Proclamation of President Davis.

RIcHEoND, August 3.-The President has
issued an address to the citizens of the Con-
federates States, reminding them that there Is
no alternative but victory, subjugation, slavery
and utter ruin; and all that is necessary to in
sure victory is that those who are called to the
field by every motive that can move human
heart, should promptly repair to the post of
duty and stand by the comrades now in front
of the foe; and thus so strengthen the army Of
the Confederacy as to insure success After
referring to the various causes of absence from
the army, the President appeals to his country
men to hasten to their camps in obedience to
the dictates Of honor and duty. He declares
ageneral pardon and amnesty to all officers
and men absent without leave, who shall with
the least possible delay return to duty; but no
excuse will be received for delay beyond twenty
days after the first publication of this procla-
nation in the State in which absentees may be-
The publication of the amnesty extends to all
accused or convicted of absence without leave
or desertion, except those twice convicted.
The proclamation closes with an earnest appeal
to the women of the Confcderacy to try and
use their all powerful influence in aid of this
cause.

Proclamation by the President of
the Confederate States.

Again do call upon the people of the Con-
federacy-a people who believe that the Lord
reigneth, and that his overruling Providence
ordereth all things-to unite in prayer and
humble submission under his chastening hand,
and to beseech his favor on orr suffering
country.
1t is meet that when trials and reverses be-
fall us we should seek to take home to our
hearts and consciences the lessons which they
teach, and profit by the determination for
which they prepare us. Had not our successes
on land and sea made us sclfconfdent and for
getful of our reliance on him9 Had not the
love of lucre eaten like gangrene into the very
heart of the land, converting too many among
us into worshppers of gain and rendering them
unmindful of their duty to their country, to
their fellowmcn and to their Coda Who then
will presume to complain that we have been
chastencd or to despair of our Just cause and
the protection Of our Heavenly Father? Let us
rather receive in humble thankfulness the
lesson which he has taught in our recent re-
verses, devout.y acknowledging that to him,
and not to our own feeble arms arc due the
honor and the glory Of victory: that from Him,
in His paternal providence, come the anguish
and suffering of defeat, and that, whether in
victory or defeat our humble supplications are
due at His footStool.
Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President
of these Confederate states, do issue this my
proclamation, setting apart Friday, the 21st
day of August ensuing, as day of fasting, hu-
initiation and prayer; and l do hereby invite
the people of the Confederate States to repair,
on that day, to their respective places of public
worship, and to unite in supplication for the
favor and protection of that God who has hith-
erto conducted us safely through all the dan
ger that environed us.
In faith whereof, l have hereunto set my
hard and the seal ofthc Confederate States, at
Richmond this 25th day of July, in the year
of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and
siXtv-threc. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The HOSTAGE OFFIcERs-In response to
the announcement that Gen. VIM. III. F. Lee
and Capt. Wynder have been placed in con-
fincment at Old Point as hostages for the two
Yankee officers, Flynn and Sawyer, condemned
to be shot by the Confederate authorities, our
commissioner has informed the Federal Gov
ernment that the Confederate Government will
not be intimidated by any such threats, and
that the execution of said officers will take
place as soon as the President may see fit.
1t is hoped that the Executive will see fit to
give the order for execution immediately; and
as we have now over five hundred Federal Off
GERS in our hands, besides some five or six
thousand privates. it is in the power Of the
Government to carry retaliation to a very Bit
ter extreme. The people call for the death of
these two Yankees, and it is useless to delay
their death any longer.-Riehmond Enquirer.

BETTER PROSPECT IN THE mis-.
NINSlPPl VALLEY.

The prospects for the opening OF the
Mississippi River this season, are bright
ening. Ere this, in all human probabli'
ity. the work would have been accom-
pli.hed had it not been for the foolish
idea of the engineers or somebody else
that the fate Of Nicksburg was TO be
determined by digging bitches and
carving ont with the spade new chan
nels for the Father Of Waters to Ito"
through. II took several months, and
an expense Of many mill OF dollars,
and the precious lives of twenty or ,hir-
ty thousand men to explode that hum.
bug, and. now the army Is going 70
work in true military style to accom-
pish the end so desirable to the people
Of the Norsh-west.
Gen. Grant is now proving himself q
good General, and the prayer q the PEG
pls is that he may continue to reap VIC
tories until be las wrested the mighty
Mississippi from the hands Of the eue,
mics Of our Union, and placed it irrevo-
csbly under the influence OF the Stars
and Stripes. The entire Northwest
have deep and overpowerlng Interest
in his success, aside from universal in
terest in the restoration Of the Union.
The prosperity OF the entire Northwest
is based upon the uninterrupted payiga-
ton Of that stream. Ii is their natural
line 81 communication with the world,
and that they must and will have if II
be within the range Of possibility and
they think il is.
The operations Of Gen. Grant viii be
looked after with great anxiety and
earnestness for the next few weeks The
country may be disappointed, even as II
has been about the capture OF Rich
mond, but there are yet strong grounds
TO believe that the DAYS OF rebel rule in
Nlcksburg and Port Hudson are nearly
st close. This being accomplished
the work Of holding and navigating the
Mississippi depends entirely upon the
ability Of our army TO exterminate the
guerrilas which for some time to come
will iufest its banks and greatly annoy
sieamboa,men.
This work achieved, and the rebellion
is divided. Texas, Arkansas, and the
Territory west Of the river, will lose
their communication with tho main
body Of rebels, aud the supplies received
from the Western border States will be
irretrevably cut of.

A Romantic Incident

Thurlow Weed relates In the Albany
Journal the following romantic incident,
IN connection with friend OF has, recent
I've deceased. The incident has a local IN
terest,
In hls history there il q romance SO
well known TO his trends that we can
see no objection TO lis constituting part
81 his obituary. More than forty years
arc. in the village OF Manlius, two mer-
chart clerks Charles Williams aud Itch
ard i. Hopkins-were tuitors ior the hand
OF Mss Phelps, They were intimate
friends, and each so excellent in charac
ter, and so attractive IN person ana man
ners, that young lady might well lie
embarrassed in her choice, exclaimlng-
How happy could be with ther,
We're t'othcr dear eharner away.
But dicision was finally made in
Richards favor, This caused no ar,
however, in the trio. Hopkins went with
his Young wife TO Chautauqne county,
and Williams to New ork, where after
several years Of clerkship, he went INTO
business and was successful. Many Years
after ward ilopk ms failed, and became,
first clerk. and the partner Of Vii
lams. in NV York Some fifteen years
ago. Mr.. Williams married the daughter
of Mr.. Hopkins, his early rival, and
daughter, also his first attachment. Like
the mother, she was accomplished and
estimabie. The parties were always hap
~ because they we're truly good. Mr..
Hopkins died IN Cincinnati. Mr.. VII
