Already the location Of 50 many non-producers
among Us prOpcrtiOnately affects the price Of pro-
visions. New corners will probably be sent fur-
ther >cuth-perhaps 70 Raleigh, y. {. Owing
u the laxIty Of our sentinels several Of the pri-
soners confined in the tobacco factories have es-
capped lately. One was brought in Yesterday. a
Lieutenant, captured about six miles from the city.
The prisoners are the object of much curiosity
10 strangers from the country. Our rural cousins
stand in front of them sometimes for hours, gaz-
ing up at the barred windows at which appear
the uncleanly forms Of our discounted enemies.
The rurals amuse themselves sometimes by shout
ing Hurrah, lankees-hUw do you feel up
there ? The prisoners treat their rather un-
generous tormentors with silent contempt. |
notice that they seem to be we'll supplied with
Richmond papers.
Some OF the prisoners appear on the streets,
apparently on parole. I was surprised to see a
New York Zouave in full costume, ACCOMPANIED
by several Richmonders, in the Exchange Hotel
saloon q few days ago. The party was evidently
on what the Zouaye would call u . tearing time"
On being asked what he would imbibe, the Zouaye
staggered up to the bar with an air inimitably
bowerylsh, and said, q" Sa-a-y, You can do up q
lJuIep for Inc, my boy In reply TO Il bvstander
he said, - he was from New York (proudly) and
had lived there 20 years, and that ne had never
been better treated in his life than in Richmond
How this : pet lamb" got out, and why the au-
thorities permitted him TO circulate around in

Several cargoes of Northern ice have mvsteri-
ousiy found their way into Virginia ports within
a few days. 1t may be safely presumed that
either the privateers are busy OF there are cute
Yankees IN the East who do not hesitate to run
their masters blockade in search Of filthy lucre.
Under the date of August 10Th, he says \
number Of Yankee prisoners have died from their
wounds, and many are suffering very much. Our
physicians say that their surgeons have mannled
them lra9ifully in a,ppur.tiy, .pl l;r,I. -, !
been taken off when there was no necessity for it.
They have their own surgeons to attend To them.
Under date of August 10th, ne says \ gentle
man connected with Il large dry goods house here
has Just come in, with u good lot of smuggled
goods. He had them hauled from Baltimore TO
where they were put across the river in five large
country wagons. Three of the wagons were
driven By captains in the Federal army, and one
by a Lieutenant.
Three regiments We're ordered from here yester-
day to Acquia Creek. Word came that two
shIps-ot-war Were off there, and they were expect
ing an attack; at least, SO rumOr said, and as we
knew the regiments were ordered there, the rumor
gained credence.
a gentleman came in on the cars day before
yesterday, 4 fellow passenger with an acquaint-
ance of mine, who had any quantity Of New
York papers. When asked where he got them, |
he said he had just run the blockade, and was
bearer of dispatches TO our Government. He
his papers, the outside of which looked
very formidable.
The New York papers say that Beauregard and
Johnston are closing in around Washington to
it off. L suppose it is only guess work with
them. 1t is generally believed that our prudent j
Gsnerals will attempt nothing but what they are
morally certain they can accomplish. This has
been the policy of the Government from the first.
They inaugurated it ut Fort Sumpter, and gained
the important post without the loss of a single
life. while, had they acted rashly, they would
have taken it probably ut the sacrifice of thou
sands. liz is better 70 snare the lives of Our bruyp 4
'oldiers, even at the risk of mourning censure
rom some of our rash and inpatient people, who
know no cry but : forward" at all hazards, and
1t any cost. ,
