At Pensacola there much suffering in

niand eAoibiiaIt prices from suffers. NO supplies
come from the interior. There were but few Union
families in the city, ich still presents the scenes
OF devastation and ruin which the torch of the
rebels created during their evacuation. But few
stones Were open and the business transacted was
| of very trifing character.
Many persons from the interior, whose loyalty
was said be questionable, permitted to visit
! the city ON Union passes from the INTERIOR This
practice still continues and it is reported that the
rebels, by this means are often advised OF the
movements of General Arnold, and are thus pre-
pared to counteract them. The continuous treachery
of the rebel pickets to cur own, about live or ten
miles from Pensacola, has created the impression
among the Union residents that the practice OF is
suing passes should be abolished, as some of the
Secession pickets have been recognized as recent
visitors 10 the city.
Shortly before the steamer left circumstance oc.
