PROCLAMATION
BY THE PRESIDENT.

To the People Of the Confederate States Of
America.
An enemy waging war in a manner violative of
the usages of civilized nations has invaded our coun
try With presumptuous reliance on superior num-
bers, he has declared his purpose to reduce US to
submission We struggle to preserve our birth
right of constitutional freedom. Our trust is in
the Justice Of our cause and the protection of our
land and sorrow sits at the hearth-stones of our
countrymen; but people conscious Of rectitude
and faithfully relying on our Father in Heaven may
be cast down, bu: cannot be dismayed. They may
mourn the loss Of the martyrs whose lives have
been sacrificed in their defence but they receive this
dispensation Of Divine Providence with humble
submission and reverent faith. And now that our
hosts are again going forth to battle loving hearts
at home are filled with anxious solictude for their
safety, it is meet that the whole people should
turn imploringly to their Almighty Father and
beseech His all powerful protection.
To this end therefore, /, JEFFERSON DAVIS,
President of the Confederate States of America do
issue this my proclamation inviting all the people to
unite at their several places Of worship, on FRI
dav. the 18th day of the present month Of May, in
humble supplication to Almighty uod that He will
youchsafe His blessing our beloved country that
He will strengthen and protect our armies that
He will watch over and preserve our people from
the evil Vaccinations Of our enemies and that He
will in this, our good time restore to US the blessing
of peace and security under His sheltering care
Given under my hand and the seal of the Con-
fed.rate States at Richmond, on the Sd day of
May, A. D., 1862. ~
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

NY dear Raleigh Register and State Journal:--.
It's time to commence your labors for the public
welfare, which fear has been too long neglected.
In the Of the God of peace and for the national
interest put your heads together to concoct some
thing for the public good US less talk about
Holden-Holden. When certain mobiles talked Of
Luther as an ignorant obscure Monk, '.then, said
the Queen, "you gentlemen have nothing to- do,
but to write him down" You gentlemen are not
going to fight, and you have nothing to do but to
write Holden down. Let the people say if Holden's
paper shall be suppressed. They have the power,
and they can suppress-in their own way and time
they will suppress. They once suppressed the Pc
tersburg Inteligencer, and vile paper called the
object to Holden's humble BIRTH. "You sneer at
his lowly origin" Impotent objection-ignom
sneer. "Where but in the spirit of man can his
nobility be lodged" and where his dishonor but in
his own unworthy deeds? -Doyou think your own
naughty lineage can make Holden noble? Then
away with your notions that humble birth can make
man base.
1 am not so much astonished at the Journal as at
the Register. Holden caned the Journal man. and
exposed him. for exercising the privilege Of North
Carolinian and Republican, when he wasa British.

The Indian Agents, through the organ which
they have subsidized to represent them and
other attaehe. Of Cyrus Aldrich, have chosen to
raise the question Of official responsibility in
connection with the outbreak Of the Sioux
They have dared to raise the question. Now
let them answer it..
The Sioux Indians are not within the juris-
diction Of the State Of Minnesota, nor subjec,
TO its laws The State authorities are exclu
dcd from any control over them or any re-
sponslbiity for their conduct.
They are the wards OF the United States

and control over them, and the entire respon-
sibl!;t: for their good conduct and it has ek-
pressly undertaken 70 prevent and punith all
aggressioRs on their part upon the oiLixens Of
the United States.
And for this purpose the Government h.s ap-
pointed Agents to dwell among them to exc
! cute faithfully, on its part, the obligations il
has assumed by tresty towards the tribe, and
to enforce the observance on their part Of the
reciprocal duties growing out OF their natural
| and treaty relations. ss wards aud subjects OF
the United States.
TO assist them in maintaining order among
the Indians, in restraining, preventing OF
promptly punishing them for expressions on
the persons or property Of citizens Of the Uni
ted States the Government has built forts in
their neighborhood. and such military force il
placed ere by the United States Govern,nen,

hilities and duties which the Government had
assumed towards the Sioux-paternal care OF
their interests, and police jurisdiction, were
thus devolved upon the Agen: and Superin
authority, were placed At their disposal which
they had required,-and the State authorize.
! could neither interfere to censure nor to regu-

How have these United State officials chare
