STATE OF VERMONT.
A PROCLAMATION
by STEPHEN ROYCE. G0rer


As members of community, and as indvidu-
ais, we are at all times amenablc to the Supreme
huler and author Of our being. And since we
are always prone to become unmindful of our
dependence upon Him-to forget his mercies-
to reject his councils-and to transgress his no.
ly will and commandments it is fit that at
proper seasons we should unitedly and in solemn
penitence, humble ourselves before our Maker.
Therefore in accordance with long and APP
proved usage, do hereby appoint FRIDAY,
THE ELEVENTH DAY OF APRIL instant,
to be observed as day of Humiliation, Fasting
and Prayer throughout this State. And do
exhort the people on that day, in strict absti-
ncnce from all unnecessary indulgence, to as
semble at their several places of worship and
devoutly to belnoan their personal sins as well
us those of the state and nation; to supplcatc
the Almighty for resolution and strength to con-
form our lives to his Holy Word; to offer mp
the tribute of flial and unfeigned gratitude for
His manifold goodness and mercy through the
past year; and humbly to implore His preser-
walton of our lives and health and His blessing
upon the labor of our hands the coming season.
Let Us beseech Him to dispose the powers of
the earth to peace; and to grant that feeling
of good will and controlling sense of justice,
may alike pervade the intercourse of nations,
and the business of individuals Let us entrcat
that He will accelerate the spread of knowledge
and civilization through all lands, with Just
views of the relations and accountability of man
to his Creator that He will advance the cause
of civil and religious freedom; that human
slavery, and all other badges and relies Of bar
barism may be ameliorated and their limits
restricted and that oppression may soon cease
from under the whole heaven
Given under my hand and the seal of the State
at East Berkshire, this third day of April. in
the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and
fifty six, and of the independence of the
United States, the eighteth.

The KANSAS COMMISSION Mr.. Greeley writ es
to the Tribune:

some way to strike blow at the Kansas Com
mission, and that message or procama ton
questioning the power of the House to raise it,
will be transmitted on the slightest pretext-
The Southern movement in the House raising
this question, is thought to have Executive
backing. | only know the fact that the Com
mittee have not chosen to apply either to the
President or to the Secretary of War for au-
thority to employ the military force in or near
Kansas, as contemplated by the House.
The object of the visit to Washington of Mr..
Robinson, the Free State Governor of Kansas, is
to ascertain the true state of feeling there rela

thither being contradictory and wholly unreli.

way from Kansas to ST. Louis, the passengers

WASHINGTON, March IL, 1856.
My Dear Sir: | have to thank you for
your kind letter, and for all the friendly SEN
timents expressed and of these the personal
part is the most agreeable The personal
feelings of my friends towards me is what |
have most to cherish hereafter, | never saw
the day | would be willing to be candidate
for the Presidency, and am now futher from
it than ever. No earthly consideration could
make me candidate. The Senate was once
agreeable to me, when there was chance to do
something for the state or the United States.
But that chauce seems now to 10 over, and
all craftsmanship reduced to hurrah on one
side or the other of svery. Even local inter.

flashed, which will be some time in April, |
shall come to Missouri, and. Of course, shall
have to speak-to what extent | do not know
but certainly only for thepurpose of adding
my friends aud the democratic cause, and
without any view to personal consequence
Congress is no longer desirable to me politics
have run down too low to have any attrac

in a contest of great principlcs--of great
measure-of great men-and cannot wear
out the remainder of my days in slave agi.

it.
I have worked enough marked out to oc
cupy the remainder of my life, and Of kint
to be pleasant and profitable to me, if no
beneficial to a future generation-which
think it may be. i propose to abridgc the
debates of Congress from 1889 to 1850 also
to continue my history from 1850 to the da,
of my death. This is work enough for me
and of more dignity Ito say nothing of any
thing else than acting q part in IL SLAYER.

We regret to learn that the very high freshet in
the Cape Fear River has done considerable injury
to the works of the Cape Fear & Deep River Navi-
gaticn Company. The temporary dam at Cross
Greek has been washed out. The woodwork of
some dam passed the Clarendon Bridge, tearing
loose boats rafts &c. The Clarendon Bridge, at
Fayetteville, escaped by almost miracle.
The above facts we CLEAN from the Fayetteville Ar
gus and other authorities in Fayetteville We have
heard here, from good authority, that the whole
Cross Greek dam has drifted down bodily, and the
timber part, at least, is lodged above the mouth Of
Black River.
