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.
