A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, by the act approved July 4th,
1864, entitled San act further to regulate
and provide for the enrolling and calling
out of the national forces, and for other
purposes" it is provided that the President
of the United States may, at his discretion,
at any time hereafter, call for any number
of men as volunteers for the respective
terms of one, two and three years, for the
military service; and that in case the quota
or any part thereof of any town, township,

or of county not so subdivided, shall not
be filled within the space of fifty days after
such call, the President shall Immediately
order draft for one year to fill such quota,
or any part thereof which may be untitled;
and,
Whereas, the new enrolment heretofore

ing up the strength of the armies i'm the
field, for garrison and such military opera
tions as may be required for the purpose of
the suppression of the rebellion and restor-
ing the authority of the United States Gov
ernment in the insurgent States.
Now, therefore, l, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States, do issue
this, my call, for 100000 volunteers for the
military service. Provided, nevertheless,
that all credits which may be established
under section eight of the aforesaid act, on
account of persons who have entered the
naval service during the present rebellion,
and by credits for men furnished to the
military service in excess of calls hereto
fore made for volunteers, will be accepted
under this call for one, two, or three years,
as they may elect, and will be entitled to
the bounty provided by the law for the pc
riod of service for which they enlist.
And hereby proclaim, order and direct
that Immediately after the 9th day of
September, 1864, being fifty days from the
date of this call, draft for troops to serve
for one year, shall be held in every town,
township, ward of city, precinct, election
district or county not so subdivided, to
fill the quota which shall be assigned to it
under the scale, or any part thereof which
may be untitled by volunteers on the said
5th day of September, 1864.
In testimony whereof, | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at the
city of Washington this 18th day of July,
in the year of our Lord, 1864, and of the in
dependence of the United States, the S9th.

Pursuit. Of the Raiders Abandoned
They Escape with all their
PIunder
[Tribune's Special.l

Ahey ESCAPE with all their
Plumber.
[Tribune's Speciall
WAsHINGToN, July H.-Further pursuit
of the rebel raiders has been abandoned,
and they will probably succeed in reaching
Lynchburg with their plumber in safety,
unless interrupted between Staunton and
Lynchburg. Persons residing near the
Gap, say their train was composed of all
sorts of vehicles, and over mile long, filled
with every variety of plunder. Over seven
thousand head of horses, cattle and mules,
and large drOves of sheep and hogs were
sent through the Gap by the rebels previous
to their retreat, and were pastured in mead
ows along the river until the withdrawal
of the main body commenced, which was
early Tuesday morning.
Several hundred wounded in carriages
and ambulances were brought through the
gap, among them one Brigadier and several
Colonels, besides number of officers of in
feriOr grades. Most of them were wounded
in the battle of Monocacy.
The government has been put in possess
sion of the strength Of the force which in
yaded Maryland. 1t was comprised of in
fantry, cavalry and artillery. The artille-
ry known to have been brought here by the
rebels is one mounted ri1ed battery with
cavalry, and two parks with infantry COL
umns, one of fourteen guns and one of
eighteen. The mounted battery probably
contained six pieces, the others four each.
They would altogether comprise at least
twelve hundred men. Rebel officers have
acknowledged their loss at Monocacy at
over one thousand killed and wounded, and
here at about one hundred, almost all of
them from charge of a brigade of the 9Th
corps The Colonels of the 9th Virginia
and 18th Georgia were killed in this charge.
Marshal Bonifant, Of Md, sent word to-
day to Washington that there was rebel
cavalry force at Newport Mills, this side of
the Potomac.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will be
in running order as far as Wheeling to-
morrow. Only one span of the bridge
across the Shenandoah at Harper's Ferry
was destroyed, and that was replaced be-
fore the enemy had fairly got away.
Paymasters leave here tomorrow with
money to pay off the several brigades in the
I'd and 9TH corps. 0...

CALAIS, Me, July 1S.-At midday to-day
there was an attempt to rob the Calais
Bank by small party of rebel raiders, who
came here from st. John, N. b. Three men
were arrested. The leader of the band is
Collins, a Captain in the 18th Miss. They
