ING, HUMILIATION AND PRAYER, WITH
THANKSGIVING.-The Congress of the Confcde-
rate States have. by joint resolution, invited mt
TO appoint day of public fasting, humiliation and
prayer, with thanksgiving to Almighty God.
1t is solemn duty, ct all times, and more es-

to acknowledge our dependence on His mercy, and
to bow in humble submission before His footstool
contessing manifold sins, duplicating Ills graz
cious pardon, imploring His Divine help, and de-
vou:ly rendering thanks for the many and great
blessings which He has vouchsafcd to us.
Let the hearts Of our people turn contritely and
trustfully unto God; let us recognize in His cha
stening hand the correction of Father, and sub
nissively pray that the trials and suerings which
have so long borne heavily upon may be turned
away by His merciful love; that His sustaining
grace be given to people, and His divine wisdom
impaired to rulers that the Lord of Hosts will
be with our armies, and fight for us against our
enemies; and that He will gra iously take our cause
into His own hand and mescitully establish for US
lasting just and honorable peace and independence
And let us not forget to render unto His holy
name the thanks and praise which are SO Justly due
for His great goodness, and for the many mcrcies
which He has extended to us amid the trials and
sufcrings of protracted and bloody war.
Now, therefore, I, JEFFERSON DAVIS, Pres-
dent Of the Confederate States of America do issue
this my proclamation, appointing FRIDAY, the
10th day of March next, day OF public fasting,
humiliation and prayer, with thanksgiving,) for
"invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty
