Ar the beginning of the war the people
of the loyal States underestimaIed the
supply of food at the South, and over-es-
timated the power of our bloekading squad
ron to keep vessels from running into
Southern ports. Twas quite general be-
lief that the South would soon be reduced
to great suffering. This expectation, as
every one knows, was not met. As month
after month passed away, we saw that the
rebels still had food. They were pretty
soon deprived, In great measure, of ma.
ny of the Injuries of life, and the prices OF
such as could be obtained, were so high as
to place them beyond the reach Of the
great mass of the people. Still the effec-
tive hEhting power and the general health
OF the southerners were not affected at all
by the scarcity. The blockade forced the
reoels to rely on themselves for man!
things they had always purchased Of 9th
era aud was thus, in some respects, an in
direct help to them.
But the evidence that the people are re-
duesd to suffering in some parts Of the
South, are now coming to Us from SO many
and so authentic sources. that We cannot
doubtit. Gov. Moore, In an official COM
munication to Jef. Davis, confesses that
the LOuisianians are in danger of starya-
tiou. Sow. Vance, of North Carolina says
that do1r can now be obtained by the rich
alone. Read the touching letters which
we copy from the Raleigh Standard, on our
Rrst page, descriptive of the suffering con-
dition of the people of that State. One
writer says that not half of the people 10
his vicinity, have a sign of a shoe, though
the ground is frozen, and not Que third
have shoes that will keep their feet dry,
that all wearing apparel aud all utensils
needed in the house or on the farm, are
nearly as scarce, that there is not a
pound of salt to every white inhabitant
IN that county, and that it is very
difficult TO obtain corn at even any
price, and that If the war lasts till next
June, with all the eOusoripts in the army
there will not be food enough in the State
TO prevent starvation. 1t appears by the
other letter which We copy, that the with
drawal from the farms, by CONSUMPTION, of
the able-bodied men. has greatly dimin-
isqed the crops, and that soldiers wives
arc trudging barefoOted from place to
place, begging for corn aud finding none.
Now these are not the reports Of ..reiia-
BILE gentlemen" "intslllgent contrabands, /"

Governors, of correspondents of South

What horrible tale Of carnage is that
told in the dispatches this morning. 1t
makes the loyal heart sick to read it. Aud
to thiuk, too, that after all the dreadful sac
ri6ce, nothing was accomplished. Men
were moved down az men seldom ever have
been, aud as they never have been in late
days, and yet their blood is uuavenged.-
Comparatively few of their destroyers fell.
Never was costly sacrifice more cheaply
purchased. All told, the rebels have not
made SO clear profit since the war COM
meuced. We sorely lament the terrible re-
verse. aea
"Somebody has blundered," indeed. Who
1t Is of course is yet matter purely of
speculation. 1t will creep out soou. how
ever, just as the details Of this morning
have crept out We trust that the whole
facts will speedily be laid before the people.
The Government owes it to itself to exhib-
it its own record in connection with the
bloody tragedy. The people, in the alb
seuce of other responsible agencies, will
hold the goyernmentrespOnsible. and will,
in defiance of the techuicslities of ev-
ideuce, assume that b!under, or something
worse than blunder, has been committed,
aud will demand that those suspected prove
themselves clear.
1t is time that the whole trouble con.
nected with this war was uuderstoOd.-
There is baneful, destroying, dissipating,
sntangliug influence somewhere. Where
Is it? We prepare, we levy, we accumu-
late, we mobilize, aud we fpd forever. in
the East, when the day of trial comes, tina,
all our labors and all our hopes tnrn, like
the Dead Sea fruit, to ashes in our hands.
The war on tho Potomac thus far has been
monstrous failure. No results follow
preparations and outlaya of tue most in
credible character. Elsewhere the fortune.
of war have at least been evenly ours, but
on the Potomac every effort has been more
or.Iess of failure.
We dsvoutly hope that our disasters are
over. Surely the tickle tide will soon turr
of itself. despite incapacity or unworthi.
ness. These must be the sureties of sue
cess 10 all the elements of war that are SC
vastly concentrated on the Potomac. Il
there nobody that can bring success out Of
them7 oh for the touch OF some born.
master of the situation.
