Effect Of the Proclamation.


The North Carolina Times, spirited lit
tie Union paper published at Newberne,
contains the following editorial remarks in
reference to the effect the Presidents Am
nesty Proclamation is having throughout
the Rebel domain. 1t says.
Some of the rebel papers at Richmond
pretend to be very indignant and greatly ex-
asperated at President Lincoln recent Proc
lamation. They talk most pompously, and
threaten and storm more furiOusly than ever.
The cause, however, for all this impotent
rage is too plain and patent for concealment.
The Proclamation is terrible blow to their
already desperate and waning fortunes. In
vain may they attempt to hide the fact that
this document will have most marked eff
feet throughout the length and breadth of
rebel dominion. Its natural tendency is to
kindle hope and resolution in the minds of
tens of thousands who still love the old flag
and really desire to come back under the
protection of the National Government.
The new oath of Loyalty which the Pres
ident has suggested seems to act with pow
erful effect. 1t is a sort of trumpet call to
thousands of men who have been almost ready
to sink with despair. Those who have here
tofore been filed with doubt and timidity,
now come boldly forward and take an open
stand for the Union Many come ten and
twenty miles to take this binding oath and
they depart with the fixed resolution to
stand by our flag hereafter, with mistaken
resolution
While our armies in the field have been
striking powerful blows for freedom and the
right, it is through the influence of such
documents put forth at the right time, that
a still greater success, if possible, may yet
be achieved

The Japanese Difficulties


BY the last adyices from Japan the trou-
bic between that country and our diplomatic
representative had been settled by the pay
ment of indemnity to the United States by
the Tycoon, for the attack on the steamer
Pembroke. The British and French Gov
ernments are, however, preparing for war
against the Daimios, who really rule the
country, aud who seem to be waglng civil
war with the Tycoon. 1t is probable that
the European allies consider this an opportu-
nifty to take advantage of in order to punish
the Daimios. Unless civil strife divides the
Japanese, the allies will find some tough
work before them, separated as they are
from England and France, and having all
their troops to transport thousands of miles.
The Tycoon, it is said, can raise 100, 900
men, and the Daimios SOS, 900 more They
are well versed it the art of European wa,
and have supplied themselves with Euro
pean arms, and some of their fertresses
mount several hundred cannon. 1t willtake
a large naval and land force to make any im-
preston on people so well able to defend
themselves, and we may consider ourselves
fortunate in having settled our troubles
without the necessity of war. If England
and France have money to waste in that way
