EDs. LEADER. The great Metropolis is
buoyant everything beioksns life, ard
marked activity prevails In ell branches
Of business. Merchants are here still in
great numbers, many Of whom are upon
their second trip "attsr goods" this spring.
The western trade especially is extensive
this season, and am told mEoh more 50
than Al any tine heretofore. The enter
prise Of Western traders wins great credit
among the business msR Of tie city, and
particular mention in this relation is made
Of the Buekeye State. It is common to
hear the remark that " the trade Of Ohio is
Of more imcortanos than that Of any other
Northern STATE" judging from the nun
bsrs here tls time from that State no one
Wolld be disposed to dispute the position.
All regard tie business omens for the
coming year as particularly hattering.
Parson BfoEhlOW is Hthe lion" Of the
city iuHt now. No enc would reCeive per-
hsps 8 more hearty welcome BY ell classes
ct this particular junoture than Parsen
BrOWhloW. he is apparently highly ap-
prsciatsd By the entire POpulaOo. All re
gard him a 9 q tried and true" man. And
that he is every inch 8 man and e patri-
OF no one Who listened to his thrilling
speech at the Aosdsmy Of Music Thursday
evening last, can for moment entertain q
doubt. Every word that fell from bis lips
carried conviction to the hearts Of his audi
tors ths. he vas not only utteFing the sen.
6nosnts Of honesty and loyalty, but OF

Person Br0WnloW talks for the purpose
Sf telling facts, and speaks Of what he
knows personally, snd from most severe
sxpsrisnoe in the midst Of the hottest Of
the rebeni0n. BE talks also in plain, nm
mistaks6bla Wor5s, and although his Pari-
DDS may not be ss round end finely en-
bsIllshed as some, they are remarkably de;
fined. and his shafts strike the mark with

BY THE RESIDEN T.

To the People of the Confederate States:
| The termination of the Provisional Govern.
ment offers fitting occasion again to present our
selves in humiliation, prayer and -thanksgiy in g
before that God who has safely conducted US
through our first year of national existence. We
have been able to lay anew the foundations of
free government, and to repel the efforts of our
enemies to destroy US, Law has everywhere
reigned supreme,a and throughout our wide spread
limits personal liberty and private right have
been duly honored. A tone of earnest piety has
pervaded our people, and the victories which we
have obtained over our enemies have been Justly
| ascribed to Him who ruleth the Universe.
We had hoped that the year would have closed
upon scene of continued prosperity but it has
pleased the Supreme Disposer Of Events to or
der it otherwise. We are not permitted to fur
nish an exception to the rule of Divine Govern
ment, which has prescribed aff1ction as the dis
cipline of nations as we'll Of individuals. Our
faith and perseverance must be tested, and the
Christening which seemeth grievous, will, if right
ly received, bring forth its appropriate fruits.
It is meet and right therefore, that we should
repair to the only Giver Of all victory, and hum
bling ourselves before Him, should pray that He
may strengthen our confidence in His mighty
power and righteous judgment. Then may we
surely trust in Him that He will perform His
promise and encompass US with shield.
In this trust, and to this end, I, JEFFERSON
DAVIS, President of the Confederate States. do
hereby set apart Friday the 28th of February
instant, as day of Fasting, Humiliation and
Prayer; and do hereby invite the Reverend
Clergy and people Of the Confederate States to
repair to their respective places of public wor-
ship to humble themselves before Almighty God.
and pray for his protection and favor TO our be-
loved country, and that we may be saved from
our enemies, and from the hand Of all that hate
us. =
