RICHMOND Va. April %, 1863
new order from Gen. Ord's Headquarters
Twill be issued today specifying tie manner and pro-
Eyiding for the udlcous distribution of commissary
stores for tie relief OF the 10y poor Of the city,
Some abuses necessarily unavoidable under the cir
cumsances have been brought the knowledge Of tie
authorities and il is with view 70 their correction
that the new order is issued. Thousands Of the starry
Hing have already awaited themselves of the benefaetions
of the Government and continue to do so until
Sthey succeed in obtaining some compensatinS employ
ment This will necessarily take time, and, until then
the deserving poor viii be attended to by the GofeL-
ment.
The city still continues TO wear the same nanmate
appearance business of all kinds being almost virtually
suspended, and although the doors Of at least two
thirds Of the stores and offices in the city are open for
trade but few enter to purchase. The citizens who
stessly stroll the streets have an exaggerated
idea of the slowness Of time and appear to entertain
no absorbing schemes for the future
I Every day brings parties of enterprising business
men from the North on 4 prospecting tour but tho
more timid observing the apparent lack OF money IN
the city, return home without investing. Those Wh'
Have sufficient capital to abide tue few months Of mae
tiyy which must elapsc viii doubtless reap the reward
Of patience for business must sooner or Later revive
land the city resume its former commercial status.

the city goes slowly Want Of capital VIII prevent

Eyded with the material Necessary most Of its rolling
stock being in good order.
