are Of the opinion thas we shall ship to

lsss than three millions Of bushels Of
bresdstuffs per week during tho next
forty-eigbt weeks-sn aggregate OF one
hundred asd fosty-four million bushels.
There 10 in this very large crumb Of
consolation for the farming interests Of
this ountry-particularly for the great
Northwest, the wheat and corn field Of
the Uoion. It 10 now apparent 70 oil
that the immense crop raised during the
present year will b in demand, and that
BY the end of the next nine months there
will DO lees grain in the country than
there has been for several yesrs back. 1t
10 almost certain that there will be no
falling of from the present prices here
but on tho contrary the chances are that
there will be handsome increase. The
prospect is indeed . fattering one, not
only to producers but TO the entire coun.
try. It will cause renewed activity in
oil business pursuits, and bring on de-
gree Of prosperity such a. has not been
experienced for several years past.
A contemporary in speaking Of this
shows how the scarcity Of breadstutfs
must restrain England and France from
indulgiog in any hostile designs against
this country, if any such are entertain
ed but above oil the great advantage
which will accrue to this nation is "that
We shall have money enough in the couo-
try to sustain our military operations
without resort to foreign loans. The
question 10 not whether any English OF
sny European Capitalists have gold to
let, but whether they have gold to pay
for bread. This places the success o.
the national cause beyond all doubt, ren'
dering it only necessary that the people
shall be- constant and patriotic in order
TO restore the Union. We have now q
certainty that, for a given number O.
months. not only the gold VIC now have
will remain in the country, but that il
will be swelIed by constantly increasing
accumulations. AZ the great business
centres OF the nation arc thoroughly
committed to aid the Government under
the con stitutioual policy which is pur
sued by the President, and as this large
influx Of gold is and viii be practically
1t the command Of the representatives Of
those centres, the lack of means will moi
furnish an excuse for the prolongation
Of the war, while the expenditures for
war purposes, being oil among our own
people, will give an active circulation 10
money, which will benefit every man,
woman and child in the loyal States.
We can, therefore, look confidently
to tho future, both as nation and az
individuals. Of course it is not pleasant
TO witness the rapid accumulation of an
enormous national debt, nor to coutem.
plato the immense loss of life which
must characterize this second struggle
for the national existence of the Repub.
lie; but the debt cannot, if the war il
pushed with vigor on our part, grow to
permanent burden upon the nation,
nor reach an amount which would Pc
cuniarily exceed the actual value Of tho
seeded States to the North. Indeed,
the promise Of the future suggests how
rich and powerful We would now be il,
In addition to the gold drawn from
abroad by our breadstuffs, We could also
make large expectations Of Southern
staples, and,s increase by tens OF mill
ions the balance IN cur favor against
Europe. This reflection should only
serve to render Ne more determined to
preserve the Union as established by the
Constitution, for it teaches US that We
are not fighting for sentiment, but for
great pecuniary benefits, as we'll ~ civil
blessings, to lose which would be the
greatest folly ever committed by man.
