M, ,RoyGAERD, a French professor
published recentlya sarcastic criticism
upon LOUIS NAPoLEoS's Life of Cesar
He was accordingly indicted for calumny
of the Emperor, his book confscated and
the printers fined, Notwithstanding it
had been previously announced that the
greatest tolerance of criticisms upon the
Emperors booklwould be allowed. 4A
Since the death Of the Duke De Nor,
NY, NAPOLEON may be in need of a sui

would respectfully recommend Mr.. SEw-

believing that either of them could Fen-
der complete satisfaction TO, bis rpyal

thing quite so neat as the case of RoU-

(1 TIE PRESIDENT, APPOINTING A
- DAY OF FASTING, HUMILIATION
AND PRAYER, WITH THANKSGIVING.
The Congress of the Confederate States
have, by joint resolution, invited me to
appoint day Of public fasting, humiliation
and prayer, with thanksgiving to Almighty
God.
1t is our solemn duty at all times, and
more especially in season of public trial
and adversely, to acknowledge our depen-
dence on His mercy, and to bow in humble
submission before His footstool, confessine
our manifold sins, supplicating His gracious
pardon, imploring His Divine help, and de-
voutly rendering thanks for the. many and
great blessings which he las vouchsafed
to us.
Let the hearts of our people turn contrite-
ly and trustfully unto God let us recognize
in His Christening hand the correction Of
Father, and submissively pray that the trials
and sufferings which have so long borne
heavily upon us may be turned away
by His Merciful love; that His sustaining
grace be given to people, and His
divine wisdom impaired to our rulers
that the Lord of Hosts will be with our
armies, and fight for us against our ene-
mics and that he will graciously take our
cause into His own hand and mercifully es-
tablish for us a lasting, just and honorable
peace and independence.
And let Us not forget to render unto His
holy name thanks and praise which are go
justly due Tor His great goodness and for
he many mercies which He has extended TO
us amid the trials and sufferings Of protract-
ed and bloody war.
Now. therefore, /, JEFFERSON DAVIS,
President ofthe Confederate States Of Amer
lea, do issue this my proclamation, appoint
ing FRIDAY, the 10th day Of March next,
as d day Of public fasting, humiliation and
| prayer. with thanksgiving, for Invoking
the favor and guidance of Almighty Cod
| ard do earnestly invite all soldiers and
citizens to observe the same in spirit of
reverence, penitence and prayer.
Given under my hand and the seal of
[sEAL. the Conf.dederate States, at Rich
mond. this twenty-ffth day Of jan
| uary, in the years of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-fve.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

We learn that descrters from the
Yankee lines around Richmond
have very largely increased since
the general orders of our govern
ment, Offering to put deserters
through the lines to 90 home, or
elsewhere, have found their way IN
to the ranks Of the Yankee army.
We know that the most careful
measures have been taken IN the
Yankee lines to keep this informa-
ton from the private soldiers, and
that it has only been obtained by
them by rare accident. 1t would
be very good idea to have the
general orders pla-carded along our
lines as well as printed in the Rich
mond newspapers as there is eve
~ reason to believe that an etfec-
tive advertisement of them would
do more to deplete Grants army,
than all other persuations put to-
gether Any one who has had an
insight into the composition OF tins
army, and knows the large number
of men who are ever on the alert to
jump the bounty, will understand !
the value Of a general circulation OF
the order referred to. And we may
remark here, that the authorities IN
Richmond have hitherto most faith
fully and efeetually performed the
promise sending deserters through
the lines, and putting them Zen
route for their homes; hundreds
at a time having been transported
to convenient points, whence tn y
might make their way to any part
of the North which they chose to
designate. They are detained IN
Richmond only SO long as is neces-
sary to make up convenient lots Tor
transportation, and in the mean
time. are comfortably subslsted
