Deserted Families. .

There are hundreds of females and children
In Richmond who, temporarily deserted by
their fathers, husbands and brothers, would
hail with joy an opportunity to follow them.
We hope this opportunity will soon DO afford

The supply Of Provisions
In Richmond is now limited, and it Is abso-
lutely necessary that no mouth renaain here to
be fed which can be removed and fed else
where. The city council has moved in the

Brass,s Great Mistake.
The Raleigh Confederate says Bragg dla nor
mean to fight at Kinston, but run against the
Yankee lines by an error Of his guide, bat that
he succeeded in capturing 1,50O prisoners while
Celored Troops in Richmond.
The Examiner says that q battalion of col.
ored troops, under DIR. Chambliss. will parade

month ago, and were on the lines during the
recent raid.
Conflicting Reports about sherman.
The Raleigh Conservative OF March 18th
SA Rspor,s of sherman's movements are con-
fiicting. One statement, apparently reliable,
was that he was still remaining in Fayette-
willie, while another said. with an equal ap-
pearance of credibility. that he had left with
his entire force and proceeded to a considerable
distance from there, and that the citizens were
returning to their old homes. The Raleigh
paratively quiet, arc await the issue with the
utmost confidence in our army.
The following advertisement In the Rich
mond Dispatch indicates the extent to which
the impressment OF property by the rebels is
carried IN the confederacy:
To THE PUBLIC.-You are hereby informed
that all efforts on my part to relieve the imme.
date wants OF the people by endeayoring to
supply the eating and boarding houses with
bread in the absence of part OF my force (who
are assigned to duty in the trenches,) are BAT
fed by the impressment OF my hsrses; and be
pressment OF those, neither by word Of honor,
nor the guarantee OF either one or all the BUSH
ness men OF the city could prevail on those i'm
pressing gents (Mr. Bray in particularly to
grant the use Of one from to7h q m. to de-
liver some three Thousand g 00O) loaves Of
bread that they were loaded with 1t might be
dumped in the streets to the dogs without re.
gard to your wants; and it was only by the
courtesy OF the guard that l was allowed to
haul one wagon into Mr.. Davis's yard. Under
these circumstances and disappointments, with
all other obstacles placed i'll our way by our
worthy guardians, 1 hope my customers will
indulge me, hoping 10 be enabled to serve you
in some future day under more favorable cir
cunstanCes.
Very respecIy your ob't serv't,
