rom a late Northern paper: The folly of the Government in trusting to the sagacity and intelligence of military commanders, without laying down a fixed rule of conduct, having been exemplified by the absurd proclamation of Gen. Phelps, at Ship Island, is further illustrated in a new proclamation, issued by General Lockwood to the people of Northampton and Accomac counties, Va., in which he says: "The Government must be upheld, and if the people of the two counties would not submit tople to vote, whenever they wish so to do or not, is something new in American history, and his threat of confiscation, freeing the slaves, &c. --row resting only with Congress — is another melancholy instance of the gross abuse of power sometimes attempted by military men. If Gen. Phelps, at Ship Island, has been guilty of misrepresenting the views of the Government, Gen. Lockwood is not less culpable. We may remark further that Lockwood's address is a singular one to send to "loyal" people.
