A PROCLAMATION
By the President to the penjtle of the Con
federate States of America: The termination of
the Provisional Government offers a fitting occa
sion again to present ourselves iu humiliation,
prayer and thanksgiving before that God who has
tafely conducted m through the first year of our
National existence. We have been enabled to lay
a new foundation of free Government, and to re
pel the efforts of our enemies to destroy us. Law
has every where reigned supreme, and throughout
.tiur wide spread limits persona! liberty and private
rights have been duly honored.
A tone of earnest n ty has pervaded our eople,
and the victories which we have obtained over our
enemies have Jet n juitly ascribed toilim who
luleth the universe.
We had hoped that the year would have closed
upon a scene of continued prosperity, but it has
pleased the supreme disposer of events to order it
otherwise.
We are not permitted to furnish an exception t
to the rule of Divine Government, which has pre- !
.cribed affliction as the discipline of nations, a ! Rations from the several states of the Confederacy: ! nf L.lVr V ,i our.PPTe
well as individuals. I . , , , , ut ,?f .rcely less nnportai.ce in the estimation
Our faith and perseverance must be tested, and i
the chastening which seemeth grievous will, if:
rightly received, bring forth its appropriate fruit, j
It is meet and right, therefore, that we tdiouid j
repair to the only givT of all victory, and humble J
ourselves before Him, aud pray that He may ;
ftrengthen our confidence in His mighty power, I
and righteous judgment. Then may we surely !
trust in Him that He will perform His promises -and
encompass us as with a shield. Iu this trust, !

After assuming the Chair, the new Speaker
delivered the following patriotic address, which i
i;.imA in ith1nirl:1 attention ' nd M
received, at its tonclttsion, with warm applause:
Gentlemen of tie Bouse of Representatives-
" ; I return to Jtou my sincere thanks for the honor
yon have done me, in selecting me fo preside over
your deliberationa.during this the first Congress
under our permanent Constitution. And I desire
to say that it will be 'my onegreat '"ainj,"lndis
charging the duties of this cSco, so to conduct
myself aH to show to you and to the world , that
your confidence has not been altogether mis
applied. The gaze of the world is fixed upon us. Na
tion lopkou, -curious tsee how this new system
of government will move off, aud what manner of
men have been chosen to guide its earliest move
tnents. It is indeed a" new system; for, though coincid
ing in many particulars with that under which we
lived so long, it jet differs from it in many essen
tial particulars. ' .
When the constitution of 1787 was put in
operation, the war of the Revolution, had been
successfully closed. ' Peace prevailed throughout
our whole land, and hallowed all its borders. The
industrial operations of the country, long held
back, now bounded forward' and expanded with
all the vigor and rankness of tropical vegetation
beneath the influence of a midsummer sun. The
trial which that Constitution had to encounter in
its earliest as well as in more matured existence,
was simply one engendered by a conflict of these
interests. The question was, whether it could
give protection to all these interests witnout ue
coming the partisan of one and the oppressor of
another; or, in fact, whether it has the sustaining
power to preserve its integrity against the in
fluence of interest, wielded by ambition. We
have seen the result.
The case with our Constitution is very different.
It is put in operation in time of war, and its first
movements are disturbed by the shock of battle.
Its trial is one created by the urgencies of this
contest. The question to be decided is, whether,
without, injury to its own integrity, it can supply
the machinery and afford t the means requisite to
conduct this war to that successful conclusion
which the people, in their heart of hearts, have
resolved on, and which, I trust, has been decreed
in that higher court from w hose decisiou there is
no appeal.
The solution of this question is in the bosom of
the future. But our system can never perish out
like that to which I have alluded. When ambi
tion and interest seized upon that, and destroyed
its integrity, they were not allowed to appropriate
the rule altogether to themselves. Fanaticism
came forward, and demanded to be received as a
participant of power with them, and it claimed
not in vain. Beneath the sway of this unholy
triumvirate justice was forgotten, intolerance was
established, private morals were ruined, and pub
lic virtue perished. "All feeling of constitutional
restraint passed away, and all sense of the obliga
tion of an oath was forever lost. The whole
machinery of government degenerated into the
absolute rule of a corrupt numerical majority.
Already the weaker section was marked out for
destruction by the stronger, and then c;ime dis
ruption and overthrow.' Since then, tyranny the
most absolute, and perjury the most vile, have
destroyed the last vestige of soundness in the
whole system.
Our new system is designed to avoid the errors
of the old. Certainly, it is founded in a different
system of political philosophy, and is sustained by
a peculiar and more conscivative state of society.
It has elements of strength and long life. But at
the threshold lies the question I have already
stated. Can it legitimately afford the means to
carry the war ta successful conclusion? If not,
it must perish, but a successful result must be
achieved. But it must, be destroyed not by the
hand of violence or by the taint of perjury. It
must go out peacefully, and in pursuance of its
own provisions. Better submit to momentary
inconvenience than to injure representative honor,
or violate public faith. In the whole book of ex
pedients there is no place for falsehood and per
jury. Let us, on the contrary, assiduously culti
vate the feeling of respect for constitutional limi
tation, and a sacred reverence for the sanctiou of
an oath.
Seeing, therefore, gentlemen of the House of
Representatives, that we are custodians of the
nation's life, and the guardians of the Constitu
tion's integrity, what manner of men should wc
be? How cool, how considerate, how earnest, how
inflexible, how true?
Having no'prospect in the future, save through
the success of our cause, how regardless should we
be of all selfish views and plans of personal ad
vancement. Selected by the people to take care of the State
in this time of difficulty and of trial, how we
ought to dedicate ourselves in heart, mind, soul,
and energy to the public service ! Neither history
has recorded, nor song depicted, nor fable
shadowed forth higher instances of self-devotion,
than ought to be shown in the conduct of this
Congress.
It is not allowed us to pursue a course of ob
scure mediocrity. Wc inaugurate a Government,
we conduct a revolution. We must live, live
forever, in the n-emory of men, either for praise
or for blame. If we prove equal to the crisis in
which we are placed, we maintain imperishable
honor. But if, on the contrary, we show our
selves incompetent to the discharge ot our duty,

THE WAB ON THE COAST.
A correspondent of the i Petersburg Express,
writing from Northampton county,.',N (J-, says :
'From my own observation, I am satisfied that
the fall of Roanoke Island will be of no disadvau
age to our cause, I heard many of our stout yeo
men declare, that rather than yield to the haughty
foe, they would shed their heart s dearest blood.
The loss has only made them more determined,
more decided, than they ever were j before. The
lukewarm has become energetic, and the timid as
brave as Julius Caesar. The very privations that
we submit to shall nerve our hearts to prosecute
the war of self-protection with four-fold vigor.
The ladies cheerfully give up the loxnries of life
to contribute to the comfort of the soldier. Thus
are we taught to forego the conveniences and con
trivances of Yankee cunning,' to live independent
ly apd more economically. Young1 maidens' fing
ers that once knew only the touch of the piano, or
at most the crochet needle, are wheeling the dis
taff and manufacturing stuff for their daily wear.
Our troops enjoy excellent health, and are burn-'
ing to draw the invading foe out of his woor'.en
walls, to wipe out the memory of the disaster at
Roanoke.
The victory on Roanoke Isle will be a bootless
one, for our water courses are so obstructed by
felled trees and sunken vessels, our banks and
deep coves so guarded by masked 'batteries, that
the federals can effect but little, on water, and if
they will try the land, we wilj sing, 'Y-ill you walk
into my parlor, Mr Ply" at a rate that will astonish
them.
A brace of Federal gunboats came up the
Chuwan a few days since, and as they neared
Coleraiue, they imagined that they saw a masked
battery, and very soon turned about and kept at a
more respectful distance. s ,
They have evacuated Edenton after a tempora
ry holding of the place and have sought parts un
known. This fact I have learned since the pres
ent writing was commenced.
A CONFEDERATE VICTORY.
Richmond, Feb. 21. Official intelligence heie
states that Gen. Price recently fought a Battle
near the Arkansas line, when he killed 700 of the
enemy and lost only 100 Confederates. It is re
ported as i. brilliant victory.
THE RIGHT VIEW.
An English paper, some time ago, speaking of
the war in this country, predicted that what has
happened and more too, might happen, and yet
the South would not be conquered :
From the London Herald.
" The North may lay waste, with its fleets, the
flourishing coast towns of the South; it may tilt
out its cargoeS of stones to choke up the inlets
provided for the interchange of amicable relations
between peoples by a bounteous Providence, more
merciful than man to man; it may land its armies
in the swamps to liHrrass the planters, and do
battle with the yellow fever; it may send its steam
squadron down the broad river, and burn Mobile
and New Orleans but all this will not bring it
one jot nearer to the end; all this will but add to
the fierce intensity of hate which the injured
Southerners will bequeath to the yet unborn.
Secure in their stubborn patriotism, in their firm
resolution to conquer their liberty or-die, the men
of the Confederate States will -maintain the
struggle till their enemies desist from their utter
powerlessness to protract it further."
CRUELTY. In the last six weeks, Gen. Jenni
son, at the head of a band of brigands, entered
Jackson and Cass counties, Missouri, aud laid waste
the whole country in their rouie. More than
seventy farm houses have been destroyed by fire
women and children have been turnd out in mid
winter, and refused even a blanket to protect
them from the cold towns have' been burned,
after robbing the stores of everything thy con
tained, and worse than all, 15 or 20 peaceable per
sons have been butchered in cold blood, in one
case, a husband taken from his wife's side and shot
down before her eyes.
General Lee. Ye are glad to hear that the
army of Gen. Lee. in South Carolina, is in a high
stn
tate of efficiency, and in numbers and discipline !
ighly satisfactory to that distinguished officer, j
highly satisfactory to that distinguished
Gen. Lee ha.i put the district embraced by his com
mand in an admirable state of defence, and if the
enemy makes a demonstration in that direction,
his sigual discomfiture may be predicied. The
veteran General who commands in South Carolina
is modest and unobtrusive to a fault, but we ven-
ture to say that the time will vet come when his
superior abilities will be vindicated, both to
own renown and the glory of his country.

LIST,
' Be not Discouraged. We advise our ret'
ders to read the thirteenth and fourteenth chap
ters of the second book of Chronicles in the Bible.
They will find in them food for reflection and en-
conragement. It gives the history of a battle be
tween Abijah, king of Judah,and Jeroboam. The
former bad 400,000 men and the latter 800,000
men. The army of Jeroboam ambushed the forces
of Abijah, and attacked them in front and rear.
Abijah cried unto the Lord for help. With a
shout the followers of Abijah entered into battle
and rooted the enemy, slaying 200,000 of them.
Asa, son of Abijah, went out with an array of
5CO.000 men to give battle to Zerah, the Ethiop
ian, with an army of one million, or a "thousand
thousand men aud three hundred chariots," as the
Scriptures have it. Asa cried unto the Lord and
said: "Lord, it is nothing with thee to help,
whether with many or with them that have no
power; help ns, O Lord our God, for we rest on
thee; and in thy name we go against this multitude.
O Lord, thou art our God; let no man prevail
against thee." The Ethiopians were defeated with
great slaughter. Let the people of the Confederate
States profit by these examples. They teach a
salutary lesson. Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
