When the Emancipation Proclamation was
Settled Upon

Every Hem of information respecting the in-
auences which have combined to lead President
Lincoln TO the high position be now occupies as
author Of the greatest and most humane and
Christian act 81 this century, are peculiarly
interesting. We give below, the statement Of
the Washington correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, respecting the causes which have in
duced Mr. Lincoln to take this step The state
ment sets at rest the story that i vas lssued to
geI the start Of JEFF Davis, who was contempla
ting a similar act or that the President gives
expression to anything but his deliberate iudg-
ment, in the Proclamation.
Now aud then the remark i. heard that the
President has been driven into the policy of
emancipation By outside clam0r, most prepos
ferrous $ atement For nearly year MIR LIN
coin is known to have had the question Of Slave
ry, in It's connection with the rebellion, under
his most thoughtful and deliberate consideration.
Within the last few months, percelying the
great progress which public opinion was max
ing, he has given still closer attention to the
question, his invoked counsel from all dmec-
tions, and has l0oked to Providence for guild
ance to the true solution OF the great problem
which, as he told the depuatiou from the re-
liglous men Of Chicago, was in his thoughts
night and day 4 number of weeks since, he
was, as we telegraphed you month ago, on The
point of issuing proclamation which fixed the
LIST OF December as the day Of Emancipation,
and was only dissuaded at that time from doing
so by the stroag opposition Of two members OF
his Cabinet This statement has been denied
but it IS substantially true.
The Proclamation now issued is an improve
ment IN several nateral respects upon the reiec-
ted one 1t wls written on sunday, and was
laid before the Lablnetat an extraordinary meet
ing yesterday Every member, with perhaps
a single exception, IN the person OF Postmaster
General Blar, agreed to il and will give it his
hearty support All accepted { cheeriully, as
indicating The adoption OF policy which they
had long been urging. IL is to be added that
the proclamation IS the presidents own work,
written without consultation, not altered, or if
altered at all very slightly, at CRATER the Cahi
net meeting, and published to tn world within
iorty-eiga hours Of its composition.

DEAA SIR Government has recently placed
lnspe ctors in our Washington, Alexandra,
Georgetown, Baltimore, and other Offices, near
tho Army, for the examination Of Soldiers and
o,her freight going within Military Lines. They
open and inspect each package, and when found
to contain Liquor of any klnd,-eyen one bot
tle~-they seize and coniiscate the whole con
tents.
IN view Of this, 1t is proper that you direct
by sending copy Of this-every Agent in
your Division to give notice of this practice to
every shipper of soldiers or other freight des-
tined to places within or near Military Lines,
and inquire Of each as to the contents OF his
particular package These Inspectors likewise
open and examine all return freight sent from
within Military Lines, in search OF contraband
articles stolen or improperly obtained by the
shipper, and seize all such articles
Ii claim for loss Of such article is made by
eonsignees upon the Company, this will be a
sufficient reason why payment should not be
made. A large number Of packages from Fred.
lsrcksburg recently haze been thus opened and
part Of contents seized.
