fasting, TO be observed by the people OF the
United States with religious solemnities, and
the offering Of fervent applications to Almighty
God lor the safety and welfare Of these States, |
His blessings on their arms, and speedy res
toration of peace:'
And whereas It Is tit aud becoming in oil peo-
pie, at all times, 10 acknowledge and revere the
Supreme Government Of God to bow In hum
BILE submission TO His chastisemens 10 confess
and deplore their Sins aud trausgressions, In
the full conviction that the fear of the Lord Is
the beginning Of wisdom, and TO pray, with all
tervency and contrtion, for thepardon of their
past offences, and for blessing upon their
present and prospective action:
And whereas, when our own beloved country,
once, by the blessing Of God, united, prosper
ous, and happy, isnow afflicted with faction and
civil war; II is peculiarly tit for us to recognize
the hand OF God in this terrible visitation, and
in sorrowiul remembrance Of our own faults
aud crimes as a nation, and as individuals, 10
humble ourselves before Him, and TO pray for
His mercy-to pray that we may be spared fur
ther punishment, though most justly deserved |;
that our arms may be blessed, and made effect
usl for the re establishment of law, order, and
peace throughout the wide extent OF our coun-
try; and that the inestimable boon OF civil and
religious liberty. earned under His guidance
and blessing, by the labors and suferings Of
our fathers, may be restored in all its original
excellence
Therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of
the United States, do appoint the last Thursday
10 September next as a day Of humiliation,
prayer, and tasting, for all the people OF the
nation. Aud | do earnestly recommend to all
the people, and especially to all ministers and
teachers OF religion, of all denominations, and
to all heads OF families, to observe and keep
that day, according to their several creeds and
modes Of worship In all humility, and with all
religious tolemnity, 10 the end that the united
prayer Of the nation may ascend to The Throne
of Grace, and bring down plentiful blessings
upon our country.

THESLAVESTATES,

The Philadelphia North american dcduc
es some interesting facts from tho late
census! The enumeration shows that in
the entire South the free population ha,
gained largely upon the scrvilc element, for
while the former has gained 2,O21, 7O2, tho
latter gains but 798,94l. In 1850 the slaves
were just half as numerous as the free pop
uiation. Now they have fallen behind 1884,
900. The gain of free population is chiefly
in the border States. In Missouri tho FREQ
people have nearly doubled in ten years and
the slaves, who in 1850 were as one to scv-
en- of the whites, are as one to nine. Ken
lucky in ten years gained lis, G53 free pco-
pie, and only 1850 slaves. SlaYory in
Delaware ard Maryland shows decided
decrease in numbers. In Kentucky and
Missouri it is evidently being overwhelmed
by the large and steady increase Of the free
population. In Virginia. large as the slave
population is, its hold is growing weaker
In 1850 the excess Of free people over slaves
was &c, CO5: it is now Col ,547, the increase
of the free element during the decade having
been lis, 24o, ard the slaves only 23,29s.
1t is apparent that in Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, kentucky and Missouri, the pccu-
liar institution is cbbng away before tho
mighty power of free emigration. In South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
'sippi and Louisiana the institution maintains
its strength and prcponderancc. In North
Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas it is strong
and progressive, but the free element is
largely in the ascendant. Slavery is clearly
moving toward the tropics.

II is thought by sircwd readers that the

to Mr.. Lncoln's behavior at, and flight from,

TO Washington incoy isa fact, but it is pos
sb:c he had reasons that required his i'm
mediate presence, and he wished to avoid
trumocry Of receptions On the route. We
hope this is the case; the dispatch. referred
to Is little shaky in detail. That any one
had designs on his life is not at all probable
but 1t is possible some friend might have
thought SO and advised him to the course he
pursued to escape assassination. That dis

We publish, this morning, so much o
President lincoln's inaugural address, as
came over tie wires Yesterday. How much
yet remains, for the St. rav! reader, We
are unable to state. 1t is difficult to cx-
press an opinion on the address too, for what
is yet to come, may qualify and affect the
meaning Of what has preceded it. But it is
plain, that the President so far as he has
got, Or rather SO far is we hare got him,
holds briefly as follows:
That The Republican party, and the new
Administration will not interfere with, slay-
cry in the States where it exists; but that
''protcction will be cheerruIly given to all
the States for whatever Cause" cyi'loatly
referring here to John Brown raids;
That the Fugitive Slave law, althourl
Objectionable in some of its features. is Q
constitutional enactment, and must be
enforced; but This is coupled with the de.
tluation that the pcldlcrs Of abolition
documents and speeches ct the South, mus,
be protected;
That there is no such thing rs peaceful
Secession; but that Secession is Revolution

.s!e- i1eHtEEtD OF ElElN DAYS.
The New York 1toyld gives Il condensed
statement OF the events Of the past fifty
days IL connection with the secession move
ment, which We wills Still further conlensc as
follows: On the 9th of November the pco-
pIc Of the United States elected their four
tccn;h Observation-Disclosures Lincoln. Of
Illinois. On the Goth Of December South
Caro'na-with her white population OF
2OS, lSG, passed an ordinance Of secession.
This was followed by the seizure OF the
ircycnuc cutter Aiken, and of the United
States arsenal. On the 18th Of December
Major Anderson moved from fort Moultrie
to Fort Sumter, and took the command Of
Charleston harbor. On the 25th of Janua-
~, Forts Pulaski and Jackson, and the
United States arsenal at Savannah, with
Fort Mason and the asenal at Fayetteville.
North Carolina, were SEIZED. On the Sd,
Fort Morgan. near Mobile, and the Mt
Vernon arsenal, were taken. On the 9Th,
the arsenal at Apalacicayo, and On the Stb,
Forts johnson and Caswell, in North Car
DINA, were also seized. The same day the
Florida convention adopted secession rcso-
lutions. On the 9th, Mississippi followed
suit while at Charleston, the New York
steamer Marion was seized and the Star OF
the West fired into. On the 10th, Fort
NlcRac, at Pensacola, and on the 18th,
Forts Pike, at St. Philip and Jackson.
with the arsenal at Baton Rouge, were
seized. The same day Alabama sccedc !.
On tho lth Fort BarIancas and the Pc :.
sacola navy yard were taken. On the 10Th,
Georgia Seeded. On Sunday, january 20,
Ship Island fort was taken by Captain
! Howard. On the 9th, Governor Brown,
OF Georgia, seized the arsenal at Augusta
Louisiana seeded On the 26th, and Texas
on the lst Of February, about which time
the revenue cutter Nlcilclland fell into the
hands Of the seccssionists. February 2,
the arsenal at Little Rock, Arkansas, was
taken. February Q, the Montgomery con
ycntion proclaimed the confederate States
Of American and elected Jefferson Davis
President of its provisional government.
The same day, five New York vessels were
se!zed in the port OF Savannah, 6y order of
Governor Brown: and subseq ,,entl yrccasct}.
On the 18TH Jefferson Davis was inaucuratcd
President Of the Southern Republic and
delivered his message.
What the next fifty days may bring Gctl,
no man can forete!. 1t is not too late to
adopt measures which will keep the Border
States in the Union; but we see no proba-
blity that they will be carried. Our only
hope is that they will postpone action until
the new Administration comes into power
and announces its policy. AS for the seccd-
ed States, they must be left, for the present,
to make the experiment Ola government.
