By THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, the Constitution Of the United
States Of America has ordained that the
privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall
not be suspended, unless when in cases of re-
bellion or invasion the public safety may re
quire it and whereas a rebellion was exist
ing on the third day Of March, 1868, which
rebellion is still existing; and whereas, by d
statute which was approved on that day, it
was enacted by the Senate and House Of
Representatives, in Congress assembled, that
during the present instruction the Presi-
dent of the United States, whenever in his
judgment the public safety may require, is
authorized to suspend the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus in any case throughout
the United States or any part thereof and
whereas, in the judgment of the President Of
the United States, the public safety does re-
quire that the privilege of the said writ shall
now be suspended throughout the United
States, in the cases where, by the authority
of the President of the United States, the
military, naval, and civil officers of the United
States or any of them, hold persons under
their command or in their custody either as
prisoners of war, spies, or aiders or abettors
of the enemy, or officers, soldiers or seamen
enrolled, drafted, or mustered or enlisted in,
or belonging to the land or naval forces of
the United States, OF as deserters therefrom,
or otherwise amenable to military law or the
rules and articles of war, or the rules or regu-
lations prescribed for the military or naval
service by authority of the President of the
United States, or for resisting a draft, or for
any other offence against the military or naval
service:
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi-'
dent of the United States, Dc. hereby proclaim
and make known to all whom it may concern,
that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus
is suspended throughout the United States,
in the several cases before mentioned, and
that this suspension will continue throughout
the duration of thosaid rebellion, or until this

officers and others in the military and naval
service of the United States, to take distinct
notice of this suspension, and to give it fall
effect, and all citizens Of the United States to
conduct and govern themselves accordingly,
and in conformity with the Constitution Of
the United States and the laws Of Congress,
in such cases made and provided.
In testimony whereof, hereuntQ set my
hand and cause the seal of the United States
to be affixed, this fifteenth day of September,

SERVING THE STATE.

The Union men of Delaware must bear
In mind that the copperheads and seces-
sionists charge them with ignoring States
rights IN toto, which is false. The Gov
eminent of the United States, headed hy
Mr.. Lincoln, have no such plank to stand
on, and will have it not. No more has the
Union party any such design or desire.
Even questionable State rights have been
allowed free sway under the present just,
honest and equable Administration. More
than this, even the party rights have been
acknowledged in the so-called Democ-
racy' for the sake of unity and fraternal
cooperation in saving the country, while
the Union party itself has ignored every
thing but the cause Of our country.
This simple statement, bearing we'll
known truth upon the face, should make
every man a true American but there
are some persons, who call themselves men
in this State, as in others, who have not
had the light of truth struck into them, and
they will continue to vote what they sup
pose is the Democratic ticket" even if
the candidates were composed of murder
ers and thieves, Gas often happens) with
cold Nick" at the head of it,
These miserable copperheads are not
satisfied with having all the just rights Of
the State vouchsafed to and allowed her
by the National Government, but they set
up their own code of State rights like the
secessionists Of the South, in opposition to
our excellent Government, with view of
destroying it. 1t is to stem this current
of madness and treason in our State that
we are laboring in the Union party. It
is because we know our little State will
soon reap great advantages from her strong
Union position, that we invite our people
to rally around the old flag. once more at
the ballot-box, and there by decided
vote, crush the sophistical principles and
their authors into oblivion forever. We
are soon to have an election in our State
very important one. The whole of the
loyal population Of the United States are
looking forward to this election with
great deal of hope and expectancy. People

Bread Riot at NTobiIe. Ala.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 14.-Refugees, who have
lately arrived within our lines, bring exciting
reports of the terrible condition of affairs in
the South.
One man, who left Mobile on the 9Th, states
that terrible riot broke out among the
soldiers wives at Mobile on the 4th. About
six hundred women and children collected on
Spring Hill, armed with clubs and hatchets.
and marched through the principal streets,
carrying banners, on which were inscribed
Bread or Blood |" "Bread or Peace p etc.
Being soldiers wives their proceedings
were winked at by the soldiers, who made
but feeble resistance. Stores were broken
open and forcibly entered. One merchant, a
Jew, struck one of the women, when some
policemen, who were present, arrested the
Jew, and beat him severely. Many citizens
had left town, among.whom was our inform
ant, who says the riot was increasing when
he left. ~

THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.
The BOmbardment of SuIIivan's
island.


The New York Times correspondent writes
on the 9th: The bombardment of Fort
Moultrie, Fort Beauregard, and other works
on Sullivan's Island was commenced in earn
est by the iron-clads last Monday, and prose-
cuted with fearful vigpr. For three success
sive hours those works were subjected to
fire as fierce, rapid, and destructive as the
vessels engaged could possibly make it.
The bombardment was opened at about
O'Clock z, M. The Ironsides took a position
affording favorable range for Moultrie, and
the monitors drew up off points on Sullivan's
Island, so as to attack the batteries on tie
rebel left. Five monitors were engaged
The other monitor, Passaic, did not 90 up. in
consequence of some portion of her machinery
having been disordered the day previous.
The rebels replied from all their batteries
on the island, with a within not inferior to
that of the iron-clads. At six O'Clock P. M.
the rebel works showed evident signs of weak
ness, and half hour later three of the small
batteries were silenced. Moultrie, to which
the Ironsides directed her fire particularly,
was damaged to such an extent that not more
than half the number of guns were in use at
the time the vessels hauled off.
The monitor Weehawken got aground
Monday afternoon, at point close in to
Moultrie, where she remained until yesterday
afternoon. The accident, however, did not
prevent her from using her guns with quite
as much effect as she could have done if per
fectly free. At 10 A. NJ, yesterday, one of
her shots penetrated service magazine in
Moultrie, causing terrific explosion. 1t was
thought at first the general magazine had
been ignited, so great was the concussion.-,
The shell shot upward in a-continual stream,
then exploded, scattering the fragments in
every direction. The spectacle was grand,
yet fearful. The dense volume of smoke that
was evolved rose up in the form of huge,
magnificent cone, then gradually disappeared,
revealing a gap in the sea wall of the fort
Seventeen men were killed, and several
wounded, according to the statement of con-
trabands that came in th% morning. All
that was done by the monitor aground. The
fire from the vessels and other batteries on
land was but momentarily interrupted on ac-
count of the explosion, ssh as-g, .na.
AT IL A. M. the cannonading had reached
its fereest point. The guns of the vessels
were worked as fast as the men could handle
them. This tremendous fire was kept up for
an hour, when it was slackened to some OK
tent to allow the guns to cool. 4
In the afternoon Moultrieville was fred by
a shell. A dozen houses were burned before
the fire was extinguished. At night the
vessels hauled off. None of the iron-clads
were seemingly injured.

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

A Reconnaissance IN FoRcE--GEN. PLEAsAN-
TON CAPTURES GUNS AND PRISONERS.
We learn that Mr.. Crounse, the reliable
and graphic correspondent of the New York
Times with the army of General Meade, has
transmitted to the bureau of that paper in
this city the intelligence, in effect, that the
corps of Ewell and Hill, recently encamped
between the RapiGan and Culpeper G. H.,
have fallen back, and are now at Gordonsville,
about twenty-five miles south of Culpeper,
and thirteen miles from the Rapidan, at least,
if not still nearer Richmond.
1t is evident from this that the two corps
are being used to reinforce Beauregard and
Bragg, as has been suspected for sometime
past Mr.. Crounse also informs the bureau
that early yesterday morning heavy recon-
noissance was made to ascertain the enemy's
position and positive strength, the force con-
sisting of all arms, heavy enough for any
emergency. General Meade issued an order
previous to the movement that no correspon-
dent or civilian should, under any eonsidera-
ton, be permitted to accompany the expedi-
tion,
Late last night we learned from gentle
man who arrived from Culpeper that can
nonading had been heard for several hours,
and later news reached us that General
Pleasanton reached position during yester-
day about four miles. beyond Culpeper, after
heavy skirmishing with the enemy. The I'd
Army Corps are at Culpeper, having captured
number of cannon and prisoners Kash-

EXTRAORDINARY SUIcIDE.-A, London pa
per states that recently suicide of a strange
character was committed by a woman named
Wallace, wife of Mr.. William Wallace, a
farmer, residing near Weston-super-Mare.-
From what was afterward gathsred from the
statement of the dying woman, it appeared
that shortly after her husband left home she
dressed herself in gown, walked down
stairs, got light, deliberately set herself on
fire, and then walked out into the garden,
where she was so shockingly burnt that her
death occurred the same evening. The de-
ceased was of somewhat weak intellect and
had latterly been laboring under strange de-
lusions. ...
