GEN. FREMoNT'S PROCLAMATION
We yesterday heard the sympathetic response
made by Pennsylv anians at the foot of tho Biae
h'dge to the decree promulgated by Gen. Ere
mont that the slaves of Missouri Rebels wero
free. 1t will be re-cchCed in the departments
and bureaus here, and speedily grow into tbs
policy Of the Federal Administration.
THE CONDITION or KENTUCKY.
Stirring events will soon take place 10 Ken
lucky, but leader is wanted there. general
desire is expressed that Mr. Holt will immedi.
ately return and place himself at the head Of the
Union movement, with the commission OF Major
General, or any other commission that may suit
him.
Prominent Kentuckians now in Washington,
owners of large numbers of slaves, are jubilant
over FremOnt's Proclamation and it's probable
effects in Missouri and Kentucky, and express
the hope tDat the same maxim will be adopted IN
the latter State if the necessity arises for it.
Let the Government strengthen Gen. Anderson.
and loyal men will strengthen tue Government,
says the Union men. Camps should not DO
moved, but others established. The Legislature
will hold short session, assume the national
tax. and issue bonds for paying it. The Rebeia
NAV ATTEMPT to intimdate the Legislature, but
il will be firm. Our informant thinks that tue
North undertakes tue strength of the Rebel
Army; that Tennessee has $1,000, aud Alabams
$4,000 in the field.
THE ISSUE or PASSES.
The rule is infexible that passes viii not, in
any case whatsoever, be Issued to persons de-
airing to 60 South.
THE HATTERAs INLET CAPTURES.
Lieut.. Lowry who was in the Hatteras Inlst
afiair, in command of the steamer Peabody,
gives interesting additional particulars of that
expedition. The Harriet Lane is not destroyed.
She followed the Peabody through the channel
safely till she undertook to get ahead by short
cut, when she was brought up on bar. All
efforts to get her off we're unavailiug for forty
eight hours She stuck fast where she grounded.
IL was fDaly determined to abandon her, and
her armament and coal, and the crews baggage
we're taken out. Lightened thus, an Opportune
high.tide floated her. At $3.50 p. N. on Satur-
day, the Stars and Stripes were again run to
the ships masthead. The steamtug Fanny wss
made fast, and as the Peabody steamed away
for Hampton Roads the Lane appeared to all tho
watchers 10 be safe and unipjgred.
As he neared Hampton Roads Lieut.. Lowry
came in sight of large strange steamer, tow
ing floating battery seemingly from Norfolk TO
sewau's Point. If it should be placed in position
near the neck Of the little Peninsula, on whlcn
is situated Fortress Monroe, it might interrupts
communication between that and Hampton, aud
require very considerable force TO disiodge OK
capture il.
Lieut.. Lowry reiterates the opinion that the
HATTIE a. Inlet affair is one Of the most lmportanS
event, of the war; that the position was OF IN
eolculable value to the rebels, and is OF immense
inheritance TO us. Its loss has struck their heart
of hearts-their prvateeriDg, and deal. blow 10
that sort of piratical business from which 1t can
only recover by the neglect of our Governments
TO follow up its successes. He says that ths
prisoners are in 8 state Of utter dependency,
and some of the best informed among them de-
clare their cause lost. They agree that this
event will create home panic among the Cotton
State rebels, now along the Potomac, who VIII
rush South to protect their own shores.
The commerce Of Albemar.e Sound may %
measured BY the fact that fifteen sail enter thu
three inlets daily.
Lieut. Lowry assisted in taking as prize the
ship Henry C. Brooks, loaded by Newbern
merchant for Liverpool with 900 bbls. of spirits
