to China tea, will soon be reckoned by millions of lbs., and the Neilgherry and Mysore coffees fetch the very highest prices in this market ; whilst the first fruits of this influx of money, and of the high price of the raw material, will be an increasing demand for cotton goods, salt, iron, B,:c. Nothing can mar this brilliant prospect except misgovernment and interference from home, such as nearly ruined Canada, Australia, and other depen dencies of the British Crown. Sir Charles Wood seems determined to follow the footsteps of the old Colonial-office, but we trust that the spirited de nunciation of the system by Mr. Laing and others will rouse public attention to the subject. Let us hope, too, that the men of Manchester will take kindly Mr. Laing's reproof of their apathy in re. gard to Indian matters, and that early in next ses sion of Parliament they will act in such a way as to show that Lord Palmerston's position will be ren dered uncomfortable and insecure by the wrong headedness and incapacity of his Secretary of State for India. Should the capitalists of Lancashire not take the question up, we believe that the working I classes will do so, for they will certainly not sub mit without a murmer to see their bread in the shape of cotton from India, when almost within their reach, pass away from them through misgo vernment. Already we see working men's cotton supply associations being established, and it will be a sad day for all if their natural leaders, the capi talists and millowners, do not take charge of the movement, but leave it to the less proved intelli gence of men whose feelings are sharpened and em bittered by the distress of their families and of themselves, and who may be misled into antagonism to the wealth and property of the country. TILE MURDER AT ICIRKIIII.2II. Since the coroner's inquest on Monday, in refer ence to the murder of Mr. Henry ltawcliffe, the landlord of the Swan Inn, Kirkham, near Preston, who was killed on Sunday night by a poker having been thrown at him, entering his right eye, and penetrating the brain, the police have succeeded in apprehending a man named Michael Kilbarn as an accessory to the murder. Yesterday he w as brought before the Kirkham magistrates, with the other prisoners already in custody. The charges were—Against James Cain and Margaret Cain, attempts to rescue Martin Garatty from custody, and assaulting the police whilst in the execution of their duty ; against Patrick Cain, for the wilful murder of Henry Raweliffe ; and against Michael Kilbarn, as an accessory to the murder. The court was densely crowded during the inquiry. Patrick Cain was first placed in the dock. Mr. Leary, superintendent of police, after re minding the Bench that the prisoner had been re manded from Monday on a charge of murder, said that since then he had been making inquiries into the case. He had some evidence to place before the Bench; but at the same time he must tell the magistrates that the case against the prisoner Patrick Cain was not quite complete, and some other evidence might be obtained. He therefore asked for a remand. _ _ _ Evidence corroborative of the facts already pub lished, as to the prisoners taking part in the assault on the police, and also as to Rawcliffe having been struck by the poker, having been adduced, Two or three persons, who witnessed the affray between the prisoners and the police, deposed that, after the crowd had left the front of Rawcliffe's house to follow Garratty, the man whom the police officers w ere conveying o the polic e-station, they saw three men come down the street. Two of the men turned off into a street a short distance from Rawcliffe's house. Before doing so, however, the third man, who was in his shirt sleeves, and who had a poker in his hand, struck a lamp-post with the poker, and swore he would " put the contents of the poker" through Sergeant Lofthouse. When he had said that he left the other man, went past Rawcliff's house, and was then seen to turn back, peep round the corder of Rawcliffe's house, and then hurl the poker through the club-room window. He then ran rapidly away, and the neighbour s, alarmed by the screams of itawcliffe's daughter, went into the house, and found Raweliffe in the state already described, namely, with a poker pro jecting from his light eye. The man who threw the poker was positively sworn to as the prisoner Patrick Cain. The prisoner was remanded until Monday. Jas. Cain was committed to the sessions for trial for the assault on the police. His wife was discharged with a caution.—Blanchester Examiner.
