The President,s Proclamation In
VtYgfnfa.

The Wheeling (Virginis) Intelligencer,
thus describes the feeling with which the
Proclamation is regarded in Western Vir-
ginia
When the Proclamation (emancipating
the slaves of rebels after next january
came out. we CHANGED to be in part of
the country where we happened to know
something ofthe political leanings of the
prominent men, and were little curious
to witness the effect Not single man
known to us as being unequiyoeally loyal
did We hear express his disapproval.-
Some Union men with provisos were not
a little troubled for fear somebody would
be exasperated. They did not care much
on their own account, but we're alarmed
for the effect on other people they fear
ed the Union people of Kentucky would
be driven by it into the Southern Confed-
eracy, or that the rebels would be anger
ed beyond hope of reconciliation. A few
who may have been sincerely loyal, but
whose loyalty is of very timid sort, were
fearful that il would create dissensions al
the North, and tend to unite the rebels
at the South. One old curmudgeon, at.
ter careful perusal, laid down the paper,
and gave it as his deliberate opinion that
the measure was demonstrations" -
But the loyal men, known to us as such,
who bad no ifs to trouble them, approved
it, and said it served the rebels just right.
They had brought it on themselves, and
had nobody else to blame.

serving his country for sixteen months,
and being badly wounded in fight with
guerrillas, returned to this city to recruit
his health. Here is his home and has
been for Elk years; his family are here,
and his furniture has remained in his

he went TO the polls yesterday he was
challenged by Mahohyite, and had to
