Doc. 1. proclamation of Gov. Morgan, Governor of the State of New York. A conspiracy, not the work of a day, but the result of years, of false, wicked, and traitorous machinations, has for several months disturbed the peace of the State of New York and of the Federal Union. Its movements have been marked by violence andState of New York and of the Federal Union. Its movements have been marked by violence and fraud. Wherever it has manifested itself, it has disregarded the rights of citizens, coerced them into the ranks of its armies, and exercised an absolute control over person and property, in utter defiance of the Constitution and laws of the land. Ambitious and designing men, disappointed in their personal aims, have been enableion has been reached, and the Government, appreciating the dangers now menacing it, appeals for aid. The whole country, the civilized world, now looks to the State of New York. Let the response be worthy of her history. Let her answer go back in full ranks of earnest men, who, justly valuing the magnitude of the interests involve

uaves. They killed but ten of the volunteers, and half a dozen regulars. Flags of truce have passed between the two commanding officers, as to dead, wounded, prisoners, &c., and the secessionists say that in killed, wounded, and missing, their loss is between three hundred and four hundred. We suppose they have some of our men prisoners, as a dozen or so are missing — among them two of our company. Among the property burned in our camp were the new uniforms presented to us by the State of New York, and which were worn for the first time on dress parade last Sunday. New tents are now going up in place of those destroyed, and we shall soon be all comfortable again. There was an alarm again this morning, and the men were out ready for an attack in five minutes, but fortunately the alarm was a false one. I think the enemy are too sore to give us another turn just yet, but the rebel prisoners say that they will repeat their visit before long. We will have to sleep with one eye op

Doc. 87. the National defences. Secretary Seward's circular. The following important circular was sent to the Governors of all the States on the seaboard and the lakes in the United States: Department of State, Washington, October 14, 1861. To his Excellency the Governor of the State of New York: sir: The present insurrection had not even revealed itself in arms, when disloyal citizens hastened to foreign countries to invoke their intervention for the overthrow of the Government and the destruction of the Federal Union. These agents are known to have made their appeals to some of the more important States without success. It is not likely, however, that they will remain content with such refusals. Indeed, it is understood that they are industriously endeavoring to accomplish their disloyal purposes by degrees and by indirection. Taking advantage of the embarrassments of agriculture, manufactures, and commerce in foreign countries, resulting from the insurrection t

Doc. 135. retirement of General Scott. Resolution of the New York Chamber of commerce. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, held November 7th, 1861, the following resolutions, introduced by Mr. Denning Duer, were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce, at this its first meeting after the retirement of Lieutenant-General Scott from the command of the army of the United States, desires to join its voice to that of the constituted authorities of the nation and of the people at large, in bearing testimony to the signal services of Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott, and to his illustrious example as a man, a soldier, and a citizen, through a period of more than half a century. In war always successful; in adverse circumstances never discouraged; in the moment of victory never unduly elated; provident of the blood of the soldiers, and steadily set against any self-aggrandizement at the cost of a single life unnecessarily hazarde

Doc. 204. experience of Lieut. Worden Release of the First prisoner of war. Lieutenant John P. Worden, of the United States Navy, who was arrested by the rebels at Montgomery, in April, 1861, is a resident of Duchess County, in the State of New York. He graduated at Philadelphia, Pa., and has been twenty-eight years in the navy. He was the first prisoner of war, and his arrest created considerable excitement at the time. Lieut. Worden left Washington on the 7th of April, 1861, as bearer of despatches to Captain Adams, of the frigate Sabine, in command of the fleet at Pensacola. The fleet had previously been sent to Fort Pickens, with two companies of artillery, for the purpose of reinforcing the fort when so ordered, and the despatches carried by Mr. Worden contained orders to that effect.
