that he heard a lieutenant In the

The Circlville (Ohio) Wdtchman
tells Of movement among farmers
Of one of the townships Of Pickway
county to rid the barns and stacks oI
rats. Some forty two citizens form
ed an association, and divided equal

proceeded to get rattails as beet
they could. The conditions Of the

The party or side that produoed
tho least count of rat tsils on the goth

On the appointed evening the rat
tails began to pour 10 by hundreds

appointed to make the count and the
following was the result: Whole
lumber produced was II $50, max

in the hunt. One side best the

over, supper was served, OF which

The Wdtchman estimates ib at the
killing OF these rats will save 35 O0C
bushels Of grain in year, and if fol

result. would save 525, 900 bushels

WAsH1NeroE, May 22


The fugitive slave law commissioners to-
day decided. on the points raised yesterday.
that it was discretionary with them to al
low cross examinations as to identity of
ownership, and therefore they permitted it
in the case of Stephen. who is claimed by a
citizen of Maryland. This case was con-
cluded by remanding the slave to the claim
ants.
This morning. while the Seventy sixth
New York regiment was marching through
the city, number of city officers, provi-
ded with judicial papers, seized two negroes
and placed them beyond the possibility of
rescue.
An attempt was made to arrest six or
eight other alleged fugitives. when many OF
the soldiers interposed, pointing their mus
kets at the police, and warning them of the
danger of resistance. The police pru-
IDENTIFY retired, and the negroes departed un-
der the protection of their military friends
Great excitement prevailed for a short
time, consequent upon these proceedings,
which it is said will be investigated by the
proper authorities.

A Proclamation.

6y the FTeStdenk OF Ehe OAated SEGteS:
WHEREAS, There appears in the public
prints what purports to be a proclamation of
Major General Hunter; and whereas, the
same is producing some excitement and mis-
understanding; therefore /, Abraham Lin
coin. President of the United States, pro-
claim and declare that the Government of
the United States had no knowledge or be-
lief of any intention on the part Of General
Hunter to issue such proclamation, nor has
it yet any authentic information that the
document is genuine; and further, that Gen.
Hunter, nor any other commander or person,
has been authorized by the Government of
the United States, to make proclamation
declaring the slaves of any State free; and
that the supposed proclamation. now in
question, whether genuine or false, is alto
gether void, so far as respects such decla-
ration.
further make known that whether it be
competent for me as Commander-inC Chief of
the Army and Navy to declare the slaves of
any State or States free, or whether at any
time or in any case it shall have become
necessity indispensable to the maintenance of
the Government to exercise such supposed
power, are questions which under my re-
sponsibility l reserve to myself, and which
1 cannot feel justified in leaving to the de-
cision of commanders in the field. These
are totally differer ent questions from those
of public regulations in armies and in
camps.
On the 9Th day of May last, by a special
message l recommended to Congress the
adoption of a joint resolution, substantially
as follows:
"Resozved, That the United States ought
to cooperate with any State which will adopt
such State in its discretion to compensate
for the inconvenience, public and private,
produced by such change of system
The resolution, in the language above
quoted. was adopted by large majority
in both Houses of Congress. and now stands
an authentic, definite and solemn proposal Of
the nation TO the States and people most in
terested in the subject.
To the people of these States now I earn
estly appeal. do not argue; l beseech you
to make the arguments for yourselves. You
cannot, if you would, be blind to the signs
of the times. beg of you calm and en-
larged consideration of them, ranging, if it
may be, far above personal and party poll
tics. This proposal makes common cause
for common object, casting no reproaches
on any. The change it contemplates would
come as quietly as the dews of Heaven, not
rending or wrecking anything. Will you
not embrace it So much good has not
been done by one effort in all past time as,
in the Providence of God, it is now your high
privilege to do. May the vast future not
have to lament that you have neglected it..
In witness whereof, have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington. this
18th day of May. in the year of our Lord

States the eighty sixth.

North Carolina Backing Out.
New YORK, May 10th.

NE" Ohhs MSy 1OIu.
News from North Carolina states that
Gov. Clark has refused to furnish any more
troops to JEFF. Davis, and bad recalled all
the North Carolina soldiers now in the reb-
ell army. North Carolina had held con-
vention of its citizens, and pronounced
against giving any further aid to the rebel
lion, thus virtually returning to the Union
In reply to a demand of JEFF. Davis for
additional troops and means of Transports
ton for his army to and through the cotton
States, Gov. Clark said Davis had receiv ed
all the aid from North Carolina he could
expect, and hereafter no more troops would
be permitted to leave the State, and has
ordered all North Carolina troops home.
Gov. Clark also informed the rebels that
they could use the railroads in retreating
homewards, but that they would run their
own risk of being intercepted by Union
force at any part of the State.
The Tribune has the following:
We can positively assert that, whether
modification may be made in his order, Gen
Hunter will not be recalled nor put in pc-
sition necessitating his resignation.
