Mr.. Lowry, of Erie, introduced the fol-
lowing:

! Proclamation of the President of the
United States for releasing the Slaves

Whereas, the Rebels have generally
used their slaves, either as producers, la
borers, or c,mbatants, against the Uuion;
And whereas, Rebels have 10 constitutional
or legal rights under a Constitution aud
Laws which they have repudiated, and seek
to destroy; Aud whereas, in time of war
civilized nations have always converted to
their own use the resources of an enemy,
as an act of right and policy; therefore,
Resolved by the Senate aud House of
Representatives of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met,
That the loyal citiz ms of Pennsylvania
approve the Proclamation of President

Horrible Crima.

A serious riot occurred in Detroit one
Friday, begun BY some rowdies who
attempted to siezs from military escort a
negro who was being taken from Court to
Jail, after conviction Of an outrage upon q
white girl. The rowdies we're driven off,
but afterwards made a furious assault
upon all the colored people in tho city,
burning up their houses and killing some
persons. The riot was suppressed by the
military, but is liable to break out at any
moment. There we're 80 houses destroyed
and 200 people deprived of their homes, a
dozen or more being mans'ed. The guilty
man is almost white. This horrible stain
upon our country's fame is natural con-
sequence of the spirit of hatred fomented
by Rebel emissares, against poor colored
people, who are all loyal to the Union.
Oue woman who came to her front door
with child in her arms was driven back
into the burning house
Addenda-It seems that Faulkner the
criminal for whom the outrage was perpe-
trated, is not a negro, after all. He is
dark colored, but has straight hair aud
blue eyes, and claims to be Spanish In
dian. He has never associated with
negroes-never admitted them to bis
saloon-always exhibited great hostility
to them. He has been registered voter
in the third ward of Detroit, and always
voted the Dem ncratic ticket.

rm-We tiud the following compliment
tary aud We believe truthful notice in the
Harrisburg Telegraph {:


Several respectable gentlemen have been
proposed through your columns for the Office
OF Superintendent of Common Schools in the
State. Allow me 10 add The name of Hon.
Henry e. HIckok TO the list. Under his re-
cent administration of that Office, our educa
tional system for the masses received a
greater impetus, in efficiency and popularity,
than during any similar period OF lime since
its inception. His was a transition period,
full Of The most anxIoUs cares and Onerous
responsibilities, requiring man of peculiar
qualities 10 meet and mould every obstacle.
The time and energy devoted 10 the emergen.
cy by Mr.. Hlckok-not only IN tie executive
duties of the department at home, and
the medItations of private hours, but also
in travelling, by night and by day, over near
ly every county in the State, addressing
(often when hardly able 10 stand) scores of
the largest and most intelligent AUDIENCES
cannot be readily estimated, but we're most
timely and valuable in placing the system
upon a solid and unchanging basis. Although
MIR Hickok's reappointment was urged by
those best acquainted with our common schools
and with his merits, Gov. Packer saw fit 10
bestow the honor upon one Of his political
friends. Justice to the man, and Difference
10 the wishes of those most identified with
the system, point to Mr.. Hickok as the one
who should be restored to a station he so well
and acceptably filed. As 10 the great ques-
ton of the day, he is for crushing the rebellion
and restoring The supremacy Of The General
Government without cavil, equivocati"n or
reservation and whatever incidental in
luence the Office might exert under his care,
you'd be in the right direction. UNION.
