The Bust ness Of the Summer.

The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing speculations in regard to the fu-
ture movements of the Government
forces:
During the coming summer our troops
will doubles she chiefly employed in
holding the forts, navy yards, and ar
senals now in our possession 10 the Sc
ceedsd States in fort,fy ing and protect
ing the national Capital; in looking sharp
y to affairs in Maryland, Kentucky, and
Missouri, and being prepared to protect
loyal and punish rebellious citizens IN
those States sustaining the Union
cause 10 Western Virginia, crushing the
rebels ia the eastern counties, retaking
Harper's Ferry. and subduing Norfolk
and Richmond; and in clearing the
tanks and the channel Of the upper
Mississippi of traitors and pirates.
This my be done in the hot months
without impairing the health Of our
troops, providing the Commisarist Of the
hospitals are properly managed. Then,
when autumn shall usher in jnvigora-
ting breexes, heavy columns will descend
into the rebel territories, in the east,
the centre, and the west, nor stay the
march till our flag waves in triumph
over Charleston, Montgomery, and New
Orleans. Thanks to heaven, the names
OF the brave men Who pant for this SER
vice are Legion.

This number includes oil the three

Iowa regiment, makes eighteen regi-

Of slaves seeking protection from feder-

troops will be moved through Western

teess.
There is . probability that the coun-
try will soon be called upon to furnish
one hundred Thousand more men to
enter the service Of their country. II
there is anything in the report, Iowa
will probably be called upon to furnish
two or three additional regiments. y hich,
We presume, could be had at very short
notice. This would raise the army OF
the United States to about 100000
strong, and yet be inadequate to the
task whish lies before them. The Sc
oeded States can meet such force man
for man, and raise the figure 200, 900.
There u no doubt about this, and it is
highly proper that the country should
understand il. And then the Southern
army is going to act on the defensive
oil the time. Il 10 Of 10 particular i'm
portancs that they lose every strong
point on the border; they invite North.
