THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

The force of the Presidents last proclamation
will be understood by examining the provisions
of the act to which he refers. By the fGh pro-
vision it was made the duty of the President
"to cause the seizure of all the estate and pro-
perty, money, stocks, credits and effects of
sundry classes of persons, and Ito apply and
use the same for the support of the army of the
United States" These classes embraced per-
sons who, after the passage of the act should
have acted officially in the service of the So
called Confederate States or of States belong
ing thereto, or have taken the oath to support
the constitution OF the so-called Confederate
States, also persons who, oirning property in
any loyal State or Territory or in the District
OF Columbia, shall after the passage of the act
"asslst, and give aid and comfort to the rebell-
ion." All sales. transfers and conveyances of
any such property by the previous owner is
declared null and void and any suit brought
by such persons TO recover the property, il
etfectually barred by alleging and proving that
the claimant is one of the persons specified in
the section.
In reference to these tratorous officials, and
the traitorous abetters Of treason and rebellion
also who reside in loyal States, no special no.
tice is required. For them the act took effect
from its passage. But the Sirth section provi-
des that "aiy persons within any State or
Territory of the United States, other than those
wiz. loyal States, Sci named as aforesaid, who
after the passage of the act being engaged in
armed rebellion" shall not cahin sirty days
after public warning and proclamation duly
given and made by the President of the United
States cease to aid, countenance and abet such
rebellion and return to his allegiance to the
United States" shall come under the penalty
specified in the fJM section, and it shall be the
duty OF the President to seize and use the pro-
-. l.
That Proclamation and warning the President
has now made. and the sixty days of grace for
all to whom the section refers, began to run
from and after the 25th day of July, 1862. Its
effect on multitudes in the rebel States must be
great.-Efee Press.

THE AMENDE.-We Inadvertently, last week,
coupled the Rutland Herald with the Bellows
Falls Argus, whereat the Herald is justly in
dignunt and very properly calls upon us to re-
tract or take the consequences We retroct,
apologize, and assure our distinguished con-
temporary that his conduct is correct, his honor
unimpeachable and that the language used
does in no sense whatever apply to HMM
short, that we had in mind another and al
together different fellow yclept the Rutland
Courier. If this is not satisfactory why, we
can only accord the satisfaction one gentleman
expects Of another. AS the challenged party
we shall claim the right to fix upon time place
and weapons. We will name Rutland about

party to leave the ground so long as a charge

TO express any opinion as TO the measure OF

Those who "run Of a notion" that recruiting
proceeds slowly in Vermont should bear in
mind that it is not yet three weeks since re-
cruiing papers were issued that it is the
busiest season in all the year; and that two
regiments are recruiting at the same time.
Since the recruiting commenced for the 10th
and l lth regiments enough men have already
volunteered to form one regiment, and the re-
tmns average fifty men per day. If this is not
"doing as well as could be expected" those who
are dissatisfied must be laboring over Great

EDITOR PHOENIX The Sth Regiment is
still at its station; our wounded officers and
men are doing remarkably well, our sick list is
small, and the sanitary condition of the COM
mand is, considering the place and season very
high. We are passing through a trying ordeal,
compared with which al active campaign were
relief. We are stationary, monotonously
guarding an unattached position, without ex-
citement or the sight or sound of foe. En-
cepting the skirmish, a month since, thirty
miles away, there has been no war, and we are
learning, as the hot season slowly passes over
us, that hardest of all lessons, to "labor and 10
wait" The danger is of becoming dispirited
and disheartened under the combined power of
the sultry climate and the depressing crcum-
stances.
The best help for this must come from the

in us, all warm from your own hearts, that they

CHEERING-The appointment OF Gen. Hal
leck as General-in- Chief of our armies is ind;-
cative of new vigor in the prosecution of the
war. Equally satisfactory are the orders for
our generals in the rebel States to subsist their
armies on the enemy just as far as possible.
The one order assures US that there will here
after be unity of counsel and concert of action
between our several commanders, and that the
whole will he presided over by man thorough
ly versed in military affairs; from the other we
are led to believe that our brave soldiers will
no longer be compelled to guard and protect
the property of rebels while that of Union men
is wasted away. The country will accept these
orders as indications that the war is to be pros
ecuted with new vigor, and that leading OBJ
ject will be to hurt the rebels. Let us thank
God and take courage.

passed at the extra session of Congress in July
