Famine as a War Power.

Every mail from the interior OF Rebel
dom brings sad intelligence of the fearful
privaiions to which the people are subjected
by the obdurate conspirators of their ruin.
Gaunt and hollow-eyed famine is stalking
everywhere in that unhappy country
We have already referred (says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer) to the accounts from Ar
kansas and Texas. where the distress 10 30
great that it must be seen to be understood;
AMI from fredericksburg. where families
lately in affluent circumstances are starving
in hosts; and from North Alabama and
Tennessee. and from Georgia, where Gov
ernor Brown has summoned the Legisla-
turs to consider the subject in sxtraordin-
airy session. Everywhers the wall is COM
ing up for food. The recent news from
the south adds to the sorrowful burden
1t is the staple subject Of comment with
the whole Sou thern press. The Alabama
Senators and msmbers Of Congress appeal
to their constituents to plant corn and raise
hogs. The Montgomery Advertiser has
an official call from the commissary there
for food AMI supplies Of bacon for which
he offers fifty cents . pound In East Ten

Knoxville was held at ffty-fvs dollars .

the price of "Confsdsrate'' scrip. Whist il
must cost for barrel Of -four now can
only be imagined. So it goes everywhere.
All this was long ago forstola. bat the
warning was s:offed at and dsrided. The
Southern people never raised sufficient for
their own wants. They were dependent
on the grain-growing and cattle grazing
States Of the West They were always
year ahead OF their income and resources.
But all that wss TO be cured by rspudiation
Of their debts and BY planting corn instead
of sugar. cotton and tobacco. It is true
that the cotton, susw and tobacco crops
are mainly abandoned. but on millions of
acres where there oucs grew in luxriancs,
there are no harvests ofgolden corn staad-
ing in their places. The ground that has
been lost to the Southern staple has been
for the greater psrt Lost, also. to sgrisul:

the once fruitful fields, and il il in his
footstsps that famine stalks along. sw

that the rebel journals rsaliss the inpsnd-
ing crisis. II is because Of this that We
