DISPATCHES TO OUs MINISTERS ABROAD
Washington correspondence states that NJ Seward
has so far recovered from AIS recent injuries as to be
able to dictate his dispatches TO our ministers abroad
and they have been forwarded this wocs. In those dis
PATCHES the ground IS taken that the war Is over aud
Che Rebellion crushed.
The victories OF our ANS rsntng in the fall OF Rich
noud and the surrender Lea ere dwelt upon by Mr.
Seward in emphatic M, evidences Of the power Of
our Government 10 maintain IS integrity and reprss
instruction and IL has proved that tho socaled Con

Mr. Seward also appr!scs foreign Governments very
plainly that it is expected That Rebel pirates VIII no

The Emancipation Procla mation..Inte
resting Sketch of its History BY
the Artist, Carpenter. t5''

the AIilsts SaIpeHtei.
Mr.. T. b. Carpenter, the well-known
artist, contributes to the Independent a
sketch of the history Of the Emaneipa-
ton Proclamation, as given to him by /
Mr. Lincoln himself, while he was paint
ing the picture Illustrative Of its consid- !
Grafton by the Cabinet. Mr.. Carpenter
quotes passage from Mr.. Lincoln's let
ter to Colonel Hodges, of Kentucky,
and says:
l now take up the history of the proc
lamation itself, as Mr.. Lincoln gave it to
me on the occasion Of our first interview,
and written down by myself soon after
ware:
"It had got to be-" said be, "mid-
summer, 1862. Things had gone on
from bad to worse, until I felt we had
reached the end of our rope on the plan of
operations we had been pursuing, thatwc
had about played our last card, and must
change our tactics, or lose the game! l
now determined upon the adoption Of the
emancipation policy; and without consul
tation with, or the knowledge of tht Cab
tuet, prepared the original draft of the
proclamation, and after much anxious
thought, called a Cabinet meeting on the
subject. This was the last of July or
the first part Of the month Of August,
1862" (The exact date he did not re-
member.) This Cabinet meeting took
place, 1 think, upon a Saturday. All
were present except Mr.. Blair, the Post.
master General, who was absent at tho
opening of the discussion, but came in
subsequently. l said to the Cabinet
that had resolved upon this stop, and
had not called them together to ask
their advice, but to lay the subject mat
ter of proclamation before them; sug-
gestions as to which would be in order
after they had heard it read Mr.. Love
joy ,4said he, "was in error when he in
formed you that it excited no comment,
excepting On the part Of Secretary Sew
ard. Various suggestions were offered.
Secretary Chase wished the language
stronger in reference to the arming Of
the blacks Mr.. Blair after he came in,
deprecated the policy on the ground that
it would cost the Administration the fall
elections. Nothing however was offered
that had not already fully anticipated
and settled in my own mind, until Secre.
tary Steward spoke. Said he: "Mr.
President, I approve cffhe proclamation,
but l question tho erpediency Of its issue
at this juncture. The depression Of the
public mind consequent upon our repeat
ed revorscs is SO great that l fear the
effect of so important step. 1t may be
viewed as the last.neasure of an exhaus-
ted Governments cry for help; the
Government stretching forth its hands to

and also recommended that the Swamp
Land and Fund be appropriated to build
ing bridges over Cedar and Wapsipiricon
rivers, in said county; provided that the
citizens Of Cedar county shall! raise ap
equal amount to be appropriated for the
same purpose. Adopted. ..-
The Board r,sol7ed to furnish one half
Of the funds necessary to build two toll
bridges, one across the Cedar, and one
across the Wapsipinicon River, in Cedar
county, on the following conditions: In

rivers, the depth Of water, the character
of soil of banks and bottom, the angle and
elevation of the banks above low water,
and survey plat and cost of road three
miles to and from said sites, unless sui:a-
bic roads are now located.
The Board resolved to allow G.. 2. Ing

at $3.50 per day, for each year, COM
mcucing June lst, 1868, and no more;
, and that tho Clerk is authorized to draw

formed.
The Clerk Of the Board was authorized
to issue orders for per diem and mileage

es for the present term.
1t was resolved that tho oyerhowed or

road from Rochester to Iowa City be un.

1t was resolved that an agent be ap.

ration that they receive 20 pc: cent OF
the amount collected by them. Said
agents to be appointed and approved by

qsed Rus God that lie acould DO it." The
last part of this was uttered in low tone,
and appeared to be heard by NO one but
