JEFFERSON DAVIS.

GEN. Price IN MEMPHs.-Gen Sterling Price
arrived in Memphis on the 10th instant, and was fol-
lowed by a clamorous throng to the Gayoso Hotel,
where, in response to the continuous cheering OF
the multitude. he addressed them in few works.
He said he felt deeply the compliment paid him
by demonstration, but would prefer demonstrating
his gratitude to his fellowcountTymen on the battle
field where he expected soon to be heard from
fayorably than from the stump. The time for speech
making had passed. and the time for action had
arrived He had commenced this service without
men, money or munitions of war now he could
boast of gallant band of true soldiers not incon-
siderable in number, and unsurpassed in valor
and zeal, who would stand by him and he by them,
to the end-for veal or for woe, come when that
hour may. He had returned the arms and supplies
he had borrowed to begin with, and still retained
abundant supplies for the Various sons of the West
won by them in the conflicts Of the past for future
use. He expected soon to be heard from in the
laundering tones of cannon, the roar of musketry
and the clashing of bayonets.
Gen. Price looks to be about sixty years of age
remarkably large in person, with marked dignity
of demeanor and manly bearing

America.
An enemy wagEg war in manner viOlatiye 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
God. Recent disaster has spread gloom over the
land and sorrow sits at the hearth-stones of our
countrymen; but people conscious of rectitude
and faithfully relying on Father III Heaven may
be cast down, bu; cannot be dsmaycd 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 again going forth to battle andoving hearts
at home filed with anxious SOlicitude for their
safety it is meet that the whole people should
turn mploringly 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
day, the 9th day Of the present month of May in
humble supplcation to Almighty rod that He will
vouchsafe His blessing on 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 good time restore to the blessing
of peace and security under His shetering care
Given under my hand and the seal Of the Con-
fedcrate States at Richmond on the Sd day Of
May, A. d., 1862.
