That Hoax.

The other day some Of the New York
papers published a proclamation rurport.
ing to have been issued by Mr.. Lincoln,
and calling for 5000 more men, and ac'
knowledging Grants vigorous campaign
as virtually ended. This proclamation
the Secretary Of War says is q hoax Now,
our opinion is that it was not hoax, but
that the document was actually issued by
Mr.. Lincoln without the advice OF bis
Cabinet, and that as soon as the Cabinets
attention was directed to it, they prevailed
upon Mr. Lincoln to withdraw it. The
on y plausible theory against this position
is the fact that the proclamation contained
more truth shan Mr.. Lincoln is in the
hatt of putting in his official papers,
