MOVEMENTS IN TIE WEr.-Tbo St. Louis
correspondent Of the New York World
predicts resumption Of offensive operation,
in the West af an early day. He says:
"From the activity which pcryades each
department Of the army It Is plainly indicated
that an advance down the river must be made
before many weeks. The gunboats are
rapidly approaching completion. The motar
heet consists Of thirty boats, all ready for
mounting with their armament. The tugs
and ponSpon bridges are in forward state,
and q large reserve Of soldiers is continually
accommodating at Benton barracks.
1t is neither polite nor possible to say
whether tie expedition may depart In three
weeks or three months, but the vast prepare.
tons now on foot seem to indicate grand
and irresistible army, which will not be easily
stopped in It's course. Accounts from Cairo
state that the coniedcrates are also making
huge efforts for . fitting reception. II 80

not detract one jot or title from the honor
due to the bravemen who 90 forth to per-
il and life and limb in their country's
cause, We would have those who stay at
home fully understand tie value Of the as.
sistance they can give, and the great need
there is that they should spare no excrtion
to so increase the production Of the coun.
try, that that there shall not only be
enough for home consumption for ordinary
sales, but also, enough to supply the SOL
diers who cannot at the same time reap
fields of grain and fields Of glory.
There is great danger that in the excite
ment of preparing for the immediate neces-
sites which the war has 80 suddenly for
ced upon US. that the wants of the future
be lost sight Of. In this section Of the
United States the crops last year we're
bountiful, and the stock OH hand now is
large, but the foreign demand is great.
and the cost of provisioning ono man en-
gagged in actual war is computed to be
about ten times that-Of supplying him on a
farm. Besides these facts the withdrawal
Of q hundred thousand men from the en-.
plOyment of civil life, a large proportion of
whom are from farms, while It greatly in
crease consumption Of pro7isions-lessens
the number of producers. There is then
every inducemcnt to urge farmers to pro-
duce as much as possible; patriotism, du-
ty, (for now idleness will be almost a
orime,) and the prospect of gain, all com
bne to the same end.
One thing in particular we would urge
upon the farmers of this section. 1t has
long been the habit of very many of them
to kill most Of the calves as soon as they
were born, or, when fit for veal, in ORDER
to be able to manufacture more butter and
cheese. This year dairy products must
rule low, and the demand be limited,
while if the war continues. there will be an
unlimited demand for beef-cattle will be
quick sale at good Prices. Beef and bread
are the two staple articles of soldiers diet,
and the quantity consumed must be large
ly over the consumation in peaceful years.
Let farmers think Of these things.
