The Proclamation Of the Prssidsn,

eeVOoNe80SSOAe SVUA0OAAUo
The Call observes: II the people Of the
rebel States do not sss fit to accept Of mercy
aud make their peace with the Government
within the next three months, the most deter
mined conservative in the land must stultify
himself aud 60 bodily over to the cause Of
treason or admit tho justice and propristy Of
the policy foreshadowed by the President
What would have been laughed At a. an idle
threat when the war broke out, and what
would 1t that time have been an oct Of doubt
full propriety, is now matter susceptible Of
prompt accomplishment. and policy dictated
by humanity and justified BY every consider
alton fof the welfare Of the nation. We shall
be much disappointed ii the warning does
not produce wholesome effect on the mis-.
guided people Of the South, who have all
along believed that zoe dare not proclaim such
a policy, but, If it does not, then We stand &C.
qaittsd before the eyes Of the world. when we
say, let slavery aud tho false Confederacy,
foundation and supsrsiructure. perish in q
common ruin. We have lavished patriot
blood, and wasted the wealth Of the land
long enough, in the endsavor to protect the
civil rights and property Of rebels in arms, we
hail with satisfaction the announcement that
the time for temporising with treason is near
ly over.
The Alto briefly remarks:
The President has taken the slavery bull
by the horns. nths proclamation published
to-day the doom Of the institution is fixed.
On the lst Of next January, the slaves in ell
States. or parts of States. in rebellion against
tho Government at that time. will bs declared
free. For those States not in rebellion, aud
for loyal individuals in States in rebellion.
the President will recommend to the next
Congress that compensation be provided. The
Government now stands fairly aud squarely
on the great question Of tho day. If our
armies are triumphant, slavery will be abol-
ished. .q. ess ,4
The Herald and Mirror still more briefly
says:
The people are ready for these measures.
Lot institutions which have been the nurser-
les OF political vice bs abolished.

sivsly practicsd. Those who are engaged in
thu pursuit grade their charges according to
the rank Of the deceased, varying from fifteen
to one hundred dollars. The body of private
soldier is embalmed for fifteen dollars, and
sent home in coffin for fifteen more. The
process is simply to make an incision in any
one Of the arteries and inject therein liquid
invented by DR.. Sucquet, Of Paris, which is
secret to the operators.
A body dying through sickness is thus pre-
pared in three hours; but when wounds have,
been received much longer time is required,
according to the quality aud nature Of the in.
iuries. A gunshot wound protracts embalm-
,nent to eight hours, and cases occur where
the process lasts for two days. An ordinary
mode of conducting this operation has been to
inject arsenic in the veins, as is done to pre-.
serve corpses for dissection; but this is only
temporary in it's effects, and, moreover, renders
u corpse poisonous. 1t thoroughly pcrvades
the surface of the skin, which il kissed by REL
tivcs creates illness, and often death. Touch.
ing corpse thus prepared, with a cut or abra.
ds1 finger, wou'd d engsnder serious sore aud
great pain. perhaps terminating fatally.

first through the nostrils, and the second BY
