MOseby,s GuerruIss.

An engagement took place betw zen our
forces and some of MOseeY's guerrillas, in
Fairfax county, Virginia, only eleven miles
from Washington, on Monday. Moseby's
men have been for some time operating
north of Richmond, between Acquis and
Fredericksburg. They have been badly
beaten and will, we hope, soon be exter-
minated. 1t is lucky Moseby's seoundrels
were not with Lee at the time of his sur
render, and will NOT, therefore, be included
in the parole. Every one of them is q
7obber and murderer and should be hung.

PROCLAMATION.

WASHINGTON, April Il.
The proclamation in reference 10 closing
Southern ports is in accordance with law
passed early in 1861. 1t was then under
stood, however, that while foreign powers
would respect an effective blockade Of these
ports, claim to exercise legal authority
over them, as over other ports of the
United States, would not be respected. It
is believed the time hiss come, however,
when the United States Government
can claim to exercise thst legal su-
thority over all its ports, whether block
AIDED or not, which belongs to
every independent sovereign power
A sufficient number of Southern ports
are left open for legitimate trade, and those
now proclaimed closed, will, it is presumed,
be reopened after time. In the mean
time blockade running is effeetuslly ended.
The Issuing Of the proclamation is un-
ders ood to have been the business on
which Sec'y Seward was about to visit
City Point to confer with the President,
last week. Another impo tsnt proclsms-
iton is issued to-day as follows:

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas, for some time past vessels of
war of the United States have been refused,
in certain ports, the privileges and i'm
munides TO which they were entitled by
| treaty, public law OF the comfy of nations,
at the same time that vessels Of war of the
comfy in which the privileges and immu-
mites have been withheld have enjoyed
them fully and uninterruptedly in the
ports of the United States, which condi-
tion of things has not always been
forcibly resisted by the United States,
although on the other hand they have
not at times failed to protest agains t
and declare their dissatisfaction with the
same, to the evil of the United States.
No condition any longer exists which can
be claimed TO justify the denial to them, by
any one of said -nRtionF, Of the customary
naval rights which have heretofore been
so UNNECESSARILY persisted in. Now,
therefore, /, Abraham Lincoln President
of the United States, do hereby make
known that if after reasonable time
shall have elapsed for the intelligence of
this proclamation to have reached any for
eign country in whose ports the said priv
! Ileges and immunities shall nave been O.
fused as aforesaid, and shall continue TO be
so refused, then and thenceforth the same
privileges and immunities shall be refused
to the vessels of war Of the country in the
ports of the United States, and this refusal
shall continue until the war vessels of the
United States shall have been placed upon
an entire equality in the foreign port sfore-
said with similar vessels Of other countries.
The United States, whatever claim or pre-
tence may have existed heretofore, are
now, at least, entitled to receive, and con-
cede an entire and friendly equality of
rights and hospitalities with sll maritime
nations.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this
eleventh day of April, A, D., 1865, and
ofthe Independence of the United States,
the seth.

groes has commenced, but Shareholders
manifest great reluctance in bringing for

numbers of slaves are secreted. Hundreds
of persons in theupper and middle portions
of the State are secretly endeavoring to
make their escape from the country but
have been stopped by severe rebel orders.
There is great suffering and destitution

81 A SNAEE STORY Il have read most
astonishing story Of snake, which /
will relate, to show the wonderful fore
thought displayed by the reptile in ques-
ton. It is well known that snakes are
fond of milk. There was once snake,
not exempt from this weakness of his fell
low reptiles, which hit upon the follow
ing, in Ienious expedient to crafty his
taste: Il visited a room in which
black nurse and her nnrslin slept, and
every night bis snakeship would creep
into bed, cunningly insert the tip of his
tail into the baby's month 70 amuse it,
and prevent its crying, while the hideous
reptile substituted itself for the infant,
which it thus deprived Of its natural food,
the nurse slept on unconscious of having
such. a monsirous nursling This went
on for some time, until the infant, being
cheated of half of its allowance of food
became 30 thin that suspicion was excl
ted, and an old negro set TO watch the
nurse at night--the delinquent was
caught in the act, aud expiated the Of
fence with its life, while the poor baby,
being no longsr kept on " short com
mons, recovered itB strength and grew
6ne and fat as before. -
l was unfeeiing enough to laugh at
this story, told me in the most pathetic
manner by lady who firmly belived it;
and / made matters worse by expressing
my regret at the snakes life not having
been spared 90 account of its inventive

answer was: +" wad rather trust my

erring faith, possible to be met with
