EXPECTED STARVATION AT THE SOUTH.-Du-
ring the last six months the people of The rebel
States have subsisted quite will on the abun.
bant crops OF last season. But the supplies
thus obtained are nearly exhausted, and the
war has employed 90 much OF the labor of the
country, that the amount Of grain planied has
been less that usual. Besides the wheat and
corn crops in Alsbams, Mississippi, southern
Tennessee. Georgia aud other State are com
psratIve failures. In some parts the wheat
fields will -carceiy yield as much seed as was
planted Flour lie selling at $l6 per barrel aud
corn at So per bushei.
At such prices the masses of the people, al
ready impoverished by rhe war, are on the
verge Of starvation. The Union prisoners OF
General PrentIss' division. lately detained al
Moni gOmtry, were released because the rebels
could not feed them. the inha bllantS III mselveS
being short OF provisions. Before the season
ia over there will be hundreds OF thousands
starving in the rebel States, unless peace Is
restored, so that supplies can be furnished from
the abundance or the Northwest. The people
Of the tree States must be prepared TO give
freely to the deludsd and impov sTishsd people
Of the rebel States.

nearer TO Rlchmond on the southeast, aud
withdraws it FROM the north. II is regarded as
an important strategic movement, and was
quickly and successfully accomplished, though

EDITORS JOURNAL Reliable war news
in these days of swelling rumors and as
founding disclosures by i"intelligent con-
trabands," are read by the people with
avidity and interest and although can
not recount to your readers tale of " bat
ties foughtan and victories won, and although
with us--the theatre of in tense war excite
ment-we hear not the roaf of artillery or
the rattle of .musketry, still we have war
on a small scale.
Since the first report-siuce fully authen-
ticated--reached US of the sackipg of our
neighboriDg town of Newburg, rumors Of
all kinds, and from all imagin BILE sources,
" good, bad and Indifferent have been in
circulation about an attack on our own
town, frightening the old ladies and timid
men which rumors, to quote Goldsmith,
spread like wilful murder through coun-
try village" increasing as they were trans
mi,ted from mouth to mouth, until they
reached the most astounding and ridiculoss
proportions, when, fortunately for the good
1 people. another rumor would come "sigh-
mo on the breeze" be-taken up by the
grapevine operators, and 80 on, Gd '',fni-
tuns.
Rumors with us, however, have one good
effect - they keep the citizens vigi-
/ liant. Only last night letter wal
received from prominent citizens of Owens

the writer had good reason TO believe tha
there was a camp of guerrillas at Bon Har

of course we keep out guard, an
many amusing scenes are the result. Mil
tarv matters cannot be conducted to sui

nlacinp bows on guard is a military error
and INV objections would seem to be we
founded from this fact. On Sunday nigh
a small boy was placed on guard at one
l. the most important points. which, if a
enemy were disposed to come across th
