Our Sunday mornings edition brought intelh-
gence confirming the reputation of General Ere
mont's proclamation by the Government. We
felt sure that this would be done, but its prompt
reuudiation is the best indication we could pos
sibly receive of the intention of the Government,
We are glad to see it, for il most unquestionablv
will do a great deal Of good to the cause. In
deed a Union permitting its Generals to so far ex
ceed their authority, could hardly be considered
desirable. Revolution itself would be better with
all its horrors The law of Congress is strin-
gent enough, and is directed against, and is in
furious, only to those who employ their negro
property to aid in promoting the rebellion. These
negroes will be confscated; but, according TO the
law of Congress, the negro must have been EN-
ployed in aiding the rebellion, with his masters
knowledge and consent, and the fact of the EN-
ployment, and the knowledge and consent, must
be proved in the District Court. The objection
able features of Fremont's proclamation will thus
be certainly removed. 81.
While il is gratifying TO know this, it is only what
the people OF the South had right to expect. We
trust that Fremont viii get very angry, fare up.
and resign. No man could be better spared
One who assumes such authority, and acts IN di-
rect opposition to a law OF Congress, is unit for
the responsible post that has been assigned him,
and ought to resign TO prevent the necessity Of his
