G RiCHMCND DURING THE YtfAR. A SOUTHERN WOMAN'S STORY. Interesting Revelations-Scents d It - cldents In the Hcbel Capital. Under the title of "Richmond during the War: Four Years of Personal Observation; bjr a Richmond Lady," there has recently been published an interesting volume which reveal more of the Inner life of Richmond from 18U to 18G5 than any other publication that has yet appeared. The author is Virginia woman, who lived in Richmond during the Whole period of the war, sympathumg deeply With the Rebellion, and aiding it, like the Southern women generally, by active service in the hospitals and -wiwre. ner narra il're is drawn chiefly from personal observa tion although for her descriptions of tattles Bhe copies Tollard's history. Her accounts of the scenes in Richmond, the elation of the first six months of the war, the terror which seized the people at different periods, the sufferings of the poor, the starva tion which stared the whole population in the face towards the close of the contest, and the incidents of the time, are told with con Eiderable force and evident honesty. "The Pawnee Sunday" is celebrated iu the annals of the war in the South as the day of the first alarm in Richmond. Our author tf-a the story:- THE PATVKEE SUNDAY. On Sunday, the 21st of April, occurred the Jiret of a wonderful succession of Sabbath day excitements. The services had proceeded until, just at their close in some of the churches, and in others during the last prayer, the pre monitory sound of the bell on the Square dis turbed the solemnity of the hour, and awoke th ueonle to a dread sense of danger from what source they could not tell. In an instant all waa confusion. The men, in the excite ment, rushed pell-mell from the churches, and the women, pale and trembling with affright, crane to their sons and husbands, wherever they could, but getting no response to their tearful question-"What is the matter? What in the matter?" Hasty embraces, sudden wrenchings of the hand, tearful glances of affection, and our men rushed to their armo ries, to prepare they knew not for what. On every female face was the pale hue of dismay; but mingled with it the stern, unmistakable impress of heroic resolution to yield up their hearts' most cherished idols upon the altar of their country, if need be. Silently, tearfully, cur women wended their way to their homes, and from every closet the outpourings of sup plicating souls, for proteotion to the loved ones, went up to the ear of the Eternal. The alarm, however, was groundless. It origi nated in a report that the Federal sloop of war Tawnee, which had been operating in Norfolk harbor, was making '.her way up James river, bent upon the destruction of Richmond. In a situation entirely defenseless, with no obstacles .to prevent an easy and rapid communication with the city, either by land or water, it was by no means foolish to suppose such a plan possible, and even fea sible. The gala days of the war in Richmond, and the gathering of the troops in and around that city in 1SG1, are described in vivid colors. "The dire realities, the sickness, the mutilation, the sufferings, the miseries," says the writer, " were yet unknown; only the glory which might accrue was sha dowed forth." Regiments poured into Rich mond from all parts of the South; the women of the city vied with each other to clothe and fpfd th soldiers: sewincr societies were multi plied; "heavy tents of cumbrous sailcloth, overcoats, jackets, and pantaloons of stiff, heavy material, from the sewing on which women were frequently found with stiff, swol len, bleeding fingers, were nevertheless per Eeveringly undertaken." The battle of Bull Run gave the South an extravagant idea of its own power and of the weakness of the Federal Government; but our author confesses, in a later chapter, that the "enemy's elasticity was not understood by us at the South; but we were soon taught to understand the mistake we made in our esti mate of the energy of the Northmen, operating through a Government as determined as them selves on the subjugation of the daring Eebela." The narrative of McClellan's Peninsular campaign openB with this statement: "From General Magruder himself we learned that, with iiia little force of eight thousand, he so deployed his men that he kept at bay the enemy, who brought against him an army of perhaps ' a hundred thousand, until the arrival of rein forcements fr6m the army of General John ston covered the retreat from the Peninsula." This coufirms similar reports from oiher sources. Of Grant's battles in the Wilderness a stir ring account is given, and the following story is told: THE WILDEUNSS FIOIIT. A Confederate officer, iu speaking of oiie of these battles, remarked: ''1 never witnessed Buch destruction of life. One day after a battle," said he, "my own horse being ex hausted, I borrowed one to ride to a position f the lield a mile or two distant. On passing a company of soldiers, 1 asked, 'Are there any Yankees in this direction V they replied, Yes; thousands, and iu line of battle.' 'Well, then,' 1 rejoined, ' 1 must retreat; this horse is a borrowed one, and however little I may care for my own capture, I do not wish my friend to lose his horse.' I had turned my horse to ride back, when they shouted, 'Halloo, soldier, but they are all dead!' I then pursued my way to that portion of the field, and such a sight met my ga.e as I had never before witnessed, and pray never to see again 1 In a direct hue. for more than two miles, in every latitude of death, it seemed to me there was not a foot of earth uncovered by a human figure. In some places they lay in heaps of two, three, and four, which proved that a whole line of the enemy must have been cut down by our lire, and there they lay unbnried, their ghastly features dis torted in the terrible repose of an agonizing death." Ike effect of buerinnn's march to the sea is thus described: Sherman's makcii. He naraiy aare re reier to me sunerings ndured by the people of that section of the fcjuth over which General Sherman drew the THE DAILY EVENING TEIJGKAPH- PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, trail of war. Enough to say that desolation was written on almost every foot of ground, misery on almost every human heart. The fall of Savannah greatly in creased the despondency in the Confederacy. Calculations of failure now took the place of calc ulations of success iH the minds of many. The morale of the Georgia troops of the Army of Northern Virginia was unhappily affected by it, and desertions became frequent among them. They seemed unable to endure sepa ration from their families, placed in such cruel distress by the devastations of the enemy that ravaged the territory of Georgia. The people began to count the cost of the sacrifices of the war, and to estimate the terrible depletion that had taken place in the armie of the Con- cle8ea8CUT the fcamPg of 1804. The i this extraordinary depletion can easily be made apparent. During the year that was fast drawing to a close, the prosecu tion of the war against us had been more vigorous, a greater number of severe battles had been fought; and consequently the casual ties had been more numerous. '1 here we,re in our armies, as in all larr;e armies, a great number of stragglers; and as our situation grew more unhappy, and provisions for the sustenance of soldiers more scarce, desertion was most unworthily encouraged by our enemies. The most sti iking passages of the book are those which tell the story of the suffering in Richmond during the war. We copy a few paragraphs: BARF. MARKETS IN IUCHMOXD. The markets were so ill supplied in 1S52 that they had almost as well been closed. The meats were so indifferent as scarcely to be lit for food, and fish became the staple article. To secure these it was necessary to send to market for them before the break of day, and frequently then the crowd that pressed around the hsli market was so dense that many were compelled to leave without anything for a dinner except potatoes and poor beef, and the marketmen declared the people might "starve 1" they would bring in no more sup plies until the tariff was withdrawn, or the sale of imported articles regulated in a man ner to protect them likewise from imposition. They argued, if they were forced to pay the exorbitant demands for sugar, tea, brandy, and other articles from abroad, they had a right to charge similar prices for their meats, poultry, butter, and vegetables, or they would not sell them. The greatest in convenience arose from the Want of such articles of food as were in the power of huck sters to control. Rutter and eggs were never seen, and the fishmongers grew tired of the annoyances to which they were continually subjected by their hungry patrons, and re fused to keep up a supply. Finding our situation so deplorable, and soliciting relief, through a committee of citizens appointed to wait upon the Provost Marshal, the tariff was raised, and the merchandise of the hucksters again Mowed into our markets. From that time until the end of the war we were entirely at their mercy. Being wholly dependent upon them for so much that was essential to exist ence, they charged what prices they pleased for their merchandise, and we were forced to pay them or abstain from many necessary articles of food altogether. As if to recom pense themselves for time and money lout to them while the tariff was enforced by military authority, they doubled the old prices on their merchandise, and where the people groaned under the extortion before, they found the burden so much increased that the groaning was doubled in proportion. Fishmongers ran up the prices of the piscatorial tribe to such a degree, that it became no longer .need ful to send a servant to market before the dawn of day for a pair of shad or a rocklish for dinner, lor so few could afford the luxury that the supply was greater than the demand. Butter dealers tempted the appetites of their customers with huge rolls of golden, fragrant butter, at the moderate price of one dollar per pound, increased from forty cents before the tariff' existed. We were amused to see a sagacious-looking old gentleman put on his pectacles ana peer curiously at a ueautmii print of butter, as it stood on the table of a dealer. Alter a satisiactory investigation oi the choice article, when asked by the polite merchant: "Will jrou take this, sir ?" he re plied, "Oh, no, no 1 I only wished to see what kind of butter it could be to he worth one dollar per pound." Two and a half years later the delicious article would have readily commanded twenty-five dollars per pound 1 EFFECT OF THE FALL OF NEW ORLEANS CrO.N PRICES. The effect of the fall of New Orleans was felt immediately in Richmond in the increased prices charged for such articles of food as were brought from that section of our country. At once the price oi sugar was enormously increased, and other groceries were made to share m tue exorbitant charge upon that article. We were helpless victims of extor tion. A fortunate speculator, having in store a vast quantity of salt when our troubles com menced, grew rich from the sale of this article alone, and was afterwards facetiously' styled "Lot's wile." Other incidents of the war are told as fol lows: SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES DESERTED. Only boys under the conscript age were found in the schools; all older were made necessary in the field or in some department of Government service, unless physical ina bility prevented them from falling under the requirements ot the law. Many oi our colleges for males suspended operation, and at the most important period in the course of their education our youths were Instructed in the sterner lessons of military service. The operations of the Richmond Female College were suspended, or rather, the build ing was given up for hospital purposes, and the excellent institution oi Mr. Leleuvre was entirely broken up. There was also a sad want of school-books The stock on hand when the war commenced soon became exhausted, and there were no new ones to supply the consequent demand Very few came to us through the blockade Books were the last consideration in that ec centric trade. There was no time for authorship or com pilation, and publication was conducted under such seiious disadvantages, and at such enormous cost, that it grew to be almost iin possible. SCARCITY OF TAPER . There was a pltiabU scarcity of paper. Our newspapers presented as singular a variety in appearance and size as in the character of the sheets. Some afforded a double, some a single sheet, and the most important of the dailies were issued on a half-sheet of coarse paper, and sometimes on a poor quality of brown paver. Our epistolary correspondence was carried on upon such paper as, before the war, we should have considered indifferent for wrapping purposes. Not unfrequently letters were replied to iu the same envelope in which we had enclosed our missive, but carefully un sealed, turned, and the superscription ad dressed on the inside. LITERATURE. The literature of the time was almost wholly connected with the all-,orjgros8ing topic of the war. Histories of battles .ud sieges, of suc cesses and defeats, of dangers Itf laud and sea, were those with which the Confederate reader was usually entertained. But in our mterins and misfortunes we were frequently cheered by merciful visits from the Muses, who, pick ing their way through the blockade, and run ning the gauntlet of lines of battle, and ignoring whizzing balls and bursting, crackling shell, would sing a lullaby to anxious fears, or inspire strains of patriotism. The war poetry of the South would dp credit to and would be proudly claimed by any nation. Romance was little indulged. There was neither the time nor the means for it. The appearance of "Macaria," from the eloquent pen of Miss Evans, of Mobile, was a welc ome exception to the literature of the times. A few books straggled to us through the blockade. "Joseph the Second and his Court," and Victor Hugo's' "Les Mist-rabies," afforded us the ciost pleasurable recreation and enjoy luelit, and added a charming variety to our reading. A few original novelettes appeared, but there was little literary endeavor. Mental improvement was pursued under difficulties well-nigh unconquerable. FASHION. It was not in the power of tho ladies of Rich mond to manufacture their domestic dresses, as did the ladies in other parts of the South, but they became proficient in making their carefully kept wardrobe (by judicious turn ing and mending and careful 2 brush inga and cleansing) appear quite as well as they wished in the situation in which we were placed. Luxurious dressing was altogether given up, and for neatness, taste, elegance, and relinemeut, even under the Confederate dress, the Southern women Would compare favorably with those who never for a moment were shut out from the world of fashion and indulgence. Our gentlemen appeared under their home made hats, their homespun coats, or well-worn broadcloth, brushed until the threadbare ap pearance indicated the length of time in which it had been in service, or better, the coarse Confederate grey was the fashionable dress of the Southern gentleman. DINNERS AND DIET. Our style of living was quite as simple a3 our dress. Hotels and boarding-houses, in consequence of the high prices and scarcity of provisions, had ceased to furnish a table d'hote, and "keeping apartments" was the fashiona ble mode of living in Richmond. "We are living in the Paris style," did not mean, how ever, the luxury of a suite of magnificent apartments where could be served to you all the delicacies and luxuries of the season, but. generally the renting of a single room, which served at the same time the purposes of kitchen, dormitory, and parlor for the lucky family that could secure even such comfort able accommodations. The simple dinner was cooked in a saucepan on the grate, and often consisted only of potatoes and a very small quantity oi meai ana ureaa, varied with occa sionally a fowl and tea. At weddings we were served with unfrosted cake, and drank the health of the fair bride in domestic wine, if wine at all could be procured. We knew nothing of dyspepsir, and the thou sand ailments ot an overcharged stomach were unheard of. We practised a compulsory system of "Banting," and amused ourselves at the many laughable, yet instructive, incon veniences to which we were subjected. When invited to breakfast with an iutimato friend, the inducement to accept the kind invitation was frequently, "I'll give you a cup of nice pure collee;" and for dinners we would some times ask, "Will you give me something sweet?" (meaning a dessert). "Yes." "Then I'll come." J'here was somothing romantic, something novel in this mode of life, and the remembrance, though associated with much that is painful, is on the whole rather pleasant. Tea, sugar, wines, and all imported liquors increased rapidly in expense as the supply grew scarce, but not in the same ratio as coffee, which had been in universal use at the South the low price at which it had been purchased, and its stimulating and pleasant effects, making it agreeable, necessary, aud possible for even the poorest to indulge in its use. The leaves of the currant, blackberry, willow, sage, and other vegetables were dried and used as substitutes for tea by those who could not or did not feel justified in en couraging the exorbitant demands of success ful blocikaue-runners ana aeaiers in tne arncie. When sugar grew scarce, and so expensive that many were compelled to abandon its use altogether, there were substituted honey, and the syrup from sorghum, or the Chinese sugar-cane, for all ordinary culinary purposes. THE BREAD RIOT IN RICHMOND. Another revelation is that of the so-called bread riot which occurred in Richmond in the spring of 18G3. This event was hinted at in the despatches and letters of the time, but no particulars were given; the Richmond press suppressed the facta. Our author says: The rioters were represented in a hetero geneous crowd of Dutch, Irish, and free ne groes of men, women, and children armed with pistols, knives, hammers, hatchets, axes, and every other weapon which could be made useful in their defense, or might subserve their designs in breaking into stores for the purpose of thieving. More impudent and de fiant robberies were never committed than disgraced, in open light of day, and on a bright morning in 6pnng, the city of Richmond, the cry for bread with which this violence com menced was soon subdued, and instead of arti cles of foed, the rioters directed their effort to stores containing dry goods, shoes, etc. omen were seen bending under loads oi soie leather, or dragging after them heavy cavalry boots, brandishing their huge knives, and swearing, though apparently well fed, that they were dying from starvation yet it was difficult to imagine how they could masticate .1 : .in . j - i i . S . . . i ..l. ui uiyehi cue emuies under the weight oi wuu-u they were bending. Men carried imm-nse loads of cotton cloth, woollen goods, aud other articles, and but few were seen to attack the stores where Hour, crocories, and other pro visions were kept. J las disgraceful mob was put to flight by the military. Cannon were planted in the street, and the order to disperse or be iired upon drove the rioters from the commercial portion of the city to the Capitol Square, where they menaced the Governor, until, by the con tinued threatening of the State (iuards and the ellorts of the police in arresting the ring leaders, a stop was put to these lawless and violeut proceedings. it cannot be denied that u-nnt of bread was at this time too fatally true: btvt the sufferers for food were not to be found in this mob of vicious men aud lawless viragoes, who, in habiting quarters of the city where raigned riot and depravity, when followed to thuir homes after this demonstration, were discov ered to be well supplied with articles of food. Some of them were the keepers of stores, to which they purposed adding the stock stolen in their raid on wholesale houses. The real sufferers were not of the class who would engage in acts of vinlenca to obtain bread, but included tb most worthy u4 highly cultivated of our citizens, who, by the suspension of the ordinary branches of busi ness and the extreme inflation in the prices of provisions, were often reduced to abject suf fering; and helpless refugees, who, driven from comfortable homes, were compelled to tftk relief in the crowded city, at the time in sufficiently furnished with the means of living for the resident population, and altogether in adequate to the increased numbers thrown daily iDto it by the progress of events. How great their necessities must have been can be imagined from the fact that many of our women, reared in tt' "toost ease, delicacy, and refinement, were compelled to dispose of all articles of taste and former luxury, and frequently necessary articles of clothing, to meet the everyday demands of life. THE NEOR0E8. There is a curious contrast between the thirty-fifth and fiftieth chapters of the book. The former is headed "Fidelity of the Ne groes," and abounds in praises of the peace able disposition of the blacks; the latter is headed "Trouble with the Negroes." The writer says that at the beginning of the war the slave felt "an infinite gratification iu taking care of his mistress and the little ones, while his master was absent in the field." Towards the close of the war, the human chattels made use of their legs and departed, helping themselves to sufficient amounts of portable property to make amends for lives spent in earning money for the masters. The following passage tells the story: Domestio troubles of an irritating nature now arose to vex and annoy us. There was. unquestionably an underground agency te decoy away our negro servants, or to assist any who meditated flight from their owners. Thefts of the most provoking character were everywhere perpetrated, usually under cir cumstances which pointed to family'domestics as the perpetrators. For everything stolen purchasers could be found among the low and depraved in questionable quarters of the city, and the extraordinary amount of money ob tained in Confederate figures was a temptation to dishonesty with those who did not under stand the real value of the money in circula tion. The storeroom or pantry of a citizen, or a gentleman's or lady's wardrobe, would be plundered and the articles mysteriously dis appear, and all efforts of the police to discover the thief, or the destination of tho missing goods, would generally prove unavailing, to be followed in a short time by the singular disappearance of one or more of the domestics of the robbed establishment, to be heard of no more in Richmond.
