.ProcIamafion by Gov. SEYMOUR.

ALBANY, Nov. 2.--Gov. Seymour has is
sued the following proclamation
In a few days the citizens of this country
are to exercise their constitutional duty of
electing a President and Vice President of
the United States. AT time when the con-
dhion ofOur country excites the deepest
interest, the questions of the day not only
affect the personal welfare of all and the
happiness of their homes, but are also of a
character to arouse the passions and lead to
angry controversies between parties. The
existence of civil war and the assertion of
the right of military commanders in some
sections of our country to interfere with
the elections have caused painful and ex-
citing doubts in the minds of many with
regard to the free and uninterrupted exer-
else OF the elective franchise.
|, therefore, appeal to men of all political
parties, to unite with those holding official
positions, in their efforts to allay undue cx-
citement soften the harshness of party
prejudices and passions, and to avoid al
measures and language which tend to strife
or disorder. However we may differ in our
views of policy, we are alike interested in
the maintenance of order, in the preserva-
ton of the rights and the promotion of the
prosperity of our State. While we do not
argue as to the methods by which these
ends are to be gained, they are earnestly
sought by all. 1t is certain they cannot be
reached by angry controversies, unreason-
able suspicious or disorderly actions
There are no well grounded fears that the
rights OF the citizens of New York will be
trampled upon at the polls. The power of
this State is amply prepared to protect all
classes in the free exercise of their political
duties. The public authorities will be up
held by good citizens of all parties. There
is no reason to doubt that the coming
election will be conducted with the usual
quiet and order.
Sheriffs of counties, and all other officers
whose duty it is to keep the peace and pro-
tect our citizens, will take care that every
voter shall have free ballot in the manner
secured to him by the constitution and laws.
1t will be their duty to see that no military
or other organized force shall be allowed to
show themselves in the vicinity of the
places where elections are held, with any
view of menacing or intimidating citizens
In attendance thereon. Against any such
interference they must exercise the full
force of the law, and call forth, if need be,
the military power of their district.
In witness whereof, | have hereunto
signed my name and affixed the privy seal
of the State, at the city of Albany, this I'd
day of November, 1864.
[Signedl HORATIO SEYMOUR,
Governor of New York.

New YORK, Nov. 2.-Per the steamer Ea-
gle, we have Havana dates of the 18th, and
Vera Cruz of the 23d. The reported occu-
patton o. Matamoras by Mejia, and adhe-
sion to the Empire by Cortinas, is confirm
ed. A severe earthquake occurred on the
Sd ult., destroying a church and the ecclesi-
astical court room at Laxcula, and damag-
ing other buildings. There were hut few
deaths. Damages were also sustained at
San Nicolas, Kabaga and other places. A
waterspOut fell on the city of Monte Alto,
flooding the streets and surrounding coun-
try, and doing much damage.
The Estate says some forty persons have
been arrested in the city of Mexico as con-
spirators.
1t is said Diego, at Varez, of the State of
Guerro, is about to join Maximillian; also
that Juarez has crossed the desert San Carlos
into Chihuaha.
Yellow fever was still raging at Calves
ton and Houston. Among the deaths were
Gen. j. NJ. Howes, DIR. Sirius, just from Mo-
bile, and Rev. j. M. Gosborn.
1t was reported that the pirate Semmes
arrived in Havana in the English packet
Solont, under the name of Smith.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.--An official rec
ORD OF the court martial cases has been pub
llshed. The list embraces one Colonel, one
MAJOR twenty-five Captains, twenty-five
ist Lieutenants, twenty I'd Lieutenants, two
Surgeons and one Chaplain. They were
convicted ofvariOus offences, including neg
lect Of duty, embezzlement, and twenty
five for drunkenness while on duty. The
larger number of these officers were dis
missed the service.
Lieutenant Cushing has arrived here,
bringing with him the official report of the
particulars attending his destruction of the
rebel ram Albemarle. This relieves all the
sounds of North Carolina from floating en-
emies, and leaves them free to the opera
tions of our fleets. Lieutenant Cushing is
citizen Of and was appointed from New
York. He is satisfied that large number
of lives must have been lost by the blowing
up, as the Albemarle's guns were all mann
ed. The Secretary of the Navy will rec
ommend Congress to give Lieutenant Cush-
ing vote of thanks, and he will be promo
ted to Lieutenant Commander.
Contracts for $4,000 bbls of flour were
awarded to-day by the Commissary Depart
men, at from $l2 80 to $l2 So.

Another Reliable Gentleman.

New YORK, Nov. 2.-Letters from Beau
fort n. c., of the 2Sth ult., state the recent
warm weather had developed eight new
cases of yellow fever in Beaufort on that
day.
DR.. j. w. Ross, a clergyman in North
Carolina, arrived here to-day direct from
Raleigh. He says the entire State of North
Carolina, as well as Georgia, is alive with
rebel deserters, who i'm most cases are armed
and organized and abundantly able to pro-
tect themselves. In the western part of the
State they reign supreme. They not only
make repeated raids ON the wealthy planters
and rebel depots for supplies but give pro-
lection to runaway slaves, who are also
armed and accompany these bands of de-
serters in their raiding expeditions. The
rebel authorities, says DIR. Ross. have
given up all hopes of forcing their men
back into the ranks, having been repulsed
in all their efforts to this end. Every expe-
dition fitted out for this purpose by the
rebels has proved a failure; those who were
not killed deserted to the insurgents, whose
numbers are continually increasing. jeff
Davis said, when in Raleigh, the deserters
OF the Confederate army Outnumbered the
Confederate soldiers in the field.
The extensive conspiracy recently brought
to light at Raleigh duplicates many prom
inent officers of the conservative party, who
now openly threaten to lead these DESERT
ers and their friends, and take possession of
the State government of North Carolina and
all the railroads, in the eveut Gov. Vance
fails to institute at once separate State ac-
ton for peace with President Lincoln.
The Doctor says it is now apparent to the
rebel authorities that Gen. Grant has been
affording facilities to Gen. Lee to receive
his reinforcements, when Grant, by sudden
spring of his trap, will close up the last
gap and Oblige Lee to capitulate. This,
Governor Vance says, is Grants plan, which
has given jeff Davis much concern, who is
in favor of evacuating Virginia altogether,
having repeatedly implored Lee to do so,
and not incur the risk of the capitulation
of his army. This was told to DIR. Ross
just before leaving, by an aid on Governor
Vance's staff. ,.s>e .-.a

Steamer Sunk ON the NHississippi.-
Hunting GuerrilIas.

CAIRO, Nov. 2.-The steamer Universal,
bound up, struck a snag and sunk fifty miles
above Memphis Sunday. Four or five pas
sengers and the same number of rebel pris-
oners were drowned. Seventy-five rebel
prisoners from Vicksburg were on board,
twelve of whom, including Captain, es-
capped. The remainder were brought up on
the Belle st. Louis and forwarded to Chica-
go. The Universal is total loss. Two
thousand barrels of pork belonging to the
Government were among her cargo.
Two hundred Federal cavalry recently
sent across the river from Memphis to hunt
guerrillas, came upon a small force near
Marion and captured thirty. Two miles
beyond Marion they came upon six or eight
hundred rebels, and after some skirmishing
our force fell back to the river, followed by
the enemy, when they were driven back in
confusion by gunboat. A number of pris-
oners and horses were captured by our
forces.

EDITORS OF THE ONO STATESMAN:
DEAR SIRs Il wish to manifest nv ap-
preciation OF the prompt and honorable
manner in which the business of the Home
Insurance Company of Columbus, Ohio, is
conducted, by calling the attention of my
fellow citizens to their straightforward
dealing with Inc. Many are aware that
insured my house with them last July, for
$500, and that it canght fire on the 18th
inst. sent the Company notice, which
they received on Friday, the 2lst inst, and,
as the General Agent had just gone to
Brown county to settle another loss, the
Secretary, not wishing to have the matter
deferred so long as to await his return,
came down here himself, on Monday, the
4th inst, and, without delay, adjusted and
paid my loss in full to my entire satisfac-
tion.
wish you to give these lines a promi-
nent place in your columns, believing them
worthy our entire confidence and patron
age, and, being located near us, 1 deem it
our duty and tor our interest to give them
the preference over those companies that
are located in other States, for the same
reason that we give, in other branches of
business. the preference to our own State
institutions, that by keeping our money in
the State, we increase its wealth.
Wishing the Home" of Columbus, the
success they evidently merit, remain,
Respectfully yours,

BELFAST, Me-, Nov. "A dispatch to the
Mayor of this city, from Castne, gives the
particulars of the attack upon the battery
at that town on Monday. AT midnight a
small party of men approached from the
rear, and when challenged Immediately
fired upon the sentinel, who returned the
fire. Sergt. Ramsdell was fired upon as he
came out his quarters Four balls lodged
within two feet of him. The garrison mus
tered promptly and pursued the raiders for
at least half mile, firing upon them and
escaped. Tie object, it is supposed was to
capture the United States cutter, lying in
the harbor.
This city has been put into state of de-
fense by an order from Gov. Cony. The
Home Guards are in readiness for duty, and
the city government has increased and
armed the police. .....rt.. .......i o..

INSURANCE CONFERENCE.-The Home In
surance Company of this city is gaining a
reputation of which its officers may be
justly proud, and testimonials as to its
thorough reliability and promptness reach
us from all parts of the State. Below we

which speak more favorably in Its praise

EDITORS ONO STATESMAN:
DEAR SIRs--As Insurance Is a subject
that is being much discussed, and one In
which we are all Interested, wish, as
citizen and property y-holder, to make few
observations through the medium of your
most useful paper, to my fellow-citizens,
relative to the Home Insurance Company
of Columbus, Ohio. st1.ugiaig Ig. sI
My main reason for calling the attention
of your numerous readers to this Company,
at this time, Is, to acknowledge my appre-
ciatiOn of their prompt and fair manner of
doing business, and the honorable way In
which they settled and paid me my loss on
my property which was insured in said
Company for $4,000. My loss occurred the
2lst day of September, 1854. My proofs
were made out, and sent to the office of the
Company, and their General Agent, Mr..
Alex. III. Hauley, called on me, and paid me
my loss In full TO my entire satisfaction.

man may readily see by an examination) |;
and again, because it was Home Company

The KNABE PIANo.-Among the list of
premiums awarded at the Illinois State Fair,
just closed at Decatur, we observe that the
Knabe Piano has taken the front rank, thus
again attesting to Its wonderful popularity,
and adding another star to its crown OF
glory. No exertion was made, by way of
sending to the Fair elaborately finished and
handsomely carved instruments, but mere
ly few ordinary samples, such as are sold
daily from the warehouses, were on eXhibi-
ton, and the first premium was therefore
awarded by an impartial jury, solely upon
their intrinsic merit. The instrument
which took the premium was similar to the
one intended for the Ohio State Fair but
which failed to arrive in time to be exhibit
ed. The Knabe instrument is recognized
on all sides as the best piano made in any
country. John Seltzer, at the State Street
Music Store, is the agent for the piano, and
has now on hand several magnificent speci-
mems, equal to the one which took the pre-
MUM at the Illinois State Fair.
