The Proclamation Of " Freedom."

The Pfesidoot's proclamatioD freeing the alavés held in eer' aio specified States anti pnrts of States wiil be fuund on tho second page ol tliis sheet. It fs an important document, inoro important, hovveyer, for what it assumes to do than for what it really does. it is iasuod as a war mensure, and it retnains to be een what effect it will havo upon tho war. And as a war measure it falla greatiy short of satisfying tho radicáis, and alroady the. clergymen of New York have petitionod the President to mako it more svveeping, to so enlarge it as to give freedom to every slave, including tho&e of loyal residerits of Border States. - The President a condemued by this elasá of people lor litniting the benefits of his proclamation to States in whieh bis arrniea have vet no'fooLhold, and in which it ca'nnot yet accoraplisb mueh. We are not disposed to diseusá this document. We can only sny that we do not believe the President bas any legal authorify, even as a war measure, to do what he has attempted. Proclamations will not put clown the rebellion and restore the Uaion. A peace is to be conqr.ered by tho lorco of anns, and we say push on the armies, preserve llie Union, and let slavery take care of itseif. The rebels have given tho instituiion its death blow, let not the President proloog its life by atternpts to strangle it botb prematurely and illegitimatulv. eO Wo ba vu feceived the ïïeport of the Board of Control, Superintendent, and other officers of the State Reform School for 1862, from which we compilo the following fauts : No. of boys ia school ut date of last report, 145 Reeeived during the year, 72 Discharged during yeaf, 34 Leaving in School Nov. 16, 1862, 183 of whorn 163 are white boys, and 20 colt. red boys.
