o sink. She was set on fire and abandoned. After everything that could be removed from the frigate was saved, she was set on fire by our men, and soon blew up with a loud report, and presenting a grand sight. The officers and crew of the Prony express themselves in terms of much thankfulness for the valuable and timely assistance rendered them. Our busy little fleet in the Old North State are, for the most part, as follows: Sea Bird--Flag-officer Lynch. Curlew--Captain Hunter. Fanny--Captain Taylor. Forrest--Captain Hoole. Ellis--Captain Cooke. Winslow--(Sunk and partially burned,) Captain McCarrick.

rust ing in the justness of our cause, we appeal to Him that He may set at naught the efforts of our enemies, and put them to confusion and shame: Now, therefore, 1, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States, in view of the impending conflict, do hereby set apart Friday, the 15th day of November, as day of fasting humiliation and prayer; and I do hereby invite the Reverend Clergy and the people of these Confederate States, to repair on that day to their usual places of public worship, and to implore the blessing of Almighty God upon our arms, that He may give us victory over our enemies, preserve our homes and attars from pollution, and secure to us the restoration of pease and prosperity. Given under my hand and the seal of the Confederate States, at Richmond, this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty one. Jefferson Davis.

; for it was hoped that every voter remaining in the county would turn out and swell the vote as much as possible for Davis and Stephens, thereby showing that we endorse the administration of the new-born Government. The meagre vote cast by no means indicates the feeling of the people. We all give a hearty approval of the acts of the Executive; and if the Yankees can get any comfort from the meagerness of the vote, and wish to try it on with the hope, of success, predicated on those grounds, they will "not only be deceived, but likewise sucked in." The election returns come in slowly, and as yet it is impossible to say who is elected to Congress. There were four candidates in the race: Hon. A. R. Boteler, Hon. Wm. Lucas, Andrew Hunter, and Thos C. Green. This county gave Boteler a small majority. It is wholly immaterial which one of the candidates is elected, as they are all sound Southern men, heart and soul, and will represent the district properly. More anon. Potomac.

ught this was one of the most important questions that had arisen for the action of the House. We are not able to foresee what may be the length or uncertainties of this war, and it becomes us, therefore, to do what we can to conciliate the various interests within our Common wealth. He reviewed the various arguments presented in the previous discussions of this question; and in concluding he expressed the hope that the representatives of the Northwest, themselves, would soon have an opportunity, on this floor, to vindicate their section, if possible, from the charges made against it. Mr. Robinson, of Richmond, was opposed to the indefinite postponement of the resolutions which provided for filling these vacancies. The question was further elaborately argued by Messrs., Bouldin, Hunter, McKinney, and Barbour, who set forth the constitutional objections to the filling of vacancies in the manner proposed. At the conclusion of Mr. Barbour's argument the House adjourned.
