CAMDEN, Jan. 15, 1S9S.-With Attorney

the scandal arising out of the rnistrial of
the Shaw murder case is likely to be

PROCLAMATION.
To All the Forces of the Army, Navy,
Militia, Firemen ard Movable
Forces:
Soldiers-The anxious moment
has arrived when we are to measure
our arms with those of the United
States and to avenge the insults We
have received from them in the pass
ing century. They no longer dis.
simulate, seeking pretexts to provoke
us to war.
Convinced that they had to en-
counter US, and knowing the loyalty
and faith with which Spain ever sets
they insolently begged for the
island of Cuba, OF which they tried
to despoil us. The government of
his majesty has haughtily spurned
such unheard of pretensions, trust
ing to the fortune Of war.
''EYEs OF THE WORLD on Us
The eyes of the whole world are
fixed upon US, and we are to show
where our valer and iamutability
will carry Us. We will drain our
blood unto the last days in defense
of the nation and of the honor of our
flag.
If we initiate the example of our
fathers we are worthy TO invoke
their memory in the midst of the
clamor of the conflict to drive back
this ambitious stranger, who, disre-
garding reason and right, tries to
appropriate to himself the rich flow
erbed of our own.
VICTORY WILL CROWN Us"
Ever be firm in your posts of
combat, serene in the defense, i'm.
petuous in the attack, tirelsss in the
marches and continually attentive to
the orders of your superiors. Vic
tory shall surely crown your forces
and when you return to your hon.
ored hearths you will be able to say
with pride: II saved the island OF
Cuba from the domination of |

Hon. Thomas F. Mackay of South
Carolina, former captain of engineers
in the confederate army, and who
in 1866 made 9 through examination
of Moro Castle, the plans thereof
drawn by him being now in the war
department, thinks that the war now
on with Spain will last three or four
years and possibly longer. Judge
Mackay said:
"To achieve final victory We will
be forced to land an army on Span
ish soil, and that will bring on the
greatest battle in the annals of his
tory. A quarter of a million man
will be engaged on either side The
taking of Cuba and Porto Rico, in
stead of marking the termination of
the struggle, will only be its incep-
ton, and the enemy is wise enough
to have discounted the loss of this
territory. Spain has population
of 100000. and is a warlike race
Unless We administer a crushing
blow or their own soil, they will 2ot
stop fighting for the next thirty
years.
