Loss of the Acacia.

The steamer Acacia, last Thursday
morning, was sunk near Walmer Bend,
taking down with her forty persons,
seven of whom were ladies. She had
on board $1,000 in gold, besides freight
valued at $4,000. Many of her pas
sengers jumped overheard IN the confu-
sion and were drowned. Among them
were two of the women mentioned.
The steamers Minnehaha, Conway and
w. III. Brown took up the struggling
persons. The news boy of the Union
appeal saved himself by getting upon
a raft and floating to Helena. The
cabin of the Acacia, wrong side up,
passed that place yesterday. No effort
was made to reach it. The list of the
lost and saved is not yet complete.
Two ladies were known to have been
on the Acacia. They arrived at the
Washone house Cairo by St. Louis
boat only two hours before starting fol
Helena. Their names were registered
as Mrs. Owens and Mrs. Richardson
They were in company with gentle
man registering himself as from Col
cenda, Ill. Another of the lady pas
sengers was Mrs. Schuman, wife o
Capt. Schuman. Another was wife o
a colored man, name not known.

The President Proposes to Issue a Proc
lamatiOn of Emancipation.
NEW YORK. August

New YORK, August %.
A Washington special to the New
York Tribune says:
"In Justice to all parties, it seem,
proper to state the following, which We
learn from SO many sources that it can
no longer be considerd State secret.
s'Two or three weeks ago, the Pres,
ident laid before his Cabinet procla-
nation of emancipation, abolishing
slavery on the first of next December,
if the rebellion should not be crushed,
and asked the opinion of his Ministers
touching the propriety of issuing it.
All but two-Secretary Smith, we be-
LEV, being absent-approved. Secre-
tary Seward and Postmaster Blair,
however, opposed it with all their
might, and the result was it did not
appear. 1t is understood the subject
came up at more than one Cabinet
meeting, but Seward and Blair re-
manned resolute minority"
The w ashington special tothe WorId
says: "It is openly asserted by the
emancipa,ionisls that the long politi
cal struggle is drawing to a close, and
that the President, Overborne by the
pressure brought upon him, will Issue q
decree giving freedom to all slaves
and this before the 18th of September

We have our delusiOns in war as
well as in peace. When Gen. Nc
Clellan changed his base from the
Chickahominy to the James River,
although at great expense of life, and
suffering, we all exclaimed "Well
done that is a good thing. The army
is safe now, and Richmond can not
possibly escape capture" Now, Gen.
Mcclellan, without having struck a
blow at Harrison's Landing, or giving
any indication that blow could be
successfully struck from that point,
abandons it entirely, and raises the Pc
ninsula campaign, which was his own
special plan. We rejoice again!
"This is well, we say. The army is
safe, and Richmond is doomed now"
This is a complaisant view to take OF
the matter, but it must be that there is
a great mistake somewhere. Two i'm
portant movements of an exactly di
verse caracter, aiming at the same
end, can not be equally good. There
is heavy responsibility resting upon
some one for this Peninsula campaign
which after all its costly experiment
ing, is given mp.

Latest from ,;epera, Pope,. Army.

Latest from General POpe's Army.
The latest intelligence from Gen.
Pope's army is Of the highest interest.
Having reason to believe that the ene-
my was approaching in full force, 1t
has fallen back to a safe line to await
the junction of Gen. McCleIlan's army,
which we are also assured has been
accomplished. This is good begin
ming. The falling back signifies
nothing as Indicative of the future inten-
ton of our army. Let no timid soul
suppose that it intends to retreat with
in the Notifications in front of Wash
ington. The true solution of this
movement as now apparent, is, that
Gen. Pope will fight when he gets
ready, and not before. He will fight
on ground chosen by himself, and not
dictated by the enemy. So far he has
done all that could be asked of him.
With but little show or preparation, he
has kept so menacing position that
the whole rebel army has been called
out from Richmond to meet him, and
the rebel chiefs have consequently been
compelled to let Gen. McClellan's
army slip through their fingers
When We consider how certain they
were few weeks since of compelling
this army to capitulate, and that they
would shortly he battering down North
ern cities, this running away from the
was to- -beleaguerd army, to prevent
Pope from getting into Richmond by
way of Fredricksburgh, is almost ride
ulous. So much for active generalship
They probably did not have any i'm
mediate apprehension of danger t.
Richmond, butthe man who planned thu
decent upon the Virginia Central rail
road, was not a man to be trusted t.
the length of his rope. There was nj
running down the Shenandoah Vale,
for Stonewall Jackson. The determine.
activity on our side-the earnestnes
of late infused into military operations
had convinced the enemy that he mus
concentrate all his force, and he ha
doubtless done so, and now that Gen
McClellan's army has come up wit
that of Gen. Pope, we may look 70
the speedy Occurance of the most i'm
portant battles of the war-battle
which should to a great extent prov
decisive. Our great point of DANCE
is passed. When Gen. Burnside LEI
the Peninsula some days ago with con
siderable portion of Gen. Mcclellan
army, our critical period was entere,
upon. 1t was much enhanced and Gu
minated when the remainder of Gen
McClellan's army was Withdrawn fror
the Peninsula. But now our force
are massed. The enemy has lost hi
golden opportunity and we have pu
ourselves on a better footing in ever
respect, and if not at present amply pre-
pared for forward movement, certain
ly out of danger.-Det. Ado. Dc Ir;l

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 25.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IS.
The Ecening Bulletin, has informa-
ton FROM a gentleman who leftth Rap
pahannock yesterday morning, that our
troops have frequent skirmishes with
the rebels while falling back from the
Rapidan. The losses on either side are
not serious. Pope holds the railroad
bridges, as well as two commanding
positions OH the opposite side, which
the rebels assaulted several times.
Our troops are distributed along the
river, and have resisted all assaults.
They will be able TO maintain their 30
silion until junction with the other
army corps enables them to assume the
offensive.
The rebels are endeavoring to turn
our right wing and get in our rear by
way OF Warrenton.
New YORK, August 25.
The Rappahannock correspondent Of
a Philadelphia paper states that OH the
morning of the 2lst, the rebels opened
a battery on our centre and continued
vigorously to throw shot and shell for
several hours. A little higher up i,
was discovered that the enemy had du
ring the night erected bridge over the
river. AT this point most brilliant
and successful affair is reported to have
occurred.
In the vicinity of this bridge wa.
one of Sigcl's batteries on which The
rebels opened brisk fire, to which fol
a time our battery replied with spirit
In little while our FIRE slackened
and then ceased, having been appar

rebel regiments rushed across the
bridge. Sigel offered no resistance
Everything seemed favorable but tn,
scene soon changed. No sooner hat
they crossed than Sigel opened his bat
terry OH the bridge. The fourth sho

and at the same time deadly fire o

A few shots from our battery,
