211.-President Lincoln's proclamation.
By the President of the United States of America:
A proclamation.
Whereas, It has become necessary to call into service, not only volunteers, but also portions of the militia of the States by draft, in order to suppress the insurrection existing in the United States, and disloyal persons are not adequately restrained by the ordinary processes of law from hindering this measure, and from giving aid and comfort in various ways to the insurrection:
Now, therefore, be it ordered:
First.
That during the existing insurrection, and as a necessary measure for suppressing the same, all rebels and insurgents, their aiders and abettors, within the United States, and all persons discouraging volunteer enlistments, resisting militia drafts, or guilty of any disloyal practice affording aid and comfort to the rebels against the authority of the United States, shall be subject to martial law, and liable to trial and punishment by court

212.-the fight at Augusta, Kentucky.
Report of Colonel Bradford.
Augusta, Ky., Oct. 12, 1862.
on the morning of the twenty-seventh, I despatched a messenger (Mr. Cleveland) to the Belfast, and Allen Collier, the latter having first arrived, that our scouts reported the rebel cavalry coming, from four to five hundred strong, with two pieces of artillery, and to make all the necessary preparation on their part.
The Captain of the Collier sent me word he would remain there an hour, or for further orders.
In half an hour I started to the boats, when I found the Collier rounding out. I despatched a man on horseback down the river-shore to hail her and bring her back, but she did not obey the orders.
I went on board the Belfast to give directions personally as to the manner of the fight, and the rules I desired both boats to observe in the fire from the boats.
When I arrived on the Belfast I was told by Captain Sedam that the Allen Collier had left to obey a signal fr

General Salomon's report.
headquarters First brigade, army of Kansas, Sarcoxie, Mo., October 1, 1862. Brigadier-General Schofield, Commanding:
General: I have the honor to report the following:
On the twentieth ultimo I sent scouting-parties to Newtonia, Granby, and Neosho.
The latter, as per report of Col. Weer, killed two of the enemy's pickets, wounded several, and made one prisoner.
Those at Granby reported no enemy there.
The scouting-party to Newtonia was commanded by Col. Lynde, and consisted of the Ninth Kansas volunteers, cavalry, about one hundred and fifty men, and two mountain howitzers.
In the afternoon I heard cannon firing in the direction of Newtonia.

Toward evening Col. Lynde returned to camp, reporting that Lieut.-Co

214.-General Pleasanton's Reconnois Sance.
General Pleasanton's report.
army of the Potomac, October 8, 1862.
I crossed the Potomac on the morning of the first instant, with seven hundred men, consisting of the Eighth Illinois cavalry, three squadrons from each of the Eighth Pennsylvania and Third Indiana cavalry and Pennington's battery of artillery.
I drove the enemy's picket out of Shepherdstown, and followed the Ninth Virginia cavalry on the Martinsburgh road so rapidly that they fled, leaving one of their dead in the road.
This dead body was still in the road on my return in the evening, showing that I had possession of it the whole day.
Five miles from Shepherdstown the road forks, one branch going in the direction of Bunker's Hill, and it was on this road that Lee's brigade was posted; the other passed on to Martinsburgh, and in obedience to my orders I moved on it. Two miles of travel brought me to the Opequon Creek, on the opposite bank of which, and s

215.-battle at La Vergne, Tenn.
General Negley's report.
headquarters United States forces, Nashville, October 9.
sir: Major-Gen. J. R. Anderson, Brig.-General Forrest, and Gen. Harris, have been rapidly concentrating a large rebel force at La Vergne, fifteen miles east, with the avowed intention of assaulting Nashville.
Deeming it a favorable opportunity to check this project by a sudden blow, a concerted movement was made on the night of the sixth instant, by a force of four hundred infantry and four hundred cavalry, and four pieces of artillery, under command of General Palmer, sent via Murfreesboro road. At the same time one thousand eight hundred infantry, under Col. Miller, marched by a circuitous route to the south of La Vergne.
The enemy's pickets and vedettes were in considerable force on the roads, and skirmished with our advance ten miles, enabling the main force, consisting of one regiment, the Thirty-second Alabama infantry, with one steel rifled cann

216.-fight at Lawrenceburgh, Ky.
Colonel Parrott's report.
headquarters First regiment O. V. I., in camp, October 9, 1862.
Captain: I have the honor to submit the following report of the skirmish had with the enemy this morning, by the troops under my command, at Dogwalk.
As my regiment left camp, the General Commanding apprised me that our rear was threatened by the enemy, and ordered me to march back on the road until I overtook the Nineteenth United States infantry, previously sent out.
About half a mile from camp I came up with our troops, on the road to Lawrenceburgh.
Major King, Fifteenth United States infantry, had his battalion drawn up in open field, where he commanded the road; Major Carpenter, Nineteenth United States infantry, was to his left, and in the road, which at that point makes an abrupt turn.
Being the ranking officer present, I posted the First Ohio behind the crest of a ridge in the skirt of woods to the rear of the open ground, and
