A PROCLAMATION.

The ARMY Of the Confederate States has
come among you to cxpcl tho enemy. to res
cue tho petplc from the lespotism of the
counterfeit State Government imposed on
you by NoHhern bayoncts, and to restore
the country once moro to it's natural ALE
glance to the State. We fight for peace and
tho possession Of Our own territory. We
10 not intend to punish those who remain
at homo rs quiet citizens, in obedience to
the laws OF tho land. and to all such c}em-
ency and amnesty are declared; but those
who persist in sdhering to the cause Of the
public e.cny, and the pretended State Gov
eminent he has erected at Wheeling. will be
dealt with as their obstinate treachery de-
serves.
When the liberal policy Of the Confedo-
rate Government shall be introduced and
made known to the people, who have so
long experienced The wanton misrule Of the
invader. the Commanding General expects
the people heartily to sustain it, not only as
a duty, but % deliverance from their task.

recognizes In the cordial welcome which the
people everywhere give to the army, hap
py indication Of their attachment to their
true and lawful government.
Until the proper authorities shall order
otherwise. and in the absence of municipal
law and Its customary ministers. martial
law will be administered by the Army and
the Provost Marshals. Private rights and
property will be respected. violence will be
repressed and order promoted, and all the
nrivato property used Ly tho Army viii be
paid for.
The Commanding General appeals to all
good citizens to aid him in those objects,
and to all ablo.bodied men to join his army
to defend the sanctitiss Of religion and vir-
tue, home. territory, honor and law, which
are invaded and violated by an 1nscrupu-
ious ensmy, whom an indignant and united
people are now about to chastise on his own
soil.
The Government expects an immediate
and enthusiastic response to this call

from the enemy By soldiers. many of whom
are from distant parts Of the State and the
Confederncy; and you will prove unworthy

The General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church, holding Its annual session in the city
,, ct Cincinnati, Ohio, beg leave most respect
tn11y to express in more personal manner
the sentiments Of our church In reference to

Of your Inauguration, the thousands Of
our membership hare followed you with
unceasing prayer, beseeching the Throne
Of Heaven on your behalf In ou1

petitions, and when we look at the history Of
your administration hitherto, and ut the won
dertul way in which this people hns been led,
under four guidance, we gfoEify God on your
behalf. We give praise, not to man, but to
lenging the admiration of even our enemies,

OF your acts, exhibited at critical junctu7es,

On the first Of the present month, when
the steamers from below entered our lake for
the first time in this season, We had ready for
shipment. Of copper produced during the
past winter,-at the sme1tnS works, ingot
copper 1,597,070 pounds. On the Quincy
dock, there we're SIS tons and 257 pounds Of
cleaned mineral, which VIC think 1t safe to es-
innate at 81 per cent Of fine copper. The sun
of these quantities make an aggregate in tons
and decimals Of refined copper,
At she Portage Lake Smelling Works.. 1881 SIS

The value Of this metal at q cents per
pound, which may be set down as the ruling
price during this season, Is 3 little more than
$585, 600
We may here remark that this is really the
product Of less than five months Of the 5ear,
IS considerable part Of that which was
raised in November last was shipped last fill
and the stamp mills stopped several weeks
for repairs during the winter. It should also
be remembered that the winter Is the season
devoted to opening ground III the mines, On
account of the superior ventilation which the
cold atmosphere Ensures -ard that stopping
down the vein IS made altogether subordinate
to this while the cold weather lasts. All the
copper produced in this district, except that
Of the Quincy mine, WIS snelted at the Por-
