* MISCELLANEOUS. Proclamation by tlic President of the Confederate States of America. The Senate and House of lleprcscn nf tlm ('mi f. iIovm (f> <if America have .signified their desire that a day may be recommended to the people, to be set apart and observed as a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer, in the language following, to wit : lievereatly recognizing the Providence of God in the affairs of uicn, and gratefully remembering the guidance, support and deliverance granted to our Patriot Fathers in the memorable war which re- j suited in the Independence of the Arncrican Colonics, aud now reposing in Ilim our supreme confidence, aud hope in the ; present struggle for Civil and Jleligious freedom, aud for the right to live under a Government of our choice, and deeply impressed with the conviction that without Ilim nothing is strong, nothing wise | aud nothing enduring; in order that the people of this Confederacy may have the opportunity at the same time of oflViiug their adoration to the great .Sovereign o!' the Universe, of penitently confessing their sins and strengthening their vows O O of purposes of amendment in humble reliance upon llis Gracious and Almighty power: The Congress of the Confederate' States of America do resolve, That it be recommended ro the people of these States, that FRIDAY, the t'th day of April next, he set apart and observed as a day of Humiliation, Fasting and' l'raycr, that Almighty God would so ] preside over our public counsels and an-1 thorities; that he would inspire our ar-! mics aud their leaders with wisdom, courage and perseverance; and so manifest Himself in the greatness of His goodness and majesty of His power, that we may be safely and successfully led through the chastening to which we are being subjected, to the attainment of an honorable peace; so that while we enjoy 1 the blessings of a free and happy Government, we may ascribe to Ilim the I honor and the glory of our independence and prosperity. A recommendation so congenial to the feelings of the people will receive their hearty concurrence; aud i! is a grateful duty to the executive to uuito with their representatives in inviting thorn to meet in the Courts of the Most High. liuecnt events awaken fresh gratitude to the Supreme llulor of nations. Our enemies have pu lie red repeated defeats, and a uefari >us scheme to burn and plunder cur Capital, and to destroy our civil Government by putting to death the chosen Servants of the people, has 1 eon bullied and set at naught. Our armies have been .strengthened; our finances! promise rapid progress to a satisfactory ^ condition; and our whole country is animated with a hopeful spirit and a fixed determination t > achieve independence. In these circumstances it becomes us, with thankful hearts to bow ourselves before the Throne of the Most High, and, while gratefully acknowledging so many mercies, confess that our sins as a people have justly exposed us to His chastisement. Let us recognize tie: sufferings which we have been called upon to endure, administered by a fatherly ; hand lbr our improvement, and, with re- ! solute courage and patient, enduaruee, ' let us wait on him for our deliverance. In furtherance of these objects, now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, J'reddent of the Confederate States of America, do issue this mv i'raclamation. callinc / W upon ihc people of the said States, in conformity with the desire expressed by their representatives, to sol apart Friday, the Sth day < f April, as a day of 1?ti1 miliation, Fasting and l'rayer, and I do ( I hereby invite them 011 that day to repair to their several places of public worship k and beseech Almighty <1 od " to preside \ B over our public councils, and so in.-pirc * our armies and leaders with wisdom, courage and perseverance; and so to manifest Himself in the greatness of His goodness, and in the majesty of His. power, that wc may secure the bh >>!:.gs of an honorable peace, and of five g >veru:neut; and that we, as a people, may ascribe all to the Honor and <?i >ry of of Ilis name." Given under my hand and the, seal of the Confederate States of America, at the city of lticli[seal ]tnond, on this Twelfth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thuusaud eight hundred and sixty-four.

Ilcnvon." t | In a miserable cottage at the bottom ) ' of a bill, two children were hovering - over a mouldering lire. A tempest raged ( without, a fearful tempest, against which i- : man ami beast were alike powerless, i ' A poor old miser, much poorer than these shivering children, though he had ; I heaps of money at home, drew his ragt 'led cloak about him, as lie crouched down ; at ilic threshold of the miserable door. ; : lie dared not enter, for fear they would i ask pay for shelter, and he could not I move for the storm* ' J am hungry, Net tie." : ! " fJo am 1; 1 have hunted for a potaj to paring, and can't find any." 1 j " What an awful storm." " Yes the old tree has Mown down, J I guess Clod took care that it did not fall ; ' on the house. See it would certainly have killed us." " if he eould do that, couldn't he send us bread ! i [ : "1 guess so ; let's pray, ' Our Father,' : ! and wiien we come to that part, stop ' till we get some bread." 1 ; So they began, and the miser crouch: ing and shivering, listened. \Y hen ( j they paused, expecting in their childish ; faith to see some miraculous manifesta i tion, a human feeling stole into his heart; j Clod sent some angel to soften it. Tic had bought a loaf at the village, thinking it would last him a great many days: but the silence of the two little children spoke ioudcr to him than the voice ol j many waters, lie opi ned the door soft. iy, threw in the loaf, and listened to the I wild, eager cry of delight that cannffrom ! the half-famished little ones. '' !t dropped right from licaveil, didn't it?" tjuestiouod the youuger. " We'll ask liiin every day, won't we? why, 1 never thought (led was so good, did you?" * "Y'es'I always thought so, hut I never knew it he To re." "Lot's ask him to give father Work to : do all the time, so we never need he . | t hungry again. He'll doit, I'm sure." The storm passed: the miser went home. A little ilower had sprung up in his heart; it was no longer barren. In I ' i a few weeks he died, but not before he had given the cottage, which was his, to the poor laboring man. And the little children ever felt a sweet and solemn emotion when in their matutinal devotion i they came to those truthful words : j 'iivc us this day our daily bread." The Pour Per Cent. Bonds. It is thought by some, that the fo'ir_ nor cent, bonds to be issued i ir the pros-' ' nt currency can be us d in business ' . tran i ins, an 1 will be passed limn hand to hau l as a trcu-ury note is now used. Hut this is a mistake. The law authorizing the issue of these 4 per cent, bonds, says: ' The holders of all such Treasury ' notes shall i'u a J to Weil lo lutnl t:ic same ill ivgi.-Ured bonds, payable *20 years :if' tor their date, bcarimr interest at the 1 rat "I 4 per cent, jar annum, payable i on tlie first ilav of January ami July of carl, year."
