A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAs, at the late session, Congress
passed bill Ito guarantee to certain States,

thrown, republ: an form OF government"
copy Of " hich e hereunto annexed;
; And whereas the said bill was presented 70
the President OF the United States for his a.
prevail less than one hour before the siae ,dse
adjournment Of said session, and was Lot
signed by him;
And whereas the said bill contains, among
O her things, plan for restoring the states IN
rebellion to their proper practical relation in
the Union, which plan expresses TIE sense OF
Congress upon thai subject, and which plan it
is now thought fit TO lay before the people for
their consideration:
Now therefore, /, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Pres
ldent OF the United States, do proclaim, de-
clare, and make known, that while l an (as
j was in december last, when by proelana-
ton propounded plan for restoration) I'M
prepared by formal approval Of this bill, %
be inf1exibly committed to any single plan o.
restoration and, while am also unprepar,i
and governments already adopted and in
stalled in Arkansas and Louisiana shall be
set aside and held tor nought, thereby re
polling and discouraging the loyal citizens
who have set up the same az to fur Their ef-
fort, or to declare constitutional competency
in Congress to abolish slavery in States, but
am at the same time sincerely hoping ana
expecting that n constitutional amendment
be adopted, nevertheless / am fully salts fled
with the system for restoration contained in
the bill as one very proper plan for the loyal
people of any State choosing to adopt it, and
that am. and at all times shall be- prepared
to give the Executive aid and assistance to any
such people, so soon as the military resistance
to the United States shall have been Suppressed
in any such State, and the people thereof shall
have sufficiently returned to Their obedience to
the Constitution and laws of the United States,
in which cases Military Governors will be ap-
pointed, with directions to proceed according
to the bill. ia'" n
In testimony whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the

He Captures a Cavalry Force near AIdie,
with Horses and Aecoutre IN entS-R ebe 1
Raiders at Fairfax Court House.
ANNAsDALE, July s, 1864 Editor Star: A
scout OF $50 men, from the I'd Massachusetts
and 18th New York cavalry, under command
OF Major Forbes, went up in the vicinity OF
Aldie, where they met Moseby with a large
force, with a piece Of artillery and rifiemen.
moseby charged on them, and killed ten or
fifteen and captured nearly the whole party,
horses and accOutrements These horses were
we'll drilled, and o. great value to the Govern
ment. Our cavalry had Spencers repeating
rifles, which will also be of material service to
MoSeby. This affair has stirred up the boys to
the highest pitch OF Indignation On receipt of
the news, Colonel Lowell started Off at mid
night with POO men from I'd and 18th regiments,
and Captain MCPHERSON, of 10th New York
cavalry, joined him at Fairfax, and they pro-
ceeded TO Aldie, where they found twenty-five
wounded men, and eleven dead which they
buried. They secured the country about that
region, and found it was of no use to pursue
Moseby, as he had twelve hours the start of
them towards Upperyille, where he had taken
our boys and his booty. This has been Nose
by's bravest and largest capture, and there is
something abOutit almost unaccountable, when
we know how efficient this cavalry force has
been heretofore, the numerous times they have
sought Moseby the past year, and the number
of captures We have made. Our party returned
last evening with the wounded men OF the 18th
New York and I'd Massachusetts cavalry.
Captain Stone, of the I'd Massachusetts, of
Newburvport, is lying dangerously wounded
at Centreyille. $40 to-. ia.

we are surrounded by guerrillas. MS.

The U. s. mail steamer Highland Light, Cap
tain Weeks, arrived here this morning from
City Point, which place she lett at IL O'Clock
yesterday morning. .r....
From parties coming up on her we learn
that on Thursday night the rebels brought a
battery to bear upon working party OF oure
who were engaged in throwing up earthwolk
nearer to Petersburg, and for awhile a sharp
cannonading took place, our men having also
brought up battery to oppose that Of the reb.
els; and that the latter was soon silenced. Sub.
sequently the rebels took mp a new position,
and again opened upon our working pcrty,
but finding they could accomplish nothing
they ceased.
With this exception all has been quiet for q
few days past. But this is but the preliminary
moment OF quiet before the storm. Grant
never was more hopeful of taking Richmond
never was better prepared and was never be-
fore so near the accomplishment OF his purpose
as at this moment. All this may seem para
doxical in view Of the rebel "Great Calcula-
tons" of creating diversion from Richmond
by their Potomac raid, but it is strictly true as
time will show.
Hon. John Covode, of Pennsylvania, came
up on the Highland Light, bringing up the
body OF his son, Col. @. III. Covode, Of the 18th
Pennsylvania cavalry, who was killed while
protecting the rear Of Sheridan's train, while
crossing James riyerin its late movement from
Gie w mite House to join the main army. Mr.
IoVooe went down on Tuesday last, and as
toer ooag OF ,ne Ceonel was in the rebel lines,
out the spot where he fell. Permission was
ootalned ana they stare on their mi7zio, and
got safely through the lines and re, - LII
The next night General Sheridan dees.;,.
company of 40 men, who, under cover oI q
gunboat detailed for the purpose, landed at
81. Marys, in Charles county, and avoiding
the rebel pickets. secured the body. His body
had been Inferred by some negroes, who placed
boards around the grave.
These negroes state that Col. Coyode fingered
all night and died the morning after being
wounded. Before he died the rebels took from
him his watch, money and valuables, and then
stripped him Of all his clothing except his
shirt

Important Movement of Troops.
From the Cleveland Herald.

We mentioned q few days sgo that there
were indications of m immediate movement
on Mobile. The troops in the unfortunate eX-
petition under Gen. Banks have sailed from
New Orleans for some destination-where, is
the question. Sixteen thousand men had lei!
New Orleans prior to the 10th nit, and 5000 more
up TO the date of the latest advices. One opin-
ion is that they have gone to reinforce General
Grant-ar other that they have moved to at
tack Mobile. The sudden landing of twenty
five thousand veterans under General Uan BY
at Mobile would make a stir among the rebels
under Johnston; should the Louisiana vet,-
rams be added to the army OF the Potomac,
Grsnt will the sooner be able to press Lee Il
extremity. The New Orleans expedition must
soon be heard from.

A BATTLE NEAR FREDERICK ON
THIJRSDAy

Defeat Of the Rebels by Gen. WalIace-He
Captures One Piece OF ArtiIlery-The En-.
envy Retreat During the Night.
despatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer1
FREDERICK, July 81 have notified YOU
Oh heavy skirmishing yesterday morning, in
which our forces were forced back on the road
from Middletown towards Frederick. The
rebels, evidently reinforced, followed up their
advantage by pursuing close up to our retiring
column. In the meantime Gen. Wallace hur-
ned up reinforcepents under Gen. Tyler, with
his chief of staff, Lieut.. Col Lynd Catlin. The
rebel force was about 200 In number, COM
manded by Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, and com.
posed OF cavalry and infantry, with two pieces
of artillery. !
ing, succeeded in eluding our forces at Catoc-
tin Pass, and by 5 O'Clock in the afternoon was
rapidly approaching Frederick.
Some mile and a half beyond the city he was
met by Colonel Gupin, and a brisk engage.
ment Immediately ensued, Colonel Gilpin
forming his line of battle on an eligible ground
Under cover of the fire Of their three pieces the
rebels advanced TO the charge, but notwlth-
standing the troops OF Gilpin were mostly raw
they met the onset without inching, and drove
the rebels back. Reforming their line the reb-
els again advanced to charge, but our bows,
with cOnstancy worthy OF veterans, hurled
them back. Not yet satisfied, Johnson e3sayed
it once more, but meeting the same fate, he de-
sisted from any further attempts, and contented
himself with brisk skirmish fight until night,
in which we were still his match.
Our losses were about fifty, mostly slightly
wounded. Inc rebel loss IS not known, Dut iS
supposed to be heavy. This morning at day.
light it was discovered that johnson had re-
tired towards Middletown, aud our forces
started in pursuit and overlook him near Ca
toctin Pass, when brisk skirmishing ensued,
but / only know at this moment that the enemy
is still apparently falling back. Our troops in
that direction received such endorsements
this morning as will render the situation per-
fectly secure. On this point don't deem 1t
prudent to say more. .Ha-
We are again in possession of Harper's Fer
~, which indicates that the rebels have abau.
doned all attempts against Sigel. think, from
a general glance over the whole field, that the
days. of the rebel raid are numbered. Several
events which tend to confirm this belief are
not yet public property, and can say no more
than have in this brief dispatch.

THE INVASION OF MARYLAND.

THE INVASION OF MARYLAND.
Another Fire at Harper's Ferry-Another
Advance Towards Frederick-A Fight In
Progress.
The rebel invasion of Western Maryland
continues to be the exciting topic, and each
and every train that reaches this city via the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from that sec.
ton OF the State brings quite q number of
refugees. As usual, their statements of the
number of the rebels, the fights, &c, vary con-
siderably, and are all CLEANED from what they
heard. .t'. = =,

sources the following state of affairs In that

The railroad is in working order between this
city and Sandy Hook, opposite the Ferry, and
There was another extensive fire at Harper's
Ferry on Thursday night The bridge over
the Shenandoah was in flames, and number
of buildings in various parts OF the town. The
enemy had previously burned the extensive
railroad platform, and all the buildings along
the line Of the Potomac. The conhagration on
Thursday night threw glow over all the
country for miles around. -.r
The nam body Of the rebels Is supposed 10
be in the neighborhood OF Mechanicksburg,
watching for the appearance Of Gen: Hunter,
and the opinion is becoming general that they
do not number the half OF thirty thousand
During Thursday night all was quiet near
Frederick, though the rebel lines were within
a mile Of the western limits Of the city, occu.
plying the country back as far as Knobby
