Fast day.

We publish on our outside page the Proclamation of President Davis, for a National Fast, to-morrow. We trust the day will be strictly observed through all the Confederate States; that all places of business will be closed, and that especially establishments for the sale of liquor will not dispense the means of feasting and frolicking on a day of fasting and prayer.
