Important Proclamation.

The subjoined important proclamation, issued
by the President of the United States, will be
read with interest. It relates to a subject
which has attracted large share of public at
tentOn, and will be received with general ap-
probation 1t shows that the President is de-
termined to intcrpose to maintain the integrity
of the laws against violations; and to this end,
he calls upon all good citizens to discountenancc
the proceedings alluded to, requiring all public
officers to exert their authority to arrest and
bring to trial all offenders. This step was
called for by the intelligence received by the
President, and will be properly appreciated.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
a PROCLAMATION.
Whereas information has been received by me
that unlawful expedition has been fitted out
in the State of California with view to invade
Mcxco-a nation maintaining friendly relations
with the United States-and that other expcdi-
tions arc organizing within the United States for
the same unlawful purpose; and whereas certain
fnl of their obligations and duties, and Of the
rights of a friendly power, have participated,
and are about to participate, in these enter
priscs, derOgatOry to our national character,
and SO threatening to our tranquility, and
thereby incurring the severe penalties imposed
by law against such offenders
Now therefore, /, Franklin Pierce, President
of the United States, have issued this my pro-
clamation, warming all persons who shall con-
meet themselves WITH any Sucn enterprise or cX-
pedtion that the penalties of the law denounced
against such criminal conduct will be rigdly
enforced; and 1 exhort oil good citizens as they
regard our national character, they respect
our laws or the law of nations, they value
the blessings of peace and the welfare of their
country, to discountenancc, and by all lawful
means prevent, such criminal enterprises; and
call upon all officers of this government, civil
and military, to any efforts which may be
in their power to arrest for trial and punish
nent every such offender.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
United States, at Washington, this
eighteenth day of January, in the
T.. 81 year of our Lord thousand eight
hundred and ffty-four, and the seven
ty-cighth of the independence of the
United States.

THE CALoR1c SH1r-Capt. Ericsson, in
note to the editors of the New York Express,
says:
1.-THE new engines are completed, and have
been at work for several days, their operation
proving conclusively that the practical difficult
ties which attended the first arrangement have
all been overcome. The new engines much
reduced in size, whilst their principle Of action
is the same as before, with this exception only,
that condensed atmospheric air is employed in
place of the ordinary atmospheric, for producing
the motive power. This modification admits OF
an increase of power, limited only by the capa-
bty of retaining the rresssre in the machine.
Some difficulty has been experienced in this
respect, and it is this which has caused some
delay recently. The obstacle is, however, near
ly removed, and the public will shortly have an
opportunity ofjudgng by practical evidence OF
the merits of the caloric ship"

Her citizens are active and entcrprsing, and
what they lack in means, they make up in in

little in saying, that but for the arrogant

of the existence ofSmall Pox in Duplin county.
There arc many sports as to the extent of its
ravages, which a4 very probably exaggerated.
But that it prevails to alarming extent is
evident from the flct that the County Court
was not held the& last week. having adjourned
on Monday mor1ihg without doing any business.
We have heard of one case in this county,
about "a miles frpn town, at Burgaw.
The chief objecfof this article is to press most
earnestly on our Pillow citizens, the subject of
