l military authorities had yielded credence to it, and were the less reluctant to take away one brigade from Peck that on the 14th of March the latter had received with Getty's division, detached from the Ninth corps, the effective force of which amounted to from nine to fourteen thousand men. This is what Longstreet, who was perfectly well informed by his spies of all that was taking place in the Federal camps, was waiting for, in order to strike a decisive blow against Suffolk. On the 10th of April the troops intended to join Foster took the cars that were to convey them from Suffolk to Norfolk: just as the first train was about to start, Peck received a despatch from General Viele, who was in command at the latter place, informing him that Longstreet's whole army was on the march to attack him. A letter which, by a fortunate chance, had been taken from a Confederate emissary a few moments before, had revealed in time the preparations of the enemy, the arrival of a bridgeequipage,

In order to ward off the evil, at least for the future, the government conceived the idea of prohibiting the cultivation of the soil except for cereals. It was guided, however, by its advisers. On the 10th of April, Mr. Davis through an official proclamation appealed to the patriotism of all planters, conjuring them to devote themselves exclusively to the production of articles of food: the local authorities followed his example. This appeal was the more thoroughly appreciated inasmuch as the change in the cultivation of the soil so persistently demanded was, so to say, rendered imperative by the laws of political economy. The culture of the soil had necessarily to be adapted to the wants of cons
