duties and ambitious aspirations of lifei
self-reliant and animated by the noblest aims,'

| It is that a day bo appointed, on which at j
certain hour, they, with one consent shall uni
tedly beg for fkack, from Htm in whoad handi
are the hearts of men and the destinies of na
tions. Prayer is being made continually foi
the success of our arms in battle, and thest
prayers have been auswered, in many instances
beyond our hopo. Every prayer doubtless
breathes an earnest petition for Peace, but it is
now suggested that our faithful women shal1
unue 10 pray in an especial manner for it; tlial
God would forgive our enemies and turn thcii
hearts, and that lie would forgive us our debts
and would speedily deliver us from the evi1
hands of bloody men.
Let Monday, the 1st day of next Deecmhci
be appointed, and on that day at 12 M., lot the
heart of every wife, mother, sister and daughter,
in every State in the Confederacy, go up
in solemn, fervent prayer to God for peace.
In addition to this proposition, we find in
the Kr.oxville Register the following earnest
and eloquent appeal for united prayer, from si
"soldier," who after referring to the communication
above mentioned proceeds to say:
We hope that no wife or mother or sister in
the Confederate States, will permit the call to
go by unheeded. It is becoming that theyi
whose hands have not been imbrued with Mood,
should present this great petition to the throne
df our Heavenly Father. Soldiers and countrymen,
of whatever rank or station, let me sug.
gest that we also unite with those mother
wives and sisters, on that day, and in that hour
to pray that the hand of the Destroying Angel
may be stayed before we arc all sunk in hopeless
ruin. Let the workman close his shop;
the merchant his store. Let all trade and
business of every description be deserted. Let
the soldier retire to the silent grove, or unite in
prayer with his pious comrades in the font.
Let the sentinel plead for it in his silent tread,
aud the sick soldier upon his lonely couch.
Let heaven be emphatically besieged on that
day by the entreaties and supplications of earnest
souls, for peace?an honorable pcace<
Oh! my countrymen, reraembsr, only one hour
of that time which is not yours but God's, is
all that is asked for, in which to 'unite with
those whom we love, (and who have shown in
a thousand ways, their love to us), to plead
with the throne of Jehovah, for the inestimable
blessings of peace and independence upon us
and our posterity. God has told us that where
even two or three of his children unite in asking
a blessing lie will give it to them in a special
manner. Oh! my countrymen, will lie
shut those ears which arc ever so ready to
catch the first breathing of a penitent soul!
will He I say, shut them against the earnest
cry of a penitent nation? On one remarkable
occasion, where our Saviour was in groat trouble,
as we are now He asked his deciples tc
watch and pray with hiir. one hour. Shall lle
have to upraid us as He did them, with those
sorrowful but tender words, "What, could ye
not watch and prav one hour?'' Oh! blessed
Saviour! help us to watch and pray, in thai
hour, as that wo may prevail with Thee, and
secure the blessings of a speedy peace, to oui
tempest tossed and war worn people. Speal
the word only, thou Son of God, to this grc-ai
tempest, "Peace, be still," and there will be t
great calm.
All papers friendly to these suggestions
please copy, and you will oblige one of tha
class for whose interest and comfort, you hav<
watchful eyes. Your friend, A Soldier.

1 Brio. Gen. Euwin Price.?A paragraph, I
? copied from Abolition sheets, has been exten,
sively republished at the South, in relation to
>. Gen. Edwin Piice, which contains a bold,
groundless and malignant falsrhood
Edwin Price never held any commission in the
i Confederate service, but was an officer in the
' Missouri State Guard, which organization
I is now disbanded. lie was captured on the
Osage, last February, while conducting a body
; of recruits to join Major-General Price in ArI
kansas, and was confined for months- in the
' penitentiary at Alton, Illinois, whence he was
i released on parole. When the cartel for the
. exchange of prisoners was perfected, he re?
paired to the army at Holly Springs. Having
. no command, he did not regard his presence
. in the army as important, and returned to his
home in Missouri, as a citizen, without taking
- any oath, or being placed under any restric'
tions. He is a true and gallant man, and has
i done nothing and submitted to nothing which
can compromise him in the estimation of his
friends.?Jackson Mississippian.

The following communication from the President
to Lieut. Gen. Holmes, commanding the
Trans-Mississippi Department, is published:
Executive Office, November 17, 1602.
General: Enclosed you will find a slip from
' the "Memphis Daily Appeal, of the 23d inst.,
containing an account pnrpoting to be derived
from tho Palmyra (Mo.) Courier, a Federal
1 journal, of the murder of ten Confederate citi'
zens of Missouri, by order of Gen. McNeil, of
1 the United States army. You will communi!
catc with the Federal officer commanding that
! department, by flag of truce, and ascertain
! whether the facts are as stated. If they be so>
' you will demand tho immediate surrender of
1 Gen. McNeil to the Confederate authorities;
1 and, if this demand is not complied with, you
p will inform said commanding officer that you
: are ordered to execute the first ten United
^ States officers who may be captured and fall
1 into our hands.
Very respectfully, yours,
? (Signed) Jkefer80n Davis.
1 europnan Opinion.?Tho London Penny i
Newsman, of October 5th, in its summary of;
news, says:
Our domestic intelligence consists in the
visit* of leading men of the House of Commons
to their constituents. The theme on which
they eloquently discanted being of course the
, American war. As we have mentioned in an,
other place, the belief to which one and all of
l. the speeches gave expression was that the
j Southern Confederacy had shown themselves
I powerful enough to defend and able to maintain
their independence. Thatydiis will shortly
l" lead to the recognition of the independence of
r. the Confederate States no sane man can now
i- deny. The extraordinary fertility of resources
r combined with indomitable bravery and enthusiasm
for the cause in which they are engaged,
added to the brilliant successes already
gained, have created but one feelifig of respect
and admiration throughout Europe.

Nine of the enemy's vessels were seen in tho
vicinity of the lower Brandon Bar, on James*

Later.?The enemy, yesterday, sent Gen.
Patrick to Fredericksburg under a flag, of truce. ^
The object of his mission was to , demand the 1
surrender of Fredericksburg, And to inform I
Gen. Lee that if it was not surrendered or I
evacuated by 9 o'clock this morning, it would y
be shelled and burnt. The demand was.promptrefused
by Gen. Lee, who is in command of ,
our troops.
Advices from Northern Virginia represent
that the enemy has evacuated Warrenton aud t
Manassas. Some have gone towards Washing- 1
ton, but the larger portion, it is believed, liavo I
gone in the direction of Fredericksburg. An 1
official despatch, received here this morning, I
sstate that Manassas Junction and Stone Bridge f
have been abandoned by the enemy.

Latest from Richmond.
Richmond, November 20.?Rumors from
the Valley state that the Yankees are advancing
towards Stauntou by way of Alleghany
Mountains, in Highland county. They number
over four thousand. Their progress in that
direction will soon be checked.
Richmrnd, November 20.?The Petersburg
Express of this morning has late intelligence
from Suffolk?that the enemy is being largely
reinforced there. Reliable parties state tho I
number at 33,000 at that point. Gentlemen f

The Abolition officers at Suffolk make no at- jjm
tempt to conceal that their ultimate intentions ^
and designs aro a march upon Wcldon, to
seize the railroad, and isolate Richmond front

The Express says it would not be surprised
if the enemy wero to march upon Petersburg
iustcad of Weldon.
Serious j Accident.
Florence, November 26.?A serious accident
occurred to the down mail train going to
Wilmington, near Middle Swamp, five miles
West of Florence, on the Wilmington and, ,
Manchester Railroad, caused by the breaking
of a bar of iron which turned tho last coach
over, killing two and wounding fourteen. Nonames
heard.
W.?. J.
Salt.
Gov. Pickens received tho following despatch
on Sunday, dated Marietta, Ga., Nov.
22d:
*'An incxhaustable supply of salt baa been j
discovered in Opcleka, in Alabama. I go A
down to-morrow, and will bo able to contract m
for South Carolina at $5 a bushel, delivered at ^
Augusta, Ga. I havo written hilly, and sent
samples by express/' A
Thb Cartel.?Mr. Ould, the general com-^
missioner for the exchange of prisoners, has
nearly performed the important work entrusted H
to him. The extraordinary facts develped by
the execution of tho recent cartel with respect V
to the numbers of prisoners taken in this war,
are exceedingly curious and have a singular
interest for the historian. We have already
exchanged at Vicksburg about 18,000 prison- HH
ere, and at Varina not less than 20,000, and
that we still have in our hands a snrnlua
of some eight to ten thousand prisoners, ineluding
the Harper's Ferry capture. The statistics
suggest a remarkable and not very honorable
circumstance in this war?the large number
of prisoners taken on both sides.
How to Corn Bxef.?Add two pound
brown sugar to eight gallons of water, also one <
quart of molasses, four ounces of nitre, and fine
salt till it will float an egg. This enough for
two quarters of beef. . I
