PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT —— By the President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION. It has pleased Almighty God to hearken to ments have! been ordered home; that the rdtreat of Lee is a rout, with much heavier loss to the rebels than at first supposed. It also confirms the good news from Charleston. There was rioting this afternoon. The mob again collected in Gare Ge street, where a hegro was hanging. fusing to disperse, 8 howitzer was trained upon the riotors, with canister. The first discharge Nfs out six. Two more discharges increased number to twenty-two, witen the remainder of the villains ran away. Two negroes were killed this afternoon—one | on pier No. 4, the other in Washington street. ‘arper Brothers and J. A. Gray, printers, and others, have been warned that their estab- lishments will be destroyed if the workmen shall be kept on duty. The colored people are fleeing the city in all irections. Gold has fallen to $127. The markets are all the supplications and prayers of an afilicted | dull and nominal; ne business of importance people, and to youchsafe to the army and navy | is transacted. of the United States victories on land and on the sea co signal and so effective as to far- nish reesonable grounds tor augmented confi- dence that the Union of these States will be maintained, their Constitution preserved, and their peace ard prosperity permanently re- stored. But these victories have been accord- ed not without sacrifices of life, limb, health, and liberty, ircurred by brave, loyal, and pa- triotic citizens. Domestic affliction in every part of the country follows in the train of these fearinl bereavements. It is mete and right to recognize and cor fess the presence of be Almighty Father and the power of His hand equally in these triumphs and in these sorrows. Now, therefore, be it known, that I do set apart Thursday, the sixth day of August next, to be observed as aday for National Thanks- giving, Praise and Prayer, and I inyite the people of the United States to assemble on that occasion in their customary places of worship, and in the forms approved by their own con- sciences, render the homage due to the Divine Majesty for the wonderful things He has dona in the Nation’s behalf,and invoke the influence ef His Holy Spirit to subdue the anger which bas produced and so long sustained a needless and cruel rebellion, to change the hearts of the insurgents, to guide the counsels of the Goy- ernment with wisdom adequate to so greata national emergency, and to visit with tender care and consolation throughout the length and breadth of our land all those who, through the vicissitudes of marches, voyages, battles, and sieges, have been brought to suffer in mind, | use of gas to-night, owing to the limited supply. body, or estate, and finally to lead the whole nation, through the paths of repentance and submission to the Divine will, back to the per- test enjoyment of Union and traternal peace. In witness whereof I haye hereunto set | my hand and caused the seal of the United { States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this /£f- teenth day of July, in our Lord one thousand eight hundred {L.8.] and sixty-three, and of the independ- ence of the United States of America the eighty-eighth.

They are burning buildings between T wenty-eighth and T wenty- ninth streets, It is reported that seyeral colored people were killed. A serious riot alsooccurred in Third avenue, near Thirty-fitth street. It is said to be very extensive. The police and military were hotly engaged, the latter firing on the mob and occa- sionally using the bayonet. They have been reinforced, and a field piece sent them. Atthree o’clock this afternoon a meb entered an alley in the rear of Twenty-eighth street and Second avenue, in which fifteen or twenty negro families resided. They burst open houses, and found some unfortunates, who were badly handled. One, ramed Van Cliff, was beaten to a dying state with a crowbar. Some upon Twenty-seventh street were also entered, and Alfred Dudley killed by the fiends. Cruelties of the worst kind have also been practiced on the blacks, such as furniture broken and houses seton fire. Women looking after their property were driven off by the mob, having to run a fearful gauntlet. The Gas Works Threatened. New York, July (5.—The Hudson River Railroad Company has commenced relaying the track torn up by the mob. They have a gunboat in the river to protect the road. A crowd surrounded the gas works at the foot of Fourteenth street, smashed the windows and severely beat several persons. A detach- ment of troops soon took possession of the works, which the mob now threaten to destroy, and murder everybody in them. The gas company have requested a sparing Gen. Brown hus received intelligence tnat Forts Richmond and Columbus wouid be at- tacked. The General said he hoped they would; He chougntthe mob would get a lesson if they id.

Both Union and rebel papers haye reported him killed, and the letter do not yet Know to the contrary. Gen. Kemper is a Virginian, Col, Patton, of the 7th Virginia (rebel) in- fantry, and a State Senator elect to the rebel Virginia Legislature, was also left upon the field as dead; but he, too, is in a Federal hos- pital, and with a prospect of recovery. A COMMISSIONER. Mr. Wemyss Jobson, of London, hes arrived in this city, for the Purpose of proposing an adjustment of the difficulties between the North @nd the South. He has had an interview with some of the governmental authorities, but we believe found them not disposed to *‘adjust” with the rebels on any terms short of the old ones of unconditional submission on their part, and an agreement hereafter to keep step to the music of the Union. As Mr. Jobson professes to be acting in behalfofthe European Republicans, it might be well for him te con- ter with Mr. Moncure Conway, who has gone to Europe on a similar mission in behalt of the American Abolitionists, and the twomight associate themselves with Mr. W. Cornell Jewett, of Colorado Territory, General Pacifi- cator, and the trio may perhapsbe able to cook up something worthy the attention of the world in the rdjustment line.

The rumor ot the seizure of ordnance by the pelice arose trom the fact that cannon was lice mm a custom-house and warehouse in the 27th precinct. Mayor Opdyke recommends an immediate proclamation of murtial law. Goy. Seymour opposes it. We have some particulars of the riot in Thirty-fifth street to-day. It appears tu: another attack on the Fitth avenue arsenal was to be made. A detachment of two hundred and fifty in- tantry. with sn artillery company, with four <2-pounder howitzers, proceeded to the corner ot Thirty-fitth street and Broadway. From Sixth to Seventh streets are crowded with men, women and children. Fifteen minutes were given to the crowd to disperse, bnit no one stirred, and, at the expira- tion of the time allowed, the artillery, loaded with canister, opened. Five rounds were fired, and a good many hurt, but it is not known how many. The street was then cleared. A negro had been previously hung at the cor- ner of Thirty-second street and Sixth avenue, His body wis cut down by the troops justas he expired, The military having dispersed the mob from the vicinity, the firemen checked the flames, so only three or four buildings were | burned. The rioters proceeded to Thirty-third street, and erected a barricade of wagons across Thirty-third street and Sixth ayenue. Some hundred negro women and children were allowed to escape, but none of the colored men. The buildings occupied by colored people were set on fire with the intention ot burning the col- ored men in them. At last accounts the military had arrived at the scene, anda fight has probably occurred. New York, July 15.—The Fifty-sixth mili- tia regiment arrived trom Buffalo, and this evening, with a bat- 3 ttached to the Eighth regi- ment, manned by its artillery troops.

In the tenth ward the poliee seized several cases of arms, recently imported, and put them out of harm’s way. Col. Wm.

The city has been divided into four sections, with a large number of police and troops in each ready as a reserve for attacks. The people of Harlem have organized a patrol 450 strong, and that locality is quiet. ‘The 15th regular artillery regiment has ar- rived, and reported to Gen. Brown. Gov. Seymour savs there is now no regularly 1 o ized mob, but merely gangs of marauders, H who attack and destroy property which is un- detended; that the policeand military are most worn out, and he expects the citizens to organ- ize in squads of fifty or a hundred, arm and equip themeelves, and assist the authorities in putting down the disturbance.

C., July 12th, 1563. Major Gert H.W. Halleck, Generai-in- Chief, U.S. A. Washington, D. C. Sir» Ihave the honor to report that at five | o'clock ou the morning of the 10th inst., I made anattack upon the enemy’s fortified position on the south end of Morris Island, and after an engagement of 34 hours, captured all his strongholds upon that part of the Island, and pushed forward my infantry to within 600 yards of Fort Wagner. We now hold all the Island except about 1 mile on the north end which includes Fort Wagner and a battery on Cumming's Point mounting at the present time 11 or J5 heavy guns in the aggregate. The assaulting column was gallantly led by | Brig. Gen. Strong. It landed in small boats under cover of my batteries on Folly Island and four monitors led by Rear Admiral Dahl- gren, which entered the main channel abreast of Morris Island, soon after our batteries opened. The monitors continned their fire during the day mostly on Fort Wagner. On the morning of the 1ith instant, at day- dreak, an effort was made to carry Fort Wag- ner by ascault. The parapet was gained, but the supports recoiled under the fire to which they were exposed, and could not be got up. Our loss in both actions will not vary much trom 150 in killed, wounded, and prisoners. We have taken 11 pieces of heavy ordnance and a large quantity of camp equipage. The enemy's loss in killed, wounded and missing will not fall shori of 200. Q. A. GiLmonrs, Brig. Gen. Comdg. DESTRUCTION OF REBEL SALT WORKS NEAR ALLIGATOR BAY, FLORIDA. Acting Rear Admiral T. Bailey, commanding E. G. B. Squadron, reports that the boats of the Somerset were recently sent out to recon- noiter St. Georges Sound, haying for their special object to determine, if possible, the pre- cise locality of some extensive sait works which had been in operation since the com- mencement of the rebellion, near Alligator Bay, Florida. Their locality being discovered, it was de- termined to attempt their destruction. For this purpose the Somerset was brought within 1,100 yards of the shore, and within range of the works. The woods were shelled, and the boats, with sixty-five seamen and marines, | were sent on shore, together with a party from the Engineer’s Division, armed with sledge- ell undor command of Acting Master Chatfield. Those armed with muskets were deployed as skirmishers in the rear of the settlements to pro- tect the working party who in their turn per- formed the duty entrusted to themin a thor- ough manner. Four distinct stations were de- molished, 65 salt kettles destroyed, more than 200 bushels of salt scattered on the sand and about 30 huts and houses with all their appur- tenances for constructing and repairing the works burned. The enemy sent cavalry to protect the works, but before their arrival the work was completed and our men withdrawn without the loss of a man.

Theriotis rapidly subsiding. depredators were visible below 36th street this morning, and the few gangs ofruffians whostill hold out are imperfectly organized and widely scattered. There have been little spirts of a riotous feeling at two or three places to-day, bunt the presence of the returned militia seems to haye extinguished the hopes of the plundering thieves. Mr. Andrews, of Virginia, fell into the hands of the police this morning, and is now in close confinement. By profession he is a lawyer. It is reported that he has lately been occupied as awriter for the Daily News ot this city. His last public performance was aspeech to the rioters, whose conduct he warmly applauded, and offered to lead. The Hudson River Railroad is running all right to-day.

The most daring act of the rioters was an at- tack upon the armory in Cooper street, where aforce of the military was stationed. When the mob had beaten down the doors, it was fired upon from a six pounder, loaded with canister, This effectually scattered the mob at that point. One rioter was completely riddled by shot, and fell dead at the door of the armory. William Currier, 71 years of age, who was mortally wounded while standing on thestoop of his house in Cooper street, is now dead. William Look, provision dealer, residing in Salem street, was severely wounded in the thigh. Three young women, and three or four small boys, were wounded, but not seriously in the riot. Two soldiers in the armory were injured by bricks. The rioters who attacked the gunshops were speedily dispersed by a volley from the reyol- vers of the police. The first dragoons appeared at nine o'clock, patroling the streets, and together with the in- tantry force, overawed ail further outbreaks. The military continue in quarters in sections of the city where the disturbance occurred. Mayor Lincoln has issued a proclamation warning all riotously disposed persons from further violence, and calling upon all citizens THE COOPER to aid in the preservation of quiet and order, He says the peace of the city shall be preserved at all hazards. The leading rioters arrested last night are to be proceeded against for burglary and wilful murder. LATER. There are indications of another outbreak to-night.

We have to inform the Republican that the Star has always thus published them, and it our neignbor would devote one half the atten- tion and space to the schools and to school affairs thatthe Star has uniformly done, its suddenly professed interest in such matters would not put it in so ridiculous an attitude. The Chronicle also, which has shown its zeal in behalf of the public schools to the extent of copying verbatim, typographical errorsandall, the Star’s reperts of the examinations, takes elaborate pains ata large outlay of words to correct the Star in the statement that the Rev. Dr. Gray offered prayer at the Smithsonian esterday. He did not pray, and the Rev. ir. Morsell did, the Chronicle says. Is it pos- sible! Eee Communication OreNED.—This morning the repairs on the line of the Wachington Branch Railroad were completed, and the train leaving Kaltimore at 8 o’clock this morning arrived here about noon, bringing the mails and the Northern papers. Yesterday the mails and much of the gage of the passengers were transferred at Laurel by way of the turnpike bridge, but the trains each way this mornin; carried off the large amount of baggage an: express freight which had accumulated at this point. Another train leaves this afternoon, but after to-day the old schedule of six trains each way per day will go into operation. The president and the various officers and em. loyees of the company, as wellas Col. McCal Tom. of the military roads, deserve much credit for their prompanoes and energy in having the necessary repairs made at once. Se A RioT.—About noon te-day @ fight occur- red near the corner of Indiana avenue and First street, between two seldiers, in which one or two pistol skots were fired, but fortunately without effect. The pistols were then used over each other’s heads, and one of them was badly cut about the face; the other also being badly used. The reports of the pistols im- mediately brought together about thirty sol- diets, friends of the combatants, who joined in the fight, and a number of citizens who where near by also “went in.” For a short time things looked squally, and it was feared that something serious would happen, but a guard. of the 14th N. H. were promptly on the spot, and arrested three of the principals,(who were taken to the Central Guard-house,) and dis- persed the others. about 7 o'clock —o——- A Goop Havt.—Yesterda: p. m., as officer Cline of the First Precinct was going the round of his beat, east of the Ana- costia, he noticed three men in 4 stage coach approaching this city. Suspecting that they were not right, he followed them. The guards at the bridge allowed them to pass, but Cline was not satisfied, and pushed on after them and arrested them. He took them tothe Pro- vost Marshal, where gave their names as H. Hamberger, Moses Mann and Wm. Lutz- bocker, all Germans, and claim to be mer- chants. Upon search nein papi money was found upon m. 'y j= ad to have been engaged in trading with ichmond, and were returning from & trip. Capt. Todd sent them to the Old Capitol. ———._—_—_ -WasHIneron Mon- Larner Srey ed in & 126.
