A bot- in pene trom @ relizble Union pris- oner in Richmond reached a Government offic r the rebel authorities have at leugth altogether | stopped the pitiable meat ration heretofore a!- | lowed to our starving men in their prisons- ) The excuse alleged is that they have cesaad to . |) be avie tusurnish their own soluiers with meat, ; There is Hkely to be mere truth than subter- ; fuge in thisexcuse. ‘the rebel governmenthas of late been seizing nearly all the beeves and j other stock, being driven to Richmond for sale | to the city’s butchers; paying theirown depre- | currency. } All the country natarally tributary te Rich- mond has, for some time past, been almost en- tirely bare of meat, and the tahabitaats of | More distant parts of the Contederacy wisely | prefer to keep their remaining meat at home to live upon it, to sending it to Rieamond to be literally, confiscated. Hence the current des- perate strait for meat in the rebel army ot | Virginia and their so c:.lled capital. Our authorities are, we hear, abont to en- d-avor to provision our soldiers in Richmond | prisons. An arrangement hus been entered into ky which Commisstoner Ould pledges that all clothing sent to our men there shall be de- livered to them, and It is to be hoped that his | pledge will be kept. Gen. Meredith will for- ward any clothing sent by private individuals ‘to any prisocer in Richmond—military or civil—along with that provided by the Goy. ernment. The fear is that the current condition of pretty geniral starvation mow gnawing at the vitals of Richmond, may prevent provisions, if sent, fiom reaching the destination designed tor them. The Government, however, will doubt- less promptly make the experiment. PROCESSION OF PRISONERS. The prisoners which arrived here from the | Army of the Potomac this morning, at 4% | o’clock, were marched to the Old Capitol six | abreast, and made a procession exteuding from | Seventh street to beyond the Old Capito}, ! They numbered 1,736 in that lot. Other arriva » savell the number to over two thousand. The | heayy increase of prisoners received this morning jam every hole and corner of the Olid | Capito! Pricon, including its capacious yard, wherein iney stand packed 48 closely as apples | im a barrel. The number of officers among | them is izs. They represent that but few rebels | escapect across the river; and their veneral ! commandize had barely time to get of, in that i way, on his horse. They seem to unite in | estceming the movement en our part as having been cne ot the most brilliant ana successful of the war. It is probable that these prisoners will be epeedily conveyed to Point Lookout. —_——<—_<<———<—<$________ TO ARRIVE HERE, The cargo ot the British sloop Mary, trom Nasean, captured on the 13th of October in St. Andrew's Sound, Ga., by the Brazilian, while attempting to run the blockade, has been or- | dered to be sent here for adjudication, and is | is expected to arrive shortly.
