Great Dinner at the Lihhv.

From the Richmond Exanner, Dee 81
The Yankee officers at the Libby Prison will,
we understand, celebrate their captivity the pre-
sent week by a splendid dinner, served up on
the table dhots of the prison, aud embracing II
bill Of fare uuequalled in Richmond or the
South since this cruel war commenced. The
viands for this recherche - reunion" have been
put up at the North expressly for the great oc-
cason, and arc now being received by every
Gag ot-ruce steamer. New York, Philadelphia
aud Baltimore are vieing with each other IN
their lavish Of money and the richness and cg-
tent Of their gastrononc contributions. The
Confederate authorities have kindly seconded
the generous movement, and will act Us chief
cook and bottle washer on the stupendous oc-
casion. few outside invitations have be en-
extended TO the clean aud hungry" Richmond
officials not including the Commissioner OF Ex-
change, the Cummandant of the Libby Prison
post, the President, Members of Congress, and
the Cabinet.
Brigadiers General Neal Dow will preside at
the head, and Colonel Strrigbt at the foot of the
table.
After the "rcmoyal of the CLOTH" toasts,
wit and sentiment-all at the expense of the
Confederacy-will he the order of tho day.
We have been favored with glance of an adj
vance proof Of the bill of fare, and print It's
items, notwithstanding we aio sure it will ag-
gravate the feelings OF our soldiers IN the field,
anu the feelings Of Confederate prisoners North,
when they compare this sumptuous living with
their own poor and scanty fare.
Among the epicurean viands named in the
bill is sugar cured ham, spiced beef, round of
beef, beef tongue, chickens, oysters ia cans.
picked lripes, ditto tomatoes, peaches, mar
malade, soda crackers, cheese, potatoes,
onions" caLbages, butter, lemons, extract
coffee. condensed milk, chocolate. apples pre-
served peaches, preserved ounce, pouud-cake,
fruit cake, wine cordials, and variety Of Gu
tress, side Dishes ETC.
Each consignment from the North, and de-
signed for the feast is put up Ia Fulton, stamp
ed with his signet seal, 90. g. F." and di.-
tinctly marked "From the Office Relief Fuud1,
of the baltimore american" So there can 81
no mistake As 10 whom we are indebted IL any
crumbs Of the feast should fall to our lot
We understand the fragments of the feast. if
any are left, have been generously rendered to
the poor of Richmond, who are suffering from
the effects of the rigid blockade enforced BY the
Lincoln Government. This is exceedingly gene
rous in our prisoner-guesst fer which we arc
profoundly grateful.
