proclamation. Gen. Wadsworth is we'll
known to have been in favor Of such a
policy from the first. His nomination
by the Union Convention places the
loyal citizens Of the Empire State in
perfect harmony with the policy of the
Administration as announced in this
important State paper.
The telegraphic dispatches from Cal
ifornia state that the proclamation is
received in that State with the utmost
enthusias small the loyal papers sup
porting it as the promise of a better
day.
We have no room for further extracts
this week. The great importance of
the measure makes it of interest to all
to know how it is received. We can
safely assure our readers that it has
given new life aud confidence to loyal
men everywhere, and will be cordially
sustained by all such. 49,

We do not say that Mr.. Morris is a

Gerstanding with the Southeru leaders.
we 10 not suppose he is. But he is a
weak man, at best, aud trammellel as
he is BY the ties of mare party, will go
With bis party. Cunninger and more
desperate men now control the party
He will be the tool in their hands, as
he expects patriotic Democrats to be in
his hand. He wants the emoluments of
the Office. To secure these, he appeals
to Democrats as partisans. If elected,
ne stands, asa partisan, along side of
Nallandigham, Cox, voorhees, and 9th
ers. They, not such men as Morris,
shape the policy ofzthe party in Con-
gress. What their policy will be, the
country knows.
We ask, then, overy loyal man to con-
rsider what is his duty in this matter.
Our readers have given their sons and
brothers,sa willing Sacrifice to put down
tue rebellion, and save their country.
Will you send to, the couusels of the

In matter of such transcendent i'm

to nerve, by your ballots, the arms of
the noble sons you have sent to WELD

conspiracy that ever raised its traitor
hand against the peace, prosperity, the
institutions and liberties of free peo-

Another Proclamation.

The President has issued another
proclamation, which will be found in
another column of the Telegraph. Its
importance will be admitted by all,
whether they like it or not. It makes
all persons guilty of disloyal acts liable
to martial law, and to be tried by Court
Martial He assigns as reason for
this extreme measure. that disloyal per-
sons are not adequately restrained by
the ordinary process of law. The writ
cf habeas corpus is suspended in regard
to these disloyal persons.
That the trying hour of our Govern
ment has come-the crisis which is to
determine the fate of US all--can no
longer be disguised. The elements of
sedition and anarchy seem to have been
let loose all over the land. Desperate
demagogues, and reckless politicians,
a.e exhausting their resources Of false
[ hood and malignity to stir up. the .un-
reasoning passions of the base and self
ish, in the hope of personal profit, to be
reaped from the ruin of their country,
which they would insure in their fanati-
cal hatredof those whom the people have
placed in power.
If we had none but the rebels in arms
to fear, there would be no misgivings as
to the result. But our worst and most
dangerous enemies are not those who are
Id open treason against the Government,
and attempting, by force of arms, to sub
vert the Constitution, and esta bish upon
its ruins the most hateful aud disgusting
of all possible ferns Of despotis sm.-
These could be met and overcome But
how will you meet and overcome the
u:ore insidious enemy that instils the
poison Of prejudice, and incites to frenzy
the passions Of the turbulent in the Sc
cret de, and Nesting places where con-
spiraCies are hatched, and the tools of
the conspirators are prepared for their
mission of anarchy BY being saturated
with lies and whisky? Against this
danger truth and reason stand powerless,
for they cannot find access to the heads
or hearts of these dupes of bad men.
And it is in view Of this danger that
the President has issued this proclama-
ton. The ''ordinary process of law is
inadequate to restrain" this element Of
disloyalty. And, hence, to preserve the
very life of the nation, and, if possible,
the peace and order of society. as well
as the lives and property of the people,
he has deemed it necessary to place the
whole country under this seemingly
harsh, but really protective safeguard Of
Martial Law. Asserting to the neces-
sity, We acquiesce in the measure, be-
lieving that nothing else can save US from
the turbulence Of faction, which is threat
ening, in it's madness, to overturn the
very foundations Of society, as well as
Government. --

The Killing of Gen. Nelson.

In another column will be found a
dispatch stating the fact of the killing
of Gen. Nelson, by Gen. JEFF. G. Davis,
at the Gault House, Louisville In ref
erence TO the transaction, the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
The oblivion which charity grants to
the evil deeds Of the dead, must give
way to the demands of justice to the
living. That the reputation and life OF
valuable officer are at stake for the
killing Of General Nelson, must override
the conventional sentiment which en-
joins silence in every thing but good Of
the dead. The report of the eircum-
stances shows that the killing was done
under the provocation of the most in
suiting language and of blows. This
was aggravated by previous foul insult
entirely unprovoked.
This corresponds with General Nell
sons general character and manner and
with his treatment of whom he thought
he might abuse, insult, bully and beat
with impunity. The foulest abuse was
not an exceptional license with him, but
was his general practice. His language
to inferior off ers, soldiers, inofeHs,ve
laborers or inhabitants-to any who
happened to be the subjects of his hu-
NOR, was a compound Of everything foul,
obscene and profane from billingsgate
and the forecastle, roared out with
beastliness of manner that gave him
the name among the soldiers Of "Old
Bull Nelson
His brutality to his soldiers was
monstrous. With the articles of war
at his back, making resistance or retail
iation punishable with death, and with
an army to back him in his abuse of
authority, men who came within the
range of his caprice were compelled to
have their manhood crushed to the en-
durance Of the foulest insult and bru-
tality In addition to this habitual
brutality, he is charged With the killing
of several persons. When he came here
after his flight from Richmond, he
boasted that he cut down one or two Of
his men in the fight. The Indiana
and exhausted Indiana soldiers in that
a fair. Thousands of Indiana soldiers
have threatened to take the opportu-
| nifty Of the first battle to shoot him;
and several officers have notified him of
their determination to call him to ac-
| count for insults similar to those he
put upon Gen. Davis, whenever they
could do SO without subjecting them
selves to military penalties.
| The affair is to be lamented; but the
iamentable part is, that such man
should have been in the service, and that
thousands of patriotic volunteers, his
superiors in every respect, should have
been subject to his absolute authority,
and that valuable officer should be in
danger for his justifable taking off
We know not by what unaccountable in
tluence such a man came to high rank;
but it destroys all the honor of promo
tion when such man can be hoisted at
one step from a Lieutenant in the Navy
to Brigadier, and from that swiftly to
Maj or General. The affair is relief
to the service. The universal sentiment
on the streets of this city, on the recep-
ton of the intelligence of the killing,
justified it, So will public sentiment
throughout the country wherever his
character is known.
