DURNSIDE'S GRAND PROC.
.. .d. ,LAMATION.

Below, our readers will find a
proclamation, sent forth by Gener-
al Burnside, whose headquarters
are III Cincinnati. The thing is
recommended to us by the Eaton
Register. So then, VIC are not at
liberty to obey the simple dictates
ofourconscience, butmust, whether
right or wrong, do just as we are
commanded by General Burnside.
Very well, we will do so, and thus
prove ourself obedient TO the law
and order of the American new dis
pensation, and keep very quiet and
let the wal and our great and brave
generals alone. Our Democratic rca-
ders need not any longer look for
any comments upon war matters
in the Press. We can devote our
time now to other subjects. Posi-
bly, we may write a short history
of the war and its lessons, and pub
lish our book in a country where
neither President Lincoln, nor Cen
eral Burnside can ever attempt to
dictate to free white men in the
freest nation in the world. We have
gained nothing by our having come
to America, but in the short space
of three years we have lost much,
and are losing daily our little all.
If the Democrats Of Preble are
true to their order and principles,
they must be at some more trouble
and expense to defend them, than
they have ever yet been; otherwise
they must honestly avow their UNI
Willingness and lnablllty to defend
them. Thus the great party contest
will at once become reduced to the
simple question of, on what prnci-
pie is the country-that is the Uni
ted States-to be governed, and by
whom. We have our own private
opinion and views ofall that is pas
sing in America, and humble as
they are, they will come to light
some o thesc days in a shape and
order which neither General Burn
side nor President Lincoln, can in.
terfere with. "Woe to the land,
when the king is a child.

THE REGIMENTS AND BATTERIES

RETURN OF nEsERrERs.-- 1t APP
pears that only two hundred and
twenty dcscrtors have aTailed theml
selves of the proclamation to re-
turn to the army. This leaves the
whole $4,000 to be tried and shot,
as soon as callght, as we were told
the shooting would begin immcdi-
ately af the lst instant. Another
statement says that desyIttCc.!s have
peen forwarded from different por-
tions of the country to the army al
the rate ofhfteen hundred per day.
If this ratio is continued it is
thought hat one half of the absen-
tees will be back by the middle Of
the month, while some members
of Congress have been informed
that the return Of desertcrs so rap,
idly will postpone the CONSUMPTION
much longer than was anticipa-
ted.

No more negro regiments are to be

a woeful discount, and will be here.

Wehave been permitted to see a

man in this city, from a correspon-
dent in Nassau, which states that,
on an average, two vessels a day
arrive. in that place loaded with
cotton. BY somcs means they com

that there must-be some d%oreliction

are done. The writer, moreover,
says that many people in Nassau
state openly that some o folr otliI
