TIE PROCLAMATION OF ACTING GOV. MEssRRvY
We call the attention of our readers, this week,
to the proclamation of the Hon. William s. Messer-
w acting Governor and Superintendent of Indian
Affairs in relation to the war existing between
the Jicalilla Apaches and the United States. We
consider the proclamation called for by the present
position of affairs; and since hostiites actually ex
ist it is right and proper the same should be de-
clared in an Official manner.
We hope that all third parties viii heed the warn
ing contained In the proclamation, because, If any
are found acting contrary thereto they will be dealt
with in the most summary and rigorous manner
All such will be considered enemies Of the United
States, and punished in the same manner the In
dams who are caught with arms in their hands
Ard at the time it is the duty of all good cti
to give notice to the Executive Of all persons
who hold communication with the enemy, in or
der that they may be brought to punishment
In the present emergency, the civil authorities
ar Gen. Garland, the military commander of this
department, are acting in perfect harmony and the
litter is giving the most efficient support to the act
ing Governor. We know the most vigorous mea-
q res are being taken to bring the war to close;
and the chastisement the Apaches will receive, will
e so severe that it will be warning for all Indians,
in the future to remain at peace It will be impos-
sible for the Jcarlas to escape the troops, and we
ment has taken place. and that the whole tribe has
been wiped out.

A Ecy Volume.

This issue commences the god volume of the
Stanton Spectator, and the seventh year OF our
connexion with the paper. In entering upon Inc
Iahnrs of another wear we do not design To make
pitul appeal to the public in behalf OF our jour
nal. We never have and never will beg people
I, ,ake II, nor implnre those who do take 1t 10
continue their subscription. for we consider that
every man to whom we send It is amply repaid
for the two dollars which he expends. lhls, we
think we NAV say without vanity. We may.
however, very modestly invite the attention OF
persons who intend to take some newspaper to.
the Spectator If they like it, it will give US
pleasure to furnish them with it regularly, during
this year. and for as many years thereafter as they
please. pr'rided they pay us the Subscription
price in money or something else that Will SUIT
us as well. Those who do not intend 10 pay will
obige us by disliking the paper We shall con-
tinue. as heretofore, to bestow all our energies TO
the task of rendering the Spectator useful and
entertaining newspaper.
For the information of these interested in the
prosperity ofthis papep l(and we are happy to
know that they are not few } We will state that
we have no reason to complain. Our subscription
list continues to grow, not by fits and starts. but
steadily. and by the addition of permanent and
responsible subscribers. Upon that list are many
who have been fast and true friends Of the Spec
ta.cr, not only under our management, but since
il commenced its career thnty-one years ago
men who have stood by it in six troubles, and who
we know will not lorsake it in the seventh. As
is the case with every newspaper, the Spectator
has had enemes-hGs enemies now. But II also
has host of tried and irusiy friends among that
gallant band of Old Augusta Wings, in whose
cause i. has been battling for more than quarter
of century We shlll cndeayur by our future
management Of the paper to merit the continued
support Of The party. We have latored honestly
and faithfully in behalf Of Wing principles and
Wing measures, and feel assured that our course
has been endorsed by the great mass of the party.
We enter upon the ab0rs of another year. then,
with light heart and bran new pen. relying
upon the Justice and good sense Of the public for
encouragement and support Whilst we may not
descend deep enough into the mire of party poll
Tics to suit the taste Of Young America. we do not
despair Of commanding the respect, il not the pat
ronage, OF RICH thinking men in all parties.

s1assac husetta and Delaware.

An election took place in Massachusetts, on the
18th for Governor and members of Congress and
the State Legislature. Henry }. Gardner the
Know Nothing candidate, was elected Governor
bv sweeping majority. The Know-No'hlngs
also elected all their nominees for Congress, prob
ably every member of the State Senate and 81
Of the S4S members of the House By compar-
ison OF tho vote cast this year with the vote OF
1852, it appears that the Kuow-No'hiogs derived
their largest support from the Democratic ranks
But however brought about, such political revo-
luton was never before known.

@3- The Pindicdtor replies 10 our remarks OF
last week in regard 10 the appointment of Flour
Inspector at Stanton with its usual courtesy. 1t
would perhaps be as well if the Editors Of that pa
per would smother their wrath and save their
manners. for all the rndencsS and bonbast. fuss
aud fury. Of all The admirers Of all the Johnsons
in the State If Virginia. will not deter us from
commenting on the public acts of public men. just
as we see fit Our neighbors should remember
that vituperation and empty verbosi'y are not ar
gumen,s, and can never be 50 regarded by son-
sible people.
In this connexion it may be well enough to
rem with due courtesy. and reasonably expect the
same treatment from them. In this expectation
we shall not be disappointed by those who desire
to maintain friendly relations
In regard to the appointment Of Flour Inspector
at this place. our opinion is the same that il was
before the Tindicator essayed its defence of the
act. We did not call Mr.. Filter "a real, rabid
Rockingham Democrat" On the contrary, we
distinctly stated that we knew nothing about his
political faith We laid wager. however, based
upon our opinion Of Gov. johnson, and the rcjec
liun Of Mr.. Butler, that Mr.. Filer was Demo
crat Of that stripe. And 50 we understand now,
he is Again. we did not say he was from Rock
ngham. We said that it was so stated in the
Richmond papers. Ii was 81 stated by the Rich
nond Enquirer, and we presume it will not be
denied that Rockingham was his homs. however
frequently he may have visited Augusta. We
repeat the expression ofour opinion then. that Gov.
Johnson might have found a good Inspector. with
out importing Rockingham Democrat 70 bore a
living out of Augusta farmers witha big auger.
The Vindicator is mistaken in surprising that
we are out of hunor with Gov. johnson. We
are in the best humor imaginable. His course is
operating finely for our cause in this county. as
will be seen hereafter In common with all Wings
and great many Democrats, however, we con-
slider His Excelency's political Dimensions en-
phaticaly small, and many Of his official acts dis
creditable to the State.

The Richmond Enquirer says, the Richmond

to render it, We not only 90 for Mr.. Wise as
the candidate for Governor, but we unite with the
Enquirer in advocating The majority rule. True
we cannot agree with the Enquirer in reference
u the Hunter Land Bill we think the Conven-
ton ought to speak out on that SUBJECT; but we
differ with it on this question not more than do
many Democratic papers, and agreeing on s"many
paints. We think the Enquirer might accept us as
an ally, instead of warning its party against US!

Not Posted.

Our friend, Mr.. Alexander, Of the Jefersonian
Republican, noticing the call Of meeting in
Staunton to make arrangements for the acconmo-
,lation of delegates To the Democratic Convention
expresses the opinion that the Hotels can accom-
muda;e all who will be here. Why neighbor
you are certainly not posted Do You know how
many delegates the single county Of Rockingham
appointed Only One Hundred and Ticeniy-
Fire-only. Now. as it is likely that large ma
iArity Of these delegates have never seen a city,
we may reasonably calculate on enough from that
quarter alone to fill up one Of the Hotels. Be-
sides it will never do to mia the delegates. as
will be the case if they are confined 10 the EEo-
tells. The Leake men could not safely be quar-
tered on the same square with the Wise men or
the Smith men the ''two thirds" men with the
'majnrity" men; the Hunter Land Bill men"
with those opposed to that scheme the "Resnu-
ton" men with the AMT Resolution" men. SC,
Sc. With due Difference. then, to our coniempo-
rary Of the JeGrsonian, we think the course pur-
sued by our worthy Mayor most prudent, to say
the least of it. aud nothing mare than his duty as
conservaior Of the peace and dignity Of the Com

Know MORNINGS IN New York CITY.-The
Know-Nuihings of New York city held meet
ing in the Park, on Monday evening. the 18th.
TO consider the subject of the late election for
Mayor. AT least 10000 persons were present
A series Of resolutions were unanimously adopted,
declaring that the election of Wood. the Demo.
cratic candidate, was carried by vile and Iraudu-
lent MEANS" and that they would not permit him
to be sworn as Mayor until he had legally proved
his right 10 the office. The next day commit
tee appointed by the meeting appeared before The
City Board of Canvassers. and presented pro-
test against the qualificali N of Wood. which was
referred TO committee of the Board for nvesll-
gaiion. The general impression among The
Know Nolhings that they were defeated by fraud.
has rather increased their resentment against for-
eirn influence The Committee OF the Board sub.
sequenily reported that they could not 90 behind

The Norfolk Convention.

The recent Internal Improvement Convention
at Norfolk. as generally anticipated. turned oui
mere sectional affair The first six resolutions
adopted by the Convention are liberal enough,
but the cloven foot sticks out in the 7th That
resolution is as follows:
eth. Resolved. That in order TO harmonic
and mite coniiicling interests which defeated and
sl jeopardize further appropriations tor The pros
ecutun Of these great State lines, this convention
recommend that the gauge of tho Covnglon and
Ohio railroad. shall he fixed BY law at live eet
and that if the Central railroad company shall
deem it expedienl IN change the gauge OF their
Eoad 10 a corresponding width. that the LegS!a-
,ure ought TO provide tor direct subscription TO
the stock of that company. to an amount necessa.
ry to pay them the cost OF such change OF gauge"
Even this resolution appears at first view to
make generous offer 10 the Central Railroad.-
The State shall subscribe 10 the stock of the
Company to an amount necessary to pay the cost
Of the change Of gauge! What more could be
asked? The State, however, is only to take
stock, leaving the Company after all 10 pay the
piper. The Richmond Penny Post shows that
the cost would be at least $3.50 ,0O0, and that the
change itself would be very injurious, If not ruin
Gus, to the Central road 1t could not be effected
without an entire suspension of business on the
road. The luss to the Company, moreover, In
locomotives and cars thrown out of use. because
nat adapted to the new gauge. would be immense.
We presume the Company will not entertain the
proposition for moment. Better far suffer the
Inconvenience of break of gauge at Cuyington
than undergo all the Inconvenience and expense
Of such change.
This whole controversy abAut gauge originates
in an ilberal spirit on the part Of The South Side.
The gauge of the Central Railroad is feet 81
inches. and il is proposed 10 lay the track of the
Covington and Ohio Road with gauge of feet.
II has not been shown that the wide gauge is SUI
perior to the other, and the only object seems to
be to divert trade and travel from the Central lire
and compel it to take to the South Side Railroads.
The Covingtun and Ohio Railroad was projected
in conaexvn with the Central, to form contnu-
Gus fine 10 the Ohio River; cOnneXi0n with the
South Side was an after thought, and may never
be formed. yet syery ether interest must be sac
rfced 10 this scheme. II the South Side coHsd-
ors uniformity of gauge 80 essential it is al lbcr
