With @ beavy heart, bat an ondimin- i-bed confidence in our cause, I approach the performance of a duty rendered imperative by my sense of weakness before the Almighty, and of justice to the people. ‘ is not necessary that I should tell you that the first Virginia campaign under Lientenant General Grant, in whom I have every confl- dence, snd whore courage and fidelity the people do well to honor, is virtually closed. He bas conducted his great enterprise with discieetability. He has inflicted great loss upon the enemy. He has crippled their strength, and defeated their plans.

The following explanatory statement has been issued from the office of the World: “THE Bocus PROCLAMATION OF PRESIDER? Lincoiy.—The World, in common with the Journal of Commerce and all the city morning pepers, was mude the victim of a malicious Lo&x by some scoundrel, who, imitsting the manifold copy of the Associated Press, sens around the extraordinary proclamation which uppeared in our columns this morning. Sup- poring it was all right, published it in good faith, and its falsity was not discovered until the edition was nearly worked off. The World does no: stereotype its forms as do several of ibe other morning papers, and as it is now working off.a very heayy edition daily, we are compelled to go to press at an unusasily early hour. The Journal of Commerce was deceived in the same way as the World, and of course quite as inrocently. The Heraid, we undere stand, printed the false proclamation in a large edition, but fortunately tor them, discovered it in nme to suppress itin sheir regular edition. We regret exceedingly the publication, as we have a just pride in publishing none but relie able news; but it ic one of tuose inexplicable accidents which is liable to happen te any newspaper establishment.
