The Effects of the Proclama.
ton.

The Amnesty Proclamation is produc-
ing visible effects in the ranks Of the Rebel
armies,-[Cincinnati Commercial.
The only effect ''visible" to our eye is
that of the call for draft Of five hundred
thousand more men to continue the war
and to endeavor to make hesdway against
the Confederate leaders.
But few weeks since, The Tribune had
an editorial leader proving by facts and
fgures-by such facts and such figures
The Tribune can prove anything-thot the
rebellion was "gone up" squelchea out,
ito backbone broken, and all tb at was now
necessary YVES to reap fruits Of the victory.
The proclamation did this work most effec-
tually. The January draft WAS suspen-
ded-no more troops, we were told by the
Administration papers, would be needed, 3,
and peace was again soon to dawn upon
the land. So strong was this belief that
;he war was about to close in a blaze Of
glory, aud Mr.. Seward was apparently 80
sincere in his predictions, that he deceived
Lord Lyons, and that gentleman wrote to
the English Government that the civil war
in the United States would certainly be
over before the end of the next ninety
days Two thirds of that time has al.
ready past, and now the end Of the war
seems indefinitely postponed. Under the
supposed ieauence ofthe proclamation, our
armies went into winter quarters, and all
who could be trusted, were sent home on
furloughs, But,
"The war, which Tor a space did fall,
Now trebIy Numbering swells the gale"
And despite the Amnesty Proclamation
and the prediction OF Abolition papers,
half a million more men are to be dragged
from their families and made to enter the
army, to make good the vantage ground
lost by the terms OF the very Proclama-
sion whch was to give US peace. The
effects the Amnesty Proclamation has
produced and is producing are "yisible,' y
and it will be felt the day the draft is en-
forced, and families left to Starve by being
deprived, by the arbitrary edict Of the
President Of their natural protectors
It's effects in the ranks Of the rebel ar
,aiss" is to strengthen and to encourage
them.

The Reverse i'm FLORIDA.

New York, Feb. 27.-The Express says:
From an officer arrived in the Fulton, we
derive some further particulars of the dis
aster to our forces near Lake City. tar
General Seymour, who commanded the
expedition, had been placed under arrest
by order of Gen. Gilmore. His successor
is Gen. Vodges, who left Hilton Head
Tuesday last with achievements for
Jacksonville, consisting of an entire di-
vision. NJ.
Our information says it was the opinion
Of officers who took part in the expedition,
that our losses In killed, wounded and miss
ing are between twelve hundred and fifteen
hundred. General Seymour is severely CEN
sured in not throwing out scouts and skir-
mishers before our troops advanced. AS 1t
was our troops were led into q trap. Hamil-
toms artillery led the van and suffered
severely. The rebel sharpshooters picked
offtheir horses and the guns had to be aban-
doned. The Fortieth Massachusetts noun
ed infantry have also suffered severely. II
In the retreat many of our wounded were
left behind within the enemy's lines. Our
troops were right in front of the Confeder-
ate batteries, in piece Of woods, before we
were aware of their presence, and when
their batteries opened calling fire ouI
men were driven back panic striken in dis
order. Ks
The rebel force is not known, but It d
supposed to have been large. One of the
prisoners captured stated that troops had
recently been sent down from Charleston
and General Beauregard was In command

CouRT-MARTnL READINGs.-Thc Cincin-
natl Gazette Of yesterday Saturday morn
ing had the following local item in refer
ence to the HURT Court Martial:
'Major Burnett, on the part of the Gov
ernment, yesterday closed the testimony fol
the prosecution in Capt. Hurtt's case, by Sc
lecting some choice readings from the Cap
tain's private correspondence, which was SC
ungraciously captured when he was arrest
ed. The letters read were mostly written
by Capt. HURT to his newspaper partner
the editor of the Ohio State Journal with
two or three replies from the, latter. Mr.
Jackson, one of the attorneys for the de-
fense, masking two weeks time for prepar-
alton, adduced various reasons for the de-
lay, which the court overruled as special
and insufficient, and granted only until
Wednesday morning. The case has been in
progress four weeks, and will continue two
or three more, the defense promising not to
occupy as much time as the prosecution"

The GAS Question.

EDITOR OF THE STATEsMAN:-It Is not
surprising that the action of the City Coun-
Gil In renewing the privilege of the Gas
Company for twenty years from and after
February. 1866, should attract the attention
of the people of Columbus.
The ordinance granting this new privilege
Is published, and, in my judgment, it is a
statute deficient ip many particulars in
guarding the interests Of the people. re-
gard the action of the Councilas premature,
and the ordinance specimen of hasty
legislation, which if still within the power
of the Council should be reconsidered and
the ordinance repealed.
The fact that a new company had pro-
posed to supply the city and its inhabitants
with gas at ten yer cent. less than the price
now paid the existing company, and that
the petition of this new company was on
the evening Of the final action of the Coun-
Gil presented for its consideration, should
have induced the, Council to abstain from
any sudden or hasty action. The new COM
ipany's petition should have had respect
full reception and proper consideration, and
there was nothing in the case that required
hasty action. have no hostility to the
old or partiality for the new company.
would allow both to exist and go into active
competition in the business Of manufacture
ing and supplying Columbus with gas, and
thus destroy any thing like monopoly in
the business. Above all, would not give
a new grant to the old company without
any restraint upon 1t as to the price it might
charge, when a proposition was before the
Council by another company to supply gas
at ten per cent. less than the cost at which
the article is now furnished. Let the Coun-
oil retract It's steps II possible.

TEMPERANcE.-We are requested to state
that Gen. S. F. Cary will deliver an address
upon the subject of Temperance, in some
one of the churches of this city, this even
ing. Notice of the place will be given in
the churches this forenoon.
The General has taken to Politics so much
lately, and has been denouncing Democrats
so often from the stump as ''traitors,n 2 "reb-
el-sympathizers," "copperheads, and SHUT
ternuts, that we fear he will find it diff
cult to confine himself to the old subject Of

must execute the laws, andth at half past
one o'clock he would carry the sentence
into execution, but that II he had anything
to say to the people he could now have the
opportunity. After some little hesitation,
In which he seemed deeply engaged in
thought, Streeter was helped to his feet,
and after wiping his nose and mouth, in a
clear and distinct though not loud voice,
and, as far as we could see, without the
culver OF amuscle, or the least excitement
but as rigidly calm, self-possessed and per-
fectly composed as he had been during all
these trying scenes--trying to the strongest
nerves and stoutest heart-he said
The crime for which have got to die /
am entirely innocent of. May God forgive
those who have wronged me-"
He sat down, his arms were pinioned, the
cap was drawn over his face, and he was
moved upon the fatal trap, still sitting in
his chair. The rope was adjusted around
his neck, but as there were one or two min
utes left of his time, he was allowed it to
commune with his Cod 1t was moment
OF the most agonizing suspense to all. In
one short minute soul would be launched
into eternity-guilty, as all believed, inno-
cent, as he had often reiterated. But the
final moment came at last Il movement of
the lever and the trap flew from under him,
and Frederick +. Streeter, the convicted
treble murderer, was no more.
He fell distance of eight feet, and his
neck was instantly broken. AS he reached
the end of the rope his arms came convul-
siyely to his breast, a few slight movements
of his feet, and life was extinct.
After hanging the time allotted by law,
the body was taken down, put in the coffin,
and given in possession of committee of
fou gentlemen, who were entrusted with
the care of delivering 1t to his mother, who
resides at Chatham Centre.
There were none of his relatives present,
and only his sister in the town. His wife,
we believe, is in GAINESVILLE.
This case is one of the most remarkable
on record. The treble murder, the convic-
ton, the escape and re-capture of the mur-
derer and now his execution, with all the
attendant peculiarities, has created the pro-
foundest sensation in all parts of the coun-
try, and cannot be paralleled in the annals
Of crime on this continent. Streete- was a
wonderful man. With all his sickness and
long confinement in prison, he has shown
himself possessed Of the most unbounded
self-possession, imperturable GOODNESS, and
confidence that nothing seems to ruf1ie.
He has shown the same qualities in his trial,
confinement and execution.

The Occupation of Selmn-Gen
Smiths Cavalry Expedition.

MEMPHIS, Fer. 25.-Arrivals from Vicks-
burg confirm previous reports that Sher-
man had occupied Selma, Alabama. Re-
ports from Gen. Smiths cavalry expedition
are not so good. Several stragglers who
arrived here to-day state that Forrest, Ad-
ans, Lee and Roddy concentrated against
him, and succeeded in forcing him back
fight at West Point, Mississippi. The slow
movements Of Col. Warnings division, con-
sisting mainly of New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania regiments, delayed this expedition
some eight days, giving the enemy time to
concentrate against them. There is a re-
port that Smith is slowly falling back to-
ward Memphis, but the report is not gener-
ally believed, as little credit can be placed
in the statements Of stragglcrs.
