THE EVENING STAR. |THE LATES WASHINGTON OITY: THULSDAY....... APRIL °, 1863, &2 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEE OETSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS, The Intelligencer, noticing the fact that orders have been issved “ from the War Department, vnder the date of March 3lst, for the purpose of more effectually preventing all commercial imiercourse with insurrectionary States, except such as shall be authorized in pursuance of faw, und of securing consistent, uniform, and efficient action in conducting such intercourse as shall be so authorized, and for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of an act of Con- gress entitled ‘An act to provide for the collec- t on of abandoned property and for the preyen- tion of frauds in the ii rrectionary States,’ spproved March 22, ité thinks the right of the President to effectuate legislation by sizning @ bill 1ine days after Congress adje (as Piesident Lincoln did in this case,) “is a ques- tion of constitutional law, open to consideration and discussion.” The Chronicle thinks the bread riots of Rich- mond are significant, as being a direct attack of the people upon the Confederate Government, aad takes it as a goud omen of the end being nigh. 0 THE CMINOUS SIL Up to this time we have felt il i: the Star to publish as little as possible concern- ing the arrangements for the anticipated attack upon Charleston, and the progress of the forces, military and naval, engaged in the enterprise. ‘This couree was proper for us to follow in view of the porsibdle injury that might be wrought by a premature publication of euch movye- | ments; and, besides, we were loth toudd, upon amere speculation. aught to the current popular excitement upon the subject. Believing, however, that by this time the im- portant event has probably taken place, we haye to call public attention to the ominous silence of the Richmond papers, so tar, with reference to the progress and result of the at- tack, which, according to their meagre de- velopments, was commenced a few days since. As experience teaches that they rarely if ever fail to claim and instantly vannt all the suc- cesses they imagine, for the nonce, they have obtained, that they should so rigidly guard from the knowledge of the people the details Of this affair, inclin 3 us strongly to the belief that those details by uo means such as to justify them in claiming a success in that quarte Or in other words: that the arms and cause Of the Union has substantially umphed there. Upto? p. m, to-day absolutely nothing what- ever had reached the Government here, except the meagre developments of the Richmond pa- Irs rejerred to above, explanatory of any- hing that has taken place, though they are in momentary expect of receiving advices through Union channels yin Fortress Monroe. THE BREAD RIOT IN RICHMOND. The sensation style of the statements that cane first in relation to the reported bread riot in hichmond threw some doubt over the whole story, but later particulars have been received confirming the reports and showing @ terrible site of distress and destitution existing in the retel capital. The numbers engaged in it is now reduced, howeyer, to some five or six hun- dred persons. The Richmond Seniin-f of the 7th, received an the Army of the Potomac, acknowledges thatthere had been a rot, but said the papers vere prevented from making any allusions to a.

The General than sent ter Jett. Davis, who soon appeared in the ce of mod and made # speech. He Hed forvesrance upon the part of the pOPtiace, prommcing to render whatever was in a> power to alieviate their suffering condition. Upen this assurance being given, atier some time the crowd dispersed, reliriag to their homes, but rot until assured they would pe supphed with daily rations by the Govern- trent uuthorities. After President Davis had re! scene, & renegade rebei Gener Indianspehs, Indiana, stepped made a brief address confessed, speaking fs he said from practical observation and ex- perience, that the people of the South could Lot possibly exist three months’ longer under egisung circumstinces, and unless more and better euppiies of food and clothing were ob- tainable, he thing would be all up with them. : This confession was openly made, it is be- lueved in the presence of Jeff. Davis. The scenes uttendipg this demonstration are described as terribledind distressing in the ex- | treme. ' Col. Stewart, from whom the above facts are { gathered, is weil known, and a highly respect- able gentleman.” H A deserter who came into our lines at Sut- folk lset week, reported the occurrence of a similar demonstration among the starving peo- pie ot Richmond. Desertere from the Confed- eyate armies on the Rappahannock, and in the Southweet tell a like story of destitution ex- | isting in their camps. It is not three weeks since a similar distarb- ance occurred at Savannah. The mob there was pacified by promises of instant relief; a wumter of wealthy men contributed on the t#pot eeveral thousand dollars to ease the suf- fering. Only a few before this Savannah riot & mob of women warched the streets of Atlan- ta, entered provision shops, demanded food for themeelyes and families, and where it was refured, their leader, described asa tall and boid-lcoking Woman, presented a pistol at the head of the shopman, threatened him with instant death if he resisted, and ordered her cum panicns to help themselves. Althongh there may bea considerable amount of food scattered threugh the agricultural dis- tricts of the South, it is evident that in the (amps and the cities, wherever any consider- ble number of people are collected, the quan- uly is so inadéqeate as to canse termble want, and is diminishing so rapic ty under the steady disin aud the grest wasts ze inseperable from army use that terrible aisrm is seizing the auinds of the people of the South as toa future supply, especially in yiew of the fact that in conmreq uence of the rigid conscription few are cultivate another crop. tired from the . formerly of rward and eit PER@0NAL.—Wm.

TELEGRAPHIC. Ss INSUBOK DINATION IN A MASSACHU- SETTS REGIMENT AT BOSTON. a ge ONE OF TNE MUTINEERS KILLED. Bostox, April 9—Insubordihation among some soldiers of the 2d Massachusetts Cavalry, this morning, led to one, Wm. Lynch, being ordered to be putinirons. His cemrades re- sisted, drew their sabers and knocked down the sergeant. Tho assisiance of the police was called, but the threatening demonstrations of the goldiers deterred their interference, Col, Lowell was then sent for, and after warning the men of the folly and penalty of disobedience, ordered Lynch from the ranks to be ironed. Lynch objected to irons being put on bim, and his comrades rushed forward torescue him. Col. Lowell then fired, killing instantly Wm. Pendergast, the leading muti- neer. This promptly put an end to further disturbance. GOLD STILL FALLING.
