d States the eighty seventh. By the President: William H. Seward, Secretary of State. Commenting upon this proclamation, the New York Herald says: The President has issued a proclamation to the people of the rebel States. It is one of the most important documents that has emanated from the Executive Department of the Republic since the adoption of the Federal Constitution. On the 25th of July last the President, in accordance with the act of Congress approved on the 17th of that month, gave sixty days notice to those in rebellion that the property of all rebels would be confiscated, and their slaves made free, if they persisted in their suicidal course. The notice expires to-day, the 23d instant, and the proclamation now issued presents the case in its new and significant aspect. The gravity of this proclamation will strike every one. It has been forced upon the nation by the Abolitionists of the North and Secessionists of the South. It inaugurates an

the wounded and dying met a watery grave. A large number of our men were taken prisoners. It is feared that our shells did more harm among our own men than to the enemy, while covering the retreat of our men across the river. Fifteen were under the arch of an old mill. One of our shells burst in the arch, killing and wounding all but one, Edwin Wilkison, of Company I, 118th Pennsylvania. The battle at Sharpsburg, Md. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing on the 18th, of the battle of Sharpsburg, says: We have been burying our dead and carrying off the battle-field our wounded. I have just returned from the sickening spectacle. Soldiers who went through all the battles of the Peninsula say Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill were as nothing compared with it. The dead do lie in heaps, the wounded are coming in by thousands. Around and in a large barn about half a mile from the spot where General Hooker engaged the enemy's left, I counted 1,250 wounded.

A dispatch from Louisville, 21st, says: Shepardsville advices say that Col. Granger's command at that place was attacked to-day by rebel cavalry, who intended to burn the bridge.--Granger repulsed them, killing five and taking 28 prisoners. Six hundred guerrillas attacked Owensborough on the 19th inst., in two bands. Col. Netter, commanding the Union force, attacked one of the bands and was slain. Five of our men were wounded. The rebels lost five killed. At noon we shelled the rebels, killing three, when they retreated. On the 20th inst, Lieut,-Col. Wood, with four hundred and fifty Union cavalry, attacked, and, after a most desperate encounter, routed from Owensborough eight hundred rebels, under Col. Martin, who lost twenty-eight killed and twenty-five wounded. Our loss was th

, however, in officers in the rebel ranks must have been very great. The bodies of Gen. Anderson and Gen. Whiting were this morning found lying among our own dead. Between forty and fifty rebel captains and lieutenants have also been found and brought to our hospitals. I have conversed with many of them, and they all admit a very heavy loss. The rebels have not all crossed the Potomac — sharp fighting going on all day Sunday at the Fords. The Washington Star, of the evening of the 22d, has the following: We apprehend that the statement in this morning's papers, that the rebels had all crossed the river into Virginia by Saturday night last, is incorrect, inasmuch as we hear on authority in which we place confidence, that nearly all day yesterday there was severe fighting at some of the different fords by which Lee crossed his army, in which McClellan attacked the enemy wherever he found them on this side, and was met by rebel troops stationed to protect those actually

Seven more are known to have been captured, and are in the hands of the different regiments which captured them. Confederates Threatening Suffolk, Va. A letter dated Suffolk, Va., September 18, to the New York Herald, says: For some time past it has been rumored that the rebels are in force at Franklin and Zuni, repairing bridges and getting ready for the grand joint land and river advent of Merrimac No. 2. Scouting parties of the Eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry have been scouring the country from Wintonsville to Zuni, keeping close watch of the movements of the enemy.

rms the chief laboring element. It will have an influence on the labor of the North and West. It will, to a certain extent, bring the black labor on the extensive grain farms of the West, unless the existing stringent laws of some of the Western States, confining the negro to his present geographical position, are adopted in all the other free States. The recent slaughter near Shepherdstown — a lying account. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Sharpsburg, Md., Sept. 21, furnishes the following: Between 8 and 9 o'clock yesterday morning Gen. Martindale's brigade, of Morell's division, Porter's corps, commanded by Col. Barnes, crossed the Sharpsburg ford, and formed in line of battle near a bluff, about a quarter of a mile from the ford, and directly on the bank of the river. They had scarcely done this before the enemy emerged in overwhelming numbers from a piece of woods, a short distance ahead, and commenced a galling fire of musketry. They then
