Convocation of Congress.
We publish this morning the proclamation of President Davis, calling Congress together this day in the Capitol.
The occasion of this proclamation is simply what is stated in the proclamation.
i. e., the failure to deliver to the President, for his signature, a bill passed by Congress authorizing him to "continue the appointments made by him in the military and naval service during the recess of Congress, or the present session, and to submit them to Congress at its next session." This, and this only, is the cause of convening Congress to-day.
