The President bas usueda abort proclamation, prefaced by a formidable length of whereases, warning all persons, particularly officers of the army, from obstructingthe execution of the laws, or the process of tbe courts of the United States. The inciting cause of thiij' multitude of whereases is declared to tbe ''impediments and obstructions, serious in thcircharacter, recent! interposed in tbe State of North and South Carolina" by Gen. Sickles, bat as the author, of the proclamation removed bim from command some days since, the need of sacb a magniloquent document ia -not apparent. Sickles must bavo frightened Andrew terribly, or he would hardly have described bim a "unlawful extraction, conobinations or os3mll32c cf jrou,"as ia done

io tbe sixth whites of the series, and it is remarkable that he should deem it necessary to issue ao formidable a document against a deposed officer, when not a word was provoked from him by the horrible outbreaks and mauseren of Mt-mphia and New Orlcaba: bat, then our Moe ia a peculiar, aa well as an bumble individuiSl, and is more intensely excited by the exercise of doubtful powers by a Union soldier, than by tin murderous outrages of thous anda vt rebels'. We are not disposed, however, to chide this rpaimodio reverence for the laws which breathes through the proclamation, but hope that inasmuch aa Mr. Johnson enjoins and commands all officers of the Government, civil and military, to render due submission and ohedionco fhercto, that ho will heed hia. own admonitions, and cease hia acandalous efforts to nullify the lawa providing for the formation of civil governments in the late robot (States, lie has set a sorry example of obedienco to hia aubordinatcs. lie ia the most flagrant law breaker in the United States, and the least excusable. Journal. LETTER FROM DECATUR COUNTY. Editor of American, It has- been some time since I favored, or rather ojßicted your numerous readers with a communication. My long silence was not altogether the result of carelesnoM, but is-in pari attributable to a dearth of news oradven. (uro, I suppone, however, my silence has not been a very great bur or act off to the

enjoyment, Intellectually and othcrwir.o, of your patrons. There has been In this, as well aa all other localities, a deep solicitude In rrgtrd to the great itsplo producta of the country. All felt tho iinporlnnre of a heavy yield of wheat and corn, Tho font cr has been 1 gsrttrrrd," and tho amount in thU locality foil somewhat short of the expectation ol the producer. The quality la excellent, which will In purl moke up lor I lie short crop The com ciop, from all tppcuranfen, should tho Fall remain favoiabltt for its maturing, cannot possibly iiiaka niort than a half crop, the latenen of ihn Spring, tho long continued drouth, and in many iiialancea defect Ivo cultivation, havo proved cry di'ealrou to tlil I to portunt cereal, 'the very aptaient short-ne-a of the corn crop has caused quite a stagnation In iho stork ttade.

Such ihanllcM crcaturea never once think they are favored far above their jtict doserta. If Provl denco were aa capricious aa they are, there would be some cause for grumbling at her dispensations. In view of tho "whole situation," I am sure we have far greater reason to rejoice thsn Io desnoud. Wo have, doubtlca. aa a nation, been favored abuvo any pcoplu in the world. If wo can only defeat the machinatione of Andy Johnson, pud his bottle holders," (a fur greater ' aflliclion, to my mind, than the present short crop,) all will bo well, and I havo full faith and esauronce that this huppy consummation will be realised in due lime. There is but little said in this County about the approaching election. We have a good ticket in the field, beuded by Col. urover for Clerk. So far it looks like tho Democrats are going to let judgment go against them by default. Their apparent careleasuess and indifference may, however, be only a rose merely sasumcd, for tho purpose of "itcaling a march on us." It is sale, at all times, and under all circumstoncrs, to regard them as an active, untiring, unscrupulous and mvctcrato loo. They bud such bad luck last Fall with their "renegade llcpublican candidates, that if they put a ticket in tho field, it will be composed of the "simon-puro" men who can swear by Ilrick Pomeroy, Mibigan, llorsiy, and the rest of the- ratron saints of the pHrty.

Johnson' Abettors. It is evident tUat Johnson intend:) to do his worst to defeat tho reconstruction acta of Congress, and to restore the South to rebel control, and thero are few of either rarty who do not now bolicvc that if by ihc-e means ho should regm-d himself strong cnoügh, he is criminal enough at heart to seize tbo Government by a stroke of force. We say few of either pirty, including tho Democrats among those who placo this estimate on Johnson's character, because they also profess to see the signs of this coup d'tlat, aod exhort him to make it. Wo can seo that tho course be has taken will destroy all tbat bos been dono in the way of restoration of peace and reconstruction of (government, and will reconstruct the rebel insolence and domination, as Generals Sheridan and Sickle have said. We can see that Johnson's course would inevitably blow to the winds all ideas of subordination to anything but his will. It is also apparent to all, that Johnson has gained courage, and is taking proceedings which be would not have ventured upon a year ago, nor during tho session of Congress. Whence comes this increased confidence? It is from his experience in the facility of weakening and dividing the ma jority ia Congress, by means of the axecutive patronage, and especially is this demo ralizmg process available in the Senate. He baa fouud that tbe gift of a judgeship will procure a denunciation of the impeachment aa a fa ice, tinder any misdemeanor, and a vscatioo cf tbij part tf tho con-

lituiionsl oflji e of Fenstor) Rnd that the gift of a postoQice will convince a member that there is no soTt of need for Congress to remain in sessionnor to come together before the usual time. It ia the knowledge of hN power, which he has gained by this experieuce, that has emboldened him to tako a course which he would never have dared to take if all the members of Congress hsd prererved their integrity and held in suspense over him the ability to impeach him. Their unfaithfulness has given him unlimited confidence In tho purchaMng power of his patronage, and made him believe that be ia master of the aituation. They , aro responsib!e.forif, and the people should bold them to it. Gazette. Reconstruction on a New Principle. From the speech of Senator Morton at Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday evening, we clip the following paragraphs. Jt tells it all: Up to this time every plan of reconstruction had been bused upon the , white voting population, leaving to the decision of that population the question of en franchising the colored men. Jt was so in Lincoln's plan in tho Winter Davis bill, in Johnson's plan, snd under tho

coii'titutional amendment. All hopes of reconstruction on -that la'ts wcro gono, The whiles, nineteen, twctitiotlia of .whom wcro rebels, uodcr'th Satatilo influence of tho Northern Democracy, continued dis-1 loyal, hostile and pervcrm). A new plan of reconstruction was indispensably nnd It must be upon a totally different principle.

And all this has Iceti done, As it took ui somo llmo to find the right method to cany on the wsr.and tie tight man to comnmnd our fti mits, so it has taken um somo time to find out tho right plan of reconstruction, hut wo have got it at lust.

Wo ahall then adjust all questions of finance, currency, banks, tariff and taxation, and have much timo left to attend to tho Ilcpudintors, tho Dour bona, and the Hip Van Winkles of a decayed and expiring Democracy. The Now Bridge Across tho Miami. ' Tho Lawrenceburg l!rrjlter in a lengthy article concerning the new bridgo now boing built across the Great Miami near in mouth, speaka thus: - During the pat three months, the Company have been working ono dredging machine, which, with its great iron 'coop, reiches far down below the water's sutfaje, and brings up a load of sand and gravel, fireparatory to the driving of piles snd aying the foundation for pisrs; they aro also running tlree engines in driving pile. In addition, Henry and Paul Truitt of this city bavo been engaged, with thirty workmen, in hauling earth to fill in around coffer dann and prji'cction walls. During the entire auiumcr, a double set of workmen have been employed, filly carpenters and seventy laborers. All tbo availablo machinery ii run night and day, including Sundays, employing about fifty at night, and the rein-tinder in the hours of the day. It is estimated by the engineer, that when tho work is completed, there will have been driven two thousand seven hundred piles, each thirty feet in the ground, which, will make an Aggregate of fifty-four thousand feet of pilo driving. Aside from thisf' 'between three .hundred and four hundred piles have been driven for the construction 'of coffer dams. Publishing Democratio Spaeehes. The New Albany Commercial objects to the publication by the Cincinnati papers of the speecbes of Democrats io the present canvas, and thinks it shows a generosity that is calculated to work barm. We do not so understand it, Republicans do not fear to read Democratic speeches, and they thereby become. conversant with the fallacv of their positions and are prepared to meet and refute them. ' A Democrat who is making a speech too, may be wholesome! restrained from going too much to extremes, knowing that it will bo reported and published. 'A Democrat, too, may be led to read a speech of ono of his champions in a Republican paper, and ece in the same paer a refutation of the false points taken. "Pepnblicans have nothing to lo'sa
