OF regulars, with battery OF six pieces,
marched here this morning. Capt Birdsall's
company Of artillery arrived this morning, and
proceeded to Clarksburg.
Gen Mcclellan continues actively engaged.
He went east as tar as Cheat river, on Il tour

He has issued the following procla nation TO
the army of the west -
You are here to support the government of
your country, and to protect the lives and
liberties of your brethren threatened ny re
bellious and trltorous foe. No higher or
nobler duty could devolve on you, and ex-
peet you to bring to its performance the high.

officers of every grade to enforce the highest
discipline, and | know that those OF all
grades, privates and officers, will dis
play in battle cool, heroic courage, and
will know how to show mercy to Il dis
armed enemy. Bear in mind that you are in
the country of friends, not enemies; that you
are here to protect not TO destroy. lake no.

to do so by your general officers. Remember

Garry into battle the conviction that you are

God nor man can sustain them. They have
without cause rebelled against mild and pa
ternal government they have seized upon
public and private property they have out
ragged the persons OF northern men merely
because they came from the north, and those
OF southern men merely because they loved
the Union. They have placed themselves
beneath contempt unless they can retrieve
some honor on the field of battle. You will
pursue different course. You will be hon

heard that there was danger here. l have
come to place myself at your head, and share
it with you. fear now but one thing-that
you will not find foemen worthy OF your
