The following proclamation issued by
the rebel chief excites universal disgust.
The National Intelligsncsr thus introduces
it:
Whether regard be had to its style or
its contents, its manner or its matter, this
address scarcely admits of description,
save in those terms which we prefer to
exclude from our columns We may say,
however, that in our opinion Gen. Beaure-
gard pays but poor tribute to the cour-
age and intelligence of his compatriots
when he supposes that such sensation"
appeals are necessary in order to stimulate
their hostility to the Federal Government
tn the Baltimore american we must be
permitted to say that it passes our COM
prehersion to conceive how any man OF
his standing could put his name to such
a production We would fain hope that
it is not genuine. We would iain be-
'lieve that SO gross and unwarranted a
'misapprehension of the purposes OF the
United States Government must have
been fo:sted upon the public by some
enemy Of Gen Bsauregard. The publ
cation is credited, however, to the Rich
mond Enga-es, and therefore leaves no
doubt of its being official"

Serious Bank Riots in wisconsin.

The Milwaukee bankers and business
same impossible job under which the
Chicago bankers broke down-that was,
to make Wisconsin stumptail and bobtail
go for good currency during the war"
As in Chicago, so in Wisconsin, they soon
found the lead too heavy to carry, and
one day las. week, having carefully paid
out the worst of their stumptail to the poor
Germans in Milwaukee, the bankers un-
dertook to shut down by refusing any
longer to receive it. Germany was natu-
rally thrown into a cerment, which on
Monday eliminated in a mob attack on
the banks. Slitchelfs Bank was first at
tackled. and all the furniture destroyed.
MT. MltcneIi, with several clerks, was in
the building at the time, one of whom
was taken out insensible. The mob next
attacked the State Bank, Bank of Milwau-
kee, Juneau Bank and Martins Brokers'
Office The damage done to these was
very great The Montgomery Guards,
Capt. O'Rourke, were called out by the
Mayor, but after arriving upon the ground
called out and fired upon the mob with
buckshot A number were wounded but
nobody killed, and 60 prisoners were
taken, of whom 90 were subsequently re-
leased As the mob, however, still continu-
Cd threatening, the city was declared under
martial law, and eight military companies
brought liz to maintain the peace.
Reports from interior cities of Wiscon-
of the Milwaukee banks, are rife of similar
mob assaults upon the banks. At Water
town it is reported, the Germans have
completely stripped the banking houses
of the Bank of WATERFOWL and the JEFF
ferson County Bank of their furniture,
books, and other movable effects, destroy
ing them and badly damaging the build
ings.
The damage done to tho Banks in Mil
wakee consisted chiefly in injury to the
bank buildings and destruction of the
bank books. No money appears to have
been taken.
Geo. Randall, of Wisconsin, appears to
have succeeded in patching up sort of
treaty with the bankers, by which they
have greatly heightened the list of the
par banks, which they had cut down to
thirty. The arrangement is to exchange
Wisconsin bonds for batch of Southern
bonds. We don't pretend to understand
how the thing is to be done, but it said to
be satisfactory"

Specimen Of" Contraband..


A correspondent of the n Y Times, writ
ing from Fortress Monroe, gives the follow
ing account of "contraband" who is
harbored there:
AN ebony specimen of eontraband'
who says he missed his ole massa bout
tree weeks ago, one dark night in Virginia,
an hash seen him since, is employed in
Fortress Monroe, and came up with Lieu
tenant Butler to day He ran away from
Virginia, and has been in the Fort some
weeks He was sent out some days ago,
being acquainted with the country beyond
Hampton, and reported tho existence of .
battery At Big Bether-having eluded the
pickets, and got where he could spot rebel
forces. He reported several companies in
and around Great Bethel, and, subsequent
ly to his discovery, lay some "a hours in
the bushes, consealing himself from the
foe He at last escaped, was shot at, re-
cieved ball through the sleeve of his
jacket another shot away pistol from his
belt. yet he returned to the Fort unharm-
ed. When tho late expedition went for
ward this negro ;ccompaned Fieu. Butler
and Major Winthrop. This cOlored boy is
a most intelligent sample of his race, and
is said to be very useful at the Fort as scout
and servent. He goes fully armed always,
and says he can smell rebel furderer
dan he ken . skunk He was in the
thickest of the late fight, and was highly
sericeable to Lieut.. Butler throug hout the

The report to which tho telegraph has
given such wide circulation. that Ben
Mccullough is OH the southern border OF
Missouri with 5000 men, and IS marching
to the aid of Gov. Jackson, is thus dis
posed of by the St Louis republican Of
Tucsdsy:
We have it from gentleman, known
we'll in ST. Louis, who left Maysville, Ark,
on Friday of last week, that McCulloch
was then at Fort Smith, (eighty-fve miles
from Maysville) where he had been for
the last four We ks. He had q force OF
about three thou. and men, and had not
thought of coming into Missouri. Our in
formant says that the people in the north.
ern part of Arkansas want McCulloch and
his men there, and cannot spare them
away. He does not regard it at all prob
able that tho Texan Major will leave
Arkansas 10 come into this State on any
pretext There were no troops at Mays

that vicinity was perfectly quiet

KENTUCKY AND MARYLANp.-The effect
of the political hacks Of Kentucky and
Maryland to precipitate those States into
revolution has met with terrible rebuke.
The PEOPLE at the ballot box have over
whslmed disunion. In Maryland not one,
and in Kentucky but ono dIsunionist has
been squeezed into Congress. The Union
vote in both States is a. five to one.
After such an expression at the polls, the
only step needed to keep Maryland quiet
is to disperse her traitor legislature, and
to assure the fidelity of kentucky, her
traitor Governor ought to be put in cage
with jackson of Missouri. This whole
disuuion business is but the work Of
broken down political hacks, and when
about half Of them are hung, beginning
with jeff Davis and Wigfall, the people of
the whole South will not be slow to return
to their loyalty to the stars and stripes.

,Help For East Tennessee.

The Louisville Journal says there can be
little doubt that the Union men of East
en- Tennessee will appeal to the Federal
authorities for reeo milton and support as
an organized Provisional Government rep
resenting the State. The adjourned Union
Convention of the eastern counties was to
reassemble at Greenviile this week, Thom-
as A. r. Nelson, President, and it was gen.
orally understood that its action would be
to assume the same powers which the voice
of the whole country has already ratified
In the Wheeling example. Senator john
ION has therefore fastened to Washington
to induce the Cabinet to do in some way
for his own State aud people what's being
done for Western Virginia; and it can
hardly be that his mission shall fail OF
success. He will return to Tennessee at
once.

damaging Northsr commerce by letting
loose upon it all tho free hooters IN tbs
world under tho name of privateers,
promises to be grand failure. England
and France have decided not to allow
them to bring prizes into any of their

trouble to get into the blockaded secession
ports. A prize is no prize until taken into
some port and pronounced lawful cap
ture by prize court We suspect a .pri-
