t the cat entirely out of the bag, and admits that the commerce — not the Christianity — of the North will be entirely destroyed if the war is prolonged more than six months or a year. You all, therefore, with one accord, shout at a respectful distance from the battle field, that the conflict should be brief, the onset terrible, the victory overwhelming. You do not admire the Fabian policy of old Fuss and Feathers. You desire to make quick work of it. Alas! that some Murat could not be transferred from that nest of warriors, the Tribune office, to the head of your ragged regiments. But Fortune and Jeff. Davis are opposed to you, and your great idol, H. Ward Beecher, has concluded to stay at home. Consequently, we are forced to the conclusion that your Christianity and humanity — now collected in and around Washington City--and "above all" your commerce, will be injured, severely hurt, and it may be, as we devoutly hope, utterly destroyed and swept away.--Wilmington Her

the Lord of Hosts to guide and direct our policy in the paths of right, duty, justice and mercy, to unite our hearts and our efforts for the defence of our dearest rights; to strengthen our weakness; crown our arms with success, and enable us to secure a speedy, just and honorable peace. To these ends, and in conformity with the request of Congress, I invite the people of the Confederate States to the observance of a day of fasting and prayer, by such religious services as may be suitable for the occasion, and I recommend Thursday, the 13th day of June next, for that purpose; and that we may all on that day, with one accord, join in humble and reverential approach to Him in whose hands we are, invoking Him to inspire us with a proper spirit and temper of heart and mind to bear our evils, to bless us with his favor and protection, and to bestow His gracious benediction upon our Government and country. [Singed] Jefferson Davis. By the President: R. Toombs, Secretary of State.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from North Carolina. Raleigh, May 27, 1861. Your correspondent had the pleasure on yesterday of attending the Convention now in session at Raleigh. A resolution was offered by Mr. Speed, of Pasquotank, to the effect that, under the circumstances of the case, it would be inexpedient for any member of the Convention to be appointed a member of the Congress of the Confederate States. Laid on the table. The body numbers among its members some of the most distinguished sons of the old North State, among whom I noticed Hons. Wm. A. Graham, Mr. Gilmer, and Ex-Gov. Reid. I was shown on yesterday by Hon. Mr. Edwards, President of the Convention, a telegram announcing the fact that President Davis was then at Montgomery. Yours, truly, Oats.

nies, each composed of not less than sixty men. Of this body of men there were nine German companies, five Irish companies, two French companies, and one Italian company. Every day the military force is strengthened by the accession of new military companies.--Daily some of our companies are leaving for Virginia, to offer their services for twelve months. We have a flag six yards long, in the centre of which is the map of Maryland, bordered by the seven stars. On the flag-staff is a small stripe with the words "Jeff. Davis, President of the Confederacy." On both ends of the stripe is a single star, which signifies that the State will soon follow. All the emblazonment on the flag is in gold. The flag was presented by the ladies of Baltimore. Hicks' Union party in this State is not strong enough to oppose the Southern Confederacy men, and should a fight take place between them, they will find it out. The Union party is now having the free negroes drilled in military tactics.

Pierce's Administration, he was appointed by Secretary Davis a Lieutenant Colonel of Cavalry; and on the death of General Jessup in 1860, was made Brigadier General, and assigned to duty as Quartermaster General of the the Regular Army of the Confederate States. As this was a permanent commission, and as the army is his profession, he has accepted the commission tendered by President Davis, and been assigned to the important command at Harper's Ferry. Familiar with every branch of the service, and with all the science, learning and history of hng Southerners, two of them being Virginians. Gen. Albert S. Johnston is on his way from the Pacific, and will doubtless receive a very high appointment from President Davis, with whom he is a great favorite. He is a Kentuckian, and is so much a Southern man, that he has resigned in advance of his State. The South may congratula
