'RAXTON BRAGG,
General commanding"
From the Columbia (Oho) Crisis.
The Presidents Proclamation Freeing
the Slaves

We have at last hit upon the lower round
Of our national existence. The abolition
fires which have burnt TO the very core of
the nations heart, have at last burst TO the
surface, and spread over the whole land
Sad is our fate and monstrous the depths to
which we are precipltated. The Ohio State
Journal says:
"The proclamation of President Lincoln,
which we publish this m orning in an Advance.
It is characteristic of the man, in caution and
firmness. With the people, it will doubt
less have a varied reception. Some will
welcome it as the sun rise of cur secoLd Re-
public; others will scorn it, and curse it as
they have every step of advance upon the
lomain of the slave power. 1t is the proc
damat ion Of the war; and will e!ectriiy the
pulse of the nation and OF the world"
The italic "aIUance" and ''the'' are those
of the Journal and we concede both. The
proclama alton is "an ADVANCE" aud though
not unexpected by US. many Of our promi-
| nent Democratic friends continued to insist
that such thing was impossi bic, and per-
| sisI ed in a course tina. will bring thousands
to the bed of morning.
That it is she Procla nation of the war;
the Journol admits, and had the journal also
told us that it was the whole and sole OBJ
ject of the war it could not have said it more
pointedly. That it will "eectrify the heart
of the na:ion,' we thoroughly agree with
the Journal, also, but such electricity as this
was never drawn from the Heavens. 1t is
not the electricity which franklin played
with, but it is not the less subtle, danger
Gus and destructive on that account. It
unites the South as one man, and throws its
destructive virus into the veins of the North
to inoculate every region, city, town and
hamlet.
1t strikes with one fell swoop "the Consti-
tuition as it is, and the Union as it was"
without reaching single slave not other
wise effected. A firebrand which burns only
your own dwelling. and then goes out. The
result of "a pressure" which only sinks the
fulcrum. Trnly, the clouds loom up dark
and threatening from the Northern horizon.

SIR.-I regret to be compelled again to
make another Notifying acknowledge ent
of apparent neglect, nam ely: The running

gunboat supposed to be Lavard's gunboat
Captain Bullock. You will perceive, how
ever from Cypt. Prebe'S report, herewith
enclose ed that there was no want of vigi-
lance.
They saw her in good time, but failed to
sink or capture her. Why Capt. Prebe did
not fire into her after she failed to stop or
answer his hail, 1 cannot imagine. The
COMM nder of the RACHEL Seaman says,
and believe they ali admit it. that there
never was a finer opportunity for stopping
vessel until she passed them; then. how
ever, when it was too late, they began fir

the Rachael Seaman last.
