usting in the justness of our cause, we appeal to Him that He may set at naught the efforts of our enemies, and put them to confusion and shame: Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis President of the Confederate States in view of the impending conflict, do hereby set apart Friday, the 15th day of November, as a day of fasting humiliation and prayer; and I do hereby invite the Reverend Clergy said; the people of these Confederate States, to repair on that day to their usual places of public worship, and to implore the blessing of Almighty God upon our arms, that He may give us victory over our enemies, preserve our homes and a fare from pollution, and secure to us the restoration of peace and prosperity. Given under my hand and the seal of the Confederate States, at Richmond, this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one. Jefferson Davis.

ederal army well speedily lead to a discharge of all the prisoners of war held by the Federal Government and the Confederates. Such an arrangement would be a very convenient one for she Federalists. We have probably about ten prisoners' to their one, and they are trying our gallant privateers for their lives. We appealed that the Confederate Government attend to keep the best pledges possible in it hands to prevent the execution of Lincoln threats to treat our privateers as pirates. President Davis has already assured him that he shall pay for life, and he is undoubtedly man to keep his word. Nothing else will prevent the execution of Southern men in Northern prisons, and hence we should always keep the best of the Federal officers and men as hostages for the good conduct of the many. Not a hair of their heads should be touch, not even an insulting word or look ad to them, so long as the despot at Washington adheres to the rules of civilized warfare; but when he departs from th

From Washington. Nashville, Nov. 3. --A special dispatch to the New York Tribune, dated Washington October 28th, says Gen. Scott will voluntarily retire from his rank and its duties within ten days, solely on account of his physical infirmities. Under an act of Congress he will continue to draw his pay. Hon. Jefferson Davis, when Secretary of War, overhauled the long-standing account of Scott with the Government, and brought him largely in debt. Cameron, who has recast the account, says he had never overdrawn. On the 26th ult., an order was issued from the Commander-in-Chief that Fremont should surrender his command to the next in authority and Gen. Hunter sent Gen. Curtis to St. Louis to take the place of Fremont, unless he was actually in the presence of the enemy, or pursuing him for battle. Senators Chandler, Wade, Turnbull, and Wilkinson were at Washington, representing to the Administration that the popular clamor of their constituents demands that McClellan

t great length to review the cause of the war — which was not one for the abolition of slavery — and passed to a careful analysis of the testimony that had been submitted. He also referred to the law governing the case of the Joseph, recently tried in Philadelphia. In the course of his argument, the learned gentleman spoke very plainly in regard to Mr. Lincoln, and other members of the Government, so much so, that, at times, his friends were apprehensive he was making a special plea for Jeff. Davis as well as his clients. Nevertheless, his eloquence frequently elicited bursts of applause from the audience, which the Court, how ever, promptly repressed. The argument will be continued till to-morrow. The Philadelphia Ledger, of the 29th ult., says that there are five vessels lying there, captured while trying to run the blockade.
