Jacksop's Proclamation.

At a meeting i'll New York, few
days ago, to consider the case OF the
suffering loyal men Of North Carolina,
Bancroft, the historian, made speech,
which is thus referred to by the n. I.
Eceuiag Post:
One of the striking incidents Of the
evening was when Mr.. Bancroft read
the ori ginal letter of General Jackson
transmitting the closing part OF his ia
nous proclamation to the revising hands
of Mr.. Livingston. "One night, IN the {,
watches of the night, as he sat alone,
said Mr.. Bancroft, ''he finished that
proclamation, and as he sent 1t to Llv-
insston he accompanied it with these
words, written with his own hand-thc
COPY | now read was from the original
letter, for the authenticity of which |
can vouch:
"DEAE SIR: I submit the basis and
conclusion OF the proclamation for your
amendment and revision. Let 1t re-
ccivc your best effort of language to
strike at the heart and to speak to the
feelings of my dcluded countrymen OF
South Carolina. The Union must be
preserved, without blood, if this be pos
sible; but it must be preserved at all
hazards, and at any p1ce.
Yours, with high regard,
ANDREW JACKSON.
Dec. +, i832-ll o'clock P. NJ.
"Now," continued the speaker, "can
any new phantom trightcq Us from the
love of the Uuion: If slavery and the
Union be incompatible, listen TO the
words of Andrew Jackson that come to
us from the tomb: The Union must at
all hazards be preserved At this
allusion to slavery, the cheering on all
sides was terrific, the men rising to
wave their hats and the ladies to wave
their handkerchiefs. If 1iaere ever was
doubt as to the drift Of the higher
sentiment of New York, it must have
been settled by this exhibition.

left Ccntreyillc at 4 p. NJ, and the other
Fairfax Court House at noon, that up to the

GENTLY to indicate that it is no part Of their
purpose to undertake anything like an advance

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR UNIvERsAL1srs.-
We clip the following important and appropri-
ate questions to Universallsts. from the Reposi-
tory, edited by Rev. Eli Ballou of Montpelier ::
g Universaist fathers, Universalist mothers
are you bringing up your children to be truly
religious Are you teaching them, both by
precept and example, to read the Bible, TO bow
in prayer, 10 regard the Sabbath, to love public
worship, and to reverence all things sacred and
divine! How long have you lived with ycur
children Five, ten, fifteen, perhaps twenty
years. And yet have you ever, in those many
years, GATHERED them around you and talked
with them upon religious themes Have they
ever seen you kneel in prayer! Have they ever
heard your voice supplcating the Father of
their spirits Have you ever spent one hour in
explaining to them the lessons of the Bible =
Do you show them, by your kind and christian
conduct at home, by your integrity, candor hu-
manity, cheerfulness, that religion is something
that makes men and women better, purer in
heart, more exemplary in life Or do you tell
them that you do not pretend to be religious
that it is "A matter of indifference whether men
read the Bible and pray, and attend church o.
o, Universalist parent, consider well YOUR duty
in reference to this matter-devotion.

of the battle to the effect that the single cause
of the panic was the charge of a large BODY OF
Rebel cavalry among the tcamsters, ana the

This charge started the notion that our army
had been overwhelmed, and that the enemy was
driving in full force on our reserves.
Immediately the unarmed soldiers and team
sters ran and spread the alarm at Centrevlle,
when the order was given for retreat.
All the organized companies withdrew III

the more because the Rebel dispat ch from Rich

while carefully stating that Beauregard was
safe and that Johnston was in the thickest of
