oners who have arrived at Washington from Rich
mond on Friday, make interesting statements con-
eerning the condition of affairs in the rebel con-
federacy. We quote from statement in the
New York Herald:
ssThey represent that they were most cruelty
treated and suffered everything but death. The
rebels treat citizen prisoners much worse than
they do prisoners of war. They were supplied
with barely sufficient food to sustain life and that
of the worst possible quality. Latterly, those in
Richmond have not been allowed to purchase any
thing-not even loaf OF bread. Provisions are
very scarce and held atfabulous prices. Prices are
Systematically understated by the rebel papers.
Flour is now selling at Richmond at forty to fifty
dollars per barrel, although quoted in the Rich
mond papers at twenty:eight dollars and half;
sweet potatoes, eight dollars per peck; eggs two
dollars per dozen and other articles in proportion
In Mobile, -four is selling at sevcnty-fivc to eighty
dollars per barrel. The poorer Glasses in Rich
mond arc in a starving condition, ard there have
been a number of cases ofaotual starvation among
them from inability to obtain the necessarieS CT
life. Society throughout the confederacy is fear
fully demoralizrd.
The utmost rigor and cruelty is exercised to
keep the soldiers in the army. Soldiers absenting
themselves from camps without leave are tried by
court martial and punished by from twenty to one
hundred lashes according to the number of days
they are gone. Desartcrs are frequently shot as
examples to deter the soldiers from deserting.
Although the rebels generally pretend to have
undiminished confidence III their ultimate success,
yet the more intelligent among them are evident
ly becoming discouraged. Unless the next crop
should be an average one, or if by the capture Of
Vicksburg and Port Hudson they would be cut of
from the supplies whch they have hitherto recciv-
ed from Texas, they know that they cannot con-
tinue the contest, but must be starved into Sub
mission
These released prisoners state that all that buoys
the rebels up now is the aid and Comfort which
they receive from the demonstrations of the COP
perheads, and the belief, that the Northwest is
tired of the war, and will soon refuse to contrib
ute aid to its prosecution. If once convinced OF
The f,lsty of this belief, the rebel gov,r rnment
could not long hold their army together. There
is still considerable Unian feeling in the South.
In North Carolina the Union men are in the ma;
jority, and the expulsion Of the rebel forces from
that State wouli be joyfnlly REGARDED BY u maori
tv of the citizens of the State, who would gladly
return to the protection Of the Union"

4 Coon SPIRIr.-A soldier in the army OF the
Potomac relates to US an instance in which he
suffered his anger to get the better Of him, and he
had to apay for it, He ROW remarks that 1t was
"s good lesson for him, teaching him cententmsnt
strict attention to duty when in camp, and trying
10 save the government from useless expense"
And he adds 'knowing that
''Jowards die many times before their death.
.'The brave taste OF death but once"
/ will jog along, praying for success to cur arms
and speedy termination of the war; and if not
ended when my time is up, Gov. Andrew can mark
me down good for another enlistment from the
old Bay stare" The writer is patriot and
hero, and deserves promotion at thr hands Of the
government.

Stuart's cavalry near Mitchell's Station,
three miles northwest of Culpepper.
Best of the army quiet.
We now hold all the ground in Cul.

Rebel soldiers are we'll fed, for through
the new winter camps on the south side
of the Rappahannock our advance guard
found scattered about numerous tin cans,
once filed with prepared meats and veg
e.ables, and were interested to find on
them Baltimore and New York labels.
Lees troops are hard up for shoes,
clothing, &c.
Lees purpose to winter between the
Rappahannock and Rapidan is further
proved by their preservation of the rail.
road connecting the two rivers; but the
rebels, in their retreat across the Rapidan,
destroyed the railroad bridge which spans
that stream.
Geu. Hammond is wholly exonerated
from the charge of malfeasance in office
and will soon resume charge of the medi-
cal department of the army.
(Herald's Special
Affairs at the front remain unchanged.
The rebels are strongly posted ON the
Rapidan, evidently awaiting an advance
of our forces.
Advices from Pensacola state the fe.

failed to recover. The marine guard lost
ono Lieutenant and twenty-three pri-
Yates.

November 12. '63.
A few shots ware sent after body OF
rebel scouts yesterday to the left of Gull

There is no truth in the report that Lee
has left the Army of Northern Virginia.
He occupied the camping ground which
was our headquarters on Tuesday, near
Brandy Station. Citizens here saw and
conversed with him. Several documents
addressed to him were also found
A cavalry reconnaissance was made to
within few miles of Madison C. H. No
live rebels found, but bodies of dead ones
killed by Fitzpatrick in his late advance
upon that village, lay upon the ground
where they fell!
Clarkes Mountains are again occupied
as rebel signal stations, and nearly every
movement of Meade along his entire front
can be clearly seen from these natural
lookouts.
The rebel earthworks at Barrett's. Rap.
palannock and Germans fords, thrown
up in August, are being enlarged and
strengthened, and a line of rifle pits ex-
tend further up the hills.
1t is thought hardly possible that Gen.
Meade will attack their stronghold in
front.
