A PROCLAMATION.

PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, existing exigencies demand i'm
mediate and adequate measures for he pro-
lection and preservation OF the National
Union, by the suppression of the insurrec.
tionary combinations now existing in seven
States for opposing the laws OF the Union.
and obstructing the execution thereof, to
which end military force, in addition to
that called forth by my proclamation of the
18th day of April, in the present year, ap-
pears to be indispensably necessary. Now,
therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States and Commander in
Chief of the Army and Navy thereof,
and of the militia of the several States, when
called into actual service, do hereby call
into the service of the United States, forty
two thousand and ninety.fo volunteers,
to serve for period of three years unless
sooner discharged, and to be mustered into
service as infantry and cavalry. The pro.
portions of each arm, and the details of en-
rollment and organization will be made
known through the Department of War ;
and I also direct that the regular army OF
the United States be increased by the addi-
ton of eight regiments of infantry, one
regiment OF cavalry, and one regiment of
artillery, making altogether a maximum
aggregate increase of twenty-five thou
sand seven hundred and fifty officers
and enlisted men, the details of which
increase will also be made known through
the Department of War. And l further
direct the enlistment for not less than one
nor more than three years of eighteen thou
sand seamen in addition to the present force,
for the naval service of the United States.
The details of the enlistment and organiza-
ton will be made known through the De-
partment of the Navy. The call for volun-
teers hereby made, and the direction for the
increase of the regular army, and for the
enlistment of seamen hereby given, together
with the plan of organization adopted for
the volunteers and for the regular forces
hereby authorized, will be submitted to
Congress as soon as assembled. In
the meantime, l earnestly invoke the
co operation of all good citizens in the mea-
sures hereby adopted fer the effectual sup,
preston of unlawful violence, for the i'm
partial enforcement of constitutional laws,
and for the speedlest possible restoration of
peace and order, and with those of happi.
ness and prosperity throughout our country.
In testimony whereof, l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal OF the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this
third day of May, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one,
and of the Independence of the United States
the eighty.fiith.

such articles are opened, they would feel
amply rewarded for their thoughtfulness
and kindness. The Wabashaw boys received
yesterday, from Lake City, three large boxes
filed with cakes, fruit, pies, etc. The St..
Paul boys are getting something almost
every day, but do not fare quite as we'll as
companies from the country.
TIGHTENING THE ENLISTMENT:
From conversation with the officers and
privates, we learn that probably eight-tenths
of the men would agree to prolopg the term
of enlistment to three years, if such an
order was received. Applications are made
in great numbers to get into the companies,
but few are received. The officers think
they could fill up the regiment in week, if
those were discharged who refused to enlist
for three years. All the men and officers
regret the necessity of separating the COM
panies, and hope it may be but temporary.
Upon this subject we subjoin the follow
ing letter from the Colonel:
HEADQUARTERS, FIRST Reg MIN. Vol.
Fort SMELLING, May 6, 1861.
SIR: The General.in Chief of the Army of
the United States requests Gov. Ramsey of
this State to relieve you with two companies
of the First Regiment of Volunteers from this
State, with further request that he inform
you that such orders had been received, and
that your orders "would be sent you by mai"
By direction of the Governor of this State, l
have ordered two companies of my command
to relieve you, but it will require perhaps two
weeks before they can be fully armed and
equipped as required by the orders from Gen.
eral Head Quarters at Washington g6n;
Colonel First Minnesota Regiment.
Commanding Fort Ripley, Min.
Similar letters were despatched to Maj.
Patten, commanding Fort Ridgely. and
Lieut.. Col. Day, commanding Fort Aber-
crombie.
HEALTH OF THE REGIMENT.
We learn from Surgeon Stewart that the
health of the Regiment is excellent. There
is only one man seriously i'll, Mr.. Churchill
Of Capt. Testers company. He is down
with pneumonia and pleurisy, and is very
sick. There can be no healthier place in
the State than Fort Smelling, and with the
exception of the above case, all the men are
healthy.

THURSDAY, May 9.

The call to the ladies in this mornings
paper was promptly responded to, in con-
vention at Ingersoll's Hall. An organiza-
ton, taking the name of st. Paul Voluu.
teers' Aid Society, was formed and the fol-
lowing officers chosen:
President-Miss s. L Williams.
Vice President-Mrs. L. NJ. Fairchild.
Secretary-Mrs. H. E. B. McConkey.
Treasurer-Mrs Berkey.
A committee of three, consisting of Mrs.
Markley and Mrs. Berkey was appointed
to wait on Col German, and inquire into
the wants Of the st. Paul Companies, en-
bodying the most profit able outlay with
reference to their comfort. The following
preamble and resolut ion was then adopted !:
Whereas, The exigencies of the times, and
the disinterested patriotism OF our husbands,
sons, brothers and rend. demands something
on our part, therefore,
Resolved, That we meet every day at two
O'Clock P. NJ, at Ingersolls Hall (Which he has
generously rendered us for the purpOse) to do
whatsoever our hands find to do in aid OF the
glOriOns cause in which they have so gallantly
and mantully enlisted.
Every lady in St. Paul who feels any
interest in the noble work is desired to
manifest it by her presence.
wABAsHAw VOLUNTEERS.
No company in the regiment has had
more substantial tokens of the regard in
which they are held at home than Captain
Pell's company. They have received no less
than six large boxes, filled full OF delicacies
for their tables, as we'll as many necessary
articles not provided by the Government.
And more than this, yesterday they receiv-
ed purse containing one hundred dollars
to be applied for their comfort. In company
of Capt. Pell we visited their quarters yes.
terday, and found table spread that really
looked homelike in neatness and taste.
Every thing looked as neat as pin. The
boys held rousing meeting and passed
resolutions of thanks, which we are compell
ed to omit on account of the press of mat
ter.
SALTWATER VOLUNTEERS.
The reputation of the Saltwater boys
was made long before this company was
mustered in, and we know Of no better CON-
pliment to the delegation at the Fort than
to say they are worthy "chips of the old
block" They are quartered in a sort of
shed outside the walls, and by their ingenu>
ity and labor, have made it the most COM
Portable place in the garrison. They went
to work at once on their arrival, and con-
structed hunks, so that their beds are raised
about foot from the floor, and are kept
clean.
G.R. "A. Delano and G.. A. r. j. A.
Black, visited them yesterday, and were
received with rousing cheers. This com
pany is no less proficient in soldiery accom-.
plishments than in other things we have
named, and is we'll oficered, and stands as
well in every respect as any in the garrison.
PRESENTATION OF FLAGS.
Yesterday was a gala day, although some
what rainy in the afternoon. From the
number Of carriages outside the walls, and
the number of ladies and gentlemen inside,

The Question of State Rights Practi-
cally Solved.

The Question of State Rights Practi-
cally Solved.
As the nation is now in arms in cOnse-
quence of conflicting views entertained re-
specting the measure of sovereignty pos
sessed by individual States, l find practi-
cal illustration of the views entertained on
this subject by Gen. WASHINGTON, as early
as 1889, the first year OF the Federal Gov"
eminent.
WASHINGTON, in that year, made tour
Of the country. He was every where re-
ceived with the highest honors grateful
people could bestow. When the President
reached Boston, Gov. HANCOCK, looking
upon bis State government as an indepen-
dent sovereignty, determined to take pre-
cedence OF the President, and bis Excelen-
cy decided to remain at home until called
upon by WASHINGTON, several miles out of
Boston. Gen. WASHINGTON was met by
the Governors suit, with an invitation to
dinner, but no Governor. WASHINGTON
expected to meet him at the suburbs, but
was disappointed. The procession reached
the Court House, but still no Governor.
WASHINGTON asked the Secretary if his Ex-
cellency was above, and if so, he would not
ascend the stairs. Being assured he was
not, be assembled saw the procession pass,
and quietly went to his lodgings. A mes
sage came that dinner was waiting, the
President declined the invitation, and dined
at home. In the evening two of the
Council came with apologies and explains
tions. "The Governor was not WE'LL" &c.
Gentlemen" replied WASHINGTON, am a
frank man and will be frank with you. For
myself, believe me, do not regard ceremo'
ny but there is an etiquette due to my
Office which l am not at liberty to waive.
My claim to the attention which has been omit.
ted rests upon the question Chether the 'choh
is greater than part. am told that the
course taken by the Governor was designed,
as the subject had been considered in Coun-
Gill;"
| The next day the Governor made bis
call, which was returned by the President,
and thus the difference ended, by HANCOCK
considering that the whole is greater than
part.
Yours, &c. sc. M.

you ,conld give him q chance to run. Like cow

from despair, and fight desperately. But with
ninety.nine Northern men in hundred, on all
occasions, duty, honor. patriotism. has ever
been considered, and will ever be considered,

days of Washington. they have ever deemed

They will not come to Washington, they can
not be hand cuffed and driven to Washington,

be gotten by invading the South, and no power

in the message of the Legislature OF
Tennessee, Gov. HARRIS, after taking a
retrospect of recent events, and animadvert.

and the probable effects of the conduct Of
the Administration upon the future, recon-

to the Southern Confederacy, (Which, it is evil
dent, must embrace the entire slavehOldlng
States of the South.) to be submitted in like
manner, and at the same time, but separately,
for adoption or rejection by the people; so that
they may have the opportunity to approve the
former and reject the latter, or adopt both, as
in thier wisdom may seem most consistent with
the welfare of the State. However fully salts.

to the urgent necessity for speedy adoption OF
