d couJecIutet- OF improper 10 STATE II ac-
tpally known. 1t seems probable that :he
Beverly and Elkwater region is to be tenn
porarily abandoned with view to impor-
liant movements in other directions. Mil |
roy's brigade is said to be on It's way home
to Western Virginia. With this veteran
force, together with the new regiments and
other forces In this part of the State, we
are disposed to predict that it win not be
long till Western Virginia is once more
freed from the presence of Letcher's SOL
diery.
VIZ have published extracts from the
comments of number of newspapers in
parts of the country on the Presi-
dents proclamation. They give, no doubt
a pretty correct idea of the reception with
which it meets from the people. The Re-
publican papers, without an exception, SO
far as We have observed. approve the pro-
clamation. The papers which are opposed
to the Republicans may be divided into
three classes. Some, like the NeD York
Herald, seem to approve the proclamation,
at any rate do not oppose it. Some con-
slider it a 6rltun fulnen, dead letter, of
no avail except in so far as our triumphs
extend through the South, and accom-
plishing nothing more in any event
than the laws now in force could accom-
plish. They profess to care little about it,
except for the unpleasant feelings it may
awaken among their friends here. A third
class pronounce it unconstitutional, illegal,
impolitic, ruinous. These are for the most
part they who regard any measure ruinOus
which does not directly tend to build up,
or at least to preserve in all its power,
slavery.
The stock market scarcely felt the proc
lamation at the outset, and has been rapid
lyimproVing. 1t betrayed no sense of the
peril which the opponents of the procla-
nation tell US is hanging over MS. The
great majority of loyal men here constantly
looked forward to this contingency. While
some of them have been impatient because
the President did not act more quickly,
most of them have felt sincerely that the
time for such action should be chosen by
the President, and they were content to
leave the decision with him. They accept
his decision as wise and timely, and are
ready with new zeal to aid him in his great
work.
The Ohio state FRIr-Looa1 Prizes
taken at IL.
In the last Ohio Farmer we notice an iu-
teresting account of the recent State Fair,
held at Cleveland on the 18th, 18th, 18th,
nth and 18th of this month. 1t is consid-
cred, under all the circumstances, the
greatest success of any State fair ever held
in Ohio. The pecuniary yield was all that
the..mOst sapguiue hoped for, and hand
some profit over and above all expense was
netted to the treasury. Z.
In the extended notice concerning horses
exhibited, at the fair, we find that the Up
degraf family, over the river opposite us,
as usual, came IN for a large share of hon.
ore and emolumentsl Under the classi6-
cation of "horses of all stockn we find the
following notice:

ofthis horse, aud his living picture, exhib-
tied by the same gentleman, took the LIST
