the recent proclamation purportng to
have been issued by President Lincoln,
has been arrested and confasses that he
pallncd it off on the journals here. for
gold and stock operations. His name is
stated to be Howard, news paper repor-

Referring to Howard's arrest, the Time
states; He said that he had no other
motive escep. to make little money on
the Stock Exchange. and it never oc-
Cured 10 him that his performance
could produce any more important or
or serious effect. 4 week ago Howard
consulted Mr.. Kent, Of the firm of Kent

for 800 900 more men. Mr.. Kent gave
him his opinion, and consequently Howard
showed him the draft of a proclamation
which he claimed to k,nor through sccrct
channels Of Intelligence at Washington,
,cds about TO be issued.
After the publication in the World and
Journal Of Commerce, Mr. Kent at once
identified the published Proclamation
with the draft Howard had shown him,
and gave information of the circumstan-
ces to Gen. Dix. Howard was arrested
and brought to Headquarters yesterday
afternoon, where he at once made full
acknowledgement Of his agency in the
matter, and exculpated all The newspa-

of the Chicago Tribune anticipates this

Il should have made this statement
public at an earlier day, but l wanted to

dinner With him, and when dinner was
called, Mr.. w. II. Block the clerk of the
boat, went to see that all the ladies were

left out of her seat Mr. Block said to
the Rebel officer that he was in the scat
occupied by lady, and wished him to
take seat at another table. Lieutenant
Murdoch answered that he tthe Rebel)
was there by his (Liettchant Murdoch 5
invitation). Mr.. Block said that he
could not help that, that the lady mist
have her seat.
Lieutenant Murdoch got up and gave
his own seat to the Rebel, but before he
had commenced TO eat, the Platte Valley
was ready to leave, and the Rebel went
ashore, and Lieutenant Murdoch resumed
his sea. at the table. For proof of the

Bombardment OF Charleston.

CORRESPONDENT on board the United
States steamship Fulton. under date May
18th. states that when off Charleston, the
blorkading feet of Admiral Dahlgren was
engaged in terrific 6ght with the Rebel
works on Sullivan's Island, and our bat
teries on Morris Island at the same time
we're Engaged with the Rebel works on
James Island. The engagement was
general and spirited. Our fire was ter
rife and shells exploded profusely over
the Rebel works The New Ironsides
and alt tho Monitors participated in the
fight, besides several wooden gun-boats.
The latest accounts from the Department
of the South states that the Rebel forces
in Charleston and Savannah aud that re-
eion of country have been hurried for
ward, all that could be spared, to the
support Of Lee, in Virginia as that is now
the main point with the Rebels. They
feel that,in the defeat Of Lees Army the
backbone of the Rebellion will be broken
as it no doubt effectually will be in due
time by General Grant No doubt suffi-
Gent force has been left in Charleston to
man the forts and Notifications, and like
wise at Savannah and Mobile, but all the
rest have been withdrawn to prevent. it
possible, tho defeat Of Lees Army and
The downfall of Richmond. This renewed
bombardment of Charleston is new fca-
;. ture in the campaign. and from the pre-
parations and the vigor of the attack we
should moi be surprised to hear, in few
days, of the capture of Charleston. 1t
would be just retribution if that place
should be the first to all in the final strug
gle, as it was the first to open the Rebel
lion.-Philrdelphia Inquirer.
