The Release OGsIse Proclamation
FOrger.

IN regard 10 t..t paruDL anu Tcie1Se OF
Howard, there are many curious things
said. Some would pretend that Beechcr
and his CO laborer, Cheevcr, are at the bot
tom Of the whole thing. Others say that
Towards father, man OF strong Republi-
can sentiments and influence, has been the
principal agent in achieving the liberty of
his son These suppositions may be taken
for what they arc worth. We only pretend
to give the fact, and that is, that Joseph
Howard. the author of the bogus Prcsiden-
tal proclamation, was released from impris-
onment the day before yesterday. The or
der Of Gen. Dix was plain and simple,
couched in q few straight forward words -
'Reicase Joseph Howard, jr., the author Of
The bogus proclamation. This order was
| returned 10 the authorities ofthe fort by the
father Of Mr. Howard, and shortly after the
release was an accomplished fact.
| 1t is said that the old gentleman did
everything in his power to keep the matter
secret, according to his pledges to the Gov
crnment; but the reporters of the press

ncss-is still retained in custody. How
long is he to he kept there, now that the
principal offender is at liberty? Is there
no right nor Justice in the land? The pco-
pie would like to know. That's al.
There at present in Chicago nine regi-
mcnts Of infantry and two batteries Of artil-
lery. If il be true, as Secretary Stanton
says, that Grant ''only needs 100000 men
to end the rebellion why are not these
men sent to the fronty Burbridge in
Kentucky, has several thousand, who are
doing but little more than to steal horses
and aid in the banis,.mcnt Of Old men wo-
men and children. If ''only 100000 men
are required to end the rebellion" why are
not Burbridges soldiers sent to Grant !!
Several other thousands are engaged in
guarding General Thomas private cotton
plantations in the vicinity Of Natchez.
Why are they not hurried at once TO the
Petersburg trenches, if Grant "only lacks
100, 600 10 end the rebellion - About one
