The first number of the American Git

the language of our .Salutatory =" We Rang
our Banner to he breeze" having an abid-
ing faith and confidence in the intelligence
and patriotism of our people that they
would patronize and sustain us in our new
enterprise. Our expectations have thus
far been fully realized. We have met
with response which is truly cheering
and we will endeavor to supply the read
ing community with paper, in some de-
gree at least, worthy of their patronage.
When we issued the first number of the
Citizen we had no list of names that we
could call subscribers, and now, at our 10th
number, we have permanent subscrip-
tion and circulation of seven hpndred, and
increasing daily. This success is attrib-
utable in great measure to our patrons,

OF course it is their unanimous wish
that he should be the nominee of the
Democratic party, because they want to
see him badly beaten, and they know that
is the sure way to do it. But surely no
one conversant with the sentiment of the
army will dare to say that it wishes to see
Little Mac elected President? If so, let
us have the name.
As proof of the unanimity and anx-

in favor of Little Mac, our readers are re-

Once on time I well remember, it was
in the bleak December, after my days work
was done, just at the setting of the sun, I
went to court, no one knows where. only
we who formed pair. Well'as walked
down by the mill, just at the foot of clover
hill, two savage dogs with shaggy hair,
flew out as was passing there, pitched at
me like thousand bricks, | knew that
they were up to tricks, so off | ran as fast
you see, as my legs could carry me, one of
them caught | shan't tell how sirs, and tore,
hoe in my new trousers; their master
called, they went back gladly, after using,
me so sadly; told Sal when l got there,
how my trousers they did tear, asked if
she had stuff to match 'em, and if she
would please to patch EN-. If she could MT
match so be it, but she said she couldn't
see it; | staid while and soon said IN
off to home and go to bed; Sal asked in
very sober strain, if was coming back
again, | clappedmy thmub upon my snout,
or nose, so be it, my fingers wriggled and
and | said Miss Sally [ can't see it, nor
could INT then, nor did NIT there, nor wouldn't
ever after, SO | told dad, and he burst out
in awful peals of laughter, said was

"deuced clever," said that l was my Dad

gal may be a fool, if she will only be it,
and many beau the gals have lost, be-
cause they couldn't see it.

him has fallen the responsibility of crush
ing treason and restoring the Union
We believe that in the discharge of his
high duty-this great responsibility, he
has acquitted himself as patriot and a
statesman. We are. apprehensive that
any change in the Executive department
of the government, before the termina-
ton of the war, would have an injurious
effect upon its prosecution For all these
reasons, as also, for the additional one, of
justice to him who has endured so much
anxiety for the nations good, we are op-
posed to a,changc now.
But on the other hand, we have quite
too distinct recollection of the valuable
services rendered the cause of Constitu-
tional Liberty by Gen. Fremont, not only
as our candidate in 1856 when he rallied
to his standard men of progress from all
parties, and in all conditions of life but
on every fitting occasion, from that day to
this, both in military and civil life, to ev-
er withdraw our sympathy from him.
Than Fremont no man stands higher
in the estimation of the loyal masses. If
there are still any who claim to be Re
publican, ,whowish to see him and hisfriends
take their exit from our party, we can
say to them, in all kindness, that they have
no representative man in our party, since
the formal withdrawal of Thurlow Weed,
unless it might be Senator Cowan of this
State.
No, Fremont and his friends will never
leave the party of their own building, but
will in the future, as in the past, ,contin-
ue to constitute its vital part, by which it
will go into the next canvass with Lincoln
for its standard bearer, and out of which
it shall come, victorious.

B3g~ The Editor of the Herald is mis-
taken in assuming that we ever proposed
publishing a small paper for his erclusice
benefit was for the benefit Of the
public that we proposed the new enter
prise
But it seemed necessary for him to as
sumo the fact stated by him, in order to
get an opportunity to avow his courage !;
and for the purpose of illustrating it the
more fully, he refers to an incident that
occurred last season. He might have
given us more recent example of his
courage, Cor rather the want of IT'D by re-
ferring to the fright he got when the vet
Grams returned. Had even the shadow of
a soldiers coat fallen upon him, when he
was writing that article, we would have
heard no more Of courage for fortnight
at least.
But the Editor of the Hera1d seems de-
termined to carry on general assault on
the private character of all with whom he
comes in contact. He seems unable to
rise above personalities in the discussion
of political principles. Hence every one
who feels disposed to growl or defame,
finds place in his paper for their wanton
complaints and defamations-in this he
is only limited as we believe by fear of
the consequences which might befall him
if he went further In short, he seems to
be one of those
"Whn but Of fear knows no control
Because his conscience, seercd and foul,
Feels not the import of his deed:

Keep cool Mr.. Herald, nobody's hurt.

Bs5~ Just previous to going to press, a
letter was received from H. III. Adams,
Co. Il, 18th Pa. regiment, now at look
Out Mountain, Tennessee, from which we
make the following extract:
"Col. Sirwell, has resumed command of
the forces at Look Out Mountain. Long
did We look for our good old commander
to take command. He arrived at last and
took command under the cheers of 700
men. He met with some opposition-not
from the private soldiers, but from some of
the tyranical officers of the regiment.-
We feel confident that the system of ty-
ranny practised towards private soldiers in
this regiment for some time past, is now at
an end. ."-HeraH.
Can the Herald give its readers de-
tailed, or rather specific account of the
tyranny practiced by those Regimental of
ficers. Or can any one inform the public
who this man Adams is, who would have
us believe that they have been so badly
treated
We cannot imagine why all these COM
plants are written to the Herald, unless
it is perhaps, their knowledge of its chron.
ic desire to publish complaints rather than
eulogy.

PROCLAMATION.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Whereas,
it has become necessary to define the cases
in which insurgent enemies are entitled to
the benefits of the proclamation of the
President of the United States which was
made on the Sth day of December 1868,
and in the manner in which they shall
proceed to avail themselves of these bene-
fits; and whereas, the object of the proc
lamation was to suppress the msurrection
and to restore the authority of the United
States and whereas, the amnesty therein
proposed by the President was offered
with reference tothese objects alone; now
therefore, |, Abraham Lincoln, President
Of the United States, do hereby proclaim
that the said proclamation does not apply
to the cases Of persons who, at the time
when they seek toobtain the benefit there
of by taking the oath, thereby prescribed,
arc in military, naval or civil confinement
or custody, or under bonds or on parole of
the civil, military or naval authorities as
agents Of the United States, as prisoners
Of war or persons detained for offences Of
any kind either before or after conviction
and that, on the contrary, it does apply
only to those persons who, being at large
and free from any arrest or confinement,
shall voluntarily come forward and take
the said oath with the purpose of resto-
ring peace and establishing the national
authority. Prisoners excluded from the
amnesty offered in the said proclamation
may apply to the President for clemency,
like all offenders, and their application
will receive due consideration. do fur
ther declare and proclaim that the oath
prescribed in the aforesaid proclamation of
the Sth of December, 1868, may be ta-
ken and subscribed to before any comman-
ding officer, civil, military or naval, in
the service of the T. S., or any civil or
military officer of State or Territory not
in insurrection, who by the laws thereof
may be qualified to administer oaths.
All officers who receive such oaths arc
hereby authorized to give certificates there
on to the persons respectively by whom
they are made and such officers are here
by required to transmit the original rec
ords of such oaths, at as early day as
may be convenient, to the Department of
State, where they viii be deposited and
remain in the archives of the Government.
The Secretary of State willkeep a register
thereof, and will on application in proper
cases, issue certificates of such records in
the customary form of official certificates.
In testimony whereof, | have hereunto
set my hand and coused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, the
10th day of March, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and

United States the eighty-eighth.

THE FIGHT AT YAzoo CrTY.-An Of
ficer who was in the recent fight at Yazoo
City, says it was one of the best contested
and most desperate of thewar The Union
force consisted of the 11th Illinois, Col
Schoefeld, Col Coates Eighth Louisiana
(colored), and 200 of the First Mississip-
pi cavalry, Col Edward Osband (colored).
The enemy he'd eight regiments, under
command of Ross and Richardson. The
fight commenced at s a. m, and lasted till
dark, when the enemy retired. Three
hundred of the 11th Illinois were sur
rounded in small fort on the bluff out
side the town. A storm of shot and shell
was poured upon them all day, when a
summons was sent to them to surrender.
They replied that they didn't know what
surrender meant. The remainder of the
Union force was in town, where they were
met by the enemy, who had gained cover
of some of the buildings. The contest
ragged for three hours, when the enemy re-
tired. The gunboats were in the river,
but could render but little assistance
The colored soldiers fought bravely, and
sometimes with desperation.
