| SOUTHERN INTELLIGENCE.-A somewhat
careful study of the Richmond papers is
convincing that the food question, in the
South. is one of the first magnitude. The
journals abound in paragraphs by turns
denouncing and expostulating with the
| farmers of Virginia for the extraordinary
negligence in furnishing vegetables and
meats for the markets. The Richmond
! Wing says it is no longer worth while to
mince matters, and announces that what
ever may be the quantity of food on hand
in the rural districts OF Virginia, bread
! famine is imminent in the capital; and it
points the observation by shaming the peo-
pie with the suggestion that such para
graph will be read by their enemies with a
great deal Of satisfaction. All manner of
expedients seem to have failed. In vain
the people are informed that the Govern
ment does not propose to impress their
horses or their marketing; they will not
visit the city. The fact appears to be, that,
in the first place, there is a scarcity of food
throughout Virginia; and, in the second
place, the rebel currency is so nearly abso-
lutely worthless, that people do not care
about being troubled with it; and those
who have slight surplus of food, would
prefer to keepit on hand to exchanging it
for any quantity of the trash that is ground
n,,fh x,f k,n ,,,,fi n
er. The presence OF prisoners. numbering
about thirteen thousand, in the vicinity of
Richmond, is grievously complained of,
because the quantity OF food necessary to
keep life in their bodies is much more con-
siderable than can be conveniently furnish
ed by the authorities. The Richmond
Journals themselves taken as witnesses, it
would seem nearly impossible that the
winter could pass without positive famine
in that city. Recent Atlanta papers men
ton a similar state of affairs there. and so
far as we are informed, the difficulty is
common to the cities within the rebel lines.
! Complaints are also made OF the impossi-
bility of procuring winter clothing for the
troops. The scarcity Of shoes is particular
ly dwelt upon; and, under CHASTITY atfec-
tation of confidence as to future military
events, there is distinctly apparent thro'-
out the Southern press tone ofthe most
dismal dependency.
jeff. Davis has extended his western tour
to the extreme limits of his dominions, ma
king at many points speeches not charac-
terzed by any particular vigor of thought
or felicity Of expression. Several of them.
indeed, have been very severely criticised,
not to say bitterly denounced. His appear
ance in Bragg's army, with Gen. Pember-
ton as travelling companion, and the Occa-
sion which he took to endorse Gen. Bragg
as a hero, and refer to the remarks dlsre-
spectful of him rs malicious, have serious
| ly discomposed the Southern mind and not
| a little eXasperated number of the lead
| ing journalists, who have accounted for
his military misfortunes on the theory
of his incompetency. In speech in Ala
| bama, addressed to the remnant of regi-
ment of Missourians, Mr.. Davis concluded
by expressing hope that they would live
to see the flag they carried, recognized, as
among the national standards honored
throughout he earth. The Richmond
Wing takes occasion to inform him that he

self is discoverable, not in any admission
of losses and disaster, but in the promises
he makes for the future, the unseemly ex-
|
rant Of those to whom they are addressed,
cannot fail to recognize. 1t is worthy of
remark that the present tour of Mr.. Davis
is by no means so extensive as that in which
he INDUCED, somewhat less than a year
since, when he travelled over the Great
Virginia Railroad. through Lynchburg and
Knoxville, to Chattanooga; thence to Muir
freesboro, and returning to the present
headquarters of Gen. Grant, proceeded to
Vicksburg, where he announced that upon
the successful holding of that point was
suspended the fate of the Confederacy-a
fact of which his Southern fatterers do not
at this time consider it polite to remind
