THE BREAD RIOTS AT THE SOUTH
THE STRENGTH OF THE
ARNy


We make the following abstract from the
statement of an eyewitness of the recent
bread riots in Richmond as officially re-
ported:
The riot continued for two days. Those
engaged in 1t were chiefly women, the wives
of soldiers, who were in a starving condi-
ton. They numbered a thousand or more,
and broke into the stores, the keepers Of
which endeavored to prevent their ingress
by standing at the door with weapons in
their hands. At this point the soldiers as
sumed their quarrel and rendered assist
ance. Finally a cavalry company from
Williamsburg and the city battalion were
sent for to quell the riot. Bread riots SINH
lar to those in Richmond had occurred in
North Carolina and in Petersburg. The
middle class of the people of Richmond
think the rebels will be starved out.
From the same source we obtain the fol-
lowing:
The rebel army Is as strong as ever. and

Up to Il m today no information had

sanguinary battle of Saturday last before

We fear our loss in killed and wounded
vas heavier than was imagined at 1 m.

yesterday il said at Gen. Summers
headquarters that there were ten thousand
wounded then in fredericksburg; which,
though a great exaggeration. indicates
strongly that we lost more than five thou

cur left wing-Franklins position-where
the contest was quite as heavy az elsewhere

Nearly all of the ground that we gained
as the result of the fight was about mile
on the left wing. The right rested Saturday
night about a quarter of mile from the
town on the first ridge.
We regret TO have to say. that al noon
yesterday the impression prevailed at Fred

far less than ours. owing 10 the security Of

THE Ci1vJ- A TSInN

-
THE SITUATION.
Gold fell today In Wall street to AS, as
the evident change in the appearance of our
military prospects. Admiral Porter's ex-
plot in running the Vicksburg batteries
with almost his entire fleet settles the
hash Of Port Hudson first. we apprehend,
and afterward of Vicksburg, as well as
renders it impossible to ferry any consider
able quantity of absolutely necessary sup
plies from Texas across the Mississippi.
The emergency of Gen. Fosters situation
has been overcome, and Longstreet has been
forced to abandon his most offensive bat
terry on the Nasemond, after losing an i'm
portant one in the same vicinity. His re-
treat from the bank of that river, men,
toned elsewhere in today's Star, tells Of
the signal failure of his demonstration upon
Suffolk. Is it strange, therefore, that gold
has fallen to 145 in Wall street?
