To TIE PoINT.-Gov. Shorter, of Alabama,
has issued sharp proclamation the subject of
planting cotton at this juncture. He concludes
by ''giving notice" as follows: q | shall urge upon
the next session of the General Assembly the
duty and sound policy of taxing all cotton beyond
what may be needed for home consumption and
the supply of seed for another year to the full ex-
tent of its value; and / think it every way prcba-
bic that persons who will persist in planting the
usual crop of cotton or more than one acre to the
hand, will not be allowed to enjoy the fruits of
such selfish and unpatrotc course"

YANKEES DRowNED.-We have been inforined
says The Lynchburg VirGinian that two cargoes
OF Yankees were drowned in the Shenandoah
river last week They Il portion Of Banks
division batch of from eighty to hundred
were attempting to Oh a raft, when they were
swept away oy the tide, and all of them went
down to feed the Ash. Another lot Of about
thirty, as our information runs, attempted the same
thing about live miles below she point where they
made their first fatal experiment. and they shared
the fate OF their companions. We have not heard
what their object was, whether they were a
marauding party, or the advance of the army,
designed to be thrown upon the opposite bank of
the river with view of cooperating in an effort
to bridge the stream.

The War News.

The events of the past week have teen OF
the mcst exciting and stirring character
Almost a continuous battle has been going on
since the invasion of Maryland, by the Rebel
Generals, Lee, and Jackson, until Friday
last; the result of which has been such, that
now, we are warranted in announcing that
they have been driven from that state, by
the brave Mcclellan and his gallant army
Battles in magnitude, but little inferior to
that at Waterloo, have been fought at Mid
dletown, Burkittsville, Sharpsburg, and An
tietam in all of which, the most determined
valor was exhibited on both sides the ene-
my in each, however, were driven from tho
field with immense loss. The loss on our
side, in these several engagements, has been
variously estimated, at from ten to twenty
thousand, in killed and wounded. In the alb
sence of any official report, and with the con-
fused, and often contradictory accounts, it is
impossible to give anything like a connected
narrative, of these important battles. Gen.
Mansfield is among the killed. Generals Sedg-
wick, Hartsuf Richardson, and numerous
others were wounded.
Maryland Heights, which commanded Har-
pers Ferry, fel into the hands of the Rebels,
who beseiged it so closely as to oblige Col.
Miles the commandant at that point, to sur
render it, with 5000 troops, and large num-
Der Of cannon small arms, ammunition, and ar
my stores, in large quantities, fell into the
hands of the captors. The Heights are now
occupied by the Union forces.
The news by the last nights mail, indicat-
ed, that Louisville, KY, was beseiged by the
Rebel Gen. Bragg, and was in great danger
of being taken. Bragg had summoned Gen.
Nelson, who was in command of the city, 70
surrender, which Gen. Nelson refused to do,
and ordered the women and children to be
ready to leave the city at an hours notice,
and is preparing to defend the city at all .laz-
ards. Thousands of the citizens are crossing
the Ohio into Indiana.
No official list of the casualties in the late
battles have been published. The Re-
serve corps were actively engaged, and suffer
ed severely. All accoants give them great
praise for their unfinchng bravery. The
l32d, led by Col. r. A. Oakford, of Scrant ton,
though new regiment, was in the hottest
of the fight, and suffered severe losses; Col
Oakford being among the killed.

Lincoln's Proclamation.

President Lincoln has just issued procla-
ed States, on the lst January next, "shall be
then, thenceforth and forever free" This
course seems to have been forced upon the
President, by the insane rawlings of Greeley
and the fanatical crew Of NEGRO worshippers,
who followed his lead. Before the rebellion
broke out, we were told by these men, that
|" the south dare not leave the protection of
the General Government" That the begin
ming of hostilites, would be the signal for the
instant uprising of the entire negro popula-
ton there, and that their masters would be
murdered, houses burned, and that carnage
rapine, devastation, and blood, would mark
their paths. The South seeded. Greeley
and his tribe looked for the fulfllment of their
predictions the Tribune, gave vague rumors
oil the up ising of the slaves, until ashamed of
its lies, its sage editor dessted and finally
came to the conclusion that, in order to pro-
duce this desirable consumlnation, all that
was wanting, was proclamation. Fremont
issued his procla alton, emancipating all
slaves in Missouri. Hunter, to do the thing
on grander scale, proclaimed the freedom o.
the slaves in several states. Still the obst-
nate nggers, waited for higher authority
Honest old Abe" Greely thought, could do
the work with " dash Of his pen" Abe, in
his honesty, doubted, hesitated, and for a
while resisted. He was beseiged night AID
day, importuned, threatened, and bulled un-
til the honest old soul finally gave way, and
now the Presidential edict goes forth. Gree
ly and his horde will look long and anxious
ly for their back brethren to come to their
loving embrace. Abe will try to buy them,
but with an exhausted treasury, and masters
unwilling to sell, will get, nary nigger."-
Finally he will conclude that there was some
truth in what he said Of similar procIama-
ton by Gen. Hunter, to wit /" that all such
are simply null and void" and that to free q
nigger the first and most important STEP is
to catch him,

Letter From the Army.

The following communication from par
tcipant in the great struggle now going on,
reflects the sentiments of the entire army, SO
far as we have yet learned, in regard to Gen
eral Mcclellan, who our abolitionizcd Repub-
licans insist, lacks capacity as a General,
and as some make bold to affirm, is traitor
to his country.
The writer was, before entering the army,
Republican of the " straightest sect"-a
reader and admirer of the Tribune.
While that sheet, and Others of its school,
are bowling over the woes of the poor mig
ger, and insist that our armies shall strain
every thew, and pour out every drop of blood
for his liberation, oar soldiers, almost to a
man, declare that they are not fighting, nor
will not fight for any such object.
Mcclellan, who, in common with his en-
tire army, has been struggling for months,
with no other object in view than to main
tain the Constitution as it is, and restore the
Union as it was, has become the target for
the poisoned arrows of calumny and detrac-
tion in the hands of this traitor horde, be-
cause he will not lend himself and his army
to the wild schemes of negro emancipation
advocs ted by them. Ii is time that these
vile traitors, wherever they may be found
should be, to use their own language, +" spot
ted" Let every true man hold them I'D as
objects for the finger of scorn and derison tc
point at, through all time, and hand their
names down to posterity, inscribed on the
pages of infamy.
