FROM THE POTOMAC ARMY.

The following from q private letter from
the Army Of the Potomac, to one Of our
editorial eagPs, will be Of interest and is
noi contraband
The Wilderness comes nearer dark and
impenetrsble wilderness than any place l
ever sew. What is remarkable about 1t
too, is the fact that the whole ares now
com prising the memorable wilderness was
at one time an extensive plantation, which
was cultivated until worn out and then
abandoned 70 the growth Of Norway pines,
that have now attained an average height
OF about thirty feet, but so close together
and bushy that no objec is visible twenty
five yards of. The famous old negro shan
ties rotten fences are yet quite distin-
guishable. went over Hooker's battle
field Of a yesr ego, which is literally
strewn with human bones, skulls, blown
up csissous, broken carriage, ;, and all the
innumersble indications Of a fierce strug-
gle.
Since we crossed the Rspidan there
has not been an hour in Daylight free from
firing, and it frequently continued far in.
to the night. Thus are we kept on the
tip toe, constantly. There are no IDLE
days. Either Lee or Grant move secretly
to the right or left during the night attack
ing the fsnks with terrible force, bat so
far, these movements have accomplished
little good I never saw soldiers in finer
spirits, so determined to conquer, and so
impatient to be led forward. Neither did
ever see, in the Western army, infantry
stand so long and steady under . clese
muhketry FIRE as these men do. You have
mott yet heard TT tn fully. The magnitude
of these series OF battles, will ven
ture to say will eclipse any OF Europe's
most celebrated battle fields.
There are very few regiments here from
Ohio and none from Northern Ohio, ex-
cept the 9Th regiment and A's' battery.
The 9th suffered severely in some Of the
early engsgements- Twill sendyou his

An Appeal to the People Of the Confeasrats
Stafea,
From the Richmond sentinel.l


From the Richmond sentinel.l
The directors of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association Of Richmond respectfully,
but earnestly, submit to the benevolent
and the patriotic thro lghout the Confeder-
ate States an sppesl in behalf Of the sol
diers' families in this city. Since the com
meucemeDt of the war, Richmond has been
refuge for those who have been driven
from their homes by our ruthless enemies.
Thousands Of helpless women and children,
not from the devastated counties Of Vir-
ginia alone, but from nearly every State
Of the Confederacy, have sought an asylum
in our midst Our citizens have been sp-
pealed 10 in numberless instances 10 re-
lieVe the sick and wounded soldiers, to
furnish shoes and clothing for soldiers in
the field and to afford food and shelter for
their suffering families, and nobly have
they, in the great msjOrity Of instances.
responded to every appeal.
The supplies Of provisions in the city ct
this time are so reduced, and the difficulty
of obtaining others by ordinary means so
numerous ana great, that the funds con-
tribgted for the relief Of the poor can &C.
complish but little in procuring the neces-
sities Of life
Ia written report from the Clothing
Bureau, it appears that there are more
than three thousand families in this city
who are seeking employment from the
Government in vain, and ths those who
obtain work are not fully employed. The
wages received for their work will not en-
able these poor women 10 procure sufi
cheney Of the plsinest food for themselves
and children. Without assistance, then,
from the city and country generally,
many instances Of aotnai starsation must
have occurred. Our City Council have
made most liberal appropriations for the
purchase Ofsupplies, both for the gratuit-
GUS distribution and fer sale st cost but
the agents employed for the purpose have
not been able to procure the quantity Of
provisions required.
Under these circumstances, we feel it is
our duty to appeal TO our fellow citizens
throughout he Confederate States to for
ward without delay contributions Of mon
ey and supplies to the Army Committee of
this association Since the commencement
Of the war, this committee has labored
zeslously and faithfully for the temporal
and spiritual Welfsre Of our soldiers and
their families, and for the success Of our
glorious cause. Let those soldiers not be
discouraged now, upon the eve Of our sew
crest, and, IS We trust, our last and most
glorious campaign, for want OF the gener-
GUS sympathy and support Of their friends
81 home.

mails would mot have suffered a similar

nails would not have suffered a similar
penalty, is very unreasonable.
It must be said, however, that the ante
oedents Of the World we're not favorable
for establishing its innocence. Since the
movement Of Grant begsn, it hsd already
published several sensational articles Of
damaging character. Its character does
not by any means allow the idea to be en-
iertained that the World would not have
published such q hoax knowingly. The
government, undoubtedly, considered these
facts in continuing the suppression Of the
World from 81 o'clock on Thursday night
until Saturday.
The order was therefore in force long
enough to prevent the issue Of The World
for three days.
The lesson impressed upon the press
generally by this affair, is that responsible
attaches to them. There is no doubt but
that come of the New York papers, in their
eagerness for detailed news, commit many
indiscrstiOns. They publish concerning
our army, its movements snd position,
whai never wO Id appear in the Richmond
papers concerning the rebel army.
We shall undoubtedly have another
long copperhesd howl about the freedom
o. the press, which, with them, too often
means the utmost license to abuse and
villify.
No better evidence Of the comparative
humanity empl, yed toward the press at the
present time, is the very fact that such
sheets SIS the New York World and News
and their kindred COpperheads through
out the country, are allowed to bO printed
In any Other country, they would have
been suppressed loug ago. 1t is only the
great liberty the Press enjoys, that allows
the republication of the world.

This is the question put by the Tribune
to the beef eaters Of New York City. Il
claims that there is an abomnible gsng
Of speculstOrs at work in New York, by
whom beef is run up to such appalling
figures The system by which beef is run
up is thus described:
1t well known that New York prices
control all the other markets in the coun-
try, and it should be we'll known T. at the
system upon which business is transacted
in the New York Cattle Market enables
the owners and sellers Of cattle to control
the butchers. The people will have beef.
The butchers must provide for his custo
mers. He buys his cattle on credit and he
sells his beef on credit. Buying it on cred
it, he is ct the mercy of the cattle broker,
Who receives the stock for the shipper,
droVsT, or speeulator, who has bought Il
while in trsnsitu, and sells it for B COM
mission OF 81 90 head, on credit to the
butcher, who is three or four weeks behind,
and must buy this week, or else he can not
pay for 8 previous week. BE hss the
choice-to psy whstever is asked, or be
ruined. as things 60 on now, all will be
ruined unless the people come TO their aid,
snd for two weeks stop the consumption
Of beef. The speculstOrs will not be CON
tented to step The advance until it reaches
25 cents pound for the net weight Of cat
tle on foot.
Tho remedy is to est no beef, buy no
beef, until the price Of beef is brought
down. Butchers and cattle dealers must
all be brought low by the refusal ofthe
people to eat or buy beef so long as such
fearful prices are charged.
