How aro they to feed their Amy

How are they to feed their Army Z
How are the rebels going 20 feed their
army along the Potomac is a question
more frequently asked than easily an
swercd. Their army is now mostly
masscd in what is called the Shenandoah
Valley. truly one of the most productive
valleys in the world; but so many ar
mics have passed through il. that tits
completely eaten out: and what grain was
sown last year, rotted in the field for
want Of labor to reap it. AS 1 know by
my own experience il is impossible to
quarter a large army there. and make IL
subsist on the surrounding country. The
people have very little for themselves TO
eat, let alone a half-starved army of So
600 or 100000 men.
The only way they can procure pro-
visions from Richmond is by way of the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad TO Ma
nassas. and then by the Manassas Gap
Railroad to Strasburg and from thence in
wagons TO the camp. To attempt to bring
provisions from Staunton all the way up
the valley would be hardly possible, for
the distance is so great that it would
take an immense train moving continually
to and fro to keep them supplied. But
to attempt to bring provisions by railroad
to Strasburg would be far easier for them.
but still they run a great risk in having
their supplies cut off
If the report be true that there is no
considerable force of rebels between
Washington and Manassas. what will
prevent our sending large force under
an able General and Selling the Manassas
Gap Railroad? The rebels will either
be then forced TO retreat up the Shcnan-
doah Valley or they will have TO risk
another raid into Maryland or Pennsyl-
vania, in which event. no matter how
large their army is, twill surely be cap
turcd.-Coy. Phila. Press.
