JEFF. DAVIS has appointed Friday, the
Sth of April, as day OF humiliation, fast
ing and prayer. In his proclamation he
says:
Recent events awaken fresh gratitude to the
Supreme Ruler of nations. Our enemy has
suffered repeated defeats, and nefarious
scheme to burn and plumber our capital and de-
stroy our civil government by putting to death
the chosen servants of the people, has been
baffied. Our armies have been strengthened.
our finances promise rapid progress to salts.
factory condition, and our whole country is an
mated with hopeful spirit and a fixed deter
mination to achieve its independence.

The Reported Interview Between
Gems, Lee and Mcclellan.
,.o.;., n;snatcb to the N. Y. Tribune

Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-It is stated
that the detectives who have had Waldrop
in charge have got from him confession
in writing, that he was drunk when he
told the story of the interview between
Mcclellan and Lee, and that he puts on
John BarleycOrn the entire blame of from
bling the War Department and War Com
mittee to investigate the charge.

Coal WORKERS. We learn that Mr..
EAMEs and party of worknen will leave
to-day for the coal fields on the Cotton
wood. Mr.. EAMEs thinks he II be able
to have barge load of coal at the levee
early IN the season, when all the doubters
will be satisfied by ocular evidence of its
existence IN Minnesota.

is our Court House; its turret resen-
bling the section of large but frail
wooden tube disclosing at the top the
hemisphere of huge tin egg, while in
the rear of the building, perhaps on the
suggestive idea of steam safety valves, the
the repository of the public records in the
shape OF vast locomotive boiler has been
hitched on, SO that the whole thing seems
only to want set of driving wheels to
complete its character as the temple of
locomoti We and ambulatory justice.
Now all these cupolas are no ornaments
to any building and where they are not
indispensably necessary for a belfry or
some ether useful purpose they ought to
be omitted. They generally injure the
roof which they disfigure, and invariably
have leakage at their base and what is
more their cost otherwise expended would
actually effect the ornamentation desired.
We hope then that whoever has control
of the planning and construction of the
new tower on the City Hall for tie public
clock, will act upon two principles first,
to see that the structure answers its car
dinal purposes as clock tower, and next
that it disfgures the main building as lit
tie a: possible. Of all things let white
paint, tin eggs and pepper boxes alone.
The Call for Two Hundred Thou
sand More.
The President has called for two hum
dred thousand men, in addition to the call
of February 1st for five hundred thousand.
The aggregate Of all calls, including the
last, foots up the enormous number of tmo
million one hundred and seuenty.fve
thousand men! Not more than two-thirds
of these, however, have ever been put into
the field. Another call will not be received
with pleasure by anybody who is liable to
military service, but it will be acquiesced
in and accepted by a vast majority Of the
people as necessity to our national ex-
istence, and as an indication of the pur-
pose of the Government to make an end of
the rebellion during the ensuing season.
Almost every State, as well as our own,
is far behind on former calls, and it is
scarcely possible that the present can be
filled by volunteers. A draft will proba-
bly, be ordered between now and the first
of April, to clear up deficiencies under
other calls and to answer the present. In
case this is done the proposed loan ofmen,
suggested by our Provost Marshal, from
towns which have raised more than their
quotas, to those which are deficient, will
not be made.
We hope there will be no more post
ponements of the draft. There have been
too many already. A threatened draft has
ceased to excite any other feeling than that
of derision in many towns in the State, and
it is time some of them were brought up
with sharp turn, and made to contribute
either men or money to the national cause.

Generals Mcclellan and Lee,

AS we never gave circulation to the story
that Generals Mcclellan and Lee had held an
Interview after the battle of Antetam we are
not now called upon particularly to notice the
refutauOn OF it: but we cannot refrain from
remarking upon the facility with which certain
edltors OF newspapers admit such ridiculous
ana improbable tales to their columns poor
drunken creature at Washington tells some
Dody something about persons of distinction,
ana instantly, no matter how absurd it NAV be
in itself, it is transmitted by telegraph 10 this
city. and published the next morning to hun
dreds OF thousand of readers. There ought to
lie In every journal one man at least with dis
mOrs, which are too often calumnious
The above is just what we had reason to
expect from a journal of the high character
OF the New York Erening Post, edite:! by
W. @. BRYANT, the first OF American poets,
in regard to the story of the drunken va
gabond, that Gen. MCCLELLAN had an in
terview with Ger. LEE after the battle of
Antietam. The meaner class OF American
journals, such as the Tribune. continue to
retail such stuffto their readers, even after
all the respectable journals of their own
shade of politics have pronounced it an
unconditional f" falseiood.
MLITARY.-We learn that Major BRAoK-
EFT, OF BRACKETS Battalion Of Cavalry,
has been directed to report at the district
headquarters OF this department for orders.
1t is supposed that this settles the question
that this battalion is to remain in the State
About $50 men for our regiments in Mis-
souri, eft yesterday in wagons for La
Crosse or the head of navigation.

CIRCULAR.
In accordance with instructions from Brig adler
General d. II. Rucker, Chief QuArtermaster, De-
pot Of Warrington, I have placed sohooners
At Upper and Lower Cedar Points, in the positions
occupied by the light-boAts previous to their de-
struction by the rebels.
From sunset until sunrise light will he swung
nom each Of the schooners. The reason given by
captains Of vessels, chartered and owned by the
United States QuArtermSster Department, for
Anohoring In the Potomac river at night, was that
they feared that they would run their vessels
aground II they attempted to run psst the shoals
alter dark. The lamps placed on the schooner,
will riye light sufficiently strong to enable all
pilots to pas up and down the river with safety,
provided they govern themselves by the charts
provided by the United States Coast Survey.
From and after this date vessel propelled By
steam will be allowed to anchor, excepting In such
weather as by running the loss OF the vessel or
cargo might be endangered.
Ali masters OF vessels are directed to report any
neglect the part OF the parties on board OF the
light sehooners, in not keeping their lights burn
ing at all hours OF the night.
copy of this circular will be kept posted In the
plot-hOuse of every vessel owned and chartered by
the Government, plying on the Potomac river.
