Lincoln. Instructions to Fremont.
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago rribune.l

Especial Dispatch 10 the Chicago Tribune .
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA.
The following letter from the President to
Gen. Fremont was transmitted by mail on
Thursday: 5r..
MAJOR GENERAL JOHN c. Fremont
SIR:-YOurs of the Sth, in answer to mine
of the I'd inst, is just received. Assuming
that you, upon the ground, could better judge
of the necessity of your position than l could
at this distance, on seeing your proclamation OF
Aug Goth, perceived no general objection to
it. The particular clause, however, in relation
to the confiscation Of property and the liberia
ton of slaves, appeared to me to be objection.
able in its non-conformity to the act OF
Congress passed the 9Th of August upon the
same subject, and hence wrote you express
ing my wish that that clause should be modi-
fed accordingly. Your answer, just received,
expresses preference on your part that ]
should make an ord.r for the modification,
which cheerfully do. .s.... q
1t is therefore ordered that the said clause
of said proclamation be so modified, held and
construed, as to conform to and not transcend
the provisions on the same subject contained
in the act of Congress entitled IAN act to con-
fiscate property used for insurrectionary pur-
poses, approved August 9th, 1861" and that
said act be published at length with this order.
]Signed IDS. A. LINCOLN.
Mrs Fremont, when here, told the Presi-
dent that her husband would choose between
.obeying the proclamation and resigning. This
may help to explain the strange and unac-
countable paragraphs in New York dispatches

Scr0fula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ALL by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation )" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul COR
ruption, which genders III the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer fiom scIcfulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous i'll their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
cmates the human FAMILY has us origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alternative medicine, and in
vgorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,

indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA

in imp,oity file blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Notwithstanding the explanation made by
the Spanish Minister to Mr.. Seward, on Sat-
urday, the rtported Proclamation of the Cap

rying the rebel flag, occupies the attention of
the State Department.
The following official dispatch was received
at Gen. McClellan's headquarters to-day:
DEARNsTowN, Nd, Sept. Is.
This afternoon at half past three o'clock,
about $50 rebels attacked the extreme right of
my pickets, about three miles above this place,
opposite Pritchard's Mill. The affair was a
spirited one lasting about two hours.
The enemy were driven from every house
and breastwork they occupied. Eight or ten of
them are said to BE- killed and wounded. Our
loss was one killed.
Our victory was complete. The troops be-
have admirably. Our cannon were indispen-
sable and rendered good service in the action.

Blair and Qpartermaster General Meigs left
for Washington this morning. It is under
s God that the precise charge on which COL
Blair was arrested is INSTRUMENTATION, in COM

wards Gen. Fremont, with view of effecting
his removal 1t is stated that letters written
by COL Blair are now in possession of Gen.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-There are rumors
this morning that Gen. Fremont has resigned

FLAG PREsENTATIoN.-A splendid banner,
made by the fair ladies of the patriotic town
of Fairport, was presented to Capt. Grants
company Tuesday afternoon at the Eichel-
berger House. The presentation speech was
made by Henry O'Connor, Esq, who in a
brief but eloquent address urged them to stand
by their colors wherever they waved. Allu-
ding to the hardships of camp, he did not re-
gard them as being more than every man
should be willing to endure for the sake Of
his country. He was particularly severe upon
the blue-coat and brass-button- gentry who
louange about the Burtis and Barrett Houses
in Davenport and Burlington, when they
should be at work mastering in the six thou
sand men waiting in camp in this State. II
was one of the best of the many good speech
es we have heard Mr.. O'Connor deliver
He was followed in few impressive re-
marks by Bishop hardwood, lately from thu
hot-bed of secession in Virginia. He exhibit
ed to its fullest extent the wretchedness ane
rascality Of the foul treason which now Gov
ers one half our land. He said he had seel
the glorious banner of American liberty tori
from its place, insulted and trampled in tn
dust. and he breathed freer now that he ha
escaped and was once more where the broa

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept 1.-the Journal
CT this city makes the following important an
nouncement:
1--WE have just seen dispatch, dated Wash
ington, September II, and from the highest
authority, which states that the corrections
desired by the Union men of Kentucky in
Fremont's proclamation on the two points,
the turning loose Of con6scated negroes, and
the penalties attached to men who may have
taken up arms for day only, and afterwards
served the United States faithfully, will be
made Immediately. Under Fremonts proc
lamatiou, men in this condition were as much
subject to punishment as those who persisted
in the rebellion up to the date of the procla-
nation.
1--WE repeat, these two points will be cor
rected The confscated negroes will not be
set free, and encouragement will be held out
to men to lay down their arms and receive
pardon for the past. We publish this by au-
thority."
