GREELEY, ANDREW, BLAIR, of Mchi-
gan, and other Aboltionists, promised
the President a Million of Men if he
would issue his Emancipation PROCLAIM
alton. In vain did LINCOLN protest-in
vain did he cite the stories Of the Pope
who issued Bull against the Come. aud
the slave who told his Master that his
calling a pigs tail leg would not make
it so. lie was assured that If he would
but spread his Edict before the People,
armed men would spring out Of the earth,
at the stamp of his foot.
Tho Proclamation has been issued
and-whcre are the Abolition Warriors?
President LINCOLN, alas scan't see
them" but, on the other hand, the Con
iederate Congress and the papers Of the
South are using the exclamation as a
Magic Wand, with which to strike new
enthusiasm into the hearts Of the people.
They needed something to revive their
dropping spirits, and it is supplied to
them by this Emancipation programme.
1t has kindled new fire in the South
and its effects will soon be apparant in the
swelling of the Rebel ranks, and the in
creased desperation with which they will
rush to the conflict.

Abolition PrOcIamaliOnS!

The Democracy Of Holmes County
have for many years pointed proudly to
the majority Of lii once given in this
county, over which 100 guns were fired
in the city Of New York. But, the proud,
unprecedented and unexpected majority
given on Tuesday, throws in the shade
all former majortes. The people o.
Holmes county have placed their seal
Of condemnation upon the corruptions and
wrongs of tho present Administration,
and more especially have they rcbuked
MARTIN WELKER for his trickcry and
barefaced villainy in having drafted men
in camp from Democratic counties aud
those of Republican counties at home to
vote. Many Of the townships deserve
especial notice, but when all did so wcll
we will not make distinctions.
This great triumph for the Constitution
and Union Of our Fathers is not al onC
the work Of the Democratic party
Scores, yes hundreds, of men who low
the Union better than they do the nigge
voted with us for the first time. The,
were willing to forcgo their hostility t.
the Democratic party for the good of thu
country. All honor to them.
With pride we point to the majoritics
of the several townships

The Last of the ByrOnS.

The dullness OF London a. this season
of the year has been relieved for the day
by strange glimpse into the romance of
the peerage. Last week there died at
Brighton, at the early age of twenty sew
en-, Byron Noel, Baron of Ockham and
Wentworth. The heir of large fortune.
the grandson and direct representative
of the greatest of English poets, the
young peer had--so the world might
have judged brilliant career before him
lie was the son of Ada Byron, the poets
only daughter, and this is all that is
known of him positively. Fer some
cause unknown, and only family surmis-
ed, the young baron never assumed his
rank. never took his seat in the House of
the Lords, never even made his appear
ance in the fashionable world. Very early
in life he broke off his connection with
his family, willingly or not, served on
board ship as common sailor, then sup
ported himself as common laborer in
London dock yard, and became engaged
(if he was not actually married to bar
maid in sailors public house in Wap-
ping. Then, in the first bloom of his
young life, he dies suddenly by honor
rhage of the lungs, and the court papers
mention his existence after years of 81.
lence. The last of the Byrons is dead
and the story Of the last descendant of
that strange race is buried in the grave
with him.

The Fire on OIL CrccIx.


We copy the following account of the
lotc fire on Oil Greek from the Oil City
Register
1t would appear that on yesterday after-
noon about three O'Clock fire broke out
on the Blood farm. at its intersection with
the Iarr farm. The fire rst broke out in
the tanks of Mr.. II. d. Filkins. As to
how tine fire originated thero is consider
able diversity of opinion. Without anv
prejudice, we merely think it must have
caught from some Of the numerous engines
in the immediate vicinity of the Filkins
well.
The space burnt over embraces from
eighteen to twenty acres. Most of this
was on the Blood farm, in what was called
Maple Grove. In this grove was the Fill
kin, Lloyd, and several other wells. Oil
has been stared in this locality for the
last three months, and of course largo
quantity was on hand. Here, as well as
above, the oil tanks wele standing close
together, interming'ed with engine-hous-
es, offices, &c. On this territory were
stored some 80, 900 barrels Of oil, in tanks
and barrels, besides some ten wells, seven
of which were flowing. All that human
foresight and exertion could do was done.
but it was all in vain. 1t is true that
same houses, and the refneries Of Missrs.
Barrows & Scott and Battles IL Co., were
saved. but the remaining portion of the
ground was burnt over.
About six o'clock the fire ceased raging
| e., h., Il Al, Al l..
or nothing left to burn. The.whole space
before occubied by tanks, wells. engine
houses. Offices and dwellages was swept
clean. Maple Grove, which we have Oft
en- admired as one of the finest ornaments
Of Oil Greek, is no more. The charred
and blackened trees will long remain =
monument ofthis sad disaster.
During the conhagration Oil Creek
took fire and presented grand sight,
By the united exertons Of the people as
sembled, the fire was put out From a
hasty examination, we should think the
loss will not fall far short Of $1,000, 900.
Some 25, 900 or 80, 900 barrels of oil were
consumed, together with numerous en-
gnes &c. The oil men took their loss
es coolJ, and were rebuilding their der
ricks amidst the smoking ruins. During
the fire there were no explosions, thus
clearly demonstrating that crude petrole-
um is non-explosive. But we shall at
tend to this matter at length in our next.
The following are some Of the principa
sufferers

to prevent another concentration-bcl bcliev-
ing now is the time to destroy them.
The enemy abandoned and spiked elev
en- guns, and three caissous were destroy
ed. Most Of their ammunition and baggage
trains were captured.
Our victory is incontestibly one OF the
cleanest of the war; The enthusiasm Of
the army for Rosccrans is boundlcss.
Altogether we have two thousand prs-
oncrs, including nearly one hundred Off
GERS, besides wounded.
About one thousand rebels were killed.
Our loss is three hundred and fifty kill
ed and twelve hundred wounded.
Accurate accounts are impossible until
the army returns to Corinth.
Ohio had seven regiments and two bat
terries in battle.
Gen. Ogleby's wound is better but is
not dangerous. Coloncls Smith and Gill
bert are improving.

My troops reached that point on the 4th

retired toward Springfield, whittier the
pursuit was continued.
We sent corps under General Gil

the enemy were found to be in force

that the left had been severely engag ,
for several hours; and that the right an

severely harrassed.

The EngItsh Diplomatic Service

Earl Russell has recently issued new
regulations for the government of at.
taches in British diplomatic service,
which show with what care foreign din.
lomatists are trained, in contrast with the
inattention to the whole subject which
prevails here. For instance, all canii.
dates for entrance into the service are
obliged to undergo examination-thcy
being at the time between the ages OF
twenty-one and twenty-six years. The
candidate is to satisfy his examiners that
he has a good knowledge of the Latin
language. lie must have "an accurate
knowledge of French grammer, fluency
IN French conversation, correctness of
translation from Fieuch into English and
from English into French, and French
composition. He must show, also, a
like proficiency in the German tongue. He
must exhibit "a fair knowledge of the
political history of Europe, and of North
and South America, from the year 1860
to lS6O, incluSive; and of the most i'm.
portant International transactions during
that period" and also "a genearl knowl.
edge of maritime and international law,
to be acquired from Wheaton's Elements
of International Law, and the first vol
ume of kent's Commentary" The Sc
lection of two American books in this
department is significant. But in addi-
tion to these branches, the candidate is
also to be examined in geography, geom-
etry. arithmatic, &c,; and general intel
ligence" is to be taken into account
How many veteran American diplomat
lists could successfully stand this prelim-
mary examination

Michigan Election.

The State election in the Northern part
of Michigan (the Lake Superior couuty)
has just been held, The Detroit Free
Press Of Tuesday thus notices the result :
Eve have sufficient returns from lake
Superior to show that the radical Repub.
icans were defeated in every county,
Every Senator and Representative elected
from IT, at section Of the State is determn-
edly hostile to the Blails aGd Chambers.
SO strong was the feeling against Chan
dler that even Republican candidates came
out against him, in hope Of thus being
able to save themselves, but to no pur
pose.
The town elections held lately in Con
necticut have also gone with rush 70
the conservatives and Democracy.
