cerning the reception OF the Presidents

distinguished officers in the army and navy

it. OF these / feel free to name Generals

Hunter, Butler and Phelps. In the navy. Ad-
mral Dupont is authoritatively quoted among
the earnest advocates of the policy of emanci-
patton; and so also of the gallant old seaman
now in command of the United States Naval
Asylum at Philadelphia, Commander Joseph
Enge.
There is a large class of regular officers in
both branches of the service who are expected
to oppose the proclamation, and among these
General Mcclellan is boldly named. Happily.
however, have the best reason for knowing
that these officers will disappoint this treason
able hope. Whatever their opinions may be,
they will fearlessly obey the acts of Congress,
and stand by the Executive in enforcing these
acts. There is, besides, class of public men,
not in the army, and not republicans, who give
the proclamation their warm, cordial, and
grateful sanction"

There is no fog to-day, the sun shining
brightly, with q strong breeze. At daylight

and infantry in front of the first line Of works,
where Generals Sumner and Hooker were en-
gagged yesterday.
The FIRE SACKED about an hour afterwards
and was heard only at intervals until now
Tns same occurred IN front Of General Frank
Inns division down the river. The object Of
both parties was evidently to feel the other.

released them upon parole, to avoid tie
