ANOTHER PRoCLAMAToN.-AW Washington
dispatch, of the 10Th inst, gives another
proclamation issued by the President, as
follows:
Whereas, 1t has become necessary to call
into service not only volunteers but also por-
ton of the militia of the States to suppress the
insurection existing in the United States, dis
loyal persons are not adequately restrained by
the ordinary processes of law from h'nder!ng
this measure, and from giving aid and comfort
in various ways to the enemyi it is ordered
First-During the existing insurrection all
rebels and insurgents, their aiders and abettors,
and all persons discouraging enlistments or re-
sisting the militia drafts, offering aid or conf
fort to the rebels, shall be subject to martial
law and liable to trial and punishment by mill
tary commission.
Second-The writ Of habeas corpus is sus-
pended in respect to all persons arrested, or who

Col FORNAN.--A few days ago, we allu.
ded to letter published in the Sacramento
Union, and purporting to come from a SOL
dier in the 4th regiment, accusing Col. For
man of disoyalty, incapaCity, etc. The S.
f. Journal, referring to the same letter,
says:
An officer attached that regiment says that
he is satisfied the letter was written by an out
slider, who has personal spite against the CO.
lionel; that Col. Forman is the only officer who
has caused arrests in Los Angeles county for
disloyal conduct and insults to the flag; and
that he possesses the confidence and esteem Of
those under his command In the letter allu-
ded to great fault is found with the Colonel for
telling the soldiers they could vote; If he did
tell them so, he committed no offence though
he might have been mistaken in regard to the
law concerning voting; from the fact that he
told them they could vote, he evidently wished
for them to vote, knowing they would vote for
the Union ticket and secure the success of the
Union candidate. If Col. Forman is Seces-
sionist he would hardly desire regiment of
Union soldiers to vote in Secesh county and
thus secure the defeat of the Secesh ticket.

PROPORTION OF THE DRAFT TO THE ABLE-
BODIED CIT1zENs.-A writer in the Philadel-
phia Press makes the following estimate of the
proportion of the able-boded citizens that will
be required for the public service
Within the last few days 1 have noticed Sc
veral articles in the public press, in which esti-
mates are made as TO what proportion of the
inhabitants the present draft, including those
already in the field, will comprise. AS believe
them all to be erroneous, will you allow me very
respectfully to submit the following estimate
First, assume the population to % 900 600

THE PROPOSED REGIMENT.-A San Fran
cisco dispatch to tie Appeal, dated the
25th, says telegram was received that
day from Washington, refusing TO grant
permission to raise a regiment for the East
The same dispatch says Gen Wright has
telegrapbed to the War Department, that
in his opinion the regiment had better not
leave here. What Gen. Wrigbts object
can be in making sush representations we
do not know; but we infer that he wants it
to appear that there is large Secession ell
ement 10 California which requires the
presence of all the Union men to keep
down. But if his purpose is to keep men
in this State, for fear of an uprising, it will
be failure. 1t is impossible to keep men
here when so much excitement Is going on
at The East, and such tremendous issues are
to be decided upon the battle field. Those
disposed to go, who have the means, VIII
pay their own passage, and many other
good men would go if they could raise the
money. We have no doubt that enough
men to make up regiment will leave here
for the war in the next two or three months.
But arriving at different times, they will OF
course join different regiments, and their
identity as Californians will be lost. They
would all prefer to join California regi.
ment, or brigade, and we earnestly hope
that arrangements may yet be made to
send an organized force from this State.

II is rumored here thai. the Secesslonsis
in this State are forming guerrilla bands III
this State and Nevada Territory. 1t is
said they have about ten thousand men en-
listed. The Call attaches great Importance
to the matter, and says it is time something
was done to ascertain the facts.

Eastern News.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26th.-The Governors
of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, New Hamp'
shire. and Indiana, arrived here this morn
ing. They congratulated the President on
bis emancipation message, believing il
would be productive of good as measure
of justice to humanity, and sound policy.
1t is stated that no proposition was made
at the recent conference for the removal Of
Mcclellan and the promotion of Fremont
to the head of the army. The convention
was very harmonious, aud no interference
with the conduct of the war was thought
or spoken of.
Nothing important from Buell., Mcclellan

EASTERN NEWS.-Nothlng OF speclal iu-
terest has been received for several days
from the theater Of war on the Potomac.
At the latest advices the Federal and rebel
armies we're facing each other on opposite
sides of the river-the lines extending
from Sharpsburg to Williamsport. We hear
nothing of the movements of Heintzeman,
Sigel and Banks, who are in command of
large divisions, nor of the immense number
of ne wrecrults that must lately have arriv-
ed in Washington. This silence relative to
army movements is indicative of plan to
strike vigorous blow in some unexpected
uuartar. A semi-official statement gives
the Federal losses in the battle of Antic'
tam at 1920 in killed, wounded and miss
ing. The rebel losses during their raid in
Maryland are reported at $4,000. Sur
peon-General Hammond, who has returned
to Washington from the late battle 6eld be-
tween Manassas and Bull Run, reports that
our people had buried 5000 of the rebel
dead left ON the field by their friends,
though they held possession of the field at.
ter the engagement. He adds that there
were still 600 rebel corpses to be inferred.

GUERRILLAs.-Reports are current that
the secession sympathisers are organizing
guerrilla bands in this State and Nevada
Territory. There is some reason to believe
that bands of outlaws are organizing in the
mountains, to carry on depredations on an
extensive scale; but they cannot be digni-
fed with the title of guerrillas. They are
merely robbers, and should be regarded and
treated as such.

A RELIGIOUS VIEw.-The New York In.
dependent, which, like all religious papers
views every thing in religious light. has
the following observations on the progress
of the rebellion:
The first movement of the Public Mind in
America was, to suppress rebellion by acting
within the ordinary lines of our Government
and by forbearing to meddle with the institu-
tions of States. This, with the light which we
then had, seemed the wisest course. Events
have made it impossible. There has been a
divine will overruling human wisdom and turn
ing our best counsels to folly. We have been
defeated in every attempt to conciliate the Un-
ion mengof the South. We have been unable
to conduct war in the seeded States without
disturbing the framework Of their economies.
We have been driven, not by any sense of JUS
tice, or from love of human right, out from the
necessities of war, to interfere with the relation
of master and slave.
We have cOnversed at different times
with quite number of piously-incined in
dividuals, who take a somewhat similar
view of the war. They believe it was the
divine will that slavery OH this continent
should be destroyed, and that 10 effect THE
result the Lord stirred up the hearts of the
shareholders to rebellion, thus making them
the principal instruments in the destruction
of the institution to which they are so Ia
natically attached. Others, whose religion
is of somewhat different cast, regard the
rebellion as the special work of the devil.
The former class have faith that the war
will ultimately result in good to the human
race, while the latter. with darker forebod-
ings, regard it as of unmxed evil.
