Yankee supplies.

--The Confederate Government is indebted to the Yankee Commissary Department of the State of North Carolina, for an ample supply of army stores.--A heavy train of freight cars, which tested the powers of the engine to its utmost capacity, arrived in Richmond Friday. It contained 112 bbls molasses, 12 bbls and 13 boxes coffee, 7 kegs of pickles, 171 bbls of pork, 2 bbls of beef, 14 bbls of sugar, 69 bbls of beans, 22 boxes tea, 12 boxes of dried vegetables, and 36½ bbls of vinegar, and many other articles too numerous to inset. This is only the first instalment, other trains are on their way. The estimated value of the train at our market prices, is but little under a million of dollars.
