An enemy waging war in a manner violative of the usages of civilized nations, has invaded our coun try. With presumptuous reliance on superior num bers, he has declared his purpose to reduce us to submission. We struggle to preserve our birth right of constitutional freedom.' Our trust is in the justice of our cause and the protection of our God. . Recent disaster has spread gloom over the land and sorrow sits at the hearth-stones of our countrymen ; but a people conscious of rectitude and faithfully relying on our Father in Heaven may be cast down, but cannot be dismayed. They may mourn the loss of the martyrs whose lives have been sacrificed in their defence, but they receive this dispensation of' Divine Providence with humble submission and reverent faith. And now that our hosts are again going forth to battle, and loving hearts at home are filled with anxious solicitude for their safety,' it is meet that the whole people should turn imploringly to their Almighty Father and beseech His all powerful protection. - s To this end therefore, I, JEFFERSON DAVIS, President of the Confederate States of America, do issue this my proclamation; inviting all the people to unite,' at their several places of worship, on Fri day; the 1 6th day of the present month of May, in .humble supplication to Almighty bod that He will vouchsafe His blessing on bur beloved country ; that He will strengthen and protect bur armies ; that He will watch over and preserve our people from the evil machinations of our enemies ;,and that He will in this, our good timej'restore to us the blessing of peace and security under His sheltering care.

They'll air die before they give up ; but some of our prudent lotos-eating North-Carolina gentlemen like to air their superior wisdom and' foresight, and tell us authoritatively that we are in a pretty tolerable hopeless fix," and will have to give up. To be sure, we, being only women, are not to be expected -to-know much, and in fact, we don't know much, Zeph Pettibone can overwhelm lis directly with his facts. There is the enemy, and there are the eggs ;, we do not know what to reply to such arguments, but we feel that we would die, sooner than give up; whereupon, Zeph tells us we talk bosh. -We say we put our trust in God, and believe that He will help us, and that right early. To which Zepb re plies, with a smile of pity, that if we go to prophecy ing, he has no more to say for his part, he looks at facts and probabilities. , ' - v : Mr. Standard, the old Union, which we alf loved once, will never be re constructed. The South can never be whipped back into that harness;, because,, it the men should yield, the women never will- never, never, never. I have never yet met a South--, era woman who was not- heart and soul for resis tance unto death, dearly as it costs them; and if there are ten women to be found in the whole Con federacy who have made money- by this war, or have taken advantage of the necessities of their, fellow-citizens to enrich themselves, then I shall give up, and not before. If any women can be found who have bought sugar at 11 cents and sold it at 85 who have trcbbled the prices of old goods who have raised the prices of flour and ba con the very day that volunteers were paid their bounty money who have cleared hundreds by re peatedly engaging to go as substitutes for $500, and then engaging some poor man in our stead for $100. I say, when such things are to be found on the re cord of the women of the South, then let our Zeph Pettibones be heard with respect Till then, let our loyal women discountenance " the men who, whether high in office, or low. in the social ranks, dare to preach of possible surrender and subjuga tion. Mow can it bet From what corner of an honorable man's brain does such an idea crawl out' Shall we, .indeed, live to see our President, land statesmen, and generals, exiles and fugitives our lands parcelled out to Northern men,, our forts "garrisoned by soldiers of African descent," and our very name a by word of contempt through all lands r Does any Morth-tarolinian look this calmly ih tbe face, and say, "Yes, it may be?" or is Zeph Pettibone doomed to be .instantly overwhelmed with a torrent of righteous abhorrence and scorn, while we vindicate to the world our right to eovern ourselves and our slaves as we please? .-.

It is time to commence your labors for the public welfare, which I fear has been too long neglected.' In the name of the God of peace and for the national interest,-put your heads together to concoct some- thing for the public good, anchgive us less talk about Holden Holden. When certain nobles talked of Luther as an ignorant, obscure Monk, " then,", said the Queen, "you gentlemen have nothing tp do, but to write him down." -You gentlemen are not going to fight,, and you have nothing to do but to write Holden down, . Let the people say if Holden's paper shall be suppressed. J They have the power,. and they can suppress in their own way and time they win suppress, lney once suppressed the Pe tersburg Intelligencer, ; and a vile paper called the Little Adder. - You seem perfect in pedigree. : Yon object to Holden's humble birth... " You sneer at his lowly origin." Impotent objection ignominous sneer. ' " Where but in the spirit of a man can his nobility be lodged," and where his dishonor but in his own unworthy deeds.? Do you think your own haughty lineage can make Holden noble? Then away with your notions that humble birth can make, a man base. - -' '. . - I am not so much astonished at the Journal as at the Reguter. Holden caned the Journal man, and exposed him, for exercising the privilege of a North Carolinian and a Republican, when he was a British, subject The man who can unworthily violate the Constitution of his adopted country by denying bis birth-right and his citizenship to bis native land, may be watched, for such an one is oapable of base ly betraying the people.,.- -. . 'v, I shall look for better sentiments from the Begie ter, in this extreme peril of the country. The poo-' pie will not read a journal entirely devoted to the abuse ol one man. Now that the enemy have' over run a portion of the State, and our citizens are flyv ing from borne, .the; Begieter could, find, dejected hearts to inspire and encourage. It Were better for the Begieter to fill up his columns with the'solemn formula pronounced by the French-when the en my pressed them bard, and werb about to take their; capital " Citizens, the country is ki .dangerJ' izeng, the country is in danger.- ' - . .
