JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, June 25.

Several persons arrived to-day from South.
-oat M;saour;. ..f ~. "a, b'ings procla-
nation, issued by John Ross, of the Cherokee
Nation. Rev. I. Rauney, missionary, left
Falllah, c. N, on the fifth day of June. and
reports that Ben. Mccullough and Albert
Pike, of Arkansas, had been there urging the
Chief to reconsider the position taken in his
proclamation, but they failed in their object,
and had left for the Creek Nation, hoping to
get aid from them. Capt. Pike had an es.
cort of seventy five men.
Mr. Price, Payma,ter Of the Iowa regiment
at Boouvllle. is here.
The following is tue proclamation referred
to above: "Owiug TO the momentous state
of Affairs pending auone the people of the
several States, |, John Ross, Principal Chief,
hereby issue this, my PROCLAMATION, to the
people OF the Cherokee Nation, reminding
them Of the Obligations arising under their
treaties with the United States, and urge
them to the faithful observance Of said trea-
ties by the maintenance Of peace and friend
ship towards the people OF all the States
Tho better to obtain this important end,
earnestly impress upon all my feIlow-citizens
tho propriety Of attending to their ordinary
ayocations, and abstalung from Improbable
discussion of events trausPIrng in the States ,
and from parlzan demonstrations in regard to
the same. They should not be alarmed with
false reports, thrown iuto circulation by de-
signing men, but cultivate harmony among
themselves, and observe good faith and strict
neutrality between the States threatening civ
il war With these means alone can the
Cherokee people hope TO maintain their own
rights unimpajlcl, and to have their own soil
and ircsdes spared from the hateful effects
Of devastating war. There has been 10 dec
larllon of wal between the opposing parties,
aad the conflict may yet be aycriel with COM
promise or peaceabc separation. The pecu
liar circumstances Of their condition almonish
the Cherokecs to the exercise of prudence in
regard to a state o. affairs TO the existence Of
which they have in no way contributed, and
they should avoid the performance Of any act
or the adoption Of any policy calculated 10 de-
strov or cnGanger their territorial and civil
rights. With honest adherence to this course
thev can give no just cause for aggression or
invasion, nor prctcUse for making their
county the scene Of military oppression, and
will be in q situation to claim and retain all
their rights in the final adjustment that will
take place between the several States. For
these reasons earnestly impress upon the
Cherokee people the Importance Of non,iR.er-
ference in the affairs Of the people Of the
States, and the Observance Of uuwaverug neu
tralitv between them, trusting that God will
not only keep from our own borders the desc.
lation of war, but that He will, in infinite
mercy and love, stay its rayagcs among the
brotherhood of the States.

AUNIOE MOVEMENT MORT: CARO-

Col. o. II. Foster II rnnourood an un-
conditional Union candidate fo. Congress in
the First Congressional District Of North Car
olina. Having made his appointu ents, he
will soon take the stump and prosecute Wig
orous canvass. He has recently arrived here
from North Carolina, where he boldly ap-
pcared and defended the course Of tho FEEDER
al Administration in strong Union speeches
made at largo public meetings which were
got up BY disunionists, for the express pur
pose Of denouncing Mr.. Foster, and, if posi-
be, driving him out Of the State. At all Of
these meetings Mr.. Foster appeared in person
and met the traitors face to face, and told
them to tihir teeth what they might expect
if they continued in this unholy rebellion
against the Union. Mr.. Foster is a man of
iron will and undauntcd courage, Of brilliant
talent, with very effective and finished style
Of oratory. lie was among the ablest sup
porters of Breckinridee in the last campaign,
and was also the first to take the stump for
the Union at the opening Of this great rebel
lion. He says that if few Federal regiments
were stationed in North Carolina, one in each
Congressional district, to protect tho Union
men, there would be full delegation Of un-
conditional Union members elected TO Con-
gress from that State on tho first Thursday of
August next. He says that brigade OF 10y
al North Carolinians might be easily raised TO
co operate with the Federal forces in putting
down tho reasonable usurpation Of Gov. Ell
lis and Others 10 his State.

To tie Soldiers ctMe Army ofAe West:
You are here to support the Government o.
your country and to protect the lives and lib
critics of your brethren, threatened by rebel
lious and traitorous foe. No higher or no
bier duty could dovolve upon, and | expect
you to bring to its performance the highest
and noblest qualities Of soIdiers-disciplne
courage and mercy. | call upon the officers
Of every grade to enforce the strictest disci.

cool, heroic courage, and will know how to
show mercy to dsarmod enemy. Bear in
mind that YOU are in the country Of friends

not to destroy. Tako nothing, destroy moth.

general officers. Remember that | pledge
my word to the people Of Western Virginia

against mild and paterral government; they
have seized upon public und private property
they have outraged the persons OF Northerr
men, merely because they came from the
North, and of Southern Union men merely
because they loved the Union; they have
placed themselves beneath contempt, unles.
they can retrieve some honor On the field o

Will punish no man for opinions sake. Show

How To MIKE Wool Sell.

The following directions are contributed
for the Rural New Yorker by an expc
ricnced Boston Wool ageut
First. Before washing, tag your sheep and
sell the tags to peddlcrs, or get them worked
for family use.
Second. Wash Immediately after rain; if
not convenient to DO this, take yeur flock to
water ard dip each sheep in tillyou 60 through
the whole Ioi, then commence washing on
those first dipped and wash till the water
runs clear.
Third. After washing, drive to a clean
grass pasture, and, if dry weather, then com.
me@ce shearing in four days, and never let
them run over six or eight days at most if
rainy, so as to delay, get your sheep under
cover, and keep them in a close place few
hours, and thcy will soon dry from aLimal
heat.
Fourth Shear in good clean place, and
keep all dirt and filth away from the wool ;
do up the feoccs, shearcd side out; use the
small twine, neglect the large wholly; do not
roll them too tight, and pass the twinc
around each fleece from two to four times,
being sure to trim all loose ends Of the twine
from every fleece, as those on tue wool make
it appear very bad.
Fifth Fack your fecces in clean, light
place, and put all unwashed and heavy buck $
tlccccs 10y themselves; then the buyer can
SEQ all your wool at once, without handling
but little, and be prepared TO make YOU an
offer. Keep your wool out Of all hogsheads
and boxes, for in them it always shows bad.
If you follow these instructions, be assured
your wool will sell.

10 hi, question, we rnsw.r, Y1s, by al
means.
The Executive Committee OF tie State
Agricultural Society is now in secession il
this city. Their cction gill, OF course, decide
the question whether their vii, be State
Fair or not, We repeat, lct there be State
Fair, b. all means. IichigGn is producing
State; depends upon her agriculture, which
is the real basis Of I'll her commerce and bus.
iness, and financial Success.
The war, or rebellion mora properly speak
ing, for we hate to dignity il by calling il
"war'-instead Of diminishing, ,,ill increase
the demand fer our products-the foreign
and domestic demands bsing the same in
peace or war; the first as always depending
upen the market price, the latter upon the
mouths to feed, which are the same IS usual.
Nor do we consider the present demand or
market for wool, an exception to this general
rule, because Michigan wool n,ust be had, and
combination OF manufacturers cannot long
delay market demand, our wool being Of a
finer quality than war demands require
Tn, prico may rot be as high, but it will be
remunerativo compared with other crops.
Not to hold the Annual State Fair will do
very much 10 confirm the worst auSpicions of
our farmers in regard to general market for
their products, when the opposite must be
the result. The Executive Committee Of the
State Society should hesitate long before they
take the first step which shall add to the gen.
cra distrust. If they do it. and decide not
to hold the Annual Fair, County Societies
will do the same thing-the result of all
which would he to trighten an already too
suspicious class of citizens and add largely
to the general staguation Of business in the
State.
The action of the Executive c, mmittee
may be decided by the action Of the citizens
Of Detroit--all depending upon the liberai,y
with which our citizens meet 10 reapond to
the question. Detroit is as much (or more)
interested in the general prosperity Of the
State as any other city Of equal population,
and should set the example of libcra'ity and
general public spirit pro bono puJlico.--
And we hope our citizens will be liberal, and
encourage our fellow citizins in the interior to
prosecute their public enterprise as usual, by
their usual encouragement to the annual
State Fair Detroit Tribune.

DREADFUL THAGEDY IN OTSEGO
CDUNTY&-JEALOUs MURDER AND
SUICIDE

We learn through private eouce, that a
terrible tragedy occurred in Exeter, Otsego
county, Oh Tuesday morning OF last week.
The parties ere man named Levi Thomas
and his wife. They were natives Of Exeter,
we believe, and were married there fifteen or
sixteen years ago. They had recently return
ed from Ohio, bringing with them two OF
their three children-girls Of twelve and four
teen years Of age. On the morning in ques-
ton these girls were awakened by their faith
er who came into their room. He kissed
them both, and spoke of two men who he
said owed him small sums Of two and three
dollars each after which he returned to the
chamber were Mrs. Thomas was sleeping an Il
stepped on tho foot of the bed, whence he
deliberately fired one shot at her head from
n revolver. The ball grazcd her cheek and
she spraug up and grappled him as he was
preparing to fire "A second time. The little
girls alarmed at the noise, jumped out Of bed
and entered the room in time to see him get
their mothers head between bis knees and
shoot her through the back. He then releas
ed her and she turned over, when he sho. her
again in the breast. Immediately afterward
he placed the muzzle of the pistol at his left
ear aud shot himself through the head. He
died Immediately, but his unfortunate wife
fingered about half an hour.
The cause of this dreadful affair is suppos-
to have been Jealousy. Thomas was man
Of suspicious disposition and was always dis
posed to doubt his wife's chastity, though by
everybody else she was believed to be limo
cent of any disoyaty TO him, even in thought.
