From the Springfield Journal
A Home Market.

How many of US have any proper con-
ception of the quantity of food required for
single years maintenance of the army
Just authorized by Congress to be raised,
and which will undoubtedly soon be in the
field2
We have carefully examined the tables
in the army regulations, in strict accord
ance with which the ratons are dealt ont,
and find that for 500 900 men one year, are
required of staple farm products:
Ist-G84, 900 bbls Pork 600 lbs each)
I'd, 14O. 625 bbls Beef 900 lbs each).
3d-5, 239, 563 bushels Wheat Computing five
bushels wheat TO one barrel hour)
4th-456, $50 bushels Beans.
There can scarcely be required less
number than $4,000 horses for cavalry,
teams, etc. For these there must be furn-
ished:
1st-19I, 625 tons of hay.
2d-10 265,625 bushels of oats, or the equivalent
in corn or barley.
Reducing this guam tity of stuff to two
horse wagon loads, Of fifty bushels of grain
each, and one ton each of the other COM
modities; supposing the wagons thus loaded
to be placed in a single continuous line, al
lowing thirty feet 10 each, and we have a
line which would reach about 5000 miles;
or with the head resting in Washington city
the rear might be watering their horses in
the Bay of San Francisco.
In this calculation there is no allowance
for waste, for which armies are proverbial,
nor for loss by capture, as in the Virginia
races-nor for the consumption of those at
tached to and following the various divisions
of the forces, not composing a legitimate
part of the 500,000-nor for the navy, or
regular army, or State forces which will
operate as such-nor is there any account
of the rice, coffee, sugar, vinegar, candles,
soap and salt which also are required to
make up regular " ration" or one day
subsistence. Nothing is here calculated but
such as will be required by the General
Government at the hands of the farmers of
the North, and will be paid for in gold.
Who shall say that our granaries, now 80
plethoric, and grooming under their load,
are not to be emptied to make room for the
current years harvest, at remunerative
prices, blockade or no blockade?
The truth plainly is that whatever the
effect of this war may be financially upon
other classes of men and other interests,
the farmers of the Northwest must be great
ly profted. Let the pillow not rust in the
furrow.

what win be the results

The latest dispatches from Washington
state that the army under Mcclellan is twice
as large as that which marched across Long
Bridge, to the tune of 'Dixie," in July last.
We know, too, that we have now five times
as many pieces of artillery as we had be-
fore the battle of Bulls Run, and these
forces of artillery and infantry are being
every day augmented. Every thing indi-
Gates that the Government has now entered
upon the campaign in aa earnest and a reso-
lutte spirit, determined to succeed, and to
call into vigorous action the latent energies
and capacities of the whole nation. We
have every reason then to hope for success
Aside from the overwhelming force, now
gathering beneath the Old Flag, for its pro-
lection, we are fighting for everything that
is dear to the heart of an American patriot.
We fight to punish the infamous traitors
who instigate3 an unjustifable revolt, plum
dered the national treasury, insulted the ma
tional flag, and who seek to degrade and
destroy forever our glorious country. We
fight to secure for American citizens that
protection, upon every foot of Ameri-
can soil, to which they are entitled
by the Constitution and laws of our country,
and to destroy the terrible reign of terror
under which millions of property have been
confscated, thousands of innocent men cruel
ly prosecuted and killed, and the worst of
crimes sanctioned and almost dei6ed, while
the highest political virtues have elected
punishment more terrible than that which
awaits the meanest and most dangerous fell
on. We are fighting to wipe away all vesti-
ges of discredit east upon the valor, energy,
will, and power of the loyal citizens of our
country at Manassas, by combination of I'M
fortunate circumstances. We are fighting
to secure for ourselves and our posterity
the inestimable blessings of republican
freedom; to enforce the decisions of what
should be to every true believer in re-
publican institutions a sacred tribunal
the ballot-box-and to establish upon our
shores more widely, more deeply, and more
firmly than ever, the free and noble form
OF government that our ancestors transmit
ted to us as priceless legacy. We are
fighting, not only to accomplish all these
objects, but to secure our homes and fire.
sides from invasions the savage hordes
whose leaders constantly seek to excite their
cupidity and all their baser passions by
vain boasts that they will have an opportu-
atty to sack and pillage the rich cities of
the North and we are striving to teach,
now and forever, the domestic and foreign
foes of the Republic, that the hardy free
men of this nation, despite few disasters
and blunders at the outset of the campaign,
can become as terrible and destructive in
war as they are industrious and orderly in
times of peace.

Further Particulars of the Spring
field Fight.

Further Particulars of the SPRING
field Fight.
Captain Indest of ST. Louis informs the
ST. Louis Democrat that SigeIs force reach
ed the rear of the secession camp about
day break, in time to hear Lyons first can
non, and they plunged forward, taking the
enemy completely by surprise. They moved
down the rebels, driving them from their
camp, and, what is almost incredible, had
not suffered the loss of a man after a sharp
fight lasting half an hour. Subsequently
SigePs column moved down two columns
of the enemy, piling them in heaps. The
carnage was dreadful. Onward the Third
and Fifth Regiment with two or three
pieces, continued to advance, driving the
enemy on Lyon. Unfortunately they were
subjected to a murderous cross fire on the
Springfield road, near a prairie, the enemy
playing fifteen or twenty pieces with telling
effect on US. A perfect hail of grape and
shell was poured in upon US.
A shot from their cannon killed five of
our artillery men and shattered one of our
pieces. We were here about an hour try
ing to push back the enemy, and having
driven them about a mile and a half from
the point where we first opened our fire,
concluded to retire. The captains Skin
mishers captured fifty prisoners, thirty
horses, and loaded two wagons with rifles,
all of which were safely brought off. The
news of Lyons fall, and the return of the
force operating under him to Springfield,
was not learned by Sigel's men until the
latter were on the road to the above place,
showing how little is generally known dur
ing the heat of battle among the different
corps of the operations of the other.

Nor OFF YET.-The Cavalry companies
were being sworn in all day yesterday.
Three experienced men were appointed to
appraise the value of the horses, for the pnr-
pose of fixing the amount to be paid to the
owner should the horse be killed in the SER
vice. The average price was about $500.
We learn that Capt. Browns company will
be rejected because it is not quite full. We
cannot see the propriety of Diminishing from
service fifty or sixty good men, because the
full number of the company is lacking when
the mastering officer arrives. Dispatches
from the east, state.that fractions Of compa-
MES are being ordered to the capital. We
hope that Capt. Browns company will yet
be received. 1t is probable that the compa-
MES will leave to-day. A full list of the
commissioned officers of the regiment will
appear tomorrow.

A New PAPER. "A Democratic newspa-
per, called the Union Democrat, has just
been born in Princeton, and with its first
breath it defends the quasi treason of the
Princeton clique, who have immortalized
themselves by writing a political letter.
Our readers will see by card in another
column, that at least one OF the sigGers OF
that document is on the stool of repentance;
the public sentiment of Gibson county will
sufficiently condemn the remaining sign
ers." The Union Democrat-we Judge from
its salutatory-wilI follow in the wake of
the Terre Haute Journal and indianapolis
Sentinel, pretending to support the Consti-
tuition and Union, while they denounce and
decry the men through whom alone the
government can be maintained. The edi-
tors of these so called Democratic sheets do
not represent the masses of the party. The
patriotic Democracy have placed themselves
upon the platform of the Union, and will
make confidence in the Administration and
a support of its war measures a test OF
fealty and fellowship. If the Administra-
value the Union, we must support the Adj
ministration If the new Princeton jour
nal is to give " all and comfort to the en-
envy by battling a2ainst the Administra-
ton, its life will be as brief, as it will be
inglorious and shameful.

1t will be seen that some of these names

they have it? Will not every man refuse
