what a Refugee Says.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC,
April ia refugee, who left Richmond
last Tuesday, has arrived in our, lines
The bread riot in that city was witnessed
by him and caused the greatest consterna-
ton among the authorities. The women
were the heads of families of the working
classes. and were actually starving, many
having been compelled to beg on the
streets. A demonstration was feared and
every precaution was being taken to avert
the effect upon the troops, who were very
much demoralized; the men being very
clamorous and demanding that their fami-
lies should be fed.
Reinforcements are hurried up to Fred
ericksburg as rapidly as possible, most OF
them being conscripts and convalescents.-
Several divisions are encamped about
Richmond, one of which started of In great
haste at one time and visited Culpepper,
but returned again in few days.
Work has been suspended upon the forts
around Richmond, their impregnablllty
being considered certain.
Earthworks are being thrown up along
Rapidan River, but the force in that vicin-
lty are composed chiefly of cavalry.
Two gunboats Gron-clads) are afloat in
James River. The Virginia lies down near
Drury's Bluff and has made attempts to
pass the obstrucions, but failed. The third
is unfinished, but rapidly approaching COM

General Halleck The following dispstch
ives received from Gen. Granger on the
10th: Van Dorm made his promised attack
to-day at o'clock, directly in front and on
the town. The infantry regiments on
guard in town, with the Cavalry pickets,
held him at bay till their ammunition was
expended. The dense smoke, &C., favored
their operations, enabling them to approach
very near, without our being able to OBJ
serve them. Our siege guns and light bat
teries opened with murderous effect, liter
ally strewing the ground with men and
horses. ordered Stanley four miles out
On the Murfreesboro' road. He at once
crossed his forces over at Heights Mills
and vigorously attacked Forests divi-
sions, moving down on the Leesburg Pike,
capturing 6 pieces of artillery and some
200 prisoners, but owing to the unfavorable
nature of the country was unable to hold
them, being attacked by greatly superior
numbers, outfianked and nearly surround
ed. Our loss in killed, wounded and pris-
Oners is less than 100, while the enemy's
cannot be less than three times that num-
ber. They were repulsed on all sides and
driven until darkness prevented the pur-
suit. Capt. Mcintyre, of the 4th Regulars,
took the battery and prisoners, bringing in
thirty odd of the latter.

q thing is pro bable, how can the South feed
The Northern and Southern armies and her
own people? Ifthey succeed in cutting off
the supply Of beef from Texas, and destroy
crops aud dernoralize the slaves as far as
their armies extend their operations, what
VIII be the condition of the South another
winter if the planters and cultivators of the
soil inside Of the Confederate lines do not
apply their entire energies and labor to the
raising OF breadstufis and provisions?
We learn that in some parts Of Texas and
louisiana cotton planters, carried away
with the hope Of selling their cotton after
the war for fifty or seventy-five cents per
pound, are making arrangements to make
all the cotton they possibly can, and are
paying but little attention to corn. If such
a spirit should prevail extensively, the
South will yet see such suffering as she has
never yet seen before. We may as well
look these facts fairly in the face.

INCIDENT AT CoPPERHEAD MEETING.
On Saturday last copperhead pow-wow
was held in the UniversaliSt Church, at
Forrisburg, Union County. It was attend
ed by about one hundred and fifty copper
heads. One Charles Austin addressed the
meeting. He was understoodto have prevl-
ously said in u bar-room, that he was dis
loyal" to the Administration, and didn't
care who knew it; that he would resist the
draft that if his arrest was attempted ne
would bushwack, and if arrested it would
require two men to watch him. John A..
Wood, of Co. ], 12lstO. V.-who distinguish
ed himself at Perryville, advancing some
seventy-tive yards in front OF his regiment,
and firing some sixty or seventy rounds at
the enemy-called upon Austin to explain
what he said, which was done, but not TO
Woods satisfaction.
When Austin had concluded; foolish
fellow named Franklin got up, declared in
old convention style that he was Demo
crat. and he was down on the President,
who was not fit for bis place and was
black Abolitionist. This stirred Woods s
anger, especially as there were cries of put
the black Abolitionist s. of a b. out of the
house." and coolly informed them that he
was not to be put out by any set of butter
nuts. An old man named Jenkins,
Richard Hoskins, Peter Gray and others,
stripped off their coats and made pugiistic
demonstrations. One or two Union men
interfered in Wood behalf, but were rough
ly handled, and left the house. Wood took
refuge in the pulpit, and as something had
been said by butternut about arms, drew
his revolver, and made q successful defense,
having the pulpit for his fortification. The
hutternuts danced and howled around him,
hut none undertook to storm the defenses,
though they offered to fight him if he would
Law down his arms and come out of the
church. The affair ended in an adjourn

REBEL, SENTIMENT IN WESTERN LOUIS
IANA-GRoANs OVER CoNsCRIPTIoN-AP-
PREHENSIOMS OF FAMINE.-The Planter s
Banner, published at Franklin, La, the
headquarters of Gen. Sibley, is not at all
cheerful. Its views of Gov. Moore and his
conscription plan are thus boldly ex-
pressed:
Gov. Moore appears to be perfect STUN
bling block to the State. All that he did
toward the defense of New Orleans was
thrown away-he was always little too
slow, or halted at expenses, on the ''penny-
wise and pound foolish plan-he disband-
ed our militia a few days before our defeat
on the Lafourche, and now he wishes to
take all the planters, overseers, gardeners,
physicians, teachers, and every other use
full man that he can reach in the State, put
them into camp to starve, or suffer for want
of materials which he cannot furnish, and
leave plantations, negroes and the country
at large to take care Of themselves, and
probably when most wanted, and he has
done all the harm he can, he will be likely
to take notion to disband them al, and
send them home. His principal object ap-
pears to be to protect Red river and his
plantations there-the lower part of the
State he cares but little about. We would
be glad to see Kirby Smith, or somebody
else, abolish him as military necessity
If he has done the State any good for the
AdsG 40 HlOutIlS, we NdRo uOI ySL lctAIu0O INC
particulars.
No inconsiderable portion Of the Banner
is devoted to the discussion of the dark
prospects Of the South, and the expression
OF fears of famine. 1t says:
From the beginning ofthe civil war which
now RACES with such ferocity in the country
the South has been passing through alter
nate bright and dark periods. Hopes and
tears, sunshine and storm, veal and woe,
have succeeded each other as though order
ed by Providence as Heavens programme
OF the revolution. Let no one fancy the
South has seen her last dark period. The
next part Of the programme may be famine
ana Its horrid accompaniments. The enc
my are now at work endeavoring to pro-
duce these results. Too many of our plan
ters sleep on the brink of the yawning
preclpice before them. The enemy are
stealing all of the field hands they can from
inside of the Confederate lines, and are
pushing their armies to cover as much of
the bread growing regions of the South as
possible. Then they will attempt to cut of
the beef trade of Texas. Why will not
every planter in the country open his eyes
to these facts, and do all in his power to in
crease the supply of corn and provisions,
and help to avert the evil that is now
threatening us? We fear that we are about
entering upon terribly dark period of our
national existence. The opposition to the
Lincoln Administration at the North can
not avert the calamity. The planters OF
the South, aided by Providence, may save
US. -.y

UNION MEN OF THE SoUTH.-The Vicks-
burg correspondent Of the Cincinnati, Gas-
ette in q letter of April 4th., speaking of the
narrow escape ofthe Yazoo expedition, thus
indicates the important services rendered
by the negroes:
AS on all other occasions that have
seen since the first campaigning in Missis-
slppi, the negro has been our best friend
be comes at the peril of his life again and
again TO warn US of:danger;, he risks his
life with the most heroic self-sacrifice, to
help US, in his humble way, out of difficult
ties, and he testifies in q thousand ways
his devotion to the cause, which his heart
tells him vaguely, though it be) is associ-
ated in some way with the cherished OBJ
ject of his poor, despised ife-liberty, hui
man liberty. When the rebels conceived
the successful plan of telling timber to i'm
pede the progress of their gunboats, and cut
off their retreat negroes warned the officers
of the design, and although they were used
to execute it, under the persuasive elo-
.quence of loaded muskets, they fed every
possible opportunity, and coming aboard
our vessels, proffered to clear the stream of
the trees if the gunboats would only pro-
tect them in the work, and take them away
when it was done.
But for their assistance the entire expe-
dition would have been completely hem
iediin, captured or destroyed.
This is simple fact, and it is but fair
to "render unto Cesar the things that are
CRsar's."
