The Bread Question In tho South-Im.
porsant Confessions OF the Rebel Com.
missary General.
The bread question in the rebellious States,
we have frequently contended since the begin
ming of the war, would inevitably become
powerful ally of the Union cause. In eonfr-
nation of this oft-repeated opinion, 80 far as
the problem of Southern destitution is con-
cerned we submit to our readers this morning
well authenticated letter from al. B. North
rop, Commissary General, c. s. A." addressed
to "Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary of War,
Richmond, Va.," and written from Athens,
Tenn, on the 25th Of April last
Commissary General Northrop commences
this suggestive letter with reference to "the
excessive want Of supplies in this department."
yet he writes from the heart Of East Tennessee,
that very section Of country which the rebel
journals, from Atlanta to Richmond, declare
now to be indispensable to the subsistence Of
Bragg's army through the winter. But then
Bragg had eaten up only the crops Of last year,
tho crops of the present year having been
gathered in since his expulsion into Georgia.
Northrop next complains that the cotton States
planters "evince no disposition to seed for
more than the usual quantity Of grain and
other articles necessary for the subsistence Of
the army and the people," Notwithstanding the
resolutions of their rebel Congress and other
appeals on the subject. at is lamentable,"
says this anxious writer, "that the people are
so deaf TO the appeals Of their representatives
and SO blind to their own interests. 1t is
obvious that something must be done imme-
diately, or both the people aud army must
starve next winter. This" he further says, "is
On alarming reflection; but II is fully warranted
|sby the situation. A few days more and it will
be too late"-thst is, the season for planting
the great Southern standby Of Indian corn
| would be at an end.
The writer next proceeds to discuss various
plans suggested by General Bragg for compel
ling the planters TO give up cotton and plant
corn, and finally recommends Bragg's third
| propostion--that "the government take pos
session Of the plantations, or such portions OF
them as the owners do not intend TO seed with
grain, &C., and employ the negroes belonging
thereto in raising such products as may be deem
ed necessary Officers and soldiers who have
been rendered by wounds and disease unfit for
further service in the field could be employed
as superintendents and overseers." The rebel
Secretary of War is admonished that II Is only
BY arbitrary measures that we can prevent
distress in our towns, and subsist the armies in
the Geld, through the winter and spring." Next
we are informed that this years wheat barvssts

Cosr AND CONSCIOUSNESS or EUROPEAN IN
rERvENTIoN In AMERICAN AFPAIRs--It appears
by our last European advices, that the Span.
ish occupation Of San Domingo has already
cost the Madrid government upwards of six
millions Of dollars, and that heavy appro-
priations will have to be made to meet the
deficit created by the expenses of the war
now being carried on there The invasion
Of Mexico has cost the French government
upwards Of seventy millions, and we now learn
that it is compelled TO 60 into the English
market for loan of eighty millions to enable
it to meet a similar deficit. This rate of ex-
penditure will be quadrupled as soon as the
Mexican forces which are now being collected by
Juarez are thoroughly organized and placed in
the field. Neither Spain nor France is in con-
dition to sustain such drains upon their re-
sources for enterprises which are purely specu-
lative, and which will be knocked In the head
as soon as our government is free to devote its
attention to them. What would be their posi-
ton if circumstances should bring them into
collision with this country' Twelve months of
war with US would utterly ruin and bankrupt
the finances of both. Louis Napoleon is about
to have this truth unpleasantly forced upon his
attention and that Of the French people. The
opposition, which gained such large additional
elements of strength in the last election, has an
nounced its intention Of making the Mexican
question its cheval de batdiile 1t is susceptible
Of such damaging influence in the hands
of skilful adversaries like Theirs and Jules
Favre that the Emperor may well feel con-
cerned at the prospect before him. The rumor
that he is contemplating the withdrawal Of the
French forces is not at all improbable. II is
the only step by which he can defeat the plans
of the most powerful and dangerous opposition
that has ss yet been organized against bis gov
ernment
The New York herald., 1863-11-06

The CALL FOR voLuNrEERs.-The response
to the Presidents call for three hundred thou
sand volunteers is likely to be all that could be
wished, and it is not at all improbable that New
York State will be ahead of all others in fur
nishing her quota. The .bounties offered are
most liberal. The veteran volunteer who has
served before will receive the sum OF s402, and
those who have not been in the service 1902,
which sums will be paid in eight regular install
ments during the term Of service-the first being
paid before leaving the rendezvous and the last
at the expiration of the three years for which
volunteers are called into the field. With these
inducements there cannot be much difficulty
in raising the required number But the 60
vernment should see that these bounties are
faithfully and punctually paid. There must be
no distrust in the mind OF the volunteer or his
family upon that point. Nor should bounty
agents-those middle men who stand between
the government and the VOLUNTEER, and who for
the most part are mere sharks and shysters-
be tolerated under sny circumstances. They
should be stunned and discouraged. Let the
money come from direct source to the volun-
teer, undiminished by any fees or impostions,
and all will be we'll.
Gov. Seymour has appointed committees in
each Assembly district to act with the recruiting
agents Of the Provost Marshal and dsburse the
State bounty of SIS to each recruit. Now that
the hustle Of the election Is over, and we have
shaken of the dust Of local politics, recruiting
for the national cause will no doubt commence
with earnestness all through the State, and the
quota Of one hundred and eight thousand will
be forthcoming by the 9th Of January.
The official returns show that the govern.
ment has raised, for the different terms Of SER
vice, up to the lst Of January, 1868, no less
than l,276,246 volunteers; and this without
counting the enlistments In California, Virginia,
Tennessee, Maryland and Delaware, from which
States no returns have yet been made There
are plenty moro men where these came from,
and II proper care Is taken 10 fu6l the pro-
mises held out in the shape OF bounties We shal l

rhe Great reIitaosA Pist In Ohas'
Since the three historic h'hors met In gar
ret in Tooley street. In the CITY, OF London ana
there took measures. in tho M me OF "we' the
people Of England" TO overth -ow the gress
edi6oe Of the British constitutA N, We nave
never heard or read Of such conspiracy
against established authority as that which mas
just been brought to light by the on rnisc'ens
detective police of Cincinnati. This xtraor-
dinary case Of treason, "a the telegraph re-
porter calls 1t. had for programme the rel. 'ase
of the rebel prisoners at Camp Chase, Nhe
seizure OF the arsenal at Columbus, the storm
ing ofthe Bastile, or Penitentiary, the release
therefrom of John Morgan and the other que
rillas confined there, grand plundering and
massaereing raid through Ohio, the overthrow
of the State government, and, az matter of
course, the annexation of the State to the en-
pire of JEFF Davis.
Through what powerful agencies was this
most magnificent programme to be carried outs
The keen-eyed, ready y-witted, ubiquitous de-
tectives, headed by the United States Marshal
and provost marshal, probed tho mysterious
plot to it's vast depth and through all its varied
rami6cations, and arrested all the concocters
and principal managers Of it. Who were they!
Not the valorous Vallsndigham, who is watch
ing and waiting on the border; not Sunset Cox,
who happened to be in the East making politi-
cal speeches against the administration and in
favor Of the copperheads; not any other des-
perado ever heard of before in public life, on
the stump, on the bloody battle field, or in
plundering expeditions of the Quantrell type.
Not all nor any Of such people appear to be
implicated in this plot to blow up the political
edifce Of Ohio, and shatter it
From turret to foundation stone.
The Guy Fawkeses of the dark November
plot are a schoolmaster Of Columbus-one
whose suspicious business it is to "teach the
young idea how to shoot;" sutler of the
same vicnage, who may be supposed to be
perfectly familiar with ardent spirits; a rebel
agent and rebel mail carrier from Kentucky,
Cincinnati tailor and his wife, aud, finally,
muscular washerwoman, who carried on her oc
cupation around the camps of the latter city.
These are the vile conspirators who had banded
together to bring wars desolation upon the
peaceful hearths of q great community. How
shocking to think of it! Well may the people
of Ohio be grateful to the police whose vigi
lance frustrated this reasonable conspiracy
against the peace and sovereignty of their
State What might not have happened if the
washerwoman and the tailor's wife, the tailor
himself and the schoolmaster. the letter carrier
and the rebel agent, had been allowed to ma
ture their plot and levy war against the Com
monwealth? For the deiverance of the people
of Ohio from this terrible danger may they be
truly thankful; and we would suggest to them
to set apart in their calendar the 1st of Novem-
ber, to be observed throughout all time in CON-
memoration Of the event, just as the 5th of
November is observed in England in perpetual
remembrance of "the Gunpowder Plot"
