Sunday last. The workmen engaged 10
building the North Iowa r. r., became

BALTIMORE, Sept. 4

Letters from rebel soldiers at Richmond
state that the troops are in, a sad state OF
restitution, being bare-footed and in want
of suitable clothing, and the skins IN tam
merry at HiIIsboro had been taken dripping
from the watts to convert INTO shoes. All
the horses from the union and disunion
farmars had been seized, which created the
greatest dissatisfaction. The want Of con
f;,lence IS increasing daily. The hopes Of
the rebels being kept up BY reports that
the General Government had only 10000
troons around Washington, ard found il
imnossible to recruit it any more.
