Repuise of Gen. Banks.

The news from Washington gives rather
an unfavorable report from Gen. BANK s
division. He has been attacked by a
large body of the rebel army, who appear
to have been concentrating unobser,ed in
Western Virginia, and at last accounts,
had been forced to fall back first to Win
chester, then to Harpers Ferry, and after
wards 70 Williamsport, with the rebels
still in pursuit There was much excite
ment in Washington in consequence of a
fear that the rebels will soon make their
way into Maryland, in which case lar
ger force will be required at Washington
than is now stationed there.
The rebels heretofore between Freder-
icksburg and Richmond are said to have
all left with four days rations, whether
for the rebel capitol or against BANKS, is
not reported.

ANOTHER REGIMENT FOR Wisconsin,
Gov SALoMoS has received a dispatch
from the War Department calling on Wis
consin for another Regiment If Nolun-
teers If the other States are called on
for like proportion, $4,000 additional
troops would be raised.
The Madison Journal says the Cover
srnor, in reply, has urged upon the War
Department, that the General Government
pay both officers and men frem the time
OF enlistment This is right and proper,
and we can see no rsason why the gov
ernment should object to so just a cause.
Heretofore there has been much COM
plaint on account of men receiving no
pay until they were sworn into the United
States service, which is often months af-

The Presidents Proclamation.

The Proclamation Of President LIN
coLS, declaring Gen HUNTERS order free
ing the slaves of the States of South Car
olina, Georgia and Florida unauthorized
and void, will be found in our columns
to-day. 1t is a document to which we d.
rect the careful attention Of our readers
1t shows most clearly that those who be-
lieved Mr.. LINCOLN possessed of firmness
and independence of character did not
misiudge the man. During the admins
trations that have preceded the present,
it has been quite too much the case that
the Government has been administered
by the party leaders, to whom the Presi-
dent ;ppeared to hold himself accounta
BILE. Not SO with ABRAHAM LINCOLN
lie, and not those who surround him, is
President, and whatever his own honest
convictions dictate as the best. policy for
the whole country, will be carried out
to the letter, far as he is able to do it.
He does not believe the time has yet come
for declaring freedom to the slaves, tho
careful reading of his proclamation
must convince any one that he believes
there is point beyond which endurance
would cease to be virtue The signs
Of the times" evidently convince the
President that the day is not far distant
when those who heed not the counsels of
reason, to take advantage of the liberal
.,ffer of tho Covorpmapt and roca;ra .o,,,
pensation for their human chattels, will
regret their folly That the President
believes the days Of human bondage un-
der this Government arc numbered no
one can doubt His allusion to his eman-
cipation resolution and his appeal to those
inter.s eG to embrace the present oppor-
tunity TO free thcms Ives from slavery.
can be considered in no other light, than
warning that President WILL one of
these days, . take the responsibility Of
using the power he reserves to himself,
and proclaim freedom to the slave, and
then the compensation recommended by
the President and Congress, TO those
States who heed not the warning, will be
withheld
Let us wait, with patience, for the time
when the President shall say TO the slaves
of the rebels, 9 henceforth you are forerer
free A few more warnings may be
loo ked upon by the President as necessa-
~ and proper, but the day of probation is
fast drawing to a close.

Tho Bravery of the Wisconsin Bows

sergeant VIM NELSON, the hero of the
following exploit was workman in this
office previous to his enlistment 70. the
war. Like others Of our former work
men, he has proved himself good fighter
as well as a good printer ]-Ep. TRrB.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Huntsville, Ala. Nav
9th, records the folio wing feat of a SQUAD
of the Wisconsin Tenth:
A few evenings since, in attack was
made upon Paint Rock bridge by band
of irregular cavalrymen numbering. as
has since been ascertained, from $50 to
800 men.
Sergeant VIM Nelson, Co ], 10th Wis.
was on guard at the bridge, with fifteen
men of his regiment The assault began
about midnight, the enemy advancing
upon both sides of the railroad, and pour
ing upon the little band vollev after vollev
from rifles, shot guns, pistols. and every
species of firearms that the bushwhacke
had been able to get together. Our brave
fellows replied with great decision and
effect, the Sergeant returning as his an
swer to each summons of the enemy to
! surrender, Go to hell give it to them
boys
Sergeant Mckimson Co. III. same regi.
ment, hearing the firing, at another bridge
a few miles off came up with reinforce
ment of ten, and after combat of three
hours duration, the rebels were driven
| off without accomplishing their object
The affair is almost without parallel in
the history of modern warfare
Some of the Wisconsin heroes were
wounded: Augustus Belau,-Co f. and
Edward T. Best, Co. ID, seriously; Frank
Yokich, Co. 4, John Singer and Timothy
Latham, Co +, Reuben Howard, Co. ID
and John Calhoun, Co X, slightly.
Seven of the bushwhackers were found
dead In the woods next morning; but
their numbers enabled them to remove al
the dead and wounded they could find
and we have reason to believe, from the
testimony of one of the rebels engaged
| in the affair, and who has since been made
| prisoner, that the loss of the attacking
party was not less than thirty killed and
wounded.

What's the News 2"

Many times each day do we hear this
question repeated, by persons who are
anxious to learn something of the pro-
gress of our armies and the prospects of
the term nation of the war, and vet none
can give a definite answer The truth is
there is little or no news that is reliable
in market Our daily papers come laden
with reports from special correspon-
dents, most of whom know as little about
the doings of the army as they do of affairs
in Japan but they know the people are
greedy for news, and that their employers
wish to sell their papers, and what mat
tiers it to them if they guess at thing
one day which they have to guess is not
so on the next? They have helped sell
a few newspapers, and their object is &C
complished. The fact Ia, the people are
becoming quite disgusted with newspapers
and their lying reporters. We are almost
daily inquired of if there is not some pa
per more reliable than the Chicago Ti-ib-
une. or Times. &c, &c. We can sec but
little difference in our city exchanges
The public mind appears to crave some
thing exciting, and just as long as people
are willing to pay for being humbugged
they will find newspapers willing to graf
ifv them. We have long since come to
the conclusion that there is but very little
reliance to be placed in the war reports
Of the city papers.
