Prices Of Food in Richn M ond.

Barbarous as the conduct is, it is not
so much matter of marvel that the reb.
ell authorities in Richmond let Our prS
oners suffer for food when the scarcity
and prices of every thing eatable are
taken into account. Richmond papers
of the 18th inst state that the bakers
have raised the price of their loaves--
generally estimated at a pound, but fall"
ing below it--from rs to so cts. apiece;
and that several bakeries have discon-
tinued baking for sale at the counter,
and only supply dealers, mostly army
suffers. Flour arrives slowly, and no
wheat coming in, Wheat would readily
command $50 per bushel. Corn is quo.
ted at $l5. Butter firm at 1915, and
cheese at 50 to $3.50. Beef selling q,
10 to Is cents per pound for the fort
quarter, and so to IS cents for the hind
Mutton IS cents pound. .,

borrowed $5O;OOO, 1000 Of tie banks at
six per cent, to be returned in five per

he pays the banks $5OO,OOO interest
money; but he has only drawn $40, ,0O0.~
900 of the money. He has, therefore,
paid for that monsy at the rate of Is

An0thtr specimen OF Yankees f.1
the Negro.
The annexed extract from Federal account of their
late raid on Tarboro', n. g.. is another Illustration
of the great love they have for what they term the
negro:
The order to apply the torch to the Tarboro bridge
so as to prevent the advance OF the enemy from the op
poslte side upon executed little too SOON
A large number of contrabands bad just got over ;
many were still on the bridge, and many were on the
other side, all eager to join column and flee from
their masters In Dixie to their Worshipers among the
ankees. Some Of men were also on the ether
SIDE but with few exceptions they contrved to make
their escape When the burning bridge FELL it is feared
carried into the stream below, consumed in the
vain effort to eytrcate themselves between FIVE and six
hundred poor fanatic negroes.
Everything thus far proves that the Southern slave
fares poorly when he gets into their hands The great
love the Federal has for him appears to be death by
Vatlon or cruel treatment. Ali negroes carried of
by the Yankees and who have managed to get back to
Dixie complain of the way in which they were abused
when North.
