Yankee Prisoners have become so numer-
GUS in Richmond that the Government is
compelled to send alarge number of them off
to the interior. in order to provide for them.
If the AbOlitionists will agree to no honora-
BILE exchange, our Government must look
well to the safety of the prisoners in its hands,
and provide for their comfort as well as they
can. Many of these prisoners have signified
willingness to take the oath Of allegiance
to the Confederate Government, and hun
dreds of them will be ready to take up arms
against the despotic Lincoln a. soon as they
find that their own rulers estimate them be-
meath the negro, and are laboring to keep
them in prison.

The Kiyh Prices of farming implements,
wearing apparel, etc, is the great excuse of
some farmers for their cXorbitant charges
for what they have to sell. II one of them
has to pay four times the usual cost for a
sythe blade he cries out cxtOrtion, willie ut
the same time he is selling potatoes and corn
at ten and fifteen times the old prices. The
desire to make money has taken possession
of all classes, but none of them seem more
bent Oh getting big bite than farmers.

Economy in the use of all the necessaries
of life is now absolutely essential, and our
people shOuli begin to practice it at once.
The soldiers in the army must have meats to
feed on, or they cannot fight, and in order to
ensure them supply those out Of the army
must do with very little, ii any. In Virginia,
where large army is to be fed. and where a
large portion Of the grazing and stock-raising
the stock of beef, hogs, and sheep, is being
rapidly used up, and will soon be exhausted
Further South the supply is much larger,
but the difficulty of bringing it here is SO
great that We need expect none save for army
purposes. The people, therefore, had as well
make up their minds to use but little mea. :,
and the sooner they do 80 the better for our
Cause. --t'
