PROCLAMATION.
Executive OFFICE,

am advised by numerous letters from
sources deemed reliable, that large mum.
bers o: men qualified for military duty,
are preparing to depart at an early day,
beyond the Missouri 1t is useless to
disguise the plain object of this sudden
hegira westward, in the midst of winter,
and mouths in advance of the season at
which vegetation appears on the plains
None other than reasons Of most ex.
traordlnary character, could induce men
to leave comfortable homes in the III idst
OF plenty, at season so uDproptous, to
incur the prvations incident to jour
ney across an unsettled and barren coun-
try. Men who are capable of an under
taking SO arduous, anl able to delve in
the gold mines Of Colorado, Nevada, aud
Idaho would make excellent material for
filling up the wasted ranks of the Union
army. Such men are abundantly able to
shoulder their muskcts and perform sol.
diers' duties.
The imperative demands of the public
service are paramount to all private or
personal considerations. While men are
required from Iowa, to supply the Army,
we have none to spare for gold hunting
in the Rocky Mountains, or the valleys
beyond. Those who have so far, during
this great struggle, avoided the stern de-
mands of patriotic duty, and now attempt
to skulk away, cannot be allowed to leave
the State until our obligations to the
General Government are fully and hon
orably discharged.
If this unreasonable departure be
prompted by solicitudc to avoid the
impending draft, their purpose can be
more honorably accomplished by remain
ing at home, using the necessary means
and exerting their influence to iduce
others to volunteer, or by volunteering
themselves.
Believing that gross injustice would
be done to our earnest and patriotic citi-
zens, both at home aud in the field, by
allowing this exodus to take place, and
that the necessities Of the occasion re-
quire this Intervention. | HEREBY FOR.
BID all citizens of Iowa removing beyond
the limits Of the State, before the 10th
day of March next.
Provost Marshals will be instructed by
proper authority to CO operate with me
IN making this Proclamation effective;
and military commanders along the Mis-
souri,, are respectfully requested to place
sufficient guards Of soldiers at all the
crossings of that river, between Leaven-
worth and Sioux City, to enfore its prop.
er execution.
No person will be permitted to leave
the State, in that direction, without
proper pass from the Provost Marshal of
the District in which he claims to reside;
and passes will be granted to those only
who make satisfactory proof that they
are going out of the State for Temporal
ny purpose, and of their intention to ,e.
turn aud be in the State on the said 10th
day Of March. w. NJ STONE.

HJ- The Catholic Telegraph says that
members of that denomination who, with.
in few months, would not even think
on the subject of abolition, are now most
anxious for its success, and their good
sense is convinced that the worst use
you can put human being to is to make
him slave. The Telegraph favors a
constitutional amendment abolishing sla.
very in all tho Union.

4 New Way of Expressing Contempt.

There must have been a remarkable
change of opinion in Bradford county,
Pennsylvania, within a few years. Not
long ago, when the Bank of Pottstown
issued its five dollar notes, James Blu
chanan was so popular there that his por.
trait was engraved upon one corner of
the bill, and nobody thought of defacng
it in the remarkable style that has pre-
vailed since the beginning of the war
A banker, who is curiosity hunter, has
shown US bundle of thirty eight of these
five dollar notes, in twenty of which the
word "traitor" is written across Buchan-
ans forehead; in others the letter "T'
is branded; on one the following words
appear: "Giye him his deserts; on
another is written eye ouid DEVIL" and
still another bears this inscription: "False
to his country and his God, but true to
the Democratic party" Some ingenious
individuals, at loss to express their
contempt in words, resort to SYMBOLS, one
has drawn Copperhead snake, wriggling
in the mouth of Buchanan, another deco
rates the head with cap and bells, and
another encloses the neck within moose
which is attached to a gibbet These
curious methods Of indicating contempt
are not of very high order, but they
show how Mr. Buchanan is now regarded
in that part of Pennsylvania in which he
was once so great favorite. y Chicago

ED" tx. Senator Robert Toombs was
arrested on February I'd, at Savannah, by
order of Gen. Beauregard, for attempting
to leave that city without pass. The
officer asked him for his pass, and Toombs
Informed him that he was Gen Robert
Toombs, aud owed allegiance to Georgia,
and no other Government; that his State
did not require her citizens to travel
with passports, and that he would not
procure one. Thcreupon Gen. Toombs
was elected from the car. A crowd of
citizens and soldiers having gathered
around him, he harangued them in an
excited and bitter manner, and in trea-
sonablo and disloyal language. An old
lady eye witness exclaimed "Well,
well, they have got Bob Too,nbs I heard
him say he would swallow the blood of
all the yankees that came South. Well,
we'll, he can swallow all he sheds. -
Amidst the laughter created, General
Toombs was carried to prison.

Z D6~ Some Of the German Republi-
cans, and some of the old Liberty party,
are down on the President, and arc de-
termined to prevent his denomination.
Their objection to him is that he is not
radical enough He did not issue his
Emancipation Proclamation soon enough;
it did not cover all the slave States he
has not dismissed every officer who has
apparently desired to sostain slavery, and
great many other objections of a simi-
lar nature, are urged against him. On
the other hand there is large number
Of men who are bitterly opposed to the
President because he has shown any viii.
hpgness or desire to remove any Of the
effects of slavery or to do anything that
would tend to its overthrow. Thus the
President is between two fires from pre-
cisely opposite points. Should not this
lead his opposers to consider whether
after all his is not the course of wisdom?
He is the President Of the whole coun-
try and not merely Of the Germans or of
their opponents, and he must to certain
extent be governed by the known wishes
of the people. There are comparatively,
none who doubt the Presidents sincere
desire to do that which is for the good Of
the whole country, aud there are but few
OF those who do not desire to see the
rebels succeed, who will not admit that
the measures adopted by the President
were timely. The President is subject
to like influences with other men, and
he has been subjected to influences that
would almost if no. quite affect one with
the purity Of an angel in Heaven, yet
amid oil, he has committed but few er.
rcrs. Eess, We believe, than would any
other man in the whole country We
believe that Mr. Lincoln has tho conf
dence of more Of our citizens than has
any one Of the persons named for candi.
dates for the Presidency. This being
the case now, we think it a wrong policy
to attempt to raise the fortunes of any
ofice-seeker by iujur;ng the standing of
the President whose term does not ex.
pre- for one year, and that year will, VIC
trust, see tho rebellion put down We
arc not sure but these nti,slavery agita.
tors are aiding the rebel cause in the
same way that the copperheads are. Let
US give the President our support if we
would see the Union restored, and wait
till after the spring campaigns before W.
attempt to mako candidate for the
Presidency.
