The second morning out brings the
steamerfe point where the Missouri
has been playing some of its wild, though
common, freaks, iRsthe way of changing
the channel The old channel, far
round to the right, is almost dry, and the
main channel just across, low, sandy
islet, is filed with. forest of snags,
whilst the river at the last June flood
engineered and dug out new course
right through the projecting bottom
The pilot being man of quick pereep-
ton and good common sense, sees at
once the new and only practicable chan

81 see it all, Captain, but there is no
water in those channels for skiff, much
less steamboat That outside channel
is called Yankee bend, from a man of
that name who has plantation over
there. Right in the middle of it is
huge fiat rock, which the boys named
Plymouth rock. 1t does very well in
high water, but, at the present stage
there is no use in attempting that chute
The main, middle channel, that used to
be, where you see thousand snags
sticking up likesso many woolly heads,
is called Niggerhead run, and FIVE min
utes run on that tack would end our voy-
age. The niggerheads would all be safe
enough, but your boat and cargo would
be at the bottom of the river. In this
new channel, which is not yet fairly
washed out, we may fnd shoal water,
and have to spar out; but l will bring
you out all right"
The Judgment and decision of the pilot
are justified by the event; and, ON the
safe arrival of the steamer in port, the
railing and cursing of the supercargo
are changed to blessing and gratitude

ed | congratulate you on your good
fortune in meeting this vessel which has
so long avoided the fastest ships and
some of the most vigilant and intelligent
officers of the service, and for the ability
displayed in this combat you have the
thanks of this Department You will
please express to the officers and crew
of the Kearsarge the satisfaction Of the
government at your victory over ves-
sci superior in tonnage, superior in num-
Der of guns and superior in number OF
men, in a battle SO brief-a victory so
decisive. ~
The Alabama represented the best

crew were generally recruited in Great
Britain, and many of them having re-

Maiesty's gunncry ship. The Kearsarge
was one Of the first gunboats built ut
our navy yards, at the commencement Of
the rebellion, and lacks the improve
ments Of the vessels now under cOnStruc-
ton. The principal guns composing
her battery had never been previously
tried in an exclusively naval engage
ment, yet in one hour you succeeded in
sinking your antagonist thus fully end
ing her predatory career, and killed
many of the crew, without injury to the
Kearsarge or the loss of a single life on
your vessel.
The President has signifed his inten-
ton to recommend that you receive q
vote of thanks, in order that you may
be advanced to the rank of Commodore.
1t. Commander James s. Thornton, ex-
ecutive officer of the Kearsarge will be
recommended to the Senate for advance

New YORK, July 8.
One Of the crew of the Alabama, in
statement, after detailing an account of
the fight, says: The prisoners were pa
rolled, and went to the rebel agent and
got the pay due them, (the first regular
payment they had had,) and were dis
charged from the rebel service. All they
ever got was little liberty money two
or three times. They have been heavily
fined by court martial, and punished for
trivial offences. Whenever a prize was
taken, the officers got all the good
clothes, eatables and drinkables, and the
men severely punished if they touched
anything. Tons of good provisions had
been sunk rather than give it to the
men in place OF those of the poorest DIES.

by the captain for ship use. All cap

Proclamation by the President.
WAsn1NnroN. July 0.

WASHINGTON, July 0,
WAreds, The late session OF Congress
passed bill to guarantee to certain
States whose governments have been
usurped or overthrown, republican
form of government, copy Of which is
hereunto annexed, and
Whrsas, The said bill was presented
to the President of the United State for
his approval less than one hour before
the size de adjournment OF said session,
and was not signed by him, and
Whereas, Said bill contains, among
other things, plan for restoring the
States in rebellion to their proper prac-
teal relations in the Union, which plan
expressed the sense of Congress upon
that subject, and this plan it is now
thought fit to lay before the people for
their consideration,
Now, therefore, l, AbrahamLincoln, Pres
ident OF the United States, do proclaim
declare and make known, that while
am as | was in December last, when by
proclamation | propounded plan for
restoration, unprepared by formal APP
proval of this bill to be inflexibly COM
mitted to any single plan of restoration,
and while | am also unprepared to declare
that the free State constitution and gov
ernment already adopted and installed
in Arkansas and Louisiana, shall be set
aside and held for nought, thereby re-
pelling and discouraging the loyal citi-
zens who have set up the same as to
further effort, or declare constitutional
competency in Congress to abolish
slavery in the states, but am at the same
time sincerely hoping and expecting that
constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery throughout the entire Union,
may be adopted. Nevertheless, ! am
fully satisfied with the system of resto-
ration contained in the bill, and the
very proper plan for the loyal people of
any state choosing to adopt it; and that
am at all times prepared to give the
executive aid and assistance to any such
people so soon as the military resistance
to the United States shall have been
suppressed in any such State, and the
people thereof shall have sufficient
ly returned to the obedience of the Con-
stitution and the laws of the United
States in which case Military Govern
Ors will be appointed, with directions
to proceed according to the bill.
In testimony whereof, have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed Done
