ANOTHER important proclamation
has been issued by the President. In
consequence of the failure of the in
surgen.s in the rebellious States to
disperse in accordance with the re-
ouirements of his proclamation issued
on the 18th of April last, the Presi-
dent now declares the inhabitants of
Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Florida, to be in a state OF
insurrection against the United States
and that all commercial intercourse
between the rebelIious States and the
inhabitants thereof, and the citizens
of other States and other parts OF the
United States is unlawful, and will
remain unlawful nntil such insurrection
shall cease, or shall have been sup
pressed. Everything, therefore, con-
ing from those States into other parts
of the q. s., without the special
permission of the President, through
the Secretary of the Treasury, or
proceeding to any of those States by
land or water, win be forfeited to the
United States, together with the ves-
sci or vehicle conveying the same

From Europe.

The steamship Persia arrived at
New York on Wednesday, with advi-
ces from Europe tao days later than
were received by the Nova Seotian
She left Liverpool on the I'd, and
Queenstown on the 4th inst. The
Liverpool Cotton Market had expe-
rienced no change in prices, and was
dull at the close on Saturday. Bread
stutfs we're firm, and Provisions dull.
The political news is generally nnim-
portant. 4 debate on arrival of ma
val matters had taken place In the
British Parliament, In which Mr..
Lindsay announced that there was a
desire on the part Of France to come
to an understanding with England in
regard to their respective forces. and
urged the Government to meet that
desire. Lord Palmerston, however,
contended that such an arrangement
with one Power was impractible-that
all Naval Powers would have to be
parties. The hostility of he London
Times to the negotiation Of any por-
ton of the American Loan in Eng
lond, had been again exhibited in a
paragraph introducing brief COM
municatioD. The editor says: 1t is
not to be supposed that any houses of
influence would be willing to act as
agents in such an operation. The
reactionary movement in Italy had
been almost entirely suppressed. 4
combined and Simultaneous movement
in several provinces had been attemp-
ted, but it had been entirely defeated.
Advices from Warsaw state the Office
of Governor General Of Poland is to
be suppressed.

A FAT MAN IN BATTLE. During
the Bull Run battle an order was Civ
en- to a New England company to lie
down and load, and only rise when in
the act of firing. During the hottest
of the conflict Captain Taw observed
a man standing while loading. "Con
trary to order,' exclaimed the cap
tain, "you must lie down while load
ing" I" The fact is, captain, /" said
the man addressed, am so plaguey
fat that if lie down to load it takes
too long to get up again." The cap
tain turned away with smile, and
left the fat man to choose his own
method Of Sighting.

The Battle in Missouri.


TIE battle which took place near
Springfield. Mo-, on Saturday, a week
appears to hive been even moro holly
contested than that Of Bull Run.
Viewed in a military light, 1t may be
considered drawn battle but TAX
ing into consideration the disparity Of
Numbers. it may we'll be considered
great Wet DRY for the National arms.
Gen. Lyon, it seems, was led TO take
the initiative by apparently authentic
reports that heavy reiuforcements
under Gen. Hardee were on their way
to Join The rebel forces under McCul-
och. Our atm7 marched out of
Springfield on Friday evening, only
fftg.fge hundred strong-~the Home
Guards remaining behind-~and rested
on the prairie during 81 portion ct the
night. About snnrise on Saturday
morning the enemy's ou1posts were
driven 10, and soon after the action
became general. The main attack
was made in two columns, led by Gen-
erals Lyon and Sturges, while Gen.
Stegel had a fanking force of about q
Thousand men, with four pieces Of
artillery, on the south of the enemy's
camp. During the battle, which
ragged from sunrise until past one
O'Clock in the afternooL, three distinct
charges wers made by the rebels upon
Capt. Potter's Battery, bnt each time
they were repulsed with terrible
slaughter. Gen. Lyon, it appears,
fell early Ia tie day, at the head. of a
Kansas regiment, which he was lead
ing on to a charge-its Colonel having
been disabled. The enemy at last was
thrown into disorder, aud commenced
retreating, but our forces were so bad
ly cut up that it was not deemed prn-
dent to pursue Gen. Seigel lost
three of his guns, but spiked them
and destroyed the carriages before he
left them. Our loss is varieusly esti-
mated at from one hundred and fifty
to three hundred killed, and several
hundred wounded while that of the
enemy is placed at least two thousand
killed and wounded. They also lost
as before stated, all their tents and
camp equipage, and about one hundred
horses. Gen. Price was not killed, as
stated in the first dispatches, and
there appears to be some doubt about
the death of Mccullough. The rebels
made no attempt to follow our forces
on their retirement from Springfield,
and 1t was considered probable that
Gen. Seigel would not fall back fur
Their than Lebanon, where be wonld

Editorial Convention

The New Jersey Editorial Assoeia-

at the United States Hotel, Atlantic
City, on Thursday Of last week.
The attendance was better thar at
any meeting since the grand ovation
at Paterson some Two years since.
This was owing 10 part to the liberal
Invitation extended to the press and
its representatives.
The morning was cloudy and indica-
ted rain, but the signs wore away aud

forenoon. The members spent the
time in bathing, promenading, sailing,

we had quite pleasant time.
There was a unanimous vote OF
thanks rendered by the association to
the various railroad companies over
which we passed, for their kind cour-

also to Mr.. M'Kibben of the United

Quiet People.

Did you ever think, ambitious. en-
ergetie, busting reader, man or wo-
man, what q blessing it ia that the
great majority of the people Of the
world are not like you? If you have
not, stop a moment and consider. and
yru@wiu thank fortune that it is SO.
Men that never talk at town.mcetings,
that don't try to become ofice-holders
at every change in the administration
an don't stick their elbows into You
in crowd. are very likely to pass
nnnoticed through the world, and you
have the mistaken notion that they
never did you any good. Women
who attend to their baking aud ba-
bies, who never talk 81 andal at sewing
societies, and don't insist on making
the tonr Of the fashionable watering
places every summer. who live and
die Aobodies in the estimation Of all
but their immediate household circle,
are of incalculable valae. Thank God
for just such melodies What a hub.
hub We should live in, if 1t were 9TH
erwise. The very thought of it Is
painful; how much worse would be
the fact
Quiet people must be those angels
in disguise. that imaginative persons
talk SO much about. Perhaps they
win never do Us auy positive good;
the blessings we receive from them are
negative, and we pass them by unno-
ticed They let Us alone, and the
inhabitents of Seeessia are not the
only persons who wish TO be let alone;
we all ef us have had that feeling
more times than we can tell. We get
tired, of the incessant rattle of the
machinery of society, and long to shut
down the gate. We heartily appre-
eiate the unobtrusive attention Of our
quiet friends. They don't talk to US
when we wish to be silent, or at least
they only address us with that silent
language Of the eye. which expresses
SO much, bat never wearies M They
never bore US by making US listen to
their ambitious plans and more, they
never anger us BY. telling us of our
faults. They don't fatter us when
present, and don't SANDER MS when
away. Indeed they pass through the
world silently, and unnoticed. like the
feather that falls from the wing of the
soaring bird.
1t is doubtless wisely ordered that
some men shonld be willing to be the
leaders of society and should enter
the lists as candidates for the honors
of the world. There are men who, it
would seem, can no more restrain
their ambition than they can dam mp
the ocean. Their blood grows stag
nant in the country, and they rush to
the city to engage in its more active
pursuits Their goal is ever before
them, never reached, and they are
happy only from incessant activity.
