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

March, in the year of our Lord

l?ut: My attention has been directed tc
a resolution reported in ilie newspaper?
as having been i -itroduced into the bod}
over which you preside, having for its
object the purchase, by the city of Kiehmond,
of a house for the use of my
family
I assure you, sir, that no want ol
appreciation of the honor conferred me
by this resolution, or it, induces me ti
ask, as I most respectfully do, that nc
further proceedings be taken with reference
to the subject. The house is not
necessary for the use of my family, and
my own duties will prevent mv residence
in liiohin >n.l. L should, therefore,
be compelled to decline the generous
oiler, and trust that whatever means the
purpose may bo devoted to the relief < !
the families of our soldiers ia tiio field,
who :.re more in want of assistance ami
more deserving of it. than myself.

A celebrated L'aris j-hysieian recently
attended the only child of rich parents,
and with the aid of Providence saved the
infant's life. A day or two after her
darling was prmiout.e i out of danger, the
grateful mother vi-irod the man of
se'cnce. at his oflic.
" ih'Cior," said she, "there are certain
services which mere money cannot
remunerate. Scarcely knowing how to
discharge my debt to you, I have thought
you might be willing to accept this pocketbook,
which 1 have my--elf embroidered,
as a trifling token of my gratitude."
"Madame," retorted the discijdc of
JCseulajiiu.-. somewhat rudely," liie practice
of medicine is n t a matrer of
sentiment. u'l inn: is money,'* and we
expect cur time to bo paid f r in easli.

" Certainty, oladamc. 31 y charge in
your instance, is two thousand francs."
Y? ithout farther remark, the lady
opened the ? pocket-beiok v.nicli

the live tliousiud franc notes stowed

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." " ;
On this subject, the t'harlotto (X. ('. i
Ik-nioirat says :
A registered bond cannot be sold ? r
trail fcnvtl without first having the entries
cluing d at the Tr-usury Ikpivtnmnt,
which op-ration would c isl so
much time and trouble tliat hut few
tran actions of tint kind will be mud
And it is well that it is so, for if the
bonds could be used as Treasury notes
arc now used, there would be little or
no diminution of the circulating medium,
, and 'ho country w ni l s m he a-rain
