Proclamation by the President. Richmond, February 20.?The following proclamation lias just been issued : Tbe termination of the provisional Government affords a fitting occasion again to present ourselves in humiliation, prayer and thanksgiving before that God who has safely conducted us through the first year of our national existence. We have been enabled to lay anew the foundations of free Government and to repel the efforts of our enemies to dc strov us. Law has everywhere reigned supreme ; throughout our wide-spread limits personal liberty and private rights have been duly honored ; a tone of earnest piety has pervaded our people, and the hundred victories which we have obtained over our enemies have been justly ascribed to Him who ruleth the universe. AYc had hoped that the year would have closed npon a scene of continued prosperity, but it has pleased the Supreme Dispenser of Events to order it otherwise. We arc not per mitcd to furnish an exception to the rule of 1 Divine Government, which has prescribed at- j lliotion as the discipline of nations, as well as j of individuals. Our faith and perseverance 1 must be tested, and the chastening which ' fifiOinnt.h rrrinvoiift will if vinrlitlv vi?r>nii-/wl l.i-Ii..* ' ^ , .. - | forth its appropriate fruits. It is meet and light, therefore, that we | should repair to the only Giver of all victory : ! and humbling ourselves before llim, should! pray that he may strengthen our confidence in his mighty power and righteous judgment. Then may- we surely trust in llim that He will perform his promise, and encompass us as with a shield. In this trust, and to this end, I, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States, do hereby set apart Friday, the twentyeighth day of February instant, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, and I do hereby invite the Reverend Clergy and people of! the Confederate States to repair to their respective places of public worship, to humble themselves before Almighty God in prayer for his protection and favor to our beloved conn try, and that we may be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us. Given under my hand and the seal of the Confederate States, at Richmond, this twentieth day of February, A. 1). 1802. By the 1 'resident: JEFFERSON DAVIS. "Wm. M. Browne, Secretary of State, <ul interim. Gen. Price.?The reported victory of Gen. Price is continued by the following in the last Richmond Dispatch : The following despatch was received by the Commissary-General yesterday morning, and is said to be confirmed by despatches received by the President: Port Smith, February 18?Via Clarksvillci Ark., and Chattanooga, Tenn.?Gens.
