Ham WINTER N OEEGoS.-Oregon papers
of the 22d of February contain melancholy
accounts Of The suiferinss of man and beast in
that State from the unusual severity Of the
winter. We give a synopsis:
Great distress prevailed at Walla Walla on
account of the severity Of the weather A
number Of stores and saloons were closed. the
proprietors being unable to procure wood to
warm them. Wood was selling at $50 per
cord, -four at $34 per barrel, aud board was
SIS per week. For four weeks the mercury
ranged from freezing point to % degrees below
zero. One half the stock that was driven from
the Wallemet valley last season had pershcd.
4 numbe. of persons bad been frozen to death.
At the Warm Springs Reservations out of 300
head of cattle belonging to the Government,
one-half had died. The Indians had lost all
their horses. All along the road between the
Dallas and Wala WaIIa provisions had been
exhausted, except beef. Seven men lost their
lives between these places by the severity of
the weather. In the vicinity of Puget Sound
stock had suffered severely. In Southern
Oregon large numbers of horses and cattle
have died.

Some excitemo Mt was produced few days

Some excitemc mt was produced a few days
ago by proclamation issued by Gen. Hunter,
commanding TIE Department eff the South,
ann 1uncing the emancipation of all slaves in
the States Of South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida--npmbering probably one million.
1t was generally supposed that, like the proc
lamations Of our other commanders, issued at
various times during the present war, this one
by Gen. H. was his own individual act and had
not the sanction Of the authorities at Wash
ington-and the proclamation by the Presi-
dent, which we publish today, revoking that
issued by Gen. Hunter, proves that such
was the case.
The President is determined not to permit
commanders to usurp functions properly per.
tanning only to himself as commander-in-chef
of the army. and the exercise of which he
reserves for future consideration and determi-
nation dependant upon the course Of events
lie clearly intimates in this proclamation, as
he has in previous documents, that the time
may GENE when military necessity will de-
mand on his part an exercise of authority that
he denied to Gen. Hunter-in other words,
that fit should clearly appear that the rebel
lion can only be quelled by the destruction of
slavery, the institution shall not be permitted
to standin the way-and accordingly be earn

lion Of the military strength of the people
and their adapiabiiiy 10 arms, not the least
remarkable results of our present condition.
We had mustered largce and he would add
better army than was ever brought into the
field before, and without compuIsion. III
Franco great armies were raised by conscrip-
tion; in England the press gang had been re-
stored to; and in Russia the knouf; bHt here were
100000 volunteers in arms, and 100000 more
ready to volunteer, with clear conception Of
the consequences involved, and the bravery, the
CALAMITY and hcorsm they displayed on the
field constantly reminded him of what the Dakc
of Wellington said, that whenever he got into
a Fcrapc his soldiers got him out. The world
never saw anything like it before
Another remarkable development was theabil
ity to sustain and carry on the war. With ex-
pense accruing ut the rate of perhaps len thou
sand million a year the credit Of the Govern
ment rather increases, aud its bonds are at a
premium. And when we add to This the con-
tributiOns from private resources-enough OF
themselves to carry on common war-the
personal service rendered, even in menial en-
ploymenls, and the active interest taken in it
by the ladies of our country, we have some IN
