WEWS FROM WASHINGTON. — Fl Now 6, ines. TREASURY FAY MENTS. Important Intercepted Letter from | ro cortiscates of indobtodaces to bo linmedialely 9° the Rebel Commissary General Of Subsistence to the Rebel Secretary of War. FEARS OF A SOUTHERN FAMINE. Arbitrary Propositions from Gen. Bragg to Prevent It. Gloomy Prospects to the People and Armies of the Rebellion for the” Coming Winter and Spring, &e., &., ae, ‘We submit the following important rebel official letter on the Southern bread question to our read- ers, as furnishing, in April last, a reliable inside view of the rebellious States. Their condition since thattime has become much worse; for the fears of the rebel Commissary General are begin- ning to be realized. As to the authenticity of this letter, we may say that the handwriting thereof, compared with that on the envelope, and the rebel postmark stamped over the two five-sent portraits of Jeff. Davis, and the date of the postmark, and the place, and the envelope itself, are sufficient to settle the question. How the letter has come into our possession it isnot necessary to say. Satis- fied that it is a genuine rebel document, we sub- mit it as such to the reader:— Arugns, April 25, 1863. Hon. James A. Saipon, Secretary of War:— Sir—As the excessive want of supplies in this department will require me to proceed back to Atlanta, Ga., before returning to the capital I deem it expedient, in view of the present impor- tance of time, to acquaint you by letter of the im- pressions I received from my _ conference with the Governors, &c. Governors Brown, Short- er and Vance only were present; but Governor Pettus, I have learned, arrived at Milledgeville after my departure. All agree that the planters of their States evince no disposition to seed for more than the usual quantity of grain and other articles necessary for the subsistence of the people and the army. Neither the resolutions of Congress, requesting the President to appeal to the people, nor the appeal itself, have produced any visible effect. Such of the planters as doubt the expediency of ralsing more cotton and tobacco seem bent upon clear- ing up new lands instead of tilling those now fit for cultivation. In riding by rail from Milledge- ville to this point, I passed, as you are aware, through one of the best corn districts in Georgia, and not one acre in fifty, as I am assured by my own observations and the reports of travellers on the road, is being prepared for raising that indis- pensable ai le, or other products requisite for the subsistence of man and beast. It is lamentable that the people are so deaf to the appeals of their representatives and so blind to their own interests. It is obvious that some- thing must be done immediately, or both the peo- ple and army must starve next winter. This is an alarming reflection, but it is fully warranted by the situation. Now is the time to avert the im- pending danger. A few days more and it will be too late. Several plans were suggested by the Governors for promoting our object—among them that of convoking the farmers at numerous points through- out the States, and addressing them through promi- nent speakers on the absolute importance of meet- ing the wants of the nation. Although this plan was favorably regarded, it was deemed too late in the season to attain the desired resulta by its execu tion; and the Governors finally decided to send an address—not to be published by the press, expos- ing our wants to the gnemy—to all the leading planters in their ren e States, urging upon them the imperative necessity of producing all the grain, live stock, &c., possible. But since the appeal of the President is disregarded by this class of citizens, what response can we expect them to make to a similar appeal of the Governors? In my judgment, none. Itis only by more rigorous, and indeed arbitrary, measures, that we can prevent distress in our towns, and subsist the armies in the field through next winter and spring. The appeal put forth by the President, and the one proposed by the Gov- ernors will be entirely useless. This is the opinion also of Bragg, with whom I yesterday conferred two hours at Dal- ton. The General suggests three plans for preventing the threatened famine. The first is, that the President, by proclamation, prohibit the raising of any more cotton and tobacco or clearing of new lands until further notic The second is, that by proclamation he order all planters to seed a certain number of acres of grain or other articles of necessary consumption, in proportion to the quantity of cleared land and negroes belonging to them. The third is for the government to take possession of the plantations, or auch portion of them as the owners do not intend to seed with grain, &c., and employ the negroes belonging thereto in raising such agricultural products as may be deemed necessary. Officers and soldiers who have been rendered by wounds and disease unfit for farther service in the field could be employed as superintendents and overseers The last mentioned plan appears to me to be feasible and entirely the beat that can now be adopted. As reasonable compensation would of course be allowed for the use of the land and negroes, &c,, I think the plan would in general meet with favor. At all events, the measure .would be no more arbitrary than others the government has been forced to resort to, and in view of the emergency, and asa military necessi- ty, it would be perfectly justifiable. The wheat harvests, it is easy to and learn from & trip through the country, will not be half as bountifal as we have anticipated; and the belief inte which the government has been led, that there are large quantities of bacon in many parts of the country, is erroneous. The inventory ordered by Governor Br@wn of the bacon and live stock in Georgia (of which you have “by this time probably received a | copy) shows the well-nigh extausted condition of that State, and yet, beyond peradventure, it is lesa nearly exhausted than any other State in the con- federacy. It will, therefore, be no easy matter to keep our armies in the field without causing suffering among the people till the harvests are gathered next aw tomn. From that time we shall be entirely de- pendent on those harvests, and that they may be rendered adequate to our wants I unhesitatingly recommend the adoption of the third plan sug: gested by General Bragg. | Let the emergency be arged upon the President while there is yet time be save ourselves.

They wore throo days Fee rai eet i ; i if takea to the Libby prison, where they laid two days longer without having thoir wounds dressed, and during all which time they bad not 6 mouthful to eat. Some of them, who were fortunate enough te have a little money, Offered as bigh as five dollars for a loaf of bread, but the officer in charge would not let it be carried them. Mr, Bobanan left Richmond on the fing of truce boat ta company with about two hundred other Union prisoners. ‘When the vessel neared Drury’s Bluff, the prisoners were made to Ite down fiat on the dock, and a special guard was placed over them that they might be prevented from seeing tho fortifications. SUPPLIES FOR PRIBONERS AT RICHMOND. Advices have been received from General Neal Dow, thas the blankets sent for the usa of the prisoners at Richmond, and the clothing and supplies forwarded by the Sanitary Committee for the same purpose, were ro- ceived and distributed. The government will forward additional supplies of articles necessary for the comfort ‘of the Union prisoners in the rebel prisons, THE CARTEL. Nothing further has aa yot boon done in regard to ox changes, but hopes are evtertained that the release of the large number of prisoners now held by them may bo obtained, from the fact that the great and increasing scarcity of provistons at Richmond and in the confederacy may oblige the rebels to eonsent to,it in order to relieve themselves from the burthen of their support. THE MAIL LINE BETWEEN BALTIMORY AND RICHMOND. Facts recently developed show conclusively that, not- withstanding the surveillance of the Union officers and the watchfuiness of pickets, there i @ regular mail com- munication kept up between the secessionists of Balti- more and their friends in rebeldom by sealed letters, transmitted with regu'arity and considerable despatch. Information relating to this treasonable operation is ready for the action of the officials. DEPREDATIONS ON UNION CITIZENS. One of the most reliable detectives in the government service at Alexandria states that large numbers of persons belonging to the revel army are now infesting the counties of Stafford and Prince William, These men are moatly residents of these counties and are around at home during tbe day,and at night go out and commit deprods. tious on the property of Union citizens. THE STRIKE. ‘The workmen upon the Treasuty extension had another mecting at one o'clock to-day, and the committee reported that they had been unable as yet to obtain an aaswer from Secretary Chase. Mr. Pray, who was discharged, bas been reinstated, but the men finally resolved not to return to their work until an anawer had been obtained from Mr. Chase. They adjourned until two o'clock tw morrow. The work upon the Treasury building in the meantime is suspended. DECBASED SOLDIERS’ ACCOUNTS. Much complaint is jnatly made in reference to the delay in the settlement of dead soldiers’ accounts. It is a fixed fact that the complicated machinery ot the War Depart ment renders unavoidable a delay of eighteen mouths in paying to the widow or heirs of a dead soldier of officer the pittance that may be due. Some of these cases work a great bardsbip. Such affairs are differently regulated in the Navy Department, where it is made the duty of officers to report immediately the death f @ seaman, also the amount due bim, and it is paid to bis representatives without delay. The Secretary of War could unquestionably simplify the War Depart. mMeot reguiations tn this respect, and thus afford relief to the thousands of widows and orpbans of men who bave died for their country by the prompt payment of what ts justly due them.
