Another Proclamation Expected.
New YoBK, Sept 27.-Rumors from
Washington say the President contem-
plates issuing a proclamation making Flor
ida a cotton plantation, inviting la66rers,
black and white, to settle there for that
purpose, who shall have ample protection
from the army aud navy. The State Con-
stitution is TO be set aside Temporarily,
and Florida reduced to territorial condition.
The movement is said tn be prelimin airy
to policy to be adopted hereafter with
other Southern States.
The Tribune has dispatch that Seward
is about to resign the portfolio of the State
department to EiWarh Everett The dis
patch adds the rumor grows out OF the fact
that Mr.. Everett is in Washington at the
Presidents Invitation, on business relating
to our foreign relations, in regard TO which
his views are understood 70 differ some
what from Seward.
The assertion that Col. Ford received
written orders from Col Miles TO evaeuate
Maryland Heights, cannot he sustained by
the production Of the orders. Ford says
he Lust them.

4WHuISA4S 4EoNA -4A9IAcl1AHo army
PA1EAbELPArA, Sept zT.-Ths Washthg-
ton Star, OF Friday afternoon contains The
following items;
Mcclellan still had his headquarters near
Shsrpsburg yesterday, when Sumner oeeu-
pied Bolivar Heights aud Burnside's aFtil-
lery forded the river at HaTper's Perry.
The new poutoOn bridge was doubtless
flushed last night, and we believe Burn-
side's infantry CROSSED upon Il this fore
noon. Much Of the rest of MeClellan's
army was yesterday in the immediate
vicinity Of Williamsport. Our piekels CO.
cupy the country in Virginia three miles
oat from HArper's Ferry, where they met
those Of the enemy. The latter believed
20 be Ia considerable force. There were
picket guards near that point, aud they are
Supposed TO be ia force principally at
Winchester.
Il is evident to as that there will be a
movement on MeCIellau's part as soon as
his army are properly supplied BY Quar-
termasteFs' department, Sc Our troops
are in the best possible spirits, aud eager
again 70 get at the rebels. Another week
OF such nights as they experienced ihere
doubtless last night, will compel them Ell
Their to attack or move S nth.
In view of the fact that numerous Ger.
mans are complaining Of recent transfers Of
Sigers troops from bis command, We hear
that his force is doubtless now being In
creased very heavily, aud we shall not be
surprised in short time to 6nd It 10, 600
or loco stronger.
The rebels are still engaged Ia rebuilding
the railroad bridge over the RaPPabanuOcE,
ADD occupy Warreuton with a single Re-
Riment. THIS is the nearest point to Wash
ingtOu at which they have force Of that
size.

Then from his mansion ia the sun
She called her eagle-bearer down.
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen land.

4 RICH INCIDENT.

"Personne," writing I'm the woods
before Richmond" on the 10Th of July,
to the Charleston Courier, relates the
following:
Among the many incidents related OF
the fight is one concerning a private in
Atkins Regiment. 1t appears that while
watching the Yankees, no doubt with
some anxiety, his. company passed him,
and he found himself alone in the yicin-
ity of the Williamsburg road, down
which The Vermont regiment had passed.
Feeling his way through the woods, he
came upon man standing behind tree,
whom he took 10 be a friend. He
thought that he too would get behind the
same tree and take shot at the Yankees
in the road. Quite carelessly. and with
not the remotest suspicion who was bis
companion. he inquired hat regi-
ment do you belong to 90 Il belong to
the Fifth Vermeount," was the natal re-
ply. The Palmetto. says of himself that
at this announcement bis eyes stuck out
like Holsters and he began to feel as
if thousand ants were creeping down
the small of his back The Vermonter
was over six feet tall. and had bayonet;
while he was but FIVE feet six, without
bayonet. He reasoned, mentally. that
if he ran suddenly the Yankee would
shoot. and yet be felt prodigiously I'M
willing to remain where he was. What
to do he did not know. Directly the
"blue coat" asked bin, ''What regiment
dew you blong'd tew 2" WALL" re-
piled the Confederate, Catching at the
thought that he would pretend to be
Yankee also) "Wall, l b'Iong to
Massachusetts regiment and I've got lost.
But I'm goin down here blind this tree
to get shot at the rebels and when | see
one I'm goin to give him fits like all tar
nation"
With this effort our shrewd Confed-
crate turned upon his heel. and walked
very slow for a few rods, but in less than
sixty seconds. he was tearing through
the woods like lunatic. lie brought
up, after travelling he didn't know where,
in the arms of the Twenty Missis-
sippi Regiment, according to his own
confession. the worst frightened man on
the ground that day.

hereafter be transferred from the Navy
Department TO the Patent Office Our
iron plated vessels seem 10 be reaching
the extreme perfection of impenetrable
armor, and the Monitor had taught its
lesson to the world, when Mr.. Duffy,
at New York. claims to have perfected
an inventian which will Immediately sink
any iron sheathed vessel. Experiments
were made at Jersey City last week with
bis newt y projected gun. which is intend
ed TO be placed in the prov of a ram, at
any depth, from one to twenty feet un-
der water. on this occasion a small boat
ten feet in length, of capacity to carry
two or three men, was provided with
gun that projected from the bow
about two feet below the surface. By
means of a.spring it was discharged by
conclusion with a target. the boat rowing
at very moderate speed. This target
was composed of two three-inch planks
with space between them representing
the ordinary thickness Of vessels sides.
The ball perforated both and went
through the side OF an old barge against
which the target was suspended Mr..
Duffy claims that the Parrot or any other
large bore gun can be discharged in the
same manner. The muzzle projects
through packing, and when it is drawn
in to be reloaded a valve falls to prevent
the admission of water. From these ex~
periments, which were decided success,
It Is evident that we have the germ of q.
process by which vessels can be attacked
below the water-line, and beneath their
iron plating. This must lead to new
style of submarine warfare, and, should
the theory of Mr.. Duffy prove correct.
no vessel that floats can stand the attack
of small submerged ram. carrying a
single gun of large caibre, which would
make hole in ships hull large enough
to admit mans body. and would send
her to the bottom in ten minutes.

and the bones OF its dead soldiers would
make Golgotba monument higher than
that of Bunker Hill. 1t says:
In return for this immense outlay of
blood and treasure. what have we
gained Are the rebels subdued ? On
the contrary. they seem stronger than
ever. Is the rebellion at its last gasp :?
1t has to-day more soldiers in the field
than the Union. Have we succeeded in
revlving the Union feeling in the South
Why, every day the two sections drift
farther and farther apart every day we
become more and more ignorant of the
sentiments of the Southern people; every
day that this accursed rebellion is per-
mltted to continue. the number of South
ern Union men becomes less as the old
Union seems more powerless and remote,
and the new Coniederacy more power
full and successful. What, sthen, have
we gained In spite of our brilliant
victories, our naval superiorities, our nu-
merous but isolated triumphs. we have
practically and 10 results gained very
little and lost very much.
What, then. shall we do next? Shall
we give up the war, disband our army
and navy, and let the rebels go in peace?
Never 1t is too late to think Of such
a course. The recognition of the South
ern Confederacy by our own Govern
ment is no longer among the contingen-
ces of this war. The rebels may defeat
our armies and capture our Capital
these are possiblllties-but the rebels
can never conquer their independence.
We have to decide now not whether the
rebels can be subJued. but whether the
country is to be saved. The question is
no longer the putting down of the re
bellion. but the salvation of the nation
We are in cd de sac, from which our
only escape is the suppression of the
rebellion by force.
In another article it says that "this
summers campaign must end this rebel
lion or this may be a very long and
eventual war" 1t adds:
We call upon the Government to sup
ply. at once, from our troops in the field
elsewhere, an overwhelming army to
Mcclellan anc Pope in Virginia. and up
on our loyal States to push forward their
volunteers or militia. Ii within two or
three weeks We can reinforce our armies
in Virginia to the extent of a hundred
thousand men, it may save US a vast
amount of human life and a thousand
millions of dollars. which may otherwise
be required for the suppression of this
rebellion. Now is the time for action,
if we would save the Union. We can.
Let action, then, be the word.
