Proclamation on Our Maritime Rels-

BY the President of the United States
OF America-A Proclamation.
WHEREAS: For some time past YES.
sells Of war of the United States have
been refused in certain ports tho
privileges to which they we're entitled
by treaty, public law, or the comfy
of nations, Gt the same time that the
vessels of war of the country which
in the said privileges and immuni.ies
have been withheld have enjoyed them
fully and uninterruptedly in the ports
of the United States, although,on the
other hand, they have not at times
failed to protest against and declare
their dissatisfaction with the same
No condition exists any longer, which
can be claimed to justify the denial
TO them by any one of said nations,
of the customary naval rights, which
has heretofore been so unnecessarily
persisted in.
Now, therefore, /, Abraham Lin
coin, President of the United States,
do hereby make known that If, after
a reasonable time shall have elapsed
for the intelligence of this proclama
ton to have reached any foreign
country, in whose ports the said priv
ileges and immunities shall have been
refused as aforesaid, they shall con-
tinue 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 continue until the war vessels
Of the United States shall have beer
placed upon an entire equality in the
foreign ports aforesaid with similar
vessels of other countries. The
United States, whatever claim or pre-
tense may have existed heretofore
are now at least entitled to claim al
entire and friendly of rights and hos
pitalities with all other nations.
In witness whereof / have hereuDtc
set my hand and caused the seal o

A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.

We call the especial attention o.
Our readers to the fact that every
promise made by the Union part,
last Fall, has been fulfilled, while ev
cry one made by the Copperhead'
has failed.
The Union party asserted that the
reelection Of A brabam Lincoln would
end the war. 1t has done it. The
very moment the news reached the
South that Lincoln was re elected
that the people had, by majority
larger than any President had re.
ceived for years, declared that the
war must go on until the Union was
restored, that very moment the South
lost heart. They had strained every
nerve TO keep alive four years, and
when they saw that We had resource:
for four or forty-four more years,
and that the people were backing ur
the Administration in the use of them
they felt their cause was lost. Then
they began to talk of peace, and re-
construction--then they began to talk
TOR an end of the strife.
How is it with the Copperhead
leaders now2
They have opposed with zeal infer.
nal, every measure that has been
adopted to bring this result about.
They opposed the currency when
the life of the nation depended upon
it, and after the issues were made
they used their best endeavors to de.
preciate it, They opposed the eman
cipation Of the slaves, and the arm
ing of the negroes, when they knew
as well as they do now that unless
we got the slaves of the South thu
rebels would. They have opposed
every loan--ridiculed the soldiers
opposed every call for men--doubteC
our victorics-magniiied our losses
decried our Generals-lauded tn
rebelS--in short, in whatever way the,
could, they contributed towards tn
success of the rebellion and the de
feat OF the Government.

WHERE ARE YOUR GIBEs NOW

The men who have always asserted

"the South could never be whipped

A Patriotic Sacrifice.

The Philadelphia North American

We yesterday saw a letter to Mr..
George Ii. Stuart, from, Mr.. Caleb
j. Milne, in which the recipient was
authorized to make any use OF it that
he deemed proper. 1t inclosed twen-

young lady of education and refine
ment, occupying a good social po,
sitlon, and who possessed beautiful
head of hair, had submitted her locks
that morning to a hair dresser, to
whom she had sold them for the sum
of ten dollars. This added to like

statement in regard the Captain

THE DICTATOR ONCE MORE.
This noted iron. clad which was
designed to be sea- going vessel OF
high speed-the contract rate we I'M
derstand, was sixteen knots-had 10
be towed from Fortress Monroe to
New York. We noticed in q New \ Gork
paper that she went twelve knots, but
how long was not reported. This
was no doubt designed to make the
public believe that her trip was en-
tlrely successful; but we saw no re-
port she had broken her shaft, which
is twenty-one inches in diameter, that
she consumed sixteen barrels of oil,
four barrels af tallow, and q large
amount of black lead to keep heI
joints timber, besides having stream
of fresh water playing upon the bear
ings all the time, nor that her shaft
used the bearings up into shavings
We understand that she has broken
two shafts, and is now having third
made. Ii these statements, which
have been made to us, are correct, We
should like to know why they were
not reported in the New York papers
upon her arrival there? The public
wants light concerning the extra bills
upon this ship since she passed into
the hands Of the Government. The
gentleman from whom we obtain the
foregoing facts says that the Navy
Department is in no way responsible
for the performance of this expensive
ship. Now the question arises-whc
is responsible9

~ As the political campaign of


1865 has closed, we purpose opening
our agricultural column again, for
the discussion of such subjects, as
directly interest the farmers of old
Gsllia, AT the present time, the
most important, is the manufacture
of Sorghum syrup. The crop OF
cane this year is very large, and the
yield of syrup will be enormous. 1t
is estimated that the Surplus product
will fully equal the amount consumed
in the county.
This viii go far toward making up
the deficiency in the wheat crop, and
enable many of our farmers to turn a
short corner in financial affairs, with
out difficulty. The apparatus and
machinery for grinding the cane and
evaporating the juice, that are now
in use, enable the manufacturer to
produce a very superior article Of
syrup at greatly reduced price
There is no doubt, still much room
for the improvement in this depart
ment, in the hay of constructing
suitable buildings for the machinery,
and sheds for storing the cane
These are matters which will be at
tended to in season, as the business
of manufacturing becomes establish
ed at certain points most convenient
to the farmers who raise the cane.
We expect in year or two to find
a factory of this description in every
township, as Touring mills are now
When this is the case, the manufac-
turer who makes the best article at
the lowest rates, will of course OBJ
tain the custom.
Several are now in operation in
various parts of the county, that will
be greatly enlarged next season.
Mr. Charles Clendenin designs erect
ing one on his farm near Gallipolis,
that will be capable of manufactur.
ing all the cane raised in the vicini-
ty. He is now manufacturing a very
superior article of syrup, at the rate
of GO gallons per day 1t sells read.
lily at 10 cents per gallon.
Mr. E. Waddle of Perry township
has still more extensive establish
ment, but have no report from him as
yet, relating to his success. The
fine weather we have had for two
weeks past, is very. favorable to the
cutting and hauling the cane. For
the curing of the blades and tops as,
an article Of fodder, it is as fine as
could be desired. Every farmer
should save as much of the latter as
practicable, inasmuch as both hay
and straw this year have been great
ly injured by rain. Farmers who
have tested the value of the tops as
food for horses, sheep or cattle, rate
them as fully equal to oats in sheaf.
The blades are fully equal to corn
blades, and as they must of necessity
beremoyed, why not cure them at
once. We are anxious to have all
the information we can get on this
subject placed before our readers.
Sorghum is certain to be one of the
staple products of Gallia county. 1t
is the interest of all her citiz ems to
make it so. For this purpose every
farmer should post himself on the
essential points of raising a>gnsd
crop. This season will prove a.
great many theories on the subject
false, and affirm many to be true,
that were doubted.
Let those who obtain light on it
impart to others. Our columns are
open 10 all persons. Short articles
OF any thing pertaining to it are re
spectfuily solicited.
