PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, The laws of the United States have been, and now are, violently opposed in several States by combinations too powerful to be suppressed in the ordinary way; I, therefore, call for the militia of the several States of the Union to the aggregate number of 75,000 to suppress said combination and execute the laws. I appeal to all lawful citizens to facilitate and aid in this effort to maintain the laws and the in- tegrity of the perpetuity of the popular government, and redress wrongs long enough endured. The first serv- ice assigned to the forces, probably, will be to repossess the forts, places and property which have been seized from the Union. Let the utmost care be taken, consistent with the object, to avoid devastation, de- struction, interference with the property of peaceful in any part of the country; and I hereby command the persons composing the aforesaid combination to disperse within twenty days from date.
I hereby convene both Houses of Congress for the 4th day of July next, to determine upon measures of public safety, which the interest of the subject demands.
WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States.
The gauntlet cast down by the traitors of the South was thus accepted in a firm, deter- mined spirit of patriotism and love of country. The world knows with what ready assent the people of the North responded to the call for the defense of that Union they hoped to preserve. The world knows how they, in the strength of this hope, struggled and fought with the legions of wrong until the armor of many was caught in the glint and sunlight of eternity, ere the dews had gone to heaven or the stars had gone to God.
There was no wavering, if there had been a disposition to waver. The people were united in sentiment and prompt in action. The pen could be employed for months in sketching the uprising of the people, the formation of companies, and telling of the deeds of valor and hero- ism of the "boys in blue." From this county there is material here for volumes upon volumes, and it would be a pleasing task to collect and arrange it, but no word our pen could employ would add a single laurel to their brave and heroic deeds. Acts speak louder than words, and their acts have spoken -- are recorded in pages already written. The people of no county in any of the States of the Freedom and Union-loving North, made a better record during the dark and trying times of the great and final struggle between freedom and slavery-patriotism and treason-than the people of St. Clair. Monuments may crumble, cities may fall into de- cay, the tooth of time may leave its impress on all the works of man, but the memory of the gallant deeds of the army of the Union in the war of the great rebellion, in which the sons of their country bore such a conspicuous part, will live in the minds of men so long as time and civilized governments endure. The people were liberal, as well as patriotic, and while the men were busy enlisting, organizing and equipping companies, the ladies were no less active. Committees were appointed to look after the necessities and to secure comfort to the families of those who enlisted. The spirit of the resolutions of the Board of Supervisors, adopted in 1861, and carefully fostered by the board throughout the years of the war, pervaded almost the en - tire community, which was divided into committees, and each committee assigned a duty. Ear-

nestly and honestly did each committee do its work. There were no laggards, no niggards. Men and money were given by tens and hundreds and thousands. No one halted to count the costs. The life of the nation was at stake, and the people were ready to sacrifice all, every- thing for the preservation and maintenance of the Union.
" A union of lakes, a union of lands- A union that none can sever- A union of hearts, a union of hands, The American Union forever."
It would be interesting to record the money contributions-voluntary as well as by means of taxation-made by the people during the years of the rebellion, but that would be impossible. Of the former, no accounts were kept. People never stopped to reckon the cost, or to keep account of what they gave. Whenever money was needed for any purpose, and purposes and needs were plenty, it was given and paid on demand. There were no delays, no excuses, no "days of grace," no time for consideration demanded. People were ready and willing. Hus- bands and fathers abandoned homes and their comforts, their wives and little ones for the dan- gers of tented fields of battle, assured that, in their absence, plenty would be provided for their loved ones. Because of this knowledge, their dreams were none the less sweet, nor their slumbers less refreshing, even if their beds were made upon mother earth, and their covering only that of the starry dome above.
MILITARY STATISTICS OF ST. CLAIR.
The number of men enrolled by assessors in June, 1862, and the number enrolled Sep- tember 10, 1862, with the number subject to draft and to exemption, in St. Clair County, are given as follows: Returned in June, 4,042; returned in September, 4,006; exempt, 972; sub- ject to draft, 3,034.

The aggregate expenditure of St. Clair County for war purposes, up to the close of the year 1866, was $233,291.90.
The amount expended in aiding soldiers' families was $89,428.

Marcus H. Miles was appointed Commissioner to superintend the draft, and C. M. Stock- well commissioned Surgeon. On account of the efforts made by the people to supply the quota required from the county, without having recourse to the draft, the product of such draft was merely nominal.
