The intelligence from the scat of war Tor the past week lias not been of a very exciting char­acter, although the public attention is turned towards Corinth and Richmond, in anticipa­tion of stirring events, which are to have a de­cisive effoetupon the result of the war.

Ou Friday last, the Federal Gunboat Fleet on the James River received a repulse at Fort Darling, a strong position 8 miles belosv Rich­mond.

object and po prosecution

In order to allay the, excitement on the sub ject, on Monday last Presidont LINCOLN issued a Proclamation, promptly repudiating and de-. nouncing the course of Gen. hunter. Wo have not room for the document this week, which is "BubstaEiially as follows:

1. That the Government has no authentic information that Gen. Hunter has issued such a proclamation.

2. Tbat Gen. Hunter's proclamation, if is-Bued at all, was issr.ed without the knowledge cf the Government, and without any belief on its part that he had any intention to issue such a document.

3 . That neither Gen. hunter or any other commander or person has been authorizcdSiy the Government to make proclamation de­claring free the slaves'of any State.

4 . That such proclamation, if issued, is al­together void as respects any declaration mak­ing free the slaves of any State.

5 . That whether it is competent for thc -JZresidspt, as Commander-in Chief, to declare

free the slaves of any State, and whether at any time or in any case the exercise of any such supposed power may be indispensable to the maintainence of the Government, are questions which thc President reserves to himself. These questions arc not left for the decision of com­manders in the field.

Late Washington despatches state that the effect of the President's Proclamation in that city was most salutary, "restoring public confi­dence in the determination of the Government to maintain the integrity of the Union and Constitution in thc present crisis.

CONFISCATION.—Thc Louisviile Journal, giv­ing Its views on Confiscation, says :

" The true course, in our judgment, is to put down the rebellion by the plain strong arm, break up and disperse thc revolutionary pow­er, reassert the authority of the government, and then, when wc are clearly in a situation to protect the rebel citizen if he returns to his al­legiance, wc may wisely as well as rightfully denounce confiscation against him if he con­tumaciously refuses to return.

About five minutes after, we got another shot very near where the ^ r s t one struck. As it came through, it killed one man instantly and wounded four more of the gun crew. We fought them four hours, until we got out of ammunition, then we had to return. We got two shots in our side and seventeen on deck.
