GLIMPSEs OF LILLE AMONG THE REBELS
We have before us a file of the Charleston
Courier, including papers from Monday
March 30, to Tuesday, April7.
Gold seems to be in demand in Charles
ton. The Courier of the It'll saws:
"a gentleman lately was purchasing in
one Of the King street shops coat, which
perhaps might have commanded eight dol
lars in ordinary times. He was asked forty
dollars, and on taking cut the money he
showed five gold dollars. With a glance
like that of a vulture over fat carcass the
seller of the coat eagerly remarked, point
ing to the gold, Give me dat and dake de
coat ~. eli
sin another case, we are told, flour. for
which seventy-five dollars in bills was ask
ed, was offered for ten dollars in specie.7
How far can such things be carried?''
1t would seem from the following that
torpedoes, like curses, sometimes "come
home to rOost':
''The steamer Marion, Captain John
Flynn, while engaged on Monday in i'm
portant military service in Ashley River.
met with misfortune from an explosion
of gunpowder, by which several large
openings were made in her below the wa
ter line, and caused her to sink in a few
minutes. We are informed that the water
is about five fathoms deep where she now
lies, and she will be nearly total loss.'
SCARCITY OF SUPPLIES.
A heavy black frost prevailed in the
States of North and South Carolina and
Georgia, on the morning OF the first of April:
1.-THE mountains in western North Caro-
lima were covered with snow. 1t is feared
by persons competent to judge that the en-
tire crop of early fruit, peaches, plums, DC.
has been killed."
The Courier in numerous paragraphs
urges extended cultivation of provisions
1t says:
"All signs admonish us that we cannot
plant too largely for provisions.
ave are informed that ice was seen in
Kingstreet and other portions of Williams
burg district, last Saturday morning.
Commanders of posts, detachments or
encampments, who do not intend to have
gardens for their commands, should at
least condescend to exercise and enforce
discipline so far as to protect and preserve
the farms and crops of those who are en-
deavoring to raise food for the army and
the country.
zone grain of corn in the earth is as a
bullet in the heart of a Yankee soldier; and
a ridge of potatoes is worth any mile of
breastwork. from Vicksburg to the Kappa
hammock.
MISCELLANEOUS.
An effort is making to commence the Gull
tivation of the poppy, in order to get a sup
ply of opium. The rebel army Medical De-
partment is sending out poppy seeds.
The Wilmington Journal reports that
it is proposed to ''get up stock for steam
er to run from here and do our business
with foreign countries in one of our own
bottoms.

would do well to open communication with

sire to sell property In the South. The

SIGNIFICANT EDITORIAL IN THE RICH
NoNp ENQUIRER. - 1t may be doubted
whether our people are yet fully alive to the
arduous character of the task they have
undertaken, in indicating the sovereign
tv of these States against SO powerful an
enemy. If they truly appreciated it, we
believe that there would not be such dis
NAV of sumptuous dress in our streets; not
spmcb a demand for costly fabrics not pro-
duced at home, which must be purchased
i'm the enemy's country and smuggled
across the lines. We should not have
heard SO much lately of constitutional OPP
position to impressment for the supsls. .enS
pf our forces: nor would Congress be spend
ing its time in discussing abstract PROPOSE
tions concerning the unconstitutionality OF
martial law, and defining the differences

of all approaches to consolidated govern

HE POLICY OF CONCENTRATIONS
cause any military venture fails it neither
follows that it was not well planned or well
conducted. The larger part of the denun-
citation of our commanders grows out of
unreasoning, childish Impotence. Have
not the rebels also brains, and arms and
munitions of war? And as to men, they
either equal us, or have such means of
moving them where they are wanted as to
compete with us in numbers and we may
be certain that the Southern armies will be
kept full as long as there are men enough
left in the South to fill them. When the
rebel leaders say they will exhaust the last
man and the last dollar before they yield,
they mean it, and they will do it, unless
their despotic hold on the Southern people
is in some way broken. Nor is there much
force in the loose denunciation of the Ana
conda'' policy. To q certain extent that
method of conducting the war is essential.
So far as the blockade of the Atlantic ports
is concerned this is evident, and if we could
also have put an embargo on the rebel
trade across the Rio Grande it would have
been a great point. And 1t is equally evil
dent that we must protect all the important
lines of intercourse with the rebel States |;
otherwise the raids of their guerrillas
would be more destructive than they are.
But, giving due weight to these and other
like considerations, it nevertheless looks as
if we had scattered our forces quite too
much. The main thing to be done is to
get at and defeat the rebel armies. The
capture of cities and strateglcal points Is
important only as contributing to this SUI
preme aim of intelligent fighting, the de-
feat of the erfemy's armies. Perhaps If
those who have controlled the various cam
paigns had kept this idea more prominent,
and had thought less about taking Rich
mond, Charleston and Vicksburg, we
should have seen better results for the men
and money already expended. We say
perhaps, because we have unlearned our
contempt for the power and resources of
the rebels and do not feel certain that any
line Of military policy could have made
