Fasting AND PRAYER.-ln view of the un-
happy difficulties envrouing the country,
Joseph Sadoc, Archbishop of San Francisco,
addressed Letter to the Clergy and Laity of
the Diocese of San Francisco, which con
cludes as follows:
1t is not our province to allude to the eau
ses which may have brought our country,
perhaps, to the very eve of so many evils;
but our only desire is to request you all to
raise up your most fervent prayers to the
God of all Nations, that he may vouchsafe
to grant us peace, harmony and brother
ly love. God alone can avert the evils
that our sins may have provoked. Let
Us therefore, in our distress, have recourse to
his infinite mercy, praying that through the
utercession of the immaculate Virgin, and
infinite merits Of Christ's most precious
blood, He may grant us the blessings Of Il
true and lasting peace. For this object, all
the Faithful Of the Diocese are directed to
recite the Litanies of the Saints, and to offer
fast and the clergy, beside the above, will
add to the Mass the Collect "pro pace" du-
ring one month, and during the same time
will recite the Rosary before High Mass or
after Nespers
Nov, the Lord of Peace, Himself, give
you everlasting peace in every place" 2

flag, and underneath was written, The re-

became immense, and the entire street was
blocked up bya solid mass of human beings,

JEFFERsoN's THEORY OF THE PREsIDENTs
DU1Y IN CASE OF SECEssIoN.-It has often been
said that the decisions of Congress are i'm
portant, be 'ause the Confederation provides
no compulsory power But when two or
more nations enter into compact it is not
usual for them to say what shall be done TO
the party who iniringes it. Decency forbids
this, and it is as unnecessary as indecent be-
cause the right of compulson naturally re-
suits to the party injured by the breach
When any one State Of the American Union
refuses obedience to the confederation by
Which they have bound themselves, the rest
have right to compel them to obedience
Congress would probably exercise long pa
thence before they would recur to force, but
if the case ultimately requiredit, they would
use that recurrence. Should this case evel
arise, they will probably coerce by a nava
force, as being more easy, less dangerous tc
liberty and less likely to produce much blood
shed.

time, and after she had passed and gotten into q
fog bank, shot was fred astern Of the boat,
which was making good time down the river.
At this juncture. the @. w. Graham, bound
from Cairo for this port, came up, and was COM
ing into Cape Girardeau in the fog amidst the Ere
oftwo batteries, blazing away In furious manner.
Ten or fifteen shots were fred In all, and the
shot fell all around the Graham, of them pass
ing lengthwise Of the boat, between the chin
neys and directly over the pilot house FOrtu.
nately, the boat was not bit, and one was hurt,
but all were considerably scared.
A large number Of soldiers were put aboard the
