The following Proclamation Of Gen. Har-
rison, after the enemy was driven out Of Mich
igan, will be read with interest, as exhibiting
his prudence and discretion in the manage
ment Of that territory, on such an emergency,
and his disposition 10 restore civil govern
ment within his military command, as soon
as practicable. Like every act Of the heroic
general, it bears the scrutiny Of time.


A PROCLAMATION,


By William Henry Harrison, Major General


in the Army of the United States, and Com


mander in Chief Of the Eighth Military
District.


The enemy having been driven from the
Territory of Michigan, and a part of the ar
my under my command having taken posses
sion of it, II becomes necessary that the CT
vii Government Of the Territory should be
re-established, aud the former officers renew
the exercise of their authority. have,
therefore, thought proper to proclaim that all
appointments and commissions which have
been derived from British officers are at an
end that the citizens of the Territory are re-
stored to all the rights and privileges which
they enjoyed previous TO the capitulation
made by General Hull on the 18th Of Au-
gust, 1912. Under the present circumstances,
and until the will OF the Government be
known, have thought proper TO direct, that
all persons having civil Offices in the Territory
Of Michigan at the period Of the capitulalion
of Detroit, resume the exercise Of the powers
appertaining to their Offices respectively. In
the present dispersed state of its population,
many officers are doubtless absent In all
cases thus situated, the last incumbent who
resigned the Office will resume their exercise
Of its duties. The laws in force at The period
above mentioned will be re-establshed and
continue in force until repealed by the proper
authority.


Given at Head Quarters, the goth day of
September, 1913.
