SCARCITY IN REBELDoM.-A c0nJfrn1G-
tioR.-The Norfolk Union publishes some
letters taken on the underground route
from Richmond to the secesh in Baltimore
One of these, directed to Jos. W. JENKINS
ST., Baltimore, contains the following:
The only real cause of apprehension
now, is the scarcity of provisions; so
much of orr fair land has been desolated
by those God-forsaken wretches; orr
houses burned, our slaves stolen, every
thing destroyed, that there are grave rea-
sons for experimenting scarcity of bread
stutfs. Already prices are frightfully high,
with an upward tendency. We must
only hope and pray. We have cheertully
given up all luxuries, and If it comes to
the worst will not murmur; for already
our troops are in many instances on halt
rations, still they were hearty and cheer
ful. My brother wrote me word the other
day that he had not had morsel of meat
that he could eat, in g month had heen
living on biscuit a triie musty, but was
we'll as ever, and ready for the coming
fray His regiment now guards q. :.
