from camp near Bakersyille, Nd, says: "The
Presidents Proclamation, SO far as | am able

NEW uRk, oct. u.
A special dispatch to the Post, from Wash
ington to-day, says Gen. Hooker was at the
War Department this morning. He will prob
ably not go into the field Immediately.
1t is said the astonishing leaks in the War
Department, which have excited so much com
ment ever since the war broke out have at
last been discovered in the person of traitor
clerk, who has intimate connections with the
Jef Davis government. Grave charges have
been preferred against this person, and they
are now undergoing an investigation.
The Express processes to have reliable in
formation from semi-oilicial circles in Europe,
that England and France have decided upon a
recognition of the Southern Conlederacy, if
the joint offers of mediation and armstice for
four or five months, to be proposed to Mr..
Seward, are not accepted. They fear a slave
insurrection III the South, says the Express,
after the LIST of January, and it is to afford
their own citizens residing there ample protec-
ton under the egis of their regularly appoint
ed agents, that England and France will claim
the necessity of recognizing the new conied-
eracy.

The Associated Press and Political Intelli-
gence.
New YORK, Oct. 27.

NEW DIRK, Oct. u.
The Associated Press of New York consists
OF seven newspaper establishments, the Jour
nal Of Commerce, Herald, Tribune, Times
World, Sun and Express. These papers hold
various political principles, as should be well
known to the Agents of the Associated Press
IN all parts of the country.
Complaints have recently been made that
telegraphic news and special dispatches relat-
ing to political meetings and elections have been
more or less tinged with political coloring, on
one side or another. 1t is the object OF this
notice to call the attention of all agents and
correspondents to the rules of the association,
which forbid any such dispatches to be sent
over the wires. They are instructed to send
news, and only news. Facts can always be
stated in words that are free from objection,
and it is especially important that no slang
phrases or political nck-names be used in dis
patches sent to the Associated Press. 1t is
the object of the association to receive news
which shall be acceptable to all the members,
without giving offence to any by the terms in
which it is conveyed.
The above is authorized by the Executive
Committee of the Associated Press
