IMPORTANT To DEsERTERs.-We pub
lish in another column, officially, the
Proclamation issued by the President il
compliance with the requirements of the
enrolment law, passed by the last Con
gress, addressed to those who have laid
themselves liable to the penalties which
attach to desertion. Those penalties, az
defined by long established military law.
are extremely severe but should the!
not be inflicted, those imposed by the late
law are such that, in order to escape then
infiction, no person who is liable should
for moment hesitate to avail himself o.
the amnesty offered by the proclamation.
Massachusetts to persons in that State to
whom the proclamation applies, is forci-
BILE and to the point, and being quite as
applicable to one locality as another
we apnend it. and earnestly commend il
to the attention of all persons interested :
Il avail myself of the earliest oppor
tunity after the proclamation Of the Pres
ident, in this public manner, to advise ali
persons liable to the charge of desertiOn
TO accept at once the Presidents offer OF
pardon, to report themselves Immediately
to the nearest Provost Marshal, to return,
to duty and obedience, to retrieve THEN
regulations, protect themselves against
punishment hereafter, and save them
selves from certain forfeiture of THEN
rights as American citizens. I appeal to
the neighbors and friends of all such de-
serters, especially the mothers and wives
who have heretofore invoked so often my
advice and interposition, earnestly coun-
selling them, both as magistrate and az
Il man, to force and persuade the absent
to return and seek the shelter, pardon
honor and happiness which now await
them under the Union flag"

Hon. E. N Stanton:
The army is pushing forward, in hope
of our taking or dispensing the remain

md the 4th corps, are between this and
Appomattox. Gen Meade and the I'd
InJ 9th corps, are following.
Gen. Ord is following the line of the
Southside railroad. All the enemy that
retains anything like organization, have
gone north Of the ApDomattOX, and are
rpparently heading for Lynchburg.-
Their losses have been very heavy. The
houses through ii e country are neary all
used as Hospitals for wounded.
In every direction | hear of rebel sol
diers pushing for home; some in large.
some in small squads, and generally with
out arms. The cavalry pursued so close
ly, that the enemy had been forced to de-
stroy, probably, the greater part of their
transportation, caissons and munitions
Of war. The number of prisoners cap
tured yesterday exceeds 1000. From
the 18th of March to the present time
our loss in killed, wounded and captured
will not probably reach 1000, of whom
from 800 to 1900 we're captured and
many but slightly wounded--I ehaA cum
tinue the pursuit as long as there appears

The triumph of the Union armies IL
the field do not comprise the only victo-
ries to the Union cause achieved these
days. The recent municipal elections
held throughout the country have Leen
an almost unbroken series of victories to
those candidates who have stood up fan
and square as friends of the country IL
the pending contest, the bare suspicion OF
adverse sentiments being held having the
effect to leave opposition candidates fan
in the rear. All the cities and larg,
towns in Ohio, from which we have re
ports, have given decisive Union major
tiles, except perhaps Columbus, and eve-
there, where modern Democracy has fOl
years held undisputed sway, the Unioi
cause has triumphed-a majority of tht
wards having been carried by the Union
nominees, and the Union candidate fol
Marshal also being elected. The Demo
cratic candidate for Mayor has a meagre
majority ON the home vote, but the sol
diers being now authorized TO vote fOl
municipal officers, it is supposed suf6cienl
ballots will be received from that source
to give the Union candidate clear ma
jority.

The Ohio u s. Senators feel justified,
we are informed by the Washington
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, in disregarding the instructions Of
their legislature in favor Of the repeal
or reduction of the duty on paper. The
correspondent fails to enlighten us as to
how much trouble and expense the
paper manufacturers and dealers were
put, in jusiifyiug these Senators.
Honorable gentlemen seem unusually
fearful lest paper manufacturers may
suffer in purse. They appear to be
oblivious of the fact that the newspapers,
which have given them what little repu-
tAtion they possess, have for the last two
years been bled shamefully to fatten
paper dealers. Many of them have been
literally bled TO death, We can t say,
however, that newspaper men are to be
pitied. They have prostituted their
talents in foisting upon the people meg
of doubtful morality, and frequently o.
unquestionable ignorance, and they
must no. complain when evils, ike
chickens, come home to roosE
The action of the U. S. Senate on the
paper monopoly, as on several others
demonstrates the siokeaing truth tha
argument, common sense aud justiet
stand but poor show in that honor

A Peace Convention Wanted in

Washington special says:
The rebel Congressman Foote posi-
lively refused Mr.. Stewards request TO
take the oath Of allegiance, stating that
he could never return TO the Confed-
eracy, that it was failure, but he could
not renounce his o1n conduct. Permis-
sion was thsn given him TO leave for
Europe on his parole not to return
during the war.
