The following is the Prciidenl'ö order, countermanding tho portion of Fremont's proclamation referred to: V Washington, D.. C.Sept. 11, 18G1. "Major-General John C. Fremont: 'Sir Yours of the Cth, in answer to mine of the 2J inst., is just received. Assuming that you, upon tho ground, could better judged tho necessity of your posi, lion than I could at this distance, on see. ingyour proclamation of Aug. 3Jth I perceived no general objection lo it. The particular clause, however, in relation to the confiscation of property and the liber ation of slaves appeared to bo ubjrctiona ble in its nonconformity to the act of Congress passed on tho Oih of last Aug. upon the same subject, and hence I wioie you expressing my wish that tho clause flhould be modified accordingly. Your answer, just. received, expresses the preference on your part that I should make aa order for the mtxiiC cation, which I cheerfully do. "Iiis therefore ordered that the said ol.i iso in ßaid proclamation be so modified, held and construed as lo conform and not transcend the provisions on the same subject contained in th3 act of Congress, entitled 'An act to confiscate property used for insurrectionary purposes,' approved August 6th, 1 ÜC I ; an'! that said act bo published at hngui with this orrV r.

Lest the act of Congress in question may not be familiar to the rea lei, we subjoin it: ' That whenever, hereafter, during the present insurrection against the government of the United Statc3, any person claimed to bo held to labor or service under the law of any State shall bo required or permitted by the person to whom such labor or service is claimed to be due, or

STIIjIj THINKS HE W AS A TRAITOR. Tbe starke County Press had an srtlcle which we noticed a few wo des a-o, under the head of "Unjust Classification." It is out with another article, in which the editor attempts to demonstrate that Andrewas a very bid man, aad in speaking of him and Arnold, puts his name first. Thoi 1 i Press editor has undoubtudlv jTot hi mind i fu i. rf..h.d that nl.i a 1 who differ witii him are wronc:; and it is n' more than likely that anything we can say will not convince him of what wo deem his error: nevertheless wo propose to bring the subject before our readers'aain and state our reasons for thinking that the classifying of Andre with Arnold was unjust. A3 Arnold is known only as a traitor, wo suppose tho Press editor holds Andre in the same estimation. If we know the meaning of 'traitor,' it is 'one who violates his allegiance, or trust, and betrays his country.' Andre did not violate his alle giance; did not violate his trust; did not tetray his country. He served his country faithfully, and for her threw his life into tne chances ot war, and lost, lie was the counterpart of Nathan Hale, who, ir. a like manner, sacrificed Iiis lifo for his country. It would ba as just to say that Lord Corn wallis, and every man of the j British army were traitors, as to say that! Andre was. Sürth a statement would be false, for they served their country well and faithfully. Will the Press editor s ty that if a 'spy' from tho Federal arn.v should be caught bv the rebels and hung, that ho was a traitor, 'the clanking of whose chains can be heard in tho regions of tho damned"? And yet such a case would be exactly parallel to Andre's. The ßiitish people considered their cause in the contest 'with tho colonies as just as our Federal Government does its cause in tho present struggle. According to 'our reading of history,' Andre did not get any more gold for his services than other officers of his station. Neither is it recorded that he had 'weak nerves,' or was a 'coward. In this con nection, the editor says: "Gold, or some other consideration, we hava no doubt, led Jesse D. Bright to re' commeud a Mr. Lincoln, with improved fire-arms, to JetF. Davis." If Jesso did recommend a man by the name of 'Lincoln,' to JelF, Davis, 'or any other man.' ho ought to be punished severely. It was, wi.ihout doubt, the mean est act of his life. If the Press editor had not been treating on a buhj jet of some solemnity, wo should think that he was guilty of a 'sell' in the following extract: "John Brown, whoso raid into Virginia the Democrat, as well as all other jfood and true and loyal citizens, denounced most bitterly, was bravo and courageous, yet his devotion to his principle of opposition to slavery did not save hiru from a felon's death. As in the case of Andr-?, he may bo called the 'lamented Brown, but infamy does, and over will hang over his memory." The editor has doubtjejss forgotten that Andre was etifri;ed in a war, and that it wa9 his duty to injure his opponents as much as possible, not to violate tho rules of war. Brown had no right, or even the semblance ot authority to murder his neighbors for a principle, do more than the Press editor ha3 a right to murder his neighbor who may chanco to differ with him in politics. If Brown was now alivo was swvrn into ihe service of the government, and acting by Us authority, lio would be justified in doing that which caused lifo death. The Press man refers to M.nor Garnett, who fell in Virtzinia while cheering on his men, and says that ho was as bravo and true to tho cause of the Confederates, as was Andre to tho cause of England, but he fell a traitor, and as such will over be lemcmbered. This caso is as far from be. ing parallel with Andre's, as tho one above noticed. Major Garrett took a solemn oath to support tho Constitution, and sorve honestly and faithfully tho govern ment; when he entered the servico of tho Confederates, ho violated his oath to support the Constitution, and he became a traitor by turning against tho government to which he had given his allegiance, and which ho had vowed to defend against all assailants. Did Andro take an oath to support the cauo of the colonies? Bid ho entor into their service? Did ho not tako an oath of allegianco to King George, aad to support the constitution of England? And did he not faithfully keep that oath? If Garnett was a traitor. Audio was tho opposite, truo to his country to Iiis oath to himself. Ho who faithfully performs his duty ic support of a bad cause, is entitled to a bettor narno than ho who falters in support of a good one. "Act well jour prut there nil the honor lies."

Alreadv ths enlightened and patriotic capitalists, of the great cities of New York. Philadelphia and Boston have manifested their clear cns3, both of duty and interest, by a subscription of J?50, 000,000. Congress, under which the subscription was received, wisely provided however, that the advantages as well as the patriotic satisfaction of a participation in this loan shall bo olio red not to the capitalists of tho gieat cities only, but to the people ot the whole country. In order to secure a substantial reward for their (public spirit to thosa whose patriotism prompts them in this hour of trial to place their means at tho disposal of the Government, Congress has directed that an inter- ! est oi t o-lutns per centum oe raid on the several amounts subscribed, and interest vol Volle to Stute Taxation, but constituting for subscribers a revenue not only certain in receipt, but greater in amount than can be expected from any ordinary investment. And in order to afford all citizens equal opportunities of participation in these advantages. Congress has further directed that subscriptions bo received for sums as small as $50, as well as for hrgo amounts, and that, should the subscriptions exceed tho whole sum desired, the smaller be preferred in its distribution. Etch subscrioer, on payment cf hia subscription, will bo entitled to receive Treasury notes, equal in amount to such denominations as he may prefer, whether of 50, 100, $500, " 1,000, or 5,000. The interest at 7 3-10ths per annum will be on the Dotes of 50, one cent; on 100, two cts; on 1,000, twenlv cents, and on $5,000,

one dollar each day.. All tho treasury j mys". reported my captures to the aunotes issued will bear dato on the 19th cf j thorities, and asked have to have them August. 1GGI, and will carry interest remain until they conld be adjudicated.

fiom that day. Each nolo will havo coupons attached, expressing the several amounts of semi annual interest, which coupons may bo detached from the notes and presented for payment separately. Each subscriber may pay the whole amount subscribed at the time of subscription, or, if he prefers to do so, may pay one-tenth at a time, and one-third every twentieth day thereafter. At each payment, the ac cured interest on the amount from the 10th of August to the date of payment must also bo paid, and the amounts of interest thus paid will be reimbursed in tho payment of tho first coupon. In order to secuio, beyoud peradventure, tho punctual payment of interest, and the gradual reduction of the principal, Congress has provided by law for an annual revenue, amply suflicieat, not only for these purposes, but for the payment of all demands on account of extraordinary expenditures. It will be seen at a glance, that not only is the whole property of the country pledged for the interest and final reimbursement of the loan, but that nu adequate and specific proportion ot tho annual production is set apart by taxation for tho redemption of thia pledge. Prompt payment beyond contingency is thus insured. Nor can this taxation be thought great, when compared with the magnitude of tho objects of the contest, or with the amount of property and production. Tho objects are Union. Permanent poaco and security at homo and respuct abroad are imperiled by this unprovoked rebellion. The intelligence of tho people at once comprehends their magnitude. They riso above patty thoy belong to no administration they concern tho whole country during all time under every administration, and in every relation, foreign or domestic. And tho means for the attainment of the.o great objects can be readily supplied from the property and productions of the county. Tho real and personal values of the United States reach the vast aggregate o! 10,000,000.000, and in the Slates now loyal to tho Union, this aggregate is 81 1,000,000,000. The yearly surplus earnings of the loyal people are estiwinted by intelligent persons conversant with such investigations atmori than 0400,000,000, while tho well considered judgment of military men of the highest iank and repute warrant tho confident expectation that if tho war is prosecuted with energy, coinage mid hkill, it may bo brought to a termination before tho closo of the next spring, in which event the cost beyoud tho revenuo will hardly exceed the 820J,000,000 loan au-

horized by Congrjss, and with a due economy in all brauche of tho public service, not mote than tho total expenditures of Great Biitian ar Fiance in years of peace.

The Xew York Tribuno in a late issue, says: "Wo hold that our proper work in this war is subjugation, in the literal eense of tho word." On tho other hand, Secretary Chase in his appeal for the national loan last week, in npeaking of the Southern people, says: "Will they not reflect that the war in which the government has been constrained is not a war for their subjugation, but a war for national existence, and that an auspicious result to tho Union will benefit ns largely tho States iti insurrection as the Status which have remained loyal?' So it is evident that the philosophers of the Tribune do not understand what thev are talking about, and nil their efforts to turn tho war into an Abolition crusvh? will fail. Tho Administration has spoken upon that point. State Sentinel.

VHAT THE REBELO ARE DOING ON THE POTOMAC. We have accumulated, within the vicinity of Washington, a very large and veil appointed army. It m ty not equal in numlieving that beautiful stream of sung and story from the control of Yankeo shipmasters. At present tho vessels of the Federals spend their time, a:r.mu:;iti n and ' science in steaming up and down the river. throwing shells and shot into the wooded shores, hoping to wake up a masked battery. But our men lay low, keep quiet, and patiently bids their time. IxcEXDrAKV Cannon Ball Experiments with incendiary cannon bills invented by M. Fontaiu;, manufacturer of chemical ingredients, resi ling in Pans, and Lieutenant Marchaud of the Imperial navy, were tried on the 23d and 2 Ith of August. Tho result was not perfectly satisfactory. The balls deviated from their course, and rendered the effect uncertain. It is proved, however, that tho inflammatory composition contained within the balls is of a most dangerous and destructive nature, and costs vjry little. During the experiments on the 2Jd a ball struck the Dromedaiiie, a hulk which served asatatget, on her quarter, uhich was not cased with iron, and, bursting, caused an opening as large as a coachhouse gate.
