Tho Emancipation Proclamation
Abroad.

In the issue OF the Maine Democrat Of
Oct. %. is the following sweeping assertion !;
"with few exceptions the British journals
denounce the proclamation Of President Lin
colu." And in tho issues Of that paper
since that time, the extracts from "British
journals" with no exceptions" have been
selected with especial reference to show that
the proclamation Of freedom has few If any
approvers abroad.
IL is well known to our readers that the
South and the North, too, hove their friends
IN western Europe, who have advocated the
cause Of their particular section from the
commencement Of the Rebellion. The point
is not, then, whether British or French
journals, "with few exceptions, denouneC
the PROCLAMATION" but rather whether the
cause Of the North has lost or gained by
reason Of that proclamation. Have any

A special dispatch to the Washington Star
from Manassas Junction, 9th, says it IL un.
dc,stood here that considerable portion Of
Gen. Sigel's corps have moved from their
late position in front Of us along the limo Of
the Manassas road to attend especially to
the possible movements of jackson, who is
believed to be still in the valley.
Gen. Sickles is on the way to-day TO the
Rappahannock station with sufficient infant

there past peradycnture, with the assistance
of Gen. Biyard's cavalry, who have had 1t

NEW YORK, Nov. IL.
The Trbune's Washington dispatch says
ono of those brilliant affairs which shed lus-
tre upon our volunteer cavalry, occurred Sum

Sigel's staff, with GO Of the LIST Indiana, Gen.
Sigel's body guard. and q small detachment
OF the 9th Ohio cavalry, dashed into frcder.
icksburg early in tho morning, where they
found eight companies Of Virginia cavalry.
Without giving the enemy time to form Capt.
Dahlgreen foil upon them with GO OF his

three hours, when the rebels were routed
Capt. Dahlgreen lost one killed and three
missing.
He returned safely Sunday night, bringing
thirty-nine prisoners with their horses and
accoutrements and two wagons loaded with
army clothing.
Heavy firing was heard Sunday at General
Sigcl's headquarters in the direction Of the
Rappahannock. which leads to the belief that
Gen. Pleasanton and Stuart were ut 1t again.
At night there was rumor that Gen. Pleas

to know what had become Of their money, and
again and again have threatened revenge unless
they we're satisfied. Eafiy this last Spring, tho
traders informed the Indians that the next payment
would only be half Of the usual amount, because
the Indian debts had been paid at Washington.
They were In sume instances refused credit on this
account. It caused deep and widespread discon-
tent. The agent was alarmed, and Is early as may
be, wrote to me that this new fraud must bring q
harvest of sorrow, saying, God only knows what
will be the result" In June, at the time fixed by
custom, they came togetherfor the payment. The
agent could give no satisfactory reason for delay.
There was none. The indians waited at the Agen-
cies for two months, dissatisfied, turbulent, mad,
hungry, and then came the outbreak, tale Of hor-
rors, enough to curdle ones blood. The money
reached Fort Ridgeley the day after the outbreak.
A pat of the annuity had been taken for claims,
and at the eleventh hour, az the warrtLt on the
Treasury shows was made up from other funds to

blood but It is, ut least the duty Of all good cit'
sens to give their counsel and efforts in that drec-

ansssacres IN that State, and the condemnation OF
three hundred Of the ssvsges 10 be hung tor the
murders committed. Il docs Hot seem to be the

REBEL OvERTUREs FOR PEAcE.-Ihe Washing
ton correspondent of the New York T, ibaas gives
somewhat detailed statement Of the effJrts Of the
leaders of the rebellion to correspond with iuttuen"
tisl men in the North, with view to IN amnesty
snd subsequent compromise. It is asserted that
the desperation of the rebels has lnducef tnSIn lU
this offer [" provided the Government will allow
them to do so and resume their old mastery in the
u counsels of the reunited nation.' The Tribune
correspondent says on what he deems the most un-
doubted authority, that the matter has not only
been brought before the federal government, bat
has been canvassed for upward Of two weeks. He
processes know the precise state of the case be-
tween the confederate and Union authorities, which
he states thus:
CDR. Barney, citizen Of Baltimore, was recent,
" taken by the rebel pckets near CentreVille, and
forwarded to Richmond. He has since stated that
he went in the way for the express purpose OF be-
ing captured. While in Richmond, where ne has
numerous acqnaintances, he had fre uent inter
views With the members of the Confederate Cabi-
net, and was admitted into many of the secrets OF
the rebel programme. When the time arrived Tor
his departure North, he was sent for by judah r.
Benz min. who handed him letters addressed to
Gov. Seymour Of New York, Fcsna5do ana zen.
Wood, Vallandigham, and Cox of Ohio, Senator
Bayaud of Delaware, Beverly Johnson Of Maryland
and number of other noted democratic leaders m
the North and in the Border States. In the verbal
Instructions given to Dr.. Barney. no terms were
asked for. The Soutberners told him they would
consent to no terms, that if not admitted into tho
Union again as equals, they we,lh not come in at
ALL What they ask is the granting OF an amnesty
10 all the military and civil leaders OF the rebellion,
so that an election for Members Of Congress can
be made during the coming winter, and that body
be called together at least as early as April: With
the heavy democratic gains in the ! te elections,
the Southerners see that they could control both
the Senate aud House, and they offer to let tho
terms of settlement between the two sections DO
made by that Congress. They say they will never
consent to any terms thatthe republican party now
in power can offer. A settlement, however, IN
which they will have controlling voice, in tho
next Congress, { ey are willing to abide BY.
CDR, Barney had an interview with both 5 Gre
tary Seward and Preside nj Lincoln As soon as he
returned to Washington and, according to hisown
st Dry, these officials declined to eonsi er the mat
ter in the shape in which he presenfe it ~ them.
He has since that time visited New York for the
purpose tf seeing and eonyersiug with John Van
Buren, the Woods, and Gov. Seynienr.-Bosfon

fords no other, and there i,EksaesforM no law to
hold in check the epu passioss of bad mes. No
punishment is inflicted among them for theft, MIR
der and violence. No effort Is made to restrain
the savage warfare the tribes wage on each other.
On the contrary, says the Bshep:
"They have murdered each other In our streets,
fought beside our villages, even shaken their cory
sealps in our faces and we did not know that we
we're nursing passions since to break out in vio-
lence and blood. There was no mark Of condem-
nation upon their Pagan customs, for even high
officials have paid them to hold heather dances to
amuse acrowd The Government, instead of COM
peliing these men to live by honest labor, has fos
tered dleness, encouraged savage life by payments
of money, by purchases of beads, trinkets, 'scal-
ping knlyes and really given the weight of inau-
ence on the side of heather life. The sale of fire.
water has been most unbushing when we knew
that if it made drnnkards Of white men, it made
red men devils. ...-
The Bishop next gives, w.iat we all know is too
true, shoeking picture of the frauds, impostures,
cruelties and robberies that tor time immemOrial
have been allowed under oir Government to be
perpetrated on the Indians by traders, who defy
all laws, human and divine, to gain the enoi nous
profits Of their illicit commerce. The wrongs of
these men bear their perennial fruit of blood The
following fact stated by the Bishop. is enough for
national humiliation: .-..
"Canad. has not had an Indian var since the
revolution; we have hardly passed year without
one. The same tribes there are bound by ties Of
affection to the English crown"
OF the immediate cause of the outbreak and mas
sacres of last Summer, the Bishop gives the follow
ing account:
"Four years ago the Sioux sold the Government
about eight hundred thousand acres of land, being
part of their reservation. Of $96 900 due to the
Lower Sioux, they have never received cent
All has been absorbed in ellirns except $3.50 SO,
which is to their credit on the books at Washing

of some Of the individuals, a the present fury of
passion which unfits populey tribunal to decide
fairly on their cases. The words of the Bishop on
this point are admirable and tweighty, and should
20 far to restore the people 1of Minnesota to the
sway Of reason. He says,
While We execute justicx our consciousness
