NEW SERIES: VOL. I-NO. 161.
L.etter from Mr. Magraw of Pennsylvan
vauia.
The following letter from Henry S. Magraw,
of Pennsylvania, who went for Col. Cameron’s
body, and a prisoner in Richmond, has
been received at Washington :
“July 25.
“ Arrested 23d,"0n the ground that we had
come within the line of C. A. improperly.—
We are now held as prisoners of war, and we
are quartered in a tobacco house, in company
with the captured Federal officers. Have met
many friends here who been exceedingly kind.
Indeed, we were treated with kindness and
consideration from the time we were put un
der arrest at Fairfax Court House. The offi
cer in charge of us, and I believe of all the
prisoners, is a brother of Mrs. Lincoln—a Mr.
Todd, of Kentucky. When the United States
government refused to recognize the Confed
erate States govrenment as a belligerent, and
failed to send a flag of truce under which
their dead and wounded might have been pro«>
perly cared for, the authorities on this side
became very rigid in reference to these pris
oners.
“ Before this they were allowed to remain
at the hotel on parole. Now they are confin
ed and under guard all the time. As we pass
ed the battle ground day before yesterday, we
saw some of the dead lying unburied. When
the Confederates had buried their own dead,
and cared for their wounded, they then turn
ed their attention to the killed and wounded
of the enemy. Harris and I have no expec
tation of being released at an early day, al
though efforts have been made in our behalf
by leading Southern gentlemen in high posi
tion. But they will not bend the rule in our
favor, and say that the same measure meted
out to their captured shall be our fate.”

Lincoln Appoints a Day of Fasting and
Prayer.
The wicked man at Washington has just is
sued the following proclamation :
Whereas, a joint committee of both Houses
of Congress has waited on the President of
the United States, and requested him to re
commend a day of public humiliation, prayer
and fasting, to be observed by the people of
the United States with religious solemnities,
and the offering of fervent supplications to
Almighty God for the safety and welfare of
these States, His blessings on their arms and
a speedy restoration of peace ; and whereas, it
is fit and becoming in all people, at all times,
to acknowledge and revere the supreme Gov
®FP. God, to bow in humble submis
plore their sins an! wk
conviction that the fear of the Lord is the be
ginning of wisdom, and to pray with all fer
vency and contrition for the pardon of their
past offences, and for a blessing upon their
present and prospective actions ; and where
as, when our beloved country, once, by the
blessing of God, united, prosperous and hap
py, is now afflicted with factious and civil
war, it is peculiarly fit for us to recognize the
hand of God in this visitation, and, in sor
rowful rememberance of our own faults and
crimes, as a nation and as individuals, to
humble ourselves before Him and to pray for
His mercy ; to pray that we may be spared fur
ther punishment, though most justly deserv
ed ; that our arms may be blessed and made
effectual for re-establishment of law, order
and peace throughout our country, and that
the inestimable boon of civil and religious
liberty, earned under His guidance and bless
ing by the labors and sufferings of our fathers,
may be restored in all its original excellency :
Therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States, do adopt the last
Thursday in September next as a day of hu
miliation, prayer, and fasting for all the peo
ple of the nation, and do earnestly recom
mend to the people, and especially to all min
isters and teachers of religion, of all denomi
nations, to all heads of families, to observe
and keep that day according to their several
creeds and modes of worship, in all humility,
and with all religious solemnity, to the end
that the united prayer of the nation may
ascend to the Throne of Grace and bring down
plentiful blessings upon our own country.
In testimony whereof, &c.,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
By the President:
W. H. Skwahd, Secretary of Strte.

his purpose.”
Running the Blockade at Fernandina 1
The schooner Adaline, Capt. Smith, from
Nassau, N. P,, with a cargo of Coffee, cigars
and fruit, valued al $30,000, succeeded in run
ning into the port of Fernandina on Thurs
day last. The schooner was chased and fired
at by the blockading vessel, who also lowered
her boats to continue the pursuit, when a
squad coming up the men had to look after
their own safety and the Adaline got safely
into port.
The Adaline brings as passengers a Captain,
a Lieutenant, a Midshipman, and another of
ficer, who have resigned from the United
States navy.
It will be remembered Capt. Smith ran the
blockade into Warsaw about two months since.
This is the second successful voyage to and
from the British Islands since Old Abe’s pre
tended blockade.
The Adaline left Fernandina for this port,
by the inland passage, on Thursday. Suc
cess to Captain Smith!— Savannah Newt, Aug.
