TUE EFFECT OF Mr.. LNcoLN's Paoc.AMA-
rros IN NEw YoRx.--TLe proclamation of Mr.
Lincoln was attended with the most beneficial
effect In New York yesterday 1t lifted load
from many an anxious mind. General Hunter
was believed to be q conservative man, and lis
antecedens were all in that direction He is
sixty years OF age, and has q reputation for
steadincss. II was believed by thousands that
his proclamation derived its inspiration from
Washington, and was dictated, If not by the
President, at least by the Secretary OF War.
But the counter proclamation Of the Presiden,
removes those dpprehensions, and apparently
leaves General Hunter alone responsible for
the act. The effect throughout all circles is of
the mos. cheering character, and gives another
example Of the unainching c9n::ervatiyeness of
Mr.. Lincoln, while IL widens and deepcns II
possible, the impossible gulf between him and
the bafflsd revolutionary nigger-worshipping
rsdioais.

1t will be recOllec,ed that Gen. Fremont, in an
order issued to his army after the battle OF Cross
KEYS, commented very severely on the conduct
OF some of the soldiers during their march, aud
issued stringent orders for the punishment of all
such offenders in future. Blenker's Division,
which was sent To him as an army of soldiers,
has caused IA great deal of trouble in this and
other respects. With reference to the outrages
committed, the correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes from Winchester ms follows:
Gen. Blenker with his staff arrived here to-day,

S-crct Po,,,,caI societies.

The Journal. in an article OF Yesterdays issue.
with unexpected candor. admits the following
facts:
1. That secret political societies exist. but
that they are exclusively of Republican origin:
2 That the objects OF such associations are
the overthrow Of the Constitution as it is. and
the Union as il was, and a reorganiz ,tion of the
Government upon an abolition basis:
3. That although the purposes OF these organ
zations are d~isloyal. known to the editor of the
Journal to he such. vet there Is no fear of their
being disturbed as long as the Government is in
its present hands.
1. That the editor of the Journal il n member
OF this secret order. fully Initiated into all its
mysteries aud objects. and that he is doing all
that he can to extend it.
We hope the people of Indiana. soldiers and
civilians. who are doing all in their power to re
store the Union and the supremacy of the Con-
s%titution. will not forget the Vaccinations of the
leading Republican organ to defeat these benei-
cent purposes.
