The ProoIamation in washinEton.


The Washington correspondent Of the
Esw York Times writes as follows:
aThe fact that the Presidents Emanci-
patton Proclamation has caused less ex-
citement here than was anticipated, may
be regarded as an evidence that all other
questions have become trifing beside the
great question Of saving the Government.
The irresistible logic of events must long
since have convinced all sensible prO-sla-
very men that the rebellion derives its Vi
tality mainly from their favorite institu-
ton; and such as are more loyal than
pro-slavery, have gradually brought them
selves to acquiesce in the growing neces-
sity of its extinction. Hence, where 10y
oonquers prejudice, and the devotee Of sla-
very lays his system on the altar for sac
ri6oe.
So marches on the restless cause of hu-
man progress Cupidity, passion, ambi-
ton, conservatism, impede but fail to ar
rest its movement. The attempt to per-
petuate slavery in q Christian nation and
enlightened age, has been made under cir
oumstances as formidable as the act is
startling; the result has been civil war
such as no Christian nation ever before
experienced, in which thousands ofmilions
Of treasure and hundreds Of thousands Of
lives are required in expiatiOn of the enor-
nous crime; and the end now draws upon
rs In tardy recognition Of the great
principle which alone can indicate our
salvation in showing us the cause Of our
calamity. Between the upper milestone
of rehelIion and tho 1ovyar gtona of TTnion
ism, slavery is being ground TO powder"

NEW YORK, Sept 27.
Rumor from Washington says the Presi-
dent contemplates issuing a proclamation
making Florida a cotton plantation, in7it-
ing lsboTers, black and white, to settle
there for that purpose, who viii have every
protection from the army and navy. The
State constitution will be set aside Temporal
rily, and Florida will be reduced to a terri
torial condition. This movement is said to
be preliminary to a policy to be adopted
hereafter with other Southern States.
Reports from Apalachicola say two rebel
iron-clad gunboats are ready for sea under
cOmmand'o of Catesby Jones, who say he can
sink every gunbOat on the Gulf Coast.
The Tribune has a rumor in a Washing
ton dispatch that Seward is about to resign
the portfolio of the Secretary of State TO
Edward Everett.
The dispatch adds that the rumor grows
out of the fact that Everett is in Washing
ton as the Presidents invitation, on busi-
ness related to our foreign relations in re-
gard to which his views are understood to
differ somewhat from Stewards.
The assertion that Colonel Ford received
written orders from Colonel Miles to evacu-
ate Maryland Heights, cannot be substan-
tiated by production of the orders Ford
says he lost them.
A guerrilla band of thirty were arrested

The Times has news from Winchester to
Wednesday. The main body of the rebel

acknowledged to have been terrible. Pry-

FROM PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADEL PHIA Sept. 2I.-2 A. N.
The Washington Star, of Friday after
noon, contains the following items:
Mcclellan still had his headquarters
near Sharpsburg yesterday when Sumner
occupied Bolivar Heights. General Will
isms late Banks corps, of Maryland
Heights, and Burnside's artillery forded
the river at Harper's Ferry. The new
pontoon bridge was doubtless finished last
night, and we believe Burnside's infantry
crossed upon it this forenoon. Much of the
rest Of McClellan's army was yesterday in
the immediate vicinity Of Williamsport
Our pickets occupy counties in Virginia
three miles out from Harper Ferry, where
they met those of the rebels. The latter
are believed to have been but in inconsid-
cradle force. There we're picket guards
near that point, and they are supposed to
be in force principally at Winchester.
1t is evident to us that there will be a
movement on McClellsn's part go soon as
his army is properly supplied by the Quar-
termaster's Department, SC.
Our troops are in the best possible spir-
its and eager again to get at the rebels
Another week Of such nights as they have
experienced there doubtless last night, will
compel them either to attack or move south.
In view Of the fact that numerous Ger
mans are complaining of recent transfers
Of Sigers troops from his command, we
hear that his force is now doubtless being
increased very heavily, and we shall not be
surprised in a short time to find it 10000
or 10000 stronger, under current orders
for its increase.

railroad.
Blackwater bridge having been reached,
no enemy was found. Contrabands report

Petersburg, and great movement of rebel
troops was reported between Richmond and
Petersburg.
It is thought probable that this Federal
expedition will push on TO Newmarket un-
less reinforced, but several forage expedi-
tions have been sent out, and great quanti-
ties Of wheat and corn have been captured
A large number of negroes have also been
brought into our lines by our pickets.

NAMES QUOTA FULL.

PORTLAND, Sept. y.
It appears from authentic official state
ments that Maine has filed her quotas un-
der both calls for 100000 men. Her quo
ia under the first was 1000, and all the
men have been in the field for four weeks
past under the last call for drafted men.
Maine has $500 men ready, all raised
by volunteering, and they have all been in
camp at Portland, Augusta and Bangor
since tive fifteenth instant. They are all
ready to move the moment they are uni
formed and equipped. Prior to these con-
tributions, Maine has sent over 1O,00Omen,
and including the 1000 seamen she has
given the navy, she has raised 10000 men
for the Union.
The total population of Maine is 628, 900.
She claims the proud pre-eminence Of be-
ing the banner state in raising volunteers.
She sends no drafted to the war.

ade, crossed the river at Reynolds's Ford,
below ShepardstOwn, and brought over 400
rifles, mostly marked =" London, 1862, and
one fine twelye-pounder rihed brass piece
of English manufacture. The affair was
accomplished rapidly and with entire sue
cess.
1t appears to be well ascertained that
the bulk Of the rebel army still remains
along the other bank of the Potomac. All
our reconnoisances find them in strong
force, and the smoke Of their camp fires
can be seen opposite all their fords. As it
is a part of rebel tactics to show the most
activity where they have the least force,
these manifestations are not altogether to
be trusted. 1t must be difficult to feed an
army as large as that Of the rebels at
point so far from railroad communication,
and it is probable that large part of their
force has fallen as far back as Winchester.
800 or 400 wounded prisoners were yes
terday paroled and sent across the river
under flag of truce, which was also used
to agree to a suspension Of picket firing,
and the pickets of both armies walk along
opposite banks of the river without moles-

FRo1I HARPER,s FERRY.


The Armies Still Pacing each other. Lee'l
PIans--Ths Attempt TO Take Martins.
burg--The Opportunity 90 Crush the
Rebel Army Gone.
Correspondence New York Times.
HARPEn's FFRET, Wednesday, Sept. 2i, 1859.
The two armies lie fronting each other
on either side the Potomac, on line strech-
ing from Williamsport to Harper's Ferry,
neither Mcclellan nor Lee wishing or dar-
ing to make anything like an offensive
movement on q large scale. Instead of
pursuing its retreat toward Richmond, as
seems to have been expected, the Rebel
army halted in position of strength, not
many miles from the river bank, and wait
ed the approach Of the Union forces. In
stead Of crossing She Potomac in pursuit,
Mcclellan has warily posted his troops at
Willismsport, at Sharpburg, and at Harp
er' s Ferry, in position, which, a glance at
the map will show, look toward Winches-
ter by converging lines. Nevertheless, it
is understood that Mcclellan viii not open
q Virginia campaign from either Of his
three points Of occupation.
Lee, with his usual adroitness, has left
to Mcclellan only the choice Of inaction or
Of attack with their positions reversed.
If he pursue the Rebels, he must fight as
they fought last Wednesday, with the Po-
tomac in hisresr. If he does not pursue,
the Rebels are still close to Maryland bor-
ders, still threatening invasion, retaining
the offensive, and pursuing the policy i'm
posed on them from Richmond. In the
rear Of the Rebel army is the Shenandoah
Valley, their amplest depot Of supplies, and
their readiest line Of retreat, Unless they
are again to abandon Northern and East
ern Virginia, they are in the most central
strategic position; for they not only hold
everything east of the Alleghanies, but
they threaten, and if unmolested, will GER
tainIy enter Western Virginia
When Fitz John Porter corps attempted
the Shepherdstown Ford last week, and
were driven back, that commander had
been ordered by Mcclellan to move his
corps to Martinsburg, and made the at
tempt in pursuance Of that order. In the
light of the facts above stated tits difficult
to see what value or security Martinsburg
could have.
1t only remains then to suppose that
with the expulsion of the Rebels from Ma
ryland the campaign Of Mcclellan is at
dH buu " uStlcI OuGublh6 uluhGLuC Clln dlG
hereafter made must be, on this theory,
from different base, and by different
line. Yet it is impossible not to see that
by way Of Thoroughfare and Manassas
Gaps, route to the Rebel rear is still open
to another force. The once offered provi-
Dental, manifest opportunity to annihi-
late the Rebel army at blow has been
suffered to pass. When and how the next
shall arrive may even yet be proftably
considered.

FROM MISSOURI

SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 26.
The portion of the rebel army under
Hindman and Rains are now at CRANKY
Mines, Newton county, near the Arkansas
State line. General Schofeld is preparing
to march against them, as his army is in
excellent condition, and is composed Of the
best troops in the State.
There is every reason to believe he will
be successful if they await an attack. If
they retreat, they will be driven out Of
the State, and positions probably occupied
by our troops that will prevent another
inroad
The latest advices from the rebel army
state that it took most motley crowd of
mariners, some well armed, but the most
bearing such weapons as could be gather
ed through Arkansas. Their number is
bout 1000.
General Schofeld, at his own request,
has been relieved from the district com
mand, and is now commanding the arr !,
Of Missouri in the field.
