Gen. Fremont. PROCLAMATION.

Gen. Fremont shifts the nail on the
head" exactly, and drives it home Mar
tial law was indispensable to Missouri.
Without it there was neither protection
or safety for its citizens. And he has,
also, adopted just, reasonable and timely
policy in regard to the slaves belonging to
traitors and rebels The property of trait
ors and rebels is, by law, declared "confs-
cate to the State" When slave owners
are found with arms and taken prisoners,
their slaves are conhscated, but the Gov
eminent can neither hold nor sell slaves. -
80 they become free from necessity. and
this is the act of their masters--a penalty
for treason--a righteous, but too light a
pcnaltv.--T Albany Eve. Jour.

On consulting the map of North Caro-.
lima In any Of our common aliases, Cape
Hatteras will be found without difficulty.
and also Ocracoke Inlet, little to the
South. Hatteras Inlet, however, is not
marked out in most of the aliases. 1t
lies about LIZ miles northeast of Ocracoke
and an equal distance south of Cape Hat
teras lighthouse. 1t is low sand island,
covered with trees on the ea tern side OF
the island. The least water on the bar is
IA feet, near low water, and the rise and
fall Of the tide only two feet. Ocracoke
Inlet is defended by a battery of six 30
Founders, but probably before this in pos
session OF our troops, is almost an equally
important point, both being by far the
best entrances to the North Carolina main
land. With these closed, the State may
be said TO be shut In from the ocean.
Privateers can no longer be sent to sea
through the Dismal Swamp Canal and AL
bemarie Sound, and thus all communica-
tion between North Carolina, Virginia and
Europe is cut off

last lay of the fight by ball through,
the calf of the leg, and flesh wounds
on the right arm from grape shot.
