The IEAR OF JUBILEE HAS CoME.-*
We rejoice most heartily that the axe is laid
to TIC root Of the tree. The proclamation
meets our views both in what it does and in
what it o1nits to do. lis limitations show that
President Lincoln means to preserve good
faith towards the loyal border slave st stes.
So lorg az they are loyal their slaves are safe !;
let them become rebeilious, and the terms Of
the proclamation will reach them like their

WHAT PAESOS BROWELOW THINKS.

Regarding Mr. Lincolu's proclamation will
say, That Ii he means to free the slaves Of
rebels in arms. and ray loyal men for them,
an for it, out and out. Enthusiastic ap-
plause.] think the proclamation well timed,
acd fortunate at this moment. II it had been
made month or Six weeks later, the rebels
would have made proposition themselves to
England to take their negroes and colonize
thtm, and thank God that Old Abe has ta-
ken the Starch Out Of them. lCheers.
We continue our extracts from the opinions
of the press upon the presidents emancipa-
ton proclamation:
, 1862-10-01

We send forth to-day the most important
paper ever published iu the Eadcpendent-the
most extraordinary document ever proceeding
from this government. It is d decree Of sub
s:antial emancipation, issued by the coa-
mandcr in chief Of the army ard navg Of tue
United S!ates OF Anlerica. Perhaps it is too
much to esy that 1t is 4 decree OF e1naucipa-
ton. 1t il rather asolemn notice served u!,on
rebelIious States that such decree will be
made upon the 1st Of January, 1853. It il
Ike bond for deed, and will in due tiule
compel the execution and delivery OF the
, 1862-10-01

Now the issue Is presented. Slavery Is to
be interfered with-unless the rebels ground
arms: and VIC invite the ''butteruuts" to toe
the mark. Make the Issue, and the civilized
world may look on while the greatest contest
the world ever SAW is to be decided-a contest
IN which the loyal men Of the Union must
b.ttle with the slavery propagandlsts of tbs
South, and the powers Of darknuss, under ths
cuise OF Democracy, in the North.

slonville had but two batteries with six guns
mounted, and six more ready for use. 1t was
decided on tho 10th that Gen. Stevens, with
1000 men, was TO make an attack at daybreak,
while Gen. Wright and Col. Williams with 3, 900
men, were to support him. Somehow they were
delayed, and as our troops marched over accord
ing to the plan of the field, they were met BY a
mur1erOuS fire of grape and canister; five regi.
mtnts were relieved in front much cut up. The
Sth Michigan, 79th New York, and 2Sth MaSSa.
chusettS broke aud scattered. The 4Gth New
York did little better. The first two drove the
gunners from their guns and some OF them even
penetrated the works, but tho other regime nts
falling to support them, they had to retire after
holding the battery 90 minutes. In the mean
while, Col. Williams, in coming To their suppOr;,
separated from the fort by II marsh, was exposed
to a severe cross fire from the rebel guns in the
woods. Ills troops fought nobly, with consider
able loss. For nm hour, no gun was fred from
the tort, aud by prompt presence 200 men would
have carried the works; but they were not there
and the troops retired. Another account con-
firms the above, but says that the Massachusetts
2Slh did well. II gives our loss at 81 killed. 1886
wounded, and l22 missing Our camp is now
within range Of the gunboats, and in safe condi.
ton, entertainments having been thrown up.

West at James Island, but our force nut be
largely reinforced before operations can be re.
samed, Rebel troops are conS;afIly arriving,
and extensive preparat ons for the deienses OF
Charleston are making.
Another letter writer asserts that Commodore
Dupont says no can take Charleston with five
gunhoats. He can run by Fort Sumter and the
civilizations without loss, with no more than
two, while with the others he would shell the
city.
A letter from the 4sth Regiment gives our to-

secession on a small scale among the Mormons.
A few months ago one Morris. believing himself
to be chosen by God to preach the gospel, gath.
cred together adherents numbering abou: 1000,
and withdrew to a settlement about thirty miles
from Salt Lake city. Some Of his followers stole
horses, and warrants were procured for their ar
rest-but the service was resisted ard the Off
c'rs Of the law assaulted. A writ from U. 6.
Court was similarly received by the fanatics,
when detachment Of soldiers was called out
bloody fight ensued, in which Morris and sew
eral others were killed and many others wounded,
when the law-breakers were quelled and the ar.
rests made. Among the killed and wounded
were several women and children, whom the
"seceShers" refused to remove before the fight
began. .
