WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. IL, 1861.
MAJoR-GENERAL JOHN G. FREMONT:
SIR: Yours Of the 9Th, in answer to n;ne
OF the "a inst, was just received. Assured that
you, upon the ground, could better Judge of the
necessities of your position than could at this
distance, on seeing your proclamation of August
81 ! perceived no general objection to it i; the
particular clause, however, in relation to tho
confseation of property and the liberation Of
slaves appeared to me to be Objectionable in iIs
noIncontormity to the acs of Congress, passed the
oth OF last August, upon the same subjects, and
hence wrote you expressing my wish that that
clause should be modified accordino]v Yonr
answer just received expresses the preference on
your part that should mako an open order for
the modification, which [ very cheerfullv do
Ii Is therefore ordered that the said clansa &c
said proclamation be so modified, held and CON-
strued as to conform with and not to transcend
the provisions on the same subject contained in
the act Of Congress entitled IAN act to oonfs.

published at length with this order.

his freedom of action be put into astrait jacket.
And while Fremont's bold action is thus neu-
tralized it may be we'll enough to add as sort
of obituary notice of noble deed, the following
from the Louisville Journal, paper published
in slave State:
Those who den0unee Fremonts proclama-
ton as an invasion of mems rights may be en-.
tirely correct in their views on that subject, still
they may as well bear in mind that tho proola-
nation interteres only with the rights Of those
men who would destroy by force of arms all the
rights of United States citizens under the United
States Government
