The President on the Proclamation.

The President on the Prociamaton.
The following dispatch to yesterdays Bos-
ton Advertiser partially explains the Presi-
dents present theory of the effect Of the proc
lamation of peace.
The President has in conversation with
General Howard respecting the Freedmen's
Bureau, said something of importance by way
of Interpretation of his recent peace proclaim
alton. He says it has only such scope with
reference to the States named therein as his
former proclamation had with reference to
Tennessee. He regards it as only another
step in the policy of reconstruction being pur-
sued by the government. 1t does not suspend
the operation of military law in any Of the
States, and the Freedmen's Bureau will con-
ttnue. to exercise its. accustomed functions
throughout the South. Army officers will re-
main on duty as its agents, and justice will
continue to be administered between the freed
men and the whites by the existing semi-mil-
itary courts till the States give the former the
right to be heard in the civil courts, in the
same manner that the latter are. The Presi-
dent referred to the fact that military power
was exercised in Tennessee, as well as else
where in the South, and spoke particularly of
General Fiske's administration of the affairs
of the bureau in that State. He would re-
main there, and the proclamation would not
curtail his powers, nor the powers of any 9TH
er agent of the bureau. The rebels of Ken
lucky the President regarded as of worse
spirit than the people oil any other State Gen.
eral Fiske had not been too severe with them,
and the, freedmen OF that State, as well as
those of Maryland, would still be protected by
the military. The scope .of the proclamation
with respect to military trials by courts-mar-
tial, or commissions, does not seem well un-
derstood, even by officers high in authority

whatever in return" The interest the Cana
das would have to pay would be little more
than 100000, or probably as much as they
would have to pay yearly in interest on cost

The Post is not alone in these views. They
are advocated by many persons in Canada,
and by still larger proportion in the mara
time provinces, where various influential
journals do not hesitate TO say in plain terms
that annexation is greatly preferable to con-
federation. A leaven is working in the minds
of the provincials, which may some day pro-
duce unlooked-for results.

A misfortune unlocked for, and unpreceden-
ted, has befallen the Touring interests of this
city and state, and one which must materially
injure the spring and summer business Of the
place which has, up to the last few hours, pre-
sented most encouraging aspect. The spring
floods, at theirvery start, have swept away
large number of our dams, and rendered USE
less for some time to come many of our best
mills. Yesterday morning, at about one o'clock,
the mill dam at this place was swept away,
and thus at one stroke are Eve of the mills of
this city deprived of their power to grind sin
gle barrel of -four. These five mills are-the
Niagara, Phoenix, City Mills, A. Sawyer's and
Bertschy & Kern's. --f-,.z-s..-.---,.
Besides these there are the following named
MILESTONE Mill, grinding $50 bbls. per day !;
Excelsior, 100 bbls., and J.. B. Smiths 100
bbls.
Yesterday and today we have been almost
hourly in receipt of depressing news from the
country mills situated on the Milwaukee River,
and its tributaries. One after another have
the dams been swept away by the resistless
torrent Up to this time we hear of six dams
gone on the river besides the one at this place,
viz, at Humboldt, Grafton, Sankville, New
burg, West Bend, and Kewaskum. Also, four
on Cedar Creek, and one at Silon Creek.
The dams at Barton, Young America and
New Castle are still standing, but few hopes
are entertained that they will be saved. The
water is still rising, and further damage must
follow.
From the limited crop, and inferior quality
OF tne wheat IN those sections from which New
England has, for the past few wears. chiefly
drawn her supplies, and from the superior ouai-
ity of our wheat, we had anticipated large
business In Wisconsin flours this season. hut
this misfortune must seriously interfere with
our supply. This is essentially Touring state.
and an event of this kind, strikes heavy blow
at one of her most important branches of in
dustry. 1859 ~. ~. d.
Nearly all the best and largest mills in the
state have suffered, Many of the millers will

q Mr. GoUGH's LECTURE.-City Hall was
crowded to repletion last night before o.
clock. The doors were opened at 6, and Con-
gress street was thronged till the hour for the
lecture to begin. Many people must have
gone away, unable to obtain places. The lee
tufe held the attention of the vast audience
for nearly two hours.
( The peculiarities of male and female ap-
parel, the affectation of wisdom and the mean
er affectation of vice, the. punster, the profane
swearer, the drunkard, the procrastinating
man, the tattling woman, were described and
illustrated in Mr.. Coughs peculiar style,
which, though giving an admirable imitation
of reality, is itself indescribable. The lecturer
was confined to his notes, and thus restrained
somewhat from his usual freedom of delivery.
The digressions, though numerous, were hap
Ply as his representations generally are, and
contained some of his best specimens of act
ing.
Those who heard the following passage
from the orators lips will enjoy the reading
of it; those who have not must try TO imagine
some of the speakers humor and .drollery of
action, which added so much to the humor of
