DEATH OF A FAITHFUL SLAvE.-The Atlanta
Coysderacy notices the death of faithful negro
man named Randall, belonging to T. G. Simms; ESQ.
The paper says:
He was most faithful, honest negro, held in the
highest estimation Of his master and mistress, and
had the respec. of all who knew him. He was gen.
orally employed at his masters store-frequenty
being left in charge of it for days at time, when
his master absent-such was the confidence re.
posed in him; and he never failed to give full and
satisfactory account for every cent he had taken in
and paid out -.
Randall had accumulated considerable amount
Of money in his time, and had no wife or children
to whom he could bequeath it. lie therefore gave
it to his Mistress expressing the hope that with
she would be able to purchase another servant that
would prove to be as faithful as he bad been. He
said he did this because his master and mistress had
always been kind to him, and had never mistsssted
him, while he had always tried to serve them hon
estly and faithfully. His room was very well fur
nished With very nice furniture and articles of COM
fort. This he gave to fellow servant who had
kindly waited on him in his last sickness. OF the
money he had accumulated about $500 wis in gold
and silver.

SCARCITY IN REBELDoM.-A contrma-
tion.-The Norfolk Union publishes some
letters taken on the underground route
from Richmond to the secesh in Baltimore.
One of these, directed to JOS. W. JENKINS
ST., Baltimore, contains the following:
The only real cause of apprehension
now, is the scarcity of provisions; SO
much of our fair land has been desolated
by those God-for4ken wretohss; our
houses burned, our slaves stolen, every
thing destroyed, that there are grave rea-
sons for experimenting scarcity of bread
stuffs. Already prices are frightfully high,
with an upward tendency. We must
ouly hope and pray. We have cheerfully
given up all Injuries, and if it comes to
the worst will not murnur; for already
our troops are in many instances on half
rations, still they were hearty and cheer
ful. My brother wrote me word the other
day that he had not had morsel of meat
that he could eat, in month; had heen
living on biscuit a trifle musty, but was
we'll as ever, and ready for the coming
fray. His regiment now guards .. s.
Ford, above fredericksburg.
