BY the President

Whereas, it hath pleased Almighty God, the
Sovereign Disposer of events, to project and de-
fend the Confederate States hitherto in their con-
aict with their enemies, and to be unto them a,
shield. ..-.a.
And, whereas, with grateful thanks we reeog-
nize Ills hand, and acknowledge that not unto as,
bat unto Him belongeth the victory and in hum
BILE dependence upon His Almighty strength and
trusting in the justness of our cause, we appeal to
Hin, that He may set at naught the efforts Of our
enemies, and put them to confusion and shame.
Now, therefore, |, Jefferson Davis, President of
the Confederate States, in view of the impending
conflict, do hereby set apart Friday, the 18th day
of November, as day Of fasting, humiliation: and
prayer, and do hereby invite the Reverend Clergy
and the people of these Confederate States, to re-
pair en- 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 bones and affairs
from pollution and secure to the restoration Of
peace and prosperity.
Given under my hand and the seal of the Con-
federate States, at Richmond, this thirty-frst day
of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-one.

DUE1~-A duel took place between tws gentle
men Of the Second District, on Tuesday afternoon,
which resulted in one of them, Mr.. Henry Daret,
receiving a slight wound in the arm. The seconds
interfered at this juncture and put au end to the
combat ...
MORE BREAD sE1zED.-Corporal Parish seized
forty eight loaves of bread yesterday morning at
the Hallway House, which was exposed for sale
there by John Barras baker whose shop is at
the corner of Lapeyrouse and Roman streets.
Short weight, as usual. We hope that the baker,
if found guilty, will pay heavily.
A BABY LYING AROUND LoosE.-Mr. Il. M..Sum-
mers who resides at No. 377 Johnston street, found
little babe of two three weeks old lying partly
hid in the grass at the corner of Kererec and Preur
Streets on Tuesday evening, between and
o'clock The infant is boy and seemed to be in
the enjoyment of robust health and is very pretty
little fellow, indeed. Mr.. Summers should send
him to certain popular member Of the Free Mar
ket He would, no doubt, be glad to find an oc.
cupant for a certain cradle. -..s-. g .s- ..
A DESPERATE Cus!oMeE. Yesterday a man
named John Corlis, who was pretty thoroughly
drunk, knocked over the basket of a flower girl a
the corner of Royal and Canal Streets tore up apd
destroyed all the beautiful bouquets she had fol
sale, and was about to pitch into the girl herse
| when the gentlemen standing by, observing his
brutal behavior, interfcred. This only enraged
| him the more, and drawing a huge Arkansas tooth
| pick, he defed the crowd. Officer Taylor, of the
First District police, seeing his behavior, and fear
| ing that he would get away before policeman Of
the Second District came along, ran across Cana
street and ordered him to surrender. Corlis ther
attacked him but was soon felled to the eartt
and hurried off to the ealaboose. When he arrivet
there and they were searching him, preparatory tt
locking him up, he suddenly caught Mr. Franl
Ames by the hand with his teeth and came pretty
near taking piece out. He was finally quele'
and locked up, and no doubt this morning will b.
sorry enough for his drunken spree. Lightning
whisky plays strange pranks with mems brains.

NORFOLK, Nov. 6.--The Day Book publishes
report of the Bleaching, in the late storm, OF two
Federal steamers on Currituck beach, one of which
is believed to be the Great Republic. Gen. Scott
it is reported, is going to Europe. -'
From Richmond.
RICHNoND, Nov. e.-The Dispatch has intelll-
gence from Cotton Hill that Gen. Floyd commenced d
cannonade Immediately on Friday last on the
enemy and stopped their transportation, killed
number Of horses, disabled the wagons and killed
twenty mine Lncolnites. Gen. Floyd controls the
road over which the enemy transport their sup
plies. There is rumor, but it is not generally
credited, that the Federals crossed the Kanawha
river at Lesup creek to cat off Col. Jenkins cav
airy, that Jenkins informed Gen. Floyd if he would
send him infantry he would cut the enemy's forces
off, which was done, and Col. jenkins killed and
| captured all Of them numbering GOO.

Death of Col. Baker.
THE TURNING POINT IN THE RATTLE.

At this jancture Col. Baker, who had dsmounte1
from his horse, and was advancing at the head of
his command, coolly, but resolutely, encouraging
his men, received ball through his head, killing
him Instantly. The Generals blood bespattered
Capt. Crowningshield, who stood beside him at the
moment. He never spoke. His body was then
taken to the rear by his men, who freely wept at
their loss. He was placed in scow and trans
ported to the island, and thence to the Maryland
shore. His remains were sent to Edwards Ferry,
and thence to Poolsville. His horse, which had
been left standing, was afterwards shot, small
canvas satchel, containing his papers, saw in the
hands OF a young man to whom they were delivered
shortly before he fell.
This was the turning point of the battle. The
rebels were five of the Union force, and the
latter were finally ordered to leave the field. The
retreat was made after the Bull Run pattern, with
slight improvements, the rolling, sliding and
almost turnng suulmersaults down hill to escape
the calling fire which now assalled them from all
points. The rebels were constantly reinforced,
screaming like furies at each onset. Before re-
treating they threw the six-pounder down the hill
into the river. The howtzers were left on the field
and fell into the enemy's hands.
The 18th and 2Gth Massachusetts, regiments suf-
fered very severely, losing a large part of their
numbers in killed and wounded. ~ a3G
The Tammany regiment covered itself with
glory. Capt. 0'Meara often rallied his command,
throwing defiance into the very teeth of the enc
my, and showing the rebels that he could scream
equal to the worst of them. Captain 0iMeara took
charge of the landing, and refused to let any but
wounded men enter the boat, ordered the sound
troops to go back and pepper the rebels. His con
duct was very gallant throughout, evincing true
and lofty courage. Lieut.. Messer took command
of the crew, aud continued to ferry over the
wounded, who poured down the hill. Several
times the rebels fred upon him, he was crossing
with the wounded men. The fourth boat was cap
sized by the men rushing into it in too great num-
bers, and the whole parry, about fifty in number,
well and wounded, were precipitated into the
stream Ten of the party, at least, were drowned.

that there is distinction between haste
