A PROCLAMATION. igi Wnuegeas the armed insurrectionary com- binations now existing in several of the States are threatening to make inroads into the States of Maryland, Western Virginia. Pennsylvania and Ohio, requiring immediately an additional military force for the service of the United States: Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Pres- ident of the United States ‘and Commander-in- Chief ot the Army and Navy thereof, and of the militia of the several”States when c lled into actual service, do hereby call into the ser-. vice of the United States one hundred thon. ° sand (100,000) militia from the States follow- ing, namely:—From the State of Maryland, ten thousand; from the State of Pennsylva: nia, fifty thousand; from the State of Ohio thirty thousand; from the State of West Vir- einia, ten thousand; to be mustered into the service of the United States forthwith, and | to serve for the period of six months from f the date of such muster intosaid service unless e0orer discharged. to be mustered in as infan- | try, artillery and cavalry in proportions which ‘will be made known through the War Depart- ment, which Department will also designate the several places of rendezvous. These militia to be organizec according to the rules and regulations of the yolunteer service and such orders as may hereafter be issued.

Hagrer’s Ferry, June 12.—Iteen uolongec b: doubted that the rebels are about to strike &o aggreseive blow in some quafter, in feturn for the compliments recently paid them by Stoneman, Kilpatrick and Gri@rson, and the affair upon the Rappahannock om Monday last bas not thwarted their object. Where the blow ie to be struck, or when, is entirely a matter of conjecture as yet; but soon it must come, and I fear upon # quarter where we are the least prepared for it. My reacors for writing this may be briefly stated. When our cavalry returned from the fight on Tuesday they brought information that the rebels had been moving in strong force ' westward through the town of Sperry ville to- ward Luray, in.the Shenandoah valley; that the column so moving was three hours and a half in passing the town, and was composed of infantry and artillery. How many had gone in the sane directiom via Culpeperand Gor- donsville was. not stated, if known. This, of itself, independentof the known fact that the enemy’s cavalry was being massed on the J ; per Rappahannock, would have been sutiicient to show that a raid was on the tapis. * 3MPORTANT FROM MILLIKEN'S BEND Our Forces 1,500 Strong Attacked by the Rebels—Our Cavalry and Colored fn- jantry Drive Back the Enemy —Uur Troops Reinforced by Artillery und the Gunboat Choctaw—The Rebels Repulsed with Heavy Loss. ‘ @arro, June 12.—The steamer Dunleith, Capt. Wilson, arrived this p.m., direct trom Vicksburg on the 7th inst., bringing Memphis dates of the 10th. The papers contain nothing of interest. From an officer of the Dunleith I learn the following, regarding something of a battle | which came off at Milliken’s Bend on the after- noon of Saturday last and the forenoon of San- day of the present week. From the intelligent source whence it comes, I think it can be re- lied upon as generally correct. The details may vary somewhat. On Saturday last our force at Milliken’s Bend consisted of about 717 troops and 800 ne- gro velunteers—some 1,500 or 1,600 in all. On ) Saturday evening the alarm was brought the commander of the post that a large force of rab- els—some 3.000 in all—were outside the works at no great distance, marching upon the fortifi- cations. The commander immediately sent out his cavalry, and held the colored troops for reserves, incase the cavalry had to fall back. It turned out well that this precaution was ta- ken, for, after engaging the enemy and finding they were about to be overpowered, the cavalry did fall back and joined the colored infantry A battle then took place, which was wiged on both eides with terrific tury. The rebels pressed forward on the white and black tro ps + Opposed to them with all their strength. Our service rendered under this proclamation. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this fif- teenth day of June, ia the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred + Liaalg? and sixty-three,and of the independence of the United States the eighty-seventh. ABERAHAM LINCOLN. By the President: Writiam H. Sewarp, Secretary of State, THE SITUATION. We have the following information in regard to the new movement of Lee: As long ago as Sunday and Monday last, yesterday and to-day week, Longstreet and Ewell passed through Culpeper, headed towards the Shenandoah Valley, marching by two differentroutes, The | dispatches in the morning papers speak only j -of Ewell’s corps, estimated at from ten to | eighteen thousand men, as haying made their appearance in front of Milroy. We take it that Longstreet’s corps is also to be taken imto account as increasing the Con- federate force there, and we shall not .be sur- prised to hear that while Ewell was engaging Milroy at Winchester Longstreet was moving cross the Winchester and Potomac railroad towards Martinsburg, with a view to bagzing by asudden movement both Milroy’s force at | Winchester, (10,000 men,) McReynolds’ at | Berry ville (3,000) and Tyler's at Martinsburg, | (2,00.) On Satarday morning j Gen. McReynolds Was attacked at Berryyille (12 miles east of Winchester on the Washington and Winches- ter turnpike) by an over-powering force of the enemy under Gen. Trimble and tell back to Winchester after a fierce combat. Onthe same day and about the same time Winchester was atiacked on the south by Ewell and Milrey on | that day repulsed Ewell sharply and, it is said, | reported that he could hold out until reinforce- ments reached him. He was also attacked on yesterday, but as his communic ations’ with Harper's Ferry are cut it is not knowy what were the results. At | the worst Le could fall back ou Romney, to the northwest of Winchester, and south of Cum- | berland. | A foree of the enemy. apparently of thesame that moved on Berryvilie. advanced to Mar- | tunsburg, and at 4 ™ m. yesterday demanded | the surrender of that place, giving half anhour | zor the women and cnildren to leave the town. | Geu. Tyler refused to surrender, and an artil- lery fight followed, as to the results of which, trom the interruption of conimunication, we have no report It is evident. however, that the Confederates bave received sufficient check in their adyance to give opportunity of heading them off in their forward movement of invasion, and of iitercepting their retreat, measures to which effect are now being carried out with due en. ergy. The stirring proclamation of the President in Saother column shows that the Government | is tully preparing itself to meet the exigencies vt the cuse. ON THEI WAY TO THE FIELD. Lieut. Col. O. H. Yost, Assistant Adjutant General Sd Army Corps, arrived in this city | to-day, en route for the battle-deld. He has heen at home on #*leave of absence, for the benefit of his health. Capt. Frye, Aid@e-camp to Major General | Sickles, arrived this morning, and is on his way | to the tield of battle. He was wounded at the ‘battle of Cxancellorsville, and hasso far recov- | ered as to be able to attend to his duties in the field. 7 Despatches from San Francisco say that hastilities between Great Britain and Japan — are probable.

Their retreat was ust followed up, our men being so much ex- hausted. Our forces fell back to their works, and preparations were made for defense. In th» evening the steamer St. Clond came up from below, and learning the bad staie of af- tairs returned for reinforcements of artillery und a gnnboat. Both were started up, and the gunboat Choctaw arrived upon the spot ear ly | on Sunday morning, to find that the rebels had | Teturned. During the night they had busied themselves In gathering a large nuiber of mules together, ani when day broke started them forward, using them as as a means of protection, while th -y followed close behind. They were prompt. ly met by our troops this timé, behind their breastworks. Gradually the rebels moved their line, sacrificing their mules to the rifle shots, and opened upon the works with rifles, shot. guns and artillery; but they made little by their sirategy. They had t fairly engaged when the gunboat Choctaw came in for her share in the fight, using with effect her heavy guns, charged with shell. An unfortunate shot from the Choctaw, it is said, killed several members of the negro regiment. It was owing tothe fact that she was notable to raise her guns sufficiently to fire above them. This was remedied. The fight continued, and when the Choctaw suceeeded in getting range, sent such asterm of shot and shell into the Rebel ranks that, after being once or two rallied, they broke in disor- der nd fled, taking off their dead and wounded. It was impossible tor my informant to learn the extent of our loss, but it must have been heavy. One hundred colored men fell. enemy’s loss was also considerable, and up to the latest dutes on Monday, when the steamer Niagara left for Memphis, they had not returned to renew the attack. Should they do so, suffi- cient reinforcements in artillery have been for- warded to give them sudden and effectual | Quietness. Colored Troops to be Mustered vice in Pennsylvania.

Alarmists in Washington, taking advantage of the known fact that Hooker has been changing his position, have been active in circulating hints and sug- gestions ot disasierand loes. Ourstores, trains hospitals, &¢., &c., at Aquia Creek and Fal- mouth had been destroyed by Hookerin his rapid retreat, according to these quid nuncs. Hooker's headquarters were at Warrenton, with Lee moving in his rear via ‘Thoroughfare Gap, acccording to one alarmist, and again it ‘was reported that Lee was absolutely at Cat- lett’s station. Without giving the enemy any information beyond what they already know, it may be stated that Hooker has made his change ot po- sition without the slightest loss in men or ma- terial (of value,) and that the only burning | thathas taken place has been that of uscless | rubbish, snch as always happens when an army changes its camping ground.

The approach of a wagon train of ours, headed by cavaly, at Aquia Creek, yesterday, created the unfounded elarm there of the approach of the enemy. A force of the rebcls was reported by our scouts to be at Potomac Creek, and a visit from this body was anticipated at Aquia, but they did not make their appearance, and if at all at Potomae Creek must have been in inconsidera- ble numbers. The 6th Army Corps, (Sedgewick’s.) which has been on the south side of the Rappahar- nock, recrossed without loss. ment ‘ts been the direct opposite of a retreat, and that his purpose is evidently to follow Lee up @s closely as possible, with an eye, at the me time, io fully Maintaining the defenses of hington city ; and if Lee shall undertake the desperate expedient of another invasion ot the North, he will find his second ex- periment in that liae even a more costly one to hin than the lessons he receiyed at South Mountain and Antietam.

IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH. es RICHMOND IN ie AS TH PERTUBA- TION OVER HOOKER’: ICIPATED A MOVEMENTS AS IS WASHINGTON IN VIEW OF LEE'S DITTO. —— A FEDERAL ADYANCE UPON RICHMOND VIA TUE P NSULA. Se age a [From tho Richmond Sentinel of June 13.) From Fredericksburg the report is that all continues quiet. The enemy have thrown up works on this side of the river, near their pon- toon bridges, as a protection. Our Generals could shell them out if they thought it worth while. Both sides, however, lie still, Fred- ericksburg is in our possession, unmolested by the enemy. From Culpeper we do not learn much addi- tional. Capt. Thomas Towson, of Stattord, was one of the slain in the late battle. His remains haye been taken to Lynchburg for sepulture. There was considerable excite»ent here yes- terday over the news that the enemy were exhibiting considerable force on the Peninsula, and advancing in a threatening manner. We learn that a column of 3,000 or 4,000 were camped at Barhamsville, in New Kent county, on Thursday night. Their gunboats are also reported in the James and Chickahominy. Our troops in the Peninsula are said to haye fallen back to avoid being taken in flank from the navigable waters. Appropriate measures will doubtless be taken by our military to arrest the enemy. it is most likely, we think, a plundering and burning raid, ready, however, to profit by any opportunity to put an affront or serious injury upon us. If the people of Richmond have been waiting for the coal of tire that makes even a terrapin move, they have got it now. Let them fill up the companies of Home Guards by instant action, if they think their homes are worth defending. Of the numcrous reports which were current we do notdesm it necessary to make mention. One of them was to the effect that Hampton Roads was white with transports which had brought Hooker's men to the Peninsula. We think this is a mistake as our exchanged priso- ners have just returned by that route. CAPTURE OF ONE OF GEN. LEE’S STAFF. Capt. S. P. Dushan, a member of General Lee’s staff, was sent to the city to-day as a prisoner of war by Gen Stahl. Capt. Todd committed him to the Old Capitol. REBELS REPORTED AT BELLE PLAINS. It is reported in Washington to-day that three Tegiments of the rebels were at Belle Plains, (on Potomac creek,) this morning. They had, however, not made any movement upon Aquia Creek. WF An intelligent conscript, who deserted from Bragg’s army and came into the Federal lines at Murfreesboro’ on the 10th, says that, according to his judgment, there are&,000troops about Shelpyville and at Bragg’s headquarters. There are about 20,000 at Tullahoma. Large reinforcements—rather more than two-divi- sions—halve undoubtedly gone to Mississippi.
