Proclamation IN the Army.

A Washington dispatch to the CONNER.
cial says
1t seems to be the confident belief OF
the best informed military men in Wash
ington that the Army OF the Potomac has
received the Presidents conditional
emancipation proclamation with the ut
most unanimity and enthusiasm.
Gen. Mcclellan has given his opinion
and assurance on this subject; and the
Government is strongly fortified in the
bold position the President has taken by
other corps of the army as far as heard
from. 1t is universally regarded as a war
measure. This is Mr.. Lincoln's interpre-
tation of it, which he freely expressed.
On the other hand, the Washington
Republican has the following paragraph
on the subject of threatened army re-
volt:
We have it on pretty good authority.
from gentleman from Alexandria, that
many of the soldiers stationed in that city,
with their officers, are showing some spir-
it of insuborination in consequence of the
Presidents proclamation. The case of
three soldiers will probably be at
tended to, and the shoulder-strapped gen.
tlemen who are so sure that they did not
come out to fight for the negro, may pos
sibly have a nice opportunity to sink into
the Obscurity from which they came.

News Items and Rumors.

! A Washington dispatch TO the New
York Commercial dated Sept. 29, says
that p 900 troops had left the CITY, their
destination not known.
The Washington Star of the 29th re-
ports a reconnaissance TO Warrenton
junction without finding any signs of the
enemy. 1t doubts the report that Lee is
making serious movements to re-cross in
to Maryland. 1t says 10000 troops left
Washington last night in one direction.
and another body in another direction.
The Star says: 1t is generally believed
here that JEFF. Davis is about to send So
900 troops on forced marches across the
mountains to Wheeling, thence to Pitts
burg and Cincinnati, then forming June
tion with Bragg and Kirby Smith, in
Kentucky. When Mcclellan crosses in
force into Virginia, the rest of the rebels
will fall back on Richmond. The Star
intimates that Heintzleman is in position
to intercept the latter movement if made.
Special TO the Post. 1t is believed
here that Lee is preparing for north
ward movement from Winchester. 1t is
probable, however, that he will find
enough defensive work on his hands with
out crossing the Potomac again.
The only stamps ready for deliverance
at the office of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, are check stamps for
checks, drafts, or orders on sight, and
proprietary stamps for patent medicines,
cosmetics, etc. Other stamps will be
ready in few days, of which notice will
be given.
A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Enquirer says it is rumored
that the reason for the existing quietude
of the armies on the upper Potomac is,
that Commissioners are on their way from
the Confederate Congress to propose terms
of peace, said to be something like the

Voyage of zoos miles-Cruiseo of the
steamer Shreveport in the Upper
Missouri

! The steamer ,Hreuepon has arrived at
our wharf, successfully terminating one of
what are still considered the most extra
ordinary and difficult voyages that can
be made ON this continent, but W iiiell will
become of very common occurrence in the
course of a short period of years. She
sailed from this city on the goth of last
April, and has, consequently, been absent
close upon five months, portion ofwhich
she was under the necessity of lying idle,
waiting for passengers and freight. The
first part of her performance was a run of
three thousand three hundred miles, to
Fort La Barge, recently created post.
She returned to near Omaha, two thou
sand miles more; then back to the mouth
of Milk River, sixteen hundred miles,
and concluded her cruise by a twenty-five
hundred mile trip to her original starting
point-St. Louis. Thus it will be seen
that during this cruise the SkrereTpoH has
run the extraordinary number of nine
thousand four hundred miles.
The animating object of the expedition
was to convey a company of gold-Seekers
as near Us possible to certain reported
fields OF the auriferous material. Capt.
La Barge, commander of the vessel, who
is an old and careful r0ydgsar, informs us
that those who have visited Deer Lodge,
and prospected circuit of two hundred
miles, around Fort La Barge, report the
prospects good. and that the pursuit of
gold will pay.
The Indians in the mining country are
peaceful, and no apprehensions of danger
from them need be entertained.
The Sioux along the Missouri, however,
exhibited determined hostility, and it is
believed that they will have TO be chas-
tised in the old Harney style.
The Srsrepou, it may be remarked,
went higher up the Missouri than any
steamboat had ever been before. The
point where she was rounded to, drawing
probably two feet of water at that time, is
six miles above Fort La Barge. Under
command of the same adventurous citizen,
it is proposed that the ,&rscepo,t shall un-
dertake similar voyage next year, start
ing early in the Spring.--Hisso,rt Democrat.
