The Sheet Picture Of the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation.

The public will perhaps remember that a
picture Of the Proclamation of Emancipation
was presented to the President, Abraham
noticed by the press at the time as ''splen-
didly executed, and "a finer display or more
tasteful skill in the execution we have never
witnessed" 1t is but justice to say that
the engraving Of this splendid picture is
now completed, and ready for distribution.
No public document-not even the Dec
laration Of Independence-ha been execu-
ted with even an approach to the style in
which this picture of the proclamation is
gotten up. 1t comprises displayed letter
headings, prefacing the whereas" and "pro-
clamation" with SPLENDID display of -four
ishing around the same then follows, in
beautiful engraved hand, proclamation, with
the emphatic words lettered in variety of
styles.
The GROWING glory of the picture, form
ing centre-piece, is an accurate and faith
full portrait of Abraham Lincoln, the author
of the proclamation. There are, besides,
four other appropriate figures.
We propose to make it an object for our
gallant soldiers in the service, or whose
time has expired, and widows of those who
have fallen, to give this picture wide cir
culation. The price of the picture will be
one dollar, but to such as become agents it
will be fifty cents per copy.
To newspapers inserting this notice and
forwarding a paper containing the same
to my address, Immediately upon receiving
it, | will forward the picture free of charge

The Secretary of the Navy reports
the blockade extends over three thou
sand five hundred and forty nine miles,
covers one hundred and eighty zine har-
Dor and river openings, or indentations,
and more than one hundred vessels keep
guard. On the Mississippi the distance
trayersed and patrolled by gunboats is
three thousand six hundred and fifteen
miles, and two thousand miles Of sounds.

Hoes-There were 1872, 900 hogs re-
ceived in the city of Chicago last week
to be slaughtered, The Chicago Tribune
says :-"Only think what a grunting
and squealing l22, 900 hogs. if all put
in one field, would make the confusion
of Babel was nothing in comparison.-
Allowing each hog to measure six feet,
and all strung out in one continuous line,
they would form hog telegraph l40
miles long, and the grunt uttered forth
here would be answered in Kalamazoo
far in advance of the mails and if each
hog were made up into sausages and all
joined together in a continuous line,
they would make $500 miles of bolognas,
enough to grit the continent from San
Francisco to New York, and give besides
a small piece to grace the head of every
beer barrel on the route"

Senator Howe's Proposition.

Senator Howe's joint resolutions in the
U. S. Senate for raising a million of three
months men to march to Richmond and
free the Union prisoners there, appears to
be freely commented an pro and con by the
leading presses of the country Looking at
the subject in all its bearings, the crushed
and broken condition Of the rebellion, the
happy effects of the Amnesty Proclamation
in many parts of the country, and the many
signs of its approaching dissolution, we are
inclined to fall in with the views Of some of
our cotemporaries-ill up the old regiments;
hold fast the advantages already gained !;
seize every opportunity of striking telling
blow; lacerate the revolted districts by cav
airy raids; urge on the recruiting and arm
ing of negro slaves tighten the constric-
ton of the blockade and press forward, if
slowly yet steadily, when the season will
permit, upon the vital points of the insur-
rectien. Though the event would possess
greater eclat. we doubt whether the capture
of Richmond would to-day be Of as much
real advantage as that of Atlanta.

WThere are no schools in Northern
Alabama. Those who can spell out words
enough to read simple newspaper article
are dedicated" while the few who can
sign their own names, though unable to
write anything else, occupy the same sta
tons in society as graduate of Yale Col
lege, who finished his education with three
years travel and study in Europe, does
with US. There is no refinement whatever
among the people ; and yet, they are rather
above the average of poor whites at the
South.

VENl, VIDA, VIcI II vent saw, and
acas conquered.-An old lifelong Democrat,
and violently opposed to the Administration
and its policy, who has been for some time
in the vicinity of Vicksburg and Natchez,
writes letter to the Journal from which we
take the following paragraph. Our readers
will see that there has been quite change
in his views -
Democracy is name dear to every true
patriot but, its principles have been vio-
lated and brutally mangled in the hands of
its friends. Designing men, ambitious and
wrong headed men, have torn up its foun-
dation and cast its superstructure to the
winds and these have been seized upon by
men whose entire qualifications are to create
disorder, disunion and distraction through
out the Union.
Once more, by the Strength, energy and
Incompatible powers of the General Ad
ministration, through the Republican par
i, can, and will the Union be preserved.

GENTLEMEN Il confess to having entertained
prejudice against Reed Instruments before having
heard your American Organ. But, by your meth
Cd of voeins the monotonous, dronng, buzzng sound
has been entirely cured, and in place of it pure,
organ-like tone substituted The action is prompt,
and the tuning is really perfect. If your American
Organs receive the patronage they merit they must
come into very general use.
With regard, trnly yours b. F. BAKER.

Communicated.

Mr.. EDIToR:- Il see by the Farmer that
you have been castigating some Of the would
be Clergymen, who love to be called of men,,
Rabbi, Reverend, &c., for desecrating the
pulpit by harangues on politics and the Al
mighty Niger Now, every man has Il
right to his Politics and Religion in this
Government, but he has no right to take
advantage Of the people when assembled to
Worship, and to hear the Gospel and relig-
ious instruction, to impose his political no
tons upon them. This is discourteous and
unchristian, and a people must be very
much priest ridden who will submit to it
If Preacher wants to make political
speech, let him say so, appoint the time and
place, and the people will know what they
may expect, and not under the pretext OF
loyalty, lJSeudO-patnotlsm or philanthro-
ply seek to Abolitionize or divide churches
Mark them, who cause divisions, says Paul,
and droid them, for they serve not the Lord
Jesus Christ, but their own appetites. =
These men are arrant towards shielding
themselves from replies by taking advantage
of the pulpit. Let such political haran-
guers go to the Court House, when some one
will be after them with argument to demol-
ish their sophistry Dare they do it?
predict that the Abolitionist Preachers of
this town are theological towards, and dare
not discuss either politics or religion with
any competent man before the people. -
They can have the opportunity to their
hearts content, Let them signify it through
the papers, or confess their inability or
cowardice. If they don't like oral discus
sion, let it be through the County papers.
