An Alarming Statement.

A statistical correspondent Of the Sa-
vannah Republican puts fsrth series of
startling calculations, going to show that
the Southern army and the Southern peO-
pie are alike in peril Of starvation. Here
are his figures;
"If the Government wants whisky, are
there no means by which its real agents
may be distinguished from the multitude
Of sub-agents who, like swarm of insects,
pellute everything they touch, and, if let
alone, will bring mildew and moral blight
in every section of the State by the en-
eoursgement Of distilleries. Why not
confine the establishment of distilleries to
localities in which the production of grain
is sufficiently great to justify it? "
8" II, sir, this thing is not stopped by
the proper authorities, our army will have
to be disbanded for want Of provisions, in
less than eight months. We have no grain
to spare. If every acre of land in the
Confederacy, which is safe from the raw
ages of the enemy, were cultivated in
grain at an average yield, it would not
supply US with provisions without the
most rigid economy. The cavalry branch
Of the service and transportation stock
alone consume at least 10000 bushels of
grain per day; while $4,000 bushels of
meal and 100000 pounds Of bacon, at reg
ular army rations, is required to sustain
the army daily"
"To this almost incredible amount we
may add one-fonrth for waste in trans
portation and destruction upon retreats, I
and another fourth for the consumption Of
the invading forces. Now multiply this
amount by S65 and we have 36,5OO, 900
bushels Of grain, I82, 800 0OO pounds of
bacon, which amount is absolutely re-
quired for the support of the army alone
for one year. Independent of this, we
have to support population of about
eight millions. This calculation is made
independent of the two fourths allowed
above for waste and consumption of the
enemy. These are mathematical facts,
and yet there are those who are so blind,
or so lost to all sense Of propriety, or so
devoid Of patriotism, as to erect or en-
courage tho erection of distilleries in the
land, at great risk of being overpowered
by the enemy-for I hold that if we are
conquered it will be by hunger and naked
ness, and not by the enemy
1.-THE public suppose those sub agents to
be the principal agents of the Government,
and, therefore aid them in their hellish
designs upon the Government. Distilleries
will be established upon every branch in
the land. Our soldiers are to be starved,
and their families left in destitution-
Bacchus will be the supreme god of the
land, and our negroes led into dissipation and
consequent iasurTeetion.n

strange Escape from Suicide.

The following story, the London Times
says, has been confirmed by NJ Duroc, the
Mayor Of Pont-aux-Anes, who is now in
London:
"Aninn-keeper at -Anes. driv-
en- to despair by the fansticism of his wife
and the interference Of the priesthood, de-
termined on suicide. Having more than
once been thwarted in his, under the cir
cumstances, not unnatural desire for self
destruction, he hit upon the following ex-
pedient to crafty his wishes. He pro-
Vided himself with a ladder, a rope, a pis-
tol, bottle Of poison, and a box of luci-
fers. He then proceeded to the sea-shore.
For minute he wavered in his purpose.
but, seeing his wife at distance, in con-
versation with 8 Jesuit, he muttered a
short sentence and continued his dread
course. Mounting nigh rock by means
Of his ladder, he fastened the rope to a
crag jutting over the sea. Spurning the
ladder with his foot, it fell into the seeth-
ing deep. Placing his head in moose, he
made assurance quadruply sure by simul-
tsneOusly applying the various instru-
ments of destruction. He first swallowed
the poison, then set FIRE to his clothes
next fred the pistol into his mouth. and
threw himself from the rock. Providence,
however, which loves to bring good out Of
evil, interfered. The bullet, passing
through his cheek, cut the rope, falling into
the sea the water extinguished the flames,
while the brine, entering his stomach,
caused it to yield the potion which in
another moment would have pervaded his
system. The man recovered his senses hv
the shock he underwent, swan to the shore
and returned TO his home, where he now
lives the laughing stock of his friends, and
the patient victim of his wife's devotion
and of the Jesuits exhortation."

Here am at last in Dixie, and have
been for the space of one week. Our reg
iment left Springfield two weeks ago last
Wednesday morning, arriving in Boston
and going on board ship the same evening
We we're divided, the right wing on the
Mississippi with the 45th, and the left on
the Merrimac with the 49d. Dropped
down the harbOr before morning, and lay
at anchor waiting for gunboat to convoy
US, as the rebel Alabama was reported to
be on the lookout for US For the next
four days we lay there, through as hard a
northeast storm as ever knew. Friday
was the toughest day in the harbor since
Minot's Ledge Lighthouse was destroyed.
There were fifteen hundred men packed on
board each of the transports, and we went
down in the lower hold where the light of
day never came, and with the sea-siekness
and miserable rations were as forlorn q set
Of fellows as you could well find. Our
officers kept promising relief, but Sunday
morning came and things were worse
than ever. The men had borne about all
they could, and curses both loud and deep
arose plentifully, learn, from our hell
hole. The citizens of Boston held an in
dfgnation meeting, and Sunday night May
or Wightman sent down a steamer and
took our regiment up to Fsnueil Hall. A
happier set of fellows you never saw than
we we're after eating a good supper, and
had our blankets spread over the floor for
good nights sleep.
Monday afternoon seven hundred of our
boys went on board the Saxon, which had
been chartered fer our relief, and the re-
mainder were equally divided between the
two other boats We sailed at sunset, and
after 8 very pleasant voyage arrived at
Moorhead City, Friday evening. Took
cars at daylight next morning, and came
forty miles to this delectable city. Are
just getting settled, but will move again
as soon as our barracks, which are build
ing, are finished. Our present camp is on
the right bank of the Neuse, but the bar
racks are the other side of the Trent.
There are now - Massachusetts Regi-
ments here, and - more coming soon
What we are here for no one seems to know,
but probably some expedition will start
from here, somewhere, soon. The Captain
has just looked in, and says we are to be
inspected by the Major General in one
hour. R. A.P.

GAMBLING IN NEw YoRK.-The New
York correspondent of the Boston Journal
says: 1.-TWO merchants of New York met
for game Of chance, in other words, to
gamble. Both are men we'll known. Both
of them have been very rich, and one is so
stlll. But re7erses and perhaps gambling,
has brought one down to the sum of $50
900. The game ran on. The $50 600 man
held high hand. He proposed q game of
bluff. It was accepted if the stakes should
be the full sum of $4,000. Confident of
winning, it was accepted. The game was
against him, and he vent out q begpar.
He came in the nextday and paid up like
a man." His generous antagonist in
consideration of his honorable conduct
in paying this 'debt Of honor made him
a present of $4,000 to begin the world
anew. The fortunate winner can be seen
any pleasant afternoon with his spanking
team on Central Park.

Word.
Among the vices which are contracted
and confirmed in the camp, is that Of pro
family. It is common to all armies Of all
nations, and ours is no exception. Those
who went into the army pure and spOtiess
in their daily intercourse, now utter the
most blasphemous oaths with a familiarity
which will almost cause the blood to curdle
in the veins of the unaecustOmed hearer.
The fearful and solemn oath, So help me
God, which is even in courts of Law the
most solemn adjuration which can be i'm
posed upon witness, and the false taking
Of which commits the offender to the State
Prison, is taken upon the most trivial occa-
sions and without thought Of its meaning.
A startling instance of terrible punish
ment for thoughtless oath is thus related
by a correspondent of the Salem Republi-
can, from the 1O4th Ohio regiment:
Quite q strange affair occurred in Co..
Z, few days ago. One of the boys got out
Of humor because he had to prepare for
dress parade. He sWore about il good
deal, and declared be wouldn't 20 out; he
hoped God would never let him speak an
other word if he went out on dress parade.

MORNING LEADER.
The Northwest and the Valley of the AIis-
efe9funf

sissiDpi.
The Grenada Appeal frebel,) predicts
that there will be an alliance between the
Northwestern States and those lying in
the valley ofthe lower Mississippi, on &c
count Of their community Of interests,
while they viii be glad to leave the East
ern States out Of the calculation. The
Appeal says that the matter has been sub
mitted to the rebel Government as one
worthy Of serious consideration. This is,
however, but a superficial view Of the
case. It is true that the natural outlet
Of the grains of the Northwest has been
down the Mississippi to markets and the
Gulf. But the closing of that river has
opened new routes to the East and divert
ed trade into new channels. Ali the rail-
roads and lines Of canals leading east
ward have been crowded to their utmost
capacity with the moving tide Of grain
and cattle, and commercial intercourse
has grown up which viii be continued,
even after the war shall have closed. And
when the Illinois and Michigan Canal
shall be prepared for the passage Of boats
from the upper Mississippi to Lake Michi-
gan, this traffic viii be largely increased,
and made too permanent to be broken
up.
But there is another tie which is even
stronger than that Of trade, which viii
always bind tho Eastern States and the
Western together. The hardy pioneers of
the' West have been men who were trained
mp to the habits which have made them
successful, upon tbs soil and in the families
Of New England, where, when the rocks
are too sterile and the soil too cold to raise
crops, they build schoolhouses and raise
men AID the prairies Of the West as
well as the banks Of every available
stream, testify by their products of indus
try to the energy and capability of the
New England emigrants These pioneers
do not forget the land Of their birth, nor
do their children after them, and they
would as soon think Of seeding from
their own families as from their mother, the
true-hearted Yankee land. But not alone
for those who have already gone, but also
for those who are yet to come, can the far
WestiIl afford to part company from their
birth and dtrainiRg-plsee There have been
as rich lands as valuable manufactur-
ing privileges, and as fair-spread grazing |
pastures in Arkansas and Louisiana as in
Illinois and Iowa and Wisconsin. But
they have been so cursed with Slavery
that the men of liberty-lOving New Eng |
land would not go in to occupy them, and
without them the wilderness has refused |
TO blossom as the rose.
The tie of blood is too strong tObe broken
at the dictates of mereenary trade. When
both can go hand in hand, then the North
west viii welcome her Southern sister
States, but if one is to suffer at the ezpe
Of the other, the eformer will not be thefrst
to break.

The Situation at FredericksburE---Why
Sumner did not Cross the River.

The Situation at FredericksburE---Why
Sumner did not Cross the River.
TheOpinionhas been generally expressed
that unless there was some urgent reason
with which We we're not acquainted, Burn
sides army should have crossed the Rap
pahsnnock between Falmouth and Freder-
icksburg as soon as General Summers
corps arrived upon the banks, rather than
wait and allow the enemy to mass his
forces on the opposite shore and construct
formidable fOrtifcations. A correspond
entOf the Tribune explains this delay by
saying that the pOntOon bridge which
Burnside was promised should meet him
at Falmouth, was FIVE days behind-hand,
and the river could not be crossed without
it.
But the same writer says that all the
deSenses of the enemy to dispute the pas
sage Of the river at Falmouth, will be use
less, for the crossing will be made else
where. BE writes, on Tuesday last:
"Genersl LongstreetJ very clearly, for
the past two days, has been anticipating a
movement on our part to cross the old ford
near Falmouth, and in order to prevent it
has planted his batteries 50 as to com
mand the ford at almost every angle. But
if I an not mu0h mistaken, his work has
all been in vain. Not a man from our
army will cross, or attempt to cross, at
that point. There are other fords more
practicable, and other ways Of circumvent-
ing this willy General than by accepting
battle where be seems most inclined to Of
fer it. Therefore, think that for the next
two or three days the struggle between
General Lee and General Burnside win be
purely a mental one, nothing but the cali
Der and reach Of the brain will be tested.
We must wait patiently, therefore, while
this silent struggle is going on"
