CHEAP BREAD.-We are authorized to announce
that by order of the military authorities, the
missares Of subsistence of the United States army
in this city will begin to-day to issue to all citizens
bread at six and quarter cents per loaf of Is
ounces. The humanity of this move prompted by
the consider ate thoughttuness of the military au-
thurtieS, cannot be over estimated. There are
kU-day thousands of our citizens, male and female,
but chiefly the latter, who, living in unwilling but
Unavoidable idleness, are without the means of
Subsistence. Over FIVE thousand of these persons,
temaes, up to the time Of the evacuation, earned,
y making soldiers clothing, scanty livelihood,
ied out by such supplies the citizens relief c9m-
Aittee could furnish. During the last three weeks
iany of them must have persisted but for the relief
Apportunely and paternally afforded them by the .
ktates authorities. This distribution of bread al
liz nominal price of six and quarter cents is the
trowning act of the benefcence of the authorize.
nader whom we live, for while 1t holds out an in
kcement to industry, and to that extent avoids
invariable demorazing effects of the gra utoul
ztribution of food, it places the means of sub

OPENING OF F1RE-PRooF SAPEs-Tbe safe be-
longing to the Va. Fire & Marine Insurance Co.,
whose office, under the American Hotel, was de-
stroyed in the late cOndagration, was opened on
Saturday by the officers of the Company, when the
books and papers of the office were found to be in
a perfect state of preservation. A small glass
pitcher which happened to be put into the safe on
the day of the fire, was also found whole and I'M
harmed This was Gaylor safe, very few of which
we're ever made, the manufacturer being run out
of the market by cheaper articles. That the safe
may not receive more credit than it is fairly ent-
tied to, it may be proper to state that it partly
built into the wall, which must have afforded it
considerable protection.
On the same day the Herring Safe of Messrs
Kent, Paine & Co. was opened, and all the books
and papers found to be so charred as to be worth
less. This safe was not built into a wall and was
subecte to a severer test than perhaps any other
in the city, the warehouse in which it was located
being crowded with goods, mostly of very infiam-
mable character.

The BLUE RIDGE RAnnoAD.-Common
rumor, which flourishes in times Of trouble
and apprehension, asserts with great assu-
rance, that the trains on the Blue Ridge
Railroad are soon to be discontinued, and
the rolling stock sold. If the reports we
hear on this subject are true, we think it
due to the public that the fact should be
made known. And why it is, that a road,
thirty odd miles in length, cannot pay ex.
penses? Perhaps the Direction of the road
can enlightcn the public on this subject.

are, should not be increased by the de-

intervie" with the Secretary Of War today
and received from him copy of the order
addressed to the tax commissioners, say

all lands of whatever character and descrip-
ton, and therefore directing the commits
sloHcrs to rcstpono indefinitely such sales

There Is persistent speculation among
our citizens, who arc nearly all politicians
to greater or less degree, as to the views
OF the President at this time concerning
the Southern States. Doubtless he has
been deeply disappointed in the failure of
some OF them to come up fully and prompt
", without reservation, to what he desired
them to do, to the end that the confidence
they should repose in him would challenge
the admiration of the Northern people and
elicit the support Of their representatives
for his policy. When his requirements are
complied with in letter and spirit by ap-
propriate action, he will doubtless observe
ferred as to their being regarded as having
entirely loyal relations with the Union.
