SCARCITY OF SUPPLIES.

The South is really menaced by one serious
danger only and that is the failure of adequate
subsistence. While superhuous abundance ex :
lists in many considerable districts of the Con-
federacy, it cannot be denied that in those in
which there is much the heaviest consumption of
food, including Virginia, most serious search
ty prevails. This scarcity is not only felt in the
cities, towns and villages, but throughout the in
teriour country. There are many farmers in
Western Virginia who could spare largely from
their boarded stores for the general want; but
1t is fact notorious, which it were idle to de-
ny, that considerable proportion of the pro-
ducng population of Virginia are stinted for the
necessaries of life.
rye should be pleased to know where these
tsmany farmers in Western Virginia who could
spare largely from their boarded stores" live.
They do not live in this part of ssWestern Vir-
ginia. ''-ED. sPEcTAToR.1
AS long as two months ago the county of
Charlotte, in region unoccupied by any army,
took measures to obtain supply of grain for the
consumption of its inhabitants from the far South;
and if this be the case on the South side, mag
inc what it must be in regions suffering from the
presence of armies where, first, producers vol
UNFAIRLY sold to Government what they could
spare whele, second, moiety of what was
left has been impressed by foraging parties sent
out from the armies and where, third, much
of the re sidue has disappeared under the pill
fering and robberies of struggling soldiers, over
whom no discipline seems to be exerted.

THE STRIPED PFC.

Now that the first day of May has
arrived, froal which day, by act OF the
Legislature, no liquors arc 10 be sold,
with license, within aay town or at any
railroad STATEN or within five miles
thereof, we suppose that thirsty imbi-
bers of the ardent will be anxious TO
witness the exhibition of that latsus
nature, yclept the striped Pig
This animal, there is TO doubt, will be
kpet Tor exhibition for the special delec-
tation OF those who, in spite OF the law,
would like to partake of a "wee Bit OF
the exhilarant. 1t is an animal which
breads tho light and has a natural re-
pugnaace to cleanliness, and will, there.
fore, be found only in dark corners aid
dirty alleys. 1t can be found by watch.
ing the direction which most of the men
with red eyes and noses travel, as the
bee tree is found by noticing the di-
reetion of the fight OF the bees. We
would caution persons not to visit this
animal too frequently for its breath is
poisonous and destroys both health and
character.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1864-05-03

We think it must now be evident,
says the Richmond Dispatch. even
to the warnest advocates of an ex-
tension of the Conscript law, that it
would have been better to leave boys
of seventeen and men between IS and
so ont of the army, to cultivate the
fruits of the earth. We need an army
of producers quite as much as of fight
ing men, and are in mora danger from
diminution of producers than from the
enemy in our front. It is to be hoped
that the earliest attention of Congress
will be given to this important subject
The enemy has made no such increase
of his forces as demanded the extraor-
binary increase of our army. On the
contrary, he gives signs of debility and
exhaustion, and muet place his main re-
lance for bringing us to terms of peace
by starving US out. He must see by
this time that he can conquer us in no
other way and, if we are wise, we
shall use all the instrumentalities with
in human power to prevent that deplo-
rable result. With the blessing of God
on our agricultural industry, we can de-
.prive our adyersaries of their last hope.
But to do this we must bestir ourselves,
and enlist in the army of production
every man under eighteen and over
forty-iYe.

ExEMPTING FARMERS.

Having urged the policy of granting
details literally to producers ofsupplies,
we are pleased to find that some Of the
journals of the State which have hereto
fore insisted on the policy of putting ey-
cry able bodied man in the army, now
see the propriety of granting details to
farmers. In reference to exelnpting
farmers, the Lynchburg Republican
says
ssWfe learn that the Advisory Board now sit
ting in Lynchburg TO aid the Enrolling Officer in
enquiring into applications for exemption and
detail, not specially provided for by law, are
very liberal in their action towards persons who
make application for exemption as farmers
This course of the board IL just and proper, 1t
is useless to have an army unless we raise the
necessary provisions to feed it, and the great
danger with us is, not ,the want of soldiers for
of them we have enough, but the want of sup
plies, of which it must be admitted, we stand
much in need. We trust, then, that every Ad-
yisory Board in the country will regard the
farming interest as of paramount Importance and
exhibit towards it the same liberality the Camp
bell board is doing.'

Socks for Soldiers.


The Sentinel says that the ladies of
the Soldiers Aid Society of Albemarle
county, (of which Miss Mary Randolph
is President since the first of Docem-
Der last, have had wool carded and spun,
and nine hundred pairs of socks knit
for the Government; and, in addition,
have given away two hundred pairs of
their own. The ladies of Aibemarle,
it will be seen, are not behind their fair
sisters IN other counties, in deeds of
love and kindness to the brave men who
have taken their lives in their hands
and gone to the fields of battle to de-
fend the homes and tiresides of the peo-
pie. The Society above referred to
have not only furnished socks to the
soldiers, but they have also given
and sold to different portions of the ar
my quite a large quantity Of other use
ful clothing.

Meeting T0-night.

We noticed last week that a meeting
would be held in the Court House to-
night for the purpose of organizing an
Association in aid of the one established
in Richmond for the benefit of manned
soldiers. 1t is hoped that the meeting
will be we'll attended, and that many
ladies will grace the occasion with their
presence. 1t is hoped that Associations
for the same purpose will be established
in every neighborhood in the county
We believe that Augusta county viii
do as much as any county in the State
to furnish artificial arms and legs to the
brave soldiers who have been manned
in the military service of the country.
We understand that Rev. j. L.. SIRE
WALT has collected as much as $4,000
in the counties of Rockingham, Shen-
endoah and Page. These counties have
donc we'll, but we cherish the belief that,
if Associations be formed in every neigh
borhood as We think should be done,
mis- county will contribute more than
all three of these counties. We hope
that the proper kind OF an Association
will be organized in Stanton that it
may be model for those in the differ
cnt villages and neighborhoods of the
county. Form the Associations will
out delay, and appoint good committees
to wait upon the people. The most CT
fcicnt committees for such purposes are
those composed of ladies. There are
now in the Contederacy 10000 manned
soldiers, and may be nearly as MANY
more before this " cruel war will be
over. What sublime spectacle it
would present to see all these manned
soldiers supplied with limbs by gener-
Gus, voluntary contributions. The page
Of our history which would contain the
record Of this fact would be among the
brightestin the whole volume-it would
be one which even angels could reed
with pleasure. This page will be writ
ten, and the name of this noble county
will be found upon it. Augusta will
not be excelled by other counties in
deeds of generosity, liberality and hui
1nanity to the noble soldiers who have
sacrificed their limbs in the service of
their country.

The battles IN Louisiana.

In reference to the operations West
of the Mississippi the enemy, says
the ssSentinel," now admit, officially and
otherwise, disaster to their forces at
Mansfield, on the 8th, In which two
divisions of their army were terribly
routed, and fed in confusion and with
heavy loss. But they claim to have
retrieved their fortunes on thenext day,
the 9th, at Pleasant Hill, to which the
army fell back from Mansfield, after
the defeat at that point.
Mansfield is about half way between
Natchitoches and Shreveport. Pleas
ant Hill, by the map, is about twenty
miles this side of Mansfield. 1.-THE en-
envy were routed at Mansfield on the Sth,
and attacked again at Pleasant ELL on
the 9th, it would indicate very rapid
flight, and an equally vigorous pursuit,
in the interim. Banks must have tray.
eled as he did when Jackson was after
him, and Kirby Smith must fall heir to
the foot cavalry. We think the best
face the affairs will be found to wear
for the enemy is about as follows =
Our cavalry, after pursuing Banks beat
en- army for twenty miles or more,
received a check az Pleasant Hill,
which, for want of something better,
must be called victory. So rapid a
retreat, coupled with the admissions of
the enemy, gives assurance of great
disaster to the invaders.
