the abandonment of the design by the
enemy to bring in gunboats from Wallis
Cut, the confidence Of the citizens became
more assured, and tho wisest hoped that
the Fort, which thercupou became the key
and safety Of Savannah, would be able q
detain the enemy Cor an indefinite time
The blop has been sudden and totruy unlook-

enemy will not wait long to attack the bat

ships have entered the river above Pulaski,

THE PRocLAMATIoN.-Commenting on the
Presidents Emancipation proclamation a Cal1
fornia paper says - If the people OF the rebel
States do not see fit to accept of mercy and make
their pease within the next three months, the
most determined conservative in the land must
stultify himself and go bodily over 70 the cause
of treason, or admit the justice and propriety OF
the policy forshadowed by the President. What
would have been laughed at as an idle threat
when the war broke out, and what would at
that time have been an act of doubtful proPriety,
is now a matter susceptible of prompt accom-
plishment, and a policy dictated by humanity
and justified by every consideration for the vel
fare Of the nation. We shall be much disappOint-
ed if the warning does not produce a Wholesome
effect on the misguided people of the South, who
have all along believed that we dare not proclaim
such a policy but if it does not, then we stand
acquitted before the eyes Ct the world. when We
saw, let slavery and false Confederacy, foundation
and superstructure, perish in a common ruin.
We have Iavished patriot blood, and wasted the
wealth of the land long enough, in the endavor
to protect the civil rights and property of rebels
in arms. and we hail with satisfaction the an
nouncement that the time for temporizing with
treason is nearly over"

FKYsS REGIMENT.

We are sorry to see in our correspon-
dcnce and in other Journals, statements
impeaching the Talor Of Col Fry's regi-
lnent, tie 61st Illinois, at Pittsburg. We
know nothing of the facts, except as they
are detailed by the letter writer's; but
whatever the truth in regard to the men,
We can say they were commanded by as
brave an officer as ever drew q sword.
JACOB FRY, whom all our old citizens
know well, and whom almost every man
in the State has heard Of rs the former
Canal Commissioner, and late Collector Of
the Portpf Chicago, is IS gallant gentle
man as there Is in the Federal aTmy. Years
agone, as far back as 1882, when most Of
his command were unborn, he had made
his reputation as 3 fighting man, and We
are sure, though he is now in the sere and
yellow Leaf, he has done nothing to tarnish
it. From the first, he has been enthusias-
tically loyal, and in his county of Greene,
where the South has too many sympathi-
zers, he demonstrated his love of country
by recruiting regiment for the war. His
men were moved from the first camp
straight to the battle field, and when the
fight came of but few days had elapsed
since they had had arms put into their
hands. 1t is perhaps not strange that they
should have been thrown into confusion
when the melee began. Let us not con-
demn them, but give them another chance.
Their Colonel will make them retrieve
their reputation or die in the attempt.

YOUNG xOMAa
In every fight lows bears : distinguished
part. At Wilson's Greek, at Belmont, at
Fort Donclson,f at Pittsburg her gallant
Cons were IN the thickezt Of the fray, Brave,
willing, and with rare power Of endurance,
they have made record for that young
State that will never fade. No where have
her men hltered. No where have they
tailed to claim the post Of danger: they
hnve. claimed ii because It is the post Of
honor. At Donelson the charge of the
Iowa Second was the crowning feat Of the
assault-the one that elected the highest
concentrations from the superior officers.
At Pitbburg, the Iowa regiments engaged
did nobly; and though in the first onset,
parts Of three were surrounded and taken
prisoners they contended against superior
