Special 20 The Evening Telegraph" Sg7
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Star says the mail
steamer Highland Light arrived from City Point
leaving there at eleven O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. On Thursday night the Rebels brought
battery to bear on a working party of ours, who
were throwing up earthworks nearer Petersburg,
and for while sharp cannonading took place.
Our men having brought up "a battery to bear
upon the Rebel battery, the latter was soon
silcnced. subsequently the Rebels took up
new position, and again opened ON the working
party, but finding they could accomplish nothing,
they soon ceased their fire. With this exception
all has been quiet for few days past, but this is
only the preliminary moment of quiet before the
storm.
General Grant never was more hopeful of TAX
! ing Richmond, never was better prepared, and
was never before so near the accomplishment OF
his purpose as at this moment. All this may
seem paradoxical, in view of the Rebel calcula-
tions of creating diversion from Richmond by
their Potomac raid but it is strictly true, as time
will show.
On Wednesday the work of siege operations
against Petersburg WIS so completed that the
men were allowed some respite from their labors
| Tor rev hours
Hon. John Covode, of Pennsylvania, came up
on the Hjghldnd Light, bringing up the body Of
| his son, Colonel @. II. Coyode, 4th Pennsylvania
Cavalry, who was killed while protecting the rear
| of Shoridan's train while crossing the James
river, in the late movement from White House.
On Wednesday night he proceeded within the
Rebel liucs escorted by detail Of fsrty men of
Sheridan'S Cavalry, who. under cover Of gun.
boat detailed for the purpose, landed at st
Mary's, in Charles City county, and avoiding
the Rebel pckets, secured the body.
His body had been inferred by negroes, who
placed boards around the grave. The negroes
state that Colonel Covode fingered all night, and
died in the morning, after being wounded. Be-
fore he died the Rebels took from him his watch
money, and valuables, and then stripped him of
all clothing except his shirt.
Hon. John Covode says that General Grant is
| confident of final success, but that he should
have more troops with which to carry on his
movements. The army was never better sup
piled, and its sanitary condition is very good.
Senators Wade, Wilkinson, and Chandler are
at headquarters, taking a view of the bellige-
rent country around Petersburg.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-WderedS, at the
late session, Congress passed bill "to guaran-
tee to certain States, whose governments have
been usurped or overthrown, a republican
form of government" a copy of which is here
unto annexed; and,
Whereas, the said bill was presented to the
President of the United States for his ap-
proval less than one hour before the sine die
adjournment of said session, and was not
signed by him; and,
Whereds, The said bill contains, among
other things, plan for restoring the States in
Rebellion to their proper practical relation in
the Union, which plan expresses the sense of
Congress upon that subject, and which plan
it Is now thought fit to lay before the people
for their consideration:
Now therefore /, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Pre-
sident of the United States, do proclaim, de-
clare, and make known, that while l am, as l
was in December last, when l propounded
plan for restoration, uprepared by formal
approval of this bill to be inflexibly committed
to any single plan Of restoration, and while l
am also unprepared to declare that the free
State constitutions and governments already
adopted and installed in Arkansas and
Louisiana shall be set aside and held for
naught, thereby repelling and discouraging
the loyal citizens who have set up the same
as to further effort, or to declare a Constitu-
tional competency in Congress to abolish
slavery in States, but am at the same time
sincerely hoping and expecting that Con
stitutional amendment, abolishing slavery
throughout the nation, may be adopted never
theless, 1 am fully satisfied with the
system for the restoration contained
in the bill as one very proper plan
for the loyal people of any State choosing to
adopt it, and that l am, and at all times shall
be 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 sufficiently re-
turned to their obedience to the Constitution
and the laws of the United States, in which
cases military Governors will be appointed,
with directions to proceed according to the
bill.
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
eighth day of July, one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-four, and of the independence
OF the United States the eighty-ninth.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Moseby charged On them and killed ten or
fifteen, and captured nearly the whole party,

horses were well drilled, and of great value to the
Government. Our cavalry had Speucers repeat

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Star says -
A report has reached here that the
Rebels made their appearance last evening
in front of Frederick, and after some
skirmishiug with General Wallace, they entered
and took possession of that place, General Wal
lace being obliged to fall back, the enemy out
numbering him at the time. The force which
entered Frederick is represented to be fifteen
thousand strong, composed of cavalry and
infantry, and some artillery. This infor-
nation comes by passengers by the train
which left Baltimore at ten o'clock this
morning, who heard 1t from parties coming in
from the region around Frederick. Up to the
time of going to press nothing has been heard
here confrmatory of the above, and all give 1t as
one of the runners of the hour.
