PROCLAMATIONBY BY GEN FREMONT
d" HEADQUARTERS OF THE WESTERN DEPARTMENT,

IT.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 81, lSGl.
Circumstances, in my Judgment of suffi.
cient urgency render it necessary that the Com
manding General of this Department should
assume the Administrative powers of the State.
It's disorgaDized condition, the helpleSsnesS of
the civil authority, the total insecurity of life,
and the devastation of property by bands of
murderers aud marauders who infect nearly
every county in the State and avail themselves
of the public misfortunes and the vicinity of a
hostile force to crafty private and neighbor-
hood vengeance, and who find an enemy wher
ever they find plunder, finally demand the sever
est measures to repreSs the daily increasing
crimes and outrages which are driving off the
inhabitants and running the State. In this
condition the public safety and the success of
cur arms require unity of purpose, without let
or hindrance, to the prompt administration Of
affairs.
+ "In order therefore, to suppress disorders,
TO maintain as far as now practicable the pub
lie peace, and to give security and protection
to the persons and property Of loyal citizens, l
do hereby extend and declare established,
martial law throughout the State of Missouri
The lineSof the army of occupation in this
State are for the present declared to extend
from LeaVenworth by way of the posts Of
Jefferson City, Rolla, and Irouton, to Cape
Girardeau on the Mississippi River.
All persons who shall be taken With arms
in their hands within these lines shall be tried
by eowt-martial, and, if found guilty, will be
shot. The property, real and personal, of all
persons in the State of Missouri who shall take
up arms against the United States, and who
shall be directly proven to have taken active
part with their enemies in the field, is declared
to be confscated to the public use and their
slaves, if any they have, are hereby declared
free.
All persons who shall be proven to have
destroyed, after the publication of this order,
railroad tracks, bridges or telegraphs, shall
suffer the extreme penalty Of the law.
" All persons engaged in reasonable core
spondence, in giving or procuring aid to the
enemies of the United States, in disturbing
the public tranquility, by creating and circu,
lating false reports or incendiary documents
are in their own interest warned that they are
exposing themselves.
" All persons who have been led away from
their allegiance are required to return to their
homes forthwith any such absence without
sufficient cause will be held to be presumptive
evidence against them.
The object of this declaration is to place
in the hands of the military authorities the
power to give instantaneous effect to existing
laws, and to supply such deficiencies as the
conditions OF war demand. But it is not in
tended to suspend the ordinary tribunals of the
country where The law will be administered by
the civil officers in the usual manner, and with
their customary authority whiia tho Sama can

THE NEWS.

| Carolina Coast Of the expedition which was
sent out from Fortress Monroe, on Monday
the goth ult The result can be stated in
very few words, and it is not often in warfare
that so important an exploit has been soquick-
ly and quietly accomplished by it we have
come into possession of two forts, twenty-five
cannon, | 900 stand of arms and more tban
100 prisoners, among whome are several OIL
GERS of note, and, as it is reported one of
jeff Davis'S Cabinet officers, thought this point
is not fully confirmed. 1t appears from the
, papers captured at the forts that the United
States Government had in its service, as Con
sui at Rio Jauero, traitor of the blackest
dye His name is Robert G. Scott, jr, a
Georgian by birth, aud appointed from Vir-
ginia He had furnished to the Rebels
complete list of vessels loading in theport oiitio
Janeiro aud destined for Northern ports
This information was turned by the Rebel pi-
rater to good account, for the record of their
operations shows that that they have captured
several of the vessels thus made known to
them.
The advanced posts of the army of the Po-
tomac, under Gen. Richardson, had a brilliant
skirmsh early Thursday morning with the
! pckets OF the enemy near BaIIey'S Cross
/ Roads. The rebels were TWO hundred strong,
and the Union forces, though greatly inferior
in numbers, completely defeated them, killing
large number and taking several prisoners

Ba5~ We notice by late number Of the

Of that county held its Convention at Laporte,
on the 9th uIt., and placed in nomination
the following county ticket For Associate
Judges, JAMES DEEGAN, RICHARD BEnFo5D ;
Treasurer WALTER SPENCER Commissioner.
HENRY WILLIAMS Auditor, LEWIS MARTIN.
The Republican Standing Committee met
at Laporte, on the 24th ut,, and fixed upon
the 18th Of September for the holding OF their
Convention. \ Committee Of three was ap
pointed to confer with a similar Committee
from the Democratic party if such a Com
mittee should be appointed to ascertain
- whether it is practicable to form a ticket
which will receive the unanimous support of
the people Of the county, at the coming elec
ton and that if snch Union ticket is form
it should be understood that neither party
surrenders its distinctive principles or its or
ganization, but as present arrangement, which
the times peculiarly demand"
This arrangement will not probably be af-
fected, as we have been informed by a promi
nent member Of the democratic party of that
county, the democracy would enter into no
alliance with the Republicans, and that their
party lines would be drawn tighter than ev
er, at the coming election. We have not

Things We are Tired Of.

We are tired If hearing the girls say they
have ''no time" to read Macaulay or Milton.
when they will sit up half the night to find
out whether the hero of red pepper novel
ge;s knocked on the head or escapes from
the shipwreck, with his ladylove and her
bandboxes, on board four inches square!
We are tired of hearing women complain
that their husbands don't care so much for
them as they used to, and setting it down to
the score of heartlessness, when it is nothing
on earth but the sour bread and burnt ham
at the breakfast table. Knock at the doors
Of their affection with frying pan, and they
will open it fast enough!
We are tired of listening to the outcry of
"hard times" from business men, whe won
der "where on earth the money slips to-
when part of it is leaking out at the top of
their head through costly Panama hat and
part shut up in cigar case in their coat
pockets. and part going down their tnroats
in ''brandy smash"
We are tired of being brought up short"
by pair Of heels planted on the trails of our
silken raiment, and still more tired of being
transfxed by the scowl of fashionable lady
when we get swamped among her founces.
Won't the fair sex abbreviate their dresses
We are tired of the men who chew tobac-
CO in your face and rull out their pocket
knives to trim their nails, while they are
talking with you've are tired of the chill
dren who learn French and philosophy at FIVE
years old, and converse in four-syllabled
words out of the dictionary, and don't know
what buttercups mean: and we are tired of
the old ladies who dress in the style oi sweet
sixteen
Such are some of the things that the Edi-
tor of Life Illustrated complains Of being
tired of-and he concludes by asking, 'does
anybody blame us for being tired to death of
all these things ?"

Hope in a Dark Day.

AT every period Of doubt and perplexity
in our annals, (says the National Latelligen.
cer,) there has been statesmen who, rising
above the spirit of party, and extricating
themselves from the passions of the hour,
have been able, with calm intelligence, to
point way of escape from the perils which
threatened our civil existence. Can it be
that the spirit of counsel and mt deration has
so far departed from the public men of the
present day that no plan of accommodation
can be concerted for the pacifcation Of exis-
ting dissenslons Are the difficulties which
beset pacific adjustment of our present dis-
contents greater than those which have been
surmounted by the sages and patriots of our
Government at successive periods in its hise
tory? Are they greater than those which
were encountered by the men who framed The
Articles of Confederation, or by those who
brought symmetry and beauty out of civil
dissolution in 1889, or 5y those who repres-
sed sectional animosities, and at the same
time prosecuted a successful war against the
first Power of the world in 1872. or by those
who composed the agitations of 1850 in a
pact of promise which rallied to its adj
hesion the support of the people in all sec-
tions We think not; and, believing, we
should be 10th to do so much discredlt to the
wisdom and patriotism of our contemporary
statesmen as to doubt tnat they will prove
equal to the emergencies Of the present cri.
sis.
Let there be above all things, no words of
elimination or recrimination uttered on the
floor of Congress. The time calls for calm
and sober reflection. not for the language of
hot debate. Let the Representatives of all
parties of al sections blend their counsels
and their labors in hearty and earnest effort
which shall look to the restoration of peace,
order aud fraternity on an enduring basis
Upon those who shall be first in this labos of
love the whole country would delight to be-
stow its choicest honors, while the pen of his-
tory would record their names for the admis
ration and homage Of unnambered genera
lions, not only among our postsrity, but
among the patrons of civil liberty through
the world, and to the remotest ages.
